Apple’s iPhone training book has leaked onto the web. Here’s the key details that we’ve learned that are new. Either these were assumed, but not confirmed, or are new features/clarifications:
- Outlook and Outlook Express contact sync is supported via iTunes on Windows PCs.
- Multi-tasking is supported (making a call while doing other functions on the device). However, to continue using the internet while on a call, a user must be connected to a Wi-Fi network.
- Vibrate mode is confirmed.
- MMS is not supported, however, users can email photos as attachments using the email client, Mail.
- Only SMS chat is supported, iPhone will not function at-launch with any Instant Messaging service.
- Videos will only play in landscape mode, as seen in the TV Ads
- MEdia Net Home, AT&T Music, MEdia Mall, MobiTV, TeleNav, and Cingular Video (now Cellular Video) will all not be supported.
- Yahoo! Push Mail is the name of the free P-IMAP service. Alternative P-IMAP support was not confirmed, mostly due to the lack of alternative P-IMAP providers currently. POP3 and IMAP email support was also re-confirmed.
- Multi-tasking has been further confirmed in that Mail can download in the background while surfing with Safari
- Bookmark syncing supports both Mac and Windows bookmark lists.
