Apple announces the long-awaited iPhoneJanuary 9, 2007
During his keynote speech at MacWorld San Francisco on January 9, 2006, Steve Jobs easily lived up to the hype surrounding the much-rumored Apple iPhone, by announcing the first-ever iPod/mobile phone/internet communicator… a 3-in-one device called the iPhone.
Apple iPhone
- Patented, HUGE multi-touch display screen - NO KEYBOARD or tiny buttons! The iPhone uses combinations of fingers to scroll and navigate.
- Runs Mac OS X - which means all my favorite apps run on the iPhone, including Apple Mail, iCal, Safari and more!
- Built-in 2 megapixel camera
- Proximity sensor - fades volume and dims display when the phone nears your ear.
- Free Yahoo! email for every user!
- iTunes - listen to music and watch movies!
- iPhoto - show your photos to everyone in large-screen format.
- Auto-rotate - screen adjusts between widescreen and portrait when you rotate the device in your hand!
