iPhone Key features & Main disadvantages !!

Jantu’R iPhone app/experiment.. Introduction

It’s finally here – the iPhone 3G. No, we mean that literally. It’s finally at our office and boy, are we excited! GPS, HSDPA purring under the new iPhone hood with a hefty number of software enhancements.

But all them software goodies are available for the first-gen iPhone too – so is it worth the fuss? It may as well be, but we never know before we take it out for a spin.

Key features:

• 3.5″ 16M-color TFT display with a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels
• Quad-band GSM support
• Tri-band UMTS support with HSDPA
• Built-in GPS receiver
• Wi-Fi
• 8 to 16GB of onboard storage
• Accelerometer, proximity sensor and ambient light sensor
• 2 megapixel camera
• Silky smooth user interface with multi-touch user support
• Unsurpassed web surfing experience
• Push email with MS Exchange support
• AppStore access for direct application download and installation
• Redone rear
• TV-out port

Main disadvantages:

• No video calls over the 3G network
• The handset wobbles on hard even surfaces
• There are a number of messaging downers
• Camera has no auto focus, nor video recording… nor any settings at all
• Safari browser doesn’t support Flash and Java, doesn’t have a download manager
• Bluetooth support limited to headset use only (no A2DP or file transfers)
• No office document editor
• No copy/paste functionality
• You cannot sync Notes and TO-DOs
• No memory card slot (but knowing Apple there will never be one)

Now, since we’ll be heavily comparing the old and new iPhone, how about the following arrangement – the first one we’ll call Number One and the newbie will be Number Two. Sorted. Wait a minute, no good? Crap, we knew it. OK then, the first one will be the iPhone 1G (as in “generation” of the device), while the new one will still be iPhone 3G (as in “generation” of the wireless network). That might sound inconsistent, but it’s short and we like it this way, so before you go ballistic in the comments section, remember Number One and Number Two.

The iPhone 3G 16GB (White) in hand

So, back to the drill – the 3G-enabled iPhone was rumored ever since the iPhone 1G surfaced last year. Now that we have the real thing in our hands, it doesn’t seem that groundbreaking anymore. Nevertheless, there are quite a few things to cover so we think reviewing it in detail is worth it. There’s the updated design, the new white color (which we happen to have), the new iPhone 2.0 firmware/software/OS (call it what you will) with AppStore on board, the push email functionality and, finally, the GPS and HSDPA topping.

The Apple iPhone 3G

We will also be on the lookout for improvements in terms of audio quality, loudspeaker volume and camera image quality against the iPhone 1G.

Seems like quite a workload, so let’s waste no more time and get to it. Join us after this short break for more on the iPhone 3G.

I’ve had a little something to do with a bash called @media (vivabit.com/atmedia)
for almost as long as the HTML Dog book project. Thanks to everyone who has
made that possible, including all of those who have attended it. It has been a great
example of a genuine appetite for pushing best-practice web design and development
to their limits, and it has kept my enthusiasm and passion for the subject
fresh. @media and HTML Dog are my babies, so they must be related.
I have always regarded New Riders as by far the best, most discerning, and most
respectable publisher of Web-related books. It has been a roller-coaster ride, but I
am very proud to finally be a published New Riders author alongside so many great
Web heavyweights. So, to the publisher, and extended family and friends, thanks to
David Fugate, Linda Bump Harrison, Darcy DiNucci, Marjorie Baer, Nancy Davis, Joe
Marini, Doug Adrianson, and everyone else involved in building this quality culturally
infused slab of ink-sprinkled reconstituted plant fibers.

A good website follows conventions to keep users happy and responsive. I can only
assume that a good web design book should do the same. So here are some people
“without whom this would not have been possible.” Or something like that…
To my mother, for her share of my genetic material and all of the environmental
stuff, for buying me my first computer, for putting up with my Kevin & Perry teenage
crap, and, most of all, for forbidding me to get a Michael Jackson perm at the
age of 10, ta, Ma.
Even though her grasp of language is somewhat limited, for frequently walking
across my keyboard Nutmeg, the feline member of the family, should probably have
a co-author credit. At least blame any typos on her.
I am proud to be a member of such an open, intelligent, friendly professional
community. Andy Budd, Andy Clarke, Jon Hicks, Jeremy Keith, Drew McLellan,
Rich Rutter, Mike Stenhouse, and the rest of the Britpack (and the mighty Pub
Standards, for that matter) have been an invaluable source of discussion, ideas,
and constructive criticism, and have become good friends to boot. And there’s a
plethora of luminaries further from home who have influenced me, and this book,
in one way or another: Doug Bowman, Dan Cederholm, Joe Clark, Charles Darwin,
Molly Holzschlag, Steve Krug, Jakob Nielsen, Valentino Rossi, and Jeffrey Zeldman
in particular. Through raising awareness, it’s due to many of these people (and many
more), and organizations like the Web Standards Project (webstandards.org) that
the quality web design landscape is a much lusher one now than it was even a few
years ago, so thanks are due not only for their influence, but for making books like
this, and interest in them, possible.
Dan Webb (danwebb.net) has been the single most influential person when it comes
to HTML Dog (site, book, and philosophy). From working together on numerous
projects across the years to idle pub banter (across even more years), Dan is the
first person I talked with about web standards, long before the emergence of that
hat-wearing dude’s little orange book, the person I have discussed around 43,082.6
aspects of web design with, from liquid layouts to accessibility to Microformats
to the absurdity of the term Web 2.0, and the person who has proofread, edited,
tested, and critiqued pretty much every single article and website that I have ever
been involved in.
