From Rumor to Tangible Information

Technology and imagination are a great combination, and maybe that's why the iPhone rumor mill has been so fun. But the ride is almost over, and discussions will soon switch over to the tangible. People will want information on how to get the most out of the device, or whether it's even worth bothering about. People will no longer have to imagine how the device can change their lives or what new technology Steve Jobs can whip out and make consumer friendly. Instead, they will be searching for tales of user experience. Are people spending frustrated hours trying to read Digg over their neighborhood coffee shop's wifi? Did the touch interface accidentally dial their grandma instead of their friend Bernie?

It will be an important time for tech news sites to get their hands on an iPhone. Since Walt Mossberg is the only reporter who is known to have an iPhone right now, many eyes will be on his review, since he will have had it longest.
