Iphone -- part cell phone part brain...

So, the Apple iPhone comes out at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 29, and the tech blogs are atwitter with info about the all-in-one super gizmo. Some blogs suggest that the hype might be more than the outcome, thanks to the iPhone's $499 and $599 price tag. (Kind of reminds me of the hype vs. performance of the PlayStation 3 this past Christmas).

No doubt, the iPhone sounds sweet. It's a cell phone, iPod, Web browser and crackberry rolled into one. So, if you're willing to drop $500 or $600 on an apparatus that does everything but cook you breakfast, you'll be interested in the latest iPhone news. AT&T, the only company that will give the iPhone any phone service, released what the monthly rates will be.

So, $500 phone. $36 activiation fee. $60 to $100 per month cell phone bill.

What do you think? Is the iPhone worth it? Anyone going to be buying one?

Of course the iPhone is worth the money ... if you don't already own a cell phone, a pda, and an MP3 player! I like where the technology is going, but let's be realistic, this is the socialite's new toy.
