Happy Birthday, iPhone

Yes, it is hard to believe, but our pal the iPhone will be 1 year old at 6 pm EST today. The iPhone has undergone many changes over the past year: from generating all the hype and buzz to being the best way to do everything on-the-go. The original iPhone sold at 6 p.m. (in each time zone across the US) at Apple and AT&T corporate stores for a retail price of $599 for the 8GB model and $499 for the now-discontinued 4GB model.

With Apple set to release the next generation iPhone on July 11th, we can only stop and look back at all the accomplishments Apple has achieved over the past year. The iPhone has definitely changed the way we look at smartphones.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

TOTALLY OFF TOPIC: Sorry to hijack this thread, but my iPhone suddenly stopped showing the Full Version of TUAW. Instead, TUAW is now rendered as a WAP-like list of posts with a link to "view the full version of" TUAW that does not work! Since there is no forum that I can query for a solution I am am reaching out to others who might have experienced this problem. Sorry. Any help on how to resolve is appreciated.

Wish we could be celebrating the same in Canada. Unfortunately Rogers (our carrier) didn't give us many reasons to celebrate.

EDT actually, not EST :)

Sorry to be picky, but it's a huge pet peeve of mine. Why not just say ET all the time and be universally correct?
