Apple iPhone
The iPhone is the recent (3Q, 2007) greatest Apple creation. It is a multimedia computer, but not one to to compete Nokia N95 or similar devices. This is a device that can be appreciate by the Apple iPod fans. Although iPhone features a striking hardware design, the software personality is complex and still easy to use. The iPhone has been launched and promises to revolutionize the way we use our phones forever. Even if it will not accomplish that, iPhone will change the mobile communications.
When iPhone was announced, we were told that the iPhone will be: “an incredibly great cell phone,” “the best iPod they ever made,” and “the Internet in your pocket.” We agree to the second rhetoric description, the iPhone is the best iPod ever—paradoxic for a device not even called an iPod! But the device is a phone, and considering the avalanche of sales it should be a very popular one. Regarding the last rhetoric description of the iPhone, although it makes some leaps in the ergonomics of Internet browsing (large touchscreen, easy controlls), it is not the Internet in your pocket. It does not even come with 3G capabilities so high speed data transfers are ruled out from the start. iPhone is all about extraordinarily simple and easy-to-use.

Tech-talks
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. Also, what we could not believe at first, is the fact that a $600 phone like iPhone can’t do some crucial functions that even $50 handsets can: MMS; Video recording; Custom ring tones; Mass storage; Voice dialing when you’re using a car kit; Sending contact info to other people; Instant messaging; Sending an SMS to more than one recipient at a time.
Contrary to initial reports and speculation about the device, current iterations of the iPhone do not include a GPS unit. The Google Maps module lets you view street maps or aerial photos for any address. It can provide driving directions, too. It’s not real GPS the iPhone doesn’t actually know where you are — so you tap the screen when you’re ready for the next driving instruction.
