I hope Apple Inc will come out with a widescreen ipod exactly like the iPhone minus the phone features.

Here are some facts extracted from Engadget.com on iPhone:
QUOTE
    * The mobile version of OS X or whatever it is the iPhone runs takes up 700MB of the device's capacity. Damn son!

    * There's no way to cut, copy, or paste text! WHOA! Big, big mistake.

    * No A2DP support. That, friends, is such a huge bummer right there.

    * Sorry, music can't be used as a ringtone -- even if it's just a raw MP3. No additional ringtones will be sold at launch.

    * On a PC the iPhone syncs with Outlook for calendars AND addresses! Noice.

    * It supports Exchange in some capacity, according to Walt, but he doesn't exactly say how.

    * Pogue again confirms document file reading -- but not editing -- for PDF, Word, and Excel (only).

    * Adobe Flash support is officially out. It's just not in the browser. Neither is there any other kind of embedded video support. Sorry everybody, that's that.

    * It will take snaps, but won't record video. How can Apple love YouTube as much as it does and not realize cellphone-shot movies make up a sizeable chunk of the crazy crap you find on there?

    * Oh, and no MMS. And sorry, no voice dialing, either.

    * Contact groups can't be emailed as contact lists.

    * Apple sez between 300-400 charges the iPhone will lose battery capacity -- you'll send it in and get the cell replaced for a fee. Meh. We knew this would be the case, but still, meh.

    * Apple can (and supposedly will) be rolling out periodic updates -- no surprise there.

    * Battery life is, somehow, almost as mind-blowingly good as Apple claims for calls, music, and movies.

    * As we suspected, users are prompted with lists of WiFi networks if you're not nearby a trusted hotspot. We've seen this on other phones, and we're afraid this would get friggin annoying.

    * It's said to be very scratch resistant. The facade both front and rear apparently just doesn't pick up marring like regular iPods do.

    * Voice quality is said to be good -- not great.
