We had little problem accessing a variety of WiFi networks on and around the U.W. WiFi capability seems quite good, and the browsing speed improves dramatically from EDGE. Pages load in full-screen mode, which can be slow for large complex pages, and each page requires zooming in, which is a two-finger process.Īccess to WiFi, a wireless network for Internet access, is an iPhone feature. Other new web technologies, such as Google documents, aren't fully functional. The built-in browser is a flavor of their Safari browser, which cannot display pages that use Flash. Part of the service with the iPhone is the ability to browse the Web anywhere you have cell service using EDGE. However, during calls voice quality was excellent. In completely unscientific tests, the iPhone did not receive a signal in some areas when compared to other phones that use the same AT&T service. The earbuds that come with the iPhone have an integrated microphone, which is likely the cause of their design decision. You cannot use standard headphones with the iPhone, as the hole is too recessed. One annoyance is Apple's design of the headphone jack. Speaking of this interface, users will constantly be cleaning it as it quickly picks up fingerprints and smudges from use, making it difficult to see the screen after a little bit of use. All of the programs installed on the phone are available through the phone's touchscreen. The circular button on the front of the unit is used to access the phone's software. Other switches include increase and decrease volume and wake/sleep. Many other phones require the user go through menus to turn off the ringer. There are few external switches-one relatively rare feature is a switch that puts the phone in silent mode. The case is solidly built and feels comfortable to hold in one hand with its rounded corners and smooth yet durable glass front.
Here are our thoughts on its overall design, functions, and accessibility. The DO-IT technical staff team spent some time with Apple's much hyped iPhone, their latest addition to the crazy world of consumer electronics. IThought using the new iPhone would be an interesting experience (and it was). Intern Daren with Phase I Scholar Scott in the computer lab at Summer Study 2007.
