iPhone To Be Released On June 29

June 29 is the magic date of the iPhone's arrival and details are just pouring in. Boy Genius has the information we're looking for:

1. The iPhone will interact with your Mac through iPhoto and iTunes, but will not appear on your desktop as a removable drive.
2. There will not be an external SIM slot, contrary to the announcement at MacWorld stating that the phone would have a SIM slot at the top of the device.

3. The battery will be next to impossible to remove, as there are no external latches, release buttons, or clips (but you already knew that, didn't you?).

4. An iChat program will not be included in the initial operating system. Coupled with the lack of support for 3rd party apps for the time being, this means that there will be no way to get your instant messaging fix for now.

5. Safari for iPhone features tabbed browsing, making it an even more appealing alternative to the Pocket IE world.

6. There is a VPN client currently in beta that may or may not be included in the initial release.

7. The screen is surprisingly resistant to smudges and blemishes.

This is probably a stupid question, but if there are no latches, does that mean you can't change SIMs? Is there a part of the device that you can actually open? We mentioned before that your carrier probably won't be supporting it, but allowing you to change SIMs will let you play with the device, at least. I'm going to be scouring for unboxing videos and pictures when this baby comes out.
