The Best of Every World: The iPhone
There is no doubt that Apple has revolutionized the computer world. Most college-aged individuals can remember back to the green-screen Mac computers of middle school, but Apple has come a long way. From the iMac to the PowerBook, Apple desktops and laptops have set the standard for audio and video supremacy, and most art school students cannot survive without one.
Apple access at multimedia, film editing software, song playback and graphic design, and the company has worked hard in recent years to make its hardware more compatible with the rest of the world, making it easier for Apple users to connect to PC users. The success of the iPod, Apple’s trend-setting mp3 player, made Apple’s name a status symbol, and it was not long before the company decided to branch out even further. Early in 2007, Apple introduced the concept of the iPhone, providing that there really is no place that Apple cannot go.
All-in-One for Everyone
The iPhone, released in June of 2007, is one of the most versatile cell phone devices available anywhere in the market. A cell phone and an iPod all-in-one, the device offers a touch screen, virtual keyboard and shortcut buttons. It functions as a camera, an mp3 player and an internet browser with the use of Wi-Fi connectivity. And like all cell phones, it offers text messaging and voicemail.
The iPhone is better than most older iPods. Users can play videos, watch television and full movies and even download music directly from iTunes right unto the device using the Wi-Fi feature. Users can sort music and videos according to songs, artists, albums and genres, and they can even view the album art for most of their mp3s. The device is available with multiple hard drive sizes, from 4gb to 16gb, although the 4gb model is being discontinued.
With so much space, it is no wonder that so many software programs have been developed for use with the iPhone. The iPhone uses a version of the OS X operating system, the same that is used on Apple’s regular computers. This allows programs such as iTunes and Safari to run smoothly, although these programs have to be specifically developed for the device; the regular OS X versions will not work with the iPhone due to the difference in the processor used. However, many third-party companies have already begun developing new and better programs for use with the device, hoping to cash in on the phenomenon and broaden the usage of their software.
