iPhone: The facts

And there's no denying the hardware is stunning. The iPhone is only 12mm thick, making it 2mm thinner than the svelte HTC Touch. But most important is the software - the Touch proves that gorgeous hardware isn't the sole domain of Apple, but Apple has proved, once and for all, that touchscreen technology requires specifically-designed software, not a layer of touch software overlying an interface designed for either a keyboard or mouse or the Touch.
The iPhone simply cannot hope to live up to the huge amount of hype whipped up by legions of Apple fans, but such positive initial reviews, by the time it hits the UK (the first quarter of next year is as committal as Apple will be), it should have no problem matching most of it.
