Apple iPhone: The Gadget of the Decade

There was a big buzz on the Internet world and offline market even before iPhone was launched by Apple Inc. The long wait was over come January 2007 when iPhone was released in the United States in Apple stores and AT&T stores, creating a gigantic sales of thousands of units just on its first week.

What is the big fuzz about the iPhone? If you have this gadget, you would no longer carry with you an iPod or a PDA. The iPhone works as a fully functional cell phone, a pocket computer and a media player. That’s three powerful devices in just one package.

One of the reasons why iPhone created a big following is because of its touch screen properties. It is one of the first devices that employ multi-touch. You won’t need a stylus any longer. With just your fingers, you can give out commands with just a tap or a swipe of your fingers.


For video lovers and those who love to surf the Internet, browsing and movie viewing would be a better experience with an iPhone. It has a 3.5 inches touch screen display with 320 x 480 pixels and 16M colors. It is one of the biggest screens in the market today.

As for cell phone functions, it has all the things you need including text messaging, voice calls, phone book, call logs, polyphonic ringtones and a lot more. It can also transform from a cell phone to an iPod player. Just attach a 3.5 mm headset jack or turn on its speakers for your viewing and listening pleasure.

If you are a web addict, the iPhone is the best mobile gadget for you. It has Wi-fi capabilities, Bluetooth technology and USB connectivity. iPhone works with Mac OS X and a Safari web browser. It can also double up as a camera phone with 2 megapixels. The iPhone also includes Google Maps, calendar, to-do list, TV output, photo viewer and editor, voice memo and has Widget support. Apple Inc., makers of the iPhone, is set to offer a newer version of the gadget- the 3G iPhone, within the year.
