So what? If owning a Mac is trendy, it doesn't matter if you like the gadget. I'll definitely be picking one of these up, pending good reviews.

It detects when you put it to your ear and temporarily shuts down the screen so you don't touch it with your face.

I was about to get a Treo750, but this iPhone is quite compelling. My only requirement is that it syncs with Outlook and not just iTunes and Apple's email client.

Also automatically switches to landscape mode when you tilt it while viewing pictures...from the accelerometer I'm guessing?

Please tell me this has good battery life...

10:15am - "So photos, SMS, and the phone app -- that is part of our phone package for iPhone. Really great call management, scroll through contacts with your finger, all the information at your fingertips. Favorites, last century [shows dialer], calendar, SMS texting, incredible photo app, the ability to take any picture and make it your wallpaper. I think you'll agree... we've reinvented the phone."

10:14am - I can just take my fingers and I can move them together and further apart, and make the photo bigger or smaller." HUGE applause -- touch gesturing apparently really hit a chord with these people.

10:16am - "Now let's take a look at an internet communications device. We've got some real breakthroughs here. We've got rich HTML emails on iPhone. It works with any IMAP or POP3 email service. We wanted the best web browser on a phone -- so we picked the best one in the world, Safari. We have Safari running on iPhone -- it's the first fully-usable browser on a cellphone. We have Google Maps." Big applause.

10:17am - "We have widgets, it communicates with the internet over WiFi and EDGE -- you don't have to do anything, it connects to the WiFi seamlessly."

So since it's GSM it can be used on both Cingular and T-Mobile in the USA.

10:18am - "It connects to any POP3 or IMAP email -- Yahoo Mail, MS Exchange, Mac Mail... POP3: Gmail, AOL mail, and most ISPs... let's highlight one, Yahoo mail. Today we are announcing Yahoo will offer free push-IMAP email to iPhone customers. This isn't just IMAP, this is push-email, same as a BlackBerry."

10:19am - "I'd like to show you mail, Google maps... I've got my inbox here, this is running live on Yahoo IMAP email. I've got inline photos, rich-text email. Let's look at another one... again, inline photos, rich text. Shopping list, rich text, pretty cool. iPhone parses out phone numbers, they're in blue and I can just call this place."

If this anywhere $600 and under, im buying one. Exactly what i've been waiting for.

 

[Al Neri]

what the hell will the one more thing be?

a 99$ macmini???

 

[NakaNaka]

Google Maps on a phone. OMG. I'm in heaven.

How much extra will I have to pay Cingular a month for the full internet connectivity of this thing. 20 bucks?

 

[Kaido]

Here's one nobody mentioned - Apple Home Server? Gates announced a home server in his keynote the other day...I wonder if Jobs will announce one as well for storing music, movies, system updates, mail, and so on.

New emails are automatically received by your client (or phone, in this case). You don't have to initiate a synchronization.

 

[aphex]

so is there a live video stream of this?

 

[dartworth]

Verizon would charge $30/month to use Google Maps...lol

I know right? Plus he said it's an "Internet Communicator" - I wonder if that means that you can use it on Wifi on a VOIP system at home...

 

[NakaNaka]

Wow. It takes phone numbers from Google Maps and allows you to call w. one tap.

THIS is the device I've been waiting for people. Yes, blackberrys and some other stuff has had internet and other things but this is the first complete device that you don't need to carry anything else. Phone, Music, TV Shows, Camera, Photos, Internet, E-mail, Maps, Widgets and it does it all by not having a typical keyboard/keypad.

I love Apple.

Now I want to show you somethign incredible, I want to show you Safari running on a mobile device. I'm going to load in the NYT, rather than just give you the WAP version, we're showing you the WHOLE NYT web site. I can put this into landscape mode and there it is, I can scroll up and down here..."

The resolution is unbelievable looking from back here. We don't yet know the dimensions, but It looks unbelievably fine grained.

10:23am - "I can double-tap and it'll zoom in -- I can make this text bigger if I want to, and there it is. Isn't this cool? There is the New York Times. Unbelievable. You can look at multiple web pages as well, I just push this button in the corner, shrinks it down, and I can add a new page. Let's go to Amazon. I like looking at what DVDs are selling -- I like especially when Disney DVDs are on top."
