Features of iPhone 5

As the time is passing and the days of official launching of iPhone 5 are coming near, the discussion about it is increasing dramatically. By the way, when iPhone 4 was launched, there were some features which people expected from it but they didn’t get them in it. So there are also some features which users are expecting from this version of iPhone. So here’s the list of 5 most expected features of iPhone 5-

1. Multi Touch Gestures
iOS 4.3 GM came with a feature named multi touch gestures. The feature enabled users in using only 4-5 fingers to perform several tasks (i.e. a 5 finger pinch would take you to the home screen). So it is the first most expected feature from iPhone 5.
2. Lack of Home Button
Users think that there is no need of a hardware home button when one can switch between the apps with just a 4 finger pinch! But it is a major hardware change; so I don’t think that Apple will do it.
3. 1GHz Dual Core CPU
We know that iPad 2 already features an A5 chip, so we can expect it from our iPhone 5 also. An A5 chip is a chip with 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 ( may be A9 also). According to Jobs, the A5 chip is 2 times faster CPU and 9 times faster GPU.
4. 512 MB Ram
iPad 2 has got the 512 MB Ram. So users are also expecting the same in their iPhone. But the chances of this change are very rare.
5. Availability of iPhone 5 from the First day of its launch
Either it is a case of iPad or of iPhone, users always want the availability of the white device from the first day of its launch. So it is also a most demanded feature of iPhone 5.
So these were the top 5 most wanted features of iPhone 5. Now lets see if Apple completes the expectations of its users in this version of iPhone.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Review

Apple iPhone 5 vs. Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus

The heat is building between Apple and Samsung as issues over patent infringement filed lawsuits and accusations have sparked media attention between the two tech giants' escalating rivalry.  Official injunctions were filed by Apple to try and block four of Samsung's mobile devices from hitting the U.S. market.  The four Samsung devices listed were Galaxy S 4G smartphone, Infuse 4G smartphone, Droid Charge smartphone, and the Galaxy Tab 10.1.  Apple's devices included iPhones and iPads.

Outside of the courtroom, another clash is brewing as the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S2 approach their rumored launch dates.   
The iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S2 models have been key devices in the patent filing cases.  Accusations from Apple included Samsung's "slavishly copying" iPhone and iPad designs.  The two companies have attempted to demand seeing each other's prototypes for upcoming mobile products, but those requests have not yet fallen through.  Samsung filed suit to see Apple's iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 3 designs after Apple's initial request. 
To add fuel to the fire, Apple has cut off contracts with Samsung, the current providers of A4 and A5 processors for the iPad 2 and upcoming iPhone 5.  The Korean company will not be the supplier for future iPhone or iPad A6 processors.  Rather the production of the new ARM A6 SoC will be awarded to a company in Taiwan according to China Commercial Times.
Samsung looks to strike back with its upgraded Galaxy S2.  Rumors have emerged that another upgraded version to be released after Galaxy S2, possibly named S2 Plus, will give the iPhone 5 a run for its money.  Major features in the Galaxy S2 include its largest attraction the Super AMOLED 4.3 inch touchscreen display with 480 x 800 resolution.  Early rumors have mentioned iPad 3 utilizing the same AMOLED technology for the tablet screen, but with the two companies' relationships on the rocks, the possibility is slim. 
The Galaxy S2 also sports a dual core chipset and integrated NFC technology.  An 8 megapixel camera with touch focus and LED flash accompanies its 1080 at 30fps video hardware.  The Galaxy S2 wireless internet connection holds firm with its Wifi 802.11 b/g/n DLNA support and Wifi Direct features. 
Overseas sales have been strong for Samsung's Galaxy S2 and high expectations are placed on the U.S. release.  The Galaxy S2 Plus version is rumored to be released soon after the S2 launch in order to contend with the iPhone 5.  The S2 Plus is expected to have a beefed up 1.4 GHz dual core processor that runs on the latest Android OS Ice Cream Sandwich.   

Apple will seek to regain its smartphone title after Google pulled it out from under them thanks to an abundant supply of Android devices supplied to nearly all carriers.  If rumors are true, Apple can strike back with two model releases in the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5.  The iPhone 4S will be considered an upgraded version of iPhone 4 and shortly after that the iPhone 5 will make its grand entrance.  If timelines matchup accordingly, we can see the iPhone 4S vs. Galaxy S2, then a follow-up battle between iPhone 5 vs. Galaxy S2 Plus. 
The iPhone 5 rumored specs list is a long one that includes: A dual processors possibly ranging from 1.2-1.5 GHz, teardrop design which tapers from top to a skinny bottom, aluminum metal body backing, 8 megapixel camera with dual LED, 4 inch curved glass touchscreen display which is edge-to-edge, SIM-less design, 4G and LTE compatibility, iOS 5, iCloud enabled, NFC technology, and antennas for GSM and CDMA networks. 
Both smartphones carry impressive hardware, but an important factor of the battle lies in the success of the company's mobile OS.  Apple iOS 5 and Android's Ice Cream Sandwich have impressed users as each one presented at their respective conferences earlier this year. 
Apple's iOS 5 has gotten a head start by already making it available to developers at its WWDC last month.  At the conference, the iOS 5 announced enhanced features found in their notifications, camera speed, imessaging, email, and browser.  Android pointed at some of Apple's iOS 5 enhancements as clear copying such as the notifications function with a swipe toolbar. 
Android's Ice Cream Sandwich hopes to pack in features that will stand up to the iOS 5.  One feature finds users being able to play games together using NFC technology.  The OS also enables USB compatible devices that work with Android apps.  One of the possibilities involves playing Android games on a mobile device through an Xbox or PlayStation game controller.

Latest Technology, The Apple iPad

The Apple iPad

 

Tablet computers have been around for quite a while. They are a very specific niche market. The Apple iPad did not exactly break ground with the concept. However, they did break ground by having a massive array of applications readymade to utilize a tablet computer. As well as this, it was also able to handle 3G connections for roaming Internet virtually anywhere you can get a 3G signal (in later models). While it may be cheaper for someone to just buy a notebook – and give you some greater functionality – it may not be as user friendly or accessible for some people.

 

The Apple iPad has a very specific niche market. You are not required to be technologically savvy in order to use it. In fact, if you have an Apple iPhone or use a similar touch screen enabled phone then the learning curve in learning to use the Apple iPhone will be non-existent. The Apple iPad is a device that is better suited to people who need or want to use mobile computing as well as have the opportunity to use the Internet anywhere without hassle. A good example of how the Apple iPad can be a great mobile computing device is for people who have limited space to carry a notebook while traveling and still want to be connected to their email, various entertainment options and a machine in which they can use to work.
I am in the habit of using having a notebook sitting on my coffee table as I am watching television. If I ever want more information (or want to keep an eye on my email, shares or just fill the advertisement breaks with something fun or interesting) on something I can see,
