The news is finally out. Apple iPhones are expected to hit the French markets by 29 November 2007.
Apple claims the iPhone is a revolution. With push to talk now becoming a common feature on many handsets, the iPhone allows users to make calls by simply tapping a name or a number in your contacts list. You can also select and listen to your voicemail messages by a one touch operation.
Because touch is such an important part of the iPhone, it naturally comes with a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display. And not just that, a wide screen display means that the iPhone allows you to watch videos, without straining your eyes. Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, it also supports stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats. Its 8GB flash drive means that you can safely store all your favorite music and videos, without having to run to the store for memory enhancements as soon as you have purchased your phone.
iPhone comes with a host of features that will make it the number one item on any self respecting gadget freaks wish list. It comes with a 2.0 megapixels camera and supports wireless data transfer via Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), EDGE, and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR.
The people at Apple have really put a lot of thought into the iPhone, for one it has an 8 hour talk time capacity and a standby time of upto 250 hours! If that’s not enough, you can use the phone for upto 6 hours to surf the internet, or use it to play videos for 7 hours. Audio playback is possible for upto 24 hours. If you’re wondering about the price of this wonderful gadget, then take a seat because chances are that you can only afford it if you have 300 Euros to spare.
But if iPhone is a revolutionary, then it will pave the way for others and owning such a gadget may not remain a distant dream. With the iPhone, you can truly say that we have entered the world of pocket entertainment.
