The Apple iPhone

Lets do the technical bit first. The iPhone offers iPod functionality with a 3.5 inch widescreen display - plays music, audiobooks and video. Operated with the touch of a finger on the iPhone's optical-quality glass screen - that is cool. The iPhone also lets you synchronize your music which is held in iTunes on a Mac or PC. More than that, the iPhone offers:

• the most powerful camera and integrated photo management software, imaginable on a phone. And all can be synchronized with your PC or Mac photo management application like iPhoto.

• a new type of mobile for calls and SMS. You can simply point and create phone numbers, access the built-in address book or synchronize with your contacts stored on a PC or Mac. In addition, voicemail takes on a new dimension - listen to and manipulate voicemail in any order you choose. All with the touch of a finger.

• browse the web through the noteworthy Safari browser and do your email through a rich built-in HTML client - just like you were on your Mac. Web pages are displayed as they were meant to be seen. Simply zoom in or out as required. All this and you can synchronize with bookmarks held on your Mac or PC.

• battery life up to 8 hours ( talk / video / browsing), up to 24 hours audio playback, bluetooth 2.0 enabled, WIFI broadband, 4GB or 8GB storage and screen resolution 320x480 ppi. Apple recently announced that the iPhone will have a longer lasting battery life than expected compared to the original 5 hours of talk time.

• Dimensions 2.4 x 4.5 x 0.46 inches (155 x 61 x 11.6 mm) and one that weighs in at only 4.8 ounces (135g)

The Apple iPhone Activation Process

Apple and AT&T Inc. today announced that iPhone users will be able to activate their new iPhones using Apple’s popular iTunes software running on a PC or Mac computer in the comfort and privacy of their own home or office, without having to wait in a store while their phone is activated. Activating the iPhone takes only minutes as iTunes guides the user through simple steps to choose their service plan, authorize their credit and activate their iPhone. Once iPhone is activated, users can then easily sync all of their phone numbers and other contact information, calendars, email accounts, web browser bookmarks, music, photos, podcasts, TV shows and movies just like they do when they sync their iPods with iTunes
