    Built-in Advanced Sensors

    This is cool.. your own accelerometer

    Built-in Advanced Sensors

    iPhone’s accelerometer detects when you rotate the device from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page or a photo in its proper landscape aspect ratio.
    The proximity sensor detects when you lift iPhone to your ear and immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches until iPhone is moved away.
    An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display’s brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light, thereby enhancing the user experience and saving power at the same time.

    Multi-touch Intelligent Keyboard

    Anyone here have a Blackberry? How is it's keyboard?

    Multi-touch Intelligent Keyboard

    iPhone features the most revolutionary user interface since the mouse. It’s an entirely new interface based on a large multi-touch display and innovative new software that lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flip through photos and email them with a touch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page — all by simply using iPhone’s multi-touch display.


    iPhone’s full QWERTY soft keyboard lets you easily send and receive SMS messages in multiple sessions. And the keyboard is predictive, so it prevents and corrects mistakes, making it easier and more efficient to use than the small plastic keyboards on many smartphones.

    I saw the article on this today and at first thought it was just another marketing gimmick... taking a normal phone and make it look cool (like razr)

    But the iPhone seems truly amazing. I already have phone-envy... Somehow the software "knows" if you hit a key by accident or really meant to press it. The graphics are so detailed for a phone. It's got every feature imaginable packed in there.

    I can't afford it though....

    Rez will have to buy one and pass it around.

    It will be the SUWNY on-call phone
