The manager from Apple said that the concurrent like Treo and Blackberry are 5 years back in technology. Everyone knows Apple is right because it is a revolution in the cell phone technology. You have only one button on your iPhone to turn On an Off. Isn’t it nice to be free for all those small buttons on our cell phones?

 

The most important question is when you will actually be able to get this device in your hand. This is where the bad news starts. Even though the iPhone has been in development internally at Apple for quite awhile, the manufacturing process of selecting partners to create the device has been a slow and painful process that began in March and may need a while longer to spin up. The good news is we will see the iPhone very soon — very, very soon in 2 weeks.

 

We have been waiting for so many months for iPhone and in June will be time for that. Everyone likes iPhone from Apple! People are looking for stores to buy the iPhone right now.

 

The iPhone will be released in June 2007 and you will be able to buy the device only in the United States. People in Europe have to wait to next year 2008.

 

iPhone price:

 

4GB of Hard Drive 499$

8GB of Hard Drive 599$

 

When the iPhone is released in June 2007, you will be able to buy your iPhone through Cingular. Keep in mind that you will have to sign a 2 years contract with Cingular. No information is available at this point on if you will be able to buy it at a higher price without the 2 years contract or if you will be able to break a contract you have with Cingular to renew it with an iPhone. You will probably have to assume a penalty for the cellular phone you bought at a discounted price.

Apple will probably sell the iPhone through their online store as well but we haven’t seen a “Buy iPhone now” logo yet! I am sure in 2 weeks we will be able to get more information about it.

 


Some about iPhone

 

The iPhone is a black device that is nearly featureless on the front except the dock and a couple of other buttons. On the bottom is what appears to be a standard dock. The most remarkable feature of the iPhone is the display, which I hear is breathtaking as it emerges from behind what appears to be black plastic. The whole front, with exception to a couple of millimeters along the edges of the iPhone, is touch sensitive and allows the customer to select from objects on the screen, such as the phone’s keyboard. This feature was widely described for the nebulous full screen iPod and will instead be found in the iPhone. It was the patents that were acquired for the iPhone that started that speculation.



 

The iPhones PDA-like capabilities have been leaked already, such as email (via WIFI), calc, ical support, and others, so I won’t go into those. Obviously the games featured for the existing iPods will be playable on the new iPod.

 

Some of the coolest features mentioned, include the ability to have a hands-free conversation over auto adapters with the new iPhone. Bundled with the new phone is software called iTalk that keeps your voice from being carried over and includes privacy, IM and sync features. Other cool features are the ability to control other Apple devices not yet released with your iPhone like a super remote control. Somehow I pictured the remote from the movie “Click.”

 

This product is the Zune killer that has been held back and will likely leapfrog over cell phones, PDAs, and MP3 and video players that are out there. I have heard that iPod product line will likely take on most of the non-phone features of the iPhone, including the new screen technology.
