Top Mobile 4 U

The iPhone 4 will probably be replaced in September, though it still heads the field as one of the most desirable phones. We have decided to review the device more than a year on since its release.

Well the iPhone still looks as beautiful as ever; the glass back and aluminum finish really come together to make a great looking device. The simple monolithic shape is nice in the hand, its screen not big and imposing but not too small either. It weighs in at 135g and is certainly more suitable for carrying than some larger devices that leave a bulge in your suit.

The phone experience is fantastic. Apple’s iOS is a lovely operating system – clear, concise and sharp. The system has a number of innovations that have only recently been caught up with and it is a responsive system that really works well with the amazing Retina touch screen.

The screen deserves an honorable mention. It is still probably the best capacitive touch screen on the market, offering unparalleled accuracy of touch. It is also a very high resolution. The 3.5 inches of display manage to show more than the hallowed 300pixels per inch required for the retina screen and when zoomed in the device is fantastic – especially useful for web pages.

The browsing experience is also great and Apple has created a clean and also very fast browser. Its mix of excellent operating system and still fast processor and connections really mean users of Android devices are in for a surprise. Teamed with the aforementioned screen, the Apple is a real treat.

Apple also gave their phone a nice camera this time around – a change from 3GS and previous devices. The 5mp camera is a decent snapper and still holds its own in the market. The frontal VGA for FaceTime is also great and gives the device a lead on all other devices which weren’t frontal camera capable until Android 2.3.
Apples store is also excellent and really goes to show why to a large extent a phone is only as good as the applications available. The iPhone 4 is a lovely machine with well executed applications for everything from business to gaming.

So overall the Apple iPhone 4 on contract is still a dream to use and is far ahead of many of the other devices released by HTC, Samsung and others. The only thing that looks set to topple this device is a well designed and executed Apple iPhone 5.

What might be smaller than a SIM card? Last year, we have known the answer to this question – it’s named the 3FF SIM Card or Third Form Factor, Micro SIM which probably will make life easier for engineers, operators and come into a habit for many users.

But as far time goes on, our habits may have changed as well. Regarding Reuters , Apple with the support offer a new, even smaller form factor, which will let to create more delicate and miniature devices and stop manipulations with SIM cards which will become too difficult for ordinary people.

First Form – Credit Card Sized cards
Second Form – Stamp Sized SIM cards like you see in the image above
Third Form – microSIM
A 3FF SIM Card measures only 12mm x 15mm compared to the current SIM card which measures 15×25 mm

Blackberry made a name for itself with its excellent messenger service, BBM, which allows users to IM for free regardless of where they are in the world. The iPhone is invading this territory as developers have created apps that allow a similar level of free communication through messenger and international conference call.

Long distance calls are becoming increasingly easy for iPhone users. A company called Powwownow has developed a conference call app which allows users to set up calls and chat with colleagues across the globe – the only fee associated with this is the cost of the call itself. Skype can also be used on iPhones: this allows users to pay for calls to landlines or make free ones to other Skype users. This service has recently incorporated the phone’s front-facing camera making it a legitimate mobile face-to-face conversation experience.

A number of apps have also replicated the service provided by BBM. PingChat is a free messenger system which works across iPhone, Blackberry and Android platforms; it gives users the chance to chat for free and send photos and videos across huge distances. WhatsApp works in a similar way and is also available on the iPhone and other smartphones.

These applications have significantly eroded one of Blackberry’s best selling points – iPhone users can communicate across great gulfs without having to pay a penny. This is reinforced by the excellent email features already built into the phone. It will be interesting to see how Blackberry responds to this challenge, and to find out whether people will begin to abandon the RIM product in favour of the ever fashionable iPhone.

A little san of my good friend which adores to purchase him different new gadgets, so this little boy, coming up to window and trying to see what is going out some better, makes usually such certain movement with his fingers well-known anyone who uses iPhone. As to me, I’m still trying to find out the button “Undo” to enlarge “the picture”.

And waht about you?

Apple Inc. cuts price for an iPhone in half and rolled out new laptops for $300 less than previous models. Apple unveiled two new models of the iPhone — the 3G S — that will sport a faster processor and sought-after features like an internal compass, a video camera and an improved photo camera. A 16-gigabyte version of the 3G S will cost $199 and a 32-gigabyte model will be $299. The 8-gigabyte iPhone 3G, which came out last year, will be cut to $99 from $199.

The iPhone news highlighted a two-hour presentation by Apple executives at their annual conference for software developers.

Despite anticipation that he might make a cameo, Apple CEO Steve Jobs did not take the stage. He is due back from his medical leave at the end of this month.

The newest iPhones go on sale June 19, just as two-year contracts for the buyers of the original models are expiring and Apple’s phone faces tougher competition from the likes of Research in Motion Ltd. and Palm Inc.

Shares of Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple were down 90 cents, 0.6 percent, at $143.77 in afternoon trading.

Lowering the price of the least expensive iPhone could be risky for Apple — a bet that the new versions have enough appealing features to keep higher-priced models selling briskly. AT&T Inc., the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in the U.S., said today it’s confident its wireless profit margins will hold steady overall.

Apple might also be banking on expanding the profits it reaps from taking 30 percent of the revenue from downloadable applications on the iPhone and the iPod Touch.

In the updates to the MacBook line, Apple showed off a MacBook Pro laptop with a 13-inch screen that starts at $1,200. A 15-inch model sells for $1,700 and up — both $300 less than existing similar models. The company also lowered the price on its ultra-thin MacBook Air to $1,500 from $1,800.

iPhone is a new generation of gadget for the young generation. Revolutionary approaches of Apple with their new touch screen technology, has drawn a lot of attention and great market hype.Multimedia capabilities of iPhone are really impressive (iPod like music library, video including watching TV shows and films, 2.0 megapixel cam etc…)
But Apple corp. is closely associated with AT&T and that is something that is not functioning very well for all the end users. They have just locked your SIM card. For example in todays world many of us travel overseas. Now, your SIM card is locked and basically you can’t use your phone in the local network. If this is so , then it would be much more practical to have a practical phone which you will be able to use wherever you happen to be.
Luckily there are some solutions for this trouble. Last year a group of young hackers had successfully unlocked iPhone by using different methods. Users were delighted, but Apple didn’t fully share this enthusiasm because Apple has an exclusive contract with AT&T. That is the particular reason why you should be careful because if you make a mistake with the unlocking you can easily make yourself a variety of problems including the final one – the complete failure of your precious phone!
Internet was always full of various websites and respective sellers with different services. It ain’t easy to find a good service in that plethora of websites and choose a good instead of bad one, and quality and support aren’t something that is free.
When you search on internet for various kinds of services or goods, please be careful and evaluate the whole website. Those which have a professionally looking design, which are straight and easy to understand and which are good in keeping your privacy are the one which are the right choice. Always think about safe payment and technical support provided. Be careful and you will easily and safely unlock your iPhone

It became known that Apple comes up with a device that is appealing as iPhone, in another form factor, e.g. – clamshell. The drawings above, are Photoshop renderings, based on a device described in a recent Apple’s patent application, called “Dual sided trackpad“. It shows that Apple may indeed be working on a clamshell iPhone device. But with a twist.

iPhone 2.0 clamshell patent
The main idea with this device is to separate capacitive touch sensor array and the phone display into two separate units. Then put the touch sensor array on a translucent (transparent) panel, make this panel touch sensitive on both sides – top and bottom and connect them with a hinge.

That’s it. You’ve got you flip iPhone.

When device is closed, transparent touch sensitive panel is covering the whole display area and you’ve got your ordinary full multi-touchscreen iPhone.

When you flip iPhone open, you have a normal phone display and another side of the trackpad becomes multi-touch-active. Through it you control the phone:

If you want to dial a number, you can just draw it on a trackpad.
Or the rotational dial may appear on display, and you rotate it by sliding finger on a track pad.
In the open mode, the transparent trackpad can easily be made to display the standard T9 keypad and other symbols. That can be accomplished by making polarized number and symbol markings that can only be seen when the trackpad is open. Or they can be implemented as tiny LED’s.
When needed, you can keep both sides of the cover/trackpad touch-active at the same time. Thus having “six degrees of freedom” for control, and enabling 3D gestures on the device. Standard multi-touch gestures along “XY” axis on one side of trackpad, adding “Z” axis for the touch events on the other.
This dual sided trackpad approach can be applied to media player functionality as well. When media player mode is selected and cover is closed, it works just like iPod Touch does – media controls on the screen and you control it via touch/gestures.

Flip it open, and another side of the trackpad acts as a scroll wheel on a standard iPod and more.
