Apple’s much-hyped iPhone finally goes on sale in the US today.

The opening cost of the phone is $499 to $599 for the 4GB and 8GB models respectively. Apple said the iPhone’s battery was good for eight hours of talktime, six hours of net use or seven hours of video watching. The gadget – which melds a phone, Web browser and media player – is the best thing to happen since the iPod, say tech gurus. Apple also said it hoped to sell 10 million iPhones by 2008 and grab itself a 1% share of the mobile phone market.

The iPhone going on sale on 29 June is likely to be just the first of a long line of gadgets with future models adding the features and software lacking in the original.

AT&T has confirmed that the iPhone will be available in all 1,800 AT&T phone stores at 6 p.m. sharp on June 29, according to an interview with USA Today. “We fully expect one or more of our stores to run out of stock on the first or second day — my guess is the first day,” says Larry Carter, senior vice president of sales for AT&T, the iPhone’s exclusive U.S. distributor.
