iPhone: keep your hands off

Apple is keeping the iPhone itself under wraps from the media and the public here, with just one model on the show floor that's inside a glass case --- and even has a guard standing next to it (he doesn't look very happy, if you wondered).

So how much is "magic" and how much is magic? We'll have to wait until the summer to find out - and even longer in Europe.

It also keeps the little blighter in a dust-free, smudge-free, finger-free place. I want to see it in use... after all, most people will remember how the nano scratched up, and if you're using a touchscreen it's even more important to keep it clean and clear. The iPhone looks like an absolutely stonking PDA/phone hybrid - but without a hands-on demo it's difficult to tell how far it might be able to go.
