- Touchscreen / Multi Touch

Yeah no more stuck buttons! The best thing since the computer mouse.

- Intelligent Keyboard

The first "true" personal digital assistant (PDA).

- iPod for both music and video

This capability speaks for itself.

- Visual Voice mail

No more listening to a message to get to the next.

- Enhanced SMS with predictive QWERTY

A blessing for bad spellers.

- 2 Mega pixel Camera

Ok, nothing to get excited over here except that maybe it is on a beautiful 3.5 in wide-screen display.

- Web Browser with Safari

A cool zoom feature to allow for a quick close up of website with a tap of a finger.

- Mail and Free IMAP from Yahoo!

Beware Blackberry!

- Google Maps!

Simply the best online map application on the palm of your hands.

- Widgets

The luxury for a gadget.

- Runs Apple OS X

Wow! What ever happened to mobile applications?

- WiFi

Uses GSM Quad-band, Cingular's EDGE, and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)

- Advanced Sensors

Try to trick this phone don't be shy.

Now we know what it has but what is a good for...

Pros

- Advanced controls. The touchscreen blew me away, it's a great concept to break away from the standard buttons on cell phones. No more buying "physical" face plates or keypads. No more hassles with changing them either, most likely iPhone will offer the ability to purchase different visual screens. And the underground clans on the web will definitely make those available for free!

- Visual Voicemail. Truly, the greatest things are the simplest things. I can't count how many hours I've wasted waiting for a voice mail to finish to go the one I actually want. Why didn't anyone think of this before? Thank you Apple.

- WiFi. iPhone is completely tweaked out to for Wireless networks using quad-band GSM and Bluetooth 2.0, who needs 3G?

Cons

- No 3G. For some this might come as a great disappointment as so much content is built around 3G. Will the white collar worker be able to adapt so easily? This isn't a Smartphone compared to the contemporary standards but has surpassed that level (?)

- No expandable memory. The ultimate disadvantage to any user of a gadget and advantage to a company is getting more orders. Is 4Gb and 8Gb enough? No! When will we see expandable memory capabilities on such devices, Your guess is as good as ours. Please send your complaints to the respective corporation.

- No removable battery. Ah, once again stuck to your desktop, laptop, or outlet.

- Price. 4GB for $499 and 8GB for $599 with a 2yr contract and no ability to expand the memory. Yeah there is a problem here.
