Apple today unveiled the iPhone, a device that combine three products - a mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and an Internet communication device with email, web browsing, searching and maps - into one small and lightweight handheld.
The iPhone is a new phone that allows users to make calls by simply pointing at a name or number. It syncs all contacts from a PC, Mac or Internet service such as Yahoo!, so that users always have their full list of up-to-date contacts with them. In addition, consumers can easily construct a favorites list for their most frequently made calls, and easily merge calls together to create conference calls.
Its Visual Voicemail, an industry first, lets users look at a listing of their voicemails, decide which messages to listen to, then go directly to those messages without listening to the prior messages. Just like email, Visual Voicemail enables users to immediately randomly access those messages that interest them most. Visual Voice Mail was co-developed by Apple and Cingular.
The iPhone includes an SMS application with a full QWERTY soft keyboard to send and receive SMS messages in multiple sessions. When users need to type, the iPhone presents them with a touch keyboard which is predictive to prevent and correct mistakes, making it much easier and more efficient to use than the small plastic keyboards on many smartphones. The iPhone also includes a calendar application that allows calendars to be automatically synced with a PC or Mac.
The iPhone features a 2.0-megapixel camera and a photo management application. Users can browse their photo library, which can be easily synced from their PC or Mac, with just a flick of a finger and easily choose a photo for their wallpaper or to include in an email.
The iPhone is a quad-band GSM phone which also features EDGE and Wi-Fi wireless technologies for data networking. Apple and Cingular are working together to provide innovative new features to mobile phone users.
The iPhone is a widescreen iPod with touch controls that lets music lovers "touch" their music by easily scrolling through entire lists of songs, artists, albums and playlists with just a flick of a finger. Album artwork is presented on the iPhone's display.
The iPhone also features Cover Flow, Apple's way to browse the music library by album cover artwork on an iPod. When navigating the music library, consumers are automatically switched into Cover Flow by rotating it into its landscape position.
The iPhone's 3.5-inch widescreen display offers a way to watch TV shows and movies on a pocketable device, with touch controls for play-pause, chapter forward-backward and volume. The iPhone plays the same videos purchased from the online iTunes Store that users enjoy watching on their computers and iPods. The iTunes Store now offers over 350 television shows, over 250 feature films and over 5,000 music videos.
The iPhone lets users enjoy their iPod content, including music, audiobooks, audio podcasts, video podcasts, music videos, television shows and movies. The iPhone syncs content from a user's iTunes library on their PC or Mac, and can play any music or video content they have purchased from the online iTunes store.
The iPhone features an HTML email client which fetches email in the background from most POP3 or IMAP mail services and displays photos and graphics right along with the text. The iPhone is fully multi-tasking, so consumers can be reading a web page while downloading their email in the background. Yahoo! Mail is also offering a new free "push" IMAP email service to all iPhone users that automatically pushes new email to a user's iPhone, and can be set up by simply entering your Yahoo! name and password. The iPhone will also work with most industry standard IMAP and POP based email services, such as Microsoft Exchange, Apple .Mac Mail, AOL Mail, Google Gmail and most ISP mail services.
The iPhone also features Safari web browser. Users can see any web page the way it was designed to be seen, and then easily zoom in to expand any section by tapping on its multi-touch display with their finger. Users can surf the web over Wi-Fi or EDGE, and can automatically sync their bookmarks from their PC or Mac. The iPhone's Safari web browser also includes built-in Google Search and Yahoo! Search.
The iPhone also includes Google Maps, featuring Google's maps service and maps application. Users can view maps, satellite images, traffic information and get directions, all from iPhone's remarkable and easy-to-use touch interface.
The iPhone employs advanced built-in sensors - an accelerometer, a proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor - that automatically enhance the user experience and extend battery life. Its built-in accelerometer detects when the user has rotated the device from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display accordingly, with users immediately seeing the entire width of a web page, or a photo in its proper landscape aspect ratio.
The iPhone's built-in proximity sensor detects when users lift it to their ear and immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches until it is moved away. Its built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display's brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light, thereby enhancing the user experience and saving power at the same time.
The iPhone will be available in the US in June 2007, Europe in late 2007, and Asia in 2008, in a 4GB model for $499 (US) and an 8GB model for $599 (US), and will work with either a PC or Mac. It will be sold in the US through Apple's retail and online stores, and through Cingular's retail and online stores.
The iPhone includes support for quad-band GSM, EDGE, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR wireless technologies.
Yay! A cutting edge phone released in the US before European and Asian markets!

the upgrade price will be the same as the 2 year contract price, either $499 or $599.

Why can't we get this on Verizon? Come on Apple, we want an iTunes phone too, we need an alternative to Verizon's lame music player. It's just not right that we get robbed of one of the most anticipated phones to come out in a loooooooong time...

well its easy... already apple and moto and cingular had a agreament with cellphones with itunes ( Moto E1 rckr , Slvr L7, Moto V3i ) so i a way of adding profit to each company lets take out the middle man Motorola and work directlly Apple and cingular. So let me think maybe a 3 year exclusivity with cingular ... humm love it... By the way i agree like cutting edge tech first in US then in Europe its always the other way around...

Okay, so it's a like a mini-computer. But it does have a few flaws, some of which are glaring:
1. No 3G. Now, I have only heard about 3G from others, and while statistics show it's not as fast as EVDO Rev A, its still going to be a pain not to have it.
2. The Touch-screen. While novel in concept, it will have problems that I can forsee. How many people's iPods are scratched beyond belief just through normal wear and tear?
3. Non-removable battery. I know this is a "thing" with Apple, but come on... it's a Cell phone. I've heard that Apple's warrenty is outstanding, but still, how many are they going to replace before they realize it'd just be easier?
4. The price. 499 for the 4GB and 599 for the 8G?!? I know Apple's prices are always notoriously high, but damn... That's PS3 ridiculous!
5. Single Carrier specific. Okay, so this is just a complaint on a personal level. I've worked for/had as a carrier both Cingular and Verizon. And maybe I'm a little biased because one pays my bills and the other one does not, but jeesh. No other carriers will get this device until 2009, at the earliest?!?
So, in conclusion, nothing I say matters, because these things will be sought after with more fervor than even 3rd-Gen Console junkies, and if Apple REALLY wants to sell a ton, they should look to Sony's strategy and under-supply their first batch.

awesome news.. I just hope it works as anticipated. with all the sophisticated stuff on it. like the sensors.. I want this phone but afraid I'll have to wait and wait and wait and hope I can get it after the price starts to go down.. yeah I was hoping it would have 3g but the wifi should definatly make up for it. and I can't make fun of people I see with cellphoneAND an ipod anymore
.. as I have a music phone and it has a "small" music capability..

Considering that we're buying a cell phone, an 8 gig iPod, and a PDA with a responsive touch-screen and a 2 megapixel camera--all that, and the price tag's definitely worth it. The problem is, it might be so high-powered that it'll have a small market.
I'm sort of confused as to how big the market'll be for this product. Sure, loading MP3s into my phone is a bitch right now, I prefer my iPod--if we all already bought one, then I must have an incentive to buy it.

yeah I bought my first phone in a long time the nokia 3300 because it had these features txt keyboard and music capabilities.. a definate good phone there for the most part. but this phone has got me reeling.. I've always considered an ipod but I wanted one to be able to watch video clips and movies and music and to have a device like this. I think people will go nuts for this phone when it comes out.. (and I'll have to take calls on people who have no clue whatsover how to work the device at all) I get calls all the time people replacing like pda's and it's because they can't operate the thing not because it's defective.

Look... Some times transitions are taken too seriously but who can we complain to? Cingular can do Voice and Data at the same time<3g only not edge> ... i know its on selected markets but still having to hang up a call to use data suck for me... Look cingular is already in 60 million customers and this merger with Att eventually will be gr8 but transition againg well time will tell... hope it can be done flawlesslly// btw cingular just did a video share call... evdo can't get any closer to that

I'm not too sure about not being able to do voice and data at the same time with the iPhone despite it being non 3g. During the presentation Steve made a phone call, and while on the phone call he sent an email containing a picture, and then hopped on the browser to locate a movie ... all while during the call. He didn't have to hang up to do any of those things.

Question -
Will Cingular require me to activate a "Data Connect" plan with this phone?
I want to connect to wireless services (e-mail, corporate intranet, and the Internet) using this phone, but I want to do it for free by using this phones wireless (802.11b/g) connection.
Point being I want to pay for only the minute plan I use to talk over the phone and not use a data plan to keep my bill low. I would only use the wireless services when I am in a wireless hot-spot.
Is this possible?

You're miss understanding, just because it's 3g doesn't mean that its only 3g, you can still use edge where 3g isn't availible, same goes with edge down to GPRS.
If you're using it on Wifi (802.11) only it'll be free since wifi is hardware controlled, meaning you don't have to even have an activated sim in the phone.

No, I know it can be used in EDGE areas, but like the other 3G phones it wouldn't be available to me. The CU500 just recently became available in my area and only because Cingular finally gave it a wide release. That is what I meant in reference to 3G. The iPhone, not having 3G, will be available to everyone immediately.

I have heard of so many people buying these new devices and requesting that the internet features be turned off. Realize that you are paying for these features in the price of your phone, if you are not going to use them buy a FIREFLY. Also if you access some of the data features of your phone, ie. Cingular Video, or any of the music videos WITHOUT a data plan to cover usage you will be charged about $10 per minute.
All Cingulars equipment is backwards compatible, meaning if you are in 3g area, and move to an edge only area your equipment will revert to the 2g signal.

EVDO especially with revision A is as good if not better simply because it uses seperate data links for voice and data. Learn about the tech before saying anything. seperate data links mean that the voice network will not get bogged down by data being transmitted, much more efficient that way. Cingular HSPDA will be a good network dont get me wrong, better than the 3g networks deployed by verizon and sprint absolutely not. the data transmission rates are practically the same, with one difference a network like verizons the data usage will not bog down the voice side of the network.

rev a is not getting out nationwide yets. Still testing... Perhaps sprint is pushing thiis technology at verizons expense ..now to explain evdo rev a . Separate data streams like or are equal to dashes no continous data and voice... I will work like this... Little data little voice, little data, little voice at fast speeds non the less. But to have video conference i dont think will be posible yet to cdma evdo until rev b maybe... Video conference is already been done in europe in umts and hspda speeds... So lets see how it goes...

Okay you base your response more on assumptions and I dont thinks? I can tell you that CDMA rev a or even 0 could handle video but whether its feasible to actually deploy and develop the product is a whole other story. Of course I will lecture on data since it is my backround. a dedicated data link has more advantages than using the same link for both. Since if priority goes to voice the data side of it will suffer. I've talked to the people that I work with who specialize in deploying and developing EVDO tech, that the network could hand it no doubt about.

You know, this is sad but i did sit down for an hour and a half i sat and listened to steve about the iPhone, but I believe i heard him say they will be making 3G phones as well as others. As I've read other places I wonder myself(to sum it all up) if it's a refined test mule. What if they put maybe a smaller hard drive with 3G in it? I wonder if their reasoning for no 3G is battery life and Wi-Fi probably uses less. Well I'm guessing late 07 maybe we'll see something 3G?

It is unfortunate that they excluded 3g from it being that other phone manufacturers manage to include 3g into their music devices like the lg chocolate. I think that 3g support should be obligatory for a device of the price of the I-phone.

Look man... New technology is always high priced... No 3g means that batery life will suffer. Imagine to have this phone and it will only last 3 hours. Big bright screen well thats another batery draining feature + wifi + big touchscreen + motion sensors. its seems that the original statement of batery life could be very optimistic. I dont think it will be that long. Luck maybe but the facts is its will be a batery hungry multimedia device btw did we mention its a phone to? This is the first try ... and new models will come! so maybe newr models will have 3g and next batery technology will be more efficient...

( They block any feature that will allow you to get for free what they can sell)

4gb Sd cards are already availible and any phone already capable of 2GB SD sized cards can take non-SDHC 4GB cards, so save 250 bucks by buying an E6 then take 150 and go get 2 4GB Sd cards and you've matched the Iphone
I just the E6 Rokr and need some help setting it up for Cingular internet! Can you help?

I am not able to access the email function on Mobiledia. Is there any other option to contact you? Can you use the email button and email me back to my personal email? Thanks

I think the iphone is a huge waste of money. don't get me wrong it is a great phone but it is just to expensive (like the ps3) I am posting with my cingular 8125 right now which has most of the important features an iphone has plus it has 3rd party software. I can just upgrade memory through the minisd slot. wmp works fine for me and shelling out 600 dollars as a student for a smartphone worth 300.
also the whole thing with the nonremovable battery will be a killer

Well said, I was reading a little info though, early estimates say that the phone will drop to 200 by the end of the year, they just want to get the people that will shell out that kind of money to get one.

Luck maybe but the facts is its will be a batery hungry multimedia device btw did we mention its a phone to? This is the first try ... and new models will come! so maybe newr models will have 3g and next batery technology will be more efficient...
