Review of The Apple Ipad, 16Gb

Initially I had wanted an Amazon Kindle, not any old Kindle, I wanted the gusto in gadgets, I wanted the newest model, the largest model, and I wanted it to be in color. Sadly my search led me to blog after blog statingthis desire of mine would not be ready till 2012, and that was just a guess.

I decided to check out the Nook, and from what I discovered VIA user reviews, the Nook was too new, and too lacking for me to even bother with.

That was when I got around to thinking about an Apple iPad. I didn't need the latest and greatest, so I decided on the simple intro model, the $499 model containing 16GB of storage, and wifi. Just what I would need to download the Kindle APP and get busily reading on my new iPad. I had no idea just how addicting this device would be, and how much more I could do with it besides just catch up on a few books here and there. In fact I love the Apple iPad so much, that I imagine I will become one of those annoying Apple fan-boys that has to have all of the newest releases from Apple.

Why?

Well my friends, the best answer is simplicity.

I have never owned anything from Apple before. In fact I still prefer my PC for major workloads, but seriously when I am flopped in bed, and too lazy to hunker down in front of the PC I am grateful to have the iPad. For starters the device is small, and lightweight. Some have complained about the weight, but not once have I become affected by it, and this is coming from someone who has been toting the thing around religiously for days now.

Before getting into the simplicity of the Apple iPad, let me first drag you through the start up process, which is probably the one and only annoyance I have encountered with the iPad.

Now if you are new to Apple products, likely you are like me and you have never bothered with iTunes before. If that is the case, you will need to follow the simple directions included with your iPad to get the thing to work. I know I got miffed by this, because in order to get your iPad up and running, you are forced to plug in the included USB plug to your PC to download iTunes on to your iPad. Annoying I know, but it is necessary. Fear not though, the included card tells you the exact website you must visit in order to download iTunes on to your MAC or PC.

Once it is downloaded you plug in your iPad and wait for the device to sync. Once that is done, your iPad will be up and running, just waiting for you to take advantage of what it has to offer.

This is where the simplicity of t all takes place. It is so easy your mom could figure it out.

First you will need to slide your finger across the screen to unlock your iPad. This step is unnecessary, but fun to do. It makes you feel all secret agent and what not.

On the main screen you have a bunch of square icons that you simply tap in order to explore what they have to offer. You have a calender where you can set dates for, where the iPad will remind you in advance of such important dates.

Then you have notes, which like any cell phone allows you to post little important things to yourself according to date.

The App Store is directly on the main page, and this is where you unlock the golden empire for your iPad. You download music here, movies if you want, and of course a slew of applications that you can use. From games to weather apps, it is all there, a click away. Some applications are free, others cost a small amount of money, and some have monthly fees. Personally the share of free apps I have found thus far have been pretty gnarly.

iTunes is also pre loaded on the iPad, allowing you to access your music. I have no use for this as all o my music is on my PC. For those of you who use iTunes religiously though, the addition is really neat.

On the main page you will also find your Games Center where you can play any games you have downloaded from the App store. Farmville addicts like myself will appreciate the free Farmville App, and finally an ability to send in game content that only iPhone and iPad users have access to.

Maps is another free application directly built into the iPad. This app will give you directions, and is helpful for those who travel a lot. Those who purchase the 3G iPad will need to pay a monthly fee though in order to make use of the GS applications you can purchase in the App Store.

YouTube is built into the iPad as well allowing you to view movies on YouTube, or to view your own movies you already have uploaded onto YouTube.

Contacts and Videos are the final icons on the main screen. Contacts is basically your address book, and Video is where you can view any videos you have uploaded.

The rest is entirely up to you depending on what you have decided to download from the App Store, from free applications, to ones you decided to pay for. Simplicity here is phenomenal, and finding what you are looking for is as easy as a swipe of the finger.

The touch screen on the iPad is deliciously beautiful, and you are capable of adjusting the settings on the screens brightness. Everything is responsive, easy to use, and works without flaw. The things that bugs me most though is the fingerprints left behind. You can easily clean this however with a soft tissue. If that bothers you though you can purchase a screen protector, which I would recommend.

Volume on the Apple iPad is clear, and can be adjusted according to your preferences. Other external devices like docking speakers can be purchased as well, which can turn your iPad into a stereo, or an alarm clock radio. While docked on these external devices your iPad will also be charging its power, which is just another neat addition to an already awesome device.

A docking station may be necessary for some, as the wall plug that comes with the iPad is small, not giving you much room on plugging your iPad in, and setting it somewhere safely while it charges.

Overall:

I used to be against the iPad, calling it a wasteful Internet tablet, but truly this nifty device has made life easier, keeping up with my social network a breeze, and it is so fun and a heck of a lot more useful than I originally believed.

Do I recommend this device?

A big yes, 5 stars, and two thumbs up! I am an official fan of Apple now, and glad I finally gave the company a try. I am now using the iPad for tons more than just using it as an ebook reader (which by the way is phenomenal on the iPad, especially the Kindle Application which is free to download).

Review of Jensen Jips-250I Rocker Docking Station For The Ipad, Ipod + Iphone

I got an iPad this Christmas, and immediately had a list of accessory's that I wanted for it. A charge/docking station was the very first thing I wanted, possibly even needed.

I instantly became a die-hard hooked fan to my iPad, and found that leaving it on its back while charging with the tiny wall plug it came with would eventually land my iPad into some

trouble. Water spills, someone maybe leaving something on it, or some curious idiot picking it up and dropping it.

I figured a docking station would keep it nicely secured, while it was plugged in waiting for me to use it.

I searched intensely for one, and every store I looked had nothing but kickstand type frames, which would work, but at the same time they did not come with a wall plug, and they cost way too much money. For a stand alone, Best Buy was asking for around $55.00, which is just ridiculous considering it did not do anything beneficial for me, or my iPad.

I began to search for docking stations with speakers instead, and could not find anything available in stores, until finally I was about to give up and just order one online for $200.00 from iHome. Thankfully that same day, I came across the Jensen JiPS-250i Rocker Docking Station for the iPad, iPod + iPhone, sitting beautifully in a glass case in a local Target, and get this, it was on sale for just $10.00 more dollars than Best Buys non-efficient stand.

The Jensen JiPS-250i Rocker Docking Station for the iPad, iPod + iPhone was even more awesome than I imagined it would be. It allows you to place your iPad into its frame securely, while it charges your iPad. Not only that though it rotates and tilts allowing you to view your screen at any old angle you want.

The base is made of plastic, and it is where the speakers reside at the sides of it. The base though is nice and sturdy, and will hold your iPad securely leaving no worry in your mind that it will tip over, or be too top heavy for the base to handle. It works perfectly, and I no longer have to worry about it getting hurt.

The problem I have with this Rocker though is that it will not allow me to place my iPad into the appropriate slots unless I remove my iPads protective case, which I bought earlier that week. I have to remove the case, exposing the iPad, which I do not like, especially when I remove the iPad from the dock to use it on the go. I hate having to reattach it to its protective sleeve every time. Granted it is not such a huge flaw, that renders the docking station useless. Its just an aggravation that I am sure they will work on for their next release.

Start Up

The moment you put the iPad into the dock it will ask you to download a free application that comes with the Rocker. If you do not download it, the station will ask you if you want to download it every time you remove, and replace the iPad back into its slot. Its annoying, and eventually you will just download it to make the notice go away for good.

The application is cool though, and features a clock, radio, alarm, weather, and so on. I however already had separate apps for these features, so it was useless to me. Instead of removing the Rockers app though, I simply removed the other separate ones and kept this one, as it seemed more efficient, and laid out more properly.

The glitchy thing that I did not like about the app though was that it needed to be running in order for the alarm to work. Like most alarm apps though. I had no use for an alarm clock though, but for those who do... don't expect this one to wow you, and remember to keep it running.

Sound:

The sound quality on the Jensen JiPS-250i Rocker Docking Station for the iPad, iPod + iPhone is definitely not going to wow you, and I found the quality to sound hollow, as if voices were trapped within the plastic base. It does not sound horrible, but it definitely does not sound all that great, so do not expect to drop your stereo for this fellow.

Overall:

For me, I needed it just to charge my iPad, while keeping it secure and in place. For me this station was a work of art. The fact that the app came with it is neat, but not necessary. The sound quality could be improved on, but other than that I have no complaints. It gets the job done, and the power chord is long enough as to where I can actually set it on a desk, and plug it into the wall, unlike the one that came with the iPad made by Apple.The problem I have with this Rocker though is that it will not allow me to place my iPad into the appropriate slots unless I remove my iPads protective case, which I bought earlier that week.

X-Band For The Ipad Review

The X-Band comes in a variety of colors yellow, red, green, blue, black and grey. The foam in the middle which is an X shape has a neat little cut out for your Apple logo on the back of the iPad. The grippers/ holders which wrap around the corners of your iPad to secure the X-Band are made our of leather and come in black or cream.

To actually attach the X-Band it was relatively easy with each of the four grippers holding a nice tug fit around the corners of my iPad. The thin foam also keeps a low profile minimising all bulk.

So whats the X-Band intended for? Well thats simple, its reason in life is to show others what your iPads up to. By tucking your hand under the iPad you have a secure holding on the device. It is now ready for demonstrating anything on screen to people. This saves your iPad from balancing and falling out of your hand onto the floor.

The X-Band really only prevents against protection but doesnt protect against it. Don't get it into your mind that the X-Band can replace an iPad case.

Overall the X-Band is the best product weve used yet for the purpose of showing others what your iPads up to. Easy to apply, nice selection of colors and feels comfortable in the hand.

Give Your Ipad a Professional Jacket

Make your iPad dress to impress with a leather iPad case. Leather cases give your iPad a really professional look, to help you convince yourself and everyone you know, that your iPad is an essential business tool, and not just the lastest must-have toy.

These cases will also protect your iPad from unsightly scratches and dents, as well as providing you with a little extra grip while you are using it.

It allows you to read or watch a movie, without having to hold your iPad at arms-length for extended periods of time. You may want to buy a more substantial iPad stand to use at home or in the office.

If you are buying your iPad case online, check out the customer reviews before parting with your money. Go for a case that has been tried and tested by other iPad users already.

What is an iPad?

/ipad/specs/images/dimensions_20100127.jpg

Image Taken from the website of apple

In short: An iPad is a tablet computer developed by Apple Inc.

The iPad can be compared with an iPod Touch but the iPad has more options and is bigger in size. The iPad, not to be confused with the Fujitsu iPad, also has a large Multi-Touch screen which can be used for all sorts of purposes.

It will be available in two versions: one without 3G and one with 3G. They both have a 1GHz chip in it, which is of high performance and consumes little power. The Wi-Fi only version (without 3G) will be available at the end of March. The 3G version will be available at the end of April. The 3G version handles more data, is faster and it improves the phone call sound quality. But the phone runs faster out of batteries with 3G.

The iPad has no camera which may be unwelcome for some people.

With the iPad you can read books, watch movies, browse on the internet and much more. You can watch everything in portrait or landscape.

The reason why much people bought the iPhone was because of there are around 140.000 applications for it. And you can change it in anything you want. If we may believe what Gene Munster ( senior research analyst at Piper Jaffray) said. The applications that work on the iPhone will also work on the iPad.

Specifications and notifications:

Some accessories for the iPad:

Prices:

Wi-Fi only: the 16GB version costs $499, 32GB for $599, 64GB for $699.

Wi-Fi + 3G: the 16GB version costs $629, 32GB for $729, 64GB for $829.

A short review of the options by CNN:/2010/TECH/02/01/ipad.apps.apple/index.html?hpt=Sbin

What Apple has to say about the iPad:

A large, high-resolution LED-backlit, IPS display. An incredibly responsive Multi-Touch screen. And an amazingly powerful, Apple-designed chip. All in a design thats thin and light enough to take anywhere. iPad isnt just the best device of its kind. Its a whole new kind of device. Watch the iPad video LED-backlit, IPS Display

The high-resolution, 9.7 inch LED-backlit, IPS display on iPad is remarkably crisp and vivid. Which makes it perfect for web browsing, watching movies, or showing off photos. Its also been designed to work in any orientation portrait or landscape. And because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178 viewing angle. So you can hold it almost any way you want, and still get a brilliant picture, with excellent color and contrast. Multi-Touch

The Multi-Touch screen on the iPad uses the same revolutionary technology thats in an iPhone. But for iPad, the technology has been completely reengineered for the larger surface, to make it extremely precise and responsive. So when youre zooming in on a map, flicking through your photos, or deleting an email, iPad responds with incredible accuracy. And it does just what you want it to.

Great Christmas gifts under $100

TORONTO - Here's a sampling of high-tech gift ideas in the following categories: video gaming, digital photography and video, and under $100.

VIDEO GAMING

-Consoles: Future Shop predicts a recent $100 price cut to the Sony Playstation 3 will make it the most popular console among shoppers. It's priced at $299. The basic version of the Xbox 360 is $199, while for an extra $100, the Elite bundle includes a built-in hard drive for saving content and two games, "Lego Batman" and "Pure." The Nintendo Wii is $209 and is a good option for families or less serious gamers who don't need the latest and greatest technology.

-Big games: Among the hottest titles of the season are "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" for the PS3, "Assassins Creed 2" for the PS3 and Xbox 360, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and "New Super Mario Bros." for the Wii.

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO

-Slim, compact cameras: A full-fledged digital SLR camera won't fit into the budgets of most shoppers, but it's incredible what even a couple hundred dollars will buy in a digital camera today. Even the most-demanding wannabe photographers can appreciate the slim and compact cameras that can go anywhere and slip in a pocket, unlike the bulkier high-performance models. You can't really go wrong with brands like Canon, Nikon and Sony, especially when you're paying less than $200 for an eight-to-10 megapixel camera.

-Fractions of pennies per megabyte of storage: The prices of memory cards have plummeted in recent years, making the storage media a cheap yet much-appreciated gift or stocking stuffer. A two-or four-gigabyte card is plenty of storage for a casual photographer and can be had for $15 to $30. For a budding photographer who's getting serious about their hobby, look into an external hard drive so they can store and backup all their shots. For under $100 you can buy somewhere between 300 and 500 gigabytes of storage, enough space for tens of thousands of photos.

-HD in your pocket: Pocket-sized HD camcorders are growing popular and start around the $200 mark. The Flip brand of cameras are quickly becoming known for their convenient and easy shooting of high-quality digital video.

GIFTS FOR UNDER $100

-A non-Apple MP3 player: The iPod is still the indisputable king of MP3 players but there are cheaper options that do virtually the same job. Sony's 8GB E Series Walkman MP3 player handles music and video just like an iPod but sells for less than $100, compared to about $160 for an iPod Nano.

-Digital picture frames: It's getting to the point where almost everyone has a digital camera but the same can't be said for digital frames. Now that they've been on the market for a few years, digital frames come in a large range of prices and sizes. Find a higher-resolution model (look for 800 x 480, 800 x 600, or 1024x600) for someone who takes care with every shot and will want to display their photos in all their glory. Lower-resolution models can be found for $50 or less and will still impress your less tech-savvy friends and family members.

-Remote control management: Juggling two remotes is a pain, when you get to four or five it's a nightmare. It's not uncommon for the average home entertainment setups to now have at least three remotes; one for the TV, a digital set-top box and a DVD or Blu-ray player. Logitech's Harmony 510 is one of several universal remotes on the market that will consolidate all your remotes into one, while maintaining most if not all of the functionality of each clicker. The Harmony 510 can be found for just under $100.

-Apple Nike + iPod Sport Kit: If you know a runner or gym rat who has an iPhone, iPod Nano or iPod Touch check out the Apple Nike + iPod Sport Kit, which sells for $39 through Apple. The wireless device tracks how far and how fast you run and can upload the data online to track performance. Technically, you're supposed to buy a special pair of Nike+ shoes to make it work but there are workarounds. For just $10, you can buy a pouch from Runningfree.com that holds the device and attaches to the laces of any running shoes. And other users have said simple packing tape might also do the job.

Hands-On Htc Flyer, The Magic Tablet Evernote

I was wrong and after using the evaluation model for only a few hours on Friday I went to Best Buy as soon as it opened Saturday and bought my own Flyer HTC. I posted some initial thoughts on how to use it Sunday and wanted more of my thoughts out there for all of you that believe that this device and it has to offer.

James posted some quick thoughts on a Friday and I read on Twitter on the other pick up the prospectus as well. I have an extensive image gallery that includes pictures and screenshots and a video walk through and detailed written thoughts about my experience so far. The more time I spend with HTC Flyer, the more I am impressed by all that HTC managed to pack in such a wonderful feature.

In the box and hands on the first

HTC Flyer should be sturdy white box, which is responsible for the quality of the device. Inside the box is the HTC Flyer / C, USB cable, and pamphlets. Do not have a pen or something, which is a shame. However, you can buy a stylus for $ 79.99 and I ordered a leather case with stylus holder Expansys. HTC Europe contains a pen and put the flyer, but I'm not saying that both 3G and WiFi-only models or just the 3G one. I wish the pen was $ 50 or less, but, honestly, you can use HTC Flyer without one too (just check the official Jenn).

When I pulled HTC Flyer box, I could tell it was a high quality unit. The aluminum hull felt very comfortable in my hand and weighs just under a Flyer book, so it was not too heavy for me. The width is perfect for me, especially when compared to BlackBerry playbook, there's just a little too wide. The screen is superb and the curves give it a meaning well in hand.

Specifications

Two glasses, which immediately stand out to people is a single-core processor, and use instead of gingerbread honey-bee. single-core processor is the fastest I've seen and the performances are excellent. Battery life is good, so far I'm not sure if the dual core or single core has a lot of concern here.

I have not found an attractive and preferred honeycomb Galaxy Froyo card on Motorola Xoom honeycomb. I still think it is better Gingerbread because the experience is smoother and better integrated with the application supports any hurry, so they are not updated Flyer honeycomb, which I understand in the end to make the device from HTC. Gingerbread HTC Sense works well and what's more I love IU, the device is good for my needs.

Walk through the material

The front of the Flyer HTC is dominated by 7-inch screen. , While the display looks good, looks toward the images side by side with a book of games shows playbook has a better screen, with clearer images and sharper. There are no physical buttons on the front of the circular, but there are buttons Capacitive Home, Menu, and back to green with a special stylus. These buttons light up and become functional in both portrait and landscape modes, but not in the four directions.

The upper part of the hold button and headphone jack 3.5 mm. Power button is an integrated indicator that displays charging status. microUSB port is on the bottom and even if the charger / cable on the odd standard microUSB cable will work to download the flyer and paste on your computer or a charger.

The buttons on the right side of the volume of houses and two microphone openings. There is nothing left.

The stereo speakers and a 5 megapixel camera on the back of the brochure with the change of camera in the upper left corner. There are two parts to the top and bottom of white plastic, but do not try to remove the bottom piece, and you can not remove, just to break the Flyer. The top is removed by a slight pressure in the center and drag upwards. The only reason to drag this compensation is to insert a microSD card.

Get Precision Control of Your Ipad's Touch Screen With an Ipad Pen

An iPad stylus pen will enable you to use your iPad's touch screen without placing your fingertips on it. This has the benefit of keeping your iPad screen smudge-free, and is also useful for people who have long fingernails, like to wear gloves, have large fingers, or anything else that might impair their ability to control the iPad with their fingertips.

The iPad does not come equipped with an iPad stylus which has caused some uproar. There are a number available to buy online, but since it is early days for these products, finding a pen that is effective can be a bit hit and miss. Check customer feedback to get an idea of which pen is the best, and which ones are not worth their price tag. The Boxwave capacitive stylus is highly recommended by lots of iPad users. It is effective with the iPad, gives great control, and looks smart too. Cheaper ones tend not to work as well, but that doesn't meant the most expensive ones are best. Expect to pay around $20 for a good quality stylus. It may be worth buying a cheaper back-up stylus to cover you if you loose your main stylus and need to wait for a new one to be delivered.

Iphone 4G Launched in India

Eleven months after Apple's next-generation smartphone hit stores worldwide, the iPhone 4 was launched on Friday in India, the world's second biggest market for mobile phones.

Mobile phone carrier Aircel launched the iPhone 4 with a new pricing model, allowing customers to recover the upfront cost of the smartphone on select plans over 24 months, the company said in a press release. Aircel will charge Rs 34,500 for iPhones with a 16 GB capacity and Rs 40,900 for the 32 GB model, it said.

Bharti Airtel also launched the phone.

Declaring the roll-out of one of the most expected smartphones in the world by Bharti airtel here and in 34 other cities in India, Airtel CEO (West Bengal and Orissa) P D Sharma told media the iPhone 4 will create a separate space from the clutter of smartphones in the market, many of them having copied Apple features.

"iPhone 4 will stand out for its original applications and cater to the middle segment as well, with attractive pricing which will not create a pinch both in the long and short term," Sharma said on the sidelines of the launch here.

Asked about the delay of almost one year in the product arriving in India after its June launch in the US, Sharma said, "With third generation ( 3g) mobile networks only coming of age in recent times in India, there was no other option but the iPhone 4 to wait."

"The handset will be priced at Rs 34,500 with 16-GB capacity and Rs 40,900 with 32-GB capacity, which is attractive considering the long-term use. The set is powered by Apple's A4 (operating system), boasts of a retina display, FaceTime for video chat, 5-MP rear facing camera with LED flash and HD video recording," he said.

The iPhone 4 boasts a higher-quality screen and longer battery life than the previous model, he said, adding that Bharti already sells earlier models of the iPhone in India.

"With the high number of mobile users, smartphone market will grow in the country," he said.

The iPhone 4 was launched way back in June in the US, followed by other countries.

To the question if the pricing would offset the buying of the model at inflated rates over and above the $ 1500 price tag from the grey market, Sharma said that stage seems to have been over.

The iPhone 4 was launched in the city by Tollywood actress Paoli Dam, who was among the 35 celebrities in different cities of the country gifted a handset on the occasion of the launch.

"I am happy to possess one iPhone 4 from today. I have also been given a favourite number by Airtel, which I can memorise very easily. I am sure this handset will become a part of my accessory," Dam told media.

About whether she had been using Apple products earlier, the actress said, "I had been using Apple Mac."

Iphone War Craze. Verizon or At&t

I'm sure you've already heard that Verizon announced on Tuesday, 1/11/11, that they will begin selling Apple's iPhone 4 in early February. For everyone battling the Blackberry with Verizon, and the constant battery pulling, and all those other issues, there will also be a few new issues with your Verizon iPhone 4. Did we think it would be perfect?

The guts of the Verizon iPhone will not be the same one that is sold by AT&T. They may look a lot similar, maybe even identical on the outside, but the real issue is the core of the phone. Really, do you care what the antennae on the outside looks like?

Verizon's network uses different technology than AT&T. I think that's a no brainer, but Apple has had to adapt their phone to accommodate Verizon's network. That means this is a first generation Verizon iPhone. Remember back to the first generation iPhone with AT&T? They had their issues, but they've ironed them out; right? Be prepared to have some with Verizon, just sayin!

According to Daniel S. Mead, Chief Executive of Verizon Wireless, their networks use a CDMA technology (not that that matters to the average joe), which cannot transmit voice and data at the same time. Well, that certainly matters to the average joe! We can figure out that Verizon iPhone users won't be able to look up those directions or check their e-mail while on a call, like in all those iPhone commercials with AT&T (which incidentally, I happen to enjoy. I love the one where they're on the train,and . . .

The Verizon's version is said to not be working as well in all countries. What countries? No ones saying! AT&T uses GSM technology. (Again, the average joe really doesn't care about that. We just want it work!)

Other than those simple issues, they'll work pretty much the same. All those apps! All those apps! All just waiting for me to purchase them to my iPhone. The excitement is hardly containable. But when? When can I get this handheld gem? When can I start "rethinking my possibilities?"

If you're already an existing Verizon customer, you can start ordering yours on February 3, 2011, and anyone else that wants to switch over to Verizon can start ordering theirs on February 10, 2011.

Verizon will be selling the iPhone at $199 with a two-year contract for the 16 gigabyte phone. The 32-gigabyte phone will be $299. Hey, that's the same price as the AT&T iPhone! If Im already on AT&T, I may be thinking Im not switching right about now.

Verizon has not yet determined the pricing on the data plans for the iPhone, but I'll bet it won't be any less inexpensive than the AT&T package. I'll bet it will be a penny or two off the price of the AT&T phones, because they'll want you to think you have the same thing for a better price; even if it is only a penny. Isnt that how Walmart gets away with advertising they are the lowest prices?

So if you're happy with your AT&T iPhone, don't jump ship right away. The only way to use the iPhone with the fastest speed, talk & use those phenomenal apps (Oh, my! The anticipation!) and the "unsurpassed global coverage as only AT&T can deliver," is to use AT&T.

There are whispers that it's possible Verizon will offer something that AT&T doesn't provide (What? Something more to compare? You mean I may have to start weighing the pros and cons?) Verizon may be offering a Wi-Fi connection to as many as five laptops and other devices by piggybacking on the iPhone's cellular data connection. This is getting rather technical now!

Seriously! This is starting to become very exciting! Of course, this would cost an additional, unspecified monthly amount. (Okay, I'm getting a little scared with that "undetermined" figure.)

Verizon's iPhone will be on their 3G network. We've all heard the hype on the "NEW 4G NETWORK," and it wasn't even an AT&T commercial! So why isn't Verizon on board with the 4G? I think Apple is just staying loyal to AT&T. My opinion, maybe we need to also..or at least until those bugs can be figured out!

Happy apping!

Top Iphone Clones Review

One of the most popular iPhone clones is the CECT i9, which has become a preferred choice for many. The new iPhone clone supports Java, which means the downloading of third party software that can comfortably allow the availability of new functions. As a result many of the windows applications, that was missing in previous models, is now available in the i9, featuring MSN, Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel and many other applications and games.

The i9 is certainly an iPhone clone that is notable for its remarkable memory as it can hold up to 8GB. In the terms of appearance, it looks similar to newer generation phones having a sleeker, lighter and smaller size. Also it covers all the adjacent carriers and GSM networks and includes the control feature shake and tilt that was lacking in previous iPhone clone models. This allows you to change the image within a flick of the wrist, being much more intuitive than having to scroll around.

The i9 is dual sim active which implies that one does not need to switch back and forth the two to be online. As a result you can browse the web and talk at the same time, without missing anything. Also, it has all the regular features, besides web surfing, movies, music, messaging such as a built-in camera, e-book reader, FM radio and Bluetooth as added features. Speaking about money, i9 costs lesser than the original iPhone, and this makes it one of the top iPhone clones worth paying. It is priced at U$ 110.

Another iPhone clone worth considering is the Duet D-9, which provides essential communications and multimedia features, satisfying the needs of international business and jet-setting consumers. It is quad band device and pretty much identical in size to the original iPhone model, with a dedicated music player that features soft buttons. It also has a dual sim card that facilitates making calls and sending texts on the same device from two numbers. The other features include touchscreen, MP3, SMS, MMS, E-Book reader, wifi support, java support, support band 850/900/1800/1900, memory 1G NAND + 516M SDRAM, mobile analog TV, FM radio, basic organizer features, Bluetooth, a 2 mega pixel camera, messaging, speakerphone, music player and basic organizer. It is priced at U$ 199.

Maybe iPhone clone devices for many consumers are just a passing fad, but the truth is that they enjoy having tech gadgets. As a result, consumers will be pleased to have dual sim slots featuring two phone numbers, besides the bonus features such as e-book readers, FM radio with surround sound speakers, mobile TV and etc, for a much better price. After all there is not much distinction between the original and the iPhone clones, as far as main features are concerned. One thing is for sure, the availability of iPhone clones floods the market as they surpass the original model, with their lower prices. So if you are on a tight budget and in need for a device with all the features of an iphone, there is no reason why you should not buy an iPhone clone.

What the new iPhone 3G for the web will mean ?

One year after the presentation of the original iPhone is now Apple's second generation of its smartphones on the market. With all the discussion of individual features, however, the most important aspect: The new iPhone is finally mobile Internet for the mass market.

Apple corrects the biggest weaknesses of the original iPhones, but not all features are expected in the new unit there. This is, however, honestly, fairly no matter because before louder Featuritis was mostly overlooked, that Apple has a massive strategic shift has made the mass market for mobile Internet will open up. Compared to the original concept of the iPhone, three new things:

1. Apple opens its developer platform (and keep it closed while some, like Apple always makes a stop). This makes the iPhone suddenly became one of the most attractive platforms for mobile applications of all kinds are particularly interesting iPhone applications that run locally, but with the Internet act. Fairly sure be such hybrid applications as the dominant form of mobile Internet to establish, because they are more efficient and more attractive than a purely web-based applications. Now of course this idea is not fundamentally new, but as always, Apple's implementation is very simple, elegant, and therefore mass-market friendly.

2. At the same time is Apple's original high-price and makes the iPhone a very normal, subsidized by the mobile phone provider. Thus, the device is suddenly disconnected from affordable luxury to use device. The European prices are still not entirely clear, but in the U.S. market, the iPhone with its new prices now directly comparable rivals from the BlackBerry, Windows or Palm-bearing partially clear. Since many customers are no longer resist them.

3. While Apple initially, nor the business has virtually ignored, the new iPhone as a business targeted device, and thus as a direct competitor BlackBerry positioned. If Apple even amerkanische army praise on the iPhone as a working device can instigate, it has already put a lot of substance. The new MobileMe platform also offers an affordable BlackBerry-like solution for small businesses and individuals.

These three measures all have the same goal: the higher the mass market to crack. So far, the iPhone was a cult device for gadget freaks, it is now the bread and butter smartphone - and is coincidentally the most elegant and most powerful being in the platform market. Apple has deliberately refrained from using the new iPhone the feature bar even higher and continues to do so in a Massenappeal.

Why is this so important now for the Internet industry? Previously this was mainly a mobile web. Poor browser, absurd prices and data applications mediocre prevented many users for mobile browsing could inspire.

As I said iPhone users as the (literally) first hour in order to confirm the strong web browser in the iPhone alone changed the mobile browsing already massive. All the statistics say that iPhone users are much more mobile on the Web as the user move other smartphones. Now even hybrid network applications and other useful business applications are added, should use the final walk through the ceiling.

The competition is not that remained hidden, and therefore all competitors Basten hectically to new, more attractive smartphones. Apple is not about the market in Allgeingang roll, but against massive opposition from RIM, Nokia, Palm, Windows Mobile camps and even Google will soon have to fight. But competition known to the business, keeps prices low and the high degree of innovation. And that is exactly what has in recent years become somewhat sluggish smartphone industry needed.

That's why: High-quality mobile Internet access on the iPhone level in at least two years, absolutely self-evident. And this new channel to the users is a blessing for the Internet industry.

Indeed, so new applications, new business models (including - gasp - the sale of applications for cash), and not least in many areas of the cards reshuffled. Even very personal applications like social networking to reach the very personal smartphone a new dimension. In other words: The phone is data-salve to some others, but full-fledged second channel for Internet access.

All this is now available for early adopters and gadget freaks are not really new. For Twitter, google Share briefcases and we do not have all of our mobile phone? Yes, sure. But for the mass market, this is all very well be extremely new. And it is precisely this novelty effect of the mobile Web could eventually triumphant breakthrough.

A bit reminds me of the advent of the first web browser. At the time, but all the old Internet hares unimpressed, because a graphical browser so ultimately just a bit nicer user interface to something is what it has long existed. But for the mass market made exactly this relatively small gain in ease of use make the difference. The Web has quickly become a mass medium.

Therefore: Apples new iPhone strategy, a new phase in mobile telephony and also in the development of the Internet heralded. Presumably, we have now finally the "tipping point" in the growth curve of the mobile Internet is exceeded.

It is always cheaper to buy directly in stores in India in any city (Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad) rather than to buy online when you can spare time. Prices can vary from store to store and offers can change from festival days (Dussera, Diwali, Sankranti, Pongal, Ugadi, New Year, Christmal, etc.) to non-festival days. You will also be able to get a hands on experience before buying the product if that is new for you.

I have been noticing that some electronic or consumer electronic stores are selling these goods at same price as market price (other electronic stores) but place a higher MRP tag and an offer price tag showing a discount. It helps to check several stores to get a good idea of current prices in the market before deciding to buy. It applies to online shopping as well.

Iphone 4 Review: 1 - Hardware Fit & Finish

Apple's chief executive Steve Jobs called iPhone 4 the biggest leap yet for the company's smartphone franchise, and he wasn't just blowing the hot air. There's a lot to like about iPhone 4. From its slim design to its precision chassis to its fantastic display, the hardware looks and feels excellent. Unlike previous iPhones, there's no cheap plastic back cover. Unlike other smartphone alternatives, there's no array of buttons to keep track of, no rubber flaps or plastic covers to break off or wear out, and no pointer device needed to make up for a haphazard and flawed touch interface.

After the impressive design of the original iPhone, 2008's iPhone 3G introduced a cheaper looking plastic case, along with support for 3G and GPS, two of the most significant features missing on the original. iPhone 3GS brought improved speed with a faster Application Processor and more RAM, but retained that same cheap looking plastic body.

iPhone 4 smokes previous models inside and out, launching a new industrial design that isn't just nicer looking than the previous two plastic generations, but feels downright luxurious, with a mirrored glass front and back sandwiching a very thin, precision stainless steel body.

This is a fierce bit of kit

The new phone demands a sense of reverence, as if you're almost unworthy to use it. We mortals will instantly grease up both sides with our oily fingerprints, and if we're clumsy enough, we might drop or lose it unless we handle iPhone 4 as The Precious on our quest to make it through the day without nicking it up somehow. Jobs said the new device feels like an old Leica camera, and that's seems pretty spot on. It's not just nice looking, but exudes extremely sharp fit and finish unlike nearly any other consumer device I've recently come across.

Part of the reason for that is that everything else in the world is marching toward being efficiently cheap. When iPhone 3G appeared, I noted that despite its vulgar cheapness, the new design would enabling Apple to reach a wider, broader audience. This time around, Apple is wooing smartphone users upscale, but without jacking up the price.

This direction goes distinctly against the grain of consumer gear in general and smartphones specifically, which have been plunging toward cheap materials with simply styled plastic battery covers, rows of clunky buttons, and tacky light up trackballs. iPhone 4 looks like a a high end Sony design taken from the 80s and evolved along into an upscale luxury brand. Apple isn't just giving the iPhone 3GS a makeover; the new model humiliates the former, making it feel and look clunky, dumpy, and frumpy.

The only time you might prefer owning an iPhone 3GS is when you catch yourself watching in horror as your new iPhone 4 escapes your grasp and hurls toward the floor, as its new glass panel back is now just as easy to shatter as its front. If you find yourself dropping your phone a lot, do yourself a favor and get a case for it.

Is that $700 in your pocket?

The fit and finish and the appearance of every detail of the phone, from its headphone jack to its camera port, and from its volume buttons to its hold switch, is simply luxurious and precise in a way I have rarely seen in a consumer device. Of course, the iPhone 4 is also roughly $700, before your carrier's subsidy kicks in and brings the entry price to around $300. If you think about the device as a $700 bit of equipment, it will impact how you handle it, who you allow to use it, and where you choose to pull it out.

Apple's new iPhone isn't unique in its price; every other comparable smartphone costs about the same thing. But the company has really raised the bar in terms of what users should expect in build quality and design savvy. HTC's Droid Incredible and EVO 4G and Motorola's Droid X really look cheap and unsophisticated compared to iPhone 4 (as does Apple's own iPhone 3GS), yet they all still cost around $700 without that subsidy. If they wore real price tags, Verizon and Sprint probably wouldn't be able to sell very many.

In the auto market, there's a broad range of vehicle choices available to serve users, from the very expensive luxury high end to the simple, but much cheaper cars on the low end. In smartphones, there's now a wide range of quality, but there's no real difference in price.

That reality also has no precedent in the PC arena, where there has always been Apple on the high end opposed to cheap PC offerings, a large chunk of which cost much less because they delivered a lot less. The problem facing Apple's iPhone competitors is that smartphones can't get dramatically cheaper, because carrier subsidies hide a great deal of any price difference, ensuring that the entry price for consumers isn't very significant.

Were Apple, HTC and others duking it out over phones ranging from $99 to $700 at retail, Apple would have a much harder time introducing such a high end device to such ecstatic crowds of buyers. Incidentally, that issue is also why Apple can't really translate its iPhone success into the TV set top box market.

In between however, Apple has also introduced iPad as a very competitive tablet with no real rival, and the iPod touch as a similarly undisputed leader in the nearly uncontested market for sophisticated media players. The success of those products has leveraged Apple's success in smartphones, as the profitability of the iPhone has created economies of scale that have enabled Apple to sell the iPod touch for as little as $200 and iPads for $500, both far less than the real cost of iPhone 4.

And then you turn it on: Retina Display

I prepared myself for a mind-blowing screen, but all I saw was the same thing, an awful lot sharper. On the Retina Display of iPhone 4, text pops. Graphics and photos sizzle. But there's nothing that feels unexpected when you look at the screen. It seems both impressive and ordinary. Then I looked back at the iPhone 3GS screen and remembered how things were before iPhone 4.

Oh yes, the magic is there: the Retina Display is phenomenal. But like a boost in CPU speed or some more RAM, once you glance at the 960x640 pixel, 326 ppi resolution of the iPhone 4 screen your eyes establish a new baseline of normal. This looks the way the screen is now supposed to look.

The new display appears to be significantly less bright than the iPhone 3GS, but in my efforts to compare the two, it seems like the perceived brightness of the previous model is in part due to its softer, blurrier appearance. The Retina Display is razor sharp. No really; I never noticed a real problem with the iPhone's resolution before, but the new screen is simply amazing when you focus on details, especially in comparison with previous models. It is exacting and precise.

It truly does look like the output of a color laser printer, albeit using glossy paper that magically glows. Twenty years ago, I was transfixed by the sharp black text spit out of Apple's original LaserWriter. Now, I have a dynamic color screen that fits in my pocket, and that screen has an even higher resolution. This is definitely some crazy futuristic stuff, but it's now, immediately, the new normal.

As for performance, while being slightly less bright, the screen is not just dramatically sharper than previous iPhones, but also sports wider viewing angles, both side to side and up and down. It performs very similar to the IPS displays in the latest MacBook Pros, although again, the ppi of the Retina Display is approaching a pixel density three times as high (Apple's 17 inch notebook is 117 ppi vs iPhone 4 at 326 ppi).

For all the pre-launch hysteria about how Apple was exaggerating and misstating its resolution in comparison to the human retina, the new screen isn't anything approaching an inflated bit of marketing noise; it's the real deal. It will ruin your retinas for ever returning to a lower resolution screen however.

So far, apart from those that have already dropped theirs, or a small number of people who have received defective units, build issues have largely been constrained to a temporary spotting issue that seems to resolve itself. There are however other issues with iPhone 4, and they relate to its most important function: calling.

Issues related to antenna signal (both actual performance and the reported signal meter), proximity sensors (for blanking the phone's screen while you have it next to your face talking), and calling features will be outlined in part 2, focusing on the Phone and FaceTime.

Getting an iPhone Upgrade for Free (Even Under Contract)!

Adapted from my original article How to Get a Free iPhone Upgrade (Even Under Contract).

Every time a new iPhone comes out, previous iPhone owners feel cheated. They're no longer on the cutting edge. Try Googling the phrase "I just bought my iPhone" and you'll see what I mean. While the secrecy of Apple product launches has always caused this problem, it has been compounded as of late due to phone contracts. If you're the kind of person who always upgrades to the latest model, you're going to pay more for the phone because of the terms of your contract. Here's what you can do about it: Get your current phone to sell on ebay in order to fully pay for a new one. You probably thought it wouldn't sell for that much, but these steps will show you otherwise.

Brand new phones sell on eBay much better than used ones. If there's is a defect in your phone that the Apple store can't fix, they will replace it for free. If you've spent any time at the Genius Bar watching repairs, you'll notice they swap out far more iphones than they actually fix. Maybe the screen has some burn in, the battery life doesn't hold up, or the headphone jack is acting strange. If you're having any kind of problem at all, bring your phone to the Apple. They'll fix it for free or they'll give you a new one. Either way you're better off than before.

Before you try to sell on eBay, unlock that phone for other carriers! This process (known as Jailbreaking) will allow the phone to work with any GSM carrier that supports SIM cards. This is the real trick to getting a good price for your phone. It'll increase demand and boost the amount of bids tremendously. You'll even open up the possibility of international bidders. The unlocking process is simple - run the QuickPwn software on your iPhone and it'll be unlocked in minutes. It's ridiculous how easy it is.

Now that you've done the Jailbreak, it's time to get your iPhone to sell on eBay. I would recommend a 5 day auction, a good picture of your phone, and the original box if you still have it. The real selling point is that it's unlocked, so make that clear in the listing. Any GSM carrier with SIM cards will work! This will also allow international bidders to use the phone, so consider shipping internationally to make the most money. It's likely that your phone will sell to someone from your country anyways, but the international bids really boost the end price. To help that exposure, also check the option to display your auction on international eBay sites.

A lot of iPhones sell on eBay, so when you're setting up your auction it will be to your advantage to use some featured listing options. These can help your auction stand out from all the others. There's several types of featured listings, but the $10 option (to make your auction appear at the top of the search results) is probably good enough. You can add more options, but be aware that they increase the price. Use some strategy and save yourself money.

Don't list anything but the bare minimum accessories with your phone. Include the cable to connect it to your computer and maybe the headphones. If you still have the original box, throw that in as well. Make sure to include it in the photos for the auction. Any other accessories you have (a dock, the wall charger, or even the headphones) can be sold separately in their own auctions. They won't sell for much, but every little bit helps.

If you played your cards right, the auction will end at roughly the price of the latest model iPhone. Experienced users who sell on eBay have even been able to get a high enough price to upgrade to a larger size. Check the completed listings to see what worked for them. If you have difficulty trying to sell on eBay, consider an alternative site like Craigslist. There you can post your phone for a high price and wait patiently for a buyer to come along paying cash.

7 Reasons For Which The Apple Bluetooth Headset Is Not The Best Complement For The iPhone

With it's innovative touch-screen design and attractive good looks, Apple has revolutionized the world with the iPhone. One of the Apple's accessory for the iPhone is it's minimalist bluetooth headset.

Unfortunately this device doesnt live up to the companys highest standards. Apple's headset doesn't do everything other headsets can.

Pros:

Cons: The iPhone bluetooth headset lacks a few basic features:

There are no practical ergonomics implemented into this device, although Apple is the master of design and good looks. It's strictly a one-size-fits-all ear bud arrangement. The earpiece is too big and after awhile of use, it begins to hurt the ear. The ear covers help a little but that makes it larger. The battery can't hold a charge, it literally needs to be recharged every few hours, that makes it pretty worthless for people who depend on it.

Rather than any major performance advantage, Apples bluetooth headset appeal is almost entirely in its shape, size and simplicity.

Fortunately, other brands that offers bluetooth headsets have better options among which one can choose the best iPhone bluetooth headset.

Review of The Apple Ipod Touch 4Th Generation

The Apple iPod Touch 4th Generation is the newest of these top of the line MP3 players. Each version has brought out new functions to expand and enhance on this multifunctional device. So what does the 4th generation iPod Touch have to offer customers?

Features Of The Apple iPod Touch 4th Generation

Here are some of the main features of Apple's latest iPod Touch:

* 110 x 59 x 7.2mm,

* Weighs 101g,

* Front facing and rear facing camera,

* PowerVR SGX 535 graphics,

* Wi-Fi, USB 2.0 and Bluetooth connectivity,

* Comes in 8GB, 32GB or 64GB versions,

* 960 x 640px, LED backlit display,

* 40 hours audio battery life,

* 7 hours video battery life,

* Ability to run multiple apps at the same time,

* Opportunity to buy a huge range of apps (and games) for various features.

iPod Touch 3rd Generation Vs. 4th Generation

If you are considering to upgrade, it's important to realize what's changed and what remained when it comes to the iPod Touch.

First, the screen was given an upgrade and boasts the same detail like the iPhone 4. It now has a brand new Retina Display, and the resolution has upgraded from 320 x 480 to 960 x 640px. This is an important upgrade to individuals who love to watch videos or play games using the iPod Touch.

Unlike the 3rd generation, the new iPod Touch now features a rear facing and front facing camera. The former is to use the FaceTime app for video calls when connected over Wi-Fi, the latter is for pictures and video. For a decerning photographer, the camera could use some improvements in quality.

Pros

Truth be told, there aren't really any MP3 players that can compare to the iPod Touch. It's simply more than an MP3 player (with a price tag to match). You are able to play games on it, download business apps, productivity apps, have video calls, listen to music, surf the web and much more! Apple definitely has the edge when it concerns the huge range of apps readily available to purchase and download for free from the app store.

Cons

As noted above, the camera isn't of good quality (under 1 megapixel) so do not look forward to get astonishing shots. Useful though when you don't have a camera with you, and it's good at recording videos.

Apart from this, if you are a PC user then you might not be happy that you have to course the iPod Touch via iTunes to transfer music and other files - which a lot of people report as clunky. ITunes works way better if you run it on the Mac.

Is The iPhone 4 A Must Buy?

The iPod Touch is always being compared head to head with the iPhone, as they have the same interface and typically similar features. However, the big difference must be whether you already require a new phone or not. If you do, and you likewise need the features of an iPod, then it's well worth purchasing the iPhone 4 instead.

Again, one major drawback is the price! The iPhone 4 will set you back perhaps hundreds of dollars greater than the iPod Touch, which makes the latter an excellent choice for anybody who's already got a phone or simply wants a cheaper one to save money.

Apple Ipod Touch 1St And 2Nd Gen

Considered the little cousin of the revolutionary iPhone, the iPod touch shares many features with the iPhone. The revamped user interface is unlike anything you have ever seen. The large 3.5 inch multi-touch screen is very responsive and wonderful to use.

The fifteen apps preloaded on the iPod touch are very useful and fully thought out. Mobile Safari gives you the internet in your hands. YouTube lets you watch YouTube videos on a large, bright 3.5" screen. Weather, Google Maps, and Stocks are all useful applications that anyone could use everyday.

The notes, clock, calculator, and calendar apps bring out the PDA functionality of the iPod touch. The iTunes Music Store app lets you buy music right from your iPod touch over Wi-fi so you can listen to your music as soon as its done downloading. The mail app lets you set up your email accounts from services like Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL, Microsoft Exchange, and Apple's own Mobile Me.

The Photos apps serves its purpose of storing and displaying photos on the beautiful 3.5 touch screen. Since the iPod touch does not have a camera like the iPhone, the only way to add pictures to the device is by syncing with iPhotos through iTunes. The process is as simple and seamless as syncing music.

The three standard iPod apps, music, video, and photo, do exactly what they have done in the past except better. You can now scroll through your music in Cover flow, displaying album artwork. Videos can now be taken with you anywhere and can be watched on a beautiful 480X320 resolution supported screen.

The newly added Appstore allows you to download both free and paid third party apps. This includes apps like games to apps such as Facebook, Fring, and much more. The 2nd generation iPod touch now has microphone support with Apple even selling their own microphone featured earphones.

The whole iPod has been updated to look more like the iPhone 3G. The external speaker is great for games and other apps, which you can download for free or purchase on the Appstore. The internals have also been updated, and now the device has similar specs as its older brother. The updated internals allows you to take advantage of the many apps on the Appstore.

Overall, if the first generation iPod touch was not good enough, the second one surely will be.

Apple Iphone vs Apple Ipod Touch - A Review

Back in the summer of 2007 Apple introduced its darling, the Apple iPhone. It was being seen as the most revolutionary high tech gadget of its time. However, at the same time Apples iPod Touch with virtually all the same bells and whistles as the iPhone except for the cell phone feature, was barely heard from. Let's take a look at both and compare:

Is Cheaper Better? It seems that this holiday season the cheaper, thinner iPod Touch has been the favorite among many consumers. Given this current economy and the price point of the iPod Touch at anywhere from $180 to $399 depending on memory capacity it seems to be the bigger hit than the iPhone. The iPod Touch can do just about anything the iPhone can, for that much cheaper price. Both run the multi-touch interface and both can run almost all of the programs in the Apple Apps store. That is over 100,000 Apple apps at last count.

Do You Need Cellular? The biggest difference in the iPod Touch to the iPhone is that the iPod Touch does not work over a cellular network. An iPod Touch needs to be near a Wi-Fi hotspot, a wireless network available in many places. The iPod Touch needs this Wi-Fi to be able to go online or to download Apple apps. Fortunately, Wi-Fi is becoming more available to consumers. Many have them in their homes and they can be found at offices, airports, and coffee bars. Many of these places charge either very little, a couple of bucks or give you free access to their Wi-Fi.

Data Network Burdens: With the iPhone you are committed to using AT&Ts cellular network. That commitment of at least two years can cost an iPhone user about $100 in monthly cellular charges. Recent announcements by AT&T of the extra burden the iPhone has put on their data network have also made some people hesitant to commit. Their have been reports of frequently dropped calls and spotty Internet connections in bigger cities such as New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

In Conclusion: Consumers who are wary of Apples iPhone, AT&T commitment have found ways around their cellular need. Many are sticking with their old cellular phone and buying the less expensive iPod Touch for downloading and going online. Others are waiting as many of the iPhone features such as multi-touch interfacing and expanding apps to be available on future smart phones.
