subject: Why Getting An Iphone Is Great [print this page] In the world of telecommunications, the whole year has been all about touch screens, location-based software for GPS units and mobile applications. Apple took the whole world by storm when they released their own version of the smart phone - the iPhone. But is it really that good of a phone? Do you believe the hype? Do you find yourself wanting an iPhone enough that you wouldn't regret buying it in the future?
The truth is, you shouldn't get an iPhone just because it's the coolest gadget on the block up to date, or that it has been hailed as the "Jesus Phone" by many. In fact, you should get it because it's quite the practical devise apart from being quite nifty, stylish, and downright cool. Here are some reasons why you should get one this time around.
For starters, it's a cellular phone! If you don't have one already (and the chances are slim that you don't have one), then this is the phone to get. Even as a first phone it's great. It works particularly well and does all that Apple says it can do as a phone.
It's a mobile computer. Yes, you heard it right. This pocket consumer electronic gadget is something that can beat the pants out of many laptops and computers in the last ten years. Seriously, it does it all. You can browse the internet through it's own browser, send, receive, and read e-mails on several accounts. You can also stream your favorite videos from YouTube, find your way around town with it's maps application and so much more. That's practically what you do on your computer most of the time anyway.
It's all those things, and at the same time it's also an iPod. The one that stole Sony Walkman's iconic fame? The little music player that revolutionized the way people buy their music and listen to it? It's that tiny device that you can fit into your pocket and yet hold thousands of your favorite songs. That's the one, the iPod. The great thing about the iPod features on the iPhone is that they closely resemble usage of iTunes on your computer. You can still enjoy thousands of your favorite songs, browse through them by album, artist, song, or playlist, and you can prepare all this through iTunes. This is definitely one of the winning features of the iPhone. Oh, and video? Can do and it will allow you to download your favorite podcasts over WIFI or 3G.
It keeps you connected. With all the connectivity options on phones these days, it's tough to make a decision buying the iPhone right? Not exactly. The beauty about this phone is that it's easy to handle and quite convenient at providing solutions for people like you to stay connected. You can stay online through Edge, 3G or WIFI. Is there anything else you could ask for? In fact, quite simply put, that tiny little device has more connectivity options than the computer you're using right now to read this.
These are just some of the many reasons that you should get an iPhone should you get the opportunity. It keeps you ahead of many other technologies, keeps you practically up to date with the information you need, and you can make all the calls that you need to on a daily basis.
