Apple's iPhone - mobile phone, browser, iPod and betting prop

 The "iPhone", Apple's new gadget, is the most anticipated tech-toy since Sony's Playstation 3.

Apple's iPhone - mobile phone, browser, iPod and betting prop It is questionable if people will line up in front of AT&T resellers the night before the release of the iPhone, carrying sleeping bags and refreshments. But if you visit Apple's website, you may get the feeling that the "Grey goo" theory could have some meat to it*.

 What is the iPhone? According to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), it's "revolutionary" everything.

 First, it's a mobile phone that allows you to make a call by simply tapping a name or number in your address book, a favorites list, or a call log. It also automatically syncs all your contacts from a PC, Mac, or Internet service. Not much different than a PDA in this section.

 The iPhone is also an iPod with a 3.5-inch display. You can watch movies, listen to music and anything else you could do with an iPod. And you will be able to browse the Internet with your new slick iPhone, using Safari as the web browser. YouTube was also recently added to the iPhone.

 One of the awesome features is the iPhone’s accelerometer. It detects when you rotate the device from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page or a photo in its proper landscape aspect ratio.

 When the buzz around Apple's new iPhone started, the only betting prop we had was on how would the release of the iPhone on June 29th would affect the Apple Inc. stock price on that day. But it didn't take long for the oddsmakers to publish a long list of new and exciting props on the iPhone.

 With the online betting website Bodog Sports, now you can "race the stocks" of Apple and AT&T - the odds on Apple Inc. to make the bigger percentage gain for the June 29th iPhone launch date are -120, but so are the odds on AT&T. More business betting props from the bookie:

*Grey goo refers to a hypothetical end-of-the-world scenario involving molecular nanotechnology in which out-of-control self-replicating robots consume all living matter on Earth while building more of themselves.
