iphone

One of the most buzzed-about gadgets of the second half of the decade might be Apple's entry into the cell phone industry, the iPhone. The touchscreen/Internet/camera/and-some-other-things phone launched on June 29, 2007. Its second generation, the iPhone 3G, hit the shelves on July 11, 2008, and has been a hot topic on iPhone news sites across the web.

To use the phone, one did not have a choice of phone networks, it was AT&T or nothing. But mere months after its initial launch, people were looking for ways to hack into the phone and unlock its functionality into any service for any country (back when the iPhone was USA-exclusive). Suffice to say, Apple was not amused.

The iPhone's main competitor is perhaps BlackBerry, with the iPhone 3G and BlackBerry Bold models standing as flagship rivals. But whatever the latest sales numbers may reveal, the iPhone is a trendy accessory for the diligent blogger, as evidenced by one witness at BlogWorld Expo 2008.
