78994
A few dozen people waited in line since early afternoon outside an AT&T store in Columbus, Indiana. At a few minutes past six o'clock, twelve were let in at a time, and in only a half hour's time, everyone in line plus at least ten others walked out with an iPhone and accessories. There were no hitches, and plenty of smiling faces. So why isn't it like this everywhere else in the country?

LOS ANGELES  - Apple's marketing machine has done it again. While the biggest names in tech were in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show in January showing off new gadgets and gizmos, Apple gambled it could extract attention in San Francisco for a sneak-peek debut of the iPhone, the combination music player/cellphone and Internet device.

(InfoWorld) - The iPhone has arrived, but not from Apple Computer. Linksys, a division of Cisco Systems, introduced two VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) handsets adding to five others the company already offers. The group of phones is now part of a Linksys family of products called iPhone. The Linksys iPhones aren't quite what some people may have been expecting.Â Apple is rumored to be working onÂ a combined cell phone and digital music player and the mythical device has been dubbed the iPhone, after the popular iPod digital music player, by Apple enthusiasts. Linksys' newest iPhones include the CIT400, a cordless phone with a base station that attaches directly via Ethernet to a network and comes preloaded with VOIP software from eBay's Skype Internet telephony service. The phone allows users to make and receive Skype calls without having to turn on and use their computers. The WIP320 also comes loaded with Skype software and is compatible with Wi-Fi so that users can make and receive calls on the phone from anywhere they can connect to a wireless access point. Users can check their Skype contact list on the phones to see if someone they want to call is available. The devices support SkypeOut and SkypeIn, the services that allow users to make and receive calls with landline phones for a fee. The WIP320 costs $199.99 and the CIT400 retails for $179.99. Both are available in North America and are expected to become available in Europe, Asia and Latin America during the first quarter next year. If Apple is indeed developing a combined mobile phone and music player, fans will have to adjust their expectations that the device will likely not be called an iPhone. According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Cisco holds the registration for the "iPhone" trademark.

âApple has succeeded in crafting a unique phone that is superior [to] everything else on the market,â remarks Stuff.tv. âIn one great leap Apple has rewritten the rules for mobile web browsing, invented a completely new touch-sensitive interface, and evolved the iPod. In the hand, the iPhone oozes sexiness; its wide, high-resolution screen is encircled by a halo of chrome and wrapped on its back side by cool brushed metal. When you hold it, itâs thinner and lighter than pictures would suggest: it feels like you are holding the future.â And Stuff.tv awarded iPhone a five star rating.

âThe best recent advance in the mobile telecommunications user space came not from a mobile telecom company but from Apple Inc. â the iPhone.â  That, according to David Benjamin (EE Times) was the conclusion reached by a âblue-ribbon panel of human behavior and technology experts at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.â And, Benjamin points out, âAnup Murarka, director of technical marketing for Adobe, cited a study showing that 77 percent of iPhone purchasers described themselves as âvery satisfiedâ with their user experience.â

BURLINGTON, Vt. - There&#39;s a digital ax hanging over John Canning&#39;s head, but he doesn&#39;t much care. He&#39;s too busy surfing the Internet, perusing his e-mail, compiling driving directions and keeping track of the stock market - all on what amounts to a portable computer he cradles in the palm of his hand: his iPhone.
