Apple iPhone - Have Apple reinvented the phone?
Apple Computer Incorporated's CEO Steve Jobs announced a new product on Tuesday 9th January 2007 at MacWorld, that could be as revolutionary as the Apple Macintosh or the Apple iPod. 1984's Macintosh certainly changed personal computing, but the new Apple iPhone could revolutionise your whole life.
The Apple iPhone is not just a phone. It is the world's first wide-screen iPod; it runs Mac OSX, it switches views from landscape to portrait automatically when you swivel it; it displays your photos; it takes photos, it is a contact manager. It is the natural convergence of everything digital, the ultimate smartphone.

It does proper push email like the Blackberry but instead of tiny plastic keys, Apple have created their take on the touch screen. It seemed to work well with Steve Job's keynote and I like the way it works with the iPod too. This is the point Apple have created a device, pointed to by David Siegel in 1999. This new iPod, is first and foremost a great communicator. It can send and receive emails, host conference calls, dial and receive telephone calls, when the phone rings, your music stops, when you end the call, it starts again.

If it is as good as a phone as a Nokia, then Apple surely have created a winner. A really fantastic, portable device. Available in 4 or 8GB versions, this looks like being the must-have gadget for 2007, especially at Christmas, and Santa, I know what's on my list. Do you want it now?
Apple might just have reinvented the phone
If it works, as well as it looks, I believe Apple Computer International may have just, as they claim, reinvented the phone. We will know come June in the USA, Europe in Q3, and Asia in 2008 for ourselves if Apple have cracked it. I think it is significant that Apple have reinvented their name too. From Apple Computer International to Apple, Inc. I like to think this will allow them new possibilities.
