The revolution starts here.
The big story this evening was the iPhone..and it is called an iPhone, even though another company released a phone by the same name last week. Whereas most of us was expecting something to rival Sony Ericsson's Walkman and Nokia's 5300 music player phones, Apple goes after the smartphone/blackberry market. It's a shame really as this has put the iPhone out of reach of most mobile users. Perhaps this was to protect the iPod market share. Nevertheless, having only one button, the iPhone is a very desirable and ground-breaking product, being controlled purely through it's touch-screen interface, it's and widescreen iPod, a smartphone and a proper internet device in one beautiful form.
I wouldn't expect it to be sold over here until the summer and it'll be quite expensive (probably through O2 first - like the ROKR E1).
Considering the Nano sized flash drives, we can expect to see the same touch-screen appear on the future hard drive, widescreen iPods in the near future.
