It's here: The iPhone

Jan 9th, 2007 @ 20:46

At long last, Apple fans rejoice.

Apple (now named Apple Inc. instead of Apple Computers) has launched the iPhone.

The phone automatically synchs your media — movies, music, photos — through Apple's iTunes Music Store. The device also synchs e-mail content, Web bookmarks and nearly any type of digital content stored on your computer.

"It's just like an iPod," Jobs said, "charge and synch."

The phones, which will operate exclusively on AT&T Inc.'s Cingular wireless network, will start shipping in June. A 4-gigabyte model will cost $499, while an 8-gigabyte iPhone will be $599, Jobs said.

IPhone is less than a half-inch thin — less than almost any phone on the market today. It comes with a 2-megapixel digital camera built into the back, as well as a slot for headphones and a SIM card.

Engadget also has a huge post on Steve Jobs' keynote.

Read what the blogosphere is saying about the iPhone (Google blogsearch).

Apparently the phone will be available in the US in June and in Denmark in the 4th quarter of 2007. Both dates indicate quite a long span of time, before the iPhone gets out. A lot of stuff can happen in the months to come…very exciting!
