Copy apple here, copy apple there....b.s. This is the natural evolution of the phone. what other design could there that takes full advantage of the size and has not keyboard? Anybody with 2 cents worth of brains could come up with an "apple iphone" design. what will make the iphone different is the software. trouble with apple is they are tooooooo slooooooow to bring out new product.
Off cuorse Apple takes long to lanch new product! They still sellling well the currently ipod. I've had zune, creative etc... But The Ipod even without a custom equilizer sounds better. So there is not a serious competition for apple. If there wer, I would have a 4" all though screen ipod video long time ago.
It became Iphone. I will wait for next gen. Iphone cause 3G suppport.
Ian Piper, it wasn't just obvious after the fact. I remember in school when I was bored and supposed to be paying attention, for some reason I liked to sketch up "prototypes" of different gadget designs: phones, mp3 players, etc. A device like the iPhone was one of them. Hmmm, a device that has nothing but a screen take up the whole front surface and is longer than it is wider to fit in the palm of your hand? Wow, that sure is a difficult idea to come up with.
Not knocking Aples innovation though, the real innovation is what's INSIDE the machine, not outside of it.

Funny how Apple's innovative designs are always obvious after the fact, isn't it?
