The iPhone created quite a splash when it was given to the public. You may wonder why the public, who is more technologically advanced than in previous years, was so swayed by this phone. The reason is simple. The iPhone is full of never-before-seen technology and delivers it all in a highly effective trim little package. It is the combination of two very popular devices, the iPod and the mobile phone.

This hybrid innovation is a quad-band gadget, uses GSM standards and supports EDGE data technology, which is an enhanced version on GSM networks. The iPhone was named 'Invention of the Year 2007' by Time magazine.

Call waiting, caller id, conferencing etc,. but it also adds the function of an mp3 player at the same time. One of its more outstanding features is the capability of visual voicemail. You are able to select the voicemail you wish to listen to without having to go through all the other voicemails in your mailbox.

Another convenient feature in the iPhone is the internet browsing capability. The HTML email client is fast and easy to use and you can synchronise bookmarks between your computer and iPhone without a problem. The best mobile web browser, Safari, is used in the iPhone.

The iPhone is especially helpful when you need to find alternative routes during traffic jams. The Google Maps feature in it can provide various satellite images and maps of the local area for you to decide on a different road to take. Traffic information is directly available via this feature.

Besides these nice functions that make life more convenient, the iPhone also has a 3.5 inch screen and it's touch sensitive (touch-screen). The bigger screen allows better video quality and more workspace.

The phone is sensitive to its surroundings as well. For instance, if the phone is too close to the users face, it will shut off to prevent any facial featrues from making any accidental entries on the phone. It will also adjust the display brightness based on the surroundings and it will change the angle of the screen based on the phone's angle.

The iPhone is the must-have technological gizmo of the new era. WiFi connectivity, downloadable music and movies, bigger screen and the sleek look have contributed much to the iPhone's appeal. Interestingly, with all that great functionality, the iPhone's main use is email checking. Over 77% of iPhone users check their email on it everyday. The next most popular iPhone activities are web browsing and downloading.
