iPhone features--some we knew about, others we didn't.

• A new iPhone video demos some new features.

• Apple Stores will host iPhone premieres from 6 p.m. to 12 midnight on the night of the phone's release, Friday, June 29.

• Look at the people standing in line at the New York Apple store!

• CNET's Will Greenwald looks at what you can get for the price of an iPhone. Think digital cameras and DVRs.

Great Phone but a 'tad' pricey
by Pks29733 June 30, 2007 8:31 AM PDT
I will buy a 'I Phone' but will wait. It's great, techy and a wonderful design. It's only drawback is it's price!! I currently own a Motorola 'Razr' but I didn't buy it when it first came out at $499.00. I waited a year and paid $49.00 after reabates. Hopefully in a year the price will become more 'realistic'. I want to buy a phone for the price of a phone v.s. the cost a laptop computer bought at a sale price. Again, I want one but not at those prices!!!
