iPhone Software 2.0 is here!

In this video, I give my initial thoughts on the iPhone 2.0 software. If you recall, I was excited about the new firmware (v2.0) moreso than the new iPhone 3G hardware. My excitement was well warranted as the iTunes App Store is absolutely amazing! The applications are abundant (there are plenty of free ones out there) and while I’ve only spent $5, I have almost 5 pages of apps! Some of my favorite apps are Pandora, Remote, Tap Tap Revenge, and Tuner, to name a few. Overall, I think Apple …

The New iPhone Web Applications

The new iPhone, works as a means to surfing the net, checking e-mail messages, and conducting daily business. It is basically a small computer in your pocket. You can have your favorite icons on the screen just as you would a desk top. And you can have as many as eight browser pages open at once.

However, the web applications of the iPhone make it worth every penny. Just what can you do with it on the web? You can do plenty.

First off, the applications allow a savings of time. It may take some time to adapt to this technology, as some applications will be new to you. One problem noted in many media outlets is the iPhone only works with an Apple Program called Safari. Once, Safari could only be used on Apple Computers, which was a minor headache for traditional PC buyers. On a personal note, I have an iPhone and Safari works great. Having access to the web at any time makes life and doing business a lot easier.

What are the other pluses? For any applications, pictures can be paramount in relaying your messages. The iPhone allows use of multiple kinds of images, including Gif and JPG. Up to 20,000 images can be downloaded to the 16 GB version if synced with iTunes. If you like watching videos online, you may doubt that you would be able to watch these videos. Actually, YouTube is built in to the basic iPhone, allowing for videos to be played, bookmarked, and even to find the most popular. Many other major web applications can be used, including Adobe Reader.
