"With 8 hours of talk time, and 24 hours of audio playback, iPhone's
battery life is longer than any other 'Smartphone' and even longer than
most MP3 players," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "We've also upgraded
iPhone's entire top surface from plastic to optical-quality glass for
superior scratch resistance and clarity. There has never been a phone like
iPhone, and we can't wait to get this truly magical product into the hands
of customers starting just 11 days from today."
iPhone introduces an entirely new user interface based on a
revolutionary multi-touch display and pioneering new software that allows
users to control iPhone with just a tap, flick or pinch of their fingers.

device -- a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod, and the Internet
in your pocket with best-ever applications on a mobile phone for email, web
browsing and maps. iPhone ushers in an era of software power and
sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, which completely
redefines what users can do on their mobile phones.
