Default Apple iPhone

Have you heard of this,the new Apple iPhone? this cell phone has an 8 GB capacity. According to David Pogue of the New York Times, who's been using the said phone for weeks,was besieged with questions about it. And unlike the masses,Pogue has answers. Among the highlights from Pogue's FAQ:
You can't use the iPhone with gloves or a stylus of any sort, only skin. (Sorry, robots!)

You can't use another SIM card beside the one that comes with the device. However, I'm sure this will be the first thing hackers start messing with, so stay tuned.
Again, a two-year AT&T contract is required. Required. It won't even work as an iPod without one.

No custom ring tones!
Using your own headphones is tricky due to weird design on the headphone jack. Adapters are available.
The only Bluetooth support is with a headset, not a PC or other devices.
You can't use the iPhone as a wireless modem, though I can't imagine you would need to. That's the whole point.

You can make calls and browse the internet via Wi-Fi at the same time.
Bookmarks don't sync with Firefox.
The iPhone really is as fast as it seems in the commercials... as long as you're on a Wi-Fi connection.
The camera has no flash, no zoom, and no self-portrait mirror.
Man, that's a lot of things that don't really thrill me and only a couple that do (OK, only one). But that's the Apple way: Ship the basic model first, then add features later (or let third-party developers do it with hardware add-ons).
