I don’t think you have to be an Apple fanboy to appreciate the new Iphone<\/a> that Steve Jobs announced Tuesday at MacWorld. But it doesn’t hurt, does it? Just look at the thing…<\/p>\n

Heck, even Matthew Ingram<\/a> (not the biggest Apple fan in the world) wants one.<\/p>\n

I’m in the market for a new phone and I’ve been thinking about getting a smart phone, like my wife’s Treo. But I decided to hold off, just in case all the hype about the new Apple phone turned out to be true.<\/p>\n

Now it looks like waiting was a good idea. If you haven’t seen this new wonder, or want to know a bit more about it, check out the details on the Apple site.<\/p>\n

Or you can follow some of the action in the blogosphere, using Technorati. Here’s the results of a search<\/a> for the Iphone tag in blog posts. But be prepared…the count right now is 2788 posts in English (and rising every minute, it seems.)<\/p>\n

The world seems impressed, so far. The stock market gave Apple’s shares<\/a> a big boost, while punishing other cell phone makers, who are expected to be forced to redesign their current offerings just to catch up.<\/p>\n

Apple has a history (as Steve Jobs told us in his keynote on Tuesday<\/a>) of coming up with products that redefine an entire sector, like the original Mac and the Ipod. Looks like they might have done it again with this gadget.<\/p>\n

One downer note about all this. It’ll probably be months – or years – before we are able to get one in Canada. But hey, I’m not that far from Washington State…maybe I can just catch a ferry…<\/p>\n
