Apple announced its new iPhone yesterday and backpackers are already considering as essential outdoor gear.

Dave Lewis of Canada wrote his impression in the G Spot on Backpackinglight.com:

I’m not a cell phone user… never owned one… and don’t plan to buy one anytime soon… but this is a pretty amazing product. The multi-touch input is pretty cool… two finger pinch or stretch to zoom in or out… and a quick brush to scroll… very nice. They filed 200 patents for this thing. It’s really more of a pocket PC with a ‘next generation’ touch screen / gestural interface than a phone. And of course… it has Apple’s great software and user interface. Some minuses people are pointing out…

Here’s a link to Apple to check it out.

Be light. Be safe. Be one with the pack.
