Apple iPhone iPod

This one I couldn’t pass up writing about. At the MacWorld Expo taking place right now in San Francisco, Apple unleashed their much-anticipated iPhone.

Here are a few of the available features…

  • WiFi 802.11b/g
  • Cingular’s EDGE Data network
  • Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
  • Running on OSX
  • Visual-detection software

Built-in Advanced Sensors

iPhone’s accelerometer detects when you rotate the device from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page or a photo in its proper landscape aspect ratio.

The proximity sensor detects when you lift iPhone to your ear and immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches until iPhone is moved away.

An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display’s brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light, thereby enhancing the user experience and saving power at the same time.
