Apple iPhone
Apples iPhone was first revealed to the public on the WWDC in January 2007. There had been intense rumors circulating for several months about the upcoming phone from Apple. Even though Apple presented the phone the anticipating audience had to wait until mid-summer 2007 to get their hand on the device. For the US market the iPhone is tied to AT&T with different data and call plans.
Features:
The iPhone has a large 3.5 in LCD display with 320x480 resolution and uses a multi-touch interface rather than actual buttons. There is a virtual keyboard for typing and the user interface consist of large icons for navigation. Besides being a phone it offers full internet browsing capabilities with the built in Safari browser. When launched the iPhone came in one 4GB version and one 8GB version, the 4GB version was discontinued after a few months. In February 2008 Apple also released a 16GB version of the phone with a MSRP at $499 (8GB at $399). The iPhone also features a built in e-mail client, iPod with video capabilities.
Other features
- 2 MegaPixel camera
- Quad band
- Bluetooth 2.x+ EDR
- Wifi
- motion sensor
The good: The Apple iPhone has a stunning display, a sleek design, and an innovative multitouch user interface. Its Safari browser makes for a superb Web surfing experience, and it offers easy-to-use apps. As an iPod, it shines.
The bad: The Apple iPhone has variable call quality and lacks some basic features found in many cell phones, including stereo Bluetooth support and 3G compatibility. Integrated memory is stingy for an iPod, and you have to sync the iPhone to manage music content.
The bottom line: Despite some important missing features, a slow data network, and call quality that doesn't always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated cell phone and MP3 player.
Specs: OS provided: Apple MacOS X; Band / mode: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband); Wireless connectivity: IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR
