Apple Offers iPhone "Get Ready" List
Monday, June 11th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by Bryan Chaffin
Apple has sent out a preparation list for would-be iPhone customers. The "Get Ready" e-mail not only lets users know what they can do to prepare for using their iPhone, it also includes what is effectively the most comprehensive feature list weve yet seen from Apple for the iPhone. Accordingly, we are posting the e-mail in full:
Get Ready for iPhone
iPhone arrives on June 29. iPhone features an amazing mobile phone, is the best iPod weve ever created, and puts the Internet in your pocket with desktop-class email, web browsing, searching, and maps. And iPhone makes it all easy to use with its revolutionary multi-touch user interface. iPhone syncs with your PC or Mac just like an iPod, so organizing your content now will help you start calling, texting, emailing, surfing, listening, and watching even faster when you get your iPhone. Here are a few suggestions to help you get ready:Contacts
Making a call with iPhone is as simple as tapping a name. You wont need to re-enter all your contacts because iPhone syncs with the address book you already use on your computer -- Address Book or Entourage on a Mac, or Outlook or Outlook Express on a PC. If you keep your contacts on the web using Yahoo! Address Book, iPhone can sync with them, too. To get ready for iPhone, organize your contacts in one of these applications and make sure theyre up to date with the latest phone numbers and email addresses. If you dont have contacts on your computer, dont worry. You can still enter them directly into iPhone.Calendar
Using its built-in calendar, iPhone lets you check your appointments with the flick of a finger. iPhone uses iTunes to sync with the calendar application you already use on your computer -- iCal or Entourage on the Mac, or Outlook on a PC -- just like it does with your contacts. If you dont already use one of these applications to manage your appointments, now is a great time to start, so youll be ready to sync when your iPhone arrives. If you choose not to use a calendar program, thats OK. Youll be able to enter appointments directly into the iPhone calendar.
iPhone is the first phone to come with a desktop-class email application. So now your phone can display rich HTML email with graphics and photos alongside the text. iPhone will even fetch your latest email every time you open the application and automatically retrieve your email on a set schedule, just like a computer does. iPhone works with the most popular email systems -- including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, AOL, and .Mac Mail. If youre not already using one of these services, now would be a great time to get an account. iTunes will make email setup on iPhone a breeze by automatically syncing the settings from email accounts stored in Mail on a Mac or Outlook on a PC. Dont worry if youre not on one of these email services; iPhone also works with almost any industry-standard POP3 and IMAP email system.Photos
iPhone has a 2-megapixel camera and a gorgeous 3.5-inch display, so its a great way to enjoy and show off your digital photos. iPhone uses iTunes to sync your photos from iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Photoshop Album, or any picture folder on a PC. You can carry thousands of photos on iPhone, but you can start by creating an album or two with 50 to 100 of your favorite photos, so that when you first sync your iPhone, youll be ready to quickly show off some of your best shots.Music & Video
iPhone is the best iPod ever. Its beautiful, 3.5-inch widescreen display allows you to easily enjoy the music, TV shows, and movies you have in your iTunes library. If you already use iTunes, you can start getting ready for iPhone by creating a playlist of a few hundred of your favorite songs. If you dont have iTunes, now is a good time to download it and start a music and video library. That way, when you sync your iPhone with iTunes, youll be able to take your favorite music, as well as a few of your TV shows and movies, with you wherever you go.iTunes Account
To set up your iPhone, youll need an account with Apples iTunes Store. If you already have an iTunes account, make sure you know your account name and password. If you dont have an account, you should set one up now to save time later. To set up an account, launch iTunes, select the iTunes Store, and click the Sign In button in the upper right corner of iTunes. Sign in and youre ready to go.
