iPhone unveiled at MacWorld Expo
Published by Jeff January 9th, 2007 in News.
In a move that was widely anticipated but vigorously kept under wraps, Apple Computer and Cingular announced a new partnership today in the creation of the iPhone. Apple has dominated the portable music industry with its wildly successful iPods and seen its computing market share dramatically rise in the last several years with successive successful introductions of new laptops, desktops and software.
In January 2005, Apple switched to Intel chips inside all new computers. With today’s announcement, Apple and Cingular seek to revolutionize the cellular industry as well.
The new iPhone is also an iPod and initial reports indicate the following features:
- Fully functional iPod which supports iTunes
- Visual voicemail: a first for any U.S. cell carrier
- Unique internet browsing capabilities
- Integrated calling/music fade
- 4 gig and 8 gig models available initially
