I am such a geek.
I practically drooled early this afternoon when I saw the images coming from the MacWorld Expo via CrunchGear.
[the MacWorld Expo is Apple's yearly conference where they unveil all sorts of uber-cool stuff. CrunchGear is a website that covers technology, especially hardware and geeky "gear."]
The new Apple iPhone, which won't be available until June and even then will only work with Cingular, is nonetheless an incredibly beautiful piece of hardware.
- There is only one button on the entire phone. The rest is touchscreen.
- It syncs with iTunes.
- The screen "knows" if you're holding it vertically or horizontally, and switches displays accordingly.
- It will hold music, videos, has a 2 Mpixel camera.
- It runs Mac OSX [a full-featured operating system].
- It will allow browsing the internet through a normal browser [Safari].
- I could go on
Sorry. I just think it looks pretty much incredible. Here's a picture for your viewing pleasure:
Oh, and since I didn't mention it, Apple also announced the release of the Apple TV, which lets you stream and store video and music content from your computer to your living room.
Egads! What a day!
