Trust Apple to build the hype. I’ll bet no one and their uncle can do what Apple did with the iPhone. First call a press conference and give a stylish walkthrough of the phone features. Jaws on floor. Its Apple, baby. Everyone starts buzzing about the iPhone and how it is going to be a “breakthrough internet and communications device”. Everyone’s waiting for the next big thing after “electricity and sliced bread”. Everyone wants one. Steve’s rubbing his hands in glee…
The iPhone indeed is a pathbreaking mobile device and I wouldnt hesitate to call it the best phone in the world.It has its fair share of niggles, but then, which phone doesn’t? Lets take a better look.
Since this is not your usual hum-drum phone, and has many innovative features in it, I would like to talk about them first.
1)
Multi-touch (
Watch video)
With multi-touch you can flick, pinch AND tap. To zoom out of a photo, pinch, to zoom in, just reverse the pinching action. It senses touches by means of an electrical field and allows very natural actions. Supremely functional and all the girls could say was “WoW!” @ 150dB.
2)
OS X (
Watch Video)
The legendary,sexy Apple OS X on a phone!! You gotta be kidding me! Well, no i’m not. And somehow Apple seem to have got the whole integration very right. Its very multitasking friendly and I only wish there was someway to control all the running applications like on Symbian OS.
3)
Accelerometer (
Watch Video)
This has to be one of the coolest features on the phone! In essence it is a motion sensor, which detects whether the phone is vertical or horizontal. Accordingly it changes the viewing from Portrait to Landscape.(only in apps that support it, mind)
4)
Proximity Sensor (
Watch Video)
This is another cool feature. When you get a call, the screen and your cheek make all sorts of conact, and there might be inadvertent touches. So, in order to avoid that, we have a sensor which, during a call, turns of the touch screen and saves battery. How thoughtful.
