The iPhone is getting more press coverage than, well, a thing that gets a lot of press coverage. Here's a sampling from around the mainstream...Apple packs all kinds of high-tech goodies into iPhone (USATODAY)

I don't know if it will revolutionize the mobile phone, but it's certainly providing a legion of reporters with something to write about.
Meanwhile, back in the land of every other portable device company whos name doesn't start with "A", SanDisk announced a slick new line up the other day that has been completely overshadowed by Apple's new toy.
"The player, which Sandisk say will hold 33 video hours or 2,000 songs, boasts a 4-inch screen similar in size to Apple's video iPod and comes with 8 megabytes of flash memory."
I'd wish for more storage, but it's definitely a step in the right direction for SanDisk. That SanDisk has managed to stave off the Zune and hold two spots in the top 10 devices is impressive, and if they keep making sharp devices at reasonable price-points, I think you'll start seeing more Sansa devices in the wild than you might expect.
1. How can this writer say that SanDisk's 4 inch screen is "similar in size" to Apple Video's 2.5 inch screen? Give me a break! I thoroughly discount any review where the reviewer makes no attempt to be objective. Clearly this guy has an iPod jammed up his backside.
