With more information about the iPhone’s features, accessories, and availability.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs said Apple plans to bring the iPhone to Europe in the fourth calendar quarter of 2007, and to Asia in 2008. www.rihey.cc
After more than two years in the making, Jobs Tuesday announced the company’s intention to enter the mobile handset market, unveiling the new Apple iPhone. The iPhone brings together several features of the iPod, digital camera, smart phones and even portable computing to one device, with a widescreen display and an innovative input method. Jobs also mentioned two accessories for the iPhone: stereo headphones with integrated microphone, and a Bluetooth headset that pairs automatically with the iPhone and goes to sleep to preserve battery life. www.rihey.cc
“Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything,” Jobs said.
Featuring a new input technology called “Multi-Touch” the iPhone features only a single physical button, called “home.” You control the phone by sliding a finger across its touch-sensitive 3.5-inch display, which has a resolution of 320-by-480 pixels at 160 pixels-per-inch display.
The iPhone, which runs Mac OS X, has full iTunes integration and can seamlessly sync data with a Mac, PC, or Internet service, including music and videos from iTunes, contacts, calendars, photos, notes, bookmarks and e-mail accounts.www.rihey.cc
The 0.46-inch (11.6-millimeter) thick device weighs 4.8 ounces (135 grams) and sports a 2-megapixel camera, volume control, ring-silent switch, 3.5-millimeter headset/audio jack, SIM tray, “sleep-wake” switch, speaker, microphone, and a 30-pin iPod dock connector. The quad-band GSM (850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, and 1900MHz) + EDGE phone also has 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 capabilities. Jobs noted 3G capabilities will come in the future.
Three smart sensors also help control the iPhone’s behavior. A proximity sensor shuts down the display and touchscreen when the phone is held to the ear. An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness to save power. Meanwhile, an accelerometer lets the phone know whether to display in portrait or landscape mode. www.rihey.cc
Despite the phone’s revolutionary features, Jobs claimed that the phone’s strongest feature was its redefinition of how calls are made.
“We want to reinvent the phone,” Jobs said. “What’s the killer app? The killer app is making calls. It’s amazing how hard it is to make calls on phones. We want you to use contacts like never before.”
A Visual Voice-mail feature allows users to skip directly to voice mails they want to hear. An easy-to-use conference call feature lets users connect two calls with one touch of the screen. Text messaging on the iPhone is similar to iChat, with user dialogue encased in bubbles and with familiar iChat sounds, and a touch keyboard appears below for entering text. www.rihey.cc
The iPhone uses its Wi-Fi and EDGE capabilities to automatically connect to the Internet. Internet connectivity includes HTML-capable e-mail that works with any IMAP or POP3 e-mail service. Jobs also announced that Yahoo will offer free push e-mail—similar to the e-mail system on a Blackberry—to all iPhone customers.
Apple also included its Safari web browser, and the phone can use its Internet capabilities to view standard Web pages, rather than WAP versions of pages. Integrated Google Maps functionality lets users look up locations, search for local businesses, and view satellite imagery. The iPhone also supports Dashboard widgets, and Apple announced it will include weather and stock widgets. www.rihey.cc
The iPhone’s photo management features are equally interesting. Its software enables users to use a “pinching” motion to zoom in and out of pictures, and to orient pictures in standard or landscape mode. When playing music, the iPhone can automatically adjust levels up or down as calls come in.

Digital camera memory is an essential and often overlooked piece of digital photography equipment. There are many types of memory and it's a good idea to consider what type of memory a camera uses before you buy your first digital camera. It's also important to make sure you have enough memory before you take pictures of an important event or leave for vacation. Although memory cards are reusable, they don't have a limitless capacity and it's always good to have more than you actually need. www.rihey.cc
Most digital cameras come with very low capacity memory cards. If you're shopping for your first digital camera make sure to budget for an additional card. It's a safe bet that the card that comes with your camera is woefully inadequate. And as camera megapixel counts grow, higher capacity memory cards become necessary. I started out with two 64 meg cards and now I have two 1 gigabyte and three 256 megabyte cards. www.rihey.cc
Most camera manufacturers publish tables on their Web sites to show how many images you can save on their included memory card. There is no fixed rule for the number of photos you can put on one card because different image file types, different amounts of compression, and image content all affect the size of each file. But the manufacturer's site is a good place to start when you decide how much memory you want. As a general rule, I'd recommend at least a 256 megabyte or two 128 megabyte cards if you're buying a 3-5 megapixel compact digital camera. If you want to shoot lots of high resolution TIFF or RAW files, then you'll probably want to look at 512 megabyte and 1 gigabyte cards. It's also a good idea to not save all of your photos on one card. There's always the possibility that cards can get corrupted, lost, or stolen. Using more than one and switching during a shoot protects your valuable photographic data. www.rihey.cc

When it comes to buying a digital camera, you need to ask yourself one question. “What type of pictures am I looking to take?” Then from that point on, try to envision the image perfectly in your mind, also how you would like then to turn out for others to see. From there on in, it can be easy clicking and all this can be done just by picking out what you are looking for in the features of a digital camera and the picture you have seen in your mind. Buying a digital camera should not be stressful.

Most digital cameras come with the essentials things such as picture storage and a viewfinder and other times when it comes to buying a digital camera, you will find that some extras may be helpful to you on making what envisioned seem real on paper or on a screen. Some digital cameras come with zoom, a self-timer and even flash, so choosing these qualities just might be right up your ally for great picture taking. One of the neat features that some digital cameras offer these days is a moviemaker or mpeg maker, this allows you to capture a few seconds worth of homemade film and can complement any picture you have taken. www.rihey.cc
Buying a good digital camera does not have to cost a lot of money for anyone, even for the beginner. The good thing about a digital camera is that it takes out the cost of developing the film at a local store plus the drive to the store and back. There is an instant gratification feeling, just by viewing the pictures on the viewfinder or they may also be downloaded from your camera to your personal computer. Almost all digital cameras come with software that can be installed onto your PC and it gives you full freedom of editing your pictures until you are content and happy with them. www.rihey.cc

Vendors and solution providers at the 12th Annual International IC-China Conference & Exhibition (IIC-China) demonstrated their MP3s, MP4s and digital photo frames with a new function and certified sell-point—Bluetooth. www.rihey.cc
Excelpoint Systems showcased its updated Bluetooth MP3/MP4 developed based on a CSR chip. Excelpoint engineers said, "These MP3/MP4 players with Bluetooth will bring some new application models and new experience to consumers." For example, when a customer is listening to his MP3 player and an incoming call comes, he does not need to take out his cell phone to talk, instead, he can talk directly via the Bluetooth-based MP3 and caller ID can be displayed in the MP3 panel. www.rihey.cc
The engineers explained that the application demands MP3 to integrate two new functions: Bluetooth Advance Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Bluetooth HandProfile (HFP). The first one is a specification defined by Bluetooth SIG for transmitting stereo music via Bluetooth, while the second is a new specification targeted at handsfree phones. The two functions improve audio quality and connection reliability to allow two audio packages to be transferred at the same time. www.rihey.cc
austriamicrosystems demonstrated a Bluetooth MP3 reference design composed of its two MP3 processors—AS3525 and AS3527—combined with CSR's BlueCore4-ROM. It also integrated CSR's BlueCore Host software into its ARM9 processor to run new Bluetooth specifications such as A2DP and AVRCP profiles. This added function will allow consumers to support Bluetooth home media entertainment system via the Bluetooth stereo earphone. www.rihey.cc
Even in the emerging digital photo market, the same trend was observed. The latest innovation in the digital photo frame seen during IIC-China was the addition of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB on-the-go (OTG) functions. These features allow various ways to get photos. Through the Bluetooth interface, users can download photos from a camera without connecting to a PC. Customers will also be able to transfer pictures in PC to a digital photo frame via Wi-Fi, and get data from camera via USB OTG. www.rihey.cc
Besides adding wireless connection function, the resolution of digital photo frames also improved. A SigmaTel executive said the digital photo frame they demonstrated used the STDC7150 processor with a resolution up to 800 x 600. "Digital photo frame is growing in popularity because the price has been accepted by customers. For example, the price for 7inch digital photo frame in the United States has dropped down to about Rs.4,412 ($100). China market is starting to accept digital photo frame, however the current price is a little higher than that in the United States."
