Before and after it was released, the iPhone created quite a hype. There are several reasons to explain why it made a massive impact on the technical-minded groups and beyond. The iPhone is different, gives out a powerful impression, packs advanced technology and is feature-rich, all in a single small-sized gadget. It’s a combination between a mobile phone and an iPod.

This ‘crossbreed’ invention operates on quad-band and supports EDGE technology for enhanced GSM functionality and standards. The Time magazine named the iPhone as its ‘Invention of the Year 2007.’

The iPhone has the ordinary caller ID, call holding, call merging, conferencing and other cellular network integration capabilities, in addition to its unique features. Further exploring the iPhone, the first noteworthy function is the visual voicemail feature. This handy function lets you access voicemail messages directly and individually, without scrolling numerous other messages before getting to the important one.

The iPhone also features the capability to surf the net. You are able to read your emails and synchronise your computer with your phone to share your bookmarks and other internet features. The iPhone uses the mobile browser Safari on it.

The iPhone can be a handy device if you are lost or stuck in traffic. You can access Google maps and find a way around the traffic or where you are. You are also able to get other traffic information directly.

Besides these nice functions that make life more convenient, the iPhone also has a 3.5 inch screen and it’s touch sensitive (touch-screen). The bigger screen allows better video quality and more workspace.

The iPhone display has a tri-sensory responder system: the first unit acts as a shut off device when the iPhone is too close to the user’s face. This is to prevent accidental entries from the user’s facial contours. The next sensory unit is the ambient light sensor, which adjusts the display brightness according to the environment. The final unit is a 3-axis accelerometre, which can sense the phone’s specific angle and change the screen suitably.

It is definitely a gadget that every gizmo-lover should have. It is able to connect to the internet and allows the user to watch and download movies, videos and music. But the primary function of the iPhone is still checking emails, because statistics show over 77% of iPhone owners mostly use it for email, browsing and downloading, in that exact order.
