Samsung I9000 Galaxy S Intelligent Phone

The I9000 Galaxy S packs a display of the greatest technology that the mobile world has ever seen and a pretty big one at that. A snappy 1GHz Cortex A8 CPU, HD video recording and a sweetly slim waistline make it look like the real deal in the eyes of every real geek.

Let’s take a look at the other features that the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S puts to the table.
Samsung I9000 Galaxy S at a glance:

* General: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 900/1900/2100 MHz, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps
* Form factor: Touchscreen bar phone
* Dimensions: 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm, 118 g
* Display: 4" 16M-color Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 480 x 800 pixels
* CPU: Samsung Cortex A8 Hummingbird 1 GHz processor
* OS: Android 2.1 (Eclair)
* Memory: 8/16GB storage, microSD card slot
* Camera: 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with face detection and touch focus; 720p video recording at 30fps
* Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP, standard microUSB port, GPS receiver with A-GPS, 3.5mm audio jack, FM radio
* Misc: TouchWiz 3.0 UI, built-in accelerometer, multi-touch input, proximity sensor, Swype text input

As you can see the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S specs sheet is long enough to be considered high-end. What’s even better is that it manages to put something on top, namely the large 4” Super AMOLED display, which should become the new thing to beat if it has the performance of the Samsung S8500 Wave unit.

The TouchWiz-like Android customization still had some performance issues on the Galaxy Spica so we will have to see if those are fixed for the Galaxy S. We are also yet to check out how the new 1GHz Samsung Cortex A8 CPU compares to its Snapdragon peers in the Android environment, but we have a good feeling about it.

At any rate the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S is a fine piece of mobile technology and we are as eager as you to see if it will actually manage to top the charts or end up in the chasing pack. So let’s not waste any more time and head to the hardware part of the preview where we’ll examine the Galaxy S ergonomics.

Iphone 4 Video Calling

People have been dreaming about video calling for decades. iPhone 4 makes it a reality. With the tap of a button, you can wave hello to your kids, share a smile from across the globe, or watch your best friend laugh at your stories — iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 or to the new iPod touch over Wi-Fi. No other phone makes staying in touch this much fun.

One-tap simple.

FaceTime works right out of the box — no need to set up a special account or screen name. And using it is as easy as it gets. Let’s say you want to start a video call with your best friend. Just find her entry in your Contacts and tap the FaceTime button. Or maybe you’re already talking on a voice call with her, iPhone 4 to iPhone 4, and you want to switch to video. Just tap the FaceTime button on the screen. Either way, an invitation pops up on her screen asking if she wants to join you. When she accepts, the video call begins. It’s all perfectly seamless. And it works in both portrait and landscape modes.


Two cameras made for video calling.

iPhone 4 has two built-in cameras, one on the front above the display and one on the back next to the LED flash. The front camera has been tuned for FaceTime. It has just the right field of view and focal length to focus on your face at arm’s length. So it always presents you in the best possible light.

Share what you see with the back camera.

Imagine your sister is away at school and can’t make it to your son’s birthday. So you’re cheering her up with a FaceTime call. As the cupcakes come out, your son’s eyes light up, and you just have to share it. Tap a button, and before you can say, “Make a wish,” iPhone 4 switches to the back camera, and to the birthday boy's big moment. Another tap switches back to the front camera and to you. Simple, fast, and fun.

Skype Video for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch Now Available

Skype for iPhone just got a little better, thanks to the addition of video capabilities. 

That?s right, catching up to the competition ? we?re looking at you, Fring ? Skype users on the iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch fourth generation, or with iOS 4.0 or higher,  can make and receive free Skype video calls over a WiFi or 3G connection. (Keep in mind that additional data charges will apply to the latter.)

What this means is that colleagues can more easily discuss work details, grandparents can coo in real-time at grandbabies and ? as Skype shows off in a video on its blog, offering truly little additional incentive, in one person?s opinion ? flubby men with morning breath can dance in their skivvies for friends. 

With the new app, users can also make video calls to friends on their computers, place free audio calls to anyone also on Skype and call landlines and mobile phones around the world at discounted rates. Video calls can be received by owners of the iPod touch 3rd generation and iPad, and calls can be made between devices with the new app and desktops running Skype for Windows 4.2 or up, Skype for Mac 2.8 or up or Skype for Linux with the ASUS videophone. 

On Christmas Eve, Engadget delivered the news that the new app was arriving, after discovering, on the Skype site, a help document for the app, which was soon afterward removed. 

Though Skype has been slow to get its act together in enabling video calling on the iPhone, the capability is exploding, as the Pew Research Center recently reported  ? of some 3,000 American adults recently surveyed, nearly 20 percent have already participated in a video call from their computer or phone. (Among 18 to 29-year-old Web users, that figure climbed to 29 percent.)

At the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Skype General Manager Jonathan Christensen should have a lot more to say on how ubiquitous the technology is likely to become. Christensen is slated to participate in a panel called "Video Calling Gets Ready for Prime Time," which will pose the question, per the CES brochure, "Has the time finally come for videoconferencing to go mainstream?"

On Dec. 9, Fring celebrated its one-year anniversary of enabling mobile video calling ? which it has enabled more than 100 million minutes of in that time (not to mention 1.5 billion mobile voice calling minutes). It used the opportunity to introduce a new capability, dynamic video quality (DVQ), which adjusts video bit rate and frame rate according to a user?s device and bandwidth during the call, for optimal video quality. 

"In the year since pioneering mobile video calls, we?ve seen that user?s network conditions change dramatically during and between video calls. That?s the nature of mobile experiences in heterogeneous networks," Alex Nerst, co-founder and CTO of Fring, said in a statement. "DVQ lets users make the best use of the peer-to-peer network capacity available at any moment during a video call, regardless of if they're stepping into an elevator, commuting on a train or simply walking away from their WiFi hub."

Apple iPad Could Add USB Port: Report

Rumors surrounding Apple?s next-generation iPad continue, with the newest ones suggesting the device?yet to be officially unveiled?will feature a USB port.

?Talked with a colleague while working with some ODM [original design manufacturer] vendors connected with Apple,? Eldar Murtazin, editor-in-chief of the Mobile Review blog, wrote in a Dec. 28 Tweet reprinted on Apple Insider. ?He is a research guy. According to his sources, iPad2 will have a USB port.?

That echoes earlier reports from Economic Daily News, a Chinese economic and business publication, that Apple?s next-generation tablet will include the port. Other rumors have focused on the upcoming iPad?s supposed addition of front- and rear-facing cameras for video conferencing, a higher-resolution screen, and possibly a slimmer and lighter form factor.

Things have changed since April 2010 when Apple unleashed the first iPad into a relatively untouched consumer tablet PC market; the company faces substantial competition in 2011.

In addition to a growing family of Android-based tablets, erstwhile Apple rivals Hewlett-Packard and Research In Motion are planning devices that run proprietary operating systems. Microsoft executives have also suggested that a line of Windows-based tablets will make an appearance along with Intel?s upcoming ?Oak Trail? Atom processor.

According to one analyst, however, Apple continues to hold some decided advantages in the tablet space.

?Many of the brands looking to compete in the slate market are strictly hardware companies,? Richard Shim, an analyst at DisplaySearch, wrote in a Dec. 28 report. ?They do not usually manage, promote, qualify and support developers. Those competencies take time to properly mature, but would-be iPad rivals have to learn fast or risk Apple running further away with the market. We should not forget that Apple is leveraging the success it built up with iPhone developers for the iPad.?

However, another analyst believes the iPad could potentially prove a sleek and magical Frankenstein?s monster for its creator.

?The iPad has successfully integrated the functionality of a slimmed-down notebook into a media player form factor and has effectively rendered a significant portion of the Mac (and potentially the iPhone) product family obsolete,? Brian Marshall, an analyst with Gleacher & Company, wrote in a Dec. 29 research note. ?This presents a serious problem as iPhones and Macs generated 65 percent of Apple?s total revenue in CY09.?

Nonetheless, sales of the iPad apparently remained robust through the holiday season. ?Computer hardware ranks as the top-growing category for the holiday season ? with a 25 percent increase versus last year,? reads a Dec. 19 note from research firm comScore. ?Purchases of handheld devices (such as Apple iPads and e-readers) and laptop computers drove much of that growth.?

Apple Verizon iPhone Coming After CES: Report

Apple will host an event for the Verizon iPhone "very soon," according to a new report by Bloomberg Businessweek, adding to the steady drum-roll that the smartphone's break from exclusive U.S. carrier AT&T is imminent.

"Apple's introduction of an iPhone for use on Verizon's network will come sometime after the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January," read the Dec. 29 report, citing "a person familiar with Apple's plans who is not authorized to discuss them publicly." The piece also suggests that Apple will unveil the device with an appropriately "splashy" product introduction.

The Bloomberg report adds to the chorus of media and analysts predicting a Verizon iPhone sometime in early 2011. An October report in The Wall Street Journal, quoting people "briefed by Apple," suggested that the company had slated a late-2010 production start for iPhones capable of running on Verizon's CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) network. Before that, sources told the blog TechCrunch in August that Apple had ordered millions of Qualcomm CDMA chipsets for the upcoming smartphone.

Both Fortune and The New York Times have also cited unnamed sources in support of the Verizon-iPhone-by-early-2011 story line. Meanwhile, prominent analysts such as Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster have begun incorporating the device on its new carrier into their predictive models for next year. Over the summer, Barclays Capital analyst James Ratcliffe suggested that a Verizon iPhone would compel between 500,000 and 1 million AT&T customers to switch networks.

Apple's current smartphone model, the iPhone 4, sold 1.7 million units within the first few days of its launch in June, and maintained a heightened sales profile despite some controversy over its exterior antenna rim's ability to hold a signal when held by bare skin. Thanks to mobile devices such as the iPhone and iPad, the company's fourth quarter was marked by strong revenues of $20.34 billion and a net quarterly profit of $4.31 billion.

In addition to the possibility of a Verizon iPhone, media and analysts have focused on rumors of Apple preparing a second-generation iPad for unveiling in early 2011. Those rumors have focused on the device's supposed addition of front- and rear-facing cameras for videoconferencing, a higher-resolution screen, and possibly a slimmer and lighter form factor.

Both the iPhone and iPad find themselves locked in competition with a growing number of Android-based devices, including the Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet and the Motorola Droid X smartphone. Added carriers and newer hardware, of course, will allow Apple to maintain its sales momentum in the face of these challenges.

HTC Thunderbolt 4G Smartphone ( intelligent iphone ) for Verizon Wireless Arriving at 2011 CES?

On Dec. 28, tech blog Droid Life leaked a dozen images of an Android-running HTC smartphone, said to be the Thunderbolt, and one of the half-dozen 4G-enabled devices that Seidenberg, who is scheduled to deliver an 8:30 a.m. (PST) keynote address, is expected to introduce.

Looking a lot like Sprint's HTC Evo 4G, the Thunderbolt appears to feature a 4.3-inch touch screen, front and rear-facing cameras, and Google and Verizon branding.

HTC, for its part, is hinting big-time at another 4G phone. Earlier this month, the company?s Website began bragging that it was set to be the first to 4G, again, showing of an image of a squarish smartphone under a black drape. Clearing up any uncertainty about when the veil would lift, a button beneath the image pointing visitors to a page where they could sign up for an alert when the news goes live is labeled, "Find out January 6."

The Thunderbolt, or some HTC smartphone, at any rate, is expected to be joined on stage by a Motorola 4G device. Prior to Christmas, Verizon COO John Stratton told the Wall Street Journal that Motorola will be right there when it comes time for Verizon to introduce its new phones.

The new phones will enable consumers to take advantage of Verizon?s new 4G network, based on LTE (long-term evolution) technology. The third of the fourth major U.S. carriers to launch a 4G network, Verizon flipped the switch on Dec. 5, offering coverage to 38 cities and 60 airports. At the time of its LTE launch, it introduced two USB modems the LG Electronics VL600 and the Pantech UML290 leaving the introduction of smartphones for another day.

Finally, also known about Verizon's Jan. 6 announcement is that lots of Android will be involved. In a Dec. 20 Tweet from the carriers official site, it teased: "Jan 6 at #CES: #Android and #LTE - could it be like peanut butter and chocolate? YUM!"

No doubt, Verizon and Google will be hoping for such a winning combination. Though what the audience may also be hoping for during Seidenberg?s address is the announcement that the nation?s largest carrier will soon be offering an Apple iPhone. Though a number of media outlets, from The New York Times to the Wall Street Journal and Fortune, have all confirmed that such a device is coming, Verizon and Apple have remained consistent in their position and remained entirely tight-lipped on the matter.

Offering what little counts for newsmaking on the topic, Seidenberg told the media at an April 6 press conference, giving hope to Verizon subscribers and everyone frustrated by AT&Ts service, "It?s [Apple?s] call. ... Eventually it?s our view well get to carrying Apple."

iPhone 4 ( intelligent iphone ) can be withdrawn from the market

Posted on July 15, 2010

It is possible Apple to recall iPhone 4 smartphones that are already sold. Similar information appeared on the Internet after the publication of Consumer Reports, which revealed problems with the adoption of a signal from the device if it behaves in a certain way in the hand.

Following the announcement, shares of Apple fell 4.2 percent on Tuesday but later recovered some of its value, officials said. According to experts in crisis communications site Cultofmac.com, download the iPhone 4 of the market is inevitable. This might take about Apple’s $ 1.5 billion

So far sold 6 million of the new smartphone, according to Bernstein Research. The cost of withdrawal of one unit amounted to $ 250, ie the entire campaign will cost $ 1.5 billion

Piper Jaffray analyst, however, believe that the withdrawal of the iPhone 4 is unlikely. Apple may offer free case of their clients who will come considerably cheaper for the company.

Moreover, the problem concerns only a quarter of consumers, as the remaining 75% use case that has helped to solve the problem. And Apple can not take anything, but simply to survive the unpleasant situation, says Piper Jaffray.

According to Rodman & Renshaw, however, the company from Cupertino is as soon as possible to propose a solution, otherwise its reputation of quality manufacturer will suffer seriously. In a statement Apple announced that the problem is not in the iPhone 4 antenna but in the device software. The company promised to update it soon.
