Apple iPhone shopping
Apple's hugely anticipated iPhone is finally a reality. As expected, it makes calls and supports a digital-music player that syncs with iTunes. The thin design is dominated by a vivid touch screen that showcases videos and photos beautifully. You'll also note a lack of buttons and controls as all menu navigation and data entry from typing messages to dialing phone numbers is done on the touch screen. Other features include quad-band world phone support, a 2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth, a speakerphone, e-mail and a Safari Web browser. Memory caps out at 8MB and there's no 3G support or wireless downloads, but the iPhone will garner interest simply because it exists. It's available June 29, exclusively from AT&T, for $499 or $599 depending on the memory size.

Learn about the iPhone
The Apple iPhone is three devices in one: a cell phone, a wide-screen iPod with touch controls, and an Internet communications device. AT&T (formerly Cingular) is the lucky carrier in the United States.
Both Apple and AT&T stores started selling the iPhone on June 29. Europe will get it in the fourth quarter, and Asia will have to wait until next year. The 4GB iPhone costs $499 with a two-year contract and $599 for the 8GB version (also with a two-year contract).
As usual with Apple gear, the iPhone breaks some design boundaries. Say goodbye to traditional cell phone buttons; the iPhone is all touch screen, all the time. With only one hardware control (a Home key), iPhone's real estate is dominated by a huge, 3.5-inch display. Inside you'll find an iPod music and video player, a full Safari Web browser, a 2-megapixel camera and integrated support for Google Maps. And yes, it makes calls too.
