It actually has 200 different patents behind it. If there is a phone
that runs on no buttons, I'd like to see it. What I'd really like to
see is some of these technologies appear on my home PC (esp. the
zooming feature). Actually the closest thing I've seen to the iPhone
is a Sony PSP.
There's a lot you cannot see in still pictures. For example, it is an
iPod, but notice there is no wheel. Instead of a wheel, when you
finger gets close to the screen, the screen converts to iPod
controls. Same with the phone, the camera, the video display, etc.The
integration with Google Maps is rather cool. If you look closely,
you'll see what you're missing. This is similar to an Mac PC, most
people miss the fine details woven into it.
The new website is already up:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/
Their Apple TV box is nothing new either as I've been doing that in
hi-def for 2 years.
