Apple just announced their iPhone, which as it turns out may be the largest innovation of the year in Consumer Technology (which I find ironic sitting here in my hotel room in Las Vegas at CES). The iPhone, as Steve Jobs announced it, is really three devices in one: it’s a wide-screen ipod, mobile phone, and wireless internet communicator, all in one device. One huge thing this device also has: it runs OS X!
Further specs:
Touch Screen
2 megapixel camera
EDGE, GSM networks
8 meg storage
Remember the hype that surrounded the Microsoft Origami effort, and how the reality was much more disappointing than the promises? This iPhone may be the real deal. The potential implications for Apple and the world are huge, and here are a few that jump to mind:
Way more people will now be exposed to just how cool OS X is
The applications that this device supports could truely make it a laptop replacement
We may not have to carry around so much crap all of the time
There is WAY more to this device – Click here to check it out at the Apple Store
Should be an interesting 2007!
