iPhone - The Revolution continues...

By Ian Ball

An iPhone is a multimedia and Internet-enabled quad-band GSM EDGE-supported cellular phone that is developed, manufactured and sold by Apple Inc. This is a revolution in mobile phone technology with its bonny look and advanced features. The functions of this phone include camera phone and a multimedia player. These feature come along with text messaging and visual voicemail. You can also browse through this wonderful gadget and you browsing can include e-mail, visiting websites, search engines and many more. The device offers you Wi-Fi connectivity.

The device having multi-touch screen with virtual keyboard and buttons has been available in the market since June, 2007 in United States from the Apple Retail Store, Apple Online Stores, AT&T Mobility and from many more authorized dealers. The model is available with 4GB storage and 8GB storage.

The world is towards globalization and so the technology. Big things are becoming smaller and small are becoming minute. Macro has turned into mini and now to micro and in future for nano! An iPhone houses almost all features of computer and cellular phone. It is the unique combination for your entertainment and business deals.

Top features include its touch screen (liquid crystal display) HVGA topped with optical-quality glass and it is large enough that no stylus is required. For writing, you have automatic spell checking, predictive word capabilities along with classic dictionary that can suggest you latest words.

While viewing the photo albums and web pages, you can magnify them by multi-touch sensing. It is quite possible to zoom-in and out of objects. This is done in very unique way; you need to place two fingers (generally thumb and forefinger) on the screen and then move them farther apart or closer together as if you are stretching or gathering the image. When you perform this, the latest technology of the phone does not spoil your image and there will be no distortion.

Few of the unique features include sensors; a proximity sensor, which shuts off the display and touch-screen when the device is brought nearer to the face to save the battery power. This will also prevent spurious inputs from a person's face and ears. An ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness on the display and finally, a 3-axis accelerometer that senses the orientation of the gadget and changes the screen according to the different situations.

Typical camera functions include 2.0 megapixel that can bring you still digital photography but it lacks of video recording. However, the resolution is crystal clear and you can also upload, view and e-mail the still snapshots. The web connectivity is faster and easy to use. Phone also has Bluetooth connectivity and 'Fine EDGE' upgrades from AT&T. The gadget runs on the optimized version of the Mac OS X system and iPhone's CPU is ARM processor. The operating system takes about 700 MB of the device and is enable to accept the future technology from Apple.

Overall, an iPhone may replace any of your present phone and business device. The gadget can make your communication easier than before and it can give you more facilities and can perform various tasks rather than just being a phone.
