And the truth is that. No year yet that electronic products on display at CES 2007 are submerged like this year, because the spotlight has accrued both for iPhone and iTV.

The iPhone's retail price when it officially ships next June will be $ 499 (4GB of memory) or $ 599 (8GB of memory).

" The best product released in the past week, no doubt, is the Apple iPhone, " Cowen expert Arnie Berman said. Even though LG's Blu-ray / HD-DVD player and a series of Qualcomm handsets are also very attractive.
