Apple announces new "iPhone".

I think they've done a fantastic job of working together a lot of really decent features and wrapping them up in a very pretty manner. Having it sense what direction you're holding it, the proximity sensor for turning off the screen and music when you're talking on the phone, the multi-touch screen interface...they're doing something right. Obviously the price is an issue, plus the fact that Cingular has exclusive distribution rights for an undisclosed (I think?) period of time means that anyone on the other networks is basically screwed (especially those of us not on a gsm network). Apple typically unveils their new toys with a fairly hefty price tag attached, and the price works itself down from there. I'm sure the iPhone will do fine once it can get past the Cisco hurdle. And it will probably open up new ideas for all the competing companies, as well. All in all, I don't think it's a bad thing that it's coming out.

How ya doing, buddy?
