What is an iPhone?
The iPhone is a line of Internet and multimedia enabled smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The first iPhone was unveiled on January 9, 2007 and released on June 29, 2007.
An iPhone can function as a video camera, camera phone with text messaging and visual voicemail, a portable media player and an Internet client with email, web browsing and both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity. The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard rather than a physical one. Third-party as well as Apple applications are available from the AppStore, which launched in mid 2008 and now has well over 300,000 apps approved by Apple. These apps have diverse functions, including games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, security and advertising for television shows, films, and celebrities.
There are four generations of iPhone models, and they were accompanied by four major releases of iOS (formerly iPhone OS). The original iPhone was a GSM phone that established design precedents like screen size and button placement that have persisted through all models. The iPhone 3G added 3G cellular network capabilities and GPS localization. The iPhone 3GS added a compass, faster processor, and higher resolution camera, including video. The iPhone 4 has two cameras for FaceTime video calling and a higher-resolution display. It was released on June 24, 2010. On January 11, 2011, Apple and Verizon together launched a CDMA2000 compatible iPhone 4 specifically for the Verizon network in the US, released on February 10, 2011.
A business tool
Sometimes is seems as though the iPhone is the must have fashion accessory of the season, with people using it as a name brand to show off to their friends. But while it is obviously a stylish phone that can grace anyones accessory list, it is also a very powerful and complex piece of equipment, something that often gets left out in the hype surrounding it.
Its strengths as a tool for business users often fails to get a mention in magazine and newspaper articles about the phone, which is a shame as the iPhone can be the perfect accompaniment to anyone who is looking for a mobile business tool.
The iPhone is a very high specification tool built by one of the world leaders in computer development. They have used their knowledge and expertise to create a device that will act as a very versatile piece of equipment. The technological aspects are so strong that it is simply what you put onto it that decides its use to you, and that is where the applications come in. They increase the functionality to the point that you are able to get what you want to out of the iPhone.
Despite the lack of hype about using the iPhone as a business tool, many companies have seen the value of developing applications. With apps, enterprises can answer business requirements (emails, full 3G internet, CRM, document reader, etc.) for corporate use, communication with clients or sale of products directly to the end user.
There are plenty of applications, all designed to help you use the iPhone as one of the ultimate business tools.
