what can the IPhone not do?
The IPhone definitely does not come with large enough instruction manuals, especially about the Applications available to download. You have a complete array of costly and free downloads on many app downloading websites on your phone and the Internet.
It is actually amazing the things you can do, and how technology has advanced. I am new to the IPhone world so I have not gone much farther than maps, a couple games, facebook, and a few other applications such as one called "heyWAY" which is actually an interesting concept, it gives other IPhone users the option to request my location to know where I am with the GPS capabilities linked with the phone.
I did not know the intrigue of these phones/mini computers but now that I have one I do not know what I did without one before!
What can this phone not do?!
Just take a few minutes and browse the IPhone App Store

Here are a couple good links about the IPhone;

Invite ONLY
The article talks about the website www.ruelala.com. which sells discounted clothing. The way the company has marketed the site is, they have this event as a member only site which keeps the status of expensive clothes as being hard to obtain.
So i decided to sign up! see what clothes they had to offer.. and I was put on the waiting list, they told me they would e-mail me when they had space.
They have even added an IPhone application so their members can purchase clothing while on the move.
This website has been set up to sell designer clothing and keep the prestige even with the discounts. Such as if you were to go to Winners you know you are buying cheap designer clothing but you are aware by the environment it is a discount store. This Internet website takes that feeling and awareness away, marketing the site as exclusive from beginning to end!

On the beach.. Missed your favourite television show.. Hey, no problem!
I am sure by now everyone has been faced with the HORRIBLE dilemma of being out while your favourite housewives, survivors, or gossiping teenagers have been on TV. And I am sure almost all of us have turned to watching our shows on the computer. Well, why not? Its free...or it may just cost a very cheap price!
Today we are lucky we can be out of the house and away from a television without the panic of falling behind in our “stories”. There is a video on TED.com from the tech columnist David Pogue, where he talks about the internet success of iTunes and the “downloading war” in a very nice song melody he created.
This confirmed to me the realization of how much we rely on the internet for our entertainment. The success of the ITunes store is a perfect example of this. It is the legit way to get music online instead of the not so legal choices of the Limewires and similar websites out there, AND as David put it, “I can type in a track and get album names back while still in my PJ’s and socks”. Convenience, is a crucial C to the Ecommerce and Ebusiness world . With the click of a couple keys we can save ourselves the headache of traveling to the video or music store. Not only is there profit in the sale of the music, television shows, and movies but also in the advertising related to it
DONT FORGET YOUTUBE, stay in touch with the; she said WHAT!, he wore WHAT!, or the he cut of who during her acceptance speech! Stories for FREE while YouTube makes large profits on the traffic that we provide them. And now we can tune in on our mobile devices, especially since Apple Iphone has made YouTube a mandatory application. We are willing to pay for the Convenience, and the online entertainment business is a prime example.
