iPhone Complete Reivew! Good, Bad, and the Ugly

iPhone review: The good, the bad and the not so ugly (CNet.com)

"
The good:

The iPhone is very attractive and feels like a quality product. Its large, glass-covered touchscreen is easier to use than expected and makes viewing pictures and video particularly enjoyable. Being able to change the display from portrait to landscape mode by simply turning the iPhone on its side is very useful, as is the multi-touch technology, which lets you make images larger or smaller by pinching your fingers on the screen. One of the features that most impressed the US reviewers was the iPod application -- the Cover Flow feature lets you browse through your albums by simply flicking your finger across the screen. According to the review, this is "Apple's most amazing iPod yet" and lets you do almost everything you can do on a normal iPod. Unlike an iPod though, you can view video content in widescreen and listen to music via a loudspeaker. Web browsing is much better than on any other phone, with the iPhone displaying fully sized pages. To pan around a page, just swipe your finger across the display, and the page moves accordingly. "Tap your finger on a link to open a new page and double-tap your finger to zoom in and zoom back out. You can use the arrows on the bottom of the display to move back and forth, while a multifunction button at the bottom of the display lets you open new pages and flick among them."Other noteworthy features include the ability to watch YouTube videos and find directions on Google Maps. Much touted is the ability to listen to individual voicemails by tapping on a list of them, rather than having to listen to each one in any particular order. Wi-Fi connectivity, missing on many smart phones, is present, and an automatic hot-spot finder lets you know when you're in a wireless area.

The bad:

Although the iPhone features a significantly better touchscreen than any phone currently on the market, there are some issues with it. When typing an email or text message ,the keyboard is displayed only when you hold the iPhone vertically. As a result, you can only type comfortably with one finger, which cuts down on your typing speed. Using two hands is possible, but it's pretty crowded typing with both thumbs while holding the iPhone at the same time. As for searching through your contacts and playlists, it seems that some people might find the touchscreen interface a little too fiddly. "We found it somewhat tedious to scroll through long lists, such as the phone book or music playlists. Flicking your finger in an up or down motion will move you partway through a list, but you can't move directly to the bottom or top by swiping and holding your finger. Also, the lack of buttons requires a lot of tapping to move about the interface."The review also cites a possible issue with call quality, saying that it was a little too quiet at times and that the speakerphone underperformed at times too. So if you're hard of hearing then you might want to test out the iPhone first before you splash out. Something else that might bother you is the lack of 3G, which makes browsing out of Wi-Fi range extremely slow. Rumours have it, however, that a 3G version will be ready by the time the iPhone hits the UK. Other issues that left the CNET.com team a little confused were things like the 3.5mm headphone jack recess being too small for standard headphones to fit into properly, and the lack of stereo Bluetooth, which means you can't listen to music wirelessly. The inability to manually drag and drop content from an iTunes library directly to the iPhone also vexed them, as did the lack of a video mode on the camera.

The conclusion:

Overall, the CNET.com team really liked the iPhone and even though there are a few small problems with it, most of these will probably be solved via software updates or in future models. Without a doubt this is the hottest gadget out there right now and you'll be able to get your hands on one later this year." -Andrew Lim

Review - Profit Lance: Legitimate or Scam?

Recently, I came across a new program that some of you may have heard of or have even seen before – Profit Lance. Now, having tried previous “get rich” products before with little to no results at all, I looked at this program with a very skeptical eye. I do not wish to waste my money on bogus so-called “programs” made by con artists out to rip people off blind. So, I tirelessly scoured the internet looking for anything negative about the program, any “scam” warnings from other customers. You know what I found? Nothing. Not one bad thing. I blogged in many forums asking people around the world if they have heard of it, and what they thought of it, and I got nothing but rave reviews from very satisfied customers.

With this, and knowing the product has an 8-week money-back guarantee, I decided to give it a go. I’ve been asked, “What is it like? What do I have to do?” and “What’s the catch?” First thing I will say is, there is no catch. Really! The creator of the program has basically made available a full online course (lifetime membership) on how to really make money from the comfort of your home – without having to pay a penny more than the purchase price of the program (under $100). No hidden costs, fees, or anything else you need to buy in order to see results. Honestly, I was even shocked by this. Every other program I've reviewed has baited customers into purchasing their program, then lays it on them that they now need to spend XYZ in order to see any profits at all - OR, they continuously call you, harrassing you into purchasing their upgraded programs and services. Bite me, right?

Great thing about this program is, you do not have to have a fancy business degree to participate. Even very green beginners are sure to achieve success as long as you go through his step-by-step processes. There is a TON of information, resources, and online video tutorials he provides (and updates regularly), and customer service is unheard of. Have a question? You can email the creator directly, and he will actually respond and try to help you with whatever your needs are. Try getting that from any other program!

Verdict? After trying this product for a couple weeks now, actually seeing the real notable results, and knowing the vast amount of information available to me will secure long-term financial gain with unlimited possibilities, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has ever been interested in it – anyone who has ever wondered, “Is it for real?” – and anyone who is looking to learn more about online profits, while making it. And, with their iron-clad money-back guarantee policy, you really have nothing to lose, and lots of valuable information (and money) to gain.

Try it for yourself, here: Profit Lance

Hi - I'm new here!

Being my first post, I'll keep it short, but I would at least like to introduce myself. My name is Robyn, I'm 25, and live in the Twin Cities (MN) with my husband and our pug. I am a computer programmer, web, and graphics designer, so I guess you could say I'm a tech guru by nature. :)

I will be posting more, so stay tuned!
