Early iPhone thoughts

By now you've all heard about it at least: Apple's introduced the iPhone, shipping in June, tied to Cingular. No doubt the price will change given time. Not really concerned about the 2.0 mpx camera.

Pros:


  • Runs OS X
  • 160 ppi screen
  • One button
  • Safari browser
  • Proximity and ambient light sensors, accerlerometer
  • Elegant touch interface
  • Nice use of widgets

Cons:

  • No way to add additional memory
  • No removable battery
  • No wifi sync for iTunes
  • No purchasing from iTunes store from phone
  • No GPS

Other thoughts: Will there be an iPod version of this soon? That is, a version with the phone stuff stripped out, maintaining the screen and music/video/photo interface? That'd be sweet.

No, I'm not getting one. At least not for some time now.
