New iPhone Unveiled

apple-summary1_1419743cApple Inc. released the newest version of the iPhone Monday, called the iPhone 3G-S. (the S stands for speed, not super stylish) The new model boasts a three-megapixel camera that shoots video, an internal digital compass and voice-control features that let owners use spoken commands to make calls and play music. (In other words: “iPhone: call my BFF and play Britney now!”) The first generation 3G was hardly your father’s beta device. The phone was next to perfect, with only a few elements causing complaint, such as its inability to use flash and the minor difficulty of the keyboard (things only guys seemed to care about).  Apple also announced that the iPhone 3G-S will look physically similar t0 the current version but will have significant software improvements. The most impressive news, however, is the price tag – $199 for the 16-gigabyte version. That’s less than an hour spent at Holt Renfrew’s last call! According to Rogers’ tweet, it is available June 19, so we needn’t wait long. No doubt the most enviable feature is Apple’s Application Store, where a myriad of applications are introduced daily. style-coms-mobile-application_aaa6192dI have a few favorites of my own - I suggest Vogue’s application Style.com - a go-to app for all fashionistas. It loads all of the latest runway collections in glossy, high resolution shots, that are only a sweeping tap away.  Another must have, and actually the first one I downloaded a year ago, is Chanel’s Application. It provides up-to-the-minute news on the luxury brand and even has complete videos of the runway shows.   Elle Canada also has an application which reports on news and celebrity gossip, while offering their daily style tips.  To manage your closet, I recommend Touch Closet, an application that lets you take photos of your wardrobe and then helps you create outfits with your own best pieces - just like Cher in Clueless!  Thanks to Apple and their new iPhone 3G-S, we’ll be able to keep up with the latest trends faster than ever. Now if only we could give the command:  ”iPhone: Put latest Louboutin’s in my closet!”
