IPhone
Jobs unveiled the iPhone to the public on January 9, 2007, at the Macworld 2007 convention at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The two initial models, a 4 GB model priced at US$499 and an 8 GB model at US$599 (both requiring a two-year contract), went on sale in the United States on June 29, 2007, at 6:00 pm local time, while hundreds of customers lined up outside the stores nationwide. The passionate reaction to the launch of the iPhone resulted in sections of the media dubbing it the 'Jesus phone'. Following this successful release in the US, the first generation iPhone was made available in the UK, France, and Germany in November 2007, and Ireland and Austria in the spring of 2008.
On July 11, 2008, Apple released the iPhone 3G in twenty-two countries, including the original six. Apple released the iPhone 3G in upwards of eighty countries and territories. Apple announced the iPhone 3GS on June 8, 2009, along with plans to release it later in June, July, and August, starting with the US, Canada and major European countries on June 19. Many would-be users objected to the iPhone's cost, and 40% of users had household incomes over US$100,000.
Jochen Claussen-Finks
Sliding Calendar invention in 1984. The conceptual idea of the calendar was to create something thin and intelligent smooth to use with one hand. The desired month is adjusted in a small window on the front from a code system on the back. The first company to use the calendar as a giveaway was IBM to promote the introduction of the Personal Computer with Charlie Chaplin as a cover print in Germany. The calendar works without a battery. After the white version, Claussen-Finks developed a relief surface for a black version of the calendar giving the impression of an electronic device. The permanent sliding calendar was invented by Claussen-Finks 24 years before Apple presented its first iPhone in 2008, where sliding on the screen with the finger appeared in an electronic consumer product for the first time.
