The new iPhone was introduced today. They’re not selling yet though.

But they are phenomenal. Just like Apple usually does, user-interface, easy controls, and sleek design were all incorporated into this product that many experts hail as a breakthrough in technology and the way we handle our business.

Take a look for yourself.

Things I like about it :

1. It’s all touch screen, which makes the navigation so much easier. The conventional phones we have need to point towards the buttons each time telling us what they do.
2. The design is superb. It looks sleek, cool, sexy, slim.. yeah. LOOK AT IT.
3. It has its own motion-detector, so that when you turn your phone sideways, the screen automatically adjusts.
4. It has a very organic zoom-in zoom-out function for photo viewing. It’s phenomenal to say the least.
5. From the demo I can see from the www.apple.com/iphone/ site, it has a easy navigation system to get from phones, emails, documents, etc.
6. It has a full browser in it to allow you to view HTML files so darn well. Perhaps the whole mobile-phone format of web-design was obsolete after all? It can do just as well as a computer, or almost!
7. It has 5 hours of talk time. That’s right. My conventional cell phone from Motorola, which doesn’t do much but let me talk and send text msgs, has less than 3 hours of talk time.

Things I DISLIKE about it :

It made the stocks of competitors such as RIM, Treo, etc. drop quite a bit the other day. My mutual funds hold some of those companies, as far as I know… Or maybe my portfolio dropped because the TSX dropped anyhow that day. Whatever. That’s all I can say.
