Incipio Destroyer Case for iPhone 4 Review
The Future is Now
For those of you who remember the late 1960’s TV show, “Star Trek” with Captain Kirk he used a mobile phone to communicate back to the Starship Enterprise. The mobile phone, then, was called a “communicator.” It was a rudimentary phone system with call place and call receive protocols; and the time setting for the show was about 250 years in the future, around the 23rd century. Now fast forward from the late 60’s to the first decade of the 21st century.
One of the first companies to take the mobile phone to the next level, offering a great deal more than just phone calls, Apple turned the mobile phone into a pocket sized PC. It supports Internet connections and offers multimedia-enabled applications that make the iPhone a customizable phone product. It took about 45 years to get to the “communicator” and it has easily been surpassed.
Captain Kirk would be jealous.
The iPhone 4
So Apple created the new style of mobile phone. The iPhone 4 is a touchscreen smartphone and it is the fourth generation successor to the iPhone 3GS. It is particularly marketed for video calling. You can access books and periodicals. Movies, music, and games can be at your disposal for downloading or viewing. You can access the web and get e-mail. The iPhone 4 was announced on June 7, 2010.
