iPhone 5 vs. iPod touch 5 camera test

iMore has made a parallel between the camera capabilities of the two devices. The iPhone 5 comes with an 8-megapixel camera and the iPod touch 5 features a 5-megapixel camera. The site writes that the full-resolution dimensions of the photos made with the iPod touch 5 are smaller than those of the iPhone 5. As for print sizes, for printing at 200 ppi, photos made with the iPod touch can print up to 9″x12,” while photos from the iPhone 5 can print up to 12″x16″. If you print at 300 ppi, iPod touch photos can print up to 6″x8″ images and iPhone 5 photos print up to 8″x10″. In terms of general photography, the site notes that the iPhone 5 photos “are more vibrant, have more contrast, and are a little warmer,” while the iPod touch 5 photos seem “a little flat” when compared to those made with the iPhone 5.

iPod touch 5 vs. iPhone 5 The two cameras’ macro photography capabilities appear to be similar, especially regarding their ability to focus. A parallel between photos taken in low-light reveals that the iPhone 5 is better than the iPod touch 5.

iPod touch 5 vs. iPhone 5 Both devices feature the same front-facing 1.2-megapixel FaceTime HD camera, but the comparison showed that the iPod touch 5 photos have a warmer tone than the iPhone 5. Panoramic photography is also similar on the iPod touch 5 and iPhone 5 cameras, but the iPhone 5 offers more contrast and a slightly warmer tone.

New iPhone 5 & iPad Mini Release Dates & Debuts in September

New leaks suggest that September will be a big month for Apple new releases and announcements. TechCrunch reported that Verizon has informed employees that they will not be able to take vacation on Friday, September 21 until Friday, September 30. This information is interpreted to mean that the dates are for the sale of the new iPhone 5. It is also rumored that Apple will make its latest iPhone announcement on September 12 with a “trusted” source stating the release date will be Friday September 21. Apple and Verizon have waited until Friday for its iPhone launches. AT&T employees are not taking vacations during the last two weeks of September until the middle of October. MacRumors reported that Apple is informing its reseller partners to “set aside additional table space for iPad displays over the next few weeks by September 12, when Apple will reported unveil the iPad Mini. New leaks showed a Franken-iPhone pieced together with parts to create a mock iPhone 5 by iResQ which some call a Franken-iPhone. There is photo of the headphone jack/docking port assembly screwed into the back casing of the next iPhone: The new iPhone pieces have a smaller charging plug and earphone jack on the bottom. The company is already stocking repair parts for the unannounced devices. The dock connector and headphone assemblies for the iPad Mini and new iPhone are very similar suggesting the iPad Mini could be more like an iPhone Maxi than an iPad. The most prominent new feature believed is a 4″ touchscreen. The iPhone is so popular that Yahoo’s new CEO Marisss Mayer wants to give every Yahoo employee an iPhone for consistency. 。 wholesale accessories,iphone accessories,ipod accessories,ipad accessories

Apple: Samsung Copied iPhone, iPad

Apple asserted in its opening statement of its infringement case against Samsung that the Korean firm analyzed and systematically copied one feature after another of its iPhone and iPad devices, then brought look-alike products to market. Apple designer Christopher Stringer, the trial's first witness, was asked by lead Apple attorney what he thought as he witnessed competitors bringing phones similar to the iPhone's design to market. "We'd been ripped off. It was plain to see, particularly by Samsung. We were offended," he said. It was the punchline that Apple had been building toward on a day of opening statements, following Monday's jury selection of seven men and three women in U.S. District Court in San Jose on the opening day of the trial. The courtroom with limited seating was packed with attorneys, journalists, and observers, as was an overflow courtroom where sound and video were piped in. Samsung lead attorney Charles Verhoeven was soon able to issue a rejoinder to the charges in his own 90-minute opening statement. But before he could launch into it, he felt constrained to remind the jury that they needed "to keep an open mind," that there was "more to the story than what you've just heard." Unlike Verhoeven's presentations, which frequently stopped and started again as he searched for the proper exhibit, Apple's narrative flowed from start to finish with a rising indignation. It moved toward what seemed an inevitable conclusion. Verhoeven seemed to understand its potential impact on a lay jury. Apple's lead attorney, Harold McElhinny, started out, for example, by showing a simple graphic of six Samsung phones in a wide variety of form factors prior to the launch of the iPhone at Macworld in January 2007. Next to it, he showed Samsung phones being produced by 2010. They all have the rectangular proportions and rounded corners of the iPhone form factor. McElhinny produced what he called a Samsung design document that compared iPhones, feature by feature, with Samsung's Galaxy model and noted whenever the iPhone's features were different. And the apparent design response in each instance was to "make something like the iPhone." "To be blunt, Samsung has not been honest about this copying," he said. Toward the end of his 90 minutes, McElhinny poured special effort into depicting Samsung as, not only an unscrupulous competitor, but so unethical that it failed to live up to its obligation to disclose pending patents to other members of an international standards body, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), as it was required to do. Samsung was ready, when the time came, to launch its counterattack. Nevertheless, one well dressed, young Samsung executive providing support to the legal staff was undergoing culture shock in the overflow room as he experienced the American legal system firsthand. Samsung for two decades has been a key supplier to Apple. He walked about the room, saying: "We are close business partners. Why are we slinging mud at each other?" Samsung's Verhoeven, when his turn came, disputed the last assertion first. Samsung has made important contributions to wireless standards and under ETSI rules, confidential, proprietary information did not have to be disclosed during its application for a Korean patent. "Any suggestion otherwise is without merit," he said. Apple had engaged in selective evidence presentation, he claimed. Yes, Samsung makes phones in a similar slim, rectangular proportion as the iPhone but it has always made a variety of phones and still does. Apple hadn't shown the six models that do not look like the iPhones that Samsung produces, said Verhoeven. In addition, Samsung had designed a phone with rounded corners and a rectangular shape before the iPhone was launched. Apple holds 200 patents on the design elements of the iPhone, including the specifics of its user interface. It has patented the "bounce back" feature of a document being viewed on an iPhone. When the user reaches the edge of the document, instead of allowing the cursor to continue off into white space, or "getting lost in the desert," as Apple designers term it, it bounces back to the center of the document or top of a list. Apple patented the finger-guided scrolling on the iPhone screen, and McElhinny made much of the uniqueness of two-finger gesture controls on the iPhone screen, such as the flicking of the thumb and forefinger to prompt an application to zoom in on an object. But Samsung may have scored points with the jury by disputing Apple's claim to having invented a unique product by illustrating prior uses of finger-controlled scrolling and multiple-finger gestures. Verhoeven showed a photographer manipulating images on a light box by moving them around and prompting them to enlarge through finger gestures, contesting the claim Apple had solely invented the idea. He cited three prior patents issued in Japan and the U.S. that captured definitions of multiple finger gestures accomplishing image movements similar to those executed on the iPhone. The Nomura patent was issued in Japan in 1998. A U.S. patent captured the ability to zoom in and out on fractal images through a technique labeled "Diamond Touch." Another finger gesture patent that had been demonstrated by Jefferson Han at the TED conference in Monterey, Calif., in 2006 was issued that year. These constitute prior art that the U.S. Patent Office examiner failed to consider in granting Apple a patent on the finger controls of the iPhone user interface, Verhoeven asserted. "When a patent is granted, it doesn't mean the examiner knows everything. Apple claims it invented finger scrolling and use of the two-finger touch gesture, but there were other inventors," he said. 。 wholesale accessories,iphone accessories,ipod accessories,ipad accessories

iPad 3 vs Google Nexus 7

Apple iPad 3 or Google Nexus 7? It's a difficult question to answer because these tablets aren't quite like-for-like rivals. And yet they're still competing for similar audiences. After all, how many people do you know who own multiple tablets? One's portable and affordable, the other is - well - an iPad. But is that Apple tablet experience, seen by many as the tablet experience, really worth an extra ￡200? We've decided to deconstruct exactly what the extra outlay gets you. Design Nexus 7 - soft touch "leather effect" plastic rear iPad - aluminium rear Talked about in the simplest terms, it sounds like the iPad is the clear victor in terms of design. How can plastic hope to compete with anodised aluminium?

iPad - cool, hard metal Weirdly enough, the Google Nexus 7 makes a good account of itself, while costing half the price. We don't know quite how its maker Asus managed it, but the finish of the Nexus feels more like leather than ropey old plastic. It has a pleasing tactile quality that's just as enjoyable as the cool touch of metal. The Nexus 7's back uses a pattern of tiny little dimples rather than a completely smooth surface, and comes in white and black-brown finishes. However, the white version doesn't seem to be readily available in the UK as yet.

Google Nexus 7 - tactile leather-effect plastic Having been around for longer, both the white and black editions of the iPad are readily available. The two tablets' approach to colour is quite different, though. The Google Nexus 7 offers different-coloured backs, and the iPad different-coloured screen bezels.

White or black - no 50 shades of grey here Portability Nexus 7 - one-handed fun, 340g iPad - slim, but less agile, 652g As slim and stylish as the iPad may be, it just can't compete with the Google Nexus 7 on portability. A 7in device feels much, much more comfortable in one hand, and thanks to the high friction leather-effect rear it doesn't feel in constant peril - every moment being one in which you might drop the thing.

iPad - two hands please... The Nexus 7 is also just over half the weight of an iPad 3. The third-generation Apple tablet gained a significant amount of weight over the second one, in order to house a larger battery.

Google Nexus 7 - one mitt does the trick If you want a tablet you can read on while standing up on the train or bus, the Nexus 7 is hands-down the winner. Have a seat? Well, that changes things. The larger iPad can rest on your knees with the right case, where the Nexus 7 is a little small for such a purpose. For a long-haul flight, we'd also rather watch a movie on an iPad than a Nexus 7. Storage Nexus 7 - 8/16GB internal memory, no memory card slot iPad - 16/32/64GB internal memory, no memory card slot Where Android devices were once the home of the free and easy "open" style - free to install dodgy apps, free to expand the internal memory, free to fiddle as you please - the walls have started closing in. The Google Nexus 7 follows an Apple-style trend in disallowing any physical form of memory expansion. There's no memory card slot in the tablet, meaning you're stuck with the 8GB of 16GB of internal memory, depending on which version you bought. Both these capacities are absolutely piddly if you want to watch movies or listen to music. Why reject those free-wheeling Android roots? It's obvious, really. Google wants you to use its online media streaming services, like Google Music and Google Movies rather than watch your own stuff. That Google Music isn't even available in the UK yet, and that the movies service is pretty basic here doesn't seem to have affected the decision. Ho hum.

Google Nexus 7 - no memory of a memory card slot Of course, it's no surprise that Apple has gone down its traditional root of not letting you expand memory in its "new iPad". However, it is compatible with the camera connection kit, which lets you plug SD cards and some other types of USB devices (mainly cameras) in order to let you view digital camera photos on the thing directly. This is sold as a separate accessory - and the official one costs around ￡20. Can the Google Nexus 7 match this functionality? Not fresh out of the box no. It has a microUSB socket - about as universal as you can get - but it's not setup for USB host functionality, which lets you plug-in external hard drives and other such USB bits and bobs. You'll need to root the tablet in order to get this host function working.

iPad 3 - microSD MIA Google seems to have deliberately bodged this feature, as the tablet will accept keyboards and mice, just not other devices. We can only assume it's another effort to get you hooked into those Google services. Thank heaven for hacks. Screen Nexus 7 - 7in, 1,280 x 800 pixel IPS iPad - 9.7in, 2,048 x 1,536 pixel IPS The Google Nexus 7 has a "nice" screen. It uses the right display tech, has a pretty high resolution and at 7in it's large enough to watch TV shows on comfortably while you're out and about. However, the iPad 3 screen is quite remarkable. It boasts more pixels than any TV you'll find down the local Dixons - including the 60in ones that cost a couple of grand. Why so many? It's Apple's continuation of the Retina Display movement it started with the iPhone 4.

iPad 3 - you can't beat this beauty (yet) The aim of a Retina Display is to ensure that you can't see single pixels in normal usage. This should in theory result in less eyestrain, as well as much sharper images. The iPad 3 packs-in 265 pixels per inch. This wouldn't earn you the "Retina" title in a mobile, but in a tablet Apple thinks it more than suffices. And we tend to agree. The Google Nexus 7 brings 215dpi to the table. In any other comparison, the tablet would look like a king, but here the competition is just a little too great. One thing to bear in mind - in 2011, the 1,280 x 800 resolution used by the Nexus was the industry-wide standard used in much larger 10.1in tablets. Its screen is still dead-sharp. 。 sex gadget,sex toy,adult toy

The iPad -- it's not just for humans any more

People who work at Miami's Jungle Island zoo have figured out a hi-tech way to communicate with orangutans. Rather than using old-fashioned sign language, they're using iPads. According to the Associated Press, trainers are working specifically with 8-year-old twin orangutans helping them draw, play games, and work on new vocabulary as part of a mental stimulus program. "Our young ones pick up on it. They understand it. It's like, `Oh I get this,'" Linda Jacobs, who oversees the program, told the Associated Press. "Our two older ones, they just are not interested. I think they just figure, `I've gotten along just fine in this world without this communication-skill here and the iPad, and I don't need a computer.'" The iPad software that Jacobs is using with the apes was initially made for people with autism. Last year, there were reports that autistic children were able to use the tablet for gaming and making puzzles and also for communicating ideas to family members who were unable to understand the children's needs. The software installed on the iPads shows pictures of objects that the trainer identifies and then allows for the orangutans to touch a corresponding button. This type of technology could eventually lead to the general public being able to "talk" to the apes (who don't have voice boxes or vocal cords). Despite the advances made using iPads with orangutans, there are some limitations. Since the devices are delicate and the screens are small (for ape hands), trainers have to hold the tablets. Jacobs is hoping to get more durable and large "orangutan-proof screens" in the future so the public could correspond with the apes. "It's really just a matter of getting the technology and equipment here," Jacobs told the Associated Press. "There's not a doubt in my mind that they could do it and would be marvelous at it, and I think the public would absolutely love it." wholesale accessories,iphone accessories,ipod accessories,ipad accessories
