Apple: Front Runner Of The Technology Revolution
By | December 25, 2008
Apple, the company that began the computer revolution, has remained a key player in the technology race. After all, we are talking about the company that introduced the iPod into the world. However, despite their leading role in the technology world, Apple has failed to establish their territory in the mobile phone industrythat is, until now. Now, Apple’s cell phone is quickly becoming one of the hippest and most desired new devices available.
Apple’s Steve Jobs announced that his company was developing a new cellular phone at the MacWorld conference in January 2007. This announcement about what we now know as the iPhone caused a worldwide sensation, because millions of people had been waiting for years for a single device combining the capabilities of an iPod and a cell phone. Months of media hype and press inquiries would follow, along with speculation about the iPhone’s price and array of functions. Consumers lined up for hours to buy the iPhone when it was finally made available to the public on June 29, 2007. The iPhone is roughly as large as the iPod nano. It is currently available in three different colors (white, platinum, and black) with more colors and other visual options as possibilities in coming months.
The Apple cell phone has the ability to do much more than simply play music and make phone calls. With an iPhone, the user can text message, take pictures, surf the Internet, watch movies and videos, send and receive mail, and store iTunes. Some wonder how such a small device can do so much, and others simply appreciate the technology they have right at their fingertips.
Ever since the widely anticipated release of the iPhone on June 29, 2007, it has been exclusively available through the Apple retail stores and through AT&T in the United States. Apple plans to release the iPhone outside the U.S. late in 2007. It was inevitable that Apple would enter the personal cell phone market. With its built-in customer loyalty and the excitement of a new product, Apple’s decision has so far proven to be a good bet.
