Apple iPhone - Indiatimes Infotech

Apple iPhone - Indiatimes Infotech


The iPhone, which has no conventional buttons, instead uses a large touch-screen. The firm has patented keyboard technology on the 11.6 mm thick phone calling it "multi-touch". The 3.5 inch touch-screen-controlled device plays music, surfs the Internet and delivers voice mail and email differently.

The iPhone comes with a built-in, 2 MP digital camera as well as a slot for headphones and a SIM card. It runs Apple's OS X operating system, and has the Safari browser for Web access. The handset dispenses with buttons altogether, in favour of a powerful screen that responds to touch. It has a proximity sensor that automatically deactivates the screen and turns off the touch sensor when the device is raised to a user's face.

Music is automatically muted when a phone call comes in. The phone will play videos in widescreen format and automatically senses whether the screen is being held vertically or horizontally.

Has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and includes free BlackBerry-style 'push' email service from Yahoo. Apple is partnering with Yahoo Inc. on Web-based email and Google Inc on maps. To make a call, users can tap out the number on an on-screen keypad or scroll through their contacts and dial with a single touch. To zoom in on a photo or Web site, tap twice. To zoom out, tap once with two fingers.

The Hottest Technology of 2007

S Wrapup

The Hottest Technology of 2007

What gizmos are going to buy this year?

If display at CES & Mac world was a signal. Then customers very soon will be provided networked televisions, cell phones with video & touch screens & a host of other products that take advantage of breakthroughs in multicore, HDTV, computing, ubiquitous broadband and third-generation cellular networks.

In one sentence it can be said this is going to be a revolution year. It’s going to be busier market than last year while last year it was a very busy market with huge amount of product circulation. Almost 24 million screens in droves were sold last year. Customers who bought it now desired for content, which would truly utilize the capabilities of their new sets. They can get these products in 2007.

A potential hit:

Media Smart wireless networking HDTVs from Hewlett-Packard & the Bravia Internet Video Link system from Sony which will make tight in the Internet to grip content over the Internet from AOL, Grouper, & Yahoo! Sony Pictures Entertainment deliver it right to the TV, without the need for a computer.

Apple launched its Apple TV box, which allows users to wirelessly stream movies and music from iTunes on their computer, while Netgear's upcoming Digital Entertainer HD can stream pretty much every other type of video and audio file from your PC and can also show videos from YouTube and songs from BitTorrent.

Further, Companies such as LG, Sharp and Samsung all have articulated their concentration towards networking their upcoming TVs. It means the television is becoming just another knot on the network. And it makes sense, seeing how today’s digital televisions are basically the evolution of the computer monitor, and the more processing power we stuff into the television, the more computer-like it becomes--a powerful tool that can pull its weight on a home network, taking back the title of the entertainment hub of the household.

Just as customers have invested money for new televisions, cellular providers have spent billions on their 3G networks. Sprint and Verizon now recommend EV-DO, while Cingular has just rolled out its UMTS/HSDPA service (Its nothing to know what the letter jumbles used for), both providing near broadband speeds for wireless devices. Business customers have gotten used to the speedy access to e-mail on the go using their smartphones, and now a new generation of these devices is slimmer, smarter and multifunctional. Even non-business types are also following this.

The market of CES was flooded in new smartphones (Treo 750) and music phones (Samsung SGH-F300 Ultra Music Phone), as well as television phones (LG VX9400). And Apple teased it and going to launch a phone with all the mentioned functions. (IPhone or whatever it’s going to be called once the Cisco lawsuit is over).

In this new era when cellular phones and televisions are getting joint its need a remanagement of technology. In the living room, remote controls are swiftly approaching an unmanageable array of buttons for various devices and on-screen menus so broad that it may spoilt more than an hour to get from channel 1 to channel 1001.So, as smartphones have become both smaller and more button heavy, there was a need for the design experts at Apple to move in and second thoughts the vital edge.

Watch for multitouch screens, led by Apple’s iPhone, to change the way we act together with our devices by eliminating hard buttons in favour of on-screen dynamic direction of icons. Voice control interfaces will also go from laughable novelties to amazingly exact input devices. Colbration of Microsoft with Ford motors shows, it has been smoothly trying his hand

They may introduce the Sync system in over a dozen of the automaker’s vehicles. As its name implies, Sync promises to link the entire driver’s various electronic devices under one voice-command system.
