The Apple iPhone

by Russell M. Stewart

Before and after it was released, the iPhone created quite a hype. There are several reasons to explain why it made a massive impact on the technical-minded groups and beyond. The iPhone is different, gives out a powerful impression, packs advanced technology and is feature-rich, all in a single small-sized gadget. It’s a combination between a mobile phone and an iPod.

This hybrid innovation is a quad-band gadget, uses GSM standards and supports EDGE data technology, which is an enhanced version on GSM networks. The iPhone was named ‘Invention of the Year 2007′ by Time magazine.

The features available on the iPhone include the ordinary caller ID, call merging, conferencing, caller holding and various cellular network integration functionalities. Besides these, its unique features include the noteworthy visual voicemail feature. The convenient functionality lets you access your voicemail messages individually and directly, instead of listening to all the messages serially.

The iPhone also features the capability to surf the net. You are able to read your emails and synchronise your computer with your phone to share your bookmarks and other internet features. The iPhone uses the mobile browser Safari on it.

The iPhone can be a handy device if you are lost or stuck in traffic. You can access Google maps and find a way around the traffic or where you are. You are also able to get other traffic information directly.

Apart from these excellent features helping to make life more convenient, the iPhone has a touch-screen measuring 3.5 inches in width. The large screen permits more workspace and provides better video quality.

The phone is sensitive to its surroundings as well. For instance, if the phone is too close to the users face, it will shut off to prevent any facial featrues from making any accidental entries on the phone. It will also adjust the display brightness based on the surroundings and it will change the angle of the screen based on the phone’s angle.

It is definitely a gadget that every gizmo-lover should have. It is able to connect to the internet and allows the user to watch and download movies, videos and music. But the primary function of the iPhone is still checking emails, because statistics show over 77% of iPhone owners mostly use it for email, browsing and downloading, in that exact order.
