For those of you who may not know, Apple unveiled its new iPod/Phone hybrid at Macworld yesterday. It's an 8 GB iPod with a cingular cell phone, running Mac OS X, which allows you to surf the web and view real web pages - oh , and it's widescreen. It looks pretty slick. Unfortunately, it's only available through Cingular for $600.

That is all...
