A better social network device: iPhone

Electronic device is getting new and updated nowadays since people have a demand of high technology in order to improve their life quality. For examples, people used cassette player or walkman to listen music, but later they chose CD or MD player, and now most of them probably are using mp3 player such as Ipod. The reason is that more and more features are improved and installed in the device to fulfill people’s demand. People are attracted by the most updated products because they are improving people’s quality of life. The article “Will There Be A (Successful) iPhone-Only Social Network?” by Michael Arrington in Techcrunch.com can support my point of view. There is no doubt that iPhone is one of the best soical network device.IPhone is not just a mobile phone, but a multi high technology features electronic device. Youtube, music, movie, photos, wireless internet, and GPS are the basic and popular functions installed in iPhone. In the article, Michael Arrington mentions that Fon11 is an iPhone based social network, which is a live phonebook and a friend locator. It helps the users to get know of the people around themselves. Although Ipod has a function of sharing music library in a local network, it is just a way of sharing files. Comparing to Fon 11 in iPhone, Fon 11 is an excellent way to help people having more friends, maybe they will become a couples later.Moreover, comparing to the video conference service in 3G mobile phone, meaning to make face-to-face communication simultaneously anytime and anywhere with using the 3G (third generation of) mobile phone (http://www.three.com.hk/website/template?pageid=41100&lang=eng), Fon11 in iPhone can have better archievement in helping people socialized. It is because even though people can see each other’s face during the call, people cannot socialize very much to know more friends who they did not know before by enjoying this features.Therefore, I would not say iPhone is the best and the most successful social network device in our community, but iPhone with the software such as Fon11 is really a very outstanding product to help people having or getting into a social life.
