In the latest episode of the UK smash hit Smartphones Show Steve Litchfield gets himself an Apple iPhone and compares it to the Nokia E61i and Sony Ericsson W950i. Who is the winner?

Interpret: Apple iPhone will boost consumer demand for mobile video
The iPhone is a wonder of a media player – being the first widescreen, multi-touch, video iPod.

Origin of the iPhone
Check this out – the very first iPhone. Of course the device on the image above was never released, but it’s interesting to note that it dates from 1983!

Stop paying for slow iPhone internet performance – get a phone-only iPhone plan for $40
Citing customer complaints about internet performance on AT&T somewhat pokey EDGE network, AT&T seems to be giving disgruntled users the option of a new data-free wireless calling plan for the Apple iPhone.
