Apple iPad supply catching up to demand

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple on Monday promised that US orders for its iPad tablet computers would ship within 24 hours, in a sign that supply in the hot-selling devices was catching up to demand.

The on the internet Apple Store indicated that any from the six iPad models would be shipped, free of charge of charge, within 24 hours of an order being placed.

People have snapped up millions of iPads since the gadgets launched from the United States and wait times for the devices at times stretched into weeks.

The shortened wait has prompted debate over whether Apple's beefed-up production was paying off or if demand for iPads was waning.

Apple could provide some perspective on iPad sales during a special event to take place in San Francisco on Wednesday, but the California company's iPod line is expected to be the primary focus with the gathering.

The iPad went on sale in the United States on April 3 and Apple sold a lot more than three million in 80 days.

The iPad enables users to watch video, listen to music, play games, surf the Web or read electronic books. The cheapest iPad costs 499 dollars (US) although the top model is priced at 829 dollars.

Apple has released the iPad in much more than a dozen countries, and China Unicom is expected to start promoting Apple's iPad within the world's largest Net marketplace in mid to late-September.

Preserving Your Apple Product Battery

Buying and depending on an electronic device signifies depending on its battery. For Apple items, that battery is most likely a Lithium Ion Battery or Li-Ion.

Why the Li-Ion? It's said additional strength is packed into these nickel-based batteries than most. This means much more power without sacrificing size and weight.

The living of the battery will depend on how you use it. If you are watching DVD’s in your notebook, the battery is going to be sucked a lot more rapidly than if you might be basically making use of a word processing program. This is obvious. But you will find a few other tricks to preserving battery life within your Apple solutions as effectively. They consist of:

Notebook – With your notebook, one particular in the primary things you'll be able to do to preserve your battery lifestyle would be to maintain it in a moderate temperature zone. This means not leaving it locked in your hot vehicle inside the summer or cold auto within the winter. Your notebook and it’s battery must work very best within temperatures of 50 degrees to 95 degrees. When you first purchase your notebook, be certain to give it a full charge proper away. With lithium-based batteries, it truly is also critical to keep the electrons in it moving, this means not leaving your laptop plugged in all from the time. The perfect use of your Apple notebook is usually to combine use of it on the battery and plugged in, throughout the day. Apple also recommends charging and discharging its battery at the very least once per month. If you are not using your notebook for additional than six months, Apple recommends that you store the notebook using the battery at a 50% charge. Fully discharging a battery prior to storing it could make it incapable of holding any charge. Storing it complete could produce loss of battery capacity as perfectly. Last, make certain your notebook’s settings are in an optimal place. For instance, change on your energy saving alternative, dim your screen to the lowest feasible comfort level, turn off AirPort Wireless in case you aren’t employing it as well as Bluetooth, and disconnect peripherals and quit applications when not in use.

iPod – Caring for your iPod battery is similar to taking care of your respective laptop battery – maintaining your gadget out on the sun and within temperatures between 32 degrees and 95 is ideal. Apple suggests you really should generally update your latest software as engineers may come across new approaches to optimize battery performance. Use your iPod often to keep the electrons moving inside the battery. A person requirements to be sure and go through at the very least one charge cycle per month. Once you aren’t making use of your iPod, set the Hold switch. This will prevent your iPod controls from waking up and applying unnecessary electrical power. It is possible to also optimize your settings in your iPod. In case you don’t use characteristics just like Wi-Fi, Backlight, and Equalizer -your battery will last longer. Reduce the use of third-party applications, fetch information less frequently, and turn off push notifications. Limiting your fast-forwarding saves power as nicely as the iPod won’t need to fill its cache, which means it has to access your difficult drive a lot more often and use a lot more power. Creating playlists is more preferable. Applying compressed songs helps as well.

iPhone – Again, like the above devices, maintaining your iPhone out on the car where it is exposed to really high or low temperatures will assist preserve its battery. Optimize your phone’s settings and watch how much you use the characteristics of one's phone. Each time you retrieve email, for instance, it affects your battery life. It is possible to also change off push notifications, fetch information much less regularly, turn away push mail, lessen use of third party applications, turn off Wi-Fi, change off Bluetooth, use Airplane mode, adjust brightness to dimmest setting, and turn off 3G. You will also need to lock your iPhone making use of Auto-Lock when not making use of it, this will turn it away far more easily after a period of inactivity. As with the other devices, you also would like to use the phone routinely and go through at least a person charge cycle per month.

By practicing these uncomplicated rules, you can make your Apple electronic device last longer with its Lithium Ion Battery.

TUAW Tips: 25 ways to check the hardware on your iPhone 4

I received my second replacement iPhone 4 yesterday. Given the problems had both my first iPhone 4 units, I wanted to make absolutely sure, in as little time as possible that have this replacement nothing wrong with it. Before I even took it up from the shop, I began compiling a list of things I needed to test and how I would do it.

What I came out, is a series of hardware checks that any legal after taking an iPhone 4 out of the box and sync it to perform for the first time. This is by no means the only way to test an iPhone 4's hardware failure and there are probably more comprehensive methods, but the following procedure is basic enough for most users to follow. Plus, it should not catch any glaring hardware defects in a 4 iPhone immediately. Click "More" to read the checklist.

What do you check before you synchronize with iTunes for the first time:

Jacket: Check for cracks in the glass, visible gaps, and loose connections. The phone should be strong, without "to" anywhere - a properly constructed iPhone 4 is pretty much a solid glass / steel plate. In particular, the front and rear glass to the stainless steel-band antenna flush. All gaps are not only allow dust into the iPhone, but also act as a pivot point, reducing the structural integrity of the glass and to break it more like an accidental drop. Such gaps are both incredibly rare (I'm probably the only guy "Lucky" enough to be hit with this problem twice) and very difficult to recognize. Hold the iPhone in landscape mode with a strong light source in the background. As long as you do not see anything like this, you're good to go:

Small hole, big problem

Home / Sleep keys: Another article you can test before syncing the iPhone, you should perform their intended function of these keys immediately and should not be excessively loose or too sticky. A tiny wobble or a little "clickiness" in the two keys is nothing to fear but if your sleep is key to clatter into the housing needs Herculean task or pressure so that it works, it is a problem.

Vibration alarm switch / motor: Flick the switch to the iPhone brought into vibration. The button should glide smoothly, and you should immediately feel the phone vibrate motor kick in, the successful activation.

Leave during the first sync with iTunes to check:

Dock connector: If there is something wrong with the dock connector, you will know immediately, either your iPhone will not sync with the computer, or it will not charge.

Flash memory: It's not very often, but when the iPhone damaged in the flash memory chips, this could show up as errors sync in iTunes. Poor synchronization is not enough to the problem on the iPhone itself - iTunes PIN is a tricky beast at the best of times - but if you do not get to sync to the iPhone successfully, despite numerous attempts and some basic iTunes troubleshooting are, can bad flash his memory in the iPhone the culprit. The easiest way, the memory test is to use it, fill your iPhone with as much media as you can during the first synchronization. If you have an iPhone 32 GB 4, now have a good time to go do something else for an hour or two, because a lot of data sync, that takes a while.

What one review after syncing with iTunes:

Volume keys: it is immediately obvious if this will not work. Note that a little play from side to side "in these keys is normal and not fret about.

Headphone Jack: Plug the headphones came with the iPhone. It should not wobble in the bush at all. You should hear both sound headphone while playing media, and if you do not plug in another set of headphones to make sure it is not a problem rather than a headphone jack problem. Test the headphone control also, play / pause, track forward / back, VoiceOver, and volume up / down, all function normally. VoiceOver should be able to pick up your voice from the headset microphone.

Camera: Verify that the shutter opens and closes on the front and rear-facing cameras, by still photos with the two. Test the iPhone's "Tap to focus" function with the objective of the camera on a scene with significant differences in the distance / brightness - a bright window in the background of a dark room, for example - and make sure the camera will focus / brightness according to where you tap the screen. Check the photos for obvious problems such as discoloration, pixellation, banding, etc. - do not you go to a museum-quality images from the iPhone 4 of the 5-megapixel sensor to get, but the photos must be free of glaring, obvious flaws. Test that the LED flash when taking photos by the upper-left corner of the screen that reads to the flash-mode "on." Now test both cameras again by video with them. Video from both cameras should be free from stuttering, and of course you should be able to hear sound when you play the video.

Accelerometer, you can test the function of the accelerometers in the same time as the camera, on-screen controls should change position as you tilt the iPhone from portrait to landscape. Next you open any application, text input, enter a few characters accepted, and then shake the iPhone, a pop-up dialog should immediately asked if you Undo command to cancel or.

Antennas:

3G: If you are in an area with 3G service, it should pick up a signal the iPhone without requiring you to do something. Test your data with some basic browsing in Safari, speeds, depending on how good your signal / network is different, but if you have a 3G connection, you should not to several minutes to load even complex pages, wait. Try to test the temptation to avoid the "Death Grip" phenomenon, not only these vary from network to network, cell-cell site to site, I found it varies from phone to phone. My first iPhone 4, purchased just over two weeks, definitely exhibited signal loss in "Death Grip" mode, but my new iPhone does not drop signal to all four, no matter how I hold it.

EDGE / GPRS: Even if you have a 3G signal, it is an easy way to test whether you can also pick up signals at a slower EDGE / GPRS connection when necessary. Go to Settings> General> Network and set Enable 3G to Off. Your iPhone must fall back to EDGE / GPRS in seconds. Test your data again by example in Safari, but be aware that the connection speed is almost unbearable in EDGE and GPRS, but useless.

GPS: Open the map app and tap the arrow icon in the lower left corner. Unless you are within a structure with thick walls or ceilings, should be a blue dot appears, or relatively close to your current position almost immediately. The iPhone 4 GPS antenna is also accurate and efficient than the iPhone in earlier - my iPhone 3G was rarely able to find me at all when I was outside - so you should show your position in Maps is quite fast in most cases. If not try again, outside with a clear view of the sky when you get your iPhone's GPS is still not, an update on your site, it may be defective.

Bluetooth: I do not have a Bluetooth headset, as I was tested by pairing Bluetooth with my Mac for internet tethering. It took me many tries to get my iPhone 4 successfully pair with my Mac, but I was finally able to him to do this procedure:

1st On the iPhone, select Internet Tethering by> Settings> General> Network> Internet Tethering On. You will be asked if you want to enable Bluetooth; do. (You can also Bluetooth by going to Settings> General> Bluetooth>, but there's not much you can with a Mac-iPhone Bluetooth pairing other than Internet Tethering, you might as well save yourself the extra step to . do)

2nd Open System Preferences on your Mac and open the System Preferences Bluetooth. Turn your Mac's Bluetooth on, and click the check box next to "recognizable" as your iPhone, you can find your Mac. Click + to be a new Bluetooth device and Bluetooth Wizard opens.

3rd Once Bluetooth Wizard opens, you should show your iPhone in the list of devices immediately. If it does not work this is your first indication there might be something wrong with your iPhone Bluetooth. If the iPhone does not appear, click it and wait, Bluetooth wizard to generate a password.

4th Here is the part where I got tripped is. Once Bluetooth wizard generates a password for your iPhone, not only do you have that pass code to accept on the iPhone, after accepting the pass code, click the pairing must immediately click on "Next" in the Bluetooth Setup Assistant on your Mac otherwise it will fail. There is nothing in the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, you do what is very irritating - I spent about 15 minutes cursing at my Mac, until I told the out.

5th Fortunately, once your iPhone successfully pairs with your Mac over Bluetooth, you should not always have to do it again. Click here for the use of the iPhone's Internet Tethering via Bluetooth, the Bluetooth icon on your Mac's menu bar, select your iPhone, then select "Connect to the network."

Wi-Fi: Fortunately, testing the iPhone's Wi-Fi a lot easier than Bluetooth. activated In fact, with the iPhone, the default options, you will be prompted to connect to a nearby wireless networks are. If the iPhone discovered a nearby network of its own, this is a good sign when a connection to a network is successful, after you say it, the wireless antenna is working properly.

Touch screen: There are two quick ways to ensure that there are no dead pixels on your iPhone the touch screen. First, open any program, the text (Notepad, Safari, etc.) and type accepted "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" on the iPhone keyboard with your iPhone typing in all three orientations: Portrait, Landscape with the Home button on the left side, and the landscape with the Home button on the right. This is a good test, to ensure the touch screen registers taps along most of its surface. To test swiping, open the photo app, select any photo, zoom it, and run your finger over the whole screen, the photo should be to seamlessly with the movement of the fingers.

LCD: Considering how close is the pixel-4's iPhone retinal display, it is questionable whether a visible or two dead pixels at all would. You can test for dead pixels anyway with the free flashlight app that allows you many different solid and patterned colors are displayed on the screen. What do the LED-backlit, it is obvious when it does not work at all, but you can further test by going into Settings> Brightness and drag the slider from one end of the scale to another.

Ambient Light Sensor: The easiest way to check this is by sitting in a darkened room and turn it up and down> in the settings of brightness. In a dark room and to the default brightness settings, the display should auto-brightness light off, then darken slightly with auto-brightness.

CPU / GPU: Playing any graphically intensive 3D game will be the iPhone 4 CPU and GPU a decent workout, especially if the app for the retina display optimized. The iPhone 4 processor and graphics hardware are surprisingly robust for a device of its size, so you should not see much graphical economic downturn in any game App Store fire. Garbled or distorted image points to a bug in the GPU, while mean excessive heating or general low performance could a faulty CPU. Playing a H.264 hi-res movie in the iPod app is a good check, too - videos should play smoothly without stuttering or obvious artifacts such as blocks, lines, pixellation or distortion.

Magnetometer: Open the Compass app and tap the button in the lower right corner. iPhone should be able to switch seamlessly between true north and magnetic north. If your iPhone is not able to do a signal even after numerous "figure 8" movement in order to obtain clear interference, the magnetometer can be faulty.

Tops: The iPhone is not by any standard 4-Apps that come the benefits of the roundabout. Fortunately, there is a free app called gyroscope in App Store iPhone 4 that the capacity, its orientation in 3D space demonstrates seen. Once you download and open, this would app, it immediately obvious if your iPhone's four gyroscope is incorrect because one or more of the values for pitch, roll, yaw or will not change when you move the device.

What to test during a call:

Microphone: Test the microphone in normal and hands-free mode. The person on the other phone should be able to hear you clearly, with minimal distortion, if at all. There are a few reports of failed four microphones in the iPhone have been listening to people do not talk of the caller, iPhone with a 4; whether this fault or a microphone for an overzealous Noise-canceling microphone, is unclear.

Speakers: Both the speaker and listener base of the speaker to be heard, and free of static or distortion. Listen for noise from the noise-canceling microphone or an unscreened / screened poorly headphone speakers - my first two iPhone units 4 a very annoying "beatbox" sound when making calls.

Proximity Sensor: The touch screen should be switched off if the iPhone held to your ear, then quickly back on when pulled. There have been reports of the iPhone with 4 sensors accidentally activated during the phone calls and what people hang up on unwanted calls with their cheeks (How's that for FaceTime), but this is probably a problem with the IOS software as a hardware problem. If the proximity sensor to work at all, this is a hardware failure.

All of the above-mentioned studies carried out, together takes about 15-20 minutes, not counting the time that you want to synchronize data on the iPhone for the first time putting the iPhone through its paces with the four tests described above glaring deficiencies iPhone 4 be found immediately. The final piece of the iPhone 4 hardware requires that the test takes much longer to test:

Battery: I have done no specific testing of the iPhone 4 battery, but the life I have has come from him over the last 24 hours consistent with Apple's estimates. There are any number of battery tests you can perform to test your battery's capacity, but one of the most popular is a video on repeat and let it play until the battery is empty. According to Apple tests you should get around 10 hours of video playback from a single battery charge, but there is some leeway in these results. I want a little less than 7 or so hours of video playback on a fully charged, brand new iPhone 4, which may fail in brightness, which has done nothing to play as a video during this time to say to a battery failure.

These tests are necessarily simplistic, and they can not catch all the hardware failures that might find an Apple Store Genius with special equipment. That's the beauty part, though: these tests are only about everyone can do, and if you make it all right after I your iPhone 4 you are relatively sure that your iPhone 4 no out-of-the-box dud. After passing through this list myself, I could not find anything with my second replacement iPhone 4, at least for now, it seems the third time is indeed the charm.

Apple Settles iPod Battery Life Lawsuits in Canada

Hardware manufacturer Apple Inc., has agreed to settle two class action lawsuits in Canada, by online store credits to buyers of some early-generation iPod devices that suffered from dwindling battery life.
The two leading plaintiffs, Ines Lenze and Bradley Waddell claimed that Apple had in the early iPods than eight misrepresented to hours of continuous battery life of ten. In reality, the device's potential battery life dwindled considerably after he repeatedly charged.
Once these settlements are completed, the first and second generation iPod owners whose battery life is decreased to less than five hours, and the third generation of owners whose battery life to less than four hours will be eligible for $ 44 , 75 credit card at the online store of Apple. The settlement offers are available to customers in Canada, their iPods purchased before 24th June 2004.
Courts in Ontario and Quebec are to approve the settlement next month, and Apple is probably in the hope the problem get out of the way before the start of his long-awaited iPhone device later this year.
iPod Apple settled a similar suit in the United States in 2005, the award of a credit of $ 50 or $ 25 in cash down to the owners, whose battery life was below a certain level.

Apple Iphone 4 vs Samsung Galaxy S

Many people said that the new Samsung S Galaxy is better than Iphone 4.I wonder whether true.We to find out if the new Samsung S Galaxy is better than Iphone 4.It want seems incredible that things in only 365 days change. A year ago I would have a mobile phone with Android as an open operating system for multitasking and for a little more, but that would be to significantly reduce my productivity bind with a cell phone and elected me to the HTC phones like Magic, light years away from a iPhone 3G. But for some time that Android is no longer the ugly duckling introduced in version 1.6, the Google Nexus One, Motorola has achieved the same with the Version 2.1 Milestone Eclair and finally Droid X came in June last year and the Samsung S Galaxy, it is undeniable that impressive progress has been achieved.
Apple did this year and not through the introduction of the very wide top and could not afford an iPhone with less features of the hardware, very good and nice to your operating system, which had been encountered in previous models. The fact is that he is right is presented in their duties and WWDC a cellphone, a huge leap over its predecessors made, with a brilliant display, grown a processor with the situation and benefit from all advantages of the new IOS 4 The most important this multitasking.
So to compare at this point, I have a little over a month with the Samsung as my primary phone S Galaxy, and only a week with the iPhone in April, with four small IOS more. Before you file separately a review about any phone that you will read boring, I found much more interesting to the two in the bullring Gizmovil rather than face to face and let you win and share best Steady Place your bets to start the show !
Do you remember the N95? It belongs to the time when "smartphone" was synonymous with ugly brick, but in our case, both phones are a very sleek design and elegant lines, although the level of the software within a litter were enough to place them on a table in the public so that the object of all eyes, two real beauties.
In the case of Samsung-intentioned one note the similarity with the other two previous models of the iPhone 3G and 3G, with a rounded edge and central fat metal button, but why should that be wrong? Apple has also fully compatible with the iPhone lines 4 and thus the similarities disappear renovated.
With regard to your Apple, aside from the facelift that both phones have saved, seems perhaps the first to observe what if you get 4 or even an iPhone iPod Touch is the lack of curves, is a phone with more edges used the curved floor and rounded on the other models, I personally like it better than the previous one. Remember that good design is nothing if not complemented with a good finish and who does not give a good feeling on the skin, it's just where I focus on the next section."Consistency or ease?
In the design I prefer the iPhone, but the consistency in the weight and feel that every transfer, when you hold in your hand and begin to be very different and in one case in another.
The Samsung S Galaxy is very easy to see how big it is, well, surprised the first time that you are 118 grams to catch me, I know a lot less. The benefits are numerous, the most important thing is that despite enormous size not implemented in the pocket annoying at all difficult not disturbing, is perfect in this sense. The disadvantage is that this ease by the materials, plastic finite in the case from behind, the consistency of the Samsung's S Galaxy, no bathroom, poorer.
4 The iPhone is just the opposite is heavier, has 136 grams (which does not mean "is" serious eye), but the quality of materials is evident, a strength and an exquisite finish, a pleasure to have him in the hand. The adjective that best describes hold in the hand is "comfortable", it is nice if you keep more, everything is put together with precision and care to detail. The most important is they stick to the glass of the back, or you put that one pillow case or have it full of scratches after two days.The screen, two telephones, catch the eye
Here I have to give it a much more robust. After the introduction of the iPhone in April, and how well Steve Jobs sold the retina display Samsung lacked time to say that their new SuperAMOLED a resolution, and performances that were better had. Fair coincided with the time I started with the phone try, and I was a bit pissed off, because if it was not better than the vaunted Retinal Display as bad.
I was wrong, the iPhone's 4 screen is amazing, the best thing that can happen to a gadget. Wonderful, Mágica, sensational, spectacular, to Amazing, Cool, like on his ass covered pickles Flip ... You can drop a half-hour adjectives and phrases that have not to be tired. Not only you are a thousand times around the Galaxy S but I think that's what I am about the new iPhone as the mobile phones also come from the eyes, I remember when you turn it on and saw the white apple on black background be a picture with so much contrast, is the sensation of seeing a sticker much more enhanced if the unlock screen loaded and it reached the first "Wow ..."
Be careful, that I have the texts in praise of the retinal display left, but that does not much less bad than SuperAMOLED are quite the opposite. When in the sun, another point, Samsung, said the visibility of both the maximum brightness is set very similar, but I lean back a little more for your iPhone. The performance of the light sensor and the consequent adjustment of screen brightness in the case of S Galaxy leaves much to be desired, it is too rough, it may be the only negative point is that I found on a screen, retinal display apart, it is also wonderfully .
Who will replace a fabulous camera in her cell phone traditional camera that I have it back and arguments are not many things about mega pixels and sensors, to shoot. To release the Samsung S Galaxy, 4, and the iPhone every smartphone because they are not sure.
The camera on a phone I see it as an instrument to "capture the day to day": One moment, one morning, something to place our attention, a telephone number on a poster ... But access is not a substitute for a camera or a compact. I'm gonna difference between photos and video recordings, in the case of photographs, both cameras are very close, as I reflected the colors are generally the Samsung Galaxy S.
Images, taken by the latter usually covered more general in January contrast and saturation a little more than the mobile phone from Apple, but it behaves worse in low-light situations. The iPhone 4 also makes great photos, a better performance in low light conditions and also has the LED flash, although not the eighth wonder fulfills its mission perfectly and has a much greater power than we accept him for something so small
On the subject of your video as you record both 720p know, but if the Galaxy wins S photos, loses won here. The assumption that records video in high definition, like Manu, said in this post is not as good they look and the format in which recorded. Flv will not help much, in my opinion.
On the recording on the iPhone 4 more little complaint I have is wonderful, although it is a little trouble with the lights, backlights, sunsets and sometimes a little wobble wobble, the image because the sensor to capture not fast enough. Unlike the Galaxy S once the final result you can see outside your phone's display, absolutely amazing, true high-definition video to 720p.Battery life is not bad, but not perfect
The battery problem has always a tendency at all, were all, smart phones, particularly the Achilles tendon. Mobile phones are a very large display, multiple functions, which often operate on 3G, if at a higher frequency (1800 MHz, compared to 900MHz) with the extra effort, and this leads to the fact that a battery will require game.
In both cases, the battery life, but as I said in the headline is not perfect enough for me and I have not given much battle the iPhone in April, but the first tests I've done lead me to Galaxy holds one of the S draw a little more, more a matter of two hours have (you tried to do two days, more or less the same in both phones, in order to compare them with the utmost fidelity? I think I need a doctor to leave.) use what for real time, not at rest, in my particular iPhone 4 record is 14 hours, and nearly 15 Galaxy S, as you can see are very close, but I said I feel that Samsung better is. As standard they would both share the two days of normal use / moderate, without having to go through to reach the plug.
I do not know if you noticed, but the technical aspects of a phone, numbers, left me rather cold, as I focus on what can I do with these numbers and press the hardware and software to provide you a application. In both cases, the two phones mounted a 1GHz processor, the new A4 in the case of the iPhone, and 512 MB RAM but the user experience varies greatly from one to another.
Here is his merit was Samsung's hard not to, the following, because if there is something in Cupertino value and appreciate the ease of use, but in the S Galaxy, there are things that I got a little desperate. If you have many applications in a short time, or have something heavy to open in the background, the phone is very slow, clumsy, not to mention, that if you turn it on and at first does a scan of media (photos, videos ...) in the external card and the memory of the phone, which is completely useless as 2-3 minutes, something similar to what is used in many Windows. How can a cell phone is a good idea with such certificates to install a process manager to go to kill the background applications that we left?
The blame lies with the multitasking, has moved jobs three years to implement, but it must be made by telephone in the conditions with a much Ghz, that there are times when the S Galaxy can not so easy that after to be aware , a manager and close sporadically applications for maximum performance is something that bothers me very much. This is what I do with the numbers 1 GHz and 512 MB RAM does not mean "dramatic performance", not necessarily.IOs vs. Android, breeding grounds for Flame Wars
This does not work correctly, the two phones are so that I focus on the practical aspect and set aside to allow the systems. Personally, I am still twice as productive and agile with a phone when using IOS, we add that the Android Market is as much a disaster and a nest of very poor and very ugly applications. It may sound overly critical, but applications are increasing today, 99% of what I do with a smartphone, though not at the level we have a serious problem.
The Galaxy S camera is a little better, okay, but applications that I have to squeeze a photo was taken with the iPhone are so many, so varied and of such quality that I think about it not even two seconds to say that I do prefer the iPhone, road. With the theme, more of the same video, record a few videos, some pictures, ride around with iMovie on a couple of minutes and send it to my family is an experience, not much change hardware, I'm on a mobile phone with Android.
TouchWhiz interface, the Galaxy has launched the Samsung S is not so bad, except that a copy of the IOS, and I like, but alphabetically in managing desktops and applications list (much better than conventional ordered Android made, so that reorganization ) lose enough points you need slimmer, faster.All very nice, but who wins? Conclusions
We reached the end of the fight, as you have seen the race may already is more than close. For me, the Galaxy S is the best phone with Android is time, so naturally, a real monster brown in power and performance, but when you get here the Droid X must rewrite the claim. And for me the iPhone is in April, the best phone in the world, unique.
Where is the decisive factor in my opinion? If the screen we saw that all technical draw after the other was, battery, camera, design, weight / consistency, processor and RAM ... is the decisive factor in the operating system.
