I was following the live updates on <a href=\"\/%22http:\/\/www.engadget.com%22\">Engadget<\/a>, and it really does seem impressive.

I love Verizon, which is why I won&#8217;t switch, but they have the worst phones.  And here again Apple is choosing just one carrier, but I doubt this will garner Cingular legions of new clients, what with that lovely price tag.<br \/>\nThen again it is income tax season.  How many people would actually be able to save $600 plus for something that shiny?  It&#8217;s quite a wait.<br \/>\nFor a mockup of the iPhone, its measurments, and how it compares to other gadgets, check out <a href=\"\/%22http:\/\/www.kottke.org\/07\/01\/the-apple-iphone%22\">Kottke<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple&#8217;s iPhone.
