Andy Ihnatko of the Chicago Sun got to spend about 45 minutes using the new Apple iPhone and reports back that that he really, really liked it. His review has several superlatives and many positive comments such as “perfect”, “simplest phone” and “most beautiful display”.
He confirms some details, such as 3rd party apps will not be allowed on the iPhone, and provides a bit of new info such as the device will run a sub-set of Leopard, Apple’s new OS.
There seems to be somewhat of a social epidemic of positive comments about the device going around at the moment, and just in time to prevent the iPhone from slipping into hubris, we thankfully find some nemesis comments courtesy of Steve Ballmer…in an interview with Information Week, Mr Ballmer was kind enough to share his opinions of the iPhone with us, viz: “Many other vendors are doing similar things for less” and to remind us of the phone’s high price tag and its lack of a keyboard.

I’d love to spend 45 minutes with the iPhone 5 right now. What happens when the 45 minutes are up, though? Apple security guards tear the phone from your hands?
ha, I bet that’s what happened, TopDog. If Apple said 45 mins, I’m sure the time didn’t extend 1 second past 45 mins.
