Samsung Galaxy S3 vs. Apple iPhone 4S: Why Experts Are Embracing the Galaxy S3 Over "Bored" iPhone 4S Read more at

In light of the high-profile Apple vs. Samsung lawsuit over each company's mobile phone offerings, here is a glimpse at two phones duking it out in the marketplace for the #1 spot amongst consumers. In one corner is the Samsung Galaxy S3 and in the other Apple's iPhone 4s. Which will come out on top? Let's explore. Apple's iPhone 4s is available in black or white. Memory options include 16GB, 32GB or 64GB, which retail for $199, $299 and $399 respectively. This world phone measures in at 4.5"x2.3"x0.37" and it weighs 4.9 ounces. It utilizes the iOS5 operating system and offers a dual-core 1GHz cortex-A9 CPU. Talk time is estimated at eight hours. The 4s comes with an 8 Megapixel camera with LED flash, touch focus, geo-tagging and face detection and also has video recording capabilities. Other features include a scratch-resistant glass back panel, the much-loved Siri with her natural language commands and dictation, iCloud cloud service, Twitter integration and Google maps. The phone comes with accessories including Apple earphones, dock connector to USB cable and USB power adapter. The Galaxy S3, available in Marble White and retails for $199.99. It is a touch-screen device that measures 5.38"x2.78"x0.34" and it weighs 4.7 ounces. It boasts a 1.5 GHz dual core processor and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich platform. It is currently available with a 16GB memory and has an HD Super AMOLED 4.8" display. Battery life for this phone is comparable to the iPhone 4s, with 8 hours of talk time. In terms of the phone's specific features, it offers Bluetooth connectivity, voice recognition and text-to-speech capabilities. The 8.0 Megapixel camera has 4x digital optical zoom, autofocus, camcorder, DivX, HD recording and playback and video share, and the phone has its own video player as well. The user interface features TouchWiz; Smart Unlock; Accelerometer; Motion Gestures; Smart Stay; S Voice (a.k.a. Samsung's Siri); S Suggest; Kies Air; Pop Up Play; Share Shot and AllShare Play. The tech community is buzzing with mostly positive reviews of the Galaxy S3. Techradar.com calls it "a phone worthy of the hype." CNET.com states outright that it is impressed with the phone and calls it a "tidy package of top-flight specs, approachable design, steady performance and compelling pricing." NPR's Linda Wertheimer recently hosted technology columnist Rich Jaroslovsky for a discussion about the Galaxy S3 vs. the iPhone 4s and in Jaroslovsky's option the Samsung phone "is an iPhone wannabe that also sets a marker for the next iPhone." The Huffington Post has declared that the Galaxy S3 gives the iPhone 4s a run for its money and reviewer Jason Gilbert tells readers: "I can, with all of my heart, endorse the Galaxy S3." Well, while the verdict for which phone wins is still up in the air, it's safe to say that consumers and tech experts alike are embracing Samsung's new mobile, seemingly having grown perhaps slightly bored and/or disillusioned with Apple's iPhone 4s. The $10,000 question is, will fans forget the Galaxy once the iPhone 5 is released in the very near future? Only time will tell. 。 sex gadget,sex toy,adult toy

iPhone 5 Vs. Galaxy S3 Rendering Showdown: Probably the Best Pre-iPhone Hype Ever

A new video based on the iLab leak, in our opinion, perhaps the most fascinating look at the sixth-generation new iPhone. This 3D rendering comparison pits the upcoming iPhone 5 against a device that it is expected to be in competition with as the world’s most beloved smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S3. In this video we see the new iPhone in a variety of angles, giving viewers a chance to fully appreciate what could be its official design. We can see bits and pieces of different iPhone 5 rumors in this video, such as the metal unibody, the smaller dock connector and the usual stuff, meaning the taller design and 4-inch screen. And of course the Galaxy S3 is in there, a device known for its rounded corners and gigantic 4.8-inch screen. You have to see this video to fully appreciate it, so we won’t spoil it for you any further. Many reports are linking the iPhone 5 to a special event organized by Apple itself, to be held on September 12. As if it wasn’t obvious enough, we’re inclined to believe the new iPhone will go the same route as the new iPad and drop the numerical designation completely. Other rumored specs include 4G LTE, NFC and iOS 6, the latter of which seems almost definite. 。 wholesale accessories,ipod accessories,iphone accessories,ipad accessories

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 vs iPhone 5: September release date almost confirmed

Apple’s iPhone 5 release date on September 21st tipped by Verizon vacation blackout. Meanwhile, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 2 reportedly arriving by mid-September. September, the month of high-end phones? The long-rumored Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is set to go on sale by mid September, according to a slew of new reports posted online. Apparently, Samsung has posted a YouTube video this week to confirm that the August 29 pre-IFA event is for the new Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Though the new video does not mention the Galaxy Note 2, it briefly shows the unannounced device’s S Pen whilst bragging about its portability and weight. If rumors are to be believed, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will sport a larger 5.5-inch display with “Retina-like” pixel density. It will also include a quad-core Exynos 4 processor and a dual-core processor for the United States smartphone market. Similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will also include an 8-megapixel back-facing camera and a front-facing 1.9-megapixel “HD” camera. A new design and a “better build quality” are also widely expected. The 38-second video was uploaded by Samsung Mobile mainly to compete with Apple in the “rumors” department as more reports confirm that Apple’s iPhone 5 will arrive on September 21 and Apple will reportedly announce the device by mid-September. It is plausible that Samsung will launch the Galaxy Note 2 before the release date of the iPhone 5 to avoid the so-called “Apple rush” which includes long-lines and blockbuster pre-orders and a pile of backorders. Speaking of the iPhone 5 release date, Verizon Wireless reportedly blocked all vacation days of employees next month, ahead of the September 21 “massive” launch date. According to Apple Insider, vacation dates of Verizon Wireless employees have been blocked starting from September 21 to Sept. 30 which is possibly the first week of the iPhone 5 in the lucrative smartphone market. The iPhone 5, reportedly with Long Term Evolution, will allow Verizon Wireless to generate more revenue from customers who are willing to pay more for faster LTE network. Meanwhile, a new rumor posted by hit and miss site Digitimes, component shortages will affect the sales of the iPhone 5 for the next few months and it will likely to slide below 15 million units, down from the original 20 million iPhone 5 forecasted by the Cupertino-based company. Grain of salt. The site added that the supply shortage is “due to low yield rates in the production of in-cell touch panels as well as a connector at the bottom of the phone” citing its sources from supply chain. Apart from the new iPhone, other rumors also added that Apple’s September launch date will include a new iPad, a smaller version of the tablet computer called “iPad Mini.” Possibly larger than the Samsung Galaxy Note 2′s 5.5-inch display, the iPad Mini will not only target the possible buyers of the new Galaxy Note, but also the consumers targeted by retail giant Amazon and its Kindle Fire 2. 。 wholesale accessories,iphone accessories,ipod accessories,ipad accessories

iPhone 5 rumour roundup for the week

For the iOSphere, reading SEC documents is the modern equivalent of the ancient art of haruspicy, reading animal entrails, to learn the future of the Next iPhone. Much is revealed to the trained eye. And what’s revealed this time is that iPhone 5 will have a cool fingerprint sensor at the heart of a digital mobile wallet with NFC-enabled payments. And that’s probably just to start with. Also this week, Korean confirmation of LTE, the promise of pre-orders on the same day as The Revelation itself, learning the difference between a hoax rumour and a, you know, real rumour, and photos of the iPhone 5 battery. You read it here second. iPhone 5 will have AuthenTec’s fingerprint sensor technology And that will mean, it will also have an NFC-based “mobile wallet” capability. This all based on the interpretations being applied to the latest SEC filing by AuthenTec (you can check out our full coverage of this story). The company makes a variety of smart sensors, identity management and embedded security products, including fingerprint sensors used in PCs and laptops. On July 27 AuthenTec announced it was being acquired by Apple for US$356 million, Apple’s biggest ever. This month, AuthenTec filed required paperwork with the SEC, revealing new details of its talks with Apple. TheNextWeb’s Matt Brian read the filing and concludes that Apple is likely to incorporate into iPhone 5 (and the “iPad Mini” if there is one) the company’s recently announced 2D fingerprint sensor, and associated software, for NFC-equipped smartphones and tablets. “Will we see fingerprint technology in the new iPhone (or iPad)?” Brian asks. “It seems almost certain. AuthenTec specialises in a number of security products and software that theoretically could have made their way into Apple’s production line or code branches. Details are scarce but its desire to use the technology and see it developed quickly leads us to speculate that we could see it in just a matter of weeks.” MacDailyNews at once began the echo chamber amplification that exemplifies Apple rumouring, by adding in its headline a detail that Brian never mentioned: “Apple’s iPhone 5 to include fingerprint sensor in Home button?” Essentially, the SEC document contains AuthenTec’s account of its talks with Apple, which began in late 2011 when AuthenTec began trying to interest consumer electronics companies in a new technology still in development — a 2D fingerprint sensor and associated software specifically for NFC-equipped mobile devices. It was formally announced in May 2012. Brian interprets those details, probably accurately, as showing that Apple was determined very early on to get its hands on the mobile fingerprint technology. The company repeatedly insisted that AuthenTec continue development especially to adapt the sensor to Apple’s specific requirements. But Brian falls victim to the “what else could it be” mindset that permeates Apple rumouring. The negotiation details in the SEC filing, to Brian, are evidence of Apple’s urgency. “If AuthenTec was developing a technology for Apple’s new products, would the deal need to have been completed “quickly” if it wasn’t going to be used in devices launching later this year (or mere months after negotiations began)?” Brian asks. What else could it be? Brian clearly believes that Apple’s desire to quickly consummate the deal reveals the AuthenTec fingerprint sensor will be included in the new iPhone and other Apple products expected to be announced this spring. We are not convinced. iPhone 5 will have LTE because the Koreans are asking Apple for it The Korea Times published, in English, a story headlined “SKT, KT in talks with Apple for LTE service,” which explained fairly straightforwardly that the leading Korean mobile carriers are trying to convince Apple to support their LTE networks in the next iPhone. The Korea Times cited “officials from the companies,” but there’s little information directly associated to an official. Most of the details apparently come from “one high-ranked industry source who is familiar with the situation.” The Consensus Rumour is that Apple will have LTE radios in iPhone 5, because if it doesn’t, it will be a planetary disaster on a scale not seen since the Chicxulub asteroid collision 65 million years ago. If Apple does introduce LTE, that would mean the Koreans are trying to get support for their specific LTE networks, which would require different radios. In any case, the iOSphere quickly amplified the implications. SlashGear’s headline: “iPhone 5 LTE confirmed by Korean mobile carriers.” Chris Burn wrote: “This week it appears that the Korean mobile data carrier KT may have spilled the beans a bit early as they’ve been quoted speaking about the next-generation iPhone by the Korea Times. … This of course means Korea’s 4G LTE frequencies will be in play — and that it’s likely the USA will be connected with this data speed as well.” CNET’s Lance Whitney was more circumspect, saying only that The Korea Times story was “yet another potential sign” of LTE support in iPhone 5. “If Apple’s upcoming iPhone again fails to support LTE bandwidths, then this would be a very disappointing scenario as LTE is everywhere in Korea,” said a high-ranking SK Telecom executive, quoted in the original Korea Times story. iPhone 5 pre-orders start on the day of announcement, Sept. 12 When Apple announces iPhone 5 on Sept. 12, would-be buyers will be able to place “pre-orders” for it that same day, according to iMore’s Rene Ritchie, who cites “sources that have provided iMore with accurate iPhone related launch dates in the past.” A “pre-order” is one of those conceptually garbled catch-phrases that never fails to inspire confidence the writer knows what he’s talking about. Technically, it means that you can “reserve” a product before it officially goes on sale. iMore says, presumably from the same sources, that iPhone will go on sale — be released, be available — on Oct. 14. iPhone 5 won’t use weird screws after all because the screws were a hoax Some websites and blogs repeated a recent rumour that Apple was introducing in iPhone 5 a special screw that would make it much harder for third-party and do-it-yourself repairs. It turns out we don’t have to worry about that because the screw rumour was a deliberate hoax, distinct from the unintended hoaxes so common in the iOSphere, perpetrated by Lukasz Lindell of the Swedish Day4 blog. And we know this because Lindell described the plot in a blog post, “How we screwed (almost) the whole Apple community.” “Less than 12 hours later [after the initial post, complete with elaborate 3D rendering of the new screw] it had happened,” Lindell writes. “First came Apple blog Cult of Mac, who reported ‘Apple May Be Working On A Top Secret Asymmetric Screw To Lock You Out Of Your Devices Forever’ and then it just went on. More and more blogs wrote about the alleged leaks from Apple headquarters in Cupertino, USA. Yahoo, Wired jumped on. On Twitter, numerous posts raged about the issue. On YouTube, people made video blogs about the new screw. Google+ talked about it page after page.” Perhaps typical of the iOSphere, Boy Genius Report carried a brief account of the rumour, when it surfaced on Reddit, describing a “picture of dubious veracity showing that Apple is purportedly redesigning its screws to have asymmetric heads.” Lindell noticed two intriguing patterns in the reactions. “[T]he blogs and newspapers that reported on the screw all fell back on that this was a vague rumour, unconfirmed, but yet discussed what impact the screw could get for the Mac world if it was in use,” he noted. Readers of these posts reacted in a binary fashion: “Either they perceived the news as truth, or called it fake, no grey zone in between,” Lindell wrote. “The split between the two camps [of readers-commenters], was quite unequal. An estimate would be that 90% regarded the screw as a fact and based all the further opinion on that, only 10% were critical to accuracy.” The “further” from the original story, the more likely it was that readers simply accepted the story as true, according to Lindell. Now, even more of the news and rumour sites are covering the revelation of the exposure, such as AppleInsider, which pointedly notes that it for one “declined to cover” the original rumour. iPhone 5 will have a bigger battery iPhone 5 will ship with a bigger battery, based on photos published by 9to5Mac. But the extra oomph seems a bit underwhelming if writer Mark Gurman is correct about the battery’s specifications. The photos come from a “reliable parts source (via 9to5Mac contributor Sonny Dickson),” Gurman writes. It’s not quite clear what this means: Is the parts source reliable because it’s fed 9to5Mac reliable information in the past, or because Dickson claims that the source is reliable? The iOSphere Consensus Rumour is that iPhone 5 will have LTE wireless, a larger screen with more pixels, and possibly a new or at least improved CPU. All of which will increase demand on the battery. A bigger battery may be possible because of the expected larger vertical length of the New iPhone. According to Gurman’s story, the battery shown in the supplied photos has a capacity of 1440 mAh (up from 1430 mAh in the iPhone 4S), voltage of 3.8 (up from 3.7), and watts-per-hour of 5.45 (up a whopping 0.1 wHr, from 5.25). A drop in battery performance for iPhone 5 would be a big problem. We recently summarised some informed speculation on Apple’s iPhone 5 battery challenges, by Noam Kedem, vice president of marketing for Leyden Energy, a Fremont, Calif.-based battery maker for consumer electronics, electric vehicles and storage applications. Kedem doesn’t expect a battery breakthrough in iPhone 5, but does expect Apple to make every effort to optimise the phone’s power use by various components, stress power efficiency in selecting components such as LTE radio chipsets, and increase battery size wherever and however possible. More radical battery technologies may find their way into “iPhone 6.” 。 sex gadget,sex toy,adult toy

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

iPhone 5 vs. Samsung Galaxy S3: Comparing Design, Display, and Battery Power; Why iPhone Docking Products Are Incompatible with the iPhone 5

The Samsung and Apple war wages on as the iPhone 5 is set to officially debut on Sept. 12, but comparisons of the two company's devices may prove the hype for the iPhone 5 is unwarranted. The strong hype for Apple's latest iPhone device has led Jefferies analyst Peter Misek to believe the iPhone 5 will be "the biggest handset launch in history." Misek could be right, a lot of people will undoubtedly purchase the device but will they be satisfied with it? The design for the Samsung Galaxy S3 features a plastic casing, which may turn people away as the iPhone 5 will have a metal casing instead. The iPhone 5 is also expected to be 7.6mm thick with a non-removable battery, while the Galaxy S3 is a bit thicker with 8.6mm but with a removable battery. The screens of the devices are also different, with Samsung taking advantage. The Galaxy S3's screen is 4.8-inches with a Super AMOLED HD screen and a resolution of 1,280x720. The iPhone 5 has carries less numbers with only a 4-inch screen with a resolution of 1,136x640 and will remain with the IPS display as its predecessors. The screen size for the iPhone 5 is .5 bigger compared to the iPhone 4S, but .8 less than Samsung's device. As Latinos Post reported, the battery power for the iPhone 5 is expected to last eight hours for 3G users and 14 hours for 2G. Its battery life is expected to have a capacity of 1140mAh, which is 10mAh higher than the iPhone 4S. But once again, the battery life battle goes to the Galaxy S3 with a mAh of 2100. The battery life once again goes back to the display as a low mAh could suggest a small display which appears to be true if the iPhone 5 launches with the 4.0-inch screen. A major change iPhone 5 users can expect is it no longer accepts the 30-pin connector used in other Apple products. Latinos Post reported a small dock port is shown in rumored leaked images and it will support a 19-pin model. The change of the pin means it will no longer be compatible with current iPhone docking products, which gives Apple the opportunity to create and sell docking products for the 19-pin connector. The iPhone 5 is expected to launch on Sept. 12 for AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon with a price tag of $800 without a standard two-year contract but can go as low as $199 when signing a contract. The Galaxy S3 has already sold more than 10 million units in just for the month of July. 。 wholesale accessories,iphone accessories,ipad accessories,ipod accessories

iPhone 5 release date: New photos of Apple iPhone 5 features shock analysts

Since the announcement of the alleged iPhone 5 release date, which is scheduled for Sept. 12th 2012, the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini from Apple continue to have the web in a frenzy. As usual, the Cupertino company is very stingy with information, thus giving free rein to the wildest rumors. As we have seen with the release of the iPhone 4S and its previous rumors, most were false. Pictures of the Apple iPhone 5 create buzz Apple's products have definitely emerged as the stars of the summer. Due to the lack of information from the Californian company, leaks, rumors and speculation towards the iPhone 5 are increasing. It is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish the truth from false. Rumors, particularly concerning the appearance of the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini, are many. Recently, new pictures by iResQ (a company responsible for repairing Apple products) showing the connectors of these two devices are creating enormous buzz. Upon looking at these pictures, I immediately noticed the presence of an eight-pin connector, which is in total contradiction with the information revealed by iOS 6 Beta 4. Since their appearance on the web, these pictures have divided analysts. While some have questioned their authenticity, others believe they are closer to reality. We will find out who is right on Sept. 12th, which is the date set for the official launch of the iPhone 5 in the United States. What about the rumor of the iPad Mini being presented with the iPhone 5 during the keynote? In addition to the future generation of the new iPhone, the other anticipated product of the Apple brand is the iPad Mini, and rumors surrounding it are extremely numerous. Pending its official release which hitherto remains at the stage of speculation, the rumors about it are growing very quickly on the web. Regarding its appearance, it seems that contrary to what one might expect, the iPad Mini will not be a miniature version of the current iPad 3. Its appearance is closer to that of the iPod Touch or iPhone, according to the rumors. The site 9to5Mac has also posted some pictures of what would be a possible prototype of this mini tablet. From these pictures, we see that this so-called prototype shows a lack of bezel on the side, which is found on the current iPad. This could make it a little difficult to grip. The iPad Mini is also expected to be lighter, its weight should not exceed 650 grams. Finally, another detail that distinguishes the iPad Mini is a microphone on the back. Besides appearance, other information of interest to many users is the price of the new iPad Mini. The miniature version of the Apple tablet computer may be offered at a lower price to compete with other mini tablets. Be careful with the rumors surrounding the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini. With the iPhone 4S, very few people knew in advance the precise features of the iPhone 4S. There were thousands of concepts and assumptions, some of which were true. Keep constantly in mind, that these rumors did not come from Apple itself, making them somewhat easily discredited. Whether customers, suppliers or assemblers of the iPhone 5, Apple made ??secrecy a point of honor. There are many false rumors related to the iPhone 5 and keep a critical mind of any information given to you, either towards the iPhone 5, or more generally in everyday life. sex gadget,adult toy,sex toy
