A few months after the entry of the iPhone in Portugal, decided to write this article with the main features that make this gadget an object of desire and charm, that most of us aspire.
One of the strong reasons for wanting to have is the brand, Apple! The apple has always surprised us in terms of design and user experience (imac, ipod, etc ...) and the iPhone is a beautiful example of these values. The design of this "phone" is simple, but jump for all to see. A curvilinear design in shades of black and steel side, give it a look very hi-tech. The harmony of this device is worthy of a work of modern art.
Its graceful multitouch screen of 3.5 "which allows us to control the machine and the style" Minority Report. "We do zoom a picture by stretching it with our fingers, move it to one side or the other, rather commands intuitive. The image quality of this screen is superb, with a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels, gives a spectacular image, even in bright environments.
The iPhone presents a set of "eyes", that is sensors, enabling the unit to adapt to the external environment. One of the sensors is the most spoken of orientation sensor that rotates the screen when the iphone is in horizontal or vertical, allowing us to see a picture in all its size, if we simply put the iphone horizontally. The sensor of light gives an excellent image quality on the outside, increasing the brightness, and spare battery in dark environments.

Battery life when we hear music, is something remarkable, in thorough testing, using the iphone and ipod, it managed to above the 20-hour! Awesome!
The iPhone also comes with a docking station, which provides charging the battery. I was always fan of docking stations, they can be there to carry the phone in the correct place, and is much more convenient than walking when the demand of the shipper. To charge the iPhone in all it is necessary to wait between two to three hours. Nothing special! 
For the software team that the iphone is simply spectacular. For a device without keyboard, this requires a functional virtual keyboard. The iphone exceeded all expectations in this respect, with a keyboard completely innovative, functional and intuitive.
