The i-Phone
A Good Review of the PDA Cell Phone Product
With Games and Gadgets:
This Mobile Wireless Cellular
Product Should Compare in Price to the Samsung Mobile Camera Phone
Who
can use the iPhone name? 
Apple announced the iPhone at the MacWorld
event in San Francisco, but they may have to change
its name because of a company called Cisco.
Cisco has owned the trademark since
2000 since it bought Infogear Technology who registered the name.
Cisco who supplies networks
are suing Apple for trademark infringement for using
the iPhone name. Cisco’s linksys arm has employed the trademark
since early 2006, and in December they brought out their VoIP
phone which they called the iPhone.
Apple’s argument is that several companies
are already using the name iPhone for VoIP products. Apple
is the first company to use the name iPhone for a mobile phone
and are confident they will prevail over Cisco. 
But this confidence seems
to be lacking on the actual product itself. Apples iPod has ‘iPod’
engraved on the back, along with the iMac and the latest Apple
TV, yet the new iPhone is without its name.
NOTE: Iphone cards and apple iphone

Canada.
Apple’s products proudly display their
names somewhere on them, which is unusual when the showpiece for
this years Macworld is without its engraving. Apple’s confident
stance on the legal suit may be only for show, as from the looks
of the new iPhone, they were unsure from the beginning where they
stood on the matter in hand.
NOTE: Iphone cards and apple iphone

This mobile has been created in knowledge
of the fact that its ‘birth name’ may only be short lived.
There
may be a trademark loophole
Cisco holds the US and European
trademarks, but there could be a legal loophole which could strip
Cisco of its European rights. The law states that in Europe a person can lodge a revocation application against
a trademark registration if the trademark has not been used for
the past five years. So far there has been no evidence of
the iPhone trademark being used in Europe in the five years previous to the revocation application.
This leaves Cisco’s ownership of the trademark in Europe under threat.
As Apple has the oldest application for the trademark they would
be highly likely to then own the trademark in Europe.

There has been a similar loophole found
for the US trademark too! The law
states that to keep a trademark a company must file a declaration
of use to the US patents and trademarks office
by the 6th anniversary of the registration of the mark.
Although Cisco did this, the photographic evidence they produced
was an existing Cisco product with a sticker on the outside of
the package saying iPhone.

Apples
iPhone legal battle with Cisco not the first
Apple hasn’t seemed to have learned
from its last legal battle over the Mac name that trademarks are
costly to tamper with.
The start of this year proved quite
a nuisance for Apple, having to battle against Cisco to rightfully
call their product the ‘iPhone’. From the outset, it looked as
though Apple had covered their tracks by not actually engraving
the name of the phone on the back of the handset, and because
they are a massive company whose reputation covers them from faults
such as this, the Cisco battle seemed a minor problem, something
which Apple would have no problems sorting out. But it looks as
though this isn’t the only time they have been caught out over
trademark issues.
According to the biography
of former Apple CEO John Sculley, Odyssey: Pepsi to Apple, Jobs
launched the Mac in 1984 even though the “Mac” trademark belonged
to another company. In amongst the pages of his book, Scully states
that the Al (Eisenstat, Apple's general counsel) had argued at
full volume that Steve should pick another name for the computer.
Sculley doesn’t name the other company, but says “Steve prevailed,
but it ultimately cost us nearly $2 million in out-of-court settlements.”
NOTE: A Review of the

Cellular Product Should Compare in Price to the Samsung Mobile

The other company appears to be Management
and Computer Services inc, a small software company based in Philadelphia. To settle the trademark infringement,
Apple paid out an undisclosed sum according to a Jan. 24 report
from the Associated Press:
"Apple Computer Inc. will pay
an undisclosed sum to Management and Computer Services Inc. to
settle a trademark-infringement lawsuit, the companies said today.
The software company sued Apple for using 'Mac' to describe items
associated with its Macintosh personal computer. Management and
Computer Services uses 'Macs' as a trademark."
But this isn’t all! Apple also had
to pay McIntosh Labs to use the name. Early Mac literature says
"Licensed from McIntosh Laboratories, Inc.", but that
all changed when Apple bought rights to the name outright. At
the time prior to launch, the Macintosh name was such a respectable
name and adored by all, that Apple paid McIntosh Labs a never
disclosed amount of money for use of the name.
From the looks of things, it makes
you wonder who else Apple have ‘bought’ their names from, and
if there is any underlying legal battles waiting to rear their
heads.
Steve Jobs prefaced his introduction of the iPhone to the world by
saying, “This is a day I’ve been looking forward to for two-and-a-half
years.” And it’s safe to say that Mac users have been
pining after such a product for at least as long.

iPhone
details
Apple touts the iPhone as an iPod, a mobile phone, and an Internet communications
device all wrapped up in one. Perhaps it’s not a huge surprise from
a company that’s taken a large consumer electronics focus with the
iPod (and even dropped “computer” from its name) but the iPhone
is clearly big news.
Although it won’t be available until
June, and Apple plans to share more details about the iPhone in
the coming months, we got our hands on one for a short while,
and here’s an in-depth look at what we know
so far—focusing on
the new device’s capabilities as a phone, Internet-enabled device,
and widescreen iPod.
The phone like most of the Palm OS-,
Windows Mobile-, and Symbian OS-based smart phones on the market,
the iPhone has a touch-sensitive screen. But that’s pretty much
where the similarities end.
So
how is the iPhone different?
Instead of a small keyboard that’s
a standard part of the bottom of most smart phones, the iPhone
has no keyboard at all. Instead of a bevy of buttons on the front
to navigate and control features, the iPhone has a single Home
button on its front and just a few others on the sides—everything
else is controlled via changeable, onscreen buttons and icons.
Instead of a stylus, the iPhone uses your finger. And instead
of a scaled-down operating system to power it, the iPhone runs
a version of OS X. OS X? Which version?  
Apple isn’t saying, although when we
asked a company executive if it was a weird, not-really-OS-X
version of OS X, he replied: “This is OS X.” To be more
specific, it’s a version of OS X that’s been optimized for the
iPhone hardware. But Apple’s statements lead us to believe that
the iPhone runs a mostly recognizable version of OS X under the
hood. 
Tell me more about the iPhone’s screen. Won’t it
scratch easily?
Indications from Apple are that the
iPhone’s display is more scratch-resistant than that of the iPods.
The screen itself is a 3.5-inch, touch-sensitive display, which
has a resolution of 320-by-480 pixels at 160 pixels-per-inch.

So if there are no buttons, how do I make calls
on the iPhone?
Well, that’s where the rubber meets
the road, isn’t it? As Jobs said during his keynote, “What’s the
killer app [for the iPhone]? The killer app is making calls. It’s
amazing how hard it is to make calls on phones.” Having used various
smart phones in the past, we can attest to that frustration. 
NOTE: A Review of the PDA Cell
Phone Product With Games and Gadgets: This Mobile Wireless Cellular
Product Should Compare in Price to the Samsung Mobile Camera Phone
So here’s how the iPhone tackles phone-calling:
A click on the Home button takes you to the main window, at the
bottom left corner of which is the Phone app. A tap on that with your finger activates the
iPhone’s calling features. All this—and more—is possible thanks
to Apple’s patented Multi-Touch technology, which in addition
to letting you tap on icons also lets you use your finger for
fairly accurate typing that ignores unintended touches as well
as certain multi-finger gestures (more on that later).

To make a call, you can type a number
on the virtual keypad that appears at the bottom on the screen,
or chose a number from your list of contacts, favorites, or recent
calls. The iPhone lets you put a party on hold, and merge two
calls together into a conference call, with one touch of the screen.

What about ringtones?

Jobs demonstrated one ring tone during
his presentation— and the iPhone will ship with several of them.
But we don’t yet know whether you can assign different rings to
different people (as many other phones allow) or use your iTunes
music as ring tones.
NOTE: Iphone cards and apple iphone memory cards
reviews are at iphone.com and freenet forums from Canada.
What other calling features will the iPhone sport?
There are two we saw on display during
the keynote.
Voice mail. The iPhone takes a modern approach to voice mail. Instead
of dialing in to a voice mail system and listening to all your
queued up messages one by one, the iPhone's Visual Voicemail feature
displays a list of current voice mails, including the name of
who sent them and when they were sent. When you tap on any one
of them, that message plays. You can also choose to save or delete
them, one at a time. The entire effect is not unlike an e-mail
client for voice mail.
Sensors. A proximity sensor turns off the iPhone’s display
and the touch sensor when you bring the phone to your ear to prevent
accidental button activations. There’s also an ambient light sensor
that adjusts the screen’s brightness depending on the surroundings
(think of the MacBook Pro), and an accelerometer that senses when
you turn the iPhone from one orientation (landscape or portrait)
to the other—more on that later as well.
What are the iPhone’s tech specs?
The 4.5-by-2.4-by-0.46-inch (115-by-61-by-11.6-millimeter)
iPhone has no external antenna and weighs 4.8 ounces (135 grams).
It will come in two versions: a 4GB, $499 model and an 8GB, $599
model. Those capacities are the iPhone’s total storage for all
applications, photos, music, and videos.
The iPhone a quad-band GSM phone, which
means it’ll work in the U.S. as well as
many other parts of the world. (GSM—Global System for Mobile Communications—is
the dominant standard in most of the world, but in the U.S. only Cingular
and T-Mobile use it.) For wireless data, it can work with e-mail
and connect to the Internet using AT&T/Cingular’s EDGE network or with the phone’s built-in
802.11b/g Wi-Fi. The iPhone also includes Bluetooth 2.0/EDR capabilities.
But it isn’t clear yet if Bluetooth will be just for headsets
or if you’ll be able to use it for syncing data with your computer,
or whether you’ll be able to sync via Wi-Fi. One thing Apple did
tell us is that you won’t be able to use the iPhone as a wireless
Bluetooth modem for a laptop on the road, for example (at least
that’s the current plan). Jobs also noted that Apple will release
models with third-generation (3G) wireless data capabilities in
the future—3G networks are faster than AT&T/Cingular’s EDGE network. Wait—AT&T/Cingular?
Does that mean I have to use Cingular as my iPhone service provider?
Yes. Both iPhone models will require
a two-year contract with AT&T (formerly known as Cingular),
the exclusive U.S. carrier. Apple
has no plans to release a version of the iPhone without a service
contract or one that is unlocked. Both models will be available
beginning in June from Apple Stores and from AT&T/Cingular.
So there’s just the one Home button
on the iPhone’s front. What other switches and features does the
phone’s case have?
On the front of the iPhone, just above
the screen, is a small slit for a speaker -- the one you'll hold
to your ear when you're talking. The back of the iPhone sports
a camera lens for its two-megapixel digital camera. On one side
are a pair of volume control buttons and a switch that lets you
toggle between an audible ring and silent operation (no word on
if the iPhone will vibrate). The top has a 3.5-millimeter headset
and audio jack, a card for the phone's SIM card (which
identifies you to the cellular network), and a sleep-wake toggle
button. On the bottom, there’s a loudspeaker (for audio playback
and speakerphone), a microphone, and a 30-pin iPod dock connector
(just like the one on dockable iPods).
NOTE: A Review of the PDA Cell
Phone Product With Games and Gadgets: This Mobile Wireless Cellular
Product Should Compare in Price to the Samsung Mobile Camera Phone
And for travelers, there’s a selection
in the iPhone’s settings called Airplane Mode. Activating it turns
off all the radios inside the iPhone (cellular, Bluetooth, and
WiFi), making it safe to use the iPod and PDA features while in
flight. 
What
about accessories? Will they be as numerous as the iPods’?
Not at first, but give it time. Near
the end of his Macworld Expo presentation, Jobs mentioned just
two accessories: stereo headphones with integrated microphone,
and a Bluetooth headset that pairs automatically with the iPhone
and goes to sleep to preserve battery life. Without a doubt, we’ll
see other innovative iPhone add-ons—not just from Apple, but other
third-party developers as well.
The Internet-enabled device
Steve Jobs made it clear that the iPhone
belongs in the smart phone category, as a product that does much
more than just make and take calls.
Like what?
Like this:
E-mail. One
of the most important features of a smart phone is its ability
to send and receive e-mail. The iPhone tackles mail head-on with
an HTML e-mail client supporting rich HTML and inline images,
and resembling OS X’s Mail app. It works with POP3 or IMAP e-mail accounts,
lets you choose a split-view approach (with your inbox on top
and selected message on the bottom), includes standard e-mail
folders, and parses phone numbers in e-mail messages for quick
phone dialing. In addition, Apple has partnered with Yahoo to
provide free Blackberry-style “push” IMAP e-mail—which automatically
notifies you whenever you have new mail, without your having to
manually check—to all iPhone customers. Of course, that may mean
you’ll need to switch to a Yahoo e-mail address to reap the benefits
of that feature.
SMS Messaging. The iPhone
also includes a full SMS text-messaging client that looks nearly
identical to iChat. Unfortunately, the version of the software
that Apple showed didn’t let you connect to the AIM instant-messaging network; it worked
only with SMS messages. Many cellular phone plans charge a premium
for text messages, although it’s unclear whether that will be
true of the AT&T/Cingular calling plans available for iPhone
users. 
PDA. Another component
of any smart phone is its PDA capabilities—storing and displaying
your contacts, phone numbers, appointments, notes, and so on.
Like many smart phones, the iPhone looks to be quite capable of
tackling all this and more. There’s an iCal-like Calendar app
for appointments, and a Contacts section within the Phone application
where you’ll find contacts’ phone numbers, addresses, and the
like. So how do you get all your contacts and appointments onto
the iPhone? Fear not—you won’t have to input everything by hand
(or, as the case may be, by finger). The iPhone will sync data,
using the familiar iPod-syncing interface within iTunes, with
a Mac or PC just like an iPod does. Presumably, that means the
iPhone can sync with OS X’s Address Book and iCal apps on the
Mac, as well as contacts with Outlook Express or calendars and
contacts with Outlook on Windows PCs. There’s also a Notes application
on the iPhone, but Jobs didn’t say much about it, and it was non-functional
on the iPhone we played with.
Widgets As miniature
apps, Apple’s Dashboard widgets seem like a great match for the
iPhone. Jobs showed two that he said will be on the iPhone—Stocks
and Weather. The Stocks widget can display multiple stock quotes
as well as show percentage changes. The Weather widget can have
multiple windows for different cities, and you move between them
by swiping your finger across the screen. These widgets auto-connect
to the Internet to update.
There may be more Widgets once the
iPhone launches. Or Apple (or third-party developers, if they’re
allowed) may offer additional widgets at some point.
Web Browser Unlike other smart phones,
which run browsers that are anything but full-featured, the iPhone
includes a version of Safari. Apple calls it ;“the first fully-usable
HTML browser on a phone”—it can load standard Web pages (not scaled-down
WAP versions) complete with images and formatting. You can navigate
around a page by dragging your finger to scroll and “pinching”
(drawing two finger together or apart on the screen), or double-tapping
will zoom in or out on a section. You can even open multiple Web
sites at once, and move between them at will. Rotating the iPhone
automatically switches its screen to landscape mode. 
NOTE: Iphone cards and apple iphone memory cards
reviews are at iphone.com and freenet forums from Canada.
Google Maps Apple worked closely with
Google on several aspects of the iPhone. The Safari browser includes
a Google search bar (like the standard Safari), but the phone
also includes a Google Maps application. With it, you can map
out destinations, search for local businesses, save and access
favorites, and view satellite imagery of mapped locations. (Google
Maps isn’t exclusive to the iPhone—the company makes a free app
for Palm Treos, for example, that provides similar functionality.)
All this sounds like a lot of data
entry. How do I type on a buttonless phone?
Use the onscreen keyboard.
Both the e-mail and chat modes use this feature for text input.
Although the keyboard doesn’t offer tactile feedback, making error-free
input more difficult than a hardware keypad, the iPhone features
automatic error detection and text prediction—even if you do make
a mistake, the software will often fix it before you notice. In
our brief hands-on time with an early iPhone, we found that single-finger
typing actually worked quite well. (Although the iPhone doesn't
offer tactice feedback for typing, it does offer visual feedback
-- when you press a key, it enlarges, as if it's rising up to
meet your finger.)
What about the
camera on the iPhone? What can I do with that?
The iPhone camera’s 2-megapixel sensor
is small by digital-camera standards, but impressive for a mobile
phone. The camera uses the screen for (very large) image framing,
and the phone’s software includes a photo-management application
that lets you browse your photo library or view individual photos
in full-screen mode. This app takes advantage of the touchscreen
by letting you “swipe” images left or right to cycle through them,
or pinch images to zoom in or out (as with the version of Safari
on the iPhone). There's no word on whether the iPhone will also
be able to capture video.
How
about third-party apps for the iPhone?
It’s unclear. Although the iPhone runs
a version of OS X, developers won’t necessarily be able to modify
their apps for the iPhone and release them into the wild. In an
interview with the New York Times after the keynote, Jobs said
the Apple will “define everything that is on the phone.”
What
Other Companies Can Do With the iPhone
Similar to the iPod’s games, other
companies will be able to create software for the iPhone, but
Apple will be the gatekeeper (such as with the Google and Yahoo
software that will be included on the iPhone).

Our best guess is that third-party
developers will be able to write software for the iPhone, but
not with the freedom that they currently enjoy when it comes to
Mac development. Apple may allow more freedom for the installation
of simple widgets, while tightly restricting the release of full-blown
applications. 
We envision a model similar
to those you see on gaming platforms, in which third-party developers
can create software, but it must be approved and controlled by
the hardware manufacturer (in this case, Apple) before it's released
to the general public. In the end, we think the iTunes Store will
most likely be the only place where you'll be allowed to buy iPhone
software.

The
iPod
As an iPod, the iPhone’s functionality
is similar to that of a fifth-generation (5G) model. In addition
to playback of the standard array of music-file formats, the iPhone
can display photos as well as play video. There are several key
differences.

Like navigation, for starters. Notably
absent from the iPhone is the iPod’s famous Click Wheel; to navigate
through your media and control playback, you use the iPhone’s
touch-sensitive screen. To find a particular song, for example,
you tap on the Music item, tap on the Songs item, then move your
finger up or down the screen to scroll the song list up or down;
a flick of your finger down the screen gives the scroll momentum
to scroll more quickly. If you don’t want to scroll through all
your music to get to a certain section, you can also tap your
finder on any letter of the alphabet from the list displayed on
the side of the screen to jump directly to items beginning with
that letter. (Because of the small size of the letters, however,
accurate jumps were somewhat difficult to achieve during in our
brief time with the iPhone—but we did bypass a lot of scrolling.)
Once you’ve found the song you’re looking
for, tap the track’s name to start it playing. Even with the different
method of control, the menu system and media-browsing system are
recognizably iPod.

Tell
me about the screen on the iPhone. 
Gladly. When turned horizontally, the iPhone is the first iPod
to offer wide-screen viewing. (The built-in accelerometer comes
in handy here, since it recognized when you’re turned the iPhone
and adjusts video accordingly.) The screen measures 3.5 inches
diagonally, with physical dimensions of 2.9 by 1.9 inches. That's
not quite a cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio (it's more like 3:2),
but it's wider than the current iPod aspect ratio.

A double-tap on the iPhone's
screen will toggle between a zoomed-in view, in which the video
fills the screen, and a letterboxed view, with black bars at the
top and the bottom.
Apple has taken advantage of the iPhone’s
impressive screen to add other media capabilities as well.

The Album Art Display
For example, album art display is much
larger than on current iPods. And when browsing music with the
iPhone oriented horizontally, the iPhone provides an optional
CoverFlow mode just like in iTunes 7—drag your finger across the
screen to flip through album covers to find music.
Sounds
great—will other iPods soon add that widescreen capability?
Apple may have unveiled the iPhone
six months in advance of its release, but that doesn’t signal
a shift in the company’s long-standing policy about future plans
for products—it doesn’t reveal them. That said, we’re hoping that
this design becomes part of the next iPod, perhaps with the cellular components replaced by a large hard drive
but with Bluetooth for wireless headphones and WiFi for direct-to-iPod
purchases from the iTunes Store. When will that happen? Only the
higher-ups at Apple could tell you with any certainty. And they're
not talking. 
I thought the iPhone had a hard drive.
No, like the iPod nano, the iPhone includes 4GB or 8GB of flash-based
memory, much more compact when compared to the considerably more
spacious 1.8-inch hard drives found in 5G iPods. Although using
flash memory helps prolong battery life, the iPhone’s small storage
capacity is an interesting limitation for a device with video-viewing
capabilities. (Full-length movies easily top 1GB, meaning you
shouldn't expect to carry too many on an iPhone.) There’s also
no slot for expanding the iPhone’s internal memory with extra
flash cards.
Are
there any similarities between the iPod and the iPhone?
The iPhone retains the 30-pin dock-connector port present
since the third-generation iPod, which means that many existing
dock-connector-based iPod accessories may work with the iPhone
right away. However, others will need to be redesigned. One big
issue with the iPhone is that, as a cellular phone, it's broadcasting
wireless signals that the iPod never did. That means that some
accessories will need to be redesigned with shielding, so that
they don't pick up radio interference from the iPhone.
NOTE: Iphone cards and apple iphone memory cards
reviews are at iphone.com and freenet forums from Canada.
Since it uses the dock connector, we’d
guess that you’ll be able to charge it from a computer’s USB port or using
an AC adapter. 
You mentioned charging the battery. What kind of
battery performance can I expect from the iPhone?

One of the problems with
converged devices such as smart phones is battery life—with so
many great functions, it’ll be easy to run down the battery without
even noticing. Apple told us the iPhone will contain a single
battery (which, like the iPod, you can’t remove or swap) to power
all aspects of its operation. The company also says the battery
will last up to five hours for talk, video playback, or Internet
browsing, and up to 16 hours for audio playback. (The iPod nano, for comparison, is rated for up
to 24 hours of audio playback, and the 80GB iPod can play up to
six-and-a-half hours of video.) In any event, you’ll need to exercise
some good judgment if you want to ensure that you have enough
juice left for your phone once you’re done listening to music,
browsing the Web, or watching video. 
The last word. The iPhone breaks new
ground for Apple, but it also takes its cue from the expertise
Apple garnered and lessons it learned from the iPod—one of the
most successful consumer electronics products in recent memory.
In the coming months, Apple will probably parcel out additional
bits of information about the iPhone (and when Apple brings it
to Europe in the fourth calendar quarter of 2007, and to
Asia in 2008).
But one thing is already clear: Apple has again done what it seems
to do best—take a product that exists and give it the polish and
attention to detail it deserves. 
Apple iPhone hands-on: Pros and cons

During a Q&A with Apple's vice
president of iPod products Greg Joswiak, I finally got to play
briefly with one of the highly-anticipated iPhones.
 
Announced yesterday at the Macworld
Expo in San Francisco, there are only two iPhones
on public display at the convention, both of which are currently
rotating on podiums in the main hall, sealed in plastic bubbles
and displaying automated demonstrations of its capabilities to
crowds of onlookers.

Unfortunately
photography was not permitted in the hands-on demo, but I'll
try to share my experience during the hasty test period.

The iPhone is one of the most elegant
and ravishing phones I've seen so far, due largely to its simple,
sleek design and impeccable, intuitive user interface. While fashion
phone fans used to teensy handsets might disagree, the iPhone
doesn't feel too unwieldy and at just under 12mm thick, it is
certainly pocketable. Gliding your finger from left to right on
the lower half of the screen unlocks the iPhone and presents you
with the Home screen widgets (mini-applications): Text, Calendar,
Camera, Photos, Camera, Calculator, Stocks, Maps, Weather, Notes,
Clock and Settings.
NOTE: Iphone cards and apple iphone memory cards
reviews are at iphone.com and freenet forums from Canada.
At the bottom
of the screen are the iPhone's four final functions (for now):
Phone, Mail, Web and iPod.
Although the iPhone runs a version
of Mac OS X "optimized for the handheld experience",
Joswiak explains it's not an open platform and any updates to
applications or software will come through Apple. This closed
model, although secure, means you can't install additional custom
or third-party apps--does this mean it isn't defined as a smartphone?
It's a model that Joswiak says will continue in the foreseeable
future.

While the 89mm screen takes up the
vast majority of the front of the device, housed beneath it is
the inward curving Home button, which for some reason I thought
would be touch sensitive; however, it's clickable. While the room
we were in was dimly lit and conducive to making displays look
vibrant, the screen didn't fail to impress. It is bright, colourful
and seems like a very high resolution for its size. 
To get an idea of how to
type messages on a buttonless phone, I ducked into SMS. The text
message list is grouped by sender. Going into a thread shows a conversation
history (both sent and received messages) in cute coloured speech
bubbles. Using two thumbs to type a quick couple of words, the touch-sensitive
QWERTY worked well--my accuracy might have been better if I had
longer than 3 minutes with the phone. However, I think the virtual
keys and the lack of a tactile click feeling won't be everyone's
preferred way of text entry.
Next up I wanted to test the pinch
and stretch zooming using two fingers, so I went into the Web
function where a US newspaper's Web site (New York
Times, perhaps) loaded on the screen. In portrait orientation
the headlines were barely legible, but with a quick stretch gesture
the screen zoomed in and re-rendered the screen in around a second,
making its pictures and headlines crisp.

With other journalists in the room
still waiting to have their turn with the iPhone, I quickly went
back to the Home screen--the Home button gets you back here from
anywhere almost instantly--and into Maps. Google provides the
mapping service widget. A map of the local San Francisco area
swiftly appeared and a red push-pin marker dropped from the top
of the screen to mark the location, although we're not sure if
that was a bookmark or if the iPhone was approximating our location
with triangulation from mobile phone towers--something to check
on the show floor later.
NOTE: Iphone cards and apple iphone memory cards

Orientation changes as expected when
the iPhone is tipped on its side, allowing you to see Web sites,
videos, maps and photos in landscape mode. Multi-touch is a fantastic
feature for zooming in and out and panning. Apple isn't mentioning
how much system memory is onboard, but we didn't notice much of
a lag between menus or applications--mind you we didn't push the
iPhone's multi-tasking abilities to the extreme.  
We were unable to demo the synching
process with iTunes, and are disappointed that Wi-Fi can't be
used for synching or for direct communication with other iPhones,
the latter being one of the major selling points for Microsoft's
Zune. Joswiak claimed an advantage of the wired connection is
that it's faster and that it charges the device at the same time.

Will the iPhone be a success? Undoubtedly
it will be in the US if comments by Macworld attendees
are any measurement, but a lot could happen between now and the
time it takes for the iPhone to launch in Australia, which representatives
from Apple Australia could not
narrow down from Steve Jobs' "2008 in Asia".

Addressing the iPhone's
lack of 3G connectivity at a time when HSDPA services are flourishing
internationally and the impact of future WiMAX technology, Joswiak
said that Apple "made some choices that make sense today".
Reports of poor battery life could potentially have hurt Apple
if it chose to go with 3G from the get-go. Certainly the iPhone
is an amazing device and credit must go to Apple for its seamless
integration of hardware and software. But what impact will the iPhone's Wi-Fi limitations, closed system,
wide and long design, and lack of next-generation mobile technology
have on sales?
Apple iPhone
By Kent German and Jasmine France, CNET News.com
10/01/2007
URL: http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/mobilephones/0,39051200,61980298,00.htm
Heads exploded in the tech world after
Apple CEO Steve Jobs finally announced the long-awaited Apple
iPhone during his Macworld 2007 keynote in San Francisco. The iPhone, as Jobs proudly
dubbed the device to thunderous applause (take that, Linksys),
will be three devices in one: A cell phone, a widescreen iPod
with touch controls, and an Internet communications device. Cellular
operator Cingular is the lucky carrier (apparently the companies
have patched up their relationship following the Motorola ROKR
bust) in the US. We haven't gotten to hold
an iPhone yet, but we're just as excited as the next person to
finally write down our first thoughts, and we won't sleep until
we get our hands on one. Check back near the product's US June release date for our full
review.
Availability
As has been widely rumored for months,
Cingular (soon to be AT&T) will be the sole iPhone carrier
in the US. Both Apple and Cingular stores
will sell the phone starting in June. Europe will get it in the fourth quarter, and Asia will have
to wait until next year. Finally, the U.S. gets something
first!
Good thing we have a few months to
save our pennies. The 4GB model will cost US$499 with a two-year
contract and US$599 for the 8GB version (also with a two-year
contract). Again, that's a bit high when compared to other carrier-supported
music phones such as the Sony Ericsson W810i, particularly since
you're locked into a contract with one carrier.
NOTE: Iphone cards and apple iphone memory cards
reviews are at iphone.com and freenet forums from Canada.
Design
To be successful, an Apple phone has
to sport an iconic Apple design--the ROKR's dull design did it
no favors. Fortunately, Apple fulfilled our expectations this
time with a smooth design and an innovative interface. Say good-bye
to traditional cell phone buttons--this phone is all touch screen,
all the time. 
With only one hardware control (a "home"
key), iPhone's real estate is dominated by a huge, 3.5-inch display.
From what we call tell, the device looks beautiful with a resolution
of 320x480x160 pixels per inch (the highest iPod resolution yet,
according to Jobs). The videos and photos look great, and we love
that the "smart" screen shifts automatically to a landscape
orientation when you start to play a video. One giant touch screen
controls the phone, and no stylus is needed ("Yuck,"
Jobs said). Use your fingers
to type messages and e-mails on an onscreen keyboard--Jobs promises
onscreen typing will be faster than on a standard smart-phone
keypad, but we'll believe that theory when we actually get a device
in our hands. (And speaking of yuck, what about all that finger
grease?) But we admit the scrolling feature looks especially
promising as Jobs had only to slide his finger across the display.

Of course, such a large display makes
for a large phone: iPhone measures 114.3 x 61 x 11.7 mm. No, it
won't slide into smaller pockets, but it joins the similarly sized
Palm Treo 750, and its weight (136g) is mostly standard for a
handset of this size. Of course, the slim profile is noteworthy
as well. We're a tad surprised Apple has jumped on the thin phone
bandwagon, but trim design, after all, is the cell phone trend
of the day. As Jobs made clear, iPhone is thinner than both the
Motorola Q and the Samsung Ultra Messaging i600. 
NOTE: Iphone cards and apple iphone memory cards
reviews are at iphone.com and freenet forums from Canada.
Features
Though we're pleased Apple made it
a quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) world phone, we're disappointed
the iPhone's data support tops out at 2.5G EDGE networks. Considering the multimedia-friendly
feature set, the omission of any 3G compatibility is a bit bizarre,
particularly since operators are increasingly offering UMTS and
HSDPA.
We wouldn't normally spend
much time on voice mail, but Apple pulled a new trick out of its
hat with Visual Voicemail. Rather than forcing you to call your
voice mail and waiting to browse through multiple messages to
hear the one you want, Visual Voicemail displays all the messages
you have in a list, similar to an e-mail in-box. All you have
to do is select the message you want and listen away.
It's tough to truly evaluate the iPhone's
capability as a music and video player without some hands-on experience,
but a cursory look at the product shots and details gives us some
idea; that, and the fact it's closely related to the highly rated
iPod music player. In short, the iPhone is sure to offer an easy-to-use
media playback interface, and the breadth of content offered by
iTunes (its compatible service) ensures you'll never be wanting
for music or video files. Of course, the touch-screen interface
will take some getting used to for users who are accustomed to
the iPod's Clickwheel.

The iPhone, which will be offered in
4GB and 8GB capacities (flash memory), doesn't have any restrictions
on how much of that memory you choose to fill up with media content--no
100-track limit, as is the case with the Motorola ROKR. The convergence
device also takes a step away from its iPod brethren by offering
a built-in mic for audio recordings. And unlike most cell phones,
the iPhone offers a standard 3.5mm audio jack, which will work
with all mainstream stereo headphones. There's no FM radio but
that's nothing new from Apple.
One thing is for certain: The 3.5-inch
wide-screen display is much better for full-length movie-viewing
than the 5G iPod's comparatively paltry 2.5-inch screen. And Apple's
new partnership with Paramount really helps to fill out the
movie category in iTunes. If there's anything we have to complain
about, it's that the video player isn't offered as a standalone
device, sans the phone capability, (which is sure to mark up the
premium on the price). Of course, if that happens, we'd like to
see something above the max 8GB of memory. iTunes content and
video load on the phone is via a USB computer connection--unfortunately,
as far as we know there are no wireless downloads--and the iPhone
comes with an iPod connector.
What
Are Some Operating System Features of the iPhone?
Beyond the music player, the iPhone
runs on Mac OS X and promises a 2.0-megapixel camera, a photo-management
tool that rotates the display for landscape photos (like with
videos), support for Google Maps, conference calling, a speakerphone,
and text and multimedia messaging.
Personal
Organizer Applications
We imagine there will be personal organizer
applications as well, but Jobs kept mum on such fine details.
Connectivity options also look promising with stereo Bluetooth
(thankfully), Wi-Fi (a huge plus), POP3 and IMAP4 e-mail, and a Safari Web
browser. The free push Yahoo e-mail app looks especially cool
since we won't have to wait for syncing with a PC.
Special
Sensors of the iPhone
The iPhone also comes with some unique
sensors that detect how you're using the phone and change the
display accordingly. A proximity sensor knows when you bring the
phone to your ear and then dims the screen and shuts off the touch
screen. The ambient light sensor adjusts brightness and saves
power, and the accelerometer knows when to switch between landscape
and portrait orientation.
NOTE: Iphone cards and apple iphone memory cards

Sensors. A proximity
sensor turns off the iPhone’s display and the touch sensor when
you bring the phone to your ear to prevent accidental button activations.
There’s also an ambient light sensor that adjusts the screen’s
brightness depending on the surroundings (think of the MacBook
Pro), and an accelerometer that senses when you turn the iPhone
from one orientation (landscape or portrait) to the other—more
on that later as well.

Outlook
After months of iPhone speculation, we were sick of the device even
before it came out. But now, well, we have to admit it's quite
lovely. The vivid display is especially attractive, and we like
the sleek, minimalist design. The touch screen may involve a learning
curve, but we're excited to try it out. The iPod functionality
will no doubt draw many, and in particular, we're glad to see
world phone support, the Yahoo e-mail app, stereo Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi.
On the downside, we were hoping for
wireless iTunes music downloads. And it's too bad Apple stopped
short of 3G support. Also, we're hoping that Apple introduces
a standalone touch-screen iPod without the phone element as not
everyone will want a convergence device. And here's the biggest
caveat: Phones are only as good as the calls they make, so we'll
have to wait for our final assessment once we get a review product.
As for battery life, Apple is promising five hours for calling
or video and 16 hours in music mode.
Overall, however, and despite the high
price, we predict an iPhone success. The iPhone will garner interest
simply because it exists, and as such has great potential to move
music phones into the mainstream. Nokia's Xpress music phones
and Sony Ericsson's Walkman handsets present a strong challenge
on some level, but Samsung's new Ultra Music probably stands to
take the biggest hit if the two devices go head-to-head.
iPhone combines three products — a
revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls,
and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class
email, web browsing, maps, and searching — into one small and
lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely
new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering
new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers.
So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never
before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you
can do on a mobile phone.
Apple Inc.’s much-ballyhooed iPhone
was unveiled this week after 30 months and millions of dollars
in top-secret development. But the sleek new iPod-cellular phone
combination could wind up costing the company a lot more.
