Apple iPhone
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007The highly anticipated iPhone is Apple’s first direct effort to enter the cell phone market. Does that mean that the iPhone 2 should be out in about 3 months? Hard to say. The only thing we know for sure is that the iPhone is a gadget lover’s dream. While the individual features are not revolutionary (a cell phone, an Ipod and an Internet browser), Apple manages to do what they do best - put it all in a sleek attractive package.

The Samsung UpStage has a unique “dual face” design. One side it is a phone with bluetooth wireless technology and a 1.3 megapixel camera. On the other side, it’s a music player with touch-sensitive media controls and a stereo speaker. Essentially, it is a dedicated phone and a dedicated music player in one. It supports Micro SD memory cards up to 2GB in size, but only 64 MB is included with the packages we reviewed. You’ll definitely need more than that.
The down side? Staple sized keys make finger nail dialing essential.
