Get acquainted: Jim Dalrymple, news commentator of magazine Macworld and simultaneously happy owner of Apple iPhone with editorial task to test one of the most disputable moments of communicator of Apple - extremely modest by possibilities built in phone 2Mpix digital camera. Running forward, we will tell, that Dalrymple has formulated opinion quite indulgently - "a trifle, but it is pleasant".

Let’s look to the facts in person: when you buy a new mobile phone (especially under price of five hundred or six hundred dollars), your choice in last turn depends on quality of built in digital camera. For this reason in extensive list of things which I wished to test on just got iPhone camera testing occupied one of last positions. But to begin with we will freshen all information known to us: in Apple iPhone is used unpretentious 2Mpix camera without zoom support, and built in program Camera allows to look through finished shooting photos, to instal them as screen wallpapers, to use in a directory of communicator, to dispatch by e-mail and … to delete. And now, actually, slides. Sorry, photos:

If photograph of happy family of Jim Dalrympleit will appear to you insufficiently - search on photosite Flickr.com on tags "iPhone" and "camera" gives out an order of semithousand results.

The maximum accessible permission of pictures - 1 200 х 1 600 points (72 dpi, RGB), in memory iPhone makes average size of each photo of an order 550 Kb, access to the interface of camera extremely simple - click on icon Camera in starting menu then at disposal of owner there is a pair of virtual buttons - shooting and access to already shooted photos. In complete set there is a wonderful animated effect of a closed diaphragm:

It is better to see once, than hundred times to read - one of caught on YouTube videoclips with camera demonstration in iPhone in operation. At the same time also will see just mentioned animated photoshutter.

When connect iPhone to "Mac" automatically started iPhoto or Aperture which identify iPhone as the digital camera and start import of shooted photos - all it certainly conveniently if these applications did not have a foolish property to start without dependence from, whether is in memory iPhone pictures or not.

Other unpleasant trifle - absence of flashlight: if you shoot at bad illumination, be ready to severe losses in quality - here a typical example: on a shot a cat and a sofa in a diffused light flowing from a window, on a photo on the right, but jalousie at a window are lowered. Have you saw something?

And what will be conclusions from all aforesaid? Simple camera in phone could serve as a modest bonus to all other delights of iPhone. All focus consists in competently to use it in conditions suiting for shootings …

New post we will begin with a small portion of video - as known, opinions about method of input of text, realised in Apple iPhone (the virtual keyboard on the touch screen) were divided: someone from the very beginning remained quite happy with this decision, someone complains about absence of tactile return, and some are assured that to adapt to virtual buttons on the screen - is time only. The typical proof of the last spoken - found out on YouTube video with demonstration of rather fast press: it is less than for thirty seconds in a videocamera SMS message with an impudent and not politically correct phrase "People who cannot type fast on this phone are retarded" is entered - "on iPhone only mentally retarded people Slowly print".

A little arithmetics: ten words and forty four signs (53 with blanks) are typed within only fifteen seconds - it turns out on the average three and a half a sign in a second. For comparison, professional speed of typing makes 350-400 signs in a minute, that is 10 signs every second.

Other "gadget" of iPhone - built in spell check of the text in SMS - was obviously created with caution on inveterate problems with a correct writing of names of many products Apple. It is practically incurable: everywhere and everywhere you will come across Ilife, Itunes and Ipod instead of iLife, iTunes, iPod. In new communicator with this misfortune have managed to undertake simply and effectively: iPhone automatically corrects seditious typing errors on ideologically correct variants. It would Seem, Bill Gates should envy Job’s iPhone also for this reason …

… but, in Redmond very similar option is realised several years ago - at attempt to finish letter in Microsoft Outlook slightly non-standard XOX instead of usual "see you, later" system spellchecker has resolutely replaced a mysterious abbreviation on more comprehensible, in its opinion, a word - Xbox. And here attempt to understand with the term entered by analogy "Playstation" has come to the end with anything - built in spelling has appeared not in a course of existence of the whole ruler of games stations by Sony.
At last - a little perfect: having dared by all means to win competition with iPhone as the main prize, owner of a Flickr-account clarkbar6 has joined high art and has given out own version of one of the main evangelical plots - The Last Supper of Christ. It is better to see once:

On a question "who all these people?" We will respond a link to a page with the original: Just guide mouse at a picture and read corresponding comments. In the composition centre, certainly, Steve Jobs with legendary "Boom!" And iPhone in a hand, to the right sit CEO Google Eric Schmidt ("And it is possible for me one? Please …") and journalists David Pog ("I have simply gone blind from its magnificence!") and Walt Mossberg ("My press-urrre …"). Behind them top-managers from Microsoft (project head of Zune Jay Allard understands, that with Apple communicator there is nothing to oppose ) have taken places, and on opposite end of a table directors of Motorola and Nokia quietly panics - "It’s an end for Us, that’s iPhone!" . The most interesting moment in all picture are three apostles to the left of Jobs: Judas Iskariota’s place (right hand squizes bag with silver) has for some reason got to other Steve - Voznjak. Instead of lovely pupil John - Jonathan Ive near which physiognomy of main advertiser of Apple Fil Schiller is looked through. In an original composition there should be three times renounced from Christ Peter…

If you’re a developer looking to create applications for the iPhone and didn’t have the chance to attend Apple’s WWDC this year, they’ve been kind enough to post a webpage that will give you some pointers.

The website, which is called “Optimizing Web Applications and Content for the iPhone” has several sections that teach you how to “understand the capabilities of the iPhone,” “follow established design practices for the web” and “adopt iPhone-specific design principals.”

I’m no developer myself, but just looking through the page there is a lot of useful advice. At the very least it will be a great starting point for those that have an application that they are looking to make for the iPhone. They even give a list of useful websites you can visit to connect with other web developers.
