APPLE iPHONE 4
Love it or hate it, the iphone is the smatrphone to beat. The latest version as usual sports the coolest looks, the simplest OS and the biggest range of apps by far as well a adding social gaming network game center, a much better camera and, despite what you may have heard, improved reception. With the same processor as the iPad it’s speedy as hell to boot.
The iphone 4 is very well built. We’ve dropped ours several times and had no ill effects despite the massive noise that the toughened glass case makes on landing.
Another headline feature is the outstanding, high-resolution LCD screen. The iphone’s multimedia capabilities are generally hard to beat: the five-meg camera produces high quality stills in decent light and exceptional HD video for a phone. The music player is the same as on an iPod touch and video playback is also remarkably good thanks to the hi-res screen.
The new Game Center lets you show off your achievements and high scores and take on rivals over Wi-Fi, By no means all games support it as yet but some best sellers such as Flight Control do. Our only reservation is that it’s remarkably ugly for an Apple app.
Battery life is reasonable, though you’ll still have to charge it at least once a day. Reception, call quality and messaging are all very good, if not exceptional. The keyboard is excellent, helped by the best error correction around.
All told the iphone 4 is sleek, sexy and a joy to use. The only problem with the device is its sheer ubiquity-if everyone else has got one, it can’t very well be considered cool. Ah well, we can live with that….
