Apple unveils details of new iPhone
Apple has ended months of speculation by unveiling a mobile phone that offers music, internet access, email and a camera.
The iPhone will "reinvent" telecommunications, the technology giant's chief executive Steve Jobs promised.
It will go on sale in the US in June, priced from 499 dollars (just under £250), and should hit Europe late this year.
Just 11.6 millimetres thick, the handset has no conventional buttons but instead uses a large touch-screen.
"iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone," Mr Jobs said.
"We are all born with the ultimate pointing device - our fingers - and iPhone uses them to create the most revolutionary user interface since the mouse."
As well as functioning as a music and video iPod it offers new services such as "visual voicemail", which shows users a list of their messages so they can go straight to the ones they want to listen to most.
A full touch keyboard is available for text messaging and there is a built in a two megapixel camera.
The phone, which runs the Mac OS X operating system, will display album artwork on its 3.5in screen when it is being used for music. Special sensors automatically deactivate the screen and turn off the touch pad when the device is raised to the ear.
Mr Jobs, who offered a sneak preview of the iPhone as he gave his annual address to Mac fanatics at the Macworld Conference Expo in San Francisco, said it would "leapfrog" over harder-to-use devices which currently offer internet and email.

Well, your music and your contacts would also be inside your computer, so it doesn't really matter too much. You'll just be out of a phone and your trainers if a Chav decides he wants it.seckle wrote:i'm waiting to see reviews on battery life & phone use. if they can make this work it will change the map of phone design forever though. it'll be interestng to see what happens.
also, it would be a bit frightening if you lost the thing. both music and all your info plus contacts gone!
