iPhone Dimensions

Sensors in iPhone
The iPhone incorporates an accelerometer,which detects when a user switches from holding the phone in landscape to portrait mode, and automatically updates the image on screen to fit the mode. It also contains a Proximity sensor to detect when the phone is near to the ear, which automatically shuts off the display screen until you move it away to save the battery power.

Browsing

The iPhone is pre-loaded with Safari browser for better mobile browsing. The Safari browser has built-in Google and Yahoo! search.You can even display Google Maps as they were meant to be seen, and zoom in to view specific points and view Youtube videos.

1. Can I rave enough about the multiple party conferencing? You can add three or more, making a genuine conference call without a bridge line.
   
2. The display is phenomenal. In sunlight, it's visible. In ordinary light, it's knock-down brilliant. Video, etc is unbelievably nice.
3. The magnifying glass is a nice feature. Even offset to account for your enormous finger.
   Flicking and the scrolling-too-far metaphors in general are excellent and intuitive.
4. The decision to put YouTube into its own interface.
5. The iTunes-driven interface. Pulling updates will be seamless and an enormous advantage for Apple in the marketplace

Things they got wrong

Opportunities missed

1. Should have included that double-space-equals-period from RIM’s OS.
   


2. Lots of opportunities for efficiency/workflow improvements.
   


3. Contacts are only available through the ‘phone’ path.
   


4. Delete key? Not even a shift-backspace?
   


5. No Bluetooth sync is devastatingly disappointing to a guy who’s been waiting for the Apple Experience in phone ownership.
   


6. Mail inboxes don’t aggregate into a single ‘new mail’ view. This is a big deal if you have four email addresses for various work and play interests.
   


7. Could have used maybe one or two more physical buttons, perhaps around the perimeter or next to the home button. The ability to map these keys to some favorite functions or speed-dial would be a giant efficiency step.
   


8. Improved integration with Yahoo’s push email service. Jobs himself touted this aspect in the keynote, and it’s been totally glossed over in the setup and documentation, by both Apple and Yahoo. Anybody doing email, however, is going to be hungry for this feature to save some battery down the road.
   


9. The Mail client is a half-step too lightweight. There are no configuration options for ‘reply-to’ or other address masking, which would allow stronger use of the Yahoo! mail services. The whole ‘backfill-with-old-messages’ behavior is annoying.

Lets hope the release of an upgraded version of iPhone....

If we have a slow internet connection, we might have noticed YouTube videos getting stuck. The solution to this is to use SpeedBit Video Accelerator. This software will make your YouTube videos stream faster and play smoother by reducing buffering problems and video interruptions.
SpeedBit Video Accelerator is a product from the creators of Download Accelerator Plus (DAP).

Screenshot of the application.

How this work is that it makes more than one connection with the video file in the Youtube server so that it can download many video-file parts of the same video at the same time. The Speed Bit site gives us a pictorial representation.
