iPhone - changing your mobile reality
How helpful is your mobile phone to you? Do you still simply use it just to make calls? Maybe you still sleep but the technology doesn't. A cell phone has already gone far beyond the voice connector between two people. It became your personal mobile assistant enabling to use the gadget in the widest range of activities.
Let's take iPhone that blew up the wireless industry with its appearance in the summer 2007 when it went on sale in the US. What makes people buy them hand over fist? What could for instance make a girl buy a new iPhone as a birthday present for her boyfriend? This revolutionary mobile phone allows you to:
- make calls by simply tapping a name or number in your address book, a favorites list, or a call log;
- use it as a camera phone making high quality pictures;
- take advantages of a multimedia player (featuring You Tube videos!);
- use Internet services (including e-mail, text messaging, web browsing, Visual Voicemail and local 'Wi-Fi' connectivity).
I won't go into details about all the features the phone has, that would be too long and definitely boring for someone, so you can go here and read more on that. I'd like to dwell on the most popular applications so the top 10 iPhone applications are:
OneTrip Shopping List: With the help of this app you can quickly organize and build your shopping list using simple and handy interface.
iPhoneChat: This application lets you log into AIM, view your contacts and handle tabbed chats.
