Time Proclaims Iphone As The Top Gadget Of 2007
By Corey T Bruhn

Apple definitely made waves last year with the debut of the iPhone and the iPod Touch. Times Magazine called the iPhone the “Top Gadget of 2007″ saying that the device had radically transformed the way people view mobile media devices in terms of appearance, feel, and performance.

Time Magazine describes the iPhone as “exceptional inside and out: It’s got a slick glass-and-stainless steel case and an elegant touch screen loaded with eye candy. It’s an iPod and a 2-megapixel camera.” The Times continued on to describe how images and video can display differently in vertical and horizontal modes as well as its capability for detecting wireless networks within range.

In other ratings conducted by the 2007 PC Magazine Readers’ Survey, the Apple iPhone received a “stunning 9.1 out of 10″ rating from every user, according to Sascha Segan and Eric Griffith of PC Magazine, far surpassing any other carrier and cell phone device.

In fact, the response was not just limited to the music and video playback as expected (score of 9.6) but also 8.2 for call quality, 8.2 for coverage, and 8.0 for earpiece volume, significantly above average and clearly showing that iPhone users not only love the multimedia capacities of their iPhones, but also the cell phone capabilities as well.

The iPhone has received tremendous attention not only at home but also abroad. Debuting in U.K. stores right before the holidays, the Apple iPhone got the attention of a top rock and rock band, with fans queuing up at stores overnight to be one of the first customers when stores opened the next morning with the new product, according to Rory Cellan-Jones of the BBC News. Selling at more than 1,300 stores, the iPhone has received sweeping approval from British customers who did not mind waiting at times as long as 26 hours to purchase the product.

In France, the iPhone apparently has been selling “like crepe suzettes” where 17% of stores sold out within just 21 hours of launching the product. As Philip Elmer-DeWitt of Fortune magazine reports,” France Telecom announced that it sold nearly 30,000 iPhones in the first five days, 48 percent of them to new customers. That’s nearly one iPhone for every 2,000 Frenchmen.”
