Market. Inspiring and provocative, the iPhone will always come to mind when a handset with full touch-based user interface is in question.
Apple is a company which specializes in developing products on the verge of science fiction. The iPod is a perfect example. Around 2001 the company decided to change portable music players as we know them, and pretty much succeeded. Much like the iPhone, the announcement of iPod generated huge amounts of hype and when it came out in October 2001 it actually lived up to almost every promise, turning out to be a total smash. As it developed, throughout the years, Apple's portable music player became the most popular mobile multimedia device and its reputation never seems to fade.
Following the same credo of being a feature-rich, yet simple-to-use device, the iPhone will undoubtedly build a strong fan base. It will surely attract the many "if-it-ain't-shinin'-I-ain't-buyin'" customers, since the iPhone is definitely among the most beautifully crafted mobile phones we've seen.
It will be a while before we get a hands-on with the European version of the iPhone. Apple recently confirmed that the device is due to hit the European market in December 2007. We'd love to see the device for real but we'll have to wait until then. Right now, the iPhone simply cannot be used in Europe. No unlocking methods are known and the only way to actually have one over to the Old Continent is by using it in roaming with the special AT&T SIM card or by resorting to using it as an Wi-Fi enabled iPod with no SIM card inserted (AT&T subscriber activation is still needed in this case). The second option practically means that someone still has to sign a 2-year contract with AT&T and that would make it the most expensive iPod yet.
