Why buy an iPhone ? ( dedication to Ali !! )

Yes, I have an iPhone and I love it ! It's my Precious (I'm not Gollum) !!!

Why buy an iPhone? In this countdown I’ll be taking you through the top reasons for you to buy one of the hottest gadgets on the planet.


1. 3.5” Widescreen Display

The problem with a lot of portable devices in the past has been the screen size. By making the screen the whole unit and with no keypad in site, Apple have been able to maximise screen size.

2. Touch Screen

The whole screen changes depending on your needs, so at one point it might be a kaypad, whilst at others it will be your music library or a short video clip for your viewing pleasure. You can scroll down through lists with a flick of your finger and the whole things just works brilliantly.

3. Mac OSX

The version of OSX that Apple use on the iPhone is customised for mobile use. The iPhone's version of OS X includes the software component "Core Animation" which is responsible for the smooth animations used in its user interface.

4. The Look

The screen is excellent, the design is slick and the whole phone is really well put together. It measures in at 115×61×11.6 mm and weighs 135 grams. When you consider how much is squeezed into the iPhone, that’s small. A great Apple design team's job!

5. Wireless Capabilities

The iPhone is a quad band GSM phone along with a 802.11g/b Wi-Fi, supports EDGE data transfer (for high speed internet and data transfer), and Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR.

6. It's Stylish

The iPhone is going to be very cool...if it isn’t already. The iPhone has a great look, some great features and is sure to be the next ‘must have’ gadget. So if you can afford the price, you’ll be the envy of all your friends.

7. Full Web Browsing

It uses Apple’s Safari Browser and displays web pages in their full form. You can view them either vertically or horizontally and zooming is done in style by simply double-tapping a section of the screen to zoom in on. The best bit though is the use of Google Maps on the iPhone.
