Apple iPhone announced at Macworld

January 9th, 2007

After months (perhaps years!) of speculation Steve Jobs finally and officially announced the Apple iPhone during his speech at
Macworld.



Apple iPhone

"iPhone combines three products � a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching � into one
small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of
software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone."
