iPhone

Apples’ iPhone was first revealed to the public on the WWDC in January 2007. Intense rumors had been 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. The new iteration of the iPhone (Apple iPhone 3G) was released on the 11th of July 2008 in 22 countries at the same time.

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.

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.

  1. Apple iPhone Review

    Reviewer: Audioholics
    27 May 2008

    I spent Sunday afternoon on the beach, and when I got home there was an email that had been sent about 4:55pm saying my phone had been activated.  Interestingly enough, my old phone had continued to work up until the moment the iPhone activation was completed.  I did read in some Apple forums of people who were without service during the activation delay, but this was not the case with me.

    I should have a lot of contempt for Apple because a year before the iPhone was announced, I had the coolest tech idea. No lie: I called it visual voice mail. It was going to be my ticket to fame and fortune — until I saw a commercial for the iPhone, and the actor was talking about a system that lets users look at their voice mail and choose which ones to listen to.

    It's not quite "the Internet in your pocket," however. It displays HTML pages gorgeously (even over EDGE!) but the Internet is now loaded up with Javascript, Java, Flash, streaming media and other plug-ins. The iPhone can't hit many of these rich experiences—so while the browser is the best a phone has ever had, it's not desktop-quality and some sites are off-limits. This may change come February.— next: Luscious Design and Interface > Read more

    So that's about it. We are not providing any direct links to the applications, as they can be found in the Installer app. For those that haven't been tinkering under the hood of their iPhone, we hope that this article is quite revealing. The application development scene is on the rise and new applications emerge every day. A perfect example of that is the iApp-a-Day project, also available through the Installer. The project developer has committed to developing a new... Read more

    The apple iphone(8gb) from at&t is a phone with a sleek feel and a sleek look which will def turn heads and get people to notice but with some features missing that have me asking why? The apple iphone comes with only two buttons on it one on the top right and one on the bottom of the face in the shape of a circle which is the home button (or menu). It comes in a pretty thin rectangular shape and has thin volume nubs on the side and a small switch for to switch from r... Read more
