Apple iPhone Mobile Phone Review By Daniel Dwase...
Apple iPhone mobile phone features a 3.5 inch touch screen for navigating phone calls and playing songs and videos.
It combines features of the iPod -- viewing digital content such as movies, music and pictures -- with the ability to make phone calls, send e-mail and surf the Internet.
The phone automatically syncs your media -- movies, music, photos -- through Apple's iTunes Music Store. The device also syncs e-mail content, Web bookmarks and nearly any type of digital content stored on your computer.
The Apple iPhone mobile phone operates exclusively on AT&T Inc.'s Cingular wireless network. A 4-gigabyte model cost $499, while an 8-gigabyte iPhone is $599.
iPhone is less than a half-inch thin -- less than almost any phone on the market today. It comes with a 2-megapixel digital camera built into the back, as well as a slot for headphones and a SIM card. The phone runs Apple's OS X operating system, has the Safari browser for Internet searching and e-mail functions that can handle graphics and work with external services.
To make a call, you tap out the number on the onscreen keypad or scroll through your contacts and dial with a single touch.
The phone supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology and can detect location from Global Positioning System satellites.
It also can send and display e-mail and text messages. Apple is partnering with Yahoo Inc. on Web-based e-mail and Google Inc. on maps.
The functionality of the device seems like it's far beyond anything that's available today although the memory in the Apple phone is not sufficient.
