Bilgisayardan tüketici elektroniğine doğru kayan Apple, müzik dünyasında devrim yaratan iPod’dan sonra şimdi de iPhone adlı bir cep telefonu çıkardı.
İSTANBUL - Apple CEO’su Steve Jobs, iPhone’u San Francisco’da yapılan Macworld Konferansı’nda tanıttı. Apple iPhone’nun ekranı dokunmatik. Kullanıcı ikonlara dokunarak menüde müzik, internet, ses mesajı ve e-posta gönderebiliyor. Steve Jobs ayrıca Apple TV adlı bir video setini de basına gösterdi. Televizyona bağlanan 40 GB’lik Apple TV, bilgisayardan televizyona içerik aktarıyor. Jobs konuşmasında bilgisayar üreticisi olarak kurulan şirketin adının, yeni ürün profilini yansıtması için Apple Computer’dan sadece Apple’a çevrildiğini açıkladı.
Mac OS X işletim sistemi ile çalışacak, Microsoft Windows ile uyumlu olacak olan Apple iPhone’da 2 megapiksel dahili dijital kamera bulunuyor. Apple iPhone’un 4 GB’lik modelinin satış fiyatı yaklaşık 500 dolar, 8 GB’lik versiyonun ise 600 dolar civarında olacak ve Haziran ayında satışa çıkacak. Cep telefonunda Wi-Fi ve Bluetooth kablosuz standartlar? ve GPS bulunacak, ayrıca internetten Yahoo ve Google’ın servislerine bağlanacak.
İPOD’UN GÖLGESİNDE KALABİLİR
Bazı gözlemciler Microsoft’un da etkili olmaya çalıştığı cep telefonu pazarında, Apple’ın iPod başarısını yinelemesinin daha zor olacağını vurguluyor. Apple’ın müzik içeriği sağlayan iTunes sitesinden şimdiye dek 2 milyar şarkı, 50 milyon televizyon programı ve 1.3 milyon film satıldı. Apple, iPhone konusunda iPod’a göre biraz daha mütevazi bir öngörüye sahip. Şirket cep telefonundan 2008’e kadar 10 milyon adet satmayı düşünüyor. 2006’da 957 milyon adet cep telefon satıldığı düşünülürse Apple’ın hedefi pazarın yüzde 1’i.

Apple iPhone: “Talk to you soon”
Apple sends email updates to those who signed up for iPhone information today.
Talk To You Soon.
Thanks for signing up. You’ll be the first to hear the latest about iPhone— coming this June. That gives you just enough time to think of ways to break the news to your current phone.
Apple and Cisco on iPhone: “We Can Work It Out”
Apple and Cisco are apparently back on iPhone trademark negotiations. Cisco has posted a joint statement regarding the iPhone trademark.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. January 31, 2007 - Apple and Cisco have agreed to extend the time for Apple to respond to the lawsuit to allow for discussions between the companies with the aim of reaching agreement on trademark rights and interoperability.
Apple and Cisco have been negotiating the use of iPhone trademark prior to MacWorld San Francisco 2007. Apple was reported to have abandoned negotiations the night before Steve Jobs Keynote. Cisco immediately filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against Apple for the use of iPhone trademark following the introductions of Apple iPhone by Steve Jobs.

According to many reports, apparently Apple is holding “iPhone” trademarks in most part of the world with the exceptions of The United States and Canada.

According to some analyst Cisco might have lost their hold on “iPhone” trademark sometimes in 2006 for failing to use and defend the trademark.

iPhone Teaser
I got this email from Apple today thanking me for signing up, 3 months ago, to get news about the launch, 2 months from now, of their $600 phone, that I wont be buying. Do I want an iPhone? Yes. Did this email remind me of that desire and further stoke those flames? Yes, again. Will I stamp out that desire? Hell, yeah! If you suffer from iPhone lust, one of the 7 deadly geek sins, all you have to do is remind yourself that after just one fall, splash, crash or slip your $600 work of art becomes just another expensive brick. For all its beautiful looks and interesting functionality I predict that these things are as brittle as a CEO’s ego. While I’m sure they be tons more successful then the Zune I’m still gonna wait till prices drop and and specs improve before adding to Jobs family trust.
iPhone o próximo Zune?
Depois das críticas do John Dvorak, dizendo que a apple deveria abandonar o iPhone e de ter verificado algumas notícias em que a Microsoft se prepara para subsidiar a venda do Zune como nos telemóveis, não pude deixar de estabelecer aqui uma pequena comparação:
O Zune é um falhanço porque a Microsoft quis meter-se num negócio que não entende e para o qual não estava preparada, alimentando o negócio do Zune na força da base que possuiu ao nível do sistema operativo. Ora o sistema operativo da Microsoft alavancou a venda de Zunes, mas quando o iPod continua a a dominar o mercado de players de mp3, não se pode dizer que a Microsoft tenha um vencedor.
De momento o iPhone está completamente “na moda”, mas não posso deixar de pensar que a apple está a fazer exactamente o mesmo que a Microsoft, entrando num mercado que não conhece e alavancando o iPhone num sistema operativo (OSX Light!)
Será que o iPhone se vai transformar para a apple no mesmo que a Zune para a Microsoft? Eu acredito que sim…
Our iPhone Review
The Apple iPhone is a cross between an iPod and an advanced mobile phone and will be launched in the US sometime during June 2007 and in the UK around October 2007.
While it is clearly the most anticipated mobile phone ever released it is also full of innovative features and looks sleeker and more stylish than most other phones as well.
The casing is small at 115 x 61 x 11.6 mm and weighs just 135 grams and is available in sleek black or a pearly white colour. The main feature is the huge touch sensitive widescreen which acts as the main interface with the phone. At 3.5 inches and 320×480 pixels the iPhone has one of the biggest screens ever on a phone. Navigation is easy thanks to the touch screen and intuitive Mac OS X icon driven menu system
Like the iPod Apple have made the iPhone available in 4GB and 8GB versions. Battery life is good so you can play music uninterrupted for 16 hours. Talk time is apparently 5 hours.
As you might expect the iPhone has a photo address book with easy controls. Simply click on the persons picture to call them or send a text. Other nice functions are a favourite calls list automatically generated from the people you call most and a conference call feature.
Emails and text messages are very easy thanks to the touch sensitive screen which converts into a full QWERTY keyboard with predictive text and auto correct for any typing errors. Supported email applications include POP3, Microsoft Exchange, AOL, Gmail and Apple Mac Mail. Unlike a lot of phones the iPhone supports photos and attachments in emails making it more like a PC than a cell phone.
Our favourite feature is the visual voicemail application which shows new answer phone messages on the screen with options to listen, save or delete the message or call the person who left it. The date, time and duration of the message are also displayed on the screen.
The music player works in much the same way as an iPod and allows the user to scroll through tracks and upload or download to a PC. Album covers can also be stored and used on the iPhone which has an innovative search facility so you can scroll through images like you would flick through a filing cabinet.
Although the camera isn’t as good as some high end phones like the Sony Ericsson K800i it is capable of some very high quality images and offers editing software so you can touch up photos and videos without having to load the pictures onto a PC.
Internet access is amazing thanks to the large screen and makes the iPhone the best internet phone we have ever tested. Google is built in and you can use Google Maps to get directions based on your location. The internet is fast due to the EDGE connection and Apple have also given the iPhone Wi Fi so you can sync with other devices with ease.
Finally the coolest feature is the automatically changing screen that detects whether the phone is upright or in landscape mode and rotates accordingly.
iPhone Mobile Phone
