Cheap o2 Apple iPhones
It was formally introduced by Steve Jobs in his keynote speech at Macworld 2007. Is it a phone, an ipod, a communicator or is it a revolutionary moment in mobile browsing?
What’s so revolutionary about it for designers and developers? Well, in amongst features like a 160 ppi, 3.5inch touch screen display is a little snippet about it running full version Safari and Mac OSX. No, really let me say it again a different way: Safari just went mobile with the iPhone; the first phone to ship with a standards compliant browser as standard!
Flip the phone 90 degrees and the interface flips to landscape view with 480px of width. Safari, like all the other apps expands to fill the screen. Well, double tap any part of the screen and you zoom . Tap again and zoom again. Use two fingers in a pincer movement to zoom in and out in what looks like beautifully intuitive way . So you’ve zoomed but you need to scroll around the page to see something else. It’s a touch screen: Move a finger, scroll around; move two, zoom in and out. ITS BRILL. |
