how so?
you've got your cell phone coverage (quad band 850, 900, 1800, 1900) and you've got your VOIP application that may or may not be proprietary (no annoucements this is all speculative but since it's got wifi, VOIP would be a no-brainer). Quality of audio for cell phone use will depend on how well apple builds it's phone and quality of VOIP would depend on the program. Seperate entities. Anyway, here's the specs. Technical Specifications Screen size 3.5 inches Screen resolution 320 by 480 at 160 ppi Input method Multi-touch Operating system OS X Storage 4GB or 8GB GSM Quad-band (MHz: 850, 900, 1800, 1900) Wireless data Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) + EDGE + Bluetooth 2.0 Camera 2.0 megapixels Battery * Up to 5 hours Talk / Video / Browsing * Up to 16 hours Audio playback Dimensions 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.46 inches / 115 x 61 x 11.6mm Weight 4.8 ounces / 135 grams Last edited by dj_soo; Jan 09, 07 at 02:02 PM. |

10:40am - Phil wants photos to use as his screen saver, one of the phones from Hawaii. Go figure! Steve is emailing the photo -- shrinks, compose window pops up (he's still on the phone with Phil, mind you), and he sends it. He ends the call, and the music pops right back up, no pauses, no fuss. Uproarious applause. 10:41am - "Today Apple is reinventing the phone. How does this stack up? Let's look at the competition..." Treo, BB, E62, Q... comparing mail, contacts, calendars, web... "Let's see the web, we tried to make it look as good as we could. And this is what you get." Comparing music... "After today, I don't think anyone's going to look at these phones the same way agaoin." 10:42am - Accessories: stereo headphones with a tiny dongle, mic and a switch. Push it together to answer or hang up on a call. Bluetooth accessory: headset, black and thin "incredibly small" one button on the top, automatically pairs, "It's really simple." "It's the coolest one we've ever seen." Battery life: "A lot of these phones have low battery life. We've managed to get 5 hours of battery of talk time, video, and browsing. 16 hours of audio playback." http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/l...-jobs-keynote/ |

It's a smart phone. Every smartphone worth it's weight has mp3 playback, video playback, internet access, etc.
The big selling point for me would be the fact that the UI is designed by Apple and it uses OSX. Granted, my guess is the thing will be around $800 USD. |
