The Apple iPhone combines
three products — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod
with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications
device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching —
into one small and lightweight handheld device.
The Phone
The Apple iPhone is a revolutionary new mobile phone
that allows you to make a call by simply tapping a name or number in
your address book, a favorites list, or a call log. It also
automatically syncs all your contacts from a PC, Mac, or Internet
service. And it lets you select and listen to voicemail messages in
whatever order you want — just like email.
Calls
Making a call with the iPhone is as simple as touching a name or
number. You can also create a favourites list of numbers or merge
calls together to create a conference.
Visual Voicemail
With a coolness score of ten out of ten, the new visual voice mail
feature is very cool. It allows you to go directly to any of your
messages without having to listen to prior messages. Did your
girlfriend or wife leave you a message? Listen to hers before
listening to the one from your boss.
Predictive Text Soft Keyboard
Personally I am not a fan of soft keyboards, however the other
features make up for it's lack of slide out QWERTY keyboard.
2 Megapixel Camera
When it comes to the camera, Apple have put in a 2 Megapixel camera.
That is great for the photography nut (...Ok I am guilty of that
one...) as it allows you to always have a fairly decent camera
around to catch that "right moment, at the right time" shot.
The iPod
iPhone is a widescreen iPod with touch controls that
lets you enjoy your content — including music, audiobooks, videos,
TV shows, and movies — on a beautiful 3.5-inch widescreen display.
It also lets you sync your content from the iTunes library on your
PC or Mac. And then you can access it all with just the touch of a
finger.
Music
With a flick of your finger, you can scroll through your songs,
artists, albums or playlists. You can even browse by album artwork.
Video
The stunning Wide Screen (3.5 inches) is the ultimate way to
entertain yourself with a good movie, whether you are on a train,
plane, or simply just hanging around somewhere.
Pocket
Internet
iPhone features a rich HTML email client and Safari
— the most advanced web browser ever on a portable device — which
automatically syncs bookmarks from your PC or Mac. Safari also
includes built-in Google and Yahoo! search. iPhone is fully
multi-tasking, so you can read a web page while downloading your
email in the background over Wi-Fi or EDGE.
Safari
The iPhone sports the latest in browser technology with it's Safari
browser. See pages the way they were supposed to be seen and then
using your finger with the little flick motion, you can zoom in or
out.
Mail
Well what good is a phone now adays if it didn't have email. Well
the iPhone does have email support for POP3 and IMAP, which means
even on the run you can receive and send emails.
Maps
Never get lost again with the Apple iPhone's map support. Maps are
provided by Google Maps.
Widgets
The iPhone is barely off the shelves on release date and already
there are loads of widgets available to enhance your experience of
the latest feeds to your phone.
YouTube
Apple has even included an easy way to watch YouTube videos. Find a
really funny video? Then use the cool built in mailing function.
Hi-Tech
Multi-touch
With their new innovative Multi-Touch interface, everything you need
is on or accessable via the screen.
OS X
The iPhone comes with Apple OS X. With support for email, weather,
internet stocks, and many more this software redefines what you can
do with a mobile phone.
Wireless
The iPhone boasts Edge, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, and the standard GSM
protocols.
Sensors
There are some funky sensors on the device. One, the accelerometer
detects when you rotate the device so that the display can be
changed. The iPhone also detects whether you are talking to someone,
it will blank the screen to save bettery power.
