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.

    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 the best portable media player ever. It's possibly the most fun we've ever had with a handheld device. It browses the Web like a champ. But poor phone call performance and missing messaging options make us unwilling to recommend it as a phone. 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

    Didn't get that iphone you wanted for Christmas??? No Problem! This is GREAT, and I know you're probably thinking it's too good to be true, but it's real! There is an marketing company giving away millions of dollars in merchandise including 8gb Apple iPhones, iPods, TV's and even cash. It will take you a few minutes of effort on your computer and requires fulfilling one (NOT several) offers from a merchant that can cost you nothing if you follow my instructions. This... Read more
