Cell Phone Reviews

The 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.
