Technology is crazy… I’m actually writing this blog from my iPhone thanks to the new WordPress App in the AppStore. Did I mention the WordPress app is FREE?! That means I’ll be able blog easily and consequently I’ll be blogging waaay more often.
Consider this post a test. Let’s see what this bad boy can do!
I was on the Apple website the other day and i ended up watching the 2-hour Keynote of Steve Jobs (Apple’s CEO) presenting the iPhone for the first time and i was blown away by a few features i was unaware of prior to watching the presentation:
1). VISUAL VOICEMAIL – This feature allows you to see your voice messages the way you’d see text messages in your inbox. In other words, you don’t have to call the number, enter your pin, listen to new messages and press 7 to erase or 9 to save. The messages are right there on your phone and you can listen to any message in any order with the push of a button. Unreal, i know. Why didn’t someone think of this earlier?!
2). GOOGLE MAPS – As if a full working version if Safari isn’t enough, Apple added Google Maps to their arsenal of iPhone aps. With this version of Google Maps you can find directions and locations on the fly AND also SEE everything the way you would on Google Earth. So basically… you have Google Maps + Google Earth on your phone!
3). CALL CONFERENCING – I know i probably won’t rely on this feature too much but it’s a really cool one nonetheless. On most phones, call conferencing is done by:
Calling the first party.
Putting them on hold.
Calling the next party.
And finally, connecting the two.
You can do that with the iPhone but you can also connect a call-waiting caller into a 3-way call. In other words, i can be talking to my friend Aldrine then receive a call from my girlfriend at the same time and connect the two onto the same call. Pretty cool huh?
These are just a few more reasons why i can’t wait to get my hands on an iPhone!
Apple’s first iPhone commercial that first aired during the Oscars:
Apple cleverly put together a montage of famous movie characters answering the phone and saying “hello,” which is the slogan for the iPhone campaign. After watching this commercial I felt that much closer to owning my own. June… can’t wait!
June… you will be mine!
