The iPhone has impressive wireless features this should definatly put one over the Microsoft Zune.
The only problem that can be seen at this time is its not available until the forth quarter 2007 in the UK, the americans get a better deal and it should be available in the states from June with a 2 year contract on the Cingular network.
The questions that come immediatly to mind is is the new iPhone locked to a network, if so how can it be unlocked.
