Practically the most rumored product in the past few years, finally sees the light of day, the Apple iPhone was announced this morning. So just how good is this phone? Lets just say I accidently dropped my $500 mobile handset in my coffee this morning, looks like I’ll have to get a new phone… Everyone speculated the iPhone and the “real” Video iPod with the large touch screen would be two separate products, in a startling move by Apple, it appears both products have been joined. The iPhone will be a true convergence device, it will be your audio/video player, phone and PDA, all in one. With Apple’s past track record, I’m willing to bet the iPhone will be Jack of all trades, master of all. Give people what they ask for, what a novel idea.
Apple iPhone Specs

It’s good to know no one will be missing out on this god-like handset, thanks to the Quadband GSM. I don’t really expect much from the 2MP camera, I suspect it will only be average. Assuming the iPhone delivers what it promises it will be a huge hit, but one key variable still remains unknown, just how good is the battery life? The battery life can easily make or break the iPhone. The large display and WiFi can wreak havoc on battery life, we’ll see in the future how the iPhone handles these hurdles.
