What is an iPhone, and why does everyone want one? Let me help you understand a few things about it.

Who made the iPhone?

The iPhone is a new device created by Apple, the same company that makes the iPod, Macintosish computers and Apple software such as OS X, iLife, Quicktime, and iWork. It’s existence has been rumored for years, but this is the first time an actual product is called the iPhone by Apple.

What provider is supporting the iPhone?

The only cellphone provider who will carry the iPhone is AT&T. Despite having a slow network for data transfers, Apple chose AT&T because they were the only company willing to offer Apple all the freedoms it wanted it creating, maintaining, and supporting the iPhone. And of course I’m sure Apple will be getting a cut from the monthly charges.

But isn’t the Motorola Rokr an iPhone?

No, the Motorola Rokr was a phone built by Motorola that supported iTunes and its copyrighted songs. The phone was actually not bad. Besides bad reviews and lack of advanced features, I was an owner and loved my Rokr. It has great stereo speakers, and had a feature where it lit up to different noises around it. But the Rokr was not the iPhone, and might have been a guinea pig for the real iPhone.

Doesn’t Cisco already make an iPhone?

Cisco owns the trademark “iPhone” and released a device called the iPhone. Their iPhone is a phone made to work via VOIP in your house. The Cisco iPhone would connect to your existing wireless network and use your internet to make phone calls. It is not a cell phone, nor does it play music. Cisco dropped their lawsuit against Apple for undisclosed benefits relating to the two companies working together in future projects and compatibility.

So what exactly is an iPhone? (more…)
