Fever Builds for iPhone
The anticipation, which is intense even by Jobsian standards, has led to some quiet, behind-the-scenes anxiety at Apple. Some Apple executives worry privately that expectations for the one-button phones may be too high and that first-generation buyers will end up disappointed.

(AAPL) unveiled its plans for the iPhone demonstrates several positives for the company, Goldman Sachs analyst David Bailey said in a research note.One of the most interesting pieces of information is that Apple ranked as the fourth most popular multimedia handset brand in the U.S., despite the lack of any iPhone announcement at the time.

How Steve Jobs played hardball in iPhone birth
Mr. Jobs flirted with other titans of the wireless industry but not everyone wanted to play ball. Talks with Verizon Wireless fell through. Mr. Sigman and other top Cingular executives were willing to cede control to Mr. Jobs and tolerate his digs at cellphone carriers, all for the privilege of being the exclusive U.S. provider of one of the most highly anticipated consumer electronics devices in years -- and to deny rivals a chance to do the same, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

Use iPhone to read books?
Okay, the following is mostly fantasy. But fantasy based on solid science. As we know it*. In addition to an exclusive deal with Cingular (’nother story, ‘nother day), the iPhone does stuff like surf the web, play media files, and make phone calls (a key feature in a phone). The iPhone also features a surprisingly large screen, and has the ability to automatically change the screen orientation when a user turns it sideways. At 3.5 inches it seems suspiciously perfect for reading.Our technology expert informs us that iPhone runs on Mac OSX (the same OSX that can generate and read PDF files at the drop of a hat) and can connect to the Internet using any standard WiFi network. As in, you can connect to your own or other open wireless networks, thereby bypassing Cingular’s expensive data transfer fees. You can freely roam the web using a special version of the Safari browser. Sure, it’s not our browser of choice, but let’s remember that when we’re talking about the future of the world, compromises must be made.

Apple to sell 12 million iPhones
A US-based technology business research firm has predicted that Apple will surpass its projected 10 million iPhones sold for 2008. However, many of the expected 12 million iPhones to be sold will cut into already slowing iPod sales and the price will be reduced from the premium level that Apple has placed on its yet to be released handset.

Apple moves to protect iPhone UI
It's been less than a week since the iPhone was announced and the product is not even expected to ship for another six months, but Apple is aggressively protecting its Mac OS X-like interface on the iPhone. A group of users has already developed a skin for Windows mobile that enables users to mimic the iPhone interface, but one website that posted screenshots and links to the hack has already been threatened by Apple and its legal team.

From iPhone to iGroan
A survey for Computing Which? Magazine reveals that half of British adults feel overwhelmed by new technology and struggle to understand new jargon.Although 71% of households in the UK have a personal computer, many adults have difficulty understanding the associated technical terms.
But for many adults like Mr Enfield it is not that they don't understand but that they choose not to be interested, when they feel like they are being told they should.

the ultimate iPhone Frequently Asked Questions list
Wow. Predictably, the torrent — and I do mean torrent — of iPhone commentary from the citizens of the Web is practically outflooding spam this week. Most of it comes from people whose shirt fronts are practically drenched in drool. Plenty is negative and bitter.Another huge category is iPhone questions. Never mind that many of these questions either (a) have been answered by Apple, either on its elaborate, interactive Web site or the free video of Steve Jobs’s speech, or (b) come from people who fantasize about fitting the iPhone into their own particular wish lists.
Oops! Apple sued over use of iPhone trademark
Apple ignored another company's trademark by using the name "iPhone" to describe the much-hyped new iPod-cum-mobile phone it launched this week. It now faces an expensive legal battle against Cisco Systems, the telecoms technology company, which launched legal proceedings for trademark infringement against Apple last night.

iPhone - now this is a revolutionary interface
This *has* to be the most lust-worthy device on the planet at the moment. I’d trade my Nokia N73 in a heartbeat for one of these.What’s so cool about it?
* it’s beautiful. When was the last time you saw a beautiful mobile UI? (I can hear you saying ‘never’ from here). The interface design is sexy. Lustworthy. Typical Apple.
* it’s gestural. There’s one button, a home button, and your fingers do all the rest of the work. Check out the ’slide to unlock’ in the image above. Forget millions of tiny buttons - you have the interface you need at the time to do the job you’re doing (because this puppy is a phone, an iPod and more!). Forget styluses - they’re a pain in the neck and get lost all the time. Fingers are the input device of the future.
* it’s aware. It has sensors that tells it whether you’re looking at in in portrait or landscape mode and it adjusts accordingly. It knows when you’re using it as a phone and shuts off the interface. How clever!
* It does all the work for you. Sometimes it’s the simple things that count. Having spent hours and hours configuring and setting up my new Nokia N73 to utilise all the stuff that’s installed on it and some of it’s capabilities. How much easier is the Apple approach where the device does all the work for you.
