As I'm sure you're all aware, the iPhone is an extremely advanced piece of technology, not to mention the most advanced phone created. I'm also quite certain that you've all seen some of the knockoffs that look similar to the iPhone. Don't let them fool you, because none of them are as amazingly advanced as the iPhone is.
During Steve Jobs' Macworld keynote this January, he touched on a few of the technological feats that make up the iPhone. To name a few, the Multi-Touch display, accelerometer for sensing the phone's orientation, proximity sensor for detecting when the phone is brought near your face, and an ambient light sensor for advanced power conservation. In fact, Steve said that Apple filed for over 200 patents regarding technologies within the iPhone. This is an amazing product, and one that Apple surely intends to protect.
If you've been wondering about what's contained within the 200 plus patent filings, the guys over at Unwired View have got you covered. They spent the last few months going through all of the patents Apple filed that pertain to the iPhone and have compiled a very interesting list for everyone.
To name just a few things, the list is comprised of the following patents: Multi-touch Screen, Multifinger gestures, Device integration, Multitasking, and the Accelerometer.
For the list in it's entirety, <a href="http://www.unwiredview.com/2007/01/16/apples-iphone-is-it-really-well-protected-by-patents/" target="_blank">check out Unwired View</a>.
