All hail the iphone
Written by Safire
The way these guys were staring at the iphone at Macworld 2007, you would have thought that Carmen Elektra was trapped inside the display case. Oh wait, but geeks don't like girls...scratch that... that a first edition signed copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy was inside the display case.
It slices, it dices, and if you ask really nicely, it will make you an egg salad sandwich. That's probably about the only thing the new Apple, Inc product won't do...but maybe in the next version. Part computer, part mp3 player, part video viewer, and every techie's fantasy... It's the long anticipated convergence machine.

The iphone even has an accelerometer! An accelerometer on a phone you say?! My first thought was, "So I can throw it at someone and see how fast it's going?!" Nah, it's for when the screen is tilted from vertical to horizontal so that you can watch Bladerunner or read slashdot in widescreen. And the gravy to top it all off? The iphone is multi-touch, which means that you can touch multiple parts of the screen at the same time to open or close documents. It's so Minority Report, it hurts.
Coming it at $499 for the base model, it's not for every techie out there. I'm going to be a poorer geek for it, but a happy geek.
