iPhone Comes Out, World Stops

Kevin Maney writes: Perhaps the new iPhone is actually a magical touchstone that brings health, happiness and, no doubt, sex to all who own one. Which is about the only explanation I can think of for the lines at iPhone stores and stop-the-world attention it's getting.

OK, the iPhone 3G is cool and fun. I get that. It's also not perfect. The major reviewers like it with some caveats. Kudos to Apple for making people think they HAVE to have one NOW. But...I'll get in line when the thing can bring world peace.

In the meantime, there are and have been lots of gadgets out there. Next to this story on the iPhone is the Gadget Death-Match poll where you can vote on which gadget is best.
