iPhone – the Pros

For all the hype about the iPhone and it’s good and innovative features, it also has a bunch of features which are really pretty crap.

First up though, some of the cool features of the iPhone that I like:

  • Built in 802.11B/G wi-fi
    • Allows data to be pulled over a WLAN instead of over the more expensive mobile/cellphone network
  • Multitouch interface
    • Pure shiny Apple here, if it really works as well as expected it should make interacting with cellphones much easier
  • Hi-res (320×480) screen
    • For comparison the Nokia N95 has a 320×240 screen. The iPhone resolution is higher than many Windows PocketPCs
  • Safari
    • A mobile browser with desktop levels of support for web-standards like XML, CSS and Javascript. It also supports some of the mobile web-standards for backwards compatibility.
  • Multimedia support
    • It supports a whole load of multimedia formats (MP3, MP4, QuickTime, H.264 etc)
  • Very shiny design
    • It’s interface is usual Apple shinyness and;
    • It’s physical design is rather attractive too.
