Apple iPhone - what’s the fuss?

I’m sorry, I may not have been paying attention, but why is the Apple iPhone such a big deal?

Yes it does email, and lets you browse the web and take pictures, but so do most phones. OK it’s in a sexy Apple designed case, and has a natty user interface, but there are many other damned sexy phones out there too.

It now seems even the OS is being kept under wraps - if you want to put an app on the phone develop it as a web app - much as you would with any other phone.

So what’s the big deal?
