Apple iPhone: Apple of all Eyes

by dylan
Ever since its rumours started flowing about four years ago, Apple iPhone has been the most anticipated handset in the mobile phone arena. Finally released, this phone has been accepted with open arms and according to a projection about 10 million phones are expected to sell in less than 6 months! The furore that the handset created even before its release doesn't let this projection sound like an improbability.

The touch screen controls of the phone are its USP. The widescreen display (3.5 inches) allows its users to fully enjoy the movies, TV shows and music. Simply point a finger at the name of the number in your address book and voila! You get connected instantly. The QWERTY soft keyboard in the Apple iPhone is so much better than what you find in other smartphones, it is user friendly and even prevents and corrects mistakes! Conference calling too is possible by a mere touch of a button.

A photo management application accompanies the 2 MP camera that captures amazing stills and scintillating videos. Moreover, the iPhone has also incorporated within itself an HTML e-mail client, Safari browser, as well as built in Google and Yahoo! search. Google maps are easily and beautiful displayed on its lucid widescreen, enabling you to even focus on certain points.

The built-in sensors in the Apple iPhone detect whenever the user decided to switch from the landscape to portrait mode and vice versa, and fits the screen accordingly. The screen's brightness too is adjusted in accordance with the current ambient light, thereby saving the battery power of the handset.

The phone got released in the USA in June, 2007. Europe will be welcoming it in the fourth quarter of the same year, and in the Asian markets it will not be available before the onset of 2008.
