iPhone 4S (and a Free 8GB 3GS) Details!

 

 

At today’s Cupertino, California based Apple update conference, rumors were abound as to what new devices and software features Apple would unveil. Particular interest, of course, surrounded what new version of the iPhone would appear. Leaks were rampant as well, as Apple’s Japan Store let loose a paragraph on its website related to the iPhone 4S.

I know I am not the only one whose Apple balloon lost a little air at hearing that. At least, until I heard what the 4S was all about.

Today, Marketing Senior VP Phil Schiller took the stage and confirmed the iPhone 4S rumors, providing details about the new iteration of the world’s most popular mobile device, listed below for our readers, so they can either grate their teeth or take heart.

Retina Display, Blazing Graphics

The iPhone 4S will have a super-sharp retina display, with 7x faster graphics displayed on it due to Apple’s new dual core A5 chip. Game-based processing times, according to Schiller, will now be twice as fast.

Battery Life Up the Wazoo

Battery life has also been dramatically improved, according to Schiller, who stated that our teenagers will be able to talk to their friends for a whopping 8 long hours. As to the quality of these epic phone calls, the 4S will “intelligently switch between two antennas” to ensure sending and receiving call-based information is optimized.

Enhanced Downloading Speeds

Downloading your apps and other information will take half as long as it used to, according to Schiller, with an improved, whopping iPhone 4S 14.4 Mbps download speed, up quite a bit from the current average # Mbps rates.

8 MP Camera!!!

Tired of the 5MP limits of the iPhone 4 camera? Hey, I’ve got the 2nd generation and things really suck for me. But take heart! The 4S will have a slick and highly useful 8 megapixel upgrade built in, with images showing up at 3,264 x 2,448 pixels, a 60% increase from the iPhone 4. You’ll be able to see every pore in your Aunt Marianne’s face at the next family picnic as well, with a superfast shutter speed, an illuminated sensor providing 73% more light than the 4S’s predecessor, automatic face detection and built-in white balancing.

From what I can see, they’ve allowed photo taking using the sound toggle button on the side of the phone, so you can keep your fingers away from the screen.

iPhone App Development – How to Do Effective Marketing

iPhone is a huge success in the market. It is an innovative device with many useful features. It has large screen compare to other mobiles, screen is multi-touch, accelerometer provides opportunity to flip the sides of a rectangular iPhone and doc connector facility allow to connect third party devices with iPhone.

The most distinguished feature is that it allows third party applications development so you can create applications to suit your test or needs of your business. With iPhone app development you can promote your business as well. This kind of promotion would be inexpensive and effective for long run. It can expand your company’s exposure to broad based customers. It will set your company as an extraordinary one. It will give your customers an added value. You can keep your customers up to date. Cumulatively you can increase your sell.

You can join the list of growing number of companies that have discovered the power of marketing their companies via development of iPhone applications. There are plenty of companies in the market like Amazon, Target, Starbucks, Zippo, REI and many more. You can predict your company as a cutting edge pioneer company. The important question is that how do you do it.

Here is the secrete formula that you have to create something that is both highly useful and entertaining based on your company does. Once you successfully create the app give it free and you know free is always tempting people to download more. Who ever use this app will see your advertise or your company name. You can add info page in this app which tell about your company or can offer special promotional offers. When you submit this app to the iTunes store you are able to get thousands of users there. You shouldn’t stop there you should sent out press releases and upload on your website too.

Now question is that if you are not a developer then how will you get developed the app. There is a way out for this problem. You can register yourself as a developer on Apple store and give your project to the developers from outsourcing companies. Here I especially prefer outsourcing companies because they have such talents available at cheaper rates. Most of the outsourcing companies are operating from developing nations like India where skilled manpower is available at cheaper rates.

Celebrities Sparkle With Their Iphone 4

There are plenty of mobile phones out there that offer an extra level of sparkle, but it’s clear that the Apple iPhone 4 is proving to be one of the most popular with celebrities.

The device has been snapped in a famous hand many, many times since it was launched last year, here are just a few examples of stars that never leave their house without an iPhone in their pocket or Gucci handbag.

Justin Bieber

On multiple occasions, the pint-sized pop phenomenon has been seen out and about with his trustee Apple handset in tow. At one point, Bieber even tried to get his own back on the snap-happy paparazzi by holding up the phone and using its 5-megapixel camera to take his own picture of them.

As a regular Twitter user, the teenage singer has the option to reach his 6.5 million plus followers with 140 characters of celebrity chatter any time he wants and regularly updates his account using UberTwitter. This particular social networking app was launched last year after a popular spell on the BlackBerry.

Megan Fox

The actress shot to fame a few years ago following Michael Bay’s phenomenally successful Transformers movies. However, it isn’t just on the silver screen the fantastic Ms Fox can be seen face to face with a technological marvel, as she too is a keen iPhone user.

So far, the star has been seen waving down a car with the phone’s 3.5-inch widescreen Multi-Touch display and was also spotted cuddling up to husband Brian Austin Green for a picture using the device’s front-facing camera technology. Evidently, it seems the allure of the iPhone 4 is just as tempting for Hollywood as it is for the rest of us!

Victoria Beckham & Coleen Rooney

So while it’s clear the stateside stars have a lot of love for the iPhone, it seems our British WAGs also like to have this particular mobile phone tucked away in their designer handbags. In fact, two of the world’s most famous footballers’ wives have been snapped by the press with the latest incarnation of the Apple handset.

Wayne Rooney’s wife Coleen was seen relaxing on the beach with one last year and might have been using the gadget to keep up with her famous hubby’s on and off-pitch activities. David Beckham’s missus, former Spice Girl Victoria, was spotted looking typically stylish on one occasion, sporting the usual oversized sunglasses, designer outfit and – of course – her trustee iPhone 4.

So, while there are plenty of glamorous pay monthly mobile phones available, it seems the Apple iPhone is a long way from being ousted as a style icon. Available to everyone, it certainly seems like one way of adding a little glamour to your life!

Blackberry Vs Iphone Features And Specifications

Both phones have similarities and differences; the similarities being in the battery life and design. Ease of use got equal votes and largely relied on what people preferred. Some found the larger screen of the iPhone better and did not mind sacrificing the physical keyboard for the touch screen keyboard. While others loved the BlackBerry QWERTY keyboard on the Blackberry phones, because they claim it made typing simple and that it was a fair sacrifice for a smaller screen.

As far as user friendly applications are concerned, the iPhone clearly leads the front. There are thousands of applications available and though there are a couple of hundred applications which are pretty lousy, overall the iPhone applications are far better than those of the Blackberry.

Users tend to drop their phones accidentally and butter fingers like myself do that frequently. Designed for the road warriors, the Blackberry is by far more durable than the iPhone. The motion sensibility and the touchscreen of the iPhone remain unparallel. But the touchscreen has made the iPhone quite sensitive and as long as you do not drop it face down, it usually survives the fall. The iPhone however has come out with several protective cases that will more than protect your iPhone from any serious damage.

The advantage of the iPhone’s touchscreen and motion sensibility becomes evident with gaming. Comparing the iPhone and Blackberry in terms of gaming is like comparing a bicycle with a supersonic jet. Playing games on the iPhone is the best you can find in a cell phone and this is just one reason for the iPhones popularity. A variety of games can be played on it and the graphics are simply amazing. Blackberry lags far behind in this department.

When it comes to security, the fact that the most powerful man on the Earth uses a Blackberry Phone speaks volumes of its security features; the iPhone is way behind in this area, but by no means is considered to be unsecure. The CPU of an iPhone is faster and the memory capacity greater but the lack of voice Command and Copy Paste features lets it down a little compared to other phones.

The performance of both devices is outstanding where internet and Wi-Fi are concerned. Both devices browse the web well and access popular social networks with lightning speed. However in business applications the Blackberry is the clear winner due to its ability to link with Microsoft Exchange. Though the new iPhones are offering an MS Exchange Link, it will take Apple sometime to come up to the level of the Blackberry. Another area where it beats the iPhone is the ease of push e–mail. Roaming charges of the Blackberry are low compared to the iPhone and that’s why it is preferred by the frequent travelers who like to keep in touch with their business associates or family when they are on the move. Any changes made in the calendar or contact list in the PC in Exchange automatically appears on the Blackberry thus eliminating the need to do so manually.

Conclusion

The iPhone is faster than the Blackberry and comes with more storage space. It is the best choice for those who want a strong entertainment environment as the gaming options and the multimedia features are far superior to Blackberry. On the connectivity, security and business applications front, it bows down to the Blackberry. The Blackberry is hopeless at gaming and needs a lot of help when it comes to applications. However it makes up with its linking ability with the Microsoft Exchange server. Blackberry is a strong reliable business oriented device; while the iPhone is a hip, attractive device with a wide range of apps.

Apple to deploy fix for iPhone glitch

By now, everyone who pays attention to the cell phone craziness that is going on these days knows the story of the IPhone glitch, you know the one that doesn’t exist.  Wait, you have not heard of this?  Well as the story goes, users of the brand new IPhone 4 discovered a supposed glitch with the new device as is common with new products that hit the market.  After all, nothing is perfect and folks always find something not to like or something that does not work like before.  In this case, consumers complained on an antenna reception issue.

The difference in this case was that the good folks at Apple at first took the reports that were coming in and said balderdash, not with our device!  Ah, but give it a little bit of time, a few thousand more complaining users, and suddenly those same figureheads at Apple saying “no, not us” started to change their tunes.  Apple has now come out and admitted that the problem is actually a problem, and there will be a software fix ready to be deployed in a few weeks time. Well, maybe not so much.

You see, Apple admits there is a problem, but for the consumers out there who are actually experiencing the reception problem, the fix Apple are promising may not be what they want.  See, by Apple’s calculations, or in this case miscalculations, they are saying the problem is a software problem and not really an antenna issue.  In their minds, the reception problem is an illusion or perhaps a misconception.  Apple claims that an error in calculation on a formula used to displays signal bars on the IPhone is wrong and thus it is showing too many bars in areas with weak signal strength.

Apple puts an interesting spin on it, which makes you believe they genuinely think this is the issue.  Here is what they have to say, courtesy of: www.apple.com and mashable -issue/.

“Users observing a drop of several bars when they grip their IPhone in a certain way are most likely in an area with very weak signal strength, but they don’t know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars. Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place.”

So in laymen’s terms, Apple is saying that the reception you think you have was never really there, it was a display issue caused by bad programming.  Oh, well that explains it!  Well, until you look at some of the analysis that has been

iOS 5 Has Hidden Panorama Feature You Can Unlock, Here’s How

 

 

The camera within the iPhone 4S is a beastly piece of technology when compared to other smartphone cameras, including older iPhone and iPad models. It is an 8 megapixel camera which can take astonishingly great pictures. So what could make this even better one would ask? How about enabling a secret ‘Panorama’ mode found within iOS 5? I’d say "YES PLEASE!"

Conrad Kramer has found a way to enable the hidden feature without having to ‘jailbreak’ your iPhone, making this even more enticing.

Here’s what Conrad Tweeted about his rare find;

So, I found out how to enable Panorama is the iOS Camera app. Set the key ‘EnableFirebreak’ to YES in com.apple.mobileslideshow.plistBe careful though, as it is a bit ‘hackish’ still. If you sometimes have difficulty burning a CD or DVD, I wouldn’t attempt his instructions. If you’re OK with that (and voiding your Apple warranty on your iPhone), then you can have a look at the source link below and check it out. Also, for those who have a jailbroken iPhone running iOS 5, you could simply download and install the new ‘FireBreak’ app just released in Cydia which does the steps for you.

A Look At Two Excellent News Apps For The iPhone 4S

The iPhone 4S is a hugely popular mobile phone that benefits from the massive selection of additional applications that are available from the iTunes App Store. While many people like to use this service to download the latest games and puzzles some users would rather use their phone to keep up to date with the latest news from around the world. There are several excellent news applications available but we take a look at two of our favourite apps for this superb device.

AP Mobile is one of our favourite news applications for the iPhone 4S. Many newspapers and news stations cannot afford to have journalists in every major city in the world waiting for a major news story to break. Instead these services rely on freelance journalists and many of these work for the Associated Press. These journalists and reporters deliver their stories to major channels and outlets which are in turn broadcast to the public. The AP Mobile application cuts out the middle man by delivering these news items directly to your mobile phone. As there is such a large volume of content available this application can sometimes feel a little more complex than many others that are available but it does deliver a huge selection of stories from across the globe. The application includes video links and photographic content. For people who want a wide selection of unbiased news stories and reports AP Mobile may prove the perfect application.

If you would rather stick with a more popular service then the BBC News application for the iPhone 4S is one of the very best available. The BBC are based in England but have built a great reputation for providing news on a global scale. The BBC News website features a massive selection of stories but this can prove somewhat difficult to navigate on a 3.5 inch screen and that is where the official application comes in handy. The main news stories are presented in a manner that is more suitable for a mobile display and the interface is very easy to navigate. One of the really attractive aspects of this software are the customisation options that it offers to the users. If you are not really interested in politics but you like to keep an eye on the latest sport news you can choose what content is displayed on the main page. This saves you time in finding the stories that are relevant to you. The BBC News application is available for free from the iTunes App Store.

There are several great news apps available for the iPhone 4S but AP Mobile and BBC News are two of our favourites. AP Mobile may offer a wider selection of stories but the BBC services offers a more polished interface with more in the way of customisation options.
