This time round, Apple's iPhone lives to tell a different kind of story...
According to reports, just as there were enthusiasts waiting to get their hands on the iPhone, there were these tech freaks who made a mad dash to dismantle the device...
They all but ended up revealing the innards of the iPhone -- something that Apple had tried hard to conceal...
Going by the revelations made by these tech revellers, pride-of-place indeed goes to Samsung Electronics, identified as the supplier of the iPhone's main microprocessor as also of NAND flash memory.
Intel turns out the supplier of NOR flash memory, while Broadcom is the maker of the controller chip for the iPhone.
Texas Instruments is identified as the supplier of a power management chip, whereas Infineon Technologies turns out the maker of parts that handle cellular communications.
The power amplifier is from Skyworks Solutions, while the battery charger chip is from Linear Technology.
Meanwhile, Cambridge Silicon Radio is the maker of the chips that allow Bluetooth wireless connectivity; Marvell Technology Group the provider of the chips that allow the iPhone to connect over WiFi networks; and National Semiconductor Corp the maker of the iPhone's display chip.
Reportedly, stocks of all but a few component makers soared post the discovery.
Chances are: if the iPhone lives up to all the hype, part/component/chip makers too will partake of the Apple-induced gravy train...

Bill, while I agree that, in time, our band will rule. The truth is, Wyld Stallyns will never be a super band until we have Eddie Van Halen on guitar.

Sweet, glorious specs of the 11.6 millimeter device (that's frickin' thin, by the way) include a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 touchscreen display with multi-touch support and a proximity sensor to turn off the screen when it's close to your face www.mp4-converter.net/iphone-converter/dvd-to-iphone/

fenix -i think It will be useless to get iPhone from USA- it will locked, and with the Europe scheduled for 2008- i think legal iPhones will come to India only in Q2-08. It will be great in case support from manufacturer is available.

vijay, i dont understand, why did they dismantled it first?? and published its review after 4 days. its somewhat annoying. may be they were waiting for activation, and they did autopsy till activation. yeh sure it happened. they reported that AT&T servers were quite busy beacuse of massive activations done during the period.
