iPhone.... from Apple


The latest sensation of IT world after the incoming from Microsoft for Windows Vista came from the Bill Gates competitor; Apple

After months of rumors, Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, promising a device that brings iPod music capabilities together with Mac software and mobile-phone features. Also announced was Apple TV, a set-top box that will allow users to push content, such as movies and photos, from their computers to their television sets.
In launching major initiatives in these two areas, Apple is looking to change the digital media landscape, one of the reasons the company has abandoned the moniker "Apple Computer" and rebranded itself "Apple Inc."

Apple's iPhone is a mobile phone that combines the wizardry of smartphones with the music- and movie-playing features of the iPod. It offers a large, 3.5-inch touchscreen, a 2-megapixel camera, and integration with Apple's iTunes music store. It's less than half an inch thick, works on a pared-down version of Apple's OS X, sports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and EDGE (a type of cellular broadband), and runs on Cingular's network.
