MacWorld 2007 Keynote pt. 3: iPhonehome

iPhone
There is nothing that I can say to describe exactly what this product is or how it's about to change the face of consumer electronics. All I can really say is that it's a video ipod, mp3 player, phone, pda, and wireless internet device. Let's just let Steve talk about it.

Yesterday marked the birth of one of the biggest media companies in the world. That's right, Apple dropped the "Computers" from it's name and renamed itself "Apple Inc." just to show that it's the new big fish in the pond.

Oh and for all you Beetles fans, I'm guessing that enough hints were dropped that the Beetles are going to be on the iTunes music store very soon.

Check out Apple's website for more information.

Overall, Steve was at the hight of his game. It was nice to see after about two years of lackluster keynotes. Now we can understand why. Great job Apple team. It's just a shame that we have to wait until June. I'm guessing that a stripped down version of the plain old iPod will follow in the fall.

Fear not, we have a new OS update and I'm sure several exciting more products are on their way as well.
