Apple began work on the first iPhone in 2005 and the first iPhone was released on June 29, 2007. The iPhone created such a sensation that a survey indicated six out of ten Americans were aware of its release. "Time" declared it "Invention of the Year" for 2007. The completed iPhone had multimedia capabilities and functioned as a quad-band touch screen smartphone. A year later, the iPhone 3G was released in July 2008 with three key features: support for GPS, 3G data and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA. In June 2009, the iPhone 3GS, whose improvements included voice control, a better camera, and a faster processor, was introduced by Phil Schiller. The iPhone 4 is thinner than previous models, has a five megapixel camera capable of recording video in 720p HD, and adds a secondary front-facing camera for video calls. A major feature of the iPhone 4S, introduced in October 2011, was Siri, a virtual assistant capable of voice recognition.
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.
