If you’ve read this article after June 29, 2007, you could already have seen or even owned an iPhone. Even so, let’s take a look at the things the iPhone can do. We’re not going to use the techy terms like HDPS, Quasi-band GSM or things like that. It’s going to be a practical guide on how it works and will make your life better.
The iPhone was introduced by Steve Jobs, the Apple CEO on January 29, 2007. Jobs introduced this mobile phone to the public during the annual Macworld Conference and Expo. This mobile phone promises to revolutionize the mobile phone world, and maybe it does. The iPhone can almost do anything, and this includes taking pictures, videos, listening to music, watching videos, and surfing and chatting on the net.
Keeping up with its tradition of offering large memory to its consumers, the Apple’s iPhone comes in two versions when it comes to memory: 4G and 8G. The downside of this is that it’s an internal flash memory and not a hard drive. If you’ve been in the MP3 world for a long time, you’ll probably recognize the vulnerability of flash based memory MP3 players compared to hard disk players. Flash memory is more prone to destruction because of power fluctuations and hard disks are basically more reliable when it comes to memory storage. Plus, if the flash memory goes down, everything could go with it. Hard disks can still be replaced with ease, just as with your computers.
Maybe the coolest feature of the iPhone is its interface. The iPhone literally no physical keypads. The keypad is in the interface and it’s a touch phone. Jobs has also simulated the phone against unwanted touches and the phone works perfectly in terms of protecting it from accidental touching. Its cool sliding interface makes it even better. If you’re looking at the pictures and flip it sideways, the iPhone will detect the action and also flip the picture.
The iPhone also works as an MP3 player judging from its memory capability. With 4G or 8G of memory, you can store even videos in the website. Because of this, the iPhone also comes with iTunes. There you’ll see the necessity of having an internet connection, and Apple answers that concern. Instead of using 3G or HDPS or any mumbled terms we’re not aware of, iPhone can easily connect to the Internet via WiFi which is nearly everywhere right now. Some see it as a disadvantage but most see it as a good thing to connect to the net. Now you can download all the movies and music you want in your iPhone using the Internet. On the other hand, Apple has also announced the release of an iPhone that can connect to 3G. Of course you can still update your phone using the phone dock to sync your files with your computer.
iPhone will definitely change the mobile phone world. It’s offer of an all in one usage makes other mobile phone companies like Nokia or Motorola scramble to offer something better.
