Apple to Release the IPhone in June 2007
Rumored to be the latest generation video iPod, the iPhone will sport three devices in one - A cell phone which will include all the latest flashy features, A wide-screen iPod which will contain all of the features originally present in traditional iPod and last, an internet communication device with WiFi integration.
Apple has chosen to release the iPhone through the popular carrier, Cingular. Cingular has long been known for its "high-end" and "graphically pleasing" cell phones. With the recent merge between Cingular and AT&T, Cingular is one of the best cell phone providers around.
Initially, the iPhone will only be available through Cingular and official Apple retail stores, however, rumor has it that the iPhone will be released to Cingular's major competitor, Verizon, in the near future. Apple has planned to release the device in June of 2007 in the United States, and late 2007 / early 2008 for the rest of the world.
The iPhone will be available in two different models - A 4GB model for $499 w/ two year contract, and an 8GB model for $599 w/ two year contract.
Apple has spent years developing the new design for this phone. What would an Apple product be without the famed Apple logo? The iPhone lives up to any other Apple product - Impressive to say the least. The design lacks traditional buttons, and incorporates only a touch screen.
The display is an incredible 3.5 inches (320 x 480 x 160 pixels per inch) which Jobs claims to be the highest resolution on any Apple product to date. The video and photos naturally look great, with excellent clarity. The touch screen is sensitive enough to be operated by a single finger, without the aid of a stylus, proving to be even more helpful.
Finally, the iPhone runs on the Mac OS X operating system, and promises an impressive 2-megapixel camera, photo-management tool, support for Google Maps, conference calling, speakerphone and text messaging. Nonetheless, the iPhone should do nothing less than exceed expectations all around the world.
