People these days want something that can contain more than one benefit from one piece of item. What is that mean? People want digital camera as a video recorder too. As well as their mobile phone, they want one electronic device that could include camera, video recorder, access to the internet, video player, map, etc. Those entire requirements we can get from our mobile phone.
Who does not have a mobile phone in this 21st century? For person more than 13 year-of-age, it is very common to have a mobile phone. The reason to have electronic device can be vary, but I believe that most of them use it not only for calling or text purpose. In the 1900s until 2004, as I know mobile phone only provide call and SMS but these days mobile phone can work almost the same as computer. According to Paul Levinson (2009), people used to read, write, see, hear and produce new new media – the devices, or I can say people like to keep in touch with new new media although they are in work or public transport. That electronic device these days provides E-mail, access to the internet, high resolution of image, etc.
There are many website these days provide streaming or download movies. Let us think, if those movie watched from a low resolution devices, like Nokia 2005 version? Will you satisfied with that? I don’t think so. That is why people in the 21st century need a device that could provide a high resolution and a dominant screen to watch movies through their phone.
Iphone and blackberry? Iphone and Blackberry are two famous electronic devices in this world. In my country (Indonesia), I can say almost people above 15 year old have it. If I go to a restaurant or coffee shop, I can see a table with full of Indonesian put their Blackberry in the table. Yes, almost all of them. Why Blackberry is very famous? Because Blackberry provides easy internet access, and Blackberry messenger. Blackberry Messenger is an application that all blackberry users can keep in touch by sending image, text or voice note.
However, the fact is Iphone still in the higher demand since it has been published in 2007 than Blackberry in this world. That product that comes from Apple Company becomes a trend in the world. Why? Because Apple took an entirely different approach and focused on making web sites work on the iPhone, as is. Since iPhone runs OS X Safari, for designers it is only a matter of figuring out how to make web pages fit onto a small screen. Naturally, there are already several technologies that exist to help people browse when the content does not fit onto a screen - scrolling, paging and zooming. So Apple combined its innovative multi-touch technology with some old ideas, to deliver a complete browsing experience to the iPhone users. How well it will work remains to be seen. Particularly, will people be able to master multi-touch and will they like the experience of looking at pieces of a web page? If the answer is yes, then the iPhone will break the Web out of the WAP prison.
In the Iphone, user could watch movie or video via YouTube. Same as Ipod, Iphone could save videos that can be watch whenever the user wants. Do not worry about the resolution, Iphone provides a high resolution! As well as an access to facebook, twitter, Myspace, blogs and my more that we can get whenever and wherever we want, as we do not have to wait until we arrived at home and turn on our computer. We can see those website almost the same as we see them in computer.
The flat screen and high resolution of Iphone help user to get what they want in a short time, as simply as tap and drag their mobile phone’s screen. In my opinion that is the reason why people are really like to use Iphone.
“The better the mobile application, the more incentive for new new media to develop cool new mobile applications. But one mobile device more than any other ignited and now typifies new new media in everyone’s hands and pockets: the Iphone”, Paul Levinson (2009, p 187).
