The most recent Apple's invention and the latest craze is definitely an amazing new Internet communication device called iPhone. It is not only a mobile phone but also includes a widescreen iPod with touch controls. The present day phone has numerous features such as a high definition camera, video and audio recording, multimedia player, 3D games, touch screen, along with a virtual keyboard. The web purpose of the telephone includes a rich HTML email client and Safari - the most advanced web browser ever on a portable device - which automatically syncs bookmarks from your PC or Mac.
Although Apple is hoping that the vast majority of the unit users won't ever unlock their handsets to install unofficial software from third party providers, it is estimated that about 20% of the phones they sold are being "unlocked" by users. Take Fring, for instance, a third party mobile based WiFi application that allows users to make Voip telephone calls, Skype, MSN Messenger, ICQ, Google Talk(TM), SIP, Twitter, AIM & Yahoo! as long as there's a live internet connection. Through this application, Apple iPhone users can discover the freedom of having the ability to talk to their contacts and buddies from other communities on their own phones. It ought to be noted here that Apple will void the warranty on any users who "unlock" their devices. This warning, however, didn't seem to deter those internet savvy, music-crazed users who've got their mind set on "expanding" the functionality and usability from the phones. For these users, something like Fring could well be the killer application that attracts these users towards the darker side from the "unlocking" world.
