The iPhone is out and about, and everyone waiting in line for hours/days got one (including Woz, and the mayor of Philadelphia who apparently had nothing better to do). Unboxing pictures

manual, and one of the best-designed iPhone web apps can be found here: the
iPhoneAppsManager (requires a Safari/Webkit browser to work).

"Well we will see about it when iphone comes to europe , i heard mms isnt widely used in USA"
Here in Germany, the mobile phone market is primarily targetted at youths from 10 years up. To them, the iPhone might look appealing, allthough it's too big (for their little fingers) and too expensive (for their parents). MMS is widely used to interchange video clips (especially on schoolyards where the clips show sex and violence). You think I've not got a very positive opinion about youths and mobile phones in Germany? You're right.
To commercial users, the iPhone might be interesting because it covers many important functionalities into a handy interface (form factor and GUI), so there might be a market.
I'm very excited how the iPhone starts selling in Germany. Will people sleep infront of the stores in order to get one? Or will it just reside in a niche of the shop (such as Apple computers sadly do) or will everyone want to have one?
By the way, mobile phones are called "Handy" in Germany. Have you got a Handy? No, my Handy is ringing! :-)
