How the iPhone 5 Could Improve Upon the iPhone 4

Posted on Friday, 12 August, 2011 by

iPhone 5

Ever since the launch of the iPhone 4, Apple fans have speculated what the next version of the handset will have. Even rumours of multiple delay and processor problems haven’t dented the enthusiasm of technology addicts. Every day, more rumours emerge surrounding what features the iPhone 5 will have. If these rumours are true, here are some ways that the iPhone 5 could improve upon the iPhone 4.

iPhone 5

• Hardware
Some of the most plausible rumours to emerge surrounding the iPhone 5 state that it will be the first Apple handset to feature a dual core processor. The iPhone 4 is currently one of the most powerful handsets, featuring a 1GHz A8 processor, but the iPhone 5 could have processing power more akin to the iPad 2. There are also rumours that the iPhone 5 could have a model with 64GB of internal storage, improving upon the iPhone 4’s 16GB and 32GB models.

iPhone 5

• Camera
The iPhone 4 has one of the most widely admired smartphone cameras, capable of shooting 5-megapixel images with a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels as well as 720p video. Rumours surrounding the iPhone 5’s camera have been scant, but some have stated that it may have an 8-megapixel sensor, bringing it more in line with the current crop of smartphones being released.

iPhone 5

• Operating System
The iPhone 5 will come shipped with that latest version of Apple’s operating system, iOS5. The new operating system promises a richer iPhone experience, incorporating Twitter integration, a new notifications bar, the BBM-style iMessage, magazine subscription management and an improved version of the Safari web browser. The updated operating system will also be available on the iPhone 4, but the much improved processing power of the iPhone 5 will likely make using it a much cleaner, smoother experience.

Music Unlimited coming to Sony Xperia Play

Posted on Friday, 13 May, 2011 by

: Sony Xperia Play

Music Unlimited was launched back in December of 2010 (although its full and rather cumbersome title is in fact ‘Music Unlimited, powered by Qriocity’). It is a program that grants its users access to over six million tracks from the libraries of such prolific music labels as Warner, EMI, Universal and, naturally, Sony.

: Sony Xperia Play

The service was initially launched for Playstation 3 users, those with Bravia-branded televisions/Blu-ray players and customers with PSPs (Sony’s portable Playstation gaming system). However, it has been confirmed by Shawn Layden, executive vice president of Sony Network Entertainment, that the service will soon be available for Sony’s latest smartphone/portable gaming offering, the Sony Xperia Play.

: Sony Xperia Play

“What we’re trying to do at Sony Network Entertainment is bring all those different content domains into a more comprehensive space for the user, so you don’t have to go chasing around in three or four different directions to find that. If we can bring it all together with one wallet, one sign in, one password, and give you access to music, movies, games etc, that’s a better value proposition for the user. All of us want more simplicity in our lives,” enthused Layden.

: Sony Xperia Play

With the arrival of the sony xperia play last month, there is sure to be a surge in development of its content in order to please a growing number of users.

The handset was released at a lavish party in London, however, its release has been somewhat marred by reported problems with the handset. This has led to delays in some suppliers, such as O2, stocking the smartphone; O2 have issued a statement saying that they are wanting to make sure that the handset is clear of bugs/teething issues before passing the product on to their customers.

BlackBerry Curve 3G

Posted on Monday, 18 October, 2010 by

BUILD & DESIGN

The Curve 3G retains approximately the same dimensions as the previous Curves (8530, 8900, 8300). Compared to other current generation BlackBerrys, the Curve 3G feels remarkably light. This is due in part to the C-S2 battery that has been regularly featured in several BlackBerry models. This means that users upgrading from the 8xxx may be able to continue to use their battery as a spare.

Screen
Staying true to form in terms of being an update of the previous Curve, the screen on the new model is a step up over previous generations, but only just on par with its current generation competitors.

Its contrast and crispness will draw no complaints. However, I do have an odd complaint with the screen brightness – though having a bright screen is usually great, it doesn’t dim as much as I’d prefer. If you’re a heavy screen-as-flashlight user (but really, who isn’t?), you’ll be happy here.

Another complaint is the size and brightness of the LED message indicator, which is approximately the size of a ball point pen tip. Not a new complaint for current generation BlackBerrys.

Keyboard
The Curve 8900 was the wild child of the Curve family and boasted the rubbery keys found on other BlackBerry lines (read: 8800, Bold, Torch, Tour). The Curve 3G, on the other hand, remains steeped in family tradition and retains the chicklet style keyboard.

There is nearly no difference between the Curve 3G and previous generation keyboards.
