The Apple Iphone has done what most companies can only dream of. They have revolutionized the use of the cell phone. The summer launch of 2007 has made a major impact in the way people now view the cell phone market with the internet. The cell phone manufacturers have made many strides in trying to incorporate the cell phone with the internet. Text messaging and viewing .mobi websites are now available thanks to these development. That was then. This is now.

The Iphone has made a major leap in the way people view personal entertainment. The wi-fi feature allows Iphone users to surf the net without burning minutes on their phones service plan. With older cell phones, you are limited to using your minutes just to be online and surfing. With slow data speeds on cell phones, it really is harder to surf with those type of cell phones. Most cell phone displays are not able to view full pages of website ads but can usually show only text. The wi-fi feature allows users to browse the net without any type of phone connection. You are now able to view any website online. This feature alone puts the Apple Iphone ahead of the rest.

Once the Iphone launch happened, many potential customers really wanted to buy the Iphone to use, but not the phone portion of the Iphone. This is when Apple launched their Ipod Touch. The Ipod Touch has pretty much all the Iphone features without the phone. Apple launched the Ipod Touch in the winter of 2007, less than 6 months after the Iphone launch.

The stock Iphone comes with maps, calendar, clock, calendar, contacts list, YouTube and a Safari browser. Although the software is pretty bare, many engineers are pumping out widgets and gadgets for this device today. The unit has the capability to download music, videos, movies, ebooks, photos and more. The viewing screen is what really sets this music and video player ahead of all the rest. You can browse full page websites with the Safari browser. This is where Apple had gotten it right. Due to having their own successful browser in place, the Safari, they were able to incorporate all the Iphone features with their proprietary software.

This is why the Iphone is here to stay. They have captured market share because they have a product that everyone now wants. They have given the world the next best thing. Now it is our turn to incorporate this device and fill up this product with anything our hearts desire. Start downloading music, sports events, movies, wallpapers and anything you can think of. Do your part because without you, its just a I before the phone.
