After all the rumors and speculations about the much-awaited iPhone, we now have a whole bunch of confirmed details about this upcoming revolutionary telecommunications gadget. During the recently held Macworld Conference and Expo, Steve Jobs divulged details on the widescreen iPod-donning phone including its "multi-touch" feature, internet-browsing capabilities, wireless connectivity, and tons more! So let's not waste any time with all the chitchatty yadda yadda, here's an outline of some of the iPhone's features:

Hi everybody.
Well I am not a big apple fan, but I have to say that this release from apple is far the best I think...
At least those days....
But...
Does it have 3G? NO. Can we do VideoCalls? Impossible. GPS? Nop...
Well it have some things that are really interesting (like multi-touch screen and moviment sensor) but I guess these tecnologies are not prioritary.
I mean that, nowadays most of the PDAs come with 3G and of course videocalls capabilitie. Many PDAs planned for 2007 include GPS in its specs. And don't forget that the next generation of Windows Mobile is coming, like a mini Windows Vista for PDAs...
Don't even forget that there are already some phones with 8Gbs on sale or to be launched like SonyEricsson and Nokia.
In my opinion, it is beautiful (no doubt) and has cool effects like OS X dashboard. But it has some lacks that shouldn't have like 3G and GPS, specialy for that price ( this is a PS3!!!)
Hope made myself clear.

WOW!!! I see Apple just laid the slugging to Sony. I mean come on, this phone looks like it could do more than the PSP combined, and for that kind of a price it better do and then some.
Who thinks this will supass Sony's PSP?

» iPhone /+ Gaming platform
No one (or I'd hope). As great as the iPhone looks (and it does look sweet) I highly doubt it will have the tech specs or developer support to surpase the PSP as a gaming machine (which is the PSP's strongest feature). That being said, it looks like one of the best cell phones I have ever seen (granted, I'm more of a gamer, but still). Here's to hoping the next iPod will have many of the same features!

I think this IS the next iPod (rumors about a touchscreen iPod, remember?). Sweet.

» iPod?
I would be quite disappointed if this IS the "next" iPod, as its way overpriced (imo) and the biggest is 8GB. As an iPodPhone, its great, but a full fleged iPod? Weak sauce, my friends.

I know I want one!!! I can't wait to sell my original music on iTunes through the iPhone. See announcement coming up on StevenCravis.com
I think it will not overpower the PSP for games, but WILL overpower all other cell phones.

Nice, it's great to know the worlds hottest phone is getting hooked up with the worlds leading phone companies. Less dropped calls. Cingular, and I'm bout to get me that later in the future.

Top ten things that make this suck
1. Camera is lame 2MP.
2. No GPS!!
3. Nothing but safari? I dont think so, I would like to see at least opera, or firefox, or even IE, safari is a joke.
4. NO GPS!!
5. i tunes only!, so i guess the 95% of people who perfer mp3 to m4p i tune crap is well crap out of luck.
6. Video yea!!, oh wait thats paid for on i-tunes legal video, Boooooooooo!!!
7. Proximity sensor?accelerometer sensor?? you mean the small mercury switch that costs .50 cents at radio shack that tells when something is right side up. I hate when people finesse us.
8. NO AIM, MSN MESSENGER, any type of IM.
9. $ 599 !!!! GTFO
10. IPOD, ITUNES, I-whatever is lame and for hippies who want to be cool drinking overpriced coffee and trying to do as little as possible with there lives.

» God, you're obviously a windows junkie
Alright, first off, I agree that this is an overpriced, gawdy piece of trendware. With that said, I have GOT to respond to your idiotic attacks on this damned thing.
1.Most phones carry a 1mp camera, max 3. This isnt meant to be a *****ing digital camera. It's a CAMERA PHONE.
2.The GPS is an over rated POS. Anyone who wants GPS that bad probably has a device already, or can afford one.
3.Safari is the OSX standard, not a 3rd party solution. Licensing alone would make Safari a hell of a lot easier to include over a third party solution, or the competition's browser. Besides, wtf are you thinking, suggesting IE?
4.We heard you the first time
5.It is NOT exclusive to the m4a format. iTunes is a SERVICE, m4a being an mp4-type file format. That's like saying because I have limewie on my computer it only plays mp3 files...
6.Same as above...you can convert videos to mp4 format and play them just fine.
7.It isnt a mercury switch you TIT! mercury switches haven't been in use for a while now...we're talking a much more precise device. I agree about hating polished descriptions, but I also hate dumbed down mis interpretations.
8.Anybody with a half of a brain in the portable community can tell you about purely browser based AIM, YIM, and ICQ solutions Such as aimonpsp.com...originally designed for the PlayStation Portable in case you couldnt tell...
9.This is your one valid point. The price tag is obscene. But you know why? Because trend whores rush to get the latest shiniest POS gadget they can to show it off, before the price tag drops by half.
10.If you were to actually take a look at 100 windows users and 100 max users, you'd find that the majority of people who do nothing with their lives use windows. That's because you dont have to spill your whole life into learning and crafting your skills with a mac. It's intuitive. As for he overpriced coffee thing, that;s just posh rich bastards in general.
Also, it's not running a dashboard, you xbxo junkies. It's running OSX. Tell me when windows vista in its entirety can run without raping a full computer's resources, much less those of a 4.8oz device.
I agree, this device is a waste of time and money. I'm sitting here, happy with the ONLY apple device I own: My 30gb iPod video. And for you trendwhores who will be buying this just to show how rich you are; go ***** a tractor.
If you have little enough brains to pay $600 for this device, you wont be able to compute the features OR the use of it. so shame on you.

» good/bad
The iPhone is a great multimedia device. but it's not going to end up being as mainstream as the ipod unless they drop the price a couple hundred and ad a ***** load more features.
Good:
-Touch interface is nice
-OS X on a portable device this small is amazing.
-Google Maps/Yahoo partnership is a nice addon.
-3.5" widescreen is very nice for video.
-nice and slim
-seems to be very easy to use.
-2 MP camera. though for the price it should be a 3+
-BT 2.0
Bad:
-no 3g
-$600 for a phone? not to mention going to have to pay like 100 bucks a month to use it. i rather go buy a PS3 and an iPod (or zune)
-iTunes ONLY. sucks. just plain sucks. let us use outlook like we can on motorola phones or a Windows Mobile device. iTunes is alright for music but sucks for everything else organizational wise. this will hurt it a lot.
-Battery Life. Running everything from that screen has got to kill the battery. from a few people i know who are there they talked to the apple reps and found out it has a talk time of 2 hours and standby of 24 (max) thats absolutely terrible for any phone device.
-Wi-Fi. nice feature but dosn't come into any use. Your going to have to have a data plan to use the internet (which will run on EDGE, not Wi-Fi) and you cant download/send stuff via Wi-Fi. and you cant Sync through wi-fi. so whats the point?
All and all it is a good device. but i dont see anyone other than celebrities and spoiled brats owning this. it's looking to be like a sidekick. it's what you get out of the box and thats it.
maybe i'm wrong. but personally i dont think this will take off for a long time. (or after a lot of price drops)

» iPod Sucks...
Judging by Apple's recent history...
They forgot to mention a couple of more features that this phone will have...
1. Battery will suck... they will claim a cartain amout of hours, but by looking at the fatures and brightness... I'll say it will be half of what they actually count... just look at Video iPod.
2. Support for the iPod HiFi... but wait a minute... find one... at my local Circuit City they have been out of stock for months... and this is before the holidays...
3. Many "LOYAL" customers looking for returned or refurbished iPhones... because people are stupid and won't read instructions and need smart people like me to teach them something they can as easily figure out themselves... but since no one will help they will return it...
4. Microsoft's version (X-Phone or Zune Wireless) will have a bigger screen!!! Since Zune is a upgraded version of iPod... chances are that Billy Gates and Stevey Jobs are working together...
5. Creative is still better than both Zune and iPod... Warranty Sucks but still better product...

» dude!!!
why is everybody thinking of this as an ipod? its a phone, not a new ipod. also, it obviosly doesnt need 3g, if you actualy watched the demo, it connects amazingly to the internet without it ;) its a great phone and shouldnt be thout of as a 6g ipod.

» Video iPod and such....
First of all, I think it's safe to say that the price will gradually go down. Remember when the RAZR first came out? It was $700! And it didn't have near as many features as the iPhone. Now, it has a few more features and the price has dropped from $700 to $150 (with a contract). The RAZR is one of the most popular phones out there now. I'm pretty sure the iPhone won't stay $600 for ever. About the Video ipod, I wanted them to release one as well. But think, if they make something like the iPhone, but with an HDD and no phone function, it would be awesome. And it's not too far-fetched to assume they will in the near future.
Just my $0.02USD.
And by the way, for those of you posting comments like "THE IPODZ IS THE SUCKS!!! ZUNES AND ZENS ARE MUCH KEWLER!!! PLEASE STOP LIKEING THE IPOD WHILE I SIT HERE AND COMPLAIN!! :(:(:(" Please, keep your opinions to yourself unless you have something contructive to say. For all our sakes.
