Chief executive Steve Jobs introduced the new device to the public during an appearance at the Macworld Conference and Expo in San Fransciso, showcasing Apple technology. <\/font><\/p>\n

"Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything," Jobs told conference delegates. <\/font><\/p>\n

"It’s like having the Internet in your pocket," the Apple CEO said. <\/font><\/p>\n

"It’s the ultimate digital device. It’s like having your life in your pocket." <\/font><\/p>\n

The iPhone will be ultra-slim – less than half-an-inch (1.3 centimeters) thick – boasting a phone, Internet capability and an MP3 player as well as featuring a two megapixel digital camera, Jobs said. <\/font><\/p>\n

"This is a leapfrog product with a revolutionary new interface with software five years ahead of any other phone and desktop class\u00a0 applications, not those crippled applications you find on those other phones," Jobs said. <\/font><\/p>\n

"When you get a chance to get your hands on it, I think you’ll agree, we’ve reinvented the phone," he said. <\/font><\/p>\n

Apple’s shares spiked 4.20 dollars, or 4.9%, at 89.67 dollars in the wake of the company’s announcement. <\/font><\/p>\n

Analysts had been expecting Jobs to unveil the nifty new device at the conference, a move that aims to capitalize on the company’s wildly popular iPod digital music player. <\/i><\/font><\/p>\n
