Apple today announced a new device that will be on all geek wish lists immediately- the iPhone. I followed the Steve Jobs MacWorld keynote address. Apple has also changed their corporate name to Apple, Inc. since their product line includes so much more than just computers. Here is a blurb from the Apple, Inc. site:

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.

And some technical specs:
