First iPhone Hands-On

Hands-on report on the iPhone, live from WWDC: "In my hand, the 3G iPhone is lighter, fits better, and noticeably thinner. I made a call with it, side by side with my 1st generation iPhone, and the reception is noticeably better as well. I can't even believe this is frigging AT&T anymore." With the better reception, it may be worth a look a bit sooner than I thought. I still won't be a day one person with it. A coworker will be getting one fairly soon, I'll check out his reception.

Does anyone know what the definition of "Business data access" means? Does that mean push email? well, is that worth $20 more a month? for two years? for $240? My feeling is that I'll wait initially and maybe until a 32GB or 64GB with tether capabilty comes out.
