Apple's Steve Jobs dropped some huge news at his keynote speech at the annual Macworld Expo today. The much-discussed and anticiapted Apple iPhone is here!

The mobile phone will, according to Jobs, combine three breakthroughs in communications: Computers, cell-phones and internet communicators. CIngular is the U.S. partner.

The phone will run Mac OS X and is, according to Jobs, ahead of everything other phone out there.

According to Jobs, the iPhone will be easy to use, smart and well-designed. It will not have a keyboard, but will features a stylus-free, patented "multi-finger" touchscreen interface. (Sounds pretty cool... but will it be intuitive enough?)

iPhone has a 160 pixels per inch screen. It connects with your iPod, and syncs with iTunes to shows video and pictures and play MP3s. Allows real-times scrolling of music either stored on the phone or through connected iPod.

Here's some real sci-fi crap:

  • Contains motion-sensors to detect orientation. So if you hold it sideways, the display will flip to accomdate you.
  • Automatically senses when you put it to your ear and turns off sound and picture.
  • Senses ambient light levels and adjusts display to optimum quality.

 It's only 11mm wide, too. Okay, it worked. I want one.

The 8gig model retails for $599 and the 4Gig for $499. It drops in June.
