Tech: iPhone

It never fails - a week after getting my new cell phone and signing a 2 year contract, they announce the iPhone. It certainly looks like it could be a hit, although I'm not sure how well the 100% touch screen will work, seems like it would be subject to damage and scratches. Still, a very cool integration concept with links to Google maps, digital photos, MP3s, and everything else under the Apple sun.

Then again, I doubt I could justify the $500 price of the iPhone versus the phone I got for free after rebate from Amazon/Cingular. And mine already has a 4GB MP3 player in it, with a smaller form factor. Do I really want to carry around such a large rectangular cell phone, even if it does have a picture of a clown fish in a sea anemone on the front of it?
