iPhone: A down to earth - decent review part 1
From the first time iPhone has hit the stores, critics and journalists have started reviewing the product.
iPhone is far by brilliant and perfect but it has certain extraordinary features, that might make you ask: Is it really possible?
Firstly, the iPhone is an iPod, different types of media format being available, including music, videos or photos. Even YouTube videos are accessible on the clear high resolution screen. Google Maps features benefit from easy previews of aerial photos for any kind of worldwide address, though it doesn’t know directly your exact location.
As most of us are keyboard extremists and communists, iPhone’s keyboard enables us to browse through its virtual large keys quite easily. The large keys become larger when you touch them. You also have an auto-fixer if by chance you misspell certain words. Nevertheless it’s not so sophisticated as BlackBerry’s, because you have to switch to another keyboard when inserting a comma or a period. This can definitely be a drawback.
Internet Browsing proves quite efficient, displaying entire web pages in their original layouts, allowing its users to zoom quickly by either tapping or pinching with their finger. Multiple pages can be opened at the same time, and you can conduct Yahoo and Google searches from a built-in search box.
The &499 iPhone model comes with over 4GB of memory, whilst the $599 model has 8 GB. Though it’s less than the standard iPods and it doesn’t have a slot for memory-expansion cards, there still remains some room left.
E-mail systems are pretty attractive, users can connect to the vast majority of e-mail services, including Gmail, AOL or Yahoo. If business people want their corporate mail on their iPhone, they just have to contact their IT department to enable such a setting on the server. Unlike most phone email software, iPhone displays a preview of each message. If by chance, there is a photo attached, it shows the photo automatically, without having you to click on a link to see it. It can also receive and open Microsoft Word and Excel documents and Adobe PDF files. But it doesn’t allow you to edit or save these files.
