The iPhone as an Internet Communication device

But wait - there's more! Not only is the iPhone a great phone and a stellar iPod, but it's also a full-featured Internet communications device with we're about to drop a bit of industry jargon on you - a rich HTML e-mail client that's compatible with most POP and IMAP mail services, with support for Microsoft Exchnage ActiveSync. Also on board is a world-class Web browser (Safari) that, unlike on other phones, makes web surfing fun and easy.

Another cool Internet feature is Maps, a killer mapping application based on Google Maps. By using GPS (3G or 3GS hardware) or triangulation (on hte original iPhone), it can determine your location, let you view maps and satellite imagery, and obtain driving directions and traffic information regardless of where in the United States you happen to be. You can also find businesses such as gas stations, pizza restaurants, hospitals, and Apple stores with just a few taps. And the Compass application (3GS only) not only displays your current GPS coordinates but also orients Maps to show the direction you're facing. Let's see your Nokia do theat!

You might also enjoy using stocks, a built-in-application that delivers near real time stock quotes and charts any time and any place, or Weather, another built-in app that obtains and displays the weather forecast for as many cities as you like.

The Internet experience on an iPhone is far superior to the Internet experience on any other handheld device.
