The Apple iPhone 5 is said to be first device to be powered by the Cupertino firm's latest mobile software version. This is the all new iOS 5. On the software's official website, it promises to bring more than 200 features to Apple's popular operating system. One of these features is iMessage. This is a feature that was not present in the past.
What is this feature all about? To better understand this feature, let us take a look at one of Apple's rivals. RIM is well known for its Blackberry handsets. Blackberry smartphones are known for the Blackberry Messenger or simply the BBM. To date, this is the most popular mobile instant messaging service in that market. It allows you to send and receive messages without using up your monthly SMS allotment. It is coursed through the phone's 3G internet capabilities. Better yet, it does not consume a lot from your data allotment. It consumes such an insignificant amount of data. This means that you will not end up paying overages. The BBM will allow you to chat with friends just like you do with IMs optimized for PCs. Furthermore, it allows users to group chat. This is chatting with a group in a private chat room.
The iMessage mobile instant messaging service on the iPhone 5 is similar to RIM's BBM. You can chat with friends either via 3G internet or Wi-Fi. This will allow you to send and receive unlimited messages without spending a penny on SMS. In addition, it also allows you chat with a group of friends simultaneously.
With this IM, you are not limited to text. You can send or receive a number multitude of file formats. These include videos, photos, locations, and even contacts. This is more fun way of chatting. You will get to share more than just text messages.
The iPhone 5 with iMessage will also help you keep track of your messages. This is accomplished via delivery receipts and the optional read receipts. You can also see when your friend is typing in a message. This will save you the time of waiting for someone to respond to the text messages you have sent to a recipient. Lastly, you never have to worry about anyone eavesdropping on your conversations. You will enjoy secure encryption for the text you send or receive.
The iMessage IM service can be enjoyed right out of the box with the iPhone 5. Since it only works on devices running the same OS, the iOS 5 will be rolling out to other devices such as iPad 2.
