iPhone is the term which is mostly used in the gadget industry these days.Well i just wanted to go indepth why iphone was a big thing in this industry and may be it should have been much earlier that i should have given this article but still waited for the updates and usage of this gadget by the people and something which is being used for an year may have lot of feedbacks.So, For the past year and a half the gadget industry is been changed a lot. The Gadgets like iphone has changed the trend. Every individual wanted to have a look at iphone the moment it was announced to release. Well i wanted to have a clear picture like what exactly is iphone . How much it did impact on the market. According to me well it has changed lot of things.
Apple announced the iPhone on January 9, 2007,[19] after months of rumors and speculation.[20] The original iPhone was introduced in the United States on June 29, 2007 before being marketed worldwide. The development of this gadget has begun with Steve jobs and his apple engineers. The speciality is like it has the features of smart phone and multimedia and also touch screen. It has taken the touchscreen functionality to the next level.
The most interesting feature of this is touchscreen ability which was of 9 cm (3.5 in) liquid crystal display (320×480 px at 6.3 px/mm, 160 ppi, HVGA) with scratch-resistant glass,[39] and uses 18-bit colour (can render 262,144 colours).This has used the concept of Capacitive sensing as a human interface device (HID) technology. This phone has got 3 different types of sensors which makes this phone more special. People might think why not the touchscreen gets activated when some one is taking a call and phone comes near to the face logically it has to activate but this phone got some thing called PROXIMITY sensor which deactivates the touchscreen funtionality in these situations.Proximity sensor uses the concept of distance based activation.
An ambient light sensor adjusts the display brightness which in turn saves battery power. A 3-axis accelerometer senses the orientation of the phone and changes the screen accordingly, allowing the user to easily switch between portrait and landscape mode.[45] iPhone of first generation which was updated in jan 2008 has got wifi and Cell tower tracking capabilities. Now Iphone comes in 3G and 3GS with AGPS features.
Now i am going say about one diffect in iphone is the moist sensor which is embedded in the device such that it is easily exposed to the environment. Now the defect is like the sensor can be affected even from the moisture outside and from the sweat of the owner or in other way. The affected sensor says that the device is affected by water and doesn't come under warrenty.
Coming to the software which runs this device is iphone OS which.It is based on a variant of the same Darwin operating system core that is found in Mac OS X. Also included is the "Core Animation" software component from Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard. Together with the PowerVR hardware (and on the iPhone 3GS, OpenGL ES 2.0),[3] it is responsible for the interface's motion graphics.
Interface is the best thing which i like in iPhone. It is so elegant or beautiful to visualise which makes this device look vey high end gadget.For example, zooming in and out of web pages and photos is done by placing two fingers on the screen and spreading them farther apart or bringing them closer together, a gesture known as "pinching". You can access home page even when you are on a call or while listening to music. While in iphone there is not much multitasking.iPhone applications normally run one at a time..Coming to music it is much similar to ipod .
Even though iphone has got many features like internet access, multimedia or simply all the features of a smartphone there are some disadvantages with iphone.
First thing is like the only way to give an input is touchscreen many times you discomfort in using this touch screen specially in an emergency situations you want to type a message very fast , then you might face the problems using touch pad. And you cannot use MP3 files as ringtones and you cant exchange mp3 files using bluetooth.
Apple say Users can create custom ringtones from songs purchased from the iTunes Store for a small additional fee. The ringtones can be 3 to 30 seconds long from any part of a song, can fade in and out, pause from half a second to five seconds when looped, or loop continuously. All customizing can be done in iTunes,[98] or alternatively with Apple's GarageBand software 4.1.1 or later. Man this sounds crazy for me imagine a mobile which costs hardly 3000 Rs has feature of playing any mp3 file as a ringtone why not this high end costly mobile. This might be one of the reason why it is not being penetrated into the crowds of indian market.
And if any third party software you need to buy it from itunes man again this sucks . Coming to usage the device is so delecate that even a small scratch is easily visible makes the mobile look bad. Coming to Camera , now in the indian market harldy around 14000 to 18000 Rs you can get 5MP to 12MP mobiles but with iphone you get only 2MP and 3.5MP. What i say is look n feel matters only for few days but imagine a guy having a phone costing around 10,000 Rs and got a 5MP camera , bluetooth, 3G and Wifi which also access all the social networking sites , you will regret on buying this iphone.
* No removable battery. If the battery is broken, you send the phone to Apple instead of they sending you the battery. So no problem. Its definitely a disadvantage for the people who use a phone lot and rely on the extra battery.
Iphone has also got the problems with the network access. It totally doesnt support enterprise features which it says.
For me iphone is the best gadget i ever come accross in the matter of look n feel or usage of technology in its operations. But on daily usage i wont choose this phone as for each n every thing i need an internet access for accessing itunes, which we are not accustommed to. Somebody who is looking for a gadget which gives a look of very high end mobile they can go for this. Because the coming to multimedia features or smartphone features many other phones have got them.For me iphone is the best gadget i ever come accross in the matter of look n feel or usage of technology in its operations.
