Apple iPhone Revealed

iPod + Phone + Internet + No Buttons!

The long anticipated Apple iPhone has just been revealed this hour... During Steve Job's speach, he more or less mocked Blackberry and other technologies relative to the capabilities of the new iphone. The iPhone also features no buttons - it's all touch screen, which is pretty cool.

Also, Apple dropped "Computer" from its name. Over the last hour, the company's share price has increased 8%

Apple decribes the iPhone as follows, "The iPhone combines three products â€" a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching â€" into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone."
