iPod to iPhone

Some tech pundits are calling the phone that Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled with much fanfare this week an iPod with phone features. It definitely doesn't look like a phone (here's Apple's photo). To me, the killer app is a phone that combines the iPhone's next-generation Web viewing, Blackberry-like email access, and all the features of the latest cellphones on the market. This looks to be close, but the New York Times's David Pogue, who got to play with it for about an hour while talking with Jobs, blogs that "heavy BlackBerry addicts may not want to jump ship just yet." He liked a lot of things about it, though, especially the way it handles the Web. Here are details at CNET. As for the iPod, CNN reports that the iPod may turn out to be a videogame player too, at least gamemaker Electronic Arts is banking on it.
