New I-phone & what is has to offer

Wow what an exciting week this has been, if you are tech person. For me I have been connected threw my phone & laptop everyday & second.,going to blogs & reading up on the latest tech news. This week is internet week & apple days. With this we saw the release of the new I-phone.

Now here in the state of Iowa alot of us are farmers or just not tech savy when it comes to getting that great phone everybody else is talking about. I would just like to explain the Pro & Cons of getting a i-phone in the state of Iowa.

First lets explain what this new phone does.

* Sharper screen

In his Monday keynote address at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, Jobs sounded more excited about the iPhone 4's new screen than anything else.
With 326 pixels per inch -- four times that of previous Apple phones -- Jobs says the iPhone 4's "retina display" screen is years ahead of anything else on the market.
"Text looks like you've seen it in a fine printed book -- unlike you've ever seen on an electronic display before," he said. "Once you've used a retina display you can't go back."

Now I have not personally used the new I-phone but to be honest the look your not going to notice unless your a tech savy person. So in all honesty if you are not a HEAVY smartphone user to begin with. This feature really doses not matter to you right now.

*Better camera
The quality of the iPhone 4's camera is improved over previous models. The iPhone 4 shoots photos with 5 megapixels of resolution, compared to 3 megapixels before. That's still not the best on the market. The HTC Droid Incredible has an 8-megapixel camera, for example. The Nexus One, another competitor, has a 5-megapixel camera, too.
The iPhone 4 also shoots HD video, and a video-editing app called iMovie, which Apple will sell, allows people to shoot, edit and share videos with the phone.
*Video conferencing
In addition to the back-of-the-phone camera improvements, Apple also added a second camera to the iPhone 4, which faces its user. This can be used for video conferencing, which Apple and Jobs expect to be an emerging trend in mobile phone use.

*Multitasking
The iPhone's operating system, which Apple calls iOS 4, got an upgrade along with the iPhone 4's hardware. Among the most-awaited changes is multitasking, which means that the phone can run multiple applications at once. Want to listen to internet radio and check e-mail at the same time? Starting on June 21, you can with the iPhone.
Several other smartphones have featured multitasking for some time. So Apple is not blazing new territory here. Jobs says the company waited to add the feature until it could do so without sucking down too much of the phone's battery life.

*The iPhone 4 is only available with a contract from the wireless carrier AT&T. That's bad news for some people. Bloggers have been begging Apple to open the iPhone to multiple carriers -- and specifically to Verizon -- for some time. Some iPhone users, particularly those in bigger cities like New York and San Francisco, have complained that AT&T drops their calls and doesn't handle data requests quickly enough.

So while the New iphone has many things to offer when it comes to a smartphone. Keep in mind that you are stuck on one network & that prices are high. (Coming soon "I-phone Vs. Android in Iowa" )
