Rumors are still abound regarding the release of iPhone 5 also commonly referred to as iPhone 4S. In reality, the rumors about iPhone 5 release have become rather a rage with the cell phone industry certain that the new phone will make its entrance in spring of 2012. Tech fanatics as well as Apple fans are fervently awaiting the release of iPhone 5, however Apple is still facing competition from other smart phone manufacturers such as HTC, Motorola and Samsung. Nokia in conjunction with Windows are expected to announce the debut of their first smartphone operating on Windows 7 operating system this fall. As rumors continue to fly around about the release of iPhone 5, let's take a sneak peak at some of the key features of iPhone 5 smartphone that may rattle the rest of the competition.
Product specifications 4G
4G has become the latest rage, especially amongst smartphone enthusiasts given that it provides them with fast internet access. Currently, mobile service providers AT&T plus Verizon are the only ones that are offering 4G services. Some of the rumors flying around are that Apple is deferring the release of iPhone 5 so as to make it a 4G handset to the carriers. But, there are also rumors that Apple may give Sprint the new iPhone.
Camera
Apple has made adjustment in the camera section by fitting the current iPhone 4 with a 5-megapixel camera along with LED flash. However, rumors are flying around that iPhone 5 may be fitted with an 8 megapixel camera. The lens to the phone will be supplied by either Sony or Omnivision.
Processor
There is an agreement in consumer electronic circles that Apple will introduce its dual-core A5 processor to the new iPhone 5 smartphone. The dual-core A5 chip is similar to the one used to power iPad 2. It is expected that the A5 processor will be in the range of 1.2 GHz to 1.5GHz given that numerous Android smartphones already have processor speeds of 1.2GHz. Plus, other smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung already have phones running dual-core processors. Other features that iPhone 5 smartphone are expected to have are HDMI-Out port, enhanced graphics, increased memory capacity of up to 64GB and an improved battery life. The current battery in the 4S has had it's problems and I'm sure this problem will be fixed and improved by the time of the release of the iPhone 5.

How To Experience Great Photography With Your Android Phone

Uploading photos to Flickr, Facebook and the rest has never been easier because you don't have to tag along your camera everywhere you go when your phone can turn into a high end camera. You always have your phone with you but not your camera, and that should not deter you from taking photos at any given time or place.
The challenge certainly would be to deliver good photos from a device originally made for chatting. But no worries - with a few tips in hand, you can enhance your photo taking skills and improve their appearance then joyfully share them.
Right, your handset could handle various situations with ease, although it can't take every sight you run into. The little image sensor yearn for light, and does most excellent outdoors, in daylight. To get best results, practice the same recommendation that photographers have maintained for decades: Sunlight should be the prime source to your photography. Let the sun be behind you or above on of your shoulders. Shooting directly looking the sun only drastically underexpose your subject.
Leave the camera's automatic white balance control as it gives great results. However if the colors appear blurred, set the balance to accommodate the ambient light such as daylight, fluorescent or sunset. Remember to reset it to automatic once you are done so that your future photos don't appear weird.
Taking a good snap isn't merely about knowing the right settings, but composing your photos as the pros will ensure that they do not look just like any other photos: by dividing the screen into thirds and pretending there is a tic-tac toe board then placing the subject on one of the lines as opposed to the middle of the screen can make the photo appear professional. A tilted horizon will ruin a nice photo so be sure to keep the camera level and also ensure that nothing is 'cropping out' of the subject's head in the background.
Some android smartphones have shutters that delay after release so know if your model does that. Your android phone may have its shutter release on the touch screen and only when you lift your finger, and not when pressed down will the capture of the shot take place. Whichever way it happens, hold the phone steady and do not jab at the screen as the shake will make the photo blurry.
For enhancing your photos, there are apps for that sole purpose and also try and play around with the camera's adjustment settings to see what suites your taste. For now enjoy your close up, 'click click.'
