IPHONE BLASTS OFF INTO BRAVE NEW MOBILE COMPUTING

Steve Jobs and new baby.

As you know by now the iphone is for sale. My son was on line the first day the Fri. 6/29 and purchased the iphone. (Spike Lee didn't have to wait on line) My son was in tech heaven with his purchase. Elated. The iphone was described to me as Godzilla coming to town - stepping on, and crushing all those cars, in this case, every handheld tech devise used as a phone, ipod, camera or computer.

It's mobile computing.

Here is a video which was out prior to the open day and describes what the iphone can do.
