Forget the status bags and pricey scarves: the iPhone has proven itself the most covet-worthy accessory of the season. With its bad-ass phone features, widescreen iPod with browse-able album covers, über-advanced Web browser, impressive photo skills, and overall aesthetic (and you know there's some cutting-edge technology lumped in there too), the gadget has exploded onto the scene as a must-have for computer nerds and amateurs alike. But let's be honest: you totally bought yours so you can whip it out at a crowded party and revel in the "oohs" and "aahs" of your late-to-the-game peers. Considering how many features are packed into the device, the price tag ($499/4GB; $599/8GB) doesn't seem all that unreasonable. Just make sure this one doesn't meet the same demise as your most recent cell phone, in the bottom of a toilet bowl. Buy one at local Apple Stores and AT&T retailers; visit www.apple.com for more information.
