Many of my friends and family ask me "What is an
iPhone?" as they
see me holding it. What is so special about it? isn't it just a phone? What is all this fuss about? They wonder.
Think of the iPhone as a mini computer,
that
can run thousands of iPhone applications of different functions. What made this process so
unique and easy on the iPhone is the ability to download and install those
application from the iPhone itself.
You simply connect to an online store called the App Store that has thousands of applications to choose from. You install them
right from your iPhone, nothing else is needed.
With other smart
phones, you had to connect to your computer first and install your
application on your computer, and then sync to your mobile device.
Although, almost all smart phones are capable of
internet access and have an MP3 player, the iPhone just does everything simpler, more efficient and in a very reliable, easy and fun to use way.
It is the first multi touch phone with a 3.5 inch display. Visit the iPhone 4 features page to learn about the iPhone 4 retina display.

cell phone industry since its introduction. Use the iPhone VoIP capabilities to make Cheap International calls using SIP or Skype Out.

The iPhone software or iOS is so stable that you can forget about ever restarting. You will most probably restart your iPhone only if you want to update to a newer iPhone OS. If you run into a problem, then some iPhone troubleshooting might help you solve any iPhone issue.
"what is an iPhone?" is an iPhone question that will continue to fill the internet iPhone chatrooms and will create debates for years to come. The iPhone is a

phones differently, and now they expect a smart phone to do more than just
phone calls. This sever competition is good; It will push Apple to invent and produce
even more fantastic products from hardware and/or software in the future.
