A closer look at the iPhone

Apple's iPhone has certainly stirred up some interest. On the face of it it does no more than my Sony Ericsson W810i: internet access; photo album; MP3 player; syncronising contacts; etc., but the iPhone certainly does it with more style. I love how you can scroll through your contact list with a flick, how you can re-size pictures with a pinch and the album cover selection mode is stunning.
