The iPhone

You walk into a Starbucks and you hear a good song playing. You take out your iPhone and tap the iTunes music store button. You see what the song is, and whom it is by. You decide you like it, so you buy it wirelessly for $.99.
These are some of the things that you can do with the now $399 (for 8 gig.) iPhone. Starbucks has recently teamed up with Apple in the way that I have just explained to you-when you walk into (most) Starbucks with wi-fi internet, you can preview or purchase the song playing, and the songs previously played. In the Starbucks, you can also browse the internet with your iPhone using their wireless network, rather than the slower Edge network.
When you are browsing the internet, listening to music and drinking your coffee, you receive a call. To answer, you simply pinch a small button (about the size of 1/4 of a stick of gum) that stops your music and answers your call.
You can find all this, and more in a sleek, silver, fun-to use product.
