The iPhone created quite a sensation before and after it first emerged in the market. Why did it make such a huge impact on the tech savvy community and beyond? Because it's different, feature-rich and packs advanced technology and powerful impression in one neatly sized package. It's a mobile phone and iPod combined.
Named 'Invention of the Year 2007' by Time magazine, it uses a degree of technology that has never been introduced before. It has all the standard features of a regular mobile phone.
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.
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 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.
Besides these nice functions that make life more convenient, the iPhone also has a 3.5 inch screen and it's touch sensitive (touch-screen). The bigger screen allows better video quality and more workspace.
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 is the must-have technological gizmo of the new era. WiFi connectivity, downloadable music and movies, bigger screen and the sleek look have contributed much to the iPhone's appeal. Interestingly, with all that great functionality, the iPhone's main use is email checking. Over 77% of iPhone users check their email on it everyday. The next most popular iPhone activities are web browsing and downloading.
