iPhone

Do you need to fins the closest bathroom no matter where you are in the world? There's an app for that. What if you want to find a french bistro to eat at? There's an app for that. Do you need to travel back in time to do better on your economics final? There's probably an app for that too.
It seems as though any want or need you could have can be fulfilled by the iPhone's application software. The iPhone has changed the cell phone industry and started a whole new cultural movement that shows no signs of slowing down.

I personally own an iPhone and it's incredible how much it can do. It has navigation, e-mail, texting, weather updates, Internet, a camera, and of course over 100,000 apps. It has taken many separate products and put them all into one small device, which is perfect for Americans. We all want the most modern technology and the iPhone is the perfect example of this. The device leaves no need for things like nav systems, yellow pages, organizers, and even computers to an extent.

The iPhone does however come with a hefty price tag. The producers of the phone must assume that consumers will pay anything for the most modern and new pieces of technology, and they're right. When it first came out in 2007, the iPhone was between 400-500 dollars. That didn't stop people. I remember everyone wanted to get their hands on the iPhone, no matter what the price. It was a revolution in a sense. Now at only 100 dollars for the iPhone, "every pocket can have one".
