Google Nexus 4: The Android Monster Soon Going To Kill iPhone

Today I have a great news for all the android lovers, there are various news stories that are being shared about an android Monster called "Google Nexus 4" which is also being called as "An iPhone Killer".

According to Boy Genius Report (BGR) this device is expected to be powered by either Texas Instrument’s OMAP 4460 chip or an ultra low-power 28nm Krait-based Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm running at 1.2GHz or 1.5GHz with android 4.0 OS and 1GB of Ram. It means, no luck for Nvidia as earlier reports indicated that Nexus 4G will have Nvidia’s quad-core chip, Kal-El.

The unconfirmed smartphone may also boast a 720p HD "monster-sized" screen, and won’t offer physical Android menu buttons below the screen ,4G LTE connectivity, 1080p video recording and playback, a 5.0 M.P camera, and 1 M.P front camera for video chat.

Where as if we talk about iPhone 5 it includes an A5 processor ,large end-to-end screen with iCloud integration. If the iPhone 5 runs on the same A5 processor then the Nexus 4G will naturally have a competitive advantage with its 1.2 or 1.5 GHz dual core processor over iPhone 5.

Summing up, Nexus 4G is expected to have 3D features, Open GL head tracking for facial expressions and sensing. Meanwhile, the open source OS can allow developers to sync up various devices ranging from remotes, controllers, to bikes. This opens a huge door of opportunities for apps running on the next generation Nexus 4G. With all such specifications Google Nexus 4G can really become an iPhone killer.

iOS 5 Preview

Here is a look at the rumors, possibilities, and ideas of what may be included in iOS 5.

Beyond iOS 4

iOS 4.1 was just released and people are awaiting the announced iOS 4.2, but there is still a great deal of anticipation about what will be included in iOS 5. iOS 5, which will likely be released at the same time as the iPhone 5, will be the next major overhaul to the iPhone’s operating system and will bring with it a whole number of different features that should be new to the device. Some of these new iOS 5 features will be specific to the iPhone 5’s technology, as the iOS 4 was to the iPhone 4, and some will be more relevant to older iPhone models like the the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3Gs. Here is a preview some of the rumors and conjecture around what might be delivered with the release of iOS 5.

Push Upgrades

As many of the applications have developed, social networking and IM apps have become standard, and new iTunes features like Ping and Air Play have changed the way people use the iPhone, the infrastructure software needs to evolve as well. This means that the Push Notifications need to grow out of the simple binary format that they have had since the early days of the iOS. What we can expect out of Push Notifications in iOS 5 is not concrete, but we can at least hope for a much more specific form of Push notification.

Extend and Fix Multitasking

Multitasking has been great in theory, but the execution has not really been quite as stellar. An overhaul would be warranted in iOS 5 that would perhaps allow iPhone apps to work together a little more seamlessly. For example, the text message function could allow you to answer an incoming text message when you are working within an app instead of switching over. The iPhone folders could actually hold more items, perhaps up to sixteen or more. Overall the iOS 5 is almost certainly going to update the multitasking features now that Apple has had a chance to hear from customers, but the specifics of how this customization will hit iOS 5 are still unknown.

Integrated Apps

Along with the extension of the multitasking feature there could be an integration of a whole other range of features so that identifiable services could be brought into interaction with iPhone device specifics. For example, weather delays for your area could pop up using the changed iOS 5 Push Notifications and then allow for that to change your Calendar items. News updates could be filtered onto your iPhone and all of your social networking tools could begin to be integrated with their own intractable features. This would be especially true with the interaction with the Maps function, which should have elements that could be linked with every other app. All of these are relatively vague, but we can see with iOS 4 that Apple is trying to integrate all of these features and we can expect another step towards this with iOS 5.

4G Network Compatability

The main thing that people expect concretely is for the iOS 5 to support a 4G network, which AT&T has been promising for 2011. Obviously the iPhone 5 will support this with its iOS 5, but there will likely be iOS 5 4G network compatibility for earlier versions of the iPhone like the iPhone 4, iPhone 3Gs, and even the iPhone 3G. The 4G network will mark one of the most important steps forward for the iOS as the largest upgrade to the iPhone’s data network since the iPhone 3G. This iPhone 4G network will also hopefully be supporting FaceTime so that it does not require the use of a Wi-Fi network. The 4G compatibility marks the top of most iOS 5 wishlists.

RFID

Though many of the features of the iPhone and the AT&T contract with data plan have already given privacy advocates enough to cringe over, many people have begun to speculate that the iOS 5 will support RFID features. These iPhone RFID features would really only be in line if the actual hardware of the iPhone 5 would support it, but if it did then this would be the jump needed to allow the iPhone to serve as your credit card, car key, or medical identifier tag.

Is iPhone 5 release date near? Verizon to lower iPhone 4 price

New rumors say a leaked Verizon Wireless document gives clues to the much-anticipated iPhone 5 release date. Reports suggest a rumored iPhone 4 price-drop from the major wireless carrier will lead up to the iPhone 5.

According to Pop Herald, a leaked document shows the iPhone 4 with a price tag of $150 on a 2-year contract commitment. This new price is around $50 less than the current price of Verizon iPhone 4. Some are speculating the lower price may be an indication the iPhone 5 release date is coming.

The iPhone 5 specs rumors show the Apple smartphone will include an 8MP camera, dual-core processor, and iOS 5. The expected iPhone 5 release date is sometime in late August or September (according to rumors), but since Apple has yet to confirm they are working on the iPhone 5, that time frame seems unlikely.

Is the rumored iPhone 4 price drop related to the next generation Apple iPhone release? Or is this rumor only wishful thinking spawned from the minds of hopeful Appleites?

iPhone App Helps Make Drunk Texting a Thing of the Past

(PRWEB) October 05, 2011

For the people out there who love Texting, and especially love doing it at the wrong time, there’s finally an answer. The Textalyzer iPhone app uses a series of virtual sobriety tests to prevent people from sending text messages they might later regret.

The idea originator, Samantha Deeter, partnered with Appiction, an application development company, to create the Textalyzer iphone app. The visually stunning and easy to navigate app will only set you back $0.99, a bargain considering the humiliation the app can spare you.

The app itself allows users to create a list of people they shouldn’t be texting when their judgment is impaired (exes, co-workers, discriminating family members and friends), and then runs the app user through a series of reaction-based games before they are allowed to send an outgoing text.

If the user is unable to successfully complete the games, their text is held for 12 hours, at which point they’re asked if they still want to send the message. The user can even create customized warnings so they never forget why they want to avoid sending messages to a specific contact.

“This is to prevent people from doing the ultimate no-no,” Deeter said. “I was briefly single and would run around from time to time with girlfriends after work and on weekends and would always tell people, ‘I wish there was a Breathalyzer for phones.’ That’s when I got the idea.”

This cool, fun, and clever app has seen great immediate success. Within a week of being released in the iTunes Store, Textalyzer hit the ‘iTunes New & Noteworthy List’ along with reaching #101 on the list of Top Paid Entertainment Apps.

About Appiction – Located in Austin, Texas, Appiction LLC boasts a mature and experienced creative and technology staff of over 80 employees and remains the premier Full-Service Mobile Application Development and Design Company in the USA. Their highly creative and enthusiastic team of professional iPhone developers and designers has over 50 years of combined experience in building games, social media apps, business tools, specialty utilities and more.

When is the iPhone 5 Coming Out?

The good news for all Apple fans out there is that they may get to see the new iPhone on September 12, 2012. iMore has gathered information from trusted sources that the iPhone 5, along with iPad mini will debut on 12th September, and Apple will release the phone on the September 21, 2012.

In this year’s WWDC conference, there were some revelations like the new operating system for Macintosh – known as Mountain Lion, an improved Siri, changes in the GPS functionality, etc. One announcement that everyone was eagerly waiting for was the launch date of the iPhone 5. But, keeping its tradition of secrecy, Apple hasn’t revealed anything about the phone. The stoic silence on Apple’s part has allowed rumor-mills to come out with their own versions of the iPhone 5 launch date, something which has added to the excitement surrounding the phone. However, with this latest bit of information, fans can look forward to queue up outside Apple stores in September this year.

We all anticipate that the iPhone 5 would definitely have improved features than its predecessor. The price of iPhone 5 is expected around $800, in line with the iPhone 4S which retails at $750. Let us take a look at what all can we expect from the iPhone 5.

(Disclaimer : The device shown here isn’t iPhone 5. Apple has not officially released any image of iPhone 5 as of now.)

iPhone 5 – What Can you Expect?

4G

There is a high possibility that the iPhone 5 will work on 4G speeds. It is not clear whether it would be the faster LTE version or the standard version. Well, with the device all set to host a faster processor, it will be really great if Apple gets the 4G LTE on board.

Bigger Display

iPhone 4S is around 3.5 inches long (diagonally), and offers users a good view of images and web data, but with the likes of Samsung’s mammoth 5.3 inch Note, it may be possible that Apple comes up with a 4″ display. Succumbing to industry trends has never been Apple’s way of working, but won’t it be nice if we get a bigger iPhone, just to show them apart!

Near Field Communication (NFC)

NFC is a technology which allows a device to communicate and exchange data with other devices in close proximity. If iPhone 5 is NFC compatible, it will open new avenues for you to transfer data, make ‘contactless payments’ etc. This technology is going to be massive in the coming years, as it has been predicted that it would be used in healthcare, shipping, tickets, parking meters etc.

Improved Camera

Well, the 8 MP shooter on the iPhone 4S is good enough to take crystal-clear photos, but we guess the iPhone 5 will have a better camera. With the likes of HTC, Samsung and Sony Ericsson already dominating the smartphone market with 10 – 12 MP cameras, Apple has some serious competition in this segment.

Slim Design

The current trend in the smartphone segment is, “The slimmer, the better.” Some of the bestselling phones in the recent past have been slim and suave. Apple will be keeping an eye on this factor and this can mean that we get to see a leaner iPhone. The iPhone 4S at 9mm is reasonably slim for the myriad functions it performs, but in this era where a new Android phone is launched almost every week, the iPhone 5 will have to be competitive in every aspect. We won’t be surprised if new iPhone is a shade under 7mm.

Metal Body

For you who love the glass body of the iPhone 4 and 4S, this can be heartbreaking. It has been reported that Apple has roped in Liquidmetal to make a metal body for iPhone 5. If you love phones with a metal body, you will have one more reason to look forward to the new iPhone.

Standard Micro-USB Connector

Many users have complained in the past how iPhone’s 30-pin connector can become a nuisance, and the need for a connector that is industry-standard. Apple may work on this issue and provide a smaller Micro-USB connector, but whether it will be an industry-standard, is highly doubted, because if Apple implements a universal connector, it will put an end to the revenue it generates by charging licensing fee on accessories.

FaceTime on 3G

Honestly, video-chat using the cellular network is a feature that is long overdue. With the launch of the iOS 6, there is every likelihood that you will be able to make a video call without checking out whether you are in a hotspot zone. Exactly which networks will support this feature is not yet known.

Nano-SIM

It is almost confirmed that the new iPhone will host a Nano SIM. It will be smaller than the existing SIM card that is used on the iPhone 4S. Carriers in Europe have already started to make these Nano-SIM cards so that they are ready for the iPhone 5’s September launch.

From all the information that we have, there is a high probability that we will get to see the iPhone 5 in September this year. Till that time, keep your spirits high, but do not forget to keep your bank-balance leveled! Let us see, if this time around too, it changes everything yet again!

iPhone Spy Apps – How iPhone Spy Apps Can Catch A Cheating Spouse

There are many tell tales signs that a spouse may be cheating but confirming it can be difficult. The good news is that if your spouse has an iPhone, you can get your hands on an iPhone spy app which could help confirm or dispel your suspicions.

There is no doubt the Apple iPhone is the most popular cellphone, and chances are your trendy, up to the minute spouse is carrying one with them at all times. However, if your partner is not being totally faithful to their relationship that iPhone could be their weak link. Coupling the iPhone with and one of the many iPhone spy apps, can give you a valuable look at where your partner is in real-time and also has other features that can be useful when suspecting cheating.

iPhone spy apps enable you to secretly track your spouse by using the GPS locations of the phone to pinpoint where the cellphone is in real time. The locations are sent to a remote server which is accessed by the user through a web based interface. The website uses popular mapping software (Google Maps) to locate the iPhone on a map and provides time and date stamps too. This type of iPhone tracking application allows the user to know where the iPhone is at all times. So if your spouse is working late (again) or has changed their behavioral patterns recently, knowing where their iPhone is located might just be a good thing.

Spy apps for iPhone also allow the user to track calls, SMS messages and other key data on the selected iPhone. This information can all help build a picture of your partners behavior and can confirm your worst fears or allay your suspicions. One of the best advantages of using an iPhone spy apps is that it runs in total stealth mode, this means the iPhone user isn’t even aware the spy and tracking application is running and that the iPhone’s location is being logged.

In most relationships there will be times when we suspect our partner may be seeing someone else, that is normal, and an unfortunate feature of modern living. If our suspicions become too real we can become obsessed with the “possibility” of cheating, an iPhone spy applications can help us overcome that obsession by providing some evidence or cheating or not.

If your iPhone spy & tracking application is showing your spouse at the local bar, when he/she is supposed to be at work then it is time to confront the issue. If the application also provides evidence of SMS texts to the same cellphone number, particularly, at unsocial hours, then the evidence of cheating is becoming too much to ignore. However, a word of caution if the iPhone spy software is showing the same location every night and it is the local florist or jeweler shop then maybe you should relax a little and wait for the surprise that is undoubtedly coming your way soon. If that surprise doesn’t arrive then its time to suspect again and iPhone spy apps are probably one of the most cost effective and efficient ways to end the uncertainty.
