Apple would beg to differ on how much a single device could do.

The iPhone has much better resolution and you can view video in widescreen by orienting the phone sideways. Besides, the screen is significantly bigger. The whole front is practically a big mobile touch screen.

Apple is being sued by cisco for the iPhone trademark. Very nice looking product though, price tag is kinda steep though, .....you can perform many of the same functions with an edge enabled pocket pc, and theres probably more customabilty than in the iphone.

I personally think that phone designs nowadays are horrible, ESPECIALLY the RAZR. I have no IPOD or any other Apple merchandise, and im not in love with Apple, but the IPhone design and product as a whole seems phenomenal to me. I was just shocked when I saw it because of how pleasing it was. I'm definately going to try to get it when it comes out in June, but is it a bit ricky to carry it around considering all the Ipod theft going around?

On the contrary. OSX will run on this, allowing for full desktop functionality.
