The Fabulous Features Of The Iphone

The iPhone is an amazing new piece of technology with many capabilities. Though some have criticized Apple�s first version of their mobile phone, nobody can complain that the gadget is lacking in function and style. Though there will undoubtedly be many updates made to the Apple iPhone that will improve, enhance, and add to its existing functions, the device remains amazingly useful and diverse as it is. As far as function goes, the Apple iPhone is top notch. The Touch Screen The iPhone features a 3.5 inch touch screen with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels at 160 ppi. The screen is liquid crystal display and is covered by optical-quality glass, making it extremely compatible for use with a single finger, or even with multiple fingers. In fact, that is the only way that the user can interact with the device. A stylus is not needed to make selections on the screen, nor can one be used. It is required that bare skin is used to interact with the screen. One of the features the touch screen includes is a virtual keyboard, which includes a dictionary and spell check. Scrolling is used to move back and forth through various menus and windows. Multi-touch sensing allows the user to zoom in and out of websites and photo albums by �pinching� the touch screen in between two fingers. The Phone The phone function of the iPhone has multiple capabilities. The phone enables conference calls, caller ID, call merging, visual voicemail, and text messaging. By partnering with AT&T, Apple has been able to incorporate many unique features in the iPhone. The Camera And Other Multimedia With a built in 2.0 mega pixel camera, the iPhone has the ability to take still digital pictures. However, it is not able to record videos. The photo software that accompanies the phone allows the user to upload their pictures, as well as view and send the photos. Part of the phone�s appeal is the incorporation of the iPod. Very much like the fifth generation iPods, which were introduced in 2005, the iPhone has a music library which can be sorted in various ways. Additionally, the device can play video. This enables the user to view both TV shows and movies. Internet And Email The iPhone can connect to the Internet in one of three different ways. It can use Wi-Fi, EDGE, or Bluetooth 2.0. However, the gadget is not able to support Java or Flash technology, making it difficult to view certain websites. The email function on the iPhone is able to be synched with Apple�s mail application, as well as with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Entourage. It can support email attachments of various formats, such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, and PDF files. The Wonderful World Of Technology Despite the few complaints that consumers have had regarding the iPhone, the device continues to be an amazing display of the many technological advancements that have been made in this world.
