iPhone email arrives

By Erica Sadun

If you signed up over at Apple for iPhone announcements, you might want to check your email. Apple just sent out a mass mailing about the June 29th iPhone release. (AT&T sent out a nearly identical letter a few minutes later.) In the message, Apple suggests you start getting ready by updating your address book with your contacts (they'll sync to your iPhone and you can use them to place your calls and send email), by bringing your iCal calendar up to date, by setting up your iTunes playlists (remember, the iPhone only has 4 or 8 GB of space so playlists, especially smart ones, are totally the way you'll want to go) and by signing up for a Yahoo! or Gmail account.

As a final note, your iPhone will require an iTunes Store account. Your iPod doesn't require this, but your iPhone does. Another thing that makes TUAW go hmmm and our Mexican and Canadian readers roll their eyes in disgust.

Thanks to everyone who wrote in
