Key features
iPhone combines three amazing products - a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough internet communications device with the best-ever applications on a mobile phone for email, web browsing, maps and search - into one small and lightweight handheld device.
Breakthrough Internet Device
Which features rich HTML email so images and photos display in-line with the text. It also features Safari - the most advanced web browser ever on a portable device - which automatically syncs bookmarks from your Mac or PC. Safari also includes built-in Google and Yahoo! oneSearch.
iPhone 3G uses a technology protocol called HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) to download data. Email attachments and web pages load twice as fast on 3G networks as on 2G EDGE networks. And since iPhone 3G seamlessly switches between EDGE, faster 3G, and even faster Wi-Fi, you always get the best speeds possible.
iPhone also multi-tasks, so you can, for example, make a phone call while checking your contacts or emailing a photo and surfing the web over a Wi-Fi connection.
With Google Maps you can view maps and satellite images, and get directions, all from iPhone's remarkable, multi-touch user interface.
Revolutionary phone
iPhone is a revolutionary mobile phone that allows you to make a call by simply tapping a name or number in your address book, a favourites list or a call log.
It also automatically syncs all your contacts from a PC, Mac or Internet service.
Widescreen iPod
iPhone is a widescreen iPod with touch controls that lets you enjoy your content - including music, audiobooks, and videos.
It allows you to sync the content from the iTunes library on your PC or Mac and access it all with the touch of a finger.
You can also buy songs wirelessly through iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.
What's New
3G Speed:
3G technology gives iPhone fast access to the Internet and email over mobile networks around the world. iPhone 3G also makes it possible to do more in more places: Surf the web, download email, get directions, and watch video - even while you're on a call.
Maps with GPS:
Find your location, get directions, and see traffic - all from your phone. Maps on iPhone 3G combines GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile tower location technology with the Multi-Touch interface to create the best mobile map application ever. iPhone 3G finds your location via GPS or by triangulating your position using Wi-Fi and mobile towers. View turn-by-turn directions or watch your progress with live GPS tracking. Just like Google Maps on your computer, Maps on iPhone lets you switch between map view, satellite view, and a hybrid view of both. Maps on iPhone shows you live traffic information, indicating traffic speed along your route in easy-to-read green, red, and yellow highlights.
Apps Store:
Tap into the App Store and you'll find applications in every category, from games to business, education to entertainment, finance to health and fitness, productivity to social networking. These applications have been designed to take advantage of iPhone features such as Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, wireless, and GPS. And some are even free. You download them wirelessly and can start using them right away. The App Store on iPhone works over mobile networks and Wi-Fi, which means it's accessible from just about anywhere.
iPhone in Enterprise:
What makes iPhone a great business phone? The same features that make iPhone a revolutionary mobile device. And now with iPhone 2.0 software, iPhone does even more for your enterprise. It supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, delivering push email, calendar, and contacts. And it gives mobile users secure access to corporate resources with Cisco IPSec VPN and network services with WPA2 Enterprise and 802.1X authentication.
