The iPhone is finally on sale in the US today and half of Silicon Valley seems to be in the queue to get one.
Some reporters are giving the iPhone mixed reviews but in general it seems that it more than lives up to the hype.
Apple employees have received the best news as Steve Jobs is giving them all a free iPhone
Perhaps the best news for Europe and the worst news for the US is that Apple might announce a European 3G iPhone on Monday. That will make a few people think twice about paying $500 in the US.
Reviews of the iPhone by the New York Times and Wall Street Journal have been favourable, praising the quality of the large touchscreen for video, although the quality and speed of AT&T’s network has been questioned.
The Apple chief executive, Steve Jobs, this week told USA Today that moving into the mobile market would not change the company.
“We’ve got two strong legs on our chair today – we have the Mac business, which is a $10bn business, and music, our iPod and iTunes business, which is $10bn. We hope the iPhone is the third leg on our chair, and maybe one day Apple TV will be the fourth leg,” Mr Jobs said.

What’s the big deal? I have a MDA (T-Mobile)that basically does similar things as the iPhone and only costs $249.
I heard that iPhone can only be charged for 30 times and can only use AT&T’s SIM ?
Is it right ?
Boy, this is such a sweet looking phone, how can it not sell???
