iPhone

$600 seems downright reasonable for ipod/phone/internet/digital camera

[kidcolin]

it pretty much has to have a case though, right?

Also, one of the very cool uses of the 'multitouch' is zooming in & out of photos (and maybe web pages?) - put two fingers on the screen close together and slide apart, and it zooms in, slide towards each other, and it zooms out.

And there is a virtual keyboard also, with predictive capability.

2 Megapixal camera. Don't get it for that last one. It still is a deal considering it's capabilities. Anybody see any mention of how much the plans might cost? How much are the plans for Treos and stuff?

Ahahah ohhh I see what turnip was asking - I am retarded [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Although I guess turnip's question still stands - will they have a standalone widescreen non-phone device?

kinda seems like they have to if the iphone maxes out at 8gb. they could assume that people will be satisfied with their 5th gen ipods for a while, but it seems like they are really pushing the tv shows/movies through itunes business model, so i strongly suspect they will drop a widescreen with a pretty ill storage capacity sometime soon.

From apple.com:

"iPhone’s accelerometer detects when you rotate the device from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page or a photo in its proper landscape aspect ratio.

The proximity sensor detects when you lift iPhone to your ear and immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches until iPhone is moved away."



There are definitely some innovative and awesome features here, this product could be awesome

Looks rather large, unless that's a particularly tiny hand.

also, Steve Jobs is [censored] small!!!

have they released any specs on this like memory (hdd?) size or battery life? this screen looks beautiful, but it probably means its a battery killer.

So, as By-Tor mentioned before, this is the "proximity sensor"? I thought that the patent they were going for was about fingers hovering over the screen for inputs etc.
