All jokes aside, I finally got to play with an iPhone at the main Chicago Apple store two days after it launched. There were a boatload of people doing likewise and I had to shoulder surf before I got a chance to actually use one myself. First thoughts: the screen is huge and displays picture and movies well. The browser does a great job of displaying web pages, especially Google Maps and it is very easy to manipulate the content using your fingers on the touch screen. I really like the "squeezing" of your thumb and index finger to expand and reduce picture sizes. The auto sensing portrait/landscape mode didn't seem to work in either video or web mode, but worked well (albeit slowly) when viewing photos. All-in-all I was very impressed. I'm still waiting for v2 and another provider than AT&T. Also the price has to come down and the memory capacity needs to increase.
