iPhone Browser Supports IDNs

[blastfromthepast]

Jobs announced that the iPhone will first be available in June 2007 in the U.S., Q4 2007 in Europe, and in 2008 for Asia. Availability for Canada was not officially announced by Apple but Rogers announced they would carry the iPhone Q4 2007. Quadband GSM+Edge, G3 in future.

For all us mobile web fans, one area of particular interest is the browser. The phone runs a limited variant of Apple’s desktop operating system, OS X, and hence the iPhone will be shipped with the platform’s Safari browser. Jobs really played this up at the show, showing how rich web sites could be accessed, and positioning the browser’s support for AJAX: “we’ve got Google Maps!”.

All the power and sophistication of the world’s most advanced operating system — OS X — is now available on a small, handheld device that gives you access to true desktop-class applications and software, including rich HTML email, full-featured web browsing, and applications such as widgets, Safari, calendar, text messaging, Notes, and Address Book. iPhone is fully multi-tasking, so you can read a web page while downloading your email in the background. This software completely redefines what you can do with a mobile phone.

Expect Chinese and Japanese users to be able to enter text using finger strokes.

Just like people do on the palm of their hand to explain Chinese characters in everyday life.
