In March '06 another video was uploaded on video.google.com. The animation of an iPod with not only music capabilities but also a video player, a camera and a mobile phone all in one. Their creators called it iTalk.
Today iTalk is not only a video-animation, a mobile phone or a microphone for the iPod but now it is real and is called iPhone. This version by Apple Inc includes all those properties and many more applications: SMS, voiceMail, internet, calendar, maps and address book.
The iPhone even has built-in sensors that change automatically the contents of the display from portrait to landscape when moving the device sideways. It has also a light sensor, this automatically adjusts the display’s brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light. The screen saves power automatically turning itself off if you lift the iPhone to your ear also preventing inadvertent touches until it is moved away. Everything is controlled by a multi-touch screen display. That's cool!!!
Great job Steve! (pun) If you want to find more I suggest to visit iPhone or Apple.com
As Oscar commented, Cisco has sued Apple for Trademark Infringement. We will have to wait and see if Apple changes iPhone's name or Cisco gives in.
