You'll be the proud possessor of a an extremely useful gadget and possibly one of the best handheld gaming machines around!

Not only does the original iPhone have all the features of the iPod Touch, but it has extra features, such as a built in microphone and a built in speaker which the iPod Touch doesn't have.

Are you listening to a song on the radio that you really like but can't identify? No problem! Just open the Shazam application (free download) on your iPhone, place it near the sound source, and your iPhone will tell you all about the song and even offer to take you to the iTunes store to buy it!

Want to create your own radio station and play it through your iPhone? Easy. Just install the Pandora app (free download) on your iPhone, search for a song you like, and then let Pandora build a radio station with songs just like it. While the songs are playing, you can give each song a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" to train Pandora to pick songs you will like.

Play scrabble. Play Tetris, Sudoku, Tap Tap Revenge, Texas Hold 'em, Super Monkey Ball, Solitaire, and many, many more. New apps are being constantly added. Some of the apps take advantage of the iPhone's motion sensors, such as the sensational Labyrinth, which senses even the slightest movements as you try to guide the ball through a maze dotted with holes.
