The Apple iPhone

By Russell M. Stewart


The iPhone created quite a splash when it was given to the public. You may wonder why the public, who is more technologically advanced than in previous years, was so swayed by this phone. The reason is simple. The iPhone is full of never-before-seen technology and delivers it all in a highly effective trim little package. It is the combination of two very popular devices, the iPod and the mobile phone.

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.

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.

The iPhone also features the capability to surf the net. You are able to read your emails and synchronise your computer with your phone to share your bookmarks and other internet features. The iPhone uses the mobile browser Safari on it.

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 iPhone has three sensory responses on its display. The first response is the shut-off unit, where if you get too close to the screen, it shuts down. This helps avoid accidental entries occurring from the user's facial features. The second unit is the ambient light sensor. It adjusts the display brightness depending on the external environment's lighting. The last unit is known as the 3-axis accelerometre, a unit capable of changing the iPhone's screen according to the gadget's specific angle.

It is definitely a gadget that every gizmo-lover should have. It is able to connect to the internet and allows the user to watch and download movies, videos and music. But the primary function of the iPhone is still checking emails, because statistics show over 77% of iPhone owners mostly use it for email, browsing and downloading, in that exact order.

3G Apple iPhone Coming This June or Not.

By wendy Matters

Can it be concluded that there will be a release of an Apple iPhone 3G in June? This is one of the most widely spread secret in the world of IT. The hardware specifications for VodaPhone in italy confirmed it.

What is 3g and why wasn't the Apple iPhone a 3G in the initial stage?

The meaning of 3G is "3rd Generation". These types of devices can use one of two data protocols of competing cellular phones,and allows them to download at speeds of about half what a DSL line gives for downloads, and almost equal speeds for uploading. There are only assumptions as to whether or not the 3.5 generation protocol HSDPA will be picked up by Apple iPhone 3G.

The HSPDA is dominant in Europe hence the source of the speculation of Apple iPhone picking up the protocol. HSDPA networks are used by Both VodaPhone and StarOn. There are press releases, announcing Apple iPhone 3G seen since April on the Internet. "A 3G Apple iPhone is guaranteed to happen in the next three months" was the words of Walter Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal, back in April in a round robin press conference.

What one should be concerned about is this: The industrial design secrets are kept close to Apple; however we do know that this design will be slimmer, and of course,the Apple iPhone 3G will make data access much quicker.

So where's Apple's over-hyped secrecy? There was a signing of non-disclosure agreements during the launching of the iPhone last year, before journalist could see the hardware. So one can only imagine if Mossberg spoke of its 3G connectivity, what other cool features does Apple have in store that he is unable to speak off?

Speculation on that has ranged from the 3G Apple iPhone having built in GPS capabilities, to new software from the Software Development Kit released last February, to graphic acceleration. (Apple has publicly released announcements about integrating with Microsoft Exchange-driven "push" email, the major competitive advantage that Research In Motion's Blackberry has.)

This summer is the marked time span for the release of an 8MB and 16MB iPhone well so it have been announced - some hardware experts, mention of the success of the MacBook Air will be made, that this may be a red herring, and the 3G Apple iPhone may have a higher amount of Flash RAM.

One thing that likely isn't going to change, given the thinner form factor, is battery life. That's something of a let down for the Apple iPhone devotees; the 3G Apple iPhone is thinner and has a more powerful radio, which will prevent an expansion of the battery capacity in the first case, and consume more juice in the second.

So what does phone lookup means? This is a service that allows anyone to track down an owner of any cell phone number.

Owning a cell phone is a common thing these days. Even teens are carrying them everywhere. But people are not using them alone to make calls. Some are abusing its conveniences by disturbing folks with prank calls. They will dial any number they can concoct in their minds and these poor fellows are at their mercies.

Have you ever received a call from an unknown number? If you do, then you are among the many persons out there who are searching for a way to identify their unknown callers. Getting frequent calls from people who you do not know naturally becomes irritating. And so, it couldn't be avoided that the victim would look for a solution. Therefore, a reverse phone lookup service is at top of their options.

Step two. Be sure to find a website offering a reverse lookup for phone numbers. You have a wide variety of choice, as these sites are available over the Internet. Note that there are free websites and there are paid ones.

Rather than waste time there, spend a little money on a paid service and you can conduct unlimited accurate searches.

Your Cell Phone. Your Mobile, Compact, Companion

By Dai1952

There are so many functions incorporated into the modern cell phone that it has become many things to a variety of people but definitely something that you must have. I can see why most parents consider their children must have one but from the child's point of view it is merely a fashion statement.

Unfortunately, although it may be a good idea for youngsters to have them, not one of them would accept a simple basic cell phone that only made calls and sent SMS would they? Although the increase in cell phone popularity may not have been expected to reach such a high level, the manufacturers have improved the cell phone enormously in a very short space of time.

It is the number of functions that can be added to the cell-phone that puts it ahead of its landline based cousin. To make them a little more individual, new features like backgrounds called cellular phone wallpaper have been added.

In order to make the process as simple as possible, cell phone users can now get these wallpapers directly from internet websites. Although over recent years, the transfer of images has been getting easier between phones, with the advent of decent cameras built into the phone, any image can be used as screen wallpaper. If you prefer you can use an image you have captured previously on your own digital camera but the process does take a little time to set up.

Cleverly, it is now possible to add your own text to your cellular phone wallpaper as well. Still, even if you have an older cell phone that does not support all this new technology, it does not mean you cannot enjoy your cell phone. Still, even if your model cannot accept new screen backgrounds, it may well accept ring tones which will give you that personal touch. However, if you only want to make calls and send SMS messages, then none of this will matter to you.

You must never forget what the cell-phone is actually for and remember that sending a SMS text does not need the most popular background or ring tone to help it on its way! Functionality does not necessitate cellular phone wallpapers; their use is only to dress up your phone and for the purpose of flaunting your cell-phones high technology features, nothing more.

Many people become angry by others use of phones so remember that you have a responsibility to others when you make a call. Your phone should complement you and not be an extension of yourself as it is you that people will decide whether or not has any social etiquette.

No matter how technologically advanced your cell-phone is, it still comes with an off switch which many people will be glad you use if you are in a meeting for example. The type of wallpaper will not impress people as much as you turning your phone off in a meeting and may induce others to copy your good cell-phone etiquette. Respect is a two way street so to have respect from others means you have to earn it and then there is the opportunity that others around you will copy your lead.

Examining the Apple Iphone

By Nourman Med

There is much on the news these days about the Apple Iphone. Considering the fact that the sales of these phones were stratospheric makes the advancement of the Apple iphone an incredibly newsworthy event. There is good reason for this because the purpose of the iphone is to combine a series of separate media and communications items into one package: the mobile phone, email, widescreen iPod, etc. This makes the item quite an attractive package as not only do the technological advances of the iphone make it quite the convenient product, but it also proves to be a highly cost effective product as well. After all, instead of having to purchase separate items all one has to do is purchase the iphone. This will clearly prove to be a cost saver right off the bat.

Of course, despite all the media attention to the iphone many people are unsure of what it is actually that the iphone can do and what the value of the iphone actually is. This is not the fault of the media as reporting on the advancement and sales of the iphone does not include extensive, 20 minute public relations explanations of the phone. As such, it becomes important to perform additional research in order to understand the purpose and value of the phone. This then begs the question as to where to go for information.

The Primary Source of Apple Iphone Information

Probably the best place to go if you are looking for information on the Apple Iphone would be to head to the Apple Iphone homepage. (Please see http://www.apple.com/iphone) The reason for this is pretty obvious: the website is loaded with all the comprehensive information that is necessary for understanding what the product does. In fact, the site also contains a fairly comprehensive video presentation that details the iphone in great depth. The presentation of the Apple Iphone in a multimedia fashion also provides a quick and easy manner in which to understand the product. It was a wise move by Apple to present such a media presentation for all to access. It definitely shows confidence in the product.

One Caveat

If there was one caveat to mention in regards to reading about the iphone on Apple's website it would be the fact that Apple is only going to present the product in glowing terms and from a sales perspective. As such, the presentational will be purely informational in nature which is fine to a certain degree.

Different Kinds of Rumored Problems and Iphone Issues

By Nourman Medd

Apple has just recently released its latest innovation, the iPhone. This is a mobile phone that is capable of taking digital still pictures with its 2 mega pixel camera and capable of internet browsing using EDGE ad Wi-Fi technology. It has many innovations that are integrated into it and ever since it came out many problems and iphone issues have started popping up in forums.

Several Iphone Issues

One of the major iphone issues that have plagued it since it came out is its battery life. Some of the owners of the iPhone have encountered batteries that do not or can not charge. Basically, the batter is a dud even before you started using it. These kinds of iphone issues can be dealt with by calling the hotline and describing your iphone issues. Regarding the batteries, the company would advise you to send back the iPhone unit and they will replace the battery. They usually check it first for any tampering or untoward use and damage before they declare it a factory defect and announce you do not have to pay them for the new battery.

Other iphone issues that are more common are when the phone freezes or does not respond or you can not seem to answer a call. A call to customer service usually yields a reset solution which requires you to reset your phone by holding down both the home button and the power button. This usually solves the problem and now you know what to do in case it does it again.

Another one of the more glaring iphone issues is the need for the newer version of iTunes which sometimes does not recognize the iPhone. All you have to do is to keep on trying and praying that the iTunes will finally get your iPhone right.

Basically, all the iphone issues that may arise are better off if they arise earlier than later so that you have time to swap iPhones at AT&T or Apple. Some of the iphone issues can be resolved by just reading the manual; some people do not take time to study the manual which results in a waste of time and effort. It is better to read the manual carefully so you will know what to expect from your iPhone and how to resolve iphone issues.

If worse comes to worst, call the Apple hotline to talk to a customer service representative regarding your iphone issues and how to resolve them.

The Dawning of the Iphone

By Nourman Medd

The iphone is an awesome expansion in the ability for individuals to communicate. While some may dismiss the advent of the iphone as a common electronics leisure item designed to appeal to those with a need for high tech ‘toys’, the reality of the matter is that the expansion of any form of communicative device has great potential beyond mere leisure and can contribute greatly to the infrastructure of the economic stability of a nation.

Now, this may seem on the surface to be a bold statement, but in reality it is a somewhat reserved statement considering the fact that all we need to due is look at human history to see how tremendous the impact of the advent of communications devices. In the 1860’s, people learned of the Lincoln/Douglas debates by their reprinting of their words in newspapers. Now, what is more effective – reprinting speeches in a newspaper or watching the speeches unfold on television.

Then again, look at television for that matter. Once considered an obscene leisure item that offered little value, television is now the primary means (for better or for worse) in which people receive their news and information. The advent and expansion of any form of communicative device can have a huge impact. When a device such as the iphone comes along and dramatically combines separate (and formerly bulky) communications devices into one package, the impact can not be anything less that wildly dramatic.

The Impact of the Iphone on Business

A business needs to move quickly in order to maximize its profit potential. In other words, anything that contributes to lag time or a slowing down of the ability of a business to move about its, well, business keeps the business from driving its resources towards where it will generate maximum income.

For example, relying on receiving snail mail letters for important requested information is far, far less than desirable than email because the wait time on reception of a letter can be three days while a email is delivered in split seconds. There is not comparison between the two. With snail mail, up to three days of productivity can be lost. With the iphone and its resultant impact, the ability to speed up productivity is significantly magnified.

As such, the impact of the iphone on business can never be underestimated and in a short amount of time the massive positive effects of it on businesses will clearly become self apparent. In that regard, the iphone clearly endorses it self quite well in terms of stimulating purchasing interest.
