Steve Jobbs of Apple unveiled the highly anticipated iPhone at its famed Macworld Tuesday.

The iPhone will come in 4GB and 8GB models for a very steep price: $500 and $600 respectively. It will almost be worth the price though, for non-thrifty tech enthusiasts anyways. The device will run the standard Apple operating system OSX, therefore, allowing it to pretty much have the capabilities of a standard computer. It also contains a 2 mega pixel camera, Wi-Fi internet support, and an attractive standard QWERTY virtual keyboard.

As expected, the iPhone is targeting non-music capable smart phones like the infamous Blackaberry and Treo. This phone could kick some major ass on competitors since its target audience has the money, loves Apple’s ease of use and features, and (I’m assuming) probably likes music.

If I was going to get a Smartphone, I’d definitely look at an iPhone because of its music capabilities. However, I wouldn’t shell out the big bucks right away since there will undoubtedly be problems when it is finally released in June 2007. So if I win the lottery before the second generation smartphones come out, I’ll give you a review on them.
