Windows 8 – Are We Ready for It?

July 26, 2012 by admin in Microsoft | Comments Off

Microsoft have smoked out windows 7 – operating system with the latest windows 8. It has been said that the release and availability of the operating system will be on October 26, 2012 – although, Microsoft provided consumer trials prior to the said release date.

The idea of creating windows 8 reached thousands of critics and controversies. Windows 8 reviews made by people who have tried the OS are split; some say they like the OS while others weren’t impressed by the revolution.

We say it’s a revolution because it’s totally a diversion from the Microsoft tradition. The new operating system doesn’t use the start up menu – which was started on windows 95 until the late windows 7. In addition, the main page is no longer the desktop but a list of applications and snippets.

Originally, Windows 8 (they call it Metro) was designed for tablets and iPhones, which uses the touch screen command. Originally designed for tablets, it’s quite interesting how effective it is on keyboard-commanded PCs.

Some testers say that they don’t like windows 8 and its navigations are quite confusing. They prefer the older type of OS, which they were more oriented.

However, they like the speed and snappiness of the new operating system; it’s even better than windows 7. Since it’s designed for tablets and iPhones originally, it’s compatibility with newly developed applications is laudable.

Furthermore, many windows 8 reviews applaud the OS’ friendliness towards social media applications and networking sites such as Flicker. Users can drag, upload, and download pictures on the site faster compared to other OS.

To wrap things up, it’s a challenge for Microsoft on how to introduce it to the mass market – as an OS ready for everyday work and office. On the consumers side, it’s a big challenge to be familiar with the operating system and to adapt it – like other windows flagship systems – Windows 8 reviews.

Fairly speaking, we thought it’s necessary to pit Nokia’s flagship against the pride of Apple- the iPhone 4S. Both phones are indeed attractive in various ways. Noticeably, there’s a big difference in the pricing department of these two popular phones.

Design

For beginners, some of the common words that pop out to mind are things such as solid, unique and quality. Indeed, the Nokia Lumia 900 specs is a bit larger compared to the iPhone 4S, but both occupy the top-notch premium materials with their compositions. Nevertheless, it’s worth indicating that the Lumia remains a cleaner look- thanks to its unibody polycarbonate pattern, while the iPhone 4S is somewhat like more exposed to marks and fingerprints since its glossy. Eventually, both their iconic looking designs are flattering in our eyes. Since iPhone 4S’ physical buttons are more outstanding, preferring them both over the flat feel of the set of buttons of Lumia 900. Additionally, the same thing is said about the springy home button of iPhone, since nothing beats having a physical response- while the Lumia 900 remains to the using of the common Windows Phone buttons capacitive set.

Display

Alright, we can all say yes that these two handsets brags some displays that are indeed lovely from a far look, but as you try to inspect both closely, you will notice that the Retina Display of the iPhone 4S is more favorable. Surely, the Nokia Lumia 900 specs is advantageous for having the larger 4.3″ display, but its WVGA (480 x 800) pales in contrast to iPhone’s Retina Display of 640 x 960 resolution. Ultimately, the variation in details is most noticeable in the web browser upon viewing web sites in their totality, as you’ll be able to identify fine text with the iPhone 4S- while on the Lumia 900, it appears distorted. Moreover, since the iPhone 4S depends on an IPS LCD panel, its color scheme is more precise over the drenched tones Lumia 900″s AMOLED panel.

iPhone 5 Reviews: Want an iPhone 5? Then Read This!

July 23, 2012 by admin in Mobile Phones | Comments Off

Are you keyed up about the release of the new iPhone 5 as I am? Probably not, since I am the ones writing these iPhone 5 reviews and you’re the one reading (hope you do). I hate to state it but somehow I’ve controlled to be one of those Apple fan girls that you see walking in Apple store and spending 30 minutes just to ask the employees all sorts of weird questions.

For one good reason or another, I’ve taken it to myself to look for the new iPhone 5 as much as possible so that I could spread this idea on these iPhone 5 reviews. As if the iPhone 4 wasn’t a boom enough, the iPhone 5 is going to invade the world of cell phones. Here’s why:

One benefit of owning one iPhone 5 is that it will come with dual processors that allow it to load at super fast speeds. It will also be incorporating even more powerful graphic chip cards which will give you with better still images and videos. As if the 20 gig watt gazillion megapixel is not enough in the iPhone 4.

Right now it seems that the new iPhone 5 will be functioning on a 4G network, instead of the normal 3G. Meaning, some of the most likely network carriers to have a plan are Spring T-Mobile, and probably Verizon and AT&T. But we’ve all heard a lot of protests about AT&T network in the past so I guess; a lot of people would opt to choose for the new iPhone 5.

In fact, one of the main reasons behind the rapid jailbreaks of the iPhone 4 was that AT&T’s network had given a lot of problems with it. Rather than dealing with AT&T, a lot of people ended up jail breaking their phones instead. Moreover, anyone who claims that Android based cell phones are going to be able to race with the new iPhone 5 is completely hallucinating. They won’t even get closer to the features offered by the new iPhone when it is released.

How much will be cost of the new iPhone 5? I can’t actually hypothesize that on this series of iPhone 5 reviews, but I’m sure it’s quite costly. It’s certainly going to be worth it though, and I can’t wait any longer for it to be released.

But then, the iPhone 5 could simply have a larger screen display and not the overall body.

iPhone 5 could come with the LTE capability/4G

The iPhone 5 could have the 4G ability because Samsung has got its Infuse 4G on the loose already. Therefore, it would be only rational that the Apple get iPhone 5 backed up 4G ability. The LTE capability, if it is possible, would be a bang!

A dual-core processor has been a pretty usual thing in the smartphones nowadays. There is a close fight between Apple smartphone’s processors which runs iOS and Samsung smartphones running Android. The A6 quad-processor anticipated in iPhone 5′s feature, could leave any rival behind.
