Apple iPhone

Apple's hugely anticipated iPhone does more than make calls, it also supports a digital-music player that syncs with iTunes. The thin design is dominated by a vivid touch screen that showcases videos and photos beautifully. You'll also note a lack of buttons and controls, since all menu navigation and data entry from typing messages to dialing phone numbers is done on the touch screen. Other features include quad-band world phone support, a 2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, wireless song downloads, Bluetooth, a speakerphone, e-mail, a Safari Web browser, and now 3G support. The original iPhone and the iPhone 3G are available in 8MB and 16MB versions. The iPhone is available only in AT&T and Apple retail stores.
