Iphone 3GS: Should You Believe The Hype?
There was much hype leading up to the introduction of Apple`s first version of the iPhone. Apple did not disappoint as proved by the millions of satisfied customers who have continued to upgrade their phones as new versions were released. The newest version, the 3GS, is the latest in the string of upgrades.
A major upgrade made in this new version relates to the speed,
which has doubled from the previous version. Whether you want to launch an application, open a web page, or download an attachment from your email, you will not be standing there counting the seconds as you wait.
As the iPhone is meant to be so much more than just a phone, Apple has worked hard to make sure that the other features are outstanding. The video capability is one area amongst many in which Apple has certainly succeeded. Not only does the phone allow you to film high quality video, but there is no need to transfer it to your computer because you can edit it directly on the iPhone itself. If you would rather take still pictures, the iPhone`s camera is easy to use and will produce great quality pictures. You can easily post your videos or still pictures to the web or email them to your contacts.
Speaking of contacts, you do not need to scroll through your list of contacts in order to call someone, but rather you can just use the iPhone`s voice control system and speak a name and automatically call them. The same feature can be used for your music collection; just say the name of a song and it will play. It does not get much simpler than that!
The useful features of the iPhone do not end there. For those who may not have the best sense of direction, the iPhone`s Compass feature is there to help. The application can be used to help orient you to a new city or help you find new things in your own city. No matter where you are, you will never be lost as long as you have your iPhone with you. And, if you should happen to misplace your iPhone, its handy `Find my iPhone` feature will help you locate it. Access the web from any computer and see a map showing you the location of your phone. If it turns out you left it in a taxi or a restaurant or somewhere far away, you can lock it remotely so that no one can access your information or use the phone until you can get to retrieve it.
In addition to the above described unique features of the iPhone, it does also of course do many of the same things that other mobile phones do. It just does many of them better. Take texting, for example. It is sometimes so much easier to just send a quick SMS rather than making a phone call and having to have an entire conversation. The iPhone`s large screen and easy to use keyboard makes it easy to see the whole conversation and easily add to it. You can also include pictures, video or contact information directly into text messages that you send. It is easy to forward conversations as well for the times that you must share the latest business news or gossip.
With each new version of the iPhone, Apple continues to live up to the original hype and provide more for its customers to love.
