Apple iPhone announced at Macworld

Apple iPhone announced at Macworld - read the full textToday, at Macworld 2007 Apple announced the long-awaited iPhone - a widescreen iPod, a mobile phone, a mobile Internet terminal, a digital camera and a portable PIM organizer all-in-one....

 

It has a zirconium screen, another Apple pantent-special for it. If you looked in the demonstration-photos, even after he played with it pretty much it was very clean.

Yes. Definetly, we can't compare N95 with iPhone, for the moment. Hardware talking, the N95 beats the iPhone, let's say. But software talking... (rolling on the floor laughing)

But let's not forget. We're 6 months ahead from the moment that iPhone will start shipping. I really think that Apple will come with a better camera and who knows 3G.

I work in the consumer sales and marketing side of the t-com industry and must say that this is a device that makes my heart pound with excitement! Sleek and fuctional. Most apple users are used to and expect an apple product to be a little errr delicate so although it may not perform as well or as smoothly as the Nokia it will out sell it based on the strength of the Apple brand right now. This along with LNP launching in Canada will send the numbers spinning in 2007!

Also what would be nice.

A VGA cam in the front for video conferencing when iChat comes out on iPhone.

Also an active GPS would be nice also, when using Google Maps, but that is just me.

I'll wait for Rev.B to come out.

Hopefully it will have iChat, and Quicktime.

More NAND flash space over 10 Gb would be nice.

Better built-in camera say 5+ megapixels (auto-focus).

Also I want UMTS or HSDPA (?sp)

Also unlocked.

Probably wont happen, until sometime in 2008 (Rev.B)

I have been waiting for this phone to come out now for a while! and i must say it is more that i expected it to be, even thow it has 8gb im stil dissapointed with its camera. i have a w800i and i think its one of the best phones on the market but i dont think i will bother updating to this.

Actually it DOES have WiFi. So there you go. ;)


Will GSMArena be creating a section for Apple phones now too? ;)

Tony:

how can you compare to N95? This iphone lacks:
HSDPA, 5mpix camera, GPS onboard, WiFi and finally (despite being quite thin) is very big in comparison.

It won't be available in US (where it will launch first) until June, and quoted around 2008 in Asia unfortunately. I've seen the notes from the presentation and it is to be honest one amazing little machine. Comes in 4GB / 8GB capacity. To put it simply this is what you would have if you merge an iPod with a smart phone.
