This iPhone has a touch sensitive screen where you can just touch a button with your finger. How cool is that. You can make a phone call directly from google maps if you like. You can use your finger to go down a list of names to make a call. With the point of your finger, you can go down the list of CDs you have downloaded. You can very easily play one of your favorite songs.

The talk going on right now is, every phone customer will need to sign a two year contract with Cingular(Now AT & T). You will definitely need to switch to Cingular from your other mobile services if you want the Apple iPhone.

Brace yourself for the long lines on this one. Get in and get out. Try calling some AT&T stores to see if their is a waiting list. You can also contact your local Apple store to see exactly what is going there as well.

Watch out for this tidal wave. This Apple iPhone may give the greenlight to other manufacturers to start sell consumers many pricier mobile cell phones. These manufacturers may have to just that in order to compete with Apple. A demand will be created here. Make sure you are watching the market on this one. Could this be a positive or negative here. We will see. Time will there. You should understand now why the hype over the Apple iphone. Anticipation is making me wait.

The new Apple iPhone - Thin. Sleek. Stylish.

Although the cell phone market is new territory for Apple, they have released a very impressive product with the Apple iPhone carrying 8GB of memory and loaded with much more to meet all your expectations.

The Apple iPhone has all of the features of the latest smartphones, including text messaging capabilities, an integrated digital camera, as well as the capability to surf the net and check your e-mail. But this isn't the end of the list, the Apple iPhone features a lot more.

As well as the features listed at the top, the Apple iPhone 8GB offers the latest in cellular technology with an impressive touch screen interface. Using the interface will make you feel like you've got your hands on some gadget from outer-space; it's truly an impressive and seamless way of operating your cell phone.

The basic technology developed for the Apple iPhone originates from the popular Apple iPod. You can not only make calls on your Apple iPhone, but you can also enjoy digital music and play your favorite songs on the sleek cell phone.

If you're familiar with the Apple video iPod, then you will be suprised to know that the Apple iPhone 8GB also plays a wide variety of videos. You can easily capture high quality video with your Apple iPod and store it directly to the whopping 8GB of memory available to you.

Apple has cleverly decided to take a different direction with their new device by deciding to include the OS X operating for the Apple iPhone. This is arguably the most technologically advanced operating systems ever developed for a cell phone. OS X offers not only high functionality, but also stability and security as well. You will find that the OS X not only improves your overall productivity, but is also easy and fun to use as well.

After dealing with the wide variety of cell phones available on the market today, you will find that there are two common problems found among them. Firstly, there isn't a lot of space available for the screen, and reading the display on many cell phones can be difficult at best, especially with a huge keyboard that takes up half the space on the cell phone. Apple has evaded and solved this problem by completely eliminating the conventional keypad. The keyboard is seamlessly integrated with the touch screen interface, thus saving your phone space and creating more room for the beautiful display.

When you turn the Apple iPhone sideways, the aspect ratio is 16:9 - exactly the same ratio as many TV shows and movies being made today. What's neat about the iPhone´s display is that when you turn it sideways, sensors in the phone will automatically adjust the screen so you can read the display from the side. With its embedded feature, you can enjoy wide-screen movies on your small yet big iPhone.

As you can see the Apple iPhone 8GB is the most advanced in cell phone technology. If you love gadgets, you won't be disappointed with the Apple iPhone 8GB.

Apple’s IPhone will impact Companies

Image-conscious executives who want to own the latest tech gadgets might put their companies at risk if they try to connect iPhones to corporate networks, warns an analyst

To guard against such eventualities, IT departments should begin drafting policies forbidding executives from connecting their Apple iPhones to company networks, said Rob Enderle, a principal analyst with the Enderle Group based in San Jose, Calif.

“The device isn't secure enough, nor is it designed to run with corporate systems,” he said.

Companies spend a lot of time getting RIM and Palm handheld devices up to par so they can be secure enough to connect to company e-mail, he said.

Before the iPhone is as secure as the BlackBerry and Treo, it needs a product such as Good Technology Mobile, which is designed to securely deliver enterprise applications to mobile devices. But now that Good Technology has been bought by Motorola, it's unclear whether it'd be interested in creating a product for Apple's iPhone, Enderle said.

And even if third-party developers were interested in making applications for the iPhone that would turn it from a consumer toy to a business tool, it's uncertain whether Apple wants to go that route. The phone is currently a closed platform, which means Apple hasn't invited independent software vendors to develop applications for its platform.

And because the platform is closed, it's not clear yet which applications are currently supported by the iPhone.

“I think Apple's going to very tightly control the flow of applications onto this device,” said Charles Golvin, principal analyst for Forrester Research in San Francisco. “There are certain things that as a business user you need, and it's not clear if it's on the device yet.” Is there support for Microsoft Office documents such as PowerPoint or Adobe PDF? “Without those things, it's usefulness as a business tool would be greatly reduced, but I think Apple recognizes that. I would be greatly surprised if those applications either didn't come bundled with the phone or quickly found their way onto the phone inexpensively.”

Still, Golvin doesn't think Apple will go directly after the business market.

Those targeting that market, such as RIM, don't need to start worrying about Apple, said Brian Sharwood of the SeaBoard Group in Toronto. The two companies are going after very different markets and whereas Apple sells a piece of hardware, RIM sells a service, he said.

But because of the iPhone's attractive form factor, executives are likely to start buying it when it becomes available in June in the U.S., and tech departments need to head them off at the pass by issuing policies that forbid iPhones from being connected to networks, Enderle said.

If executives insist on connecting iPhones, then the IT department has a duty to report the violation since it could mean that Sarbanes-Oxley or other compliance rules have been broken, Enderle said.

But not everyone is as worried about iPhones finding their way onto corporate networks.

The iPhone is secure because it has built-in support for IMAP or Internet Message Access Protocol and POP3 Mail, Golvin said.

Most organizations run Exchange, which has IMAP support, which means the iPhone can automatically receive push e-mail, unlike RIM devices, which need a BlackBerry Enterprise Server to receive e-mail, Golvin said. IT departments, will, however, have to be on the lookout for vulnerabilities for the device, he said.

But, like Enderle, Golvin agrees that iPhones will find their way into the enterprise via executives looking to get their hands on the latest devices. Executives who don't have limits on what they spend are image-conscious and tend to buy Apple devices, he said. This is how the BlackBerry eventually found its way into the enterprise, he said.

5 Easy VoIP Tutorial Steps On How To Make The Switch

Unless you have been living on Mars lately, you might have known about VoIP. VoIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol is a revolutionary technology that transmits voice or audio files over the Internet. As it uses the means of the Internet to get connected, many people have seized this opportunity to enjoy unlimited long distance calls and also lower monthly phone bills.

To many who have heard of VoIP, they might not know how to get started and how much they can benefit from it. Well, in order to help you get started or make the switch, below is an easy step by step VoIP tutorial that will help you get started in choosing the best plan that is right for you or your business.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

First step before switching to VoIP is in making the decision as to whether you or your business really needs VoIP service. Being human, we tend to get scared of a new technology. If you think that VoIP can be really beneficial, then switching to VoIP is something that you should strongly consider. If, however, for any reason at all you think that VoIP will not benefit you, then you are missing on the greatest invention of all since sliced bread. Ask yourself this, 'Do I really want to miss out on the opportunity to enjoy unlimited long distance calls to anywhere in the world at a lower monthly rate?' If your answer is 'No', move on to the next step.

Choosing the Right Plan

The next step is to decide which plan is the best for you, your family or your business needs. Like most things new and unsure to you, it is always wise to research for the different VoIP providers on the Internet. Get active in VoIP forums and ask questions regarding anything related to VoIP.

Chances are you will get lots of different opinions as to which VoIP provider is the best. However, bear this in mind; even though different providers offer different plans, you will soon discover that it all comes down to being the same but differently packaged plan, in order to differentiate themselves from the pack. So, how does one choose?

You might want to consider your needs, wants and features by making yourself a written list for comparison. This will help you compare the different plans provided by different service providers. In a nutshell, there are a few things you might want to consider:

1. If you want to use VoIP for personal use, such as to call your family members, you might want to consider choosing a Residential Plan. It comes in two forms which are basic (a certain amount of minutes of talk time) and unlimited (for unlimited period of talk time).

2. If you own a small business, choosing a Business Plan will provide you with amenities such as fax, voicemail, multiple phones, unlimited calling plans, and so on.

With that being said, do not forget to check out with the company to find the plan that meets your requirements, as some features included in the business plans are also included in the residential plans for other providers. So, it really depends on the different service providers and how they want to package their offer. If you have questions, write them an email or call them for further information.

Setting up the System

First of all, you have to make sure that your computer system is compatible with VoIP service. If you are using broadband Internet connection you should not worry. If you are using dial-up connection you might want to switch to broadband first. Although, there are some providers that offer dial-up VoIP nowadays.

If you choose a business plan to use for your business or a call center, the best piece of advice is to leave the installation and set up to a professional who knows what he is doing. If you choose a residential plan the setting up is simple enough for most residents to do themselves. However, it is always best to leave it to a professional.

Choosing Your Own Phone Number

First, you have to decide whether you want to keep your old phone number or pick a new one. One of the best features that VoIP offers is the ability to keep your old phone number by transferring your old phone number to your new VoIP system.

Then you can select a different area code. The advantage of this is that, if you live in another state, by choosing the same area code as that of your family members and friends who do not have unlimited long distance callings, their calls will be charged as if it were a local call. This saves them money whenever they contact you.

If you are using VoIP for your business, you can benefit a lot from this too. Let's say that your company is in New York and you have customers all over the country, by selecting your customer's area code, you can increase your sales, as well as your productivity by having a local number for your customers to call. Nobody wants to call New York if they live somewhere in Texas. They might as well call a local company in Texas.

Installing the Features and Accessories

As mentioned before, different VoIP providers offer different plans. Therefore, it is important that you always check with the service provider of your choice for a detailed listing of all the features provided by them. For residential customers these include Call Forwarding, Caller ID, Call Block, Do Not Disturb and Voicemail. For small businesses these include free fax lines, multiphone users and web integration. So, choose your VoIP provider wisely by taking into consideration the features and services that best fit your needs.

As VoIP technology advances, many other features will be introduced on the market, not to mention accessories that you can incorporate with your VoIP service such as VoIP phones, headsets and videophones.

Choosing the right VoIP plan is not that hard. All that is required is a little bit of research yourself and choosing the one that fits your requirements. You can always upgrade it later once your requirements change. One thing for sure is that VoIP technology is continuing to advance and revolutionize the way people communicate. It is such a shame if no one is taking the advantage of this great service. So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and jump on board the VoIP wave.

Download DVD To Iphone

In order to download DVDs to your Iphone, you are going to need a computer, some special software, and the USB lead that came with your Iphone, to connect it to the computer. Transferring movies from your existing DVDs to your Iphone is not at all difficult, so read on to find out how it is done.

It's worth noting that the computer you use to transfer the movies from DVD to your Iphone doesn't have to be a super hi tech piece of kit-as long as it is able to handle the movie files themselves, which are quite large, it should be fine. It is worth noting though that you will need something that has a DVD drive and a hard drive that is able to store such large files. It's not necessary for the computer you use to be connected to the internet, but you will need a piece of software called a ripper. This basically works by pulling the movie files from your DVDs and storing them to the computer, doing no harm to the dvd itself.

In order to download the dvd to your Iphone, you will first need to make sure your ripping software is able to save the movies in MP4 format, which is the only format that will work on the Iphone. Ripping software is usually really easy to use, and as soon as you have done it a few times it will become something you can do without even thinking about it. If you are lucky enough to have a nice modern hard drive with lots of space, you will be able to download the movies in one effort, and then transfer them all at once, saving you a lot of time.

As soon as you have all the movies you want on your hard drive, you will need to hook the Iphone up to the computer using the USB lead and switch the pair of them on. After a few minutes they should be ready to go, and you can use the Itunes software to transfer the movies onto the Iphone. It's a very easy process, and again once you've gone through it a few times it should become second nature for you.

This article contains all you need to know to let you begin downloading music to your Iphone, so I hope you found it useful for your own endeavours-happy downloading!
