With it’s ipod functionality and the huge touch screen, this new phone will sure take over the mobile market by storm.
The phone is smart enough to have a proximity sensor, which helps to turn off the touchscreen, when the phone is right next to your ears. And also a ambient light sensor, which adjust the screen brightness according to needs, inorder to save battery, and further more, the accelerometer adjusts the screen as to the orientation you hold your phone, for example, when you hold it horizontally to watch a video, the display will automatically adjust and change to a horizontal view.
It runs on OS X, so you won’t miss out on all the glossy things. Which nowadays seems like everyone’s obsessed with.
Although apple has thrown away the click wheel from the phone, the new improved huge touch screen compensate for this greatly.
To finish this off, it also has a 2 mega pixel camera, for your MMS needs.
The phone will be released later this year, and the 4GB version will go for $500 USD, and the 8GB for $600 USD. So keep your eyes out for this!

nah, not my cup of tea.. i might end up getting one soon just for the sake of it (if i hv the money) but i dont think its that practical unless they improve it in the future and make it more of a smartphone (or have they already make it one?)
it just looks like a show phone to me (like the LG choc phone)

apparently, it’s coming in aus in 2008. -.- by that time, it’d be ancient and of no use. neh.
anyway, the touchscreen can be quite annoying…
