I have never seen a more beautiful phone than Apple’s iPhone. I mean, wow. And I’m not the kind of person to get all teary-eyed over gadgets.

The good news for Google fans is that Google Maps and Search will be available on the iPhone. Google doesn’t have an exclusive relationship with Apple, however, even if CEO Eric Schmidt joked that the two companies could become one. A partnership with Yahoo will allow all iPhone customers to hook up with free push IMAP e-mail.

Actually more exciting for me is the inclusion of CoverFlow, the most beautiful music browser I’ve ever seen. I used the CoverFlow beta until a few months ago, when it was acquired by Apple.
