The iPhone 3G has become a popular option among cell phone users because of its numerous advantages. The phone has become a template for other smart phones that have since been put on the market. Both technophobes that fear numerous enhancements and technophiles who love every element of new equipment can find their own benefits from its use.
Screens
Multi-touch screens require no buttons and function only with gentle contact. This feature covers any navigation of onscreen controls while generally needing fewer keystrokes to accomplish a task. Accelerometers change the screen resolution from portrait to landscape automatically as the phone turns horizontally. The 3.5-inch screen with its high resolution display is good for games. Multi-touch games offer opportunities for group gaming experiences that further use the screen.
Multimedia
Great sound quality is provided for calls and music. The device is multimedia friendly to accommodate music as well as Internet sites through its Safari browser. Streaming videos, movies and podcasts can all be seen or listened to on the device. A GPS locator that uses Google maps
is standard with the phone for quick directions while on the move. Examples of applications available include the AP Mobile News Network, which gives users news, sports, entertainment and business stories from around the world; and AroundMe, for a listings of nearby services such as banks, hospitals and restaurants. An action bar on the bottom displays all open iPhone content in addition to information like traffic reports. There are two memory choices for the phone, 8GB and 16GB.
Email is available through most services. The phone corrects any misspellings during typing and your keyboard writes in 21 languages. iPhone's homepage gives you access to any of Apple's content and widgets in an on-device portal. The widgets connect with Personal Information Manager Software that cuts down on data entry. This program speeds up the time it takes to write emails or texts. Addresses from any contact list can be put to use in widgets.
Creating Content
Users of the iPhone have several tools at their disposal to introduce new elements.
The iPhone Application Development Tool allows anyone to create personalized content. Xcode provides a system that can create and handle all steps of project development. DashCodes makes it possible to create web widgets for the phone's Safari operating system.
