Apple, the software maker is more popularly known as iPhone maker these days. It is the most hyped gadget of recent times with a spectacular launch.
Dream gadget of users, wannabe device for style definers, and luxury device for rich people; it fits to all in each category. Its boasting looks and features have left others far behind in the race.
iPhone has been debuted in Indian markets also and for no surprise, it is selling like hot cakes. Host for a bundle of features and most significantly the touchscreen, the device lacks many basic features which are wannabe these days.
The article will enlist all such features:
Absence of Video Recording is the most disappointing feature of the iPhone. For INR 31,000, feature’s presence was must to have as is today found in most basic cell phones even at lower ends.
No high resolution camera: When market is flooded with phones having camera up to 8 MP, 2MP camera is still a very disappointing feature. It is really a very petty feature. Above all, optical zoom and flash are also missing.
Forget Cut, Copy and Paste: With smart PDAs in the market cut, copy and paste is a feature that makes its presence to be felt. But Apple is not in the same bag. It has stayed away from it and no surprise, has invited the rage from users. Usually, every PDA in the market is equipped with this basic utility but with iPhone you will have to type word by word everything same rather than copying it from say, like web.
No Bluetooth: Sharing of files or data on phones using Bluetooth is a common practice with cell phone users. But it seems that Apple has forgotten the fact while designing iPhone. iPhone can’t sync with Bluetooth stereo or in-car Bluetooth hands-free. It lacks A2DP on Bluetooth.
No Replacable battery: Most funny thing, you cannot change the battery of a cell phone at your own. This is really irritating but if you are an iPhone user, you will have to face it. To replace the battery, you have to send it to Apple store and then sustain for 2-3 days which is really very stupid thing to do nowadays.
Forget about sending forwards and MMS: Making it simpler, in nut shell it can be said that you can only send text messages or snapshots of e-mail texts, but completely wipe it from your mind that you can use your iPhone for sending MMS occasionally to your friends. Even sending the same SMS to multiple contacts at single point of time is rather a no feature and simply saying sorry impression for users.
The next sorry feature is the absence of support for Adobe files. In simpler words, you cannot view Flash files on your iPhone. Thus, the lack of Flash support for the Safari Web browser limits the access of several websites on the iPhone.
Above all and may be the most disappointing feature, it is really a tedious job to get support from operators in setting iPhone. No support for customizing ring tones. The feature that misses it on the list of professional users is the “push” email feature which is enjoyed by all BlackBerry users and is the best way for them to stay in touch with office while physically away from that.

Iphone Upgrade Rumour

Many customers that have purchased the iPhone have been pleased with its stylish looks and touch screen technology, but have been disappointed by some of its features. Fear not iPhone users help is at hand, and it’s been heard through the grapevine that Apple have the all the answers!
Rumours have been sparked about an upgrade by Apple to the firmware in the iPhone.
A major disappointment to the iPhone was the fact that you can only text one person at a time as it does not have a multiple text feature. The new upgrade will resolve this problem and is possibly the best part of the upgrade.
The upgrade will also allow Google maps to locate you with just one click by using cell tower triangulation.
You will also be able to allow icons to be rearranged by drag and drop with the added extra of being able to include bookmarks to your favourite websites and pagination (the ability to scroll through different homepages).
Unfortunately Apple has yet to confirm if or when the upgrade (1.1.3) will be released. In the meantime iPhone users will have to make do with the iPhones stylish looks and tolerate some of its more basic features.
When the upgrade is released it would be an added bonus if it allowed stereo Bluetooth support, gave the ability to copy and paste information/text from a website into an email, and adding a louder ring tone would be helpful. I think the upgrade needs upgrading already!!
