wow I'm impressed with the iPhone shots. I wouldn't have thought they'd look so good. For my first year present to myself I'm going to get a SLR myself. However choosing which one to get is the biggest paid. I have a 35mm Minolta at home that takes perfect pictures but I hate using 35mm after being spoiled with digital. Some offer higher megapixels while a 10mp pic through a fuzzy lens is nothing but a high quality fuzzy lens. I'd like to get one capable of 8mp or better but I can settle for less. Sometimes I want to make large prints of the shots I take so I want the extra mp.
