	The iPhone Cometh Few if any gadgets have ever commanded the attention that Apple's iPhone has. Evidence of a frenzy: Gotta-haves stood in line for almost a week to buy one. A CNBC reporter got irate on the air about not getting an advance unit. Hundreds of people became 5-minute celebrities — when the media turned to them for the meaning of iPhone life. All over a phone. Early reports, though, appear to show that at least some of the hysteria is justified. Although it may not be the "Jesus Phone", as too many writers have ironically called it, the iPhone has impressed much of the digerati so far. Our own Stewart Wolpin says it's "AMAZING" and that he "can't stop playing with it!" Watch for Stewart's full assessment later this week, but in the meantime, digest our wall-to-wall coverage of the hottest gadget of the year: THE IPHONE LAUNCH, PLAY BY PLAY IPHONE DAY PHOTO GALLERY THE FLOODGATES OPEN ON IPHONE ACCESSORIES WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE IPHONE TAKE OUR IPHONE QUIZ Non-iPhone news from the week: Earthquake Warnings — Just in the Nick of Time The EQGuard Alarm System warns you 20 seconds before an earthquake hits.
