The-Apple-iPhone

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.Another convenient feature in the iPhone is the internet browsing capability. The HTML email client is fast and easy to use and you can synchronise bookmarks between your computer and iPhone without a problem. The best mobile web browser, Safari, is used in the iPhone.The iPhone becomes very convenient if you are stuck in a traffic jam and need to find alternative routes. The Google Maps feature in it helps you view different maps and satellite images and focus on specific geographical locations to get more information on traffic.The iPhone certainly makes life a whole lot easier. It has a small 3.5 inch screen that is touch controlled. It is a bigger screen than is typically seen on a mobile phone. This allows the quality of pictures and video to be considerably better.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.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.

The-release-of-the-Apple-iPhone-3G-what-does-it-mean-for-other-mobile-phone-makers

Today, July 11th, saw the release of one of the most eagerly awaited and hotly debated mobile phones in history, the Apple iPhone 3G. But how is it going to affect everybody else? The likes of Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung... what mobile phones will they bring out to rival the Apple iPhone 3G. Apple iPhone 3G - fixing the problems In 2007, when the first iPhone was unleashed on the world, the response was... well, mixed at best. Some hailed it as the greatest mobile phone ever made, while others said that it couldn't compete with other mobile phones, due to the lack of crucial features and the astronomically high price. Sales figures of this supposed saviour of mobile phones were low, all things considered, and it's undoubtedly due mostly to the price, and the fact that the original iPhone lacked (the most crucial oversight of all) 3G. That meant that all it had a wonderful web browser, it couldn't connect to the internet at anything like a decent speed. Fast forward a year, and now there's a brand new version, the Apple iPhone 3G. And as the name suggests, this one DOES have 3G. So, is THIS new version the king of mobile phones that Apple fans say it is? Is it the perfect mobile phone, that the original should've been? Well... no. There's no doubt that it is better. The 3G on the Apple iPhone 3G is very fast, and it finally means that an iPhone can compete on a level playing field with other mobile phones, in terms of internet access. And, of course, it has built-in GPS, which is rapidly becoming a must-have feature. But it's what it hasn't got that is disturbing. There's still no back button. There's still no copy/paste. You still can't send or receive MMS messages. And worst of all, the camera is still a measly 2 megapixels, WITHOUT flash, autofocus or video recording. Considering that 47% of people say a 'better than 2 megapixel camera 'is a must have' in their mobile phones, the absence of a great camera from the Apple iPhone 3G is truly worrying. Apple fans will, of course, deny that mobile phones need top-end cameras, and call people who disagree with 'unbelievers' (I speak from personal experience of Apple fans, here!), but the fact is, the Apple iPhone 3G simply cannot compete with other mobile phones on camera quality. When you factor in some of the rumoured mobile phones due out this year, it's becoming increasingly likely that Apple are in for a massive shock when the likes of Nokia and Sony Ericsson unleash their iPhone Killers. Sony Ericsson Hecaro - the iPhone's going down! Let's take a look at how the Swedish/Japanese joint venture, Sony Ericsson, is going to counter the threat of the Apple iPhone 3G. To be honest, though, we don't know yet what they have up their sleeve. We do, though, have an idea of what it might be like, based on a leaked video and a prototype codename: 'Hecaro'. But what, exactly is the Sony Ericsson Hecaro? Well, if rumours are correct, it's going to go straight to the top of the pile of smart mobile phones, dominating everything round it. It's rumoured to have as big a touchscreen as the Apple iPhone 3G, internet access just as fast, but with a 5 megapixel camera, and all the things the iPhone's missing. If the rumours of this Sony Ericsson wonderphone are true, then it's not just going to beat the iPhone... it's going to beat all mobile phones in the history of the world, ever!
