iTWire iPhone feature

There is no doubt that the amazing iPhone has turned the world of mobile communications on its head since it was first announced in January 2007 by Steve Jobs at the Macworld expo. Since that time, more than 10 million iPhones have been sold around the world and a 3G version has hit the market to meet the needs of web surfers on the move. Of course, the majority of people still don't own an iPhone but those who do can be forgiven for asking: : "Why not?"

by Stan Beer
Now that the iPhone is out in the hands of real reviewers rather than the selected Apple friendlies who got previews prior to release, the real story is emerging.
