Apple iPhone - Another Breakthrough ?

The Apple iPhone combines three products - a mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and an Internet communication device with email, web browsing, searching and maps - into one small and lightweight handheld. Offering an entirely new user interface the iPhone integrates a large multi-touch display and new software, letting users control iPhone with just their fingers. The iPhone allows users to make calls by pointing at a name or number.

iPhone’s accelerometer detects when users rotate the device from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so they immediately see the entire width of a web page or a photo in its proper landscape aspect ratio.

An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display’s brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light, thereby enhancing the user experience and saving power at the same time.
