One word.

iPhone is ROX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is everything. The best thing is it running in OSX. So powerful. widescreen iPod....internet.....phone. AWESOME. For sure will come out the 3G ver. Think still under development. This one is for temporary as everyone is waiting for the iPhone.

Since is running OSX. Just want to know what is the spec for the processors of iPhone. It is so graphical. Should be great processors.

not nice...very easy to slip...wah cheap? thts almost my salary.unless i earn USD salary.

proximity sensor
light sensor
accellerometer
for wat? add more price?
*



proximity sensor - to save battery, avoid ur face doing their own jobs on the touchscreen

light sensor - this is common, most of new phones nowadays got tat, k800i, n73, w810i etc etc

accelerometer - tat is for the multitouch technology.. on screen control, without the use of stylus..

the tech are the price u pay for...

light sensor aka ambience sensor - to throttle the backlight for energy saving. e.g. in dark environment, backlight don't have to be so strong.

Nope, accelerometer is not for multitouch. Currently, it is mainly used to detect orientation of phone whether it is potrait or landscape mode. It is possible they incorporate other uses for it, like manipulating some UI based on (non-touch) gestures .. sorta like Wiimote?

About the availability in Asia only in 2008:
- hopefully drive price a bit lower
- 2nd revision - fix bugs from first revision
- introduced SDK during WWDC in June so that third-party developers can tweak their apps, create new ones for it
- 3G
- WiMax
- Larger capacity
- some China company reverse engineer it and hack it to run on their clone ala osx86 biggrin.gif
