Oh, iPhone, how I desire you. While I was distantly intrigued when first I heard rumors of the iPhone's future launch last fall, I have had to have this phone since seeing photos over the internet in January.

The iPhone is a mobile phone that, like any good smartphone, does everything you could possibly need done while mobile, and does it with a touch screen instead of buttons (score two cool points, and one usefulness point). While no one but the hand models in the TV ads know exactly how easy to use this will end up being, let's recall that Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) does have a reputation for being more user-friendly than anyone else. Hence its ever-rocketing stock price.
