I swear, when I bought my first iPod way back when, I turned to a friend and said "When they turn this thing into a phone, it's all over!" Granted the evolution of the iPod to the iPhone is a fairly obvious progression to imagine, but IMHO it's the attention to design detail on every level that sets this and everything Apple does above the rest.

Thoughtful, seamless integration between products has been Apple's holy grail in a market teeming with touted alternatives to any one of their innovations. What most other companies lack though, is the kind of foresight that Apple has used to close the gap between professional and recreational technology. Powerful computers and integrated peripherals that look as good as they perform. Ultimately Apple has turned technological geekdom into Rock n' Roll virility. Because, let's face it, above all else Apple's products are chic and sexy. And the iPhone looks to be no exception.

While I doubt I'll be standing in line overnight, hoping to be one of the first to get my hands on the little beauty, I'm sure there is an iPhone in my future. Probably in the next year or so when my current calling plan obligations are fulfilled. In the meantime I plan to Velcro my Razor to the back of my iPod so as not to feel left out.
