A Look At The Iphone & Why It Is So Popular

By Robert Hinkle

As technology advances, cell phones are becoming less popular as smart phones are taking over the attention and interest of consumers. Most modern cell phones will give you everything you need but smart phones like the iPhone 3GS offer so much more in terms of functionality, design, as well as entertainment. But what really makes the iPhone 3GS so popular to consumers? Is it the sleek design? Is it the numerous applications? Is it the wide array of capabilities that are placed on your hands? Maybe it's that futuristic feel of using your fingers to control all the functions on the phone.

The continued popularity of this phone for over two years since the introduction of its predecessor is significant. Why does this phone remain the top selling phone in its category? It quickly rose above the competition in the smart phone market and has remained there. I know you readily recognize it since nothing much has changed with the look; it only continues to advance the technology and consumers continue to be crazy over it.

By now, you're probably very familiar with the way that it looks. Probably the reason why the look has never changed is because consumers love how it functions. The iPhone 3gs sports the same look but you still can't help but admit that the phone is still as appealing as it was two years ago. What has changed with this model is the addition of extra features and functionality improvements.

I like to listen to music and watch videos on my smart phone; this is one of the reasons this phone remains so popular. What are the specifications? They haven't changed much; TFT capacitive touch screen, accelerometer, 320x480 pixels, proximity sensor, multi touch input method, 16M colors and scratch resistant surface. These are all things you probably have become familiar with a handful of added features.

Consumesr love how the iPhone 3GS interface works with the multi- touch technology. They can flip through their music collections, pinch to enlarge or minimize photos, and save all their text messages in one page. The virtual keyboard is also easy to use although it takes some time to getting used to.

When it comes to the applications available for download, you'll never run out of options as well as the Apple and 3rd party developers are always coming up with new ones. Social networking site addicts for example can take advantage of the free chat box for PC and iPhone/iPod touch application called iChatbox, allowing for easy registration, login, and easy connection to friends, family and other iPhone users. They can also connect to Facebook and Myspace with a touch of a screen.

So those are the reasons why the iPhone 3GS is still popular in the smart phone market. The apps, functionality, interface, and features all come together to make it one of the best phones ever created. In addition, Apple has a strong following of loyal customers that keep up with all the company's releases, which gives them the company's products free publicity.
