Apple iPhone. Where is the GPS? And the apps? And the name?

Apple logoSo, Apple announced the iPhone. After the stock leap at Nasdaq, people seem to be having a closer look at what was really announced. Some analyst is writing down a few numbers. Somewhere else we read that, in order to achieve better stability, the iPhone will be a closed system. No third-party apps. I’m desperately seeking for built-in GPS. My little Mio A701 is a phone, an MP3 player, a video player, a camera and a GPS. I can put almost any kind of app on it and, with a lot of gadgets included in the package, I need no additional shopping. Who is going to buy the 10 millions iPhones to make Jobs happy? And what about the nice use of Cisco trademark?
