iPhone 3G. Business features
Building the Apple iPhone more enterprise friendly was a big dare for a gadget that deals mostly on the basis that it is an iPod nano with a smart phone inserted onto it. That doesn’t necessarily make for a winning combination for the enterprise.However, Apple company has taken important acts in changes and advancing the Apple iPhone device to not only appeal to a wider user audience, but also to make it more related for business customers, at the same period referring the concerns of many IT managers about the secure integration preferences between an iPhone and the business back-end.
The iPhone 3G is a great renovation of the first iPhone rather than a fresh product created from scratch. Original iPhone was a sound bit of engineering and worked properly. What it lacked was functionality very than requiring any major flaws in its model and operation adapted.
Apple has set about improving and widening the abilities of the iPhone. There are two models of iPhone, one with 8 GB of storage, the other iPhone with 16 GB. A new build of the iPhone firmware is iPhone Is 2.0, is installed on the Apple iPhone 3G as well as being ready for use to existing 2G gadgets.
The greatest hardware difference is the inclusion of Tri-band 3G, with both UMTS and HSDPA services, the latter delivering a important improvement in download speeds for webpages and other media.
The 3G models still have the 2-megapixel photo camera, and there is still no flash, mirror or auto-focus.
Except for hardware-specific characteristics like 3G support and a GPS receiver for navigation software like the Google Maps app pre-installed on all iPhones, the 2G and 3G gadgets are functionally identical.
The back of the iPhone 3G is plastic curved back in place of the grey metal case used on the original. This partly decreases the weight but has mainly been done to reduce cost , to fit the bigger accumulator fitted in the 3G unit and to ably help enhance reception. The switch to 3G have enlarged the power spending of the iPhone, so a partly bigger accumulator is required in order to offset the impact.
In the software, the business features are a welcome addition, with support for ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange push email which allows for synchronization of calendar entries and global address lists.
One minor thing has been made, the headphone socket is no longer recessed, enabling to user to use the wired headset or headphones of user’s choice, rather than using only Apple’s own headphones or having to use an adapter to entry the 3.5 mm socket with normal headphone jacks that won’t fit into the recess.
The handset of iPhone now supports Cisco IPsec VPN protocols with two-factor token authentication, as well as traditional certificate authentication or password.
The core software on the Apple iPhone has not really changed, but very has experienced a series of tweaks to allow more effective processing of data.
There is a clear improvement in call quality on the 3G gadget, whether the phone is on a 2G or 3G network, suggesting that some work has been done to improve the audio handling.
The standard software program set is no longer a limitation for customers wanting to do more or do custom jobs without resorting to unauthorized software program hacks, thanks to Apple company opening up the iPhone to create third party software development.
