Apple started the personal computer revolution in the 1980s, and has stayed a major player in technology ever since. Apple produced the iPod and watched it become a worldwide sensation. But Apple has never been able to establish itself as a player in making mobile phones- until now. The new cell phone made by Apple is now the most wanted mobile gadget in the world.

At the January 2007 MacWorld conference, Steve Jobs electrified the audience and the world with the announcement that the long-rumored Apple cell phone, dubbed the iPhone, was indeed in development. The iPod had already garnered widespread praise, and a large following. Folks were excited by the idea that Apple might do for the functional, but uninspiring cell phone design, what Apple did for portable music players with the iPod. The hype continued, and the rumors mounted, until the iPhone was finally released to the public on June 29, 2007. Consumers lined up for blocks outside Apple Stores in anticipation. By most accounts, the hype was in large measure justified as the iPhone has since garnered rave reviews from independent users and technology reviewers, while inspiring copycat designs from competitors. The iPhone, small enough to fit in a purse or large pocket, comes in three colors so far: white, black, and platinum. More colors and more features are no doubt in the iPhone's future.

The iPhone, by Apple is an amazing phone that has many more attributes than simple playing music and making phone calls. Using the iPhone, text messaging, watching visual media, taking pictures, surfing the internet, and even sending and receiving email is possible. Some people can hardly believe that such a small device can have so many uses, while others realize the amazing technology that is in their hands.

AT&T and Apple stores have had a monopoly on iPhone sales since they were introduced on June 29th. Only in late 2007 will the cell phone be available worldwide. Known for its ability to meet customer needs, it was not a surprise when Apple introduced its phone. Apple successfully leveraged its loyal fan base and innovative product development in introducing the iPhone to great success.
