iPhone
Intro..
Apple announced the
iPhone on 9 January
2007.
 Was initially introduced
in the United States on
29 June 2007
 On 11 July 2008, the
iPhone 3G was released
and supported faster 3G
data speeds and Assisted
GPS

Advantages
Multi-touch & The GUI: In true Apple style,
the iPhone's menu interface is attractive,
intuitive, and easy to use. With multi-touch
technology it allows you to move your finger
in a variety of ways to manipulate what's on
the screen.
Desktop-class web browser and E-mail: The
Safari browser really sets the iPhone apart
from the cell phone crowd. Rather than
trudging through stripped-down WAP pages
with limited text and graphics, the browser
displays Web pages and E-mail in their true
form as you see them on your computer.
Third-party application support: After the
release of the SDK, developers are now able
to create different applications and deliver
them wirelessly though the App Store.
Advantages
Visual voice mail: iPhone's voice mail works
much like a text-message folder in that it
displays the caller's name or phone number
and the time. What's even more fantastic,
however, is that you can listen to the message
instantly by pressing the individual message-you don't even have to call your voice mail
first.
Wireless music download: With the iTunes WiFi Music Store you can download music over
the air to your phone anywhere you are.
YouTube: Although the iPhone does not
support flash from its Safari web browser, but
you can still take YouTube with you and watch
any video you need on the go.
Battery life: The iPhone has great battery
comparing to other phones. You can get up to 8
to 10 hours of talk time (5 hours on 3G version
with 3G on); 24 hours of music playback; 7
hours of video playback and 5-6 hours of web
browsing (5 hours with 3G on in the 3G
version of the iPhone.)
DIS-ADVANTAGES
No MMS: You can't send multimedia messages which any normal
phone can do.
No copy, cut and past: One of the
most unexpected feature is the lack
of cut, copy and past. If you want to
copy and past something, memorize
it and retype it on the iPhone.
No removable battery: You cannot
replace the battery if it dies because
it is sealed inside. If the battery is
damaged you have to send the
phone back to Apple in order for
them to fix it.
Locked to AT&T: It's only offered
for one service provider which is
AT&T and you have to sign a 2year contract with them.
More Disadvantages
No video capture: The iPhone
camera does not take videos
which a phone for the 20th
century can do.
No Flash support: The iPhone
does not support Flash.
Virtual keyboard: The
keyboard needs time getting
used to; it's hard to use for
some people with large fingers
too.
Lack of camera features: The
camera has no zoom or picture
editing features.
PRICES $$$$
The iPhone 3G, unveiled by Apple
CEO Steve Jobs at the end of his
Worldwide Developers Conference
keynote Monday, will sell for $199
for the 8GB model and $299 for the
16GB model. That’s a $200
discount from the previous $399
and $499 prices for the 8GB and
16GB iPhones, respectively. And
it’s a far cry from the price tag for
the iPhone when it was introduced
nearly a year ago. Last June, the
iPhone cost as much as $599 for an
8GB model.
