subject: Iphone: Bringing The World In Your Grip [print this page] iPhone is a revolutionary Smartphone from the stable of Apple Inc. that enlivens a world of possibilities. The phone boasts of many new-age features developed by the iphone mobile application development team. The keynote characteristic of this device is the scratch resistant, 9-cm. glass screen that can not only display rich, full color images and video but also be used as the keypad of the phone: the icons on the screen can be replaced by numbers which can be used for finger-touch dialing as well.
Browsing through the menu lists of the phone can also be done by touch. Flicking the finger on the screen makes several menu pages to be sifted at a time, while moving it slowly along the screen results in a normal scrolling action. Such touch-sensitive technology makes interaction with the iPhone a true delight.
Another hi-tech highlight of the phone is the apps function that allows downloading of content that is relevant to a users lifestyle or profession. Examples of apps are infotainment such as news, maps, TV show schedules, recipes, music software, business and trading tips, camping and nature pocket-books etc. Introduced by Apple, apps are now being offered by many an independent software enterprise which describes itself as an blackberry application programming company.
The phone, which has inbuilt wireless-network access, also features a browser. Wireless connectivity to the internet can be set up in moments and the user is ready to experience the mobile version of his/her favorite websites. The high capacity data storage of the iPhone is also a milestone, given its compact size. The minimum is 8 GB. The user can store songs, video and voice recording apart from the usual phone numbers and MMS/SMS-messages. The large screen which acts as the eyepiece of the camera allowing for comfortable composition of images and video and a conveniently placed button makes photo and video-capture a cinch. The content displayed on the screen whether it is the phone menu, webpage or graphics re-orients itself automatically whenever the user switches holding the phone from along to across its length. All these marvelous features of the iPhone make way for the dawning of an entirely new and challenging era in the field of mobile application development.
