New iPhone4 rocks

When the iPhone 4 came out on, I had to have one. I waited and waited and when it finally came by post, what I found was educational and exciting. Here is my overview of some of the new features and programs:

Siri — Have you heard of the new personal secretary that fit’s in your pocket? Well Apple Inc. has innovated Siri, an automated personal computing, question answering powerhouse of technology. Sounds like a mouthful, but it’s simple and user-friendly. So simple in fact, just press and hold the only button on the front of the phone and ask any question.
“Siri how do I get to Washington DC?”

In a few seconds, she will pull up the best route for you to get there.”

The same applies to asking Siri math problems, where to find good pizza, or how to find your way home. The sky’s the limit for this new program.

iPhone Camera — Two words that sum up the new iPhone 4’s camera are “incredibly awesome”; with a whopping 8-mega-pixel camera it’s by far the clearest resolution cell phone on the market. The new still face detection video records 1080p at a staggering 30 frames a second, so don’t worry about blurry pictures anymore. When you’re at the next big football game or Jay Z concert you can capture the moments in high definition.

IOS Operating System — The power that makes all this happen is the new IOS operating system. Over 200 new features show how Apple puts the “smart” into smart phone. It is faster with less processing time and with a better graphics card than anything on the market. Seamless integration between hardware and software is simply beautiful. The IOS 5 edition automatically updates from your mobile device. No longer do you have to plug your phone into your computer to access iTunes for those bigger updates.

iCloud — The iCloud is another great new feature that allows the user to share files and data between all the Apple devices. If you hypothetically downloaded your favorite song on you’re new iPhone with the new IOS 5 operating system, it would also be available for you on your Apple iPad 2 and your Mac at home, sharing all your files in iTunes with all your Apple devices through IOS 5.

Apps —When it come’s to games, the iPhone has come leaps and bounds. I had the privilege to play the new “Infinity Blade 2” and it was electrifying . Within two minutes of playing, I was fighting some sort of dragon in an epic battle to the death and I was victorious. There was a story plot that reminded me slightly of Elder Scrolls or Final Fantasy and the role-playing was addicting. The resolution and game refresh rate was both vivid and rapid, making the only obstacle to long-term play the amount of battery life available.
