Top Ten iPhone Features for the Fashionista
By admins | October 2, 2008
We are pretty much obsessed with our iPhones and felt we must profess our love for the iPhone publicly. Not only is this every gadget you ever wanted, but cooler, it’s your new best friend and co-worker. It’s hard to explain to a non-iPhone user how much you are really missing, but as a designer you may relate if you have ever upgraded from a PC to a Mac. So below are our top ten favorite uses for the iPhone. (Feel free to use parts of this list as an example to your boss on why you should get to expense a new iPhone) In no particular order, here we go:
- Web Apps “Get all The Fashion” – This particular App. connects you to the RSS feed from InStyle, NY Times, Vogue’s style.com and more. So you are constantly updated with all the latest and greatest fashion news.
- Checking emails – Not only can you sync up your work/outlook emails to access them anywhere anytime, but it’s perfect for checking your personal email at the office. So you can now send any email without the worry that Big Brother is reading them.
- Surfing the Internet – Yes the real Internet, not the pseudo cell phone Internet. Especially fun if your company blocks Internet access. The iPhone allows you to shop trends, research ideas, and even look for a new job, all on the DL.
- GPS Map – The iPhone map insures that you will never get lost providing you directions, satellite images, and traffic. This is particularly helpful when heading out on shop trips, traveling, and trying to locate your favorite stores from anywhere.
- Reading 39thandbroadway.com – You knew we’d say that right?
- Web Apps “Ruler” – This handy little feature may not replace your measuring tape, but it’s nice to have with you, and useful for measuring small garment details on the fly.
- Web Apps “Currency Exchange” – Much needed feature for anyone who travels abroad often. Especially for those of us who are bad at math but good at shopping, and don’t forget to use it when doing expense reports.
- iPod – Rather than carrying a cell and an iPod the iPhone is all in one. So you can stick in your earplugs and listen to your favorite tunes instead of office drama.
- Camera – Ideal for taking secret shop trip pics instead of lugging around an actual camera. When you are trying to knock-off store samples or displays the iPhone is much more discreet, especially with no flash or loud noises. When you’re finished you can email them directly from your phone.
- Web Apps “Chanel” – Chanel is the first designer with a Web App that can be used to view fashion shows in real time, as well as, the latest brand news. This has proven to be such a great marketing tool for them that we expect many other designers to follow suit.
So you’ve read all of our reasons please feel free to add your favorite iPhone feature in the comments. Oh, by the way it’s a phone too! Thank you Steve Jobs and death to the CrackBerry!!!
