iPhone combines three products 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 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.
As cool as the phone is, in theory, the specifications are a little disappointing:

This is basically a replacement at an iPod nano level. While Macworld is far from over, I think this paves the way for a true widescreen iPod on a par with the bigger capacity iPod. I am probably not going to pass over my planned Nokia N95 for this gorgeous device but, man, Apple fanboy heaven.
I’ll be back later with more!
Update:
It looks like I am not the only person who isn’t impressed with the phone’s functionality.
