Phone Features…
1. When a call comes in, you can silence the ring by pressing the Sleep/Wake button once. To send a caller directly to voicemail press the button twice.
iPhone Keyboarding Tricks…
1. Typically apostrophes are auto suggested. In some cases like “it’s” you may mean its and therefore the iPhone will not autocorrect as you may have meant to type “its.” Below are some suggestions to resolve this when typing certain words requiring an apostrophe…
• It’s – type itsa
• He’ll – type helll
• We’ll – type welll
• We’re – type weree
• They’re – type theyrr
2. Once you use a word that doesn’t exist in the built-in dictionary the iPhone will continue to use that word when you type it. Over time if you stop using that word it will forget the spelling and remove it from the dictionary. –Roughly Drafted
3. Typing by leaving your fingers on the keyboard and only lifting when the correct letter is displayed under your finger can be helpful when you first start using the iPhone keyboard. –Roughly Drafted
4. To avoid switching back and forth between ABC and 123 you can simply move your finger to the 123 button and without lifting your finger move it to the character/number you want to add, then lift your finger –David Pogue
5. If you have a lot of text to delete hold the delete key down and it will begin deleting letter-by-letter and eventually it will delete word-by-word if you keep holding it. –Roughly Drafted
6. No need to use the shift key after typing a “.” and then a space. The iPhone will automatically place a capital letter at the beginning of the next word, after a “.” space. You can over ride this setting by going to Settings -> General -> Keyboard and turning off Auto-Capitalization – David Pogue
7. Copying text is only possible from Notes to email. You cannot copy the text from an email to another email or to Notes, if you would like. If you would like to compose an email to multiple people, but you don’t want to send it to all the recipients in the same email, compose the text in Notes then send the email to each of them by copying the text in Notes to multiple emails.

Cut & Paste Gets Friendly with the iPhone 3G
Although you might have wished so, Cut & Paste is not a new feature embedded by Apple in the iPhone 3G. It’s a Japanese company that makes cases for various devices, and its latest products are two series of iPhone 3G cases. Weirdly named “Phone Bubble 3G” and “Phone Cube 3G”, the new set of cases are made of silicon, hence they should offer a high degree of protection for your beloved iPhone. The Bubble cases feature a bubble-like design (obviously) and come in four colors: White, Pink, Orange and Blue. Any of the Bubble cases measures 19 grams and, besides making the iPhone 3G look a little bigger, it also makes it look like a pillow. This is funny.
The Cube cases weigh 21 grams each and come in even more color versions: Simple White, Simple Black, Black & White, Pink and Brown. Despite its name, the Cubes series of cases doesn’t make the iPhone 3G look like a cube, but only like a fat(ter) handset with a cube-like pattern on it.
Any of the above-mentioned iPhone 3G cases will cost you 1,990 Japanese yen, about $19 or 12 Euros. To buy yourself a new bubbled or cubed iPhone 3G wrapper, you can visit Cut & Paste’s website, at this address for the first series of cases, or at this address for the second one. I’m not sure whether they ship their products outside Japan though, but you can surely ask them to.

The iPhone: A Consumer Perspective
Officially introduced to the public on January 9, 2007, the Apple® Inc. iPhone™ is the definition of a convergence device. It has the ability to play back music and videos on its 3.5” display, a unique ability for video/image displays to automatically flip between landscape and portrait views when the device is rotated, special software that makes finger-based scrolling easier, a Safari™ Web browser that shows Web sites in their standard format, and more options for users to access and listen to voice mail.
The iPhone is exclusive to AT&T customers (formerly Cingular Wireless), which may be a boon for the wireless carrier. The “must-have” nature of the phone will draw a certain group of customers to AT&T and away from other wireless carriers in the U.S. (assuming that they can extricate themselves from their current contracts). However, the million-dollar question is exactly how many wireless subscribers will switch carriers for the iPhone. Our consumer survey Mobile Entertainment Platforms & Services (Second Edition) shows the majority of consumers still consider network and voice quality as the most important factors for their choice of mobile carriers and only a small percentage consider handset design as important. Nonetheless, AT&T has extensive reach with its current customers – it now serves more than 62 million customers 2 , and its customer base has grown at least 40% since the end of 2004 (when Cingular Wireless operated the service). Given AT&T’s large customer base, an iPhone introduction could attract millions of users (Figure 1).

Macworld iPhone Superguide
As its name promises, the iPhone isn’t just a phone—it’s also an Internet communicator, offering Web browsing, e-mail, Google Maps, streaming YouTube videos, and Internet-updated weather and stock-market programs. To top it off, the iPhone is also an outstanding iPod. It’s sleeker than today’s trimmest full-size iPod, it offers a bigger and brighter screen than that iPod, and it is the first Apple device since the ill-fated Newton to offer touch-screen navigation. In short: This isn’t your parents’ cell phone.
But to unlock all that your iPhone can do, you’ll need to know your way around both the interface and the iPhone’s settings and preferences. In this chapter, we’ll help you familiarize yourself with your iPhone’s most important features and get you up and running as quickly as possible.
How to Stay in Touch with Calls, E-mails, and Text Messages The iPhone packs a lot of features into its slim frame. But first and foremost, it’s a phone. The iPhone includes most of the features you’d expect from a modern mobile phone, plus a few features you wouldn’t—including a new way of interacting with your voice mail. But the iPhone doesn’t limit the concept of communication to just calls. You can also use it to send e-mail or text messages to others.

GyPSii launches iPhone platform
The new web-based GyPSii iPhone application integrates its multiple services into a single interface, making it easy for users to enjoy a wide range of new and exciting location-based features and services, along with social networking – all using the fluid, intuitive touch-screen user interface of the iPhone.
GyPSii also confirmed that it would produce a “native” version of its application using Apple’s Software Developer Kit (SDK) which is scheduled to be launched later this week, providing seamless access for all Apple users, from the desktop, to the iPhone.
GyPSii CEO, Dan Harple, said he didn’t want iPhone users who were keen social networkers to have to wait any longer for the only social networking platform specifically designed for location-enabled mobile phones to be available for their handset. “We’ll work with the SDK as soon as it becomes available,” he said, “and then we will be uniquely offering both web and native versions of our application for iPhone users.”
GyPSii is taking advantage of its extensible product architecture enabling use of technologies (like Apple’s Safari) to make its advanced, geo-location features possible on the iPhone. In supporting these advances in web technology, GyPSii delivers an optimal location-based experience on a mobile device, or on a desktop computer, or even via a set-top box.

iPhone vs. BlackBerry: Which Do Consumers Love Most?
ChangeWave’s recent Smart Phone Wars report showed a rapidly evolving two-horse race between the Apple (AAPL) iPhone and Research In Motion’s (RIMM) BlackBerry - with second tier players like Palm (PALM) and a host of others being shoved to the sidelines. To follow-up, we took a closer look at the features users love and hate about their iPhones and BlackBerrys as part of our March 2008 survey of 864 smart phone owners.
If you recall, our previous report showed consumer satisfaction levels were sky high for the two smart phone frontrunners - with Apple boasting a 79% Very Satisfied rating for its iPhone models and RIM garnering a highly respectable 54% rating for the BlackBerry.
But what is it about these two brands that have consumers so very satisfied?
First, we asked RIM BlackBerry owners. By an overwhelming margin they told us the feature they liked most is the BlackBerry’s exceptional access to email (56%).

iPhone™ and iPod®touch Programming: Handling Touch Interactions and Events Sample
An essential part of any Web 2.0 application is the ability to respond to events triggered by the user or by a condition that occurs on the client: the clicking of a button, the pressing of a key, the scrolling of a window. While the user interacts with an HTML element, the entire document, or the browser window, JavaScript serves as the watchful eye behind the scenes that monitors all of this activity taking place and fires off events as they occur.
With their touch screen interface, iPhone and iPod touch are all about direct interactivity with the user. As a result, you would expect any Mobile Safari application you create to be able to handle the variety of finger taps, flicks, swipes, and pinches that a user naturally performs as they interact with their mobile device. However, because of the current capabilities of Mobile Safari browser, you have to work with these interactions differently from what you might expect.
How iPhone and iPod touch Handle Events
When working with touch interactions and events for iPhone and iPod touch, keep in mind that the finger is not a mouse. As a result, the traditional event model that web developers are so used to working with does not always apply in this new context. This is both good news and bad news for the application developer. The good news is that much of the touch interaction that iPhone and iPod touch are famous for is built right into Mobile Safari. As a result, you do not need to write any code to handle the basic touch interactions of the user. Flick-scrolling, pinching and unpinching, and one-finger scrolling are those sorts of user inputs that come for free. The bad news is that the developer is greatly constrained in his or her ability to work with the full suite of JavaScript events and override built-in behavior. As a result, certain user interactions that have become a staple to web developers now are impossible to utilize or require tricky, dumbed-down workarounds.

Why Apple Can’t Stop iPhone Hackers
It sure sounds like a steal. On Aug. 31, George Hotz plans to trade in his iPhone for a metallic blue Nissan (NSANY) 350Z sports car and three brand-new iPhones. But the 17-year-old’s device is no ordinary Apple phone. Hotz hacked his iPhone and unlocked it so that it can be used on a variety of cell-phone networks, becoming the first person known to have done so. The person buying Hotz’s phone, Terry Daidone, believes he’s the one getting the deal because Hotz has agreed to work for him at his cell-phone refurbishing company, CertiCell.
Daidone says he doesn’t plan to sell unlocked iPhones just yet. Rather, he says that he wants Hotz to teach CertiCell’s technicians the secrets to unlocking other kinds of cell phones. But that could change—if he can clear up legal questions surrounding the practice of unlocking mobile phones. “As the need arises to unlock phones, we should be at the forefront of that,” Daidone says.
Apple (AAPL) and AT&T (T), the sole authorized supplier of the iPhone in the U.S., are doing what they can to make sure that legal clearance never comes. The two companies have put their lawyers on the case, applying pressure on hackers involved in unlocking iPhones to try to get them to stop. Much is at stake. AT&T has been hoping that as the exclusive provider of the iPhone, it will see a surge in new customers and monthly service charges of at least $60 from each one. Apple is supposed to get a cut of the revenues. If iPhones are unlocked, they can be used on the wireless networks of rivals like T-Mobile USA—and AT&T gets zippo. AT&T wouldn’t comment for this story, while Apple didn’t return a request for comment.

Impact of the Apple iPhone on the Mobile Phone Industry
Although the press coverage of the iPhone’s impact has focused on its immediate effects on sales of competing products, the most important effect of the iPhone is its fundamental challenge to mobile phone industry power structures and product strategies. The iPhone calls into question how the mobile industry segments users and designs products, and as such its impact on industry practices may be far greater than its effect on phone sales.
The iPhone is a “candybar” style device (ie, without flip cover or slider). The front of the device is dominated by a touch-sensitive 320×480 screen, and it does not have a physical keypad. It weighs 135 grams: heavy for a simple “feature” phone (which tend to range from 80g to 120g), but light for a “smart” phone (which range from 110g to more than 200g). Hardware features include a quad-band GSM/Edge cellular radio (without 3G), WiFi (802.11 b and g), Bluetooth 2.0, and a two megapixel camera. The iPhone’s hardware features and configuration are comparable to those of other “smartphones” already on the market. For example, the HTC 3600 has a form factor and weight similar to the iPhone. The HTC device lacks 802.11g and has a lower-resolution screen, but has a UMTS (3G) radio, a memory card slot, and two built-in cameras.

Setting up Email Accounts on Your iPhone
You can use iTunes to synchronize email accounts to your iPhone that you have set up in Mail and Microsoft Entourage on a Mac or Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express on a PC.
You can set up and make changes to an email account directly on your iPhone. Your email service provider can give you the account settings you need to enter. However, changes you make on your iPhone to an email account that you synchronized from your computer are not copied to your computer.
Note: Synchronizing an email account to your iPhone copies your email account settings, but does not copy your email messages. Whether the messages in your Inbox display on both your iPhone and your computer depends on the type of email account you have and how it is configured.
