At the MacWorld Keynote in San Francisco, Apple have announced the iPhone, along with Apple TV and other products.

I have been especially interested to see what the iPhone was actually going to be like. From my experience, every mobile phone that has ever been made is crap. Crap! They all lack something, whether it be bluetooth, or they just have a crap menu, or crap buttons.. I could go on forever. Apple have taken up the challenge of creating a revolutionary phone, that is actually revolutionary.

Some of the things I really like are that it’s a smartphone, but it doesn’t have a stylus. It doesn’t even have buttons on the front. It’s totally ‘touch’ driven.

It also has a sensor so that when you put the phone to your head, it will switch the display off to save power. It also has an accelerometer to detect whether the unit should be showing the display in portrait or landscape mode. That is just awesome.

Unfortunately, we probably won’t see the iPhone in Australia until 2008. Maybe by then we might actually have some decent mobile plans with bundled data, rather than the ridiculous prices we’re subjected to currently.

One quote I found amusing from the Macworld.com news cover:

Closing the proceedings, pop singer John Mayer — who has stood on stage with Jobs several times over the past few years — played his hit songs “Gravity” and “Waiting On the World to Change.”

“Steve Jobs and Apple Inc. just make life more fun,” said Mayer in between songs. “It’s the exact opposite of terrorism.”

Bawhahahah!

A fun night until Coach mixed me up some doozies at Tom’s place. It all went down-hill from there. I could ramble on about it, but the photos tell the story best.

Check out Andy’s photos of the night and Coach Murphy’s photos of the night.
(I think Coach’s photos are the best )
