IPad 3 to be launched in first week of March 2012.

This past month rumors have been flowing here and there about the new IPad. At the same time last year everyone was expecting IPad 2. The rumors and reports about IPad 3 began back in December and hopes were high that it will be launched in February 2012, but it isn’t now the stakes are higher than ever because the IOS users want and are expecting some major  changes in the upcoming device in the first week of march. This news was given by All Things D.

We have already discussed some rumors and specifications which are being expected in IPad 3. The report tells that IPad 3 will be revealed to the world in San Francisco in the first week. Apple has the highest stocks and share in the market as of 2011 and i don’t think they are going to take any chances now. IPad 2 was also launched in march 2011, and have done a great deal in the tablet and computer market. So Apple is thinking the same about the IPad 3. They are maintainig there momentum to keep their name higher than others.

As most of you all know that, the new IPad will be same like IPad 2 in design. Some major changing in resolution which i think is a good job by Apple with resolution up to 2048×1536 Retina Display, bringing its pixel density in line with the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. With improved Camera 5 megapixels and a LED flash. thickness same as the IPad 2. So March is not away we just have to wait and watch.

i phone t

Tons of peeps all over the world received their iPhone to use with their Verizon plan yesterday - so I thought it would be good timing to start a series for the beloved apps - what apps I absolutely love and can't live without, arty apps, fun games, and organization tips. As someone who has an iPhone for almost 2 years, and has 231 apps in circulation (not to mention the amount of apps I've downloaded and gotten rid of). I hope my insight can help the newbies get started quickly, as well as begin to see how their lives will never be the same!

First up are the apps I use every single day. These are apps that have changed my life, can't live without them, would die if anything happened to my iPhone and I couldn't use these. Seriously.

(NOTE: I do not get a kick back or am an affiliate of ANY of the following.) 

1. Alarm Clock. Recently, iPhone's Clock stopped working one morning and thousands of people who rely on this app for their alarm clock missed appointments, meetings and most importantly, their flights. Nevermore! The Alarm Clock app has lots of features, and decent tones to wake up to as well as the option to wake up to a song in your iPod.
2. CalenGoo. For those of you who use Google Calendar (and you probably should since it's portable from anywhere) CalenGoo is by far the best calendar app I've had. Options to invite people to events, color coded just like on the computer, you can zoom in and out and it saves all the important details from your meeting information. Even works when you have no internet connection, which is so very awesome.
3. The Weather Channel. I check this app a few times a day. If it's winter, I check the "hourly" forecast to see when it's supposed to start snowing. If I'm shopping for an outfit, I check the 10 day to see what the weather will be like when I'm going to be wearing said outfit. If I'm traveling, I check to see how the weather will be where I'm going. And every night I check to see what the temp will be like the next day so my husband and I can plan what to wear. Invaluable.
4. Evernote. This one is a handy-dandy catch-all, both online and on the phone. Online it's a great bookmarking system for info and websites, on the phone, I snap photos of my driver's license so I don't have to dig it out of my wallet. I keep banking account info on there (yeah, my phone is locked up tight) so I can make deposits without having to remember my bank account numbers. You can snap photos and upload them to your online Evernote so you don't forget a price, or product, or name of something.
5. Facebook. I read my news feed everywhere I go, if I'm stuck in traffic, in doctor's offices, and I think my news feeds have been more interesting when I'm posting from somewhere when something interesting has happened to me, like the time I posted when an older lady with a dressed teddy bear asked me to watch him so she could go buy her breakfast. Lately, people have been emailing me on Facebook for business so it's good to be able to keep up with that too.
6. Google Maps. I use this wherever I go since it has GPS - and I never get lost. I just type in the address and go. It has a map feature so you can see how far and a list feature for the rights and lefts of it.
7. MobileRSS. This is the best iPhone RSS reader I've ever used. Keeps my Google reader organized, allows you to tweet and share articles the same way you would online, or save articles for reading later offline. Very attractive interface.
8. Producteev. This is the best to-do organizer out there, and I've tried ALL OF THEM. Sync it to an online version for your to-dos daily, business, home, volunteer work, whatever is in your life, this thing is awesome. Syncs to Google calendar and reminds you of stuff you forgot - which is great both online and on the go. The app is indispensable.
9. Allrecipes. Know you have chicken to make for dinner but have no idea what to do with it? Try their Dinner Spinner, which lets you put in the ingredient, the meal, and the time you want to take to cook it to find recipes. LOVE this!
10. IMDB. When you're watching TV or a movie and can't remember what else that guy was in. Or when you want to know how old she is, or who they were married to before. I use this app more and more. Recently, I've found it's useful for seeing age differences in characters, like when they pair someone up with a mother who is actually 8 years older than they are. Fun. I use this app way more than I ever use the online website.
11. Our Groceries. A totally FREE app that lets you keep a running list of what you need from the grocery store as well as sharing the list with your spouse, so they can see and/or add to the list. We used to use Grocery IQ but it is clunky, has too many coupons and runs super slow. This is the best alternative. Why write down a grocery list ever again? You won't lose this one and you can put stuff on the list as you think of it, or run out of it. Also an Our Groceries online version that everyone can type their groceries into, in case you hate typing with your iPhone, or aren't used to it yet.
12. Shazam. I really love Shazam. Never, ever wonder what the name of that song is or who sings it, ever again. Plus, once you "tag" it, you can then purchase it from iTunes or see the video on YouTube. I use this one a lot.
13. Yelp. I use Yelp before I go to most restaurants I've never been to before. At the very least, other people's reviews will tell me what to order or not to order, but it also offers directions, restaurant websites, hours of operation. Sometimes these are better than most restaurant websites.
14. NetFlix. I have a Netflix account, yes, for $10 a month. But it affords me so much more! I can watch TV and movies on my iPhone now! Don't think I don't take earphones everywhere I go, in case I have to stand in line for 30 seconds, because I do. Yes, I do. Lately I've been watching the Kids in the Hall series but I've also been known to indulge in the first four seasons of 30Rock and Parks and Recreation.
15. AroundMe. Where's the nearest gas station? ATM? How far is the closest Bed, Bath and Beyond? Is there a parking garage in the next few blocks? All of these questions and more answered with this handy app, especially when you're traveling but also when you just forget where crap is.

iPhone users - what are the apps YOU can't live without so far? Did I miss any? Can you share some with me? I love me some apps!

android games

Car racing games appeal to the adrenaline junkie in all of us. While many classic car race enthusiasts insist that car racing is fun only when you are playing on a big TV screen, countless gamers use their smartphones for gaming purposes.

BlackBerry, iPhone or Android: Which Wholesale Cell Phones to Choose?

When we think of buying wholesale cell phones, we think of what is best for our business. It is not enough knowing that the latest type of mobile phones released are Android phones thus we will immediately resort to buying that type of phone alone. We need to look also at the market share by doing a short survey or study on what the market want these days.

We all know that Android phones are the hottest cell phones in the market today. Wherever you look, chances are you would see someone holding an android phone. It is a phenomenon but this wide use of android phones could be location specific or if you have an online store and covers a wide area in your city, you would probably have more customers looking for this type of mobile phone. Having an android phone is like having your computer transferred to your cell phone and for this very reason people have switched to this type of mobile phone.

The other side of the market goes to iPhone. Some customers are brand specific and the first or the original is usually the leader in the market and some people like that idea thus they stick to the first in the line-up of "intelligent phones". iPhone has made a remarkable name in the cellular world and in this industry of never-ending battle of intelligent phones, the leader is most liked by customers. The features of iPhone are some of the best that is offered in the market therefore creating a big lead among intelligent phone enthusiasts.

BlackBerry also has its market share and being able to acquire a unique feature makes its presence continuous in the cellular world. Having push email as an inherent feature of the phone has created a lot of waves especially those in the corporate world and also for those who are glued to their emails. It came to a point before when laptops were very indispensable to some people because of email but when the birth of Blackberry came about, things have changed in the way we carry things with us.

It can be a difficult decision on which wholesale cell phones would be better. When it comes to making decisions on purchases, we always need to look on the customers' side. Try putting yourself into the shoes of the buyer and from there, you will know what phone to sell. If you see an equal market share for the three major mobile phones being sold in the market these days, then try making a deal with your wholesaler on this. Buy wholesale for those three major types. If there is a hierarchy in terms of numbers, then come up with a plan in buying wholesale with the most searched cell phone in the internet or in stores then purchase only a few number of cell phones that you need for the other types.

Always remember that the market will dictate what cell phones you will be selling and because of this, your market shall tell you which phones you should be buying in wholesale the most.

Wireless Association is an online marketplace where you can find Wireless Wholesale and Wholesale Cell Phones

android 2.2 vs iphone

Apple's iPhone and Google's Android 2.2 Froyo are getting ready for another epic battle. On the first look of it the Android performs faster that iPhone except when the former is enabled for Flash 10.1 plugin. Latest devices from respective titans in the world of smart phones, they can both give unforgettable experiences to the user.

Google, Verizon, and Adobe announced their next wave Android based Motorola Droid device on June 23rd. A day later Apple and AT&T launched iPhone 4. Both appeared almost simultaneously in American and European markets.

Market statistics reveal that Apple has already sold by July, 2010 over 600,000 iPhone 4. However, they suffer from serious ordering problems in United States. On the other hand the one launched by Google and others is a significant upgrading of the popular brand of Motorola, the Android. The battle for the smart phone crown is now virtually on.

New iPhone 4 boasts of some impressive items like the front facing camera, high definition 720p recording of videos, 5 megapixel rear facing cameras, three axis gyroscopes, 960x640 resolution and LED display of 3.5 inches. Above all it has much longer battery life than its predecessors.

Android 2.2 Froyo on the other hand has Droid X technology. It features 4.3 inch display, equal video recording capabilities as iPhone 4, HDMI output and screen resolution of 854x480. Eight megapixel cameras with flash and various other advanced features mark the excellence of the device. It also has the capability of using the Flash Player 10.1 used for the mobile devices.

While both the devices look very impressive, android suffers from one drawback that keeps iPhone 4 a step ahead, is the absence of front facing camera. On the other hand the feature of HTC's Android based EVO 4G keeps it a step ahead of iPhone 4. That means with pros and cons balanced, one is back to square one in determining which one is better; android or iPhone.

Some of the features of Android 2.2 Froyo are new home screen widget tips; and it also has dedicated shortcuts. Improved security, numeric pin, alpha-numeric options for unlocking, remote wipe, exchange calendars, auto discovery, exchange account, global address lists, gallery, camera onscreen buttons, and LED flash enabled for Camcorder. Multi lingual uses can add several languages with auto suggest dictionary feature. Kernel memory management booster improves the memory by 20x.

Apple brings up new nice hardware most of the times. On the other hand a new Android device makes its appearance in the market every time. Apple has lagged behind in keeping pace with Androids in terms of multiplicity of devices.

When it comes to sales as well as market penetration, it seems presently iPhone4 is way ahead. Apple occupies about 28% of the mobile phone market in United States. In contrast the Androids including Android 2.2 Foryo occupy only 9% of the market. Both have grown by around 2% over the years and also by that rate during the first quarters of 2010.

Thus iPhone still has much larger share of the market but Android is coming up very strong and is likely to give them a run for their money in near future.

android 2.2

Samsung's Galaxy Tab with Android 2.2 OS is being widely regarded as a worthy competitor to Apples iPad while still being primarily a mobile phone.

This modern device has won a lot of compliments, rave reviews and plenty of appreciation from the clients in a very short time. You'll find this phone through different mobile phones deals. All the major telecom networks like Three, Virgin, Vodafone, T mobile etc are providing various Samsung Galaxy Tab deals.

The dimensions of the Galaxy Tab are 190x 120 mm; it stays extremely slim at just 12 mm. It's also light-weight at 380 g, and thus a lot more portable as compared to its Apple rival. The TFT capacitive touch screen measures 7 inches and it is able to display approximately 16 million colors from the screen which usually packs 600x 1024 pixels directly into its dimensions. This leads to top quality high-definition display, which means HD video can be appreciated for what it truly is. The same TouchWiz UI as found on the older Samsung Galaxy S makes an appearance, providing a customizable and simple-to-operate experience. The display also includes multi-touch help that allows functions like pinch to zoom, whilst an accelerometer alarm is usually included with the impressive Swype text input program.

In spite of a storage space of 16/32 GB there's a special slot for the mini card that's for expandable storage, a total capacity that can match the capability of a computer. Thereby there is an infinite storage capacity. Besides there's a 3.15 megapixel digital camera which includes auto-focus, LED flash, a secondary digital camera of 1.3 mega-pixels. Little wonder, all the network suppliers are facing great difficulty determining the exact Samsung Galaxy Tab deals.

Various specs include supporting system for DLNA, built-in GPS, HSPA, Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0. The 4000 mAh battery power will need to shut down for 4-6 hours of continuous use, that's somewhat disappointing however a software patch (for much better application and processor regularity managing) could restore that.

Samsung has most certainly not cut any corners when determining to stake their claim in the Tablet personal computer market. The Samsung Galaxy Tab could be the new kid on the market with huge shoes to fill, but with its specifications and style, this really is the system which has got what it takes. There are some great discounts available for this amazing Android phone/tablet that will easily slip into a pocket or purse.

The Google Nexus S Boasts The Latest Version Of The Android Operating System

Google has just released the second installment of their Nexus smartphone series. The first was manufactured by HTC, however this time around the internet giants have opted for Samsung to produce their high end android Smartphone.

The Google Nexus S measures 123.9x 63x 10.9 mm and weighs in at 129 g. It is therefore rather pocket friendly and slimline considering the amount of technology within. The facia is dominated by a generously proportioned 4 inch super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen which utilises a pixel layout of 480x 800 to display up to 16 million colours.

Alongside 512 MB RAM, the Google Nexus S offers a generous 16 GB of internal storage. This is more than capable of storing a large music collection, or selection of video clips, photos, documents or downloaded apps. Due to this level of storage, the need for a microSD slot or any other expandable storage is simply not necessary.

Whilst GPRS & EDGE keep the handset connected to the appropriate cellular networks on the move, Google Nexus S relies on 3G coverage for its initial means of Internet access, whereby an HSDPA connection provides download speeds of up to 7.2 mega bytes per second. In order to enjoy a faster Internet browsing experience, users can take advantage of local wireless networks thanks to full Wi-Fi connectivity. Of course the standard Bluetooth and micro USB connections also included allowing users to connect to compatible hardware devices.

The Google Nexus S is also a competent camera phone boasting 5 mega pixel offering which operates at 2560x 1920 pixels, resulting in still images of the utmost clarity and quality. Auto-focus, touch-focus and an LED flash are all provided to improve the quality of photos, and simultaneously simplify the task of taking them. Geo-tagging is included which, thanks to GPS, automatically tracks the location at which photos were taken. As an alternative to taking still images, users also have the luxury of shooting video footage using this camera, and this is in WVGA quality at a rate of 30 frames per second. An additional VGA camera is located on the front of the phone, allowing video calls to take place.

Google has included the latest version of its wildly popular Android OS, version 2.3 aka Gingerbread. In conjunction with a 1 GHz processor, users are guaranteed a fast user experience and a powerful platform for customising their phone with downloadable apps from the Android Market. The standard list of features includes numerous multimedia and entertainment applications as well as productivity calls and social networking integration.

As you can see, the Google Nexus S is one of the most advanced Smartphones available, utilising the best available hardware and software alike. This is a Smartphone which ticks all the boxes and is futureproof thanks to its operating system which is upgradeable when new versions are released.
