Amidst bucket loads of hype the iPhone has finally hit Australian shores. The iPhone is arguably the biggest news in mobile telecommunications technology in the past 10-15 years. As an initial skeptic, I'm yet to take the plunge, but I have to admit, the more I think about it, the more the iPhone makes sense.

There are two things I carry with me almost daily, my mobile phone and my iPod. Therefore it make perfect sense to package the two things together, to save me pocket room.

In case you've been living under a rock and don't know what the iPhone is all about, here's a quick and simple review taken from the Age.

"What you see with the iPhone 3G is what you get: a powerful, multi-featured, music and video-playing, internet- and email-capable mobile phone with a crappy camera."

My only concern is storage capacity. My iTunes collection is quite large, and I don't want to have to go through the heart ache of culling it just so I can have the convenience of phone/music/email in one unit. At the moment there are only 8 and 16GB models, which is a little underdone for my liking.

Even if the iPhone doesn't change the world, it's sure to create a surge of new cell phone accessories. When the iPhone is able to have its memory expanded, I think that is when I'll take the plunge. Until then, I'm happy to sit back and listen to what others have to say about it.
