iPhone: Why You Do/Don't Want One

By Chung Kloiber


The iPhone has been very successful in capturing the interest of the public since its debut in January 2007.Multiple features of the iPhone, such as its innate touch navigation, stylish form, incomparable display, and superior processing capabilities have made the iPhone a favorite among several consumer groups. Apple's COO, Tim Cook once said that the company was confident that it would sell 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008. Many people expect to be able to use the iPhone for both business and personal matters, according to recent research.

Since the explosion of the iPhone on the scene, the progression of the iPhone has moved into the business world within a short period of time. Because of its diverse abilities pertinent to a business setting, the actual use of the iPhone as a business tool is a heated debate. The primary use for the iPhone was meant most directly for the mass market, but not for use as a tool within a corporation.

The iPhone is mostly just a glorified personal information manager or PIM. The iPhone does not support third party applications, so you will not have access to everything that android users currently rave about. The iPhone is based on a personal data management system which makes it increasingly difficult to collaborate with a team on a single project.

iPhone's Safari web browser is one of, if not the best mobile internet browser on the market. The integrated browser is two steps ahead of other browsers currently used in other handheld devices like Blazer, and the Blackberry browser. With so many similarities to the desktop browser features, iPhone's Safari browser is the closest thing to your actual computer. With the development of the Safari browser into what it is today, iPhone has gone above and beyond the competition in mobile web browsing technology.

The ability for the iPhone to access the web through a Wi-Fi connection, or data plan through a provider is a great feature. In order for this to be worthwhile to you, you must however be comfortable with using a small device like the iPhone for your web access. The fact that the iPhone has such a large and high resolution screen helps the Safari web browser and adds to the ease of use.

For many years, Apple has lacked business software and profited on the unique, or more artistic types of software and devices. It has been said that Apple created a frustrating lack of business compatibility with the iPhone and other devices, so it is a good sign to see that Apple is finally coming out of the shell. With such a large focus put on the iPhone's business capabilities, it will only be a matter of time before we see the iPhone completely integrated into the modern business plan and practices.
