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.
Summary: Microsoft will deliver mobile versions of its Dynamics CRM app and service for iPad, iPhone, Android phone, BlackBerry and Windows Phone 7 in the second quarter of 2012.
Some time between April and May of this year, Microsoft will roll out Dynamics CRM mobile clients and service simultaneously for the iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone 7 and BlackBerry devices.
The coming mobile components — something some Windows Phone users have been asking about for years — will be part of the Dynamics CRM Q2 2012 service update, Microsoft officials said on February 6. (February 6 is the day when Microsoft is releasing its preview guide for its next update, which Microsoft has committed to provide 60 to 90 days before a new update is available to on-premises and online users.)
All of the new mobile CRM releases will be ready at the same time and downloadable from their respective marketplaces on the same day, said Craig Dewar, Director of Product Management for Dynamics CRM.
Here’s a Microsoft-supplied screen shot of what the Dynamics CRM app on the iPad will look like:
In addition to adding mobile support to its platform, Microsoft also is stepping up its cross-browser support for Dynamics CRM users. With the Q2 update, users will have a choice of Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Safari running on PCs, Macs and iPads. Here’s a chart showing which versions will be supported on which platforms:
Users of the on-premises version of the Q2 update also will have access to new Microsoft Excel Workbooks with pre-defined PowerPivot models and Power View Report templates to help them perform quick analyses in areas like product sales, customer demographics and sales pipelines. (Power View, a k a “Project Crescent,” is a new self-service business-intelligence feature in SQL Server 2012, which is due to launch on March 7.) Microsoft plans to add support for these enterprise capbilities to Dynamics CRM, too, at some point in the future, officials said.
The Dynamics CRM unit isn’t the only Microsoft division that is upping its cross-platform support.
Microsoft already offers OneNote for the iPhone and iPad; a SkyDrive cloud-storage app for iPhone; a Lync client for Android; a Lync client for iPhone and Hotmail for Android. Company officials said late last year to expect even more mobile cross-platform app support from Microsoft in 2012, especially on Android devices.
Recently Temple Run has become the top grossing game for the iPhone 4S. The title is a free game although users have the option to purchase additional coins which can be exchanged for power ups and character boosts. The principle of Temple Run is quite simple, guide your explorer character through a series of paths and collect coins along the way while trying to travel as far as you possibly can. There are obviously obstacles in your way which you will need to swerve, jump and slide under to avoid.
Keep in touch with the HTC Explorer using the People widget that comes as part of the Sense user experience implemented through the power of the Android operating system respectively. The lightweight and compact handset which features a full touch display measuring 3.2 inches offers many features such as this widget for social networking and communicating with friends.
One area where the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has encountered some problems is when sending an MMS message. Many users have experienced problems when they attach a photograph to a message and this content is never sent to the intended recipient. Many users have got around the problem by downloading a separate application to perform this task but sending the data with the built in application is a much faster and more simple affair. This new update cured this issue and from reports that we have heard nobody has encountered any further problems in this area.
If you compare the HTC Radar to its cousin the HTC Titan, this handset is smaller and easy on the pocket. It is such a looker and with a solidly built body.
The Motorola Atrix 4G MB865 Smartphone is perhaps one of the most advanced and surprising smartphones available of Motorola. It is and stands to reason that Motorola would offer advanced cell and smartphone devices. However, one would be surprised to find that the same device will act as a WiFi "hotspot" for up to five other devices.
When the iPhone 4S was launched in 2011 it boasted a brand new version of the famous iOS operating system. It is widely predicted that the new iPhone 5 will be accompanied by another new version that will offer many improvements to the consumer. It is expected that iOS6 will incorporate a new data control interface named Persistent Overlay.
If you want a smartphone that boasts premium design and one that runs on Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, then the HTC Radar is for you. Yes, this is one of HTC's premium handsets that run on the latest Windows Phone 7.5 Mango OS.
A new report reveals that first time smartphone buyers are favouring the Android platform over other formats such as iOS and Windows. According to market research firm NPD Android devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S2 dominated the market among first time buyers in Q4 of 2011 with a massive 53% share. Apple followed in second place with 34% which left the remaining 9% to be shared between alternative platforms.
At present iPhone 4S users in the UK can enjoy mobile data transfer speeds of 21Mbps which enables users to experience a satisfactory web browsing experience when they are on the move. This transfer speed is ample for uploading media to social networking sites and also for general web browsing. This speed however can be improved and the new HSPA+ service will double the current data transfer speed to 42Mbps to give users an even faster online experience.
So you are ready to make that transition. You want to start using an Android smartphone that is easy to operate and something that will fit your budget. You have heard a lot about HTC's Android smartphone the HTC Explorer.
The release of Apple's refreshed iPhone disappointed a lot of Apple's fan base. It's not because it is not that good, but people were expecting Apple to release the iPhone 5.
Android devices capable of 4G network speeds have been out for awhile now and just about every new phone released is 4G-compatible. Just because stable 4G cellular networks are relatively new doesn't mean you need the latest hardware to get the most out of the experience. HTC's Sensation 4G for T-Mobile proves that it makes more sense to do things right the first time rather than stumble your way to success.
The Nokia N8 GSM Smartphone offers quite it a bit in a very neat package at 7.7 inches by 7.3 inches by 1.4 inches thick, yet weighing only 4.76 ounces. Into this modestly sized package Nokia has not only managed to squeeze a smartphone, but also a high-resolution 12MP camera with 3X zoom, as well as a front-facing VGA-compatible (640 x 480 resolution) lens for videoconferencing.
If you are looking to use your Samsung Galaxy S2 as part of a more structured fitness regime there are some excellent applications available for users of all fitness levels. The excellent C25K application aims to take a beginner and have them comfortably running 5km within nine weeks. The software schedules a number of runs over the nine week period that increase in intensity each week.
Obviously all of the tasks that Smart Tags perform on the Sony Xperia S can be done manually by the user but there is no doubt that they do make using the phone a much easier and less time consuming affair. It is widely expected that we see a release date in the second quarter of 2012 for these useful new innovations. In terms of retail price we should expect a price of around £25 for a set of four tokens.
A number of picture effects can be added to your photographs taken on the Motorola Razr to make them look even more eye catching. These effects are basically a variety of filters that are applied to your shot to give them a very vintage or retro appearance. Several of these are available on the application but there are also some additional options available to purchase if you desire.
These days, device manufacturers are launching handsets that sport specifications we thought never possible. It all started with the LG Optimus 2X. It was the first to come packed with a 1 GHz dual-core processor.
The Blackberry Bold 9900 is one of the latest handsets to come out of the Canadian phone manufacturer Research In Motion (RIM). Is it worth your money? What should you expect from this handset?
The refreshed iPhone, the iPhone 4S is one of the top-selling smartphones in the market since its release last year. A lot of people are talking about the amazing new features that this phone is shipped with.
Back in November 2011, HTC introduced the second Sensation with Beats; this is the HTC Sensation XL. This very same model made both music lovers and geeks fall in love with a pocket-friendly Android music phone.
The HTC Sensation XL originally came with Android 2.3 or better known as the Gingerbread. It came packed with 1.5 GHz processor, HTC Sense UI 3.5, Beats Audio and Headset, 4.7" S-LCD capacitive touch screen, and more. Now the big question is will it get the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)?
If you are looking for a music handset and you cannot afford buying a fancy iPhone handset, then the HTC Sensation XE is for you. Yes, this is your next best bet in owning a spectacular music handset without paying more. With this phone, you will get a fast processor and the famous Beats by Dr. Dre.
We all look forward to having something that will blow our minds. It doesn't matter whether we are looking for a brand new car, jewelry, or an electronic gadget.
We all can't afford buying high-end smartphones in the likes of iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S2. We all want them, but in reality we can only get what our budgets would allow us.
The HTC Sensation is well known for its versatility. In this article I will look at how you can use it to make free video calls using the popular Skype app which is available for download in the Android Market.
As the most powerful device in the manufacturer's current line-up, the Samsung Galaxy Note has the specifications to appeal to many types of user. In this article I will look at the benefits it can bring to multimedia enthusiasts by focussing on some of its key features.
If you own a smartphone, the chances are that you also have an account with Facebook, the most popular social networking site in the world, and also the most visited, even beating goliaths like Google. The Android operating system is increasing in popularity, and to capitalise on this, there is an Android optimised Facebook app available from the Android Market, which can be downloaded to phones like the HTC Sensation. In this article I will look at how to use the main features of this app.
There are several models that customers can choose from to be in with a chance of winning the tickets. If you are looking for good specification but at a wallet friendly price then the Samsung Galaxy R is a great option. This phone incorporates a 4.2 inch LCD display and offers some excellent multi media features including the ability to capture high definition video footage at a resolution of 720P.
Touch screens are being installed on so many devices these days. From touch screen computers to touch screen mobile devices. Today I'll be writing about a touch screen device from Sprint. They are the only company that will be able to provide you with the HTC EVO phone. This company was amongst the pioneer providers of wireless service and one of the first to become a 4g network. Probably this is the reason why HTC EVO is so famous.
If you will want to find some really cool applications for the 4g EVO mobile phone then you should look into the AppBrain Market application. This application is specifically created for such cellular phones and it will help you find all sorts of cool applications as long as your phone uses the Android operating system.
If you will want to find the greatest application for the EVO mobile phone you will have to do a little digging. But if you will use the AppBrain App Market you will make this effort a lot more manageable. If you will want to use this application then you will only have to one simple thing and that is to log onto your Google account. This application finder uses Google because everyone has a Google account and if you don't then you shouldn't worry because it is very fast and easy to create one.
When you will log onto your Google account you will be asked to create an AppBrain nickname and then to download and install this application onto your cell phone. You will then need to visit appbrain.com and see the whole collection of applications they have there and if you like one just install it. You can select more applications with the "Sync with AppBrain" action and then a bigger number of applications will be shown on your cell phone and you can install them one by one. AppBrain is a great application for the EVO just because it can be handled with such ease. You won't find any other such application for a cell phone ever.
The Apple computers' iPhone is a device which created a lot of hype prior to its launch. All those who claimed to be Gadget geeks became a nerd with the iPhone enthusiasm. The launch was not a grand affair, as it was offered only to a small number of countries, and a very high price tag for entry into the market with limited capabilities. These kept many prospective buyers wait to get a first hand feel of the product. The first iPhone failed to make an impression in the market and had many disappointed users. But with iPhone 3G, Apple aims to get a hold in the market as it provides functions like 3rd party application support, and application store. This makes the iPhone a computing arena. What's stunning about the iPhone 3G is its compatibility to 3G networks at a price of $200. Let's take a look at the features in detail.
The hardware is very similar to the original iPhone. The iPhone looks very similar to the iPod touch, the only difference being that you can make and receive calls on an iPhone. The display is brighter with a resolution of 480*320 and 3.5 inches. As compared with the original iPhone, the aluminum chic matte at the back has been replaced with plastic. This was expected, as the iPhone has to receive so many signals (GSM, WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth etc). The battery life claimed by Apple is 10 hours on GSM talk, 5 Hours on 3G talk, 5 hours on Data transfer, 6 hours of WiFi usage, 24 Hours music and 7 Hours on video. If you are wondering that you will use your iPhone to read emails and listen to songs at the same time while commuting from home to work and then using the phone in the day time, it is likely that you'll have no power left in the phone on the way back home.
It is delightful to use the iPhone mainly because of the software. The touch screen with an optimized mobile processor enhances the whole feeling of using a mobile phone as a computer. The most recent addition to the iPhone is App Store. The developers at Apple keep coming out with new programs which users can download and use it on their iPhone. There are several free and paid programs available, and to download them you will need to use your iTunes account. Apple also sends notifications as and when updates are available. The iPhone can read PowerPoint and other documents, but you cannot edit them.
We love the Apple iPhone for its new burner: 3G compatibility, GPS and did we mention downloadable applications through iTunes account, upgraded and user friendly OS, etc. But what still lacks in the iPhone are features like cut, copy paste, voice dialing. These need to be incorporated. The camera still needs improvisation. You have to browse many features to switch from 3G to GSM when the coverage is poor. To summarize the review here are a few pointers
Good ones
• High speed 3G networks
• Third party applications
• Expanded email
• Improved call quality
• Excellent music and video experience
Bad ones
• Basic features are still missing
• Uneven battery life
• Syncing of email gets faulty many a time
• Voice dialing feature is missing
• Choosing between GSM and 3G coverage is not easy.

T Mobile G1 is supposedly the first mobile phone using Google's Android platform. Yes, everyone is crazy about the phone, want to get the phone so badly and when they got the phone, some of them were quite disappointed.
However, soon the G1 is no longer the one and only T Mobile Google Android phone. It has been confirmed that T Mobile is coming up with myTouch 3G. Previously, there has been speculation about the name. Some of them said it was known as Magic, Sapphire and even G2. Now that you know, the real name is myTouch 3G. Yes, no Magic, no Sapphire and definitely no G2.
What is so special about it anyway? A brand new 5.0MP camera is going to beat HTC Magic's 3.2MP camera for sure. What else? As far as it concerns, there isn't much details about the phone yet but the phone will be available in white, black and a new colour known as merlot, which is actually dark red. Look out for the wild card colour. You will love it.
Powered by the Android Cupcake, hopefully something nice is about to happen with this brand new mobile phone. Apart from this, it is also said that there would be more RAM for myTouch 3G, up to 192MB. Therefore, it should work faster and easier to handle.
It is expected to be released in summer but then again, summer could have a different meaning here. Should we be excited over this new android phone? Well, it could be much better than the existing one. However, since we have no idea what other addition features it has, it is really difficult to predict how it would perform in the market.
Powered by the Android Cupcake, hopefully something nice is about to happen with this brand new mobile phone.

Without question, Apple is a technology icon, which is very well known for their cutting edge products that always amaze the consumer. Their first product was the Macintosh computer, which was so ground-breaking because it allowed almost anybody to start using a computer for the first time shortly after they acquired it. One of their most recent creations was the iPhone that quickly become a huge seller all over the world.
The iPhone become such a desired product because it enabled the consumer to do so many more sophisticated functions on it, when compared to a normal cell phone. Some of these were checking your email, suffering the web, or making use of the many applications that have been specially built for it.
When it was first introduced, there were other smart phones on the market, but they did not allow the end user to complete nearly as many tasks as the iPhone did. Because of this, along with Apples marketing and reputation, the iPhone was able to take a huge share of the market away from the previous industry leaders like Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung.
In fact, the iPhone has hurt Nokia so bad in this segment of the market, that the company has lost billions of dollars because of it. Nokia is still the largest seller of cell phones in the world today, but the majority of the phones that they sell are at the lower end of the market where the margins are quite small.
Each and every company that competes in this industry knows that the only way to be successful is to grad a large share of the smart phone market. This industry is growing so fast that companies like Google are now entering it with their Android operating system that they are giving away for free to smart phone manufactures. This search engine is doing this with the hope that the people who buy a smart phone with it on it, will use their search engine, as opposed to a competitors.
Nokia's sales were hurt so bad by the iPhone that they have stopped producing smart phones that used their operating system, and have instead switched to one that they are obtaining from Microsoft. It is too early to tell if their change is going to be able to help their sales or not. But, it is easy to see that they are desperate and are willing to try anything that they can to do in attempt to compete with the iPhone.
Another reason that the iPhone is so popular, is that there are so many Apple accessories that are very easy to obtain for it. Some of these include cheap iPhone 4 Cases, battery chargers, headphones, and pretty much any and every thing that you could possibly imagine.
The iPhone is certainly the industry leader in the smart phone market at this time. However, that does not mean that the competition has just rolled over and quit. Only time will tell if Apple will be able to maintain their huge market share in the future.
iPhones are very popular now days for mobile phones that's why you can make use of Cheap iPhone 4 Cases. We also have Apple Accessories for other Apple products.
The word addiction simply means the thing you can't live without. It can be a hobby, eatable, game or anything that makes you die if you don't do it. It's something like drug addiction that he who does drugs does it daily! No matter from where he has to manage drugs from he does it because he can't live without it.
Before we start discussing which of the two phones, BlackBerry or iPhone is more addicted first we shall have an overview of both of these phones.
BlackBerry:
Looking at the bright side, for years BlackBerry has proved to be one of the successful smart phones of the world. The phone's users are majority business men who prefer to keep a BlackBerry because BlackBerry is an elegant elite class phone and this adds a lot of worth to their personality and business as well. There are so many models of BlackBerry available these days from which the latest are BlackBerry Storm and Black Berry storm 2. Both of these models have made a massive sale of 50 million to 20 million customers as a whole. This means that there are a lot of berries and a lot of people around e-mailing and having fun with them.
The dark side of the BlackBerry also known as Berry in simple is that it is quite complicated. Though it has earned the fame of smart phone and has proved to be one of the best smart phone but still it is difficult to use for a beginner specially children and students.
iPhone:
iPhone is a new generation touch screen simple smart phone that has caught the eyes of millions of people around the world in as low as 3 years of time. This phone is designed by Apple, a world's leading company in the era of technology. The main idea behind the phone was to saturate a touch iPod into a mobile phone and Apple seems to have done it very well so far. With only three basic models in the world iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 4G this smart phone has broken all the previous sales records.
The advantage of iPhone over BlackBerry is that iPhone is touch enabled and is quite easy to use as compared to a BlackBerry. Even a child and a college student can use this awesome phone anywhere and at any time.
Now after a quick review of both of these phones, you can yourself decide that which of these two phones is the most dangerous to cause you addiction. Obviously it's the iPhone because the phone is so simple and has almost everything in it that no one can ever resist it even your small child want to have one. The most enchanting thing in this device is its big touch screen that gives the real pleasure of the phone. I've seen users of iPhone so addicted to it that one day my friend was playing game on it and her girlfriend called him. But he refused to listen to her because he was having more fun with his iPhone! Another story of addiction is that whenever my mom call me for dinner I say "Mom I'm not feeling hungry because I've to finish this game on my new iPhone!". iPhone accessories along with iPhone itself is very popular among the iPhone addicts.
The degree of addiction that can be caused to you by iPhone is so dangerous that it changes your whole life. Like everything has some advantages and some disadvantages, iPhone also has the same case. The phone will help you a lot if you use it in a proper way but it can also affect your life if not used properly.
Advantages:
Add more style to your personality
Everybody want to be with you because your iPhone adds to all of your respect
You can easily attract many people of opposite sex
If you give your iPhone to a girl to give her number there isn't any chance that she refuses it
It helps you in your daily life in certain different ways
Disadvantages:
You become so addicted to the phone that you use it everywhere even while eating and in restroom
Your parents and wife scolds you because you always remain busy with the phone
It may also affect your health because it reduces your outdoor activities to a minimum level
Studies of students may get affected if they become addicted to the phone.
