The Iphone will be a big success for those who truly want cutting edge and can afford the cost of the phone and the $80.00/month for Airtime and Data services which will be 39.99 each. The cool features that I liked that were shown were the enlargements of photos by stretching them by using just your fingers, The way it knows which way its tilted going into landscape mode for pictures, and of course the cool factor. If you want a cell phone that surfs the web, takes pictures, displays images and movies, plays music and holds all your personal info, then the iphone will be the next big thing to buy. I actually can do all those things now but on seperate devices.. if you want all that on a handheld you must pay the high price point of $499.00 .
There's no doubt that iTunes is what makes the iPod so popular. It is just simple to sync with your computer (PC or Mac). If the syncing process is just as simple for your calendar and email contacts for your phone, then the iPhone will be every bit as popular and more than the iPod. Remember, this is the first generation iPhone; when the second generation hits, iPhone will be a must have product.
