You may just be finding out about the iPhone, which is soon to be released Apple cellphone. When you hear Apple you probably think about computers or even the popular iPod, a leader in the MP3 market. The iPhone is especially unique because it features the popular features of a cell phone including text messaging, a built-in digital camera, the ability to surf different web sites, check and send out Emails, and communicate through cell phone of course.

One of the obstacles that Apple has to overcome when designing the iPhone was the issue of having a device with a touch screen that is meant to ride securely in pockets, as well as press against a user's face when being used as a cell phone. For this issue Apple created special sensors which allow the iPhone to sense when it is close to an object larger than a human finger, causing there to be no input.

This may not sound that extraordinary as of yet but read on and you will be won over by Apple's newest creation. The iPhone doesn't really come with that many new technologies, but rather improved or smarter features. The most awesome feature of the iPhone is the fact that it is basically an iPod with a cell phone and other features. Not just an iPod but a video iPod. The new iPhone will have the ability to play your favorite digital music files as well as video.

Apple decided to make their iPhone a little different from other mobile cell phone devices by giving it an OS X operating system. This is an impressive and unique feature all in itself, and likely to be copied by other manufacturers and cell phone providers in the near future. This is one of the most advanced and secure operating systems that are out there right now. This makes it possible to enjoy features such as the Safari web browser, note taking applications, as well as other use features like the calendar, and the address book.

Apple has gotten rid of the keypad all together with the new iPhone, which comes with a 3.5 inch screen that is sensitive to the touch of a finger, no stylus needed. This means that when you need to call someone the buttons come up digitally, and when you want to send a text or Email you can have a virtual keypad at your finger tips. Find a cell phone that can deliver a virtual keypad along with an advanced video and MP3 player. When turned sideways the screen has a 16:9 aspect ratio similar to those in the movies and in many TV programs. This also means that you can view your video or browse the Internet in wide screen format.

It is easy to see why the iPhone has had such high pre-release reviews with different people who have been lucky enough to test the new device. The retail prices for the new iPhone are going to enter the market at $499 for the 4GB version, and only $599 for double the memory of 8GB. It is supposed to have a release date in June of 2007.
