One of the hottest selling gadgets in the last year has been the Apple iPhone. Announced in January of 2007 and making its consumer release six months later, the iPhone is the latest generation of multimedia mobile phone devices. It's like a phone, laptop and iPod in one device.

Among the many features the sleek iPhone offers include voice communication, internet connectivity, email, web accessibility and a much, much more all in a touch-screen navigation setup. The phone comes in a storage sizes of 4gb, 8gb and 16gb of flash memory.

The iPhone also meshes with Apple's popular iTunes music platform, and it's easily configurable for podcasts and audiobooks.

Texting is a breeze thanks to the virtual touchpad keyboard and the standard Safari browser is great for the web junkies, who can surf the internet with full images and display capabilities as the web is meant to be viewed. The full pages do not fit entirely on the phone, but with a click you can zoom in on the spot of your choice.

Prices range from a few hundred bucks to into the thousands for the iPhone, but bargains and discounts on locked and unlocked, new and used iPhones can be had from places like eBay.
