iPhone: A Guided Tour


The iPhone comes out on June 29th, one week from today.  Apple has just released a 25-minute video explaining many more of the features of the phone.  I just watched it and must say I am extremely impressed!  The integration of such features as e-mail, YouTube, the photo album, Google Maps, etc. is fantastic.  Another bonus are the included headphones that also function as a hands-free headset for the phone.

In this video, Apple just announced that the iPhone can read Word, Excel, and PDF attachments to e-mail.  Similarly, Apple recently announced you can also watch YouTube videos on it.  Releasing information about these capabilities a week before launch is superbly brilliant marketing.

If the iPhone is as good as it looks in this video, it won't be long before this grad student buys one.  (Maybe in celebration of finishing my field exams/starting law school at the end of the summer?)
