An iPhone in my hands

It is no joke. Today I played with an iPhone! Of course I couldn’t use the device as a phone since I am in Greece, but I did use everything else.

In a few words there is only one thing that I didn’t like: this iPhone was not mine. Everything else was fascinating.

First of all I ‘ve got to say that this device is something we have never seen before. It doesn’t look like anything we have seen before. After iPhone all other mobile phones look useless. It carries all the features Apple promised  and it would be of no use to mention here. What can’t be described by any video or presentation is the feeling and the way it interacts.

Apple did its magic again and this time is the most charming of all I guess. To use it it will take you 10’ or so. It is very easy to use it as a browser, as email software, as an iPod or as just a phone. It is equally easy to do anything in this device. Changing the settings took me moments and above all I never got lost or hesitated to do something.

The feeling of the device is like you ‘re holding a pearl. Mat surfaces make it firm. The screen is fantastic, it is the clearest and most accurate screen you have ever seen and touched. I use the device approximately for an hour and the screen remained crystal clear. The OS X makes everything flow like you ‘re in a dream. When you change the orientation of the screen the transition is so smooth that you want to do it all the time.

Typing is very easy though it didn’t look so in the beginning. I wrote an email very fast. I did 1-2 mistakes but I corrected them at once. Without reading any manual of course. The camera is very good, the sound is excellent like an iPod and widgets are as beautiful as in an computer. Pah… this device is a computer.

iPhone is so good that it is going to change a lot of things in the way we communicate and in the way we think of communication. It is an unsurpassable achievement of technology. And of course it is only Apple that could make it.
