Here’s an interesting YouTube video showing iPhone cool features.
At last, after so many months of speculations and rumors about what would iPhone (not even sure if this would be the name) look like, today Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone to the large audience in attendance at MacWorld.
This new sleek mobile gadget combines phone, wide-screen iPod, and internet access. It comes in two version a 4GB and 8GB storage capacity, support quad-band GSM, EDGE, WiFi 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.0 wireless.
The iPhone also has a built-in 2 MP digital camera, a big enough 3.5-inch widescreen display and running on Mac OS X engine. One of main attraction of iPhone is the new user interface (UI) which by design they get rid of the button and replaced it with screen-based touch pad.
With so many bells and whistles packed into this thin gadget (11.6mm to be exact), I started to wonder what would be the battery life?
Since this gadget is primarily a phone, Mr. Jobs confirmed that the exclusive carrier for the iPhone will be Cingular, Sweet! I have to stick to Cingular for now and start saving money to afford this gadget once it hit the store by June with a price tag of $499 and $599 for the first two model.
A few weeks ago I watched as show about the evolution of disk storage (I believe it was on PBS) and Im amazed how these technologies evolved and its impact on computing technologies. Through the years the program showcase how technology moved from a room full of capacitors and gigantic magnetic plates to a quarter size storage medium.
Yesterday, Cnet reported about this new high-capacity flash drive from SanDisk which the company believe would later on replaced the harddisk of mobile device.
Unlike traditional hard drives, flash memory drives do not contain moving parts. As a result, flash devices are less prone to breaking down—flash cards can survive drops from great heights—and consume less energy. SanDisk’s flash drive can increase battery life by about 10 percent, said Doreet Oren, director of product marketing for SanDisk.“
I totally agree. Although this new storage device will be more expensive than your current 2.5” hard drive is I think understandable but later on as more and more company adopt the technology we would expect the cost will also go down. But for now don’t drop those hard drive.. yet!
