iPhone Is Out!!


It's finally out!! The new, long awaited iPhone from Apple is out! There has been rumours about it the last few months or even years
but Apple being Apple has always been tight-lipped about all its new product and there has never been any real reviews about it until its out.

I have been able to get my hands on the new iPhone (being a gadget freak myself) so here is what you will be expecting before you get your hands on it and try it out for yourself.


At first sight, the iPhone reminds me of older generation iPod, although the camera at the top is more like the built in iSight camera you find on the newer notebooks from Apple.

It's a bit bulkier then the phones you find today but since this is the first attempt from Apple, let's give them a break. The keypad is hidden at the bottom and when you compare it with the Sony Ericsson S700i, you can see that iPhone is slightly smaller then S700i.


iPhone is bigger then the s700i but with the keypad showing, its
actually smaller.




All the normal features you expect to find in a mobile phone is available on the iPhone plus the ever wonderful music program iTunes. It has a built in memory of 20gb only but expect more with the second generation iPhone.

Wifi is also available, so as not to be overtaken by Microsoft's iPod killer 'Zune' but be aware that the battery life will be greatly reduced if you are using it over a period of over 10
minutes. Again, we have to remember that this is Apple's first try.

It offers a 5 mega pixel camera which you can undoubtly plug into your Macs and sync with iPhotos, 1 meg only for 3g video calls. It has numerous onboard camera settings and Picture Blogging functions which you can on its clear and sharp QVGA screen. It doesn't have a lens cover so it will be prone to scratches and also no optical zoom for the camera.

Here are some more photos of the iPhone.

This I will say is a must-have for Mac lovers. It will sync to your Mac without the need of third party application. The price however is a bit on the expensive side due to the big memory capacity, somewhere around S$998 with GST but you can't put a price tag on the WOW Factor.

So what are you waiting for? Contact your Mac authorised dealer today.

Note: Photos are taken from a 1 mega pixel camera so looks can be decieving. You have to have it in your hand before you make your judgement.

WOW! Not that I was impressed with the new released iPhone... but i quickly forgot about it after finished reading your review. I rate 2/5 stars for the iPhone and MUST give you 5/5 stars for your imagination.
Well done mate.

Haha. I hope they will release an iPhone based on your idea next time. Then you can earn some copyright money.
