The iPhone is a technological marvel. The handheld device is an iPod part, a cell phone part, and a wireless Internet access part. The long-awaited iPhone feature list is remarkable. From the ability to listen to music and watch movies to cell phone and text capabilities to taking photos and videos, all with onboard Wi-Fi with fully functional web browsing capabilities, you can essentially do it all when you buy an Apple iPhone.
The iPhone is a beautiful device that features a 3.5 “screen. The iPhone is notably missing all the buttons that often appear on existing handheld devices. This is because the iPhone uses the touch screen method to control the screen. iPod-like input and navigation.
The iPhone uses a version of the Mac Safari web browser that allows you to resize entire web pages for viewing on the iPhone. It also allows you to zoom in and out on pages. One thing that needs to be addressed is that at this time, you cannot use the iPhone’s web capabilities to download music or videos from iTunes. You will need to use your existing PC or Mac to download movies or music and then transfer them to iPhone. This is likely to be something that will be corrected.
If you are looking to buy Apple’s iPhone, you will have two options, a 4GB model with a $ 499 retail label and a $ 5GB version that will retail for $ 599. The iPhone is scheduled to launch on June 29, 2007.
AT&T (Cingular Wireless) is the exclusive carrier for iPhone until 2009, so you may need to change carrier if you decide to buy an iPhone from Apple and are not currently using the AT&T network.
IPhones will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
