As if the rest of the world wasn’t enough, the iPhone takes the webmaster world by storm! The Apple iPhone has unquestionably shaken the technological world, managing to single handily drive both enthusiasts and every day consumers into an absolute frenzy. Armed with its colossal touch screen and flirting with its sleek and rather seductive design, the Apple iPhone has been widely dubbed the technological revolution of the year – and for good reason.
While the iPhone is gifted with a vast variety of features, ranging from its unrivalled cosmetic characteristics to its solidly developed internal applications, one must naturally question how far this nifty device is willing to extend its ground-breaking qualities into the business world – and more precisely, the webmaster domain.
Equipped with an extremely effective and consistent wi-fi feature, which is enforced with a first-class web browser, the iPhone allows webmasters to easily access their web hosting control panel, manage forums, or even make a blog post at the touch of a screen. The device allows a computer-like online browsing experience.
It’s reasonable to expect that something Apple defined as a phone, media player, and internet communicator rolled into one, would hold some sort of email capabilities – and let me tell you, the iPhone does not for a second fall short on this. Currently supporting POP3 and IMAP email, Apple has drifted away from the traditional use of standard mobile email, which seems to be excessively restricted. This means webmasters can easily receive support from providers (web hosts for example), assist users or even read alerts that have been dispatched to their email address.
In what may be one of its most valuable features, the iPhone is proficient in subscribing to RSS feeds, which without question is valuable to any webmaster.
While the standard iPhone is an impressive toy, it can be further pushed to produce a succession of generously proportioned features – at a cost. I’m referring to jail breaking, which in its simplest terms refers to hacking the operating system and therefore forcing the device to accept third party applications. Some of these programs include;
However my favourite application would have to be Telekinesis, which allows you to completely control your computer from your iPhone through the effective use of wi-fi.
Regardless of whether the iPhone is jail broken or kept in its standard form, this ingenious device is of benefit to practically anyone running a website. Its sleek design, flawless operating system, and vast array of practical and innovative features is the reason technological enthusiasts and everyday consumers are equally excited with this product.
