I think this is pretty cool. Hope to get one as soon as they hit Europe in late 2007.

Looks very interesting, and MIGHT be the "Treo Killer," but it lacks a keypad, and has ?? battery life. Regardless, Apple is a Gorilla entering a new market, and it's footsteps were heard loud and clear on Wall Street!
www.engaget.com has an interesting take
And the reality slowly sets in about what the iPhone is and is not. Noted analyst and Engadget pal Michael Gartenberg stated that the iPhone is first party software ONLY -- i.e. not a smartphone by conventional terms, being that a smartphone is a platform device that allows software to be installed. That means hungry power-users -- you know, those people ready and willing to plunk down $600 for an 8GB musicphone -- won't be able to extend the functionality of their phone any more than Apple (but thankfully not Cingular) dictates. Other unfortunate realities about the device:
No 3G. We know you know, but still, it hurts man.
No over the air iTunes Store downloads or WiFi syncing to your host machine.
No expandable memory.
No removable battery.
No Exchange or Office support.
Finally... a phone for Joey! Goodbye Razr!
The Treo is *still* the phone/PDA for physicians, at least until they start offering ePocrates, Wash Manual, and various specialty medical texts, in a format for the iPhone. But that will eventually happen!

It’s a very cool phone.
I don’t like the price tag, $499.99 for 4GB and $599.99 for 8GB version or the June release date. But for those that don’t mind spending 5-600 on a cell phone it should be very nice.
Just like every phone though there will be contract incentives from Cingular which will drop the price a few hundred dollars. And next year they will undoubtably bring to market a less expensive version.

Bone head move on Apple's/Job's part for stealing Cisco's iPhone name. Sound's like they will be having fun in the courts.
