Apple® today announced that iPhone™ will deliver significantly longer battery life when it ships on June 29 than was originally estimated when iPhone was unveiled in January. iPhone will feature up to 8 hours of talk time, 6 hours of Internet use, 7 hours of video playback or 24 hours of audio playback.* In addition, iPhone will feature up to 250 hours—more than 10 days—of standby time. Apple also announced that the entire top surface of iPhone, including its stunning 3.5-inch display, has been upgraded from plastic to optical-quality glass to achieve a superior level of scratch resistance and optical clarity.

“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. iPhone combines three products into one small and lightweight handheld 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.

The competitive data chart makes the iphone look like the must have for 2007

full article and chart
I love how the competitve chart (http://images.apple.com/pr/library/2007/...chart2.jpg) makes it seem like it's better in every category. In reality land, they just left out any comparisions that the other smartphones would beat them at. They didn't compare to any smartphones/PDAs in their price range either Toungue

I can make my own chart that has the iPhone out in every category...

3G - Nope
Qwerty Keypad - Nope
Plays for Sure Compatibility - Nope
Third Party Software - Nope
Removable Battery - Nope
Over the Air Music Downloads - Nope
Wireless Sync - Nope
Office and Exchange Support - Nope
MediaNet, MobiTV, Cellular Video - Nope
IM Client - Nope
GPS capabilities (integrated or via bluetooth) - Nope
Expensive - Yep
it did look a little too good to be true, but it was a nice chart Smile
What about the fact that it uses Cingular? Isn't that a drawback in and of itself? Already stories are coming in about unhelpful AT&T staff. People having enormous troubles trying to activate their iphone.
Haha even my phone has 3G. Why didn't they put it in as default?
