The new era in mobile phones bring to us its prime dweller.The iPhone
is the latest and greatest invention for the next 5 years.It would be
doing it a huge disservice to simply call it a mobile phone.iPhone
combines three products, a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen
iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications
device with desktop.The most desirable phone of 2007! The stunning
touchscreen user-interface of the iPhone is one of the seven wonders
of the modern world. Combining a phone, music player, camera and web
browser, the iPhone is a stunning device. Its only real limitations
are the lack of 3G and the relatively poor camera.The star of the show
with this mobile is certainly its capacitive touchscreen technology
display.The touchscreen functionality works far better than I would
have imagined. It seems to be accurate enough, but will pose a problem
for people with particularly wide fingertips. The display cannot be
used with a stylus, and must be relatively clean in order to function
well. While touchscreen equipped mobile phones and PDAs have been
around for years, the iPhone marks the first time a major manufacturer
has created a device that not only relies almost exclusively on its
touch screen for accessing and controlling phone features, but
actually requires the user to use their finger instead of a stylus.It
is really sad how some users will always attack a revolutionary
product just because it is made by apple when the real reason that
they attack it because they are too drugged on Microsoft products and
the new Windows Mobile system.Overall the phone is sa-weet! Better
camera than most phones, advanced picture viewing technology, visual
voicemail, etc. I could go on for hours...however, the phone doesnt
really meet the needs of business people.The iPhone introduces an
entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and
pioneering new software, letting users control everything with just
their fingers.In both hardware and software, the iPhone is a truly new
creation. In the technology industry, we tend to call these "1.0
products," and many savvy consumers choose to wait until a second
version arrives, presumably with the original version's bugs worked
out.I'm not saying wait for version 2.0. You don't need new hardware
to love the phone; version 1.1 should do it.The iPhone by Apple is an
evolution to the mobile communicator.Combining cellphone,email,
internet and other information services with a top-notch music and
video player, the iPhone positions itself as all things to the person
that needs all that.The iPhone aims to enhance usability by adding
more capability to a cell phone and wrapping it up with an intuitive
touch screen interface.Fun new interface for navigating multimedia.
Huge screen looks amazing. Terrific Web browser.Syncs well with PCs
and Macs.YouTube function is great.Small, functional and useable:
that's what gadgeteers are striving for. But sometimes it must be like
trying to squeeze Pavarotti into a leotard, a mission impossible if
ever there was one.Functions flow seamlessly into each other.Built-in
speaker for voice calling and music.The iPhone is the smartest smart
phone out there.It works just like the commercials.It is that smooth
and usable.
