New Apple Products Unveiled

At their annual conference and exhibition in San Francisco, Steve Jobs announced Apple's new products today and a new name to reflect changes within the company; Apple Computers is now Apple, Inc. The top product billings go the the new iPhone and Apple TV. Below is a brief description of the iPhone.


iPhone

This product looks amazing! The iPhone is three devices in one: a widescreen iPod, a phone and an Internet communication device utilizing maps and searching. Priced at $499 for the 4GB and $599 for 8GB, the phone will be a huge competitor to the Treo and Blackberry families. The iPhone also has 2 megapixel camera. It is about .5 inches thick, has a 3.5 inch screen and runs Mac OS X. It uses a "smart" touch screen and has bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities. The product continues with Apple's simple, intuitive design precedent. The product will be available through Cingular service probably not until June.

iPhone automatically syncs these features from your Mac or PC:

  • Your calendar
  • Images
  • Notes
  • Bookmarks
  • Email
  • Music
  • Videos
  • TV shows
  • Movies

iPhone Demonstration

iPhone as your Phone

iPhone is a new mobile phone that uses touchscreen technology. You can make a call by pointing your finger at a name or number in your address book, your favorites list, or a call log. You can easily sync all of your address book from your Mac or PC. It is simple to merge calls and you can listen to voicemail in the order you choose, like an email application.

iPhone as your iPod

The iPhone can be used as your iPod. It will sync music, videos, TV shows, or audio books directly from your Mac or PC. It works as a wide screen iPod that uses screen touch controls. Album art is displayed and you can even search your library by this art.


iPhone as your Internet Device

iPhone uses Safari as its Internet browser and a rich HTML client for its email. Apple has partnered with Yahoo! and Google for their search engines capabilities. The device is able to multi-task: downloading email while searching the Internet. And of course, an Apple device wouldn't be complete without its widgets: stock reports, weather reports, maps, etc.

A couple more cool features:

  • If you're reading a horizontal article on the web, you can turn the iPhone horizontally and it will readjust the picture; if you're reading a vertical article, you just hold the iPhone in a vertical manner.

  • When you need to type, a QWERTY screen appears and you touch the letters needed. It is predictive, so it prevents and corrects mistakes as you type. There isn't a QWERTY screen unless you need one.
