Well, it’s happened at long last: Apple has announced its long-awaited cell-phone/video iPod/internet device, and the buzz has been huge. But is this new-fangled piece of technology the new revolution in communications Steve Jobs has so eloquently claimed?

Here is an interesting article rebutting the iPhone chatter of this past week, in which the point is made, with which I agree, that while the interface is divine, there are many aspects of this device that are all-too down-to-earth. Nevertheless, I think Steve Jobs and pals have made a great step forward, though even if I had the money, I would not be in line at the Cingular store come the iPhone’s ship date this coming June.
