Steve Jobs typical of his Keynote Address at Mac Expo, being held in San Francisco has created yet another tsunami ripple affect across the globe, when he announced the soon to be released (June 2007) iPhone. Literally all the geek, Mac & gadgetry blogs are lapping up at this brilliant creation which is bound to send all mobile communicators back into stone age, no more Nokia’s, i-mate’s or Treo’s can seemingly come close to the sleek design of the iPhone, which boasts some stunning looks and an impressive list of technical specifications

Check this Engadget post to compare the size with Motorola Q, Treo 750 & Blackberry Pearl with the specs for iPhone. Its also good to see Apple develop a full OS for the mobile industry which I am quite sure is miles better then the present competition.
iPhone is due to be released for the US consumer market in June 2007 specifically for the Cingular customers and I am sure the unlocked version is still far to go to hit the markets well into next year 2008, so lets start dreaming and saving up for its global release, while we continue to dream I am quite jealous that Beanz is there in SF to witness this creation first hand at Mac Expo. Girl do arrange for a IPhone review at your coffee shop, everyone will be invited (TBA)
UPDATE:
- Check out the minute-by-minute reveiw by Beanz – Jan 9th
Read the review by Gizmodo who were given a chance to play with the iPhone (Lucky bastards!)

me too me too!!!!
It is *very* *cool*, but the price is a little high and who knows what the competition will churn out before the iPhone hits the market.
Thanks for the post and especially the comparison link.
its so uncanny that we both posted something about the iPhone at around the same time :D. hope to see one of these babies in my hands soon.
no wait i posted my entry on the 9th. Yay i did something before u heheh. (not that we are competing)
thats ok. your post has more info than mine anyway. 🙂 i just stole some pictures and wrote a review about it around the same time Steve Jobs unveiled it. Loved the live blog coverage of the event.Not that i am the only person who knew about the iPhone hehe.
the unlocked version will be far more expensive because it wont be subsidized. hope that one of the british networks introduce it by the 4th quarter of this year.
Dr. Sahib I was also there at expo and it was fun . I already knew about product in detail so my only interest was AAPL stocks 🙂 which made me enough to donate some of these iPhones to my friends :-). I am so glad that it worked out wonderful.
Amazing, Infact weird.

Poo I could only believe if you wwere part of the iPhone team. The URL I mentioned above says something very strange. Ok I hope you would lash out and say that I am claiming for somethning =)
apple is being sued by Cisco for trademark infringement. I always thought that Apple would have worked out a deal with them to use the name. Lets see what happens.
you seems to be the webmaster of bloggers.pk, it is not letting me in. Please fix the problem. You are running are very nice blog. Nice and updated content
Adnan, though I do not feel merit to response you but et me tell you that I did not say that I was in a team that worked on this product but definitely there are people who worked on it :-).

Poo, I was expecting such response from you this is why I provoked you. Thank you that you didn’t dissapoint me *smirk*.
Whaever I said in reply was on the basis of reference I mentioned in earlier post and I was trust Steve more than you. I think you have made enough attempts to tell others that you had some sort of association with APPLE. Give up now!
it certainly looks awesome but the operating system is OS X and that for someone like me is bound to be a turnoff…
