| iDEN |
Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (iDEN) is a mobile telecommunications technology, developed by Motorola, which provides its users the benefits of a trunked radio and a cellular telephone. iDEN places more users in a given spectral space, compared to analog cellular and two-way radio systems, by using speech compression and time division multiple access (TDMA). |
| IMEI |
This is a unique serial number. Every GSM phone has a unique IMEI assigned to it. |
| Instant Messaging |
Instant messaging (IM) is a form of real-time communication between two or more people based on typed text. The text is conveyed via computers connected over a network such as the Internet. |

| iPhone |
The iPhone is a multimedia and Internet-enabled mobile phone, announced by Apple CEO Steve Jobs during the keynote address at the Macworld Conference & Expo on 9 January 2007, that is scheduled to be released on 29 June 2007.[1][2][3]
The iPhone's functions include those of a camera phone, a multimedia player, mobile phone, and Internet services like e-mail, text messaging, web browsing, Visual Voicemail and wireless connectivity. iPhone input is accomplished via touchscreen with virtual keyboard and buttons. The iPhone is a quad-band GSM phone, though Jobs mentioned in his keynote that Apple has a "plan to make 3G phones" in the future.[4] Apple has filed more than 200 patents related to the technology behind the iPhone.[5]
The iPhone is scheduled to be released in the United States on June 29, 2007.[6][7] It will be available from the Apple Store and from AT&T Mobility, formerly Cingular Wireless, with a price of US$499 for the 4 GB model and US$599 for the 8 GB model, based on a two-year service contract. Apple has also announced plans to make the iPhone available in Europe and Japan at a later date. |
| IS-95 |
Interim Standard 95 (IS-95), is the first CDMA-based digital cellular standard pioneered by Qualcomm. The brand name for IS-95 is cdmaOne. IS-95 is also known as TIA-EIA-95.
It is a 2G Mobile Telecommunications Standard that uses CDMA, a multiple access scheme for digital radio, to send voice, data and signaling data (such as a dialed telephone number) between mobile telephones and cell sites.
CDMA or "code division multiple access" is a digital radio system that transmits streams of bits (PN Sequences). CDMA permits several radios to share the same frequencies. Unlike TDMA "time division multiple access", a competing system used in GSM, all radios can be active all the time, because network capacity does not directly limit the number of active radios. Since larger numbers of phones can be served by smaller numbers of cell-sites, CDMA-based standards have a significant economic advantage over TDMA-based standards, or the oldest cellular standards that used frequency-division multiplexing.
It is now being supplanted by IS-2000 (CDMA2000), a later CDMA-based standard. It is used in the USA, South Korea, Canada, Mexico, India, Israel, Australia,Sri Lanka, Venezuela, Brazil and China. |
| iSync |
iSync is a software application published by Apple Computer. It runs only under Mac OS X and is used to synchronize data in iCal and the Address Book with .Mac and with devices including iPods, many SyncML-compatible mobile phones and Palm OS handheld organizers & smartphones. PocketPCs and Windows Mobile devices cannot be used with iSync, but are supported by third-party applications. Prior to the release of Mac OS X v10.4, iSync could also synchronize a user's Safari bookmarks with the .Mac subscription service provided by Apple.
Starting with Mac OS X v10.4, much of this functionality has been moved into the Sync Services framework, which developers can use to incorporate synchronization into their own applications. iSync, however, retains responsibility for synchronizing mobile handsets, Palm OS organizers and compatible smartphones. With the release of iTunes 4.8, the responsibility for synchronizing iPods under Mac OS X v10.4 has been delegated to iTunes. Synchronization with .Mac is now the domain of .Mac Sync, accessible through a System Preferences pane.
The current version of iSync is 2.4. |
| iTap |
iTap is a predictive text technology for mobile phones, developed by Motorola as a competitor to T9. It was designed as a replacement for the old letter mappings on phones to help in word entry on mobile phones. This allows an easier use of messaging and note-taking features. |
