GSLO: Volt Manufacturing Nearing Completion

NEW ORLEANS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GoSolarUSA (PinkSheets:GSLO) announced today that the initial manufacturing run of its Volt Solar Charger accessory for the Apple iPhone is expected to be completed in the next 10 days.

“Anticipation for the Volt’s North American debut is well beyond our projections at this point”

The company received word Tuesday from Xiamen Solar Electronics (XSE), the Volt’s Chinese developer, that manufacturing would wrap up soon on the hotly anticipated gadget. GSLO ordered the mass production of the Volt Solar Charger late last month in preparation for the device’s upcoming North American launch. Earlier this year, GoSolarUSA signed a distribution agreement with XSE providing GSLO with the exclusive right to sell and distribute the Volt in North America, the world’s largest market for iPhone accessories.

“We’re understandably thrilled with the news that production of the Volt will be wrapping up soon,” Rohde said. “We’re more than eager to share this amazing device with iPhone users across the country, and given the recent news that Apple has chosen to delay the release of the iPhone 5 until the next fiscal year, we feel confident with our timing.”

The Volt Solar Charger is the only battery pack known to GSLO designed to charge the iPhone 3, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 with the same device. The high-tech accessory extends the iPhone’s talk time and battery life using a top-of-the-line, built-in solar panel and a 1500 mAh rechargeable battery. Initially, the Volt will go on sale in both black and white, bundled with a one-year warranty.

Apple fans interested in obtaining the latest environmentally friendly iPhone accessory as quickly as possible may need to be proactive, Rohde cautioned. GSLO’s first shipment of Volt Solar Chargers is expected to go fast.

“Anticipation for the Volt’s North American debut is well beyond our projections at this point,” Rohde said. “The best chance to get your hands on one of the first Volt Solar Chargers to hit U.S. shores is to sign up for our waiting list at GoSolarUSA.com.”

100 randomly selected people signed up for the device’s waiting list will receive a free Volt Solar Charger with no purchase necessary. To reserve your Volt, please visit gosolarusa

The Volt Solar Charger is a product of Xiamen Solar Electronics based in Xiamen, China. The iPhone is a product of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), which competes in the global mobile electronics market against Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:MMI) and Research in Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM).

iPhone OS 4 (iOS 4) Features Explained

On June 21, 2010 Apple Inc. released its most anticipated iPhone OS 4 now called iOS 4. This is a free operating system upgrade for existing iPhone and iPod touch users.

Apple claims that there are more than 100 new features added in iOS 4. While I haven’t seen that exhaustive feature list yet, there are some features that are large leaps in the evolution of iPhone. Existing iPhone users can upgrade to iOS 4 and benefit from these improvements. Here are some of the key features introduced in iOS 4 that are useful to everyone.

Multi Tasking

Ability to multi task is the single most anticipated feature, that became real in iOS 4. Until iPhone OS 3.x, iPhone/iPod touches could not run multiple applications at the same time ( except for some native applications such as email and iPod). iOS 4 changes that. With iOS 4, when the user presses the Home button to go to the home screen, the running application is pushed to the background. Pressing the Home button twice displays all apps running in the background. The same is shown in picture below.

Jailbreak Iphone 5 Is It Possible?

If youre looking for a way to jailbreak your I Phone 5 then you are likely to be disappointed…Again. Even though a lot of fake news is being released that a number of companies that they have successfully done this huge phenomenon that people across the world are waiting for, no confirmation from any reliable source has come as of till the moment. So yes, the process of Jailbreak I Phone 5 has not yet happened. But of course if Jailbreak IPhone 5 does indeed happen then a huge number of benefits and a comparatively small amount of things that you do not want can happen. If Jailbreak I Phone 5 does happen then some of the major benefits are that you can easily install third party apps. Third party apps are those which are not subject to approval of the official apple app store approval. So you can easily download these apps and make your I Phone an awesome app destination with both apple as well as non-apple apps. But do not ever forget that with great benefits always comes some or the other problems. In this case it is that you can never say how much of your battery life can be sucked out. While the apple app store revises all apps for their toll on your battery life you can never be sure what these third party apps can do to your phone. Jailbreak IPhone 5 can also another possibility. What it does is help you to unofficially unlock carrier locked I phones. But remember that each model has its own carrier and base band. But like it was earlier said, Jailbreaking can also cause a lot of problems. And no one knows what will be the effects of a Jailbreak I Phone 5 .the first ever jailbreak caused a lot of problems like affecting bank transactions. But, if you cannot wait for Jailbreak IPhone 5 then apple does offer you one choice. You can go for an unlocked version of I phone 5. It comes in a range of $649,$749,$849 for a 16 or 32 or a 64 gb version. Or there is an option where you get an Iphone 5 for just $199. But it again comes with a problem of chaining you to a specific network for 2 years.

White iPhone 4 Has Modified Lenses and Proximity Sensor

Earlier we told you that the White iPhone 4 is 200 microns thicker than the Black iPhone 4 and now, it seems, there’s much more to it than meets the eye.

The teardown of the White iPhone 4 by Apple Insider has revealed that the lenses and proximity sensors have been modified to fix proximity sensor issue and the issue of light leaking while taking photos.

The promotional images of the White iPhone 4 which are put by Apple on its official website also show that the front face of the phone has been modified to provide a better slit for the modified proximity sensor.



This only gets us to one conclusion that Apple had messed it up with the White iPhone 4 earlier but after nine months it has completely revamped the areas which had flaws.

iPhone 4 lovers can now get a White iPhone 4 for themselves without worrying about any previous issues. The only worry now, of course, is that the iPhone 5 could be arriving any time soon.

QUESTION: Are you getting a White iPhone 4 now? Or you’d rather wait a few months for the (White) iPhone 5? Please leave your answers in the comments section below.

 

The top iPhone and iPad apps of 2010

It’s official – Apple has announced the top apps for both the iPhone and the iPad for 2010. If you’re looking for Christmas gift ideas, you won’t go far wrong with this list – unless the person already has these apps!

The list is split into several categories including the top ten paid and free apps for the iPhone and iPad as well as the top ten grossing apps for both devices. Not surprisingly, game apps are some of the most popular in all three categories for both devices. Chillingo’s Angry Birds, for example, made it into all the lists except for the best free iPad apps. PopCap’s Plants vs. Zombies also made it into several of the lists. Old favorites like Tetris also made the list of top ten grossing iPhone apps.

Surprisingly, the list of top ten free apps for the iPad doesn’t feature many games. Instead, people seem to be using the device for other entertainment purposes like reading books (iBooks), listening to the radio (Pandora Radio) or watching movies (Netflix , Movies by Flixster – with Rotten Tomatoes, or IMDb Movies & TV). However, the top ten grossing apps for the iPad do include several games like Angry Birds, Plants vs. Zombies HD and Real Racing.

iPad users are taking advantage of the many powerful apps to turn their device into a work-compatible tool. Pages (word processor), Numbers (spreadsheet) and Keynote (presentation tool), and Documents To Go Premium – Office Suite all made it to the top ten grossing iPad apps for 2010.

Best Stock market apps for iPhone and iPad 2012

If you are regular investor and want to keep tab on the stock market  while you are not in front of your TV and watching CNBC ticker live then you need to have either iPhone or an iPad App. These apps will give you real time information of the stock market and also will help you trade.

I have tried several of the apps and I use my iPhone for all stock market transactions as well as news using some of the apps I am going to list below. Some of them are really useful and provide incredible value.

Stock Guru App for iPad – This is the one that I use for all my research on the stocks that I am buying or selling. It has a database of about 7000 stocks and it provides me with all the details like risk, valuations and the financial strength of a stock. There is this guru rating for each stock which helps to understand the stock better. In addition to guru rating there is this risk rating, risk profile and risk return chart. To any investor these are valuable parameters to screen a stock. There are many more ratings and fundamental analysis parameters that this app gives out. This is the one which is a must have for you if you do all your analysis yourself before buying a stock.  Above all this one has a user interface which is very good.

Iphone 4 Cases Are Very Much In Demand On The Online Markets

The iPhone from apple has been one of those inventions which actually revolutionized the way the world saw the smart phones. These phones have been a favorite in all the markets and the international markets were eagerly waiting for the next from them. The iPhone 4 is surely a super smart phone and apple has shifted gears to stand tall and match with the rivals. But the fact remains that these devices are delicate and one need to maintain them if one wants to maintain the appeal of the device. Now when it comes to a smart phone which is governed by the touch input, the screen plays the most vital role. All the inputs and the important functions are taken care of by the screen so screens need to be protected. The iPhone has a beautiful exterior made of a mixture of glass and metal which gives a very rich feel when in the palm. But to maintain this is not an easy task. One will surely need the iPhone 4 cases to keep their devices intact. Scratches are very common and can occur at any time. Even while placing down the phone on a surface the back can easily get scratched. Then there is the dust which can really block some of the functions or ports of the device. But the most irritating one has to be the fingerprints which can make the surface of the iPhone very messy. The last one has to be a nightmare as if the body of the iPhone takes the brunt of an impact then the cracks can spoil the whole appeal of the device. To avoid all this people use the iPhone 4 cases which are available in a wide range in the markets. The cases are available in a wide range of colors and made of various materials. The leather case is very much in demand due to its regal appeal. The aluminum cases are also in demand and they are available in various colors. These cases are made specifically for the iPhone4 and so it gives a perfect fit and complete access.

Tips for using Cydia, the third-party application store for jailbroken iPhones

Jailbreaking is the term applied to the process by which iPhone users can ‘unlock’ the handset’s mobile operating system. By running a simple process via the website www.jailbreakme.com, users install a new application named Cydia. Cydia gives users access to applications and features that were previously incompatible with the Apple mobile operating system.

Here are some tips and suggestions for ways to get the best out of Cydia.

♦  Always accept essential upgrades  ♦

Upgrades to the Cydia store are made routinely and you will be prompted when one is available when you first open the application. You can defer this to later if you want, but it’s best to make sure that you are running the latest version. You’ll need to complete the download process when prompted and then re-boot the application to activate the changes.

♦  Regularly review the Changes menu  ♦

The Changes menu will notify you when there are upgrades to applications that you have already downloaded via Cydia. Remember that previously, the iTunes store would have downloaded updates to your applications as soon as you synchronise your iPhone. This option effectively replaces that process. The Changes menu itemises available upgrades or allows you to upgrade all with one tap. The Changes menu will also present new or upgraded applications that you may not yet have downloaded.

♦  How to remove unwanted applications  ♦

On the iPhone, applications can be removed either on the handset or via your iTunes library. With Cydia, you’ll need to remove the application on the handset. To do this, simply tap the Manage button from the home page, find the app that you’re looking for and then tap Modify at the top right of the screen. This will allow you to Remove or Reinstall the application – click Remove to delete it.

♦  Search quickly for apps  ♦

To quickly find an app, simply tap the Search button bottom right of the screen. As you start typing text, Cydia will suggest responses based on what you have entered. If the search finds the app you are looking for, simply tap to download. One of the issues with Cydia is that the store will only present apps that are compatible with the current version of the software. Something you saw in the previous version may not yet be optimized for the new version. Changes and additions are regularly presented via the Changes menu (described above).

♦  Download the best apps   ♦

There are a number of apps available via the Cydia store that you can’t currently get if you haven’t jailbroken your iPhone – that’s the whole point! Qik is an extremely popular video calling application that has recently been made available via the Cydia store. Winterboard allows much more personal customization of your iPhone’s appearance. There are literally thousands of themes available and you can customize the appearance of icons, bars, buttons, keyboards and lots more besides.

YouTube is nothing short of a phenomenon but YouTube on the iPhone is dependant on a live Internet connection or a complicated process of converting the files. With MxTube this is no longer a problem. Quickly and easily download and save videos to your iPhone whilst you have an Internet connection and then watch them when you don’t without the need for any kind of file conversion.

♦ Final note  ♦

Remember that if you have jailbroken your iPhone, Apple will refuse to deal with any problems under the warranty. In the event that you do have issues, restore the handset via the iTunes store before you contact Apple.
