Slip Stopper: protector simple for iPhone 4/4S, with robust and do discreet?

Slip Stopper – Use a protective shell on a smartphone can now be considered a crime, the design of these devices has improved incredibly and hide the truth is that its design and how you really feel the team did not make much sense. However, the protections are necessary because they are expensive and unlike Nokia of old, these warriors are very delicate. The truth is there are many solutions, but I think that most caught my attention is now Slip Stopper.

Not a marketed product is Kickstarter and can donate if they like. It Slip Stopper basic function is obvious: to protect your iPhone 4/4S of simple and practical way, they say, discreet. This last point should be discussed with the product on hand because it seems so discreet material, although it is completely white or black, it becomes bright and voluptuous shows. Read on »

The iPhone 4S is not selling well in Europe, according to Reuters

iPhone 4S – A report published by Reuters moments ago is turning the web and it seems remarkable data set on the table. It focuses on iPhone 4S sales in continental Europe noting that the figures are not reaching the same levels as it does in other countries like UK, Australia or America.

The numbers speak for themselves, and have been revealed by research firm Kantar Worldpanel ComTech. Consider the countries where sales are going well, comparing its market share over the past three months (ending in November) with the fee had the iPhone in the same period in 2010.

    * U.S.: 25% of smartphone market share to 36% this year

    * UK: from 21% to 31%

Now compare those amounts with the figures they experience in other countries of the European Union:

    * Germany: The market share of Apple smartphone has fallen from 27% last year to 22% last quarter

    * France: from 29% to 20%

    * Spain and Italy show similar numbers but have not been specified

In this dynamic change is observed in the Android manufacturers, both Samsung and Motorola and others are attracting more customers by making their levels of market share reached 61% in Germany and exceed at least 46% in all other countries . What is the reason for this defeat Apple is experiencing trade in the old continent? Reuters highlights the economic situation in the euro area, which feeds especially in countries like Italy and Spain and to a lesser extent France and Germany.

It may be that this situation is affecting sales, especially when the Cupertino has a single model to offer, and expensive, compared to the dozens of alternatives that Android offers, sometimes at good prices. Also do not deny it, this pattern of sales will continue so, Android and iPhone will grow to fall in fee, it is one against 1000. Anyway, my point of view, this study ignores or does not deal with, some other causes of the low sales of Apple.

First and most important position, you are comparing different scenarios. Last year, the iPhone 4 was released to the world long before this year has made the iPhone 4S and that works against Apple. From June 2010 to October 2011 there is a world apart. Comparing three months ending in November 2011 with the overall levels of 2010, we find that the iPhone 4 had a very long journey in the last fiscal year, while the iPhone 4S is seeing the light and being known by the users now.

If you look at the attached graph you will notice that usually the sales and production numbers are down Apple well before launch, and take time to achieve a high rate after this. It is a logical behavior. Therefore we cannot pretend that the phone has got the block sold well in those months. United States and United Kingdom have noticed just because they are very prone regions Apple products but we should ask what would have happened if the iPhone 4S has been submitted in these two countries in June this year, the numbers would be staggering.

Also in September was a month with no benefit to Apple because the buzz around the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S was high and sales of the iPhone 4 is stopped. Kantar data probably do see the signature of the apple that the wait was too long and wrong, but do not know what was going on in there while we was Steve Jobs.

On the other hand, and secondly I think Apple is wrong to launch an iPhone 4S with Siri restricted to only some languages, leaving out the Italian and Spanish (Castilian), because in these countries there is great enthusiasm for the phone on the block but an English Siri does not attract attention when there is a huge database of owners of iPhone 4, why change if not?

In short, a more and like any other study that could be interpreted and manipulated at will. Less sales yes, but not two comparable stages. iPhone 4S

Peel PG92, the cases with two entrances SIM for iPhone 4

Vooma has presents a new case, one of a kind called Peel PG92. In the “collaboration” with a iPhone jailbroken, adds dual SIM functionality for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. A complete device but may be accompanied by controversy.

The same device contains a battery that can charge the phone. To take advantage of dual-SIM, simply download the application for the Vooma for iPhone (which must be jailbroken). At this point you can check your phone to make calls using a SIM card. In short: charge, allows the use of dual SIM and also protects your Apple smartphone.

The Peel PG92 seems to work perfectly. Among other things, also uses a ‘interface similar to Apple, even if the programmers have had to “cut a few corners” in order to obtain a correct layout. For example, the letters and numbers are slightly deformed than the standard version.

The Cupertino Company, as you know by now, does not leave anything to chance. In this case, he sees the marketing of a product that somehow promotes the distribution of the jailbreak (hack technique that allows IOS); Apple could decide to intervene legally. So, if you are interested in a Peel PG92, better be quick!

Review: Blackberry Torch with only touchscreen no recommend

The Blackberry Torch 9860 is not equipped with the familiar keyboard, but only a touch screen. Thus the device to compete with iPhone, HTC devices and Galaxy phones and there is not good enough for the Torch.

Blackberry has previously attempted to conquer the world with only a touch screen smartphones have. Was there a few years ago, the Blackberry Storm; were then introduced into the retractable touchscreen Blackberry Torch, which is still a physical keyboard.

The new Bold is now also equipped with a touchscreen and keyboard, but the Blackberry Torch 9860 has no physical keyboard anymore. Everything goes through the touch screen. And that’s quite a big step.

Especially now that the market is already very busy with smartphones like the iPhone, Samsung Galaxy phones, and the latest smartphones from HTC and LG. As for price targets Research In Motion (RIM) is the Blackberry Torch 9850 on these machines.

The comparison, however, quickly picks up negative. The unit is sturdy, works well and the keyboard is not against a touch screen, but it cannot compete with the high-end devices from competitors.

In many areas, beating the other touchscreen phones, the Blackberry Torch 9860; some are thinner, have (much) more applications are designed better, cost less and have a better screen.

The keys on the Blackberry Torch 9860 consciously farther apart so that less mistakes is made. In practice, the virtual keyboard works fine whatsoever. Apart from the larger screen and the absence of the keyboard, the device is otherwise the same as the other new smartphones Blackberry.

The Blackberry Torch runs on the new BlackBerry OS 7, has the same 1.2 GHz Qualcomm processor and features the same familiar services such as Blackberry Messenger; as already concluded in the review of the new BlackBerry Bold: the system is improved and the internet is faster.

The strength of the Blackberry Bold 9900 was the appearance and the new screen that also sensitive to touch.

The appearance of the Blackberry Torch 9860 is weak. Thus, the smartphone is very thick compared to competitors. The Torch measures 11.5 millimeters. This makes the device much thicker than the iPhone 4 and Galaxy S II and almost as thick as the LG Optimus 3D which is extra thick because of the 3D features.

Also regarding the feeling the Blackberry Torch not matches the new Blackberry Bold. The device is mostly made of plastic and although many Samsung devices are not directly provides a cheap feel; this is the Blackberry Torch 9860 or so.

There remains one objection to the Blackberry Smartphone that a limited number of applications available. Especially in relation to the big screen games are especially very welcome. Games on the Android platform and IOS are well represented.

All in all, include the performance of the device against. The appearance and competitiveness concerns, however, that the Blackberry Torch 9850 behind.

iPhone 4S has new case requires

The control buttons on the iPhone 4S are slightly different position than its predecessor. Existing protective sleeves so may not fit on Apple latest smartphone.

This enables the website Android Sale. Although so far assumed that the iPhone 4S almost exclusively from within has changed on the outside with only one extra notch on the antenna, there are according to the seller of Android devices and accessories really made ​​other cosmetic changes. Read on »

So we just imagine iPhone 5?

Reached by the end of the day, do not you feel it? Is electricity in the air, prior expectation, now, dear readers is a day of keynote AppleWeblog. So, a few hours after Tim Cook (with a possible surprise of Steve Jobs) takes the stage to catch all the news relating to the iPhone 5 and hopefully a ‘One More Thing’ we have a small collection of everything we hope to bring us this update of the Apple model.

By asking those who use and love the iPhone always tend to ask more than necessary, so much we even get to be realistic and think of a phone line with the strategy that Apple has always followed with the times. What most strikes me are that since more than a year since launching the iPhone 4 is the first time the company breaks the cycle of updating a year and that can have major consequences. Personally, I think, speculative theories aside, this cycle has been broken for the simple reason that the iPhone 4 has a phone with a spectacular success why renew something that works perfectly?

When the iPhone 4S confirmed by Vodafone, but iPhone 5 was not there?

Apple Keynote on Tuesday is a fact, as is to introduce a new mobile device, much has been speculated over this past week, much is also rumored to be made public even before the call on whether Apple would be true to their “story” and launch a slightly improved version of its current iPhone, or throw the house out the window announcing the big update (iPhone 5) The former seems to have been confirmed by Vodafone in Germany listings, which have listed a new “iPhone 4S” with capacities between 16 and 64GB.

Normally, if a website or online store publishes the upcoming availability of an unannounced product, we take it with a grain salt, and wait for it to confirm the news but do not talk about any store, if not the Vodafone herself, which is not exactly known for false advertising products. Credibility in this case is maximum, which we can informally confirmed by the appearance of a iPhone 4S certainly will be announced tomorrow, under the leadership of Tim Cook. Read on »

New iPhone 4 photos filtering of Foxconn Brazil?

Yesterday I commented on the possible accidental confirmation of a iPhone 4S beta iTunes for developers. Closely related to this web site days ago Gizmodo leaked a series of pictures of iPhone 4 “N90A”, allowing thinking about releasing an iPhone alternative, more economical.

Titled “Looks Like There Will Be a Cheaper iPhone 4, Made in Brazil”, something like “seems to be a cheaper iPhone 4 made ​​in Brazil”, the story reveals a number of photographs have been taken at the Foxconn plant in Brazil, showing the new Apple iPhone, which will likely be presented next week.

As you can see, the parts shown in the photos offer no distinctive features that differ from those of the current iPhone 4. However, as mentioned in the news, one of which displays a form of quality control Foxconn with an interesting detail: the number of model N90A. For those who do not remember, the numbering N90 corresponds to the iPhone 4, then the code N90A allow us to think of an update to this device, i.e. a new iPhone 4 could be a reality very soon.
