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.
Call waiting, caller id, conferencing etc,. but it also adds the function of an mp3 player at the same time. One of its more outstanding features is the capability of visual voicemail. You are able to select the voicemail you wish to listen to without having to go through all the other voicemails in your mailbox.
The internet browsing capability is another important feature in the iPhone. An HTML email client provides easy and quick access and you can sync bookmarks between your iPhone and computer easily. Safari, the best mobile web browser, is what's used in the iPhone.
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 iPhone display has a tri-sensory responder system: the first unit acts as a shut off device when the iPhone is too close to the user's face. This is to prevent accidental entries from the user's facial contours. The next sensory unit is the ambient light sensor, which adjusts the display brightness according to the environment. The final unit is a 3-axis accelerometre, which can sense the phone's specific angle and change the screen suitably.
The iPhone has become the must-have technological gadget of our time. Downloadable music and movies, sleeker look, WiFi connectivity and larger screen have contributed to the iPhone's charm. Intriguingly, while the iPhone has so many functions, the majority are known to use it just for checking emails on the move. Statistics show that over 77% of iPhone owners check email on it. The other popular activities among iPhone users include internet surfing and downloading.
