The Apple iPhone Buzz

by iPhone3G.Com

Have you heard of the iPhone? I bet you have because when it was released on July 29/07 it's sales shot through the roof. The airwaves were flooded with stories about people lining up to buy this incredible device. If you haven't heard of it, I bet you're wondering what all the buzz all about?

The iPhone is not just your typical cell phone, it's multiple media devices in one. You can not only make calls on it but you can visit the internet, you can watch widescreen movies and can listen to your favorite music because it doubles as an iPod.

These features make it not only a marvel of technology, but a convenient way to access the things that you would normally hold on multiple devices. Instead of having to buy multiple electronic devices and carry them around with you, all you need is one iPhone. Because of this, the iPhone is quite the cost effective product.

All of these features sound great. It's even better that they are in one device but is that it? No. In addition to all of these incredible features and the convenience, the iPhone's functionality is like nothing you have ever seen. Take a look at these features:

1. When you think of a typical cell phone you imagine it to have press-able buttons which allow you to dial your call. Not the iPhone. It has no buttons. It's just has a smooth, black top surface. So how do you dial in numbers? Well, as you touch the screen, the iPhone awakens. On its screen appears big, colorful graphical buttons representing the keypad. Because the buttons are so big, it makes dialing a call a breeze.

2. Because the internet is such a huge part of today's life, the iPhone sure comes in handy when you need to access the internet when you're not near a computer. On the iPhone, you can view the real internet as opposed to pages formatted for mobile devices. You can easily zoom in out out and to see the different page elements closely. And because the screen on the iPhone is much bigger than a normal cell phone, it allows you to get a great visual of the page you're looking at.

3. The iPhone also displays widescreen movies. After you load some hit movies from the iTunes store on your iPhone, you simply click on the movie you want to watch and it starts to play. Because the unit is a rectangular shape and the whole screen is the viewing area, the movie plays in a fulls screen view.

4. The last feature of the iPhone is its capability of storing and playing your favorite music. Because it has an 8 gigabyte hard drive built in, it can hold thousands of songs. This gives it the functionality of Apple's famous iPod. To access your songs, you simply navigate to the the artist, then the album and you are ready to listen. It's that simple.

Now that you understand the many features of the iPhone, you're probably wondering how much it's going to set you back. Originally they had the iPhone priced at $500-$600. After a couple of months this price was then reduced to $399 for the 8 gigabyte model. At $399, it's much more affordable to the majority of people. If this price is still a little out of reach, you may want to try to find a used iPhone. Because they are so sought after, your still going to pay at least $300 even though it's been used.

If you do decide to buy an iPhone there's one more thing you're going to need and that's a cellular phone plan. Currently, the iPhone has an exclusive with AT&T. Their plans start at $59.99 per month which is comparable with the other providers. If you find you have a few dollars left after getting your phone and plan set up, you may want to add some iPhone extras or accessories. Things like docking stations, cases, holsters and cables are very popular items.

Although, the iphone will set you back a little money, keep in mind that it really is multiple devices in one. If you want the convenience of having these different devices in one unit, then the iPhone will certainly deliver.
