iphones



Let's start measuring both the mobile platforms with features which we care about the most.
In terms of ease of use, most of the users will agree that iPhone takes the cake. Android has come a long way and has improved a lot but from the ease-of-use perspective, the iPhone wins hands down. Android phones consist of too many buttons and home screens too.



In terms of openness, Android is the clear winner since it is open source, and most users prefer openness in terms of what can be used with the smartphone. The apps make the phone, after all!
iPhone has the best battery compared to the Android phones. Most Android devices get lots of features and that is why the battery life is lower compared to the iPhone. Android phones vary in terms of battery performance but overall they are a notch lower than the iPhone here.
Both the mobile platforms are supportive of multi-tasking. iPhones and Android phones both support multitasking to the hilt nowadays while iPhone has had some trade-offs in terms of battery life improvements which is important too!
The iPhone's software keyboard is significantly better than the Android's default keyboard while in terms of a system-wide search, both iPhone and Android can search out almost anything although Android devices cannot search emails.
iPhone's notification center is a bit clumsy compared to the Android's list of notifications. But in terms of voice to text feature, the odds are slightly in favor of the iPhone since with the new Siri, the feature works much better than any of its counterparts.



iPhones are surprisingly old-fashioned when it comes to syncing and it requires the users to plug in and connect to iTunes that should have been done wirelessly. Android phones have a fantastic Google syncing capability so much so that it continues to work even if you change or lose your old smartphone.
Android is not so great in syncing with popular sources of data other than Google Sync especially Outlook, Address Book and the like. Here iPhone is the clear winner. The Android tethering situation is seriously better off than what the iPhone provides. Android edges ahead of the iPhone since it has the ability to turn your handset into a Wi-Fi hotspot which can actually deliver wireless connections to you of up to 7 friends.
Apple presents the iOS updates better than what Android does. The iPhone ecosystem is pretty much easy to understand and every new phone receives the new update. Every other phone in the ecosystem can also receive the update unless and until it is the oldest one.Android does not have a streamlines way of going about the updates.
And one of the most important feature of all: the apps. Though the Apple store has more than four times the number of apps than that of Android, there is a lot of crap too in the App Store. Also, as of now most of the critical apps are now available for both the iPhone and Android. Overall, it can be said that both are good.
One can safely say that in terms of gaming and music experience, there's no beating the iPhone apps yet. Android has a lot of catching up to do with the Android apps.

games for iphone

While iPhone has always been one of the best smartphones for gaming, iPhone users could not play heavy games on their favorite mobile, owing to the limited processing power of previous iPhone devices. But the launch of iPhone 4S along with the powerful iOS 5 has changed the game. With its powerful A5 microprocessor chip, iPhone 4S has 7 times better graphic support and double the processing speed of iPhone 4. 





This has made it possible for gaming companies to develop large-scale games for iPhone. This article takes a look at the 5 must-have games for iPhone 4S. While some of the games listed below are classic hits, the article also includes new games that take full advantage of the diverse facilities offered by iPhone 4S. 

                                        

Infinity Blade 2 
Infinity Blade 1 is already a huge iPhone hit. The second version of this games was released at Apple’s iPhone Presentation Keynote, and this version makes full use of special iPhone 4S features to offer better graphics and gaming experience. The new game is an extended version: it sports over 100 new weapons and a bigger world with better environment. Among games for iPhone 4S, Infinity Blade 2 makes the best use of new iPhone 4S features. 


                              

Dead Space 
Unlike most survival horror games, Dead Space doesn’t turn boring on iPhone. The iPhone game developer for this console game has been able to recreate the eerie experience on iPhone 4S. The ‘nightmare’ scenarios of this game will grab your attention, and the gory graphics will satisfy your bloodlust. While this is not a game for people who dislike violent games, hardcore gamers will love Dead Space. 

Angry Birds Rio 
This crazy game doesn’t need use of the special iPhone 4S features, but it is still great fun. Everyone plays angry birds, and if you do not have it in your mobile yet, you are either a newbie or a rarity. This version of Angry Birds uses physics to decide the trajectory of the angry birds, and it offers some surprising twists on the original game. This game teaches an important lesson: iPhone game development doesn’t need to be complex in order to be successful. 


Machinarium 
This famous PC game has, at last, made it to the iPhone. The mature graphics of this game, combined with superb soundtrack that urges the player to respond faster, make it a very addictive. The point-and-click shooting options for the game suit the iPhone platform perfectly. The best part of this game are its different types of puzzles and changing scenarios. This is a great game for killing time. 

Grand Theft Auto 3 
One would assume that this popular PC game requires a large screen, but the iPhone 4S version of the game challenges this assumption. GTA iPhone game development team embraced all the new features of iPhone 4S to create this open-world racing heaven: the game works only on iPhone 4S and iPad 2. This version of GTA comes with striking graphics that can only be supported by iPhone 4S’s A5 microprocessor chip. 

IAD (iPhoneApplicationDevelopers) is a renowned iPhone game development company. iPhone game development team at IAD consists of experienced iPhone game developers who possess in-depth knowledge regarding different iPhone devices and operating systems.

iPhones are among the best available smart-phones today. iPhone users are always looking for something new and interesting to do on their iOS device. This provided an opportunity for mobile application development companies and other individuals to apply their knowledge and imagination to create app and other entertainment features for this great device. Developing games for iPhone has now become a very popular and profitable business activity for every mobile development company and other game development houses. 



Mentioned below are the top 5 games for iPhone that are available in the market: 

1. Rolando: Rolando for iPhone is just like Mario was for Nintendo, i.e. it is an iconic figure and a must have for every device. This is basically an adventures game that is based on puzzles. The game has been created such that it is simple in the beginning and as the user develops skills over the game it gets more and more challenging. The mobile development company who created the first part has now also launched its sequel, Rolando 2: The Quest For The Golden Orchid and users are recommended to get both the titles and start their journey through Rolandoland. 

2. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars: All those who have played the original Grand theft game on their systems would know how addictive this game is. Well now iPhone users can download and install the Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on their device and enjoy the game whenever and wherever they want. Although, the controls may be a little tough in the beginning but once you get hold of it the rewards are really addictive. Further, for just $9.99 it is three times cheaper than its versions for other devices. 

3. Dragon’s Lair: This beautifully animated game is a real treat for iPhone users who happen to be a fan of arcade and laser games. Although, the game has been ported many times in the past but it really suits the iPhone. In $5 you can get Dragons lair and enjoy the crisp and bold visuals in a game that requires split-second decisions and controls. 

4. Peggle: Peggle has the reputation of being one of the most addictive games to be ever released for iPhone. The game is so beautifully synchronized according to the iPhone and its users that it seems that the game is meant for iPhone only. With more than 100 unique levels and support for multiplayer mode you are in for a very addictive and long time game. 

5. Spider- The Secret of Bryce Manor: This is a game anyone can easily fall in love with. The game appears to a standard puzzle based game but in-fact it is a very impressive mystery game which users might very easily miss initially. The game brings along with it a lot of emotions including sadness, fear, cheerfulness, dread and could lift up the spirit of users to amazingly high level. 

For all those iPhone lovers who like playing games on their device would definitely find this list very interesting and useful. As for organizations and businesses who want to launch a game of their own, it is recommended that you hire a reputed and experienced mobile development company or software development company having extensive experience in mobile apps development for iOS.

What Does the Red Light Mean on the HTC HD2?

The HD2 HTC smart phone, available with the T-Mobile network, offers multimedia messaging, GPS and access to the Internet. One of those features includes a light emitting diode notification at the top of the screen and one on top of the phone itself. This light may flash from green to amber and even red, when it is experiencing a problem or you have several notifications






  1. Charging Issues

    • When the battery is fully charged, the LED emits a green light. When the battery wears down, it emits an amber light, meaning there’s only 20 percent of the battery left. When there is a 10 percent charge left, the light changes to red. If there is an issue with the charging process, the light will blink red. If this happens, confirm there are no bent pins in the connection between the phone and the charger. If the charger has bent pins, it cannot deliver the charge to the phone sufficiently.

    Multiple Notifications

    • The HD2 HTC smart phone uses the LED element at the top of the phone screen to inform you of messages. When you receive a new message, the LED emits a green light. In the case of multiple missed notifications, this light may turn to a blinking red light to let you know to check your messages. You will need to check voice, text and email messages and clear this for the light to stop blinking.

    Third-Party Applications

    • Sometimes the red warning light means an application is causing a problem. Because the T-Mobile HTC HD2 phone works with third-party applications, sometimes one of these applications can conflict with the phone’s software or another application resulting in the red light. Close out each open application one at a time and pay attention to the light. If it goes out after a specific application is closed, this is the problem application.

    Bad Battery

    • If the HTC HD2 battery is not working properly, the red light will blink or come on. When you are charging the HTC HD2, until the phone accepts a charge, the light will stay red, as it charges the light will change. If you’ve charged it for three hours and the warning light stays red, the battery may require replacement or is causing the phone to overheat. At this point, replace the battery to see if that works, if it does not, the phone requires service.

at&t iphone



Both the iPhone and the Tilt are AT&T smartphones (at least in the United States), however, the overall main difference between the iPhone and the AT&T Tilt, according, at least, to the way the two devices are being marketed, is that the iPhone is being targeted more towards the consumer-user and the AT&T Tilt towards the business-user. Both smartphones, however, have excellent qualities appealing to both types of users.



Both the AT&T Tilt and the iPhone are touch screen smartphones, though the iPhone touch screen can be controlled by your fingers whereas controlling the AT&T Tilt touch screen requires using the included stylus. Beyond the touch screen, the iPhone has a single multi-purpose navigator button while the AT&T Tilt has several additional buttons.
Unlike the iPhone, the AT&T Tilt sports a unique screen design that allows users to slide out a full QWERTY keyboard from behind the main casing and tilt the display upwards so the user can view and control the phone similarly to the way one would a laptop or PC. The iPhone is a single candy bar unit with no sliding parts, though both the iPhone and the AT&T Tilt can be turned sideways for a widescreen view of the display screen as an alternative to the standard portrait.
The weaknesses of the feature-rich iPhone are in the way of the basic, essential functions of a smartphone - call quality and speed of the data network. Even though the AT&T Tilt uses the same EDGE data network as the iPhone, the Tilt has a wider array of wireless options available, including access to the 3G network, a feature the current generation of iPhone's cannot claim (though a 3G iPhone is reportedly in the works). Also, according to a perusal of online customer feedback, the Tilt also boasts superior call quality over the iPhone. Having said that, however, the iPhone has up to 480 minutes of talk-time whereas the max talk time on the AT&T Tilt is only about half that.
In the way of features, the digital camera on the AT&T Tilt is 3.0 megapixels while the iPhone's is only 2.0 megapixels. The Tilt includes a GPS but the iPhone does not. The call history on the Tilt is more substantial, indicating talk time duration and other details not available in the iPhone's call history. Likewise, the Tilt displays a distinction between calls received and calls made whereas the iPhone does not. The processor on the AT&T Tilt is significantly slower than that of the iPhone, with a much higher tendency to freeze up and necessitate a reboot. The iPhone has a much larger built-in storage capacity (at 4-8 GB) while the AT&T Tilt can only hold 128 MB.
The major sweeping difference between the two devices is that the iPhone runs on Apple's Mac OS X while the AT&T Tilt runs on Windows Mobile 6 Professional, which is tantamount to the difference between any Mac PC or laptop and the equivalent Windows PC or laptop. So the AT&T Tilt offers users, for example, the full Windows Office Mobile suite of programs (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) while iPhone users benefit from all the innovative software resulting from the newly issued iPhone SDK (software development kit). The bottom line here is that, since most computer-users classify themselves as either Mac-people or Windows-people, the decision as to which device is "better" really boils down to one's personal preference between Mac and Windows.
The AT&T Tilt sells for at least $100 less than the iPhone.

4g iphone



When Steve Jobs revealed the Apple iPhone 4G during his 2010 Keynote address, the announcement was met with much speculation and skepticism. Why now? Why so soon? Why the necessity? These are just some of the questions that greeted the advent of the newest model in Apple's flagship line.



But in this iPhone 4G review, we wish to assure you, the prospective end user, that the newest iteration of the popular handheld device truly, certainly, absolutely, undoubtedly ROCKS!
Stop asking how to afford an iPhone 4G. There are many ways to score a free iPhone 4G anyway, which we will discuss later on. For now, take a look at 10 fabulous reasons why you should own the next incarnation of the world's most popular mobile phone.
1. Video calling. This is, perhaps, the most exciting addition to the Apple iPhone 4G. With the addition of a front camera, video calling is now possible. You can use IM video conferencing, video calls allowed by your network, or Apple's proprietary video chat application, the iChat.
2. Sexier design. The iPhone 4G is said to be 25% lighter and thinner than previous models. Aesthetically, this would mean a sleeker, sexier design. Functionally, this would also mean that people with delicate hands - particularly females - will have an easier time handling the device.
3. Longer battery life. For this iPhone 4G review, the longer battery life promised by Apple is the clincher. After all, our enjoyment of this cellphone greatly depends on how long we can use it. With more than 30% battery life added to the unit, we can be guaranteed of a longer time in enjoying the new things that the iPhone 4G can offer.
4. Front cam applications. Of course, the front camera isn't only good for video calling. A slew of applications are now being developed to make good use of this new feature. Imagine, a game where you - with your exact likeness - would be the protagonist. Or a real time makeover app? The possibilities are endless.
5. Higher resolution. The unit boasts of a 960 x 540 resolution, a fantastic dimension for mobile devices. HD videos would look amazing on the iPhone 4G's new OLED screen. And with the improved HD audio playback promised by Apple, you can have a marvelous multimedia experience on the go!
6. Better camera. Improved to 5 megapixels, the newest version of the popular product just made an already impressive image capturing feature even more powerful and noteworthy! Also, the 4G model now has a flash!
7. Lower price, with no subscription plans. At $199 for 32GB and $299 for 64GB, this should put a stop to searches for answers to the question how to buy an iPhone without subscription. You're free to choose a telecommunications network you're comfortable with, and you won't have to worry about a restrictive lock-in period.
8. Better WiFi connectivity. The newest model will finally support 802.11n, which will make it at par with its current generation rivals, the Google Nexus One and HTC HD2.
9. Multitasking capabilities. Tired of having to close an app just to open up a new one? Well, the 4G model will finally, FINALLY allow you to multitask, i.e. to open up several applications simultaneously. This iPhone 4G review's reaction can be summarized in 3 words: it's about time!
10. The small things that pack a wallop. Unified mailbox. A folder for apps. New wallpaper and background options. True GPS built in. These are just some of the many more software additions to the model, making it the best iteration of the product to date.
So, what's the verdict of this Apple iPhone 4G review? Is Apple's newest product worth the purchase?
You can decide for yourself as you don't have to buy a unit. You can avail of the free iPhone 4G offer at http://www.get-free-iphone-4g.info by signing up to test the model and eventually owning the phone that will be given to you. No commitment necessary. Just TEST and OWN an iPhone 4G!


                                                                          


iphone 4 case


iPhone from Apple has revolutionized the world of smart phones. There are very few products today which can compete with an iPhone on the basis of its applications and technology. Acquiring an iPhone is the dream of all gadget freaks as it has features that makes life simpler and connect the world at your touch.



For a phone that comes with a 4 inch display and is fully touch sensitive, covers or cases are almost a necessity for its protection. Like the iPhone which has taken a leap in the area of phones to become one of the most coveted phones, the cases for iPhone have also been designed to match the class and quality of the product. What sets apart the cases for the iPhone is the variety in which these are available and the quality of the material they are made out of. The covers predominantly safe guard the iPhone from scratches and strain.
However in some cases the touch screen is exposed and this provides a problem for the safety issue. Cases also speak for fashion, and the ones in vibrant colors are the most popular ones. With soft plastic or other materials, these covers provide a strong grip for the phone and ensures that the iPhone stays safe.
Going a little overboard on the budget, one can also purchase cases for iPhone that comes in metals. The most costly ones would be diamond studded cases that are custom-made and are hence very costly. These cases are used by limited people as these exceed the cost of the phone itself.
iPhone users are spoilt for choice in terms of cases as there are options both in terms of material and type. Pouch covers are also a rage as these protect the iPhone with maximum effect. iPhone 4 cases are uniquely identified by the logo of the half-bitten apple on the outer side of the covers. These are the authentic cases for your iPhone.
Besides the iPhone 4 cases from apple one can also go on for cases from other manufacturers that are specially made for the iPhone. A phone that will completely mesmerize you with its smooth technology, impressive design and endless applications deserves a case that matches the product both in terms of quality and design. iPhone 4 cases are only one of the many accessories that can be used for the product. Go ahead and style your phone the way you want it.

iphone 4 white



When any technology gadget has two colors one of the first questions that is always asked: "Is one color for men and the other for women?" The simple answer when it comes to the white iPhone 4 vs. the Black iPhone 4 is NO. In fact, many discussion boards and websites have looked in to this very thing. Although there is no hard evidence coming from Apple it seems that iPhone color is chosen more based on individual taste than gender specific guidelines.



There was a questionnaire on Macforum.com that asked iPhone users to state what color iPhone they have and what their gender was. The questionnaire had some surprising results.
  • Male with Black iPhone: 106 people or 53.54%
  • Male with White iPhone: 72 people or 36.36%
  • Female with Black iPhone: 10 people or 5.05%
  • Female with White iPhone: 10 people or 5.05%


Although this survey is not scientific by any means, it does give us some insight. Men were more likely to have a black iPhone than a white iPhone but women were just as likely to have either (although this is from a significantly smaller sample size). Surveys on other websites returned much the same results but in most cases even women chose the black iPhone over the white iPhone. When asked which color iPhone 4 do you want the results were still consistent.
The bottom line is that both men and women actually prefer the black iPhone the white. With the iPhone 3G and 3Gs both white and black models were offered and the black constantly out sold the white. The same is true for Google searches when a new iPhone is going to be released. Early on, when both the black and white iPhone 4s were going to be released, average monthly Google searches for black iPhone 4 far outpaced that for white iPhone 4. Black iPhone 4 had 2,900 searches while the white iPhone 4 had 10% of that at 260. Across the board, both male and female, black iPhones are more popular than their white brethren. The fact that seems to get lost most is that these are white and black iPhones not pink and black iPhones. If that were the case there would probably be a much more pronounced gender preference.
When multiple people were asked which color iPhone they wanted the answers were never uniform based on gender:
"I'm going to get the white iPhone 4 because it has a clean look to it and I hear finger smudges won't show up as much." -Trent Pirillo
"I like the black iPhone 4 for its slick design. The chrome looks much better on black than it does on white." -Julie Hodge
"I have the black one because it is already out and I don't have to wait for it. I don't care about the color because I put a cover on my iPhone anyways." -Paul Bowman
It is hard to tell whether the iPhone color is a gender thing. From interviews and online surveys it does not seem that gender has anything to do with the color iPhone that a person picks. What is very apparent is that the majority of people like the black iPhone over the white iPhone. When "The White" does finally come out it would be interesting for Apple to release gender specific statistics. Give a choice which would you choose?
