New (leaked) details about the iPhone - TechAmok
New (leaked) details about the iPhone - [mobile] 05:32 AM EDT - Jun,24 2007 - post a comment 
Apple has released
a 20 minute video tour of the iPhone. The video very much explains why you
should be standing in a line on the 29th outside a AT&T store.
In related news,
Engadget managed to smuggle out some freshly leaked details from a very trusted inside source who's been fooling around with a unit. Here's what they had to say:
- The keyboard was simply described as "disappointing". Keyboarding with
two thumbs often registers multiple key presses (two or three at a time)
resulting in a lot of mistakes. The best way to type is with a single finger
(as shown in most of Apple's demos), but two thumbs is supposedly very
difficult. After trying it for a number of days our source gave up using
their thumbs.
- The text auto-correction only works well for simple words, but doesn't
work for proper names. We can only assume this bit will get better with time
as Apple fills out its predictive text dictionary.
- "It won't replace a BlackBerry. It's not good for text input. It's just
not a business product."
- The touchscreen was said to, in general, require somewhat hard presses
to register input, and needs some getting used to.
- In addition to its dock, the iPhone comes packaged with a polishing
cloth (the thing's supposedly a fingerprint magnet, no surprise) and the
usual smallish power adapter.
- The Bluetooth headset will debut in the $120 range, and will come with
its own dock for charging both the phone and the headset. The headset will
feature a miniature magnetic charging interface á la MagSafe.
