Apple today announced the long awaited iPhone, a device that I predicted about years 1.5 ago that it would happen (I won't forget how a fellow editor from a Mac site emailed me to say that I am crazy after reading my blog back then). But the iPhone is real, and it's public information now. So based on the little we know about the device so far, let's see how it stacks up against its smartphone competition.

If it DOES end up having an SDK, I'd expect it just to be awesome even without using it as a phone. i.e. I think that it might make a nice little PDA IF it has decent battery life AND an open SDK.
As to being a phone: I HATE cell phones, and therefore would find it entirely useless as a phone. I'll read email and other text messages while moving, but phone calls?! No thanks.
