I’ve known that the iPhone was coming since my trip to Cupertino in January last year (didn’t know any details though) and now it’s finally announced.

Cons:

  • Battery is not removable (AFAIK).
  • No 3G. It’s being released in June 2007 and no 3G… Web browsing over EDGE is not a pleasant experience.
  • Closed - no SDK for 3rd party development.
  • In the US, a 2 year Cingular contract will be required.
  • No access to the iTunes Store from the phone and no syncing over WiFi.
  • Camera is only 2 megapixels.

Other than that, I can’t wait to try one. Hopefully the lack of tactile feedback is not going to be an issue.
