As you all probably know Apple came out with the new iPhone known as the 3G. Is it worth the hype? From my point of view, of course it is, Apple made it. Others might disagree, which is not a problem. I do have to give props to HTC, LG, and Samsung for coming out with products that are comparable to the 3G. Not, I don’t care what you say, the 3G can’t be touched! I don’t give any credit to any of them because they stole the layout from Apple. They did put their own little touch to the interface, but overall they copied it straight from Apple. The only mobile device corporation that is in the running with the 3G is Blackberry. Yes, I know Blackberry devices aren’t touch screen devices, but the OS that Blackberries are equipped with are very compatible with any computer you have. News has been released that Blackberry is coming out with a touch screen Blackberry, so I will be looking forward to reading about that. Anyways, Apple really worked to improve the speed and how the applications worked compared to the old iPhone. They truly listened to the consumers and did all they could to improve the phone to make it the best device consumers could possible get. Some attributes that Apple improved are the Maps and GPS application, iPhone in Enterprise, the 3G speed of course, and the application store. The new GPS application used a combination of Wi-Fi, cell tower, and 3G. Some added features that are equipped with the application are finding your location and of course points of interests (POI). Also, you can find directions to any place your heart desires. The last feature and probably my favorite is seeing traffic. Your iPhone can let you know where traffic is and is also capable of finding an alternate route to your destination. Next we have Enterprise. Apple really stressed the business part of iPhone through Enterprise. Enterprise is an application that stresses push technology. In Enterprise, you are given push email, contacts, and calendar. The second you change an appointment or meeting on your calendar, it changes it wherever you can access your calendar. This works great for the business world because it is instant. Apple introduced the application store when they came out with the first iPhone and the iTouch. It started to grow as companies made applications. Since the 3G has come out, the application store has been on a huge and fast growth spurt. The reason for such a fast and large growth spurt is because Apple has created an application that helps you create your own application. So basically you can make any application you would like by using the application creator that Apple has added to the iPhone. I can’t wait to read about the new Blackberry because I honestly think it will give Apple a run for its money.
