subject: Iphone Review: The Very First Touch-screen Smartphone To Invade The Digital World Of Mobiles [print this page] The iPhone stands out as the very first of the latest touchscreen smartphones, running Apple's operating-system. A large touch-sensitive screen showing icons changed the standard control keys and joysticks you would expect. The phone's screen is large with a breathtaking user interface. Steve Jobs, Apples CEO claims that iPhone is five years advance of the competition, after developing a play with the user interface you begin to see what Steve is trying to say. Touch on the name icon then the phone makes a call, to find the phonebook displaying just tap the phone's icon. Tapping the Photo's icon shows your photo album on the screen and as you may see it's very easy to use. The graphics and responsiveness of the interface will make you using your iPhone for several hours.
SmartPhones have not got the best popularity. Buggy platforms which makes them slower and hard to use. You just need to look at the N95, beautiful mobile phone with extraordinary gadgets but try to make a call. From time to time you will need to reboot so the person you are calling can obviously hear you. On the upside, numerous common problems could be solved by upgrading your phones software. Getting back to the iPhone, you will be happy to hear that it doesn't have any of such issues and is a total joy to try.
The iPhone is also an iPod. It has 8 gigabyte of memory built in which is sufficient to store more or less 2000 songs. The sounds like the iPod is beyond ready for the dustbin! Video is shown in the huge screen, even though this may swallow your memory. Songs can also be downloaded from iTunes on the move. The Safari internet browser is a good attribute of the iPhone and provides among the best mobile web function we have observed. The Google maps and built-in Wi-Fi support also complement the iPhone. Right now, for a few of the 'not so good points'. If you want to own one of these smartphones you should have enough cash. This really makes the iPhone an extremely expensive gadget compared to other touch-phones on stores.
The camera is really a measly 2 megapixel and lacks flash and autofocus. More like five years behind than 5 years advance the competition. Its basically a toy camera when you compare it to the Samsung G600, Nokia N95 or Sony Ericsson K850i. These are three of the five top selling phones, all with 5 megapixel cameras, autofocus and flash. Apple had made a big fault by misjudging how vital an excellent camera is to mobile phone users.
The iPhone is more of a net device than a phone. It's much user-friendly to surf or browse the internet or play some casual games than to make calls or SMS people. It took Apple, another player in mobile stores, to improve how the rest of the old players in the industry move forward in innovating mobile devices. Without the iPhone, we wouldn't have seen the likes of Sony Ericsson Xperia, LG dare, HTC Touch Diamond and Samsung Omnia today.
