The coming of iPhone 5 maybe support China mobile 3G Net work

We have saw many smart phones, but the most popular is Apple’s iPhone, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s have published, we have used them for several years.

However, the 4S still did not support China Mobile’s proprietary 3G network which made the iPhone inaccessible to a majority of Chinese mobile phone users despite availability on China Unicom and China Telecom.

iPhone 5 is coming and the most change is iPhone 5 likely to support China mobile 3G Net work. For Apple, it is a huge market share opportunity, Apple’s iPhone 5 will support Chinese language, and they are considering combine with Baidu and Sina weibo, these two platform are very popular in China. If the new phone can include these two platform, it can take back big revenue for them.

It is also a good message for Chinese people, it can avoid some trouble and become more convenient to individuals. Believe that iPhone will be take more market share when iPhone 5 is published, and it will bring a big surprise to us!

iPad is facing challenges

As far as we know, the dominance place of tablet computer is iPad, iPad is published by Apple, It was given a warm welcome when iPad came out! Of course, it is still popular now, but it is facing challenges!

Recently, several companies will release their own tablets, like Microsoft, Google and Samsung, Microsoft has published its “Surface”, Google will publish its Nexus 7 and Samsung will also publish its own tablet computer, then, the tablet computer market will be hot.

It is hard to say which company will win in the battle, and each of them has new characters, Microsoft’s Surface is with windows 8 operation and other technology which are different from iPad.

The Google Nexus 7 is a tiny little beast of a tablet – where the iPad is an iconic piece of machinery, the Nexus 7 seems to be a bit more of a solid set of elements pounded together with a hammer into a device that’s meant to be perfect for the several specific purposes it was made for. The Nexus 7 was made to be a device with which you download and consume media from the Google Play store – movies, television shows, music, books, and magazines – and of course games. The iPad, on the other hand, was made to be a companion for you in all situations where the iPhone is too small.


Samsung is also very popular with its smart phones, it moves to tablet computer field, it is obvious that it has a powerful technology, and it will take some market shares in tablet field, however, it is competitive for each company.

It is true that iPad is facing challenges, but as our customers, we take care is the functions of their products, if they can bring joy and happiness and if they are convenient! iPad is facing challenges now, we are looking forward to seeing other products!

Torture-testing the new iPad

I'll leave a little mystery for you: I won't tell you exactly what we did to the iPad in our first-ever Always On torture test, but generally speaking, we tried to simulate some of the toughest tests that real life throws at our devices, like say, when we leave them in cars in inclement weather, or they fall, or ... well, darnit, now I'm verging on spoiling the tests.

What I'm trying to say, though, is that we weren't just stunt joyriding by shoving the iPad in an ice chest -- darnit! And I think there were times when it hurt me more than it hurt the iPad! That said, I think I can safely say that our $500 was well spent on this device.

Obviously, your mileage may vary. Interestingly, the idea for starting with the iPad came from a conversation I had with CNET Reviews Editor in Chief Lindsey Turrentine, who told me her story about simply laying in bed reading her third-generation iPad and having it fall forward, hit her wedding ring, and crack on impact. So, I was sure the iPad wouldn't make it past even the most light-touch drop tests. (Darnit!) And yet, here it sits, none the worse for wear other than a dead battery.

Don't believe we were that hard on it? Watch the video for yourself, and find the complete Always On episode and clips here. And tell me your terrifying tales of iPad (or other gadget) destruction in the comments -- maybe we can re-recreate them! In the meantime, rest assured: the third-generation iPad, already a CNET Editors' Choice, is probably safe to leave in the car, give to your kids, and even spill a glass of water on.

Stolen iPhone Used to Track Down Thief

Police say a burglar on a crime spree was stopped in his tracks overnight when he stole the wrong thing.A stolen iPhone helped officers track the burglar's every move and arrest him.Jeri Fletcher says she came within moments of facing the thief. "When I saw the console up and the dome light was on, that's when I knew and I was like oh my gosh," she said.Fletcher had gone out to her car to find her missing phone. She considers herself very lucky today.

The burglar rummaged through her car and back utility room before trying to take off on her boyfriend's bike."The bike was parked right along here and he carefully maneuvered the bike out without waking anyone up," she described.

But the burglar threw the mountain bike on the ground and took off running when she stepped outside."I started yelling for him and he had to throw his clothes on real quick and run outside and he jumped on his bike to go and pursue the guy," Fletcher said.The man did make off with Jeri's cell phone, her boyfriend didn't see him and quickly returned after searching by bike. "I grabbed his phone and I said, well I'm going to call my phone, and he goes, don't call it, we can track it," she described.

Her boyfriend grabbed his phone and logged on to the app called Track my iPhone, it was able to track Jeri's phone down literally to the minute.Police arrived quickly, took the phone, and used the theft against the thief. "He looked at me and asked me, do you want me to take your phone with me," Josh said, "I said please, by all means and as quickly as I handed him my phone, they busted a u-turn and they were on their way after him."

In just minutes police caught up to him and identified the burglar as 34-year-old Vincent George Williams."They said he was violent, he was ready to fight and they said I was very lucky I did not come face to face with him downstairs," Fletcher told us.Instead police came face to face with him. Fletcher says her fortune did not end there, the officer came back with Josh's phone - and hers - in hand. "I was just like are you kidding me, this never happens, it never happens, I had already assumed, I had already taken a loss," she said.

Police not only recovered Jeri's stolen phone, but, they also found a bag full of makeup, a CD player and some loose change on Williams.Officers are not sure yet who owns the other stolen items.Back in December, Williams was detained by two customers at the Joe's Crab Shack along the Corpus Christi bayfront.

In that incident the victims saw a man ransacking their car, so they dragged him out and held him for police.He was found to be in possession of a radar detector, cell phone and hand soap that did not come from the victims' car.

what do you know about iPhone 5?

iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s have been published for months,and we are looking forward to seeing iPhone 5,what do you know about iPhone 5?

We can often heard the rumors about iPhone 5,last week,we heard that we can see a thinner iPhone 5,iPhone 5 will replace the 30-pin connector with a smaller 19-pin connector.This rumour about a new “mini” port has been around for at least a year. What’s new is that TechCrunch’s John Biggs claims that it is now “confirmed.”

The 30-pin port has been Apple’s standard since the company released the third generation iPod, according to Biggs. “The connectors offered structural stability when connecting to most accessories but it’s clear – especially with the introduction of the MagSafe 2 port [announced for the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina Display] – Apple is more concerned with space savings inside each device,” Biggs writes.

Whether the rumour is right or not,it is great for us,we care much about its functions,and it will be true that it is better than iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s.did you heard that rumours? In fact, it is not that important for us to know iPhone 5,we just need to wait for its publishing,and buy it!

Microsoft Unveils ‘Surface’ Tablet in iPad Challenge

Los Angeles. Microsoft on Monday unveiled a Surface tablet computer as the technology titan steps in with its own hardware to take on Apple’s market-ruling iPads.Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer described the iPad challenger as a tablet that “works and plays” when he showed it off at a press event in Los Angeles.


Surface is also the name of table and poster-sized touch screen computers that Microsoft has pitched to the business market for use in restaurants, shops, bars and other venues.A tablet demo video online at microsoft.com/surface/ promised the tablet was “coming soon.”

A version of Surface running on Windows RT software tailored for ARM mobile device chips measured 9.3 millimeters thick and weighed 676 grams.It boasted a 26.9 centimeter high-definition screen and will be available with 32 or 64 gigabytes of memory, according to Microsoft.

A tablet model powered by Windows 8 Pro software measured 13.5 millimeters thick, weighs 903 grams and will be available with 64 or 128 gigabytes of memory.“It’s a whole new community of computing devices from Microsoft,” Ballmer said. “It embodies the notion of hardware and software really pushing each other.”
Surface featured a flip-out rear “kickstand” to prop it up like a picture frame and a cover that, when opened, acts as a keypad so tablets could be switched into “desktop” mode for work tasks.
Microsoft did not specify when the tablet would be available but it is likely to be timed with the release of Windows 8 software later this year.“This product marks a crucial pivot in Microsoft’s product strategy,” said Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps.

“It puts the focus on the consumer rather than the enterprise,” she continued in a blog post. “And it lets Microsoft compete with vertically-integrated Apple on more even ground.”

Microsoft could be “its own worst enemy” in the tablet market if it overwhelms people with gadget options and specs such as chipsets instead of following Apple’s lead and keeping choices simple, the analyst warned.“Consumers aren’t used to thinking about chipsets,” Rotman Epps said.

“Choice is a key tenet of Windows, but too much choice is overwhelming for consumers,” she continued. “Apple gets this, and limits iPad options to connectivity, storage, and black or white.”

Microsoft, which built its fortune by specializing in software and leaving the job of making computers or other devices to partners, has had mixed results from its hardware ventures.

Galaxy Strong Contender To IPhone

The Galaxy's screen measures 4.8 inches diagonally, compared with 3.5 inches for the iPhone. That translates to a display area that's nearly twice the size. Yet the Galaxy is thinner and lighter.

Apart from that, the Galaxy shares the iPhone's curvy and shiny design, along with a center button that wakes up the device from power-saving mode or takes you from whatever you're doing to a home screen.
Unlike the iPhone, the Galaxy runs on faster 4G cellular networks (AT&T markets its iPhones as 4G, but the network is based on older technology). The Galaxy also comes with a new wireless technology called near-field communications, which can be used to share files and make purchases.

Pictures taken with the Galaxy were sharper and had better light balance than those with the iPhone, based on a handful of test shots I took. The Galaxy's tool for measuring data usage — for those of us no longer on unlimited plans — surpasses what comes with the iPhone.All that makes the Galaxy a strong contender to Apple's popular device.

I understand the comparison isn't entirely fair. The iPhone 4S is about eight months old, and there's a new model expected this fall. Last week, Apple previewed changes to the phone's operating system, promising improvements to its Siri virtual assistant, a mapping service with voice navigation and more.But the reality is the new Galaxy is available this week — not in September or October.

All four national wireless companies and regional carrier U.S. Cellular will sell the Galaxy, which runs the latest operating software from Google, a flavor of Android known as Ice Cream Sandwich.

The basic model with 16 gigabytes of memory will cost $200 with a two-year contract through AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and U.S. Cellular. That's comparable to the iPhone's $199. A 32 GB model will cost $250, which is cheaper than a comparable iPhone at $299. T-Mobile will charge at least $30 more than others, though it may still be cheaper overall with lower monthly data fees over two years.The Galaxy phones will be available in white or blue. AT&T will also have a red version this summer, but it won't carry the 32 GB model.Now back to Galaxy's screen.The Galaxy shines when displaying widescreen video. That's because much of the display's increase is in width rather than in height when the phone is held on its side, or landscape mode. The iPhone wastes some display real estate to make wider videos fit. There are unused strips of black above and below those videos.

When watching a foreign movie through a Netflix app, the Galaxy's larger screen makes the subtitles much easier to read. I can read them fine on the iPhone, but my eyes kept zeroing in on the text to do so, making me miss the action.The colors on the Galaxy also appeared richer, thanks to a screen that uses organic light-emitting diodes, rather than a standard LCD.All that video can deplete your data allowance in no time.On the iPhone, the tool for measuring data usage isn't easy to find. You have to choose "General" in your settings, then "Usage," and then "Cellular Usage." There's info there on the amount of data sent and received, but no total. You have to remember to manually reset the counter each month on the day your billing cycle starts.

On the Galaxy, "Data usage" is the third item from the top under "Settings." You can tell the phone when to warn you that you're about to reach your cap for the month. You can also automatically disable data usage when you've reached a pre-specified point to avoid extra charges. You don't have to do any math to get the total used, and the counter automatically resets each month. You can also see which apps use the most data.

Before I go further, I'll say a few things about where the iPhone still excels.— The iPhone has more software from outside parties, extending the device's functionality. Many apps are written only for the iPhone and other Apple devices. Versions for the Galaxy and other Android phones sometimes come months later and lack all of the features.— The iPhone works better than Android devices in corporate settings. Android, for instance, lacks the tools needed to access Wi-Fi at my office or the corporate email system (though some might consider that a plus for Android).— The iPhone has Siri, the virtual assistant that hears your voice commands and talks back.

The Galaxy introduces a voice assistant, but she's best described as Siri's forgotten stepchild. The Galaxy couldn't find an Indian restaurant just a block from me, and she gave me the name of a doctor when I asked for Thai restaurants. The Galaxy also lacks Siri's attitude and sense of humor.

Me: "What is the best smartphone?" Siri: "Wait, there are other phones?"The Galaxy replied with the grammatically incorrect and boring, "Opinion vary but I think Samsung Galaxy is the best of them all."Here's where the Galaxy prevails:— As with other Android devices, the Galaxy syncs well with Google services. By signing into a Google account, names, emails and phone numbers from my Gmail contacts are automatically transferred to the phone. The same happens with calendar entries. Apple uses a separate contact and calendar system, not the one I already use through Google.— You can remove the plastic back cover to switch the battery or insert a microSD card for additional storage of up to 64 gigabytes. The iPhone's battery can be replaced only by a technician, and there's no slot for more storage.
