ongratulations. You’ve selected one of the most incredible handheld

devices we’ve ever seen. Of course, the iPhone is one heck of a wire-

less telephone, but it’s actually four handheld devices in one. At least it’s

four devices right out of the box. With iPhone apps, your iPhone becomes a

PDA, an e-book reader, a handheld gaming device, a memory jogger, an exer-

cise assistant, and ever so much more. We discuss optional apps — how to

obtain, install, and delete them — throughout the book and particularly in

Chapter 14.

For now, we focus on the four awesome handheld devices

your iPhone is the day you take it out of the box. In addi-

tion to being a killer cell phone, the iPhone is a gor-

geous widescreen video iPod, a decent 2-megapixel

digital camera (original iPhone and iPhone 3G) or a 3-

or 5-megapixel camera/camcorder (iPhone 3GS and 4,

respectively), as well as the smallest, most power-

ful Internet communications device yet.

In this chapter, we offer a gentle introduction to all

four devices that make up your iPhone, plus overviews

of its revolutionary hardware and software features.

The Big Picture

The iPhone has many best-of-class features, but perhaps its most unusual

feature is the lack of a physical keyboard or stylus. Instead, it has a 3

⁄2-inch

super-high-resolution touchscreen (326 pixels per inch for iPhone 4; 160

pixels per inch for other models) that you operate using a pointing device

you’re already intimately familiar with: your finger.
