Apple iPhone announced at Macworld 2007


At Macworld 2007 Apple finally answered all the rumours that come up with the iPhone. They finally announce the mighty long-awaited iPhone - it's a widescreen iPod, a mobile phone, a mobile Internet terminal, a digital camera and a portable PIM organizer all-in-one. now that's we call all in one gadget. Considering the date that it will be officially announced too bad the mighty iPhone doesn't support 3G network. I think by the time this phone will be available, 3G network will offering much better service. But considering this is just a sneak preview, it's not possible they gonna add this feature in the future.
