With it's new features the Apple's iPhone brings you the multimedia world at a tip of your finger.

The iPhone can be viewed as an widescreen iPod due to it's most important features: the integrated memory (4/8GB) which is more than enough to bring all the multimedia content you want on your phone and a touchscreen control with multi-finger gestures with no need for a stylus,that allow you to enjoy all your content, including photos, music, movies, audiobooks and TV shows. iPhone allows you to sync content from your iTunes library on your PC or Mac, making that content also accessible with just the touch of a finger.iPhone users will be able to scroll through songs, artists, albums, and playlists with just a flick of a finger.

The other strengths of this multimedia device are more or less Internet-oriented, since the iPhone offers exceptional web browsing capabilities thanks to the Safari web browser with integrated Google and Yahoo search plus the Google Maps application that can take you all over the world - unfortunately without a GPS receiver.

The Apple iPhone also features an amazing 2-megapixel camera, as well as a photo management application unlike anything available on a phone today. Users can sync photos from a PC or Mac, browse or email them with just a touch of the screen.
