iEverything.

During the break, I'm hoping to learn more about the important tools that our guest speakers have spoken highly about such as certain software programs and Web sites including:
I cannot wait until the public release of Apple's iPhone. It appears that the device will pack the features of an iPod, a cell phone and a handheld computer. I'm excited that the product will be available to Cingular customers, because I've been pleased with my service so far. Also, by the time the device hits the public market, I may be due for an upgrade anyway. One thing I'm worried about is if the screen will be able to handle daily wear and tear or scratches. I know that the screen is sensitive and works through a multi-touch display by using your fingers but I'm hoping there will be some way to protect the screen.

This feature also sounds cool. According to Apple's iPhone High Technology Web site:

Built-in Advanced Sensors

"iPhone’s accelerometer detects when you rotate the device from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page or a photo in its proper landscape aspect ratio."

"The proximity sensor detects when you lift iPhone to your ear and immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches until iPhone is moved away."

"An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display’s brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light, thereby enhancing the user experience and saving power at the same time."

Too bad that Apple CEO Steve Jobs is like the only person who has one.
