All the iPhone madness started at MacWorld 07 where Steve Jobs announced that Apple will soon be releasing a touchscreen phone called the iPhone. But did you know that one of the iPhone domain names owned by Apple, the iPhone.org was registered by Apple in the last century? Yes, it was way back in 1999!

Other than iPhone.org, other iPhone related domain names owned by Apple include iPhone.com and iPhone.net, both redirect to http://www.apple.com/iphone.

Now, of course there has been numerous interesting iPhone developments since 1999. But worry not, iPhone Gold has come up with a cool timeline of these developments starting from that first 1999 event up until the recent 3G iPhone release.
