Review: Apple IPhone Rocks, Rolls, and Doesn't Disappoint

Apple's mobile has finally stepped off web pages into the sweating palms of fanboys across the pond. According to the FT, the long queues of people waiting to buy an iPhone (or 10) included a fair few 'hustlers and entrepreneurs' - but plenty of real fans too. Wired, meanwhile, says the phone "for the most part, lives up to its inflated expectations" - calling it a "genre-bender" owing to the many functions it performs. The NY Times reports that Asian mobile makers fear they have underestimated the threat Apple now poses, quoting an analyst who says the iPhone "is the prototype of the future of mobile phones".
