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.

Safari 4 Public Beta first impressions

I play with the new public beta of Safari 4, both on Leopard and Windows 7 for hours. Here are my first impressions:

1. It is a bit slower on Windows in general. You do not know if it is in the final version, but it is remarkable.

2. The biggest difference you will notice that the chips have been displaced upwards. I am not a little, but I do not think it would take too long. This has the effect of signals from the Opera and Chrome. I wonder if each tab is its own process of chromium.

3. The Windows version actually looks like a Windows application … not like you dragged from Safari on a Mac to a Windows desktop Safari 3 and paste buttons on the window above.

4. The installation went well for me, but there are reports on the Internet that have problems. May you have to do with the plugins installed third. If this poses a problem for you, try removing and reinstalling Safari plugins. More »
