NEW: iPhone
YEAH! Finally! OH MY GOD!
Some of the expressions heard when the crowd inside Moscone West realized what was actually happening. And from there, it just went crazy. The phone is the most awesome product I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen my share of mobile devices through 6 years of working in the mobile phone industry.
Pro: the ultimate mobile phone?
Pro: seamless apple syncing
Pro: features way beyond expectations...
Con: no keypad
Con: no 3G support (?)
Con: Not shipping until June
SuperCon: Not shipping in Europe until Q4 ’07
SympathyCon: Not shipping in Asia until 2008.. (not that I really care, but hey, be nice.)
No hands-on inside Exhibition, just a couple of rolling demo units inside plexy display closely guarded by Apple Staff. Also demoed on big screen, same as keynote preso.
