What we expect to see inside the iPhone 5

What we expect to see inside the iPhone 5

We are only a handful of months since the launch of Apple's usual summer for the current iPhone hardware. With Apple busy keeping up with demand for both GSM and CDMA versions of the recently released iPhone 4, we think it might be worth considering what we might see within the next generation iPhone at WWDC presented this summer.

As for the form factor is concerned, do not expect to see radical (if any) changes to the exterior of a fifth-generation iPhone. Apple just changed the design of the original iPhone to 3G, and not all the 3G. IPhone 4 despite complaints with the design of the antenna and the front and back covers of glass has been generally quite sturdy and well received. And the company is now getting around to find how reliable than a white.

In addition, the iPhone 4 Display 3.5 "Retina is still one of the sharpest screen resolutions and the highest available on any mobile phone and the iPhone 4 5MP camera rear-lighting system is the best on any smart phone we have evaluated . We expect these to remain unchanged.

Instead, we believe Apple will focus on internal improvements for the iPhone 5, as it did with 3G. Three major improvements have been suggested in the last couple of months include a next-generation mobile processor, a move to dual-mode GSM / CDMA base band processors from Qualcomm, and the addition of near field communication hardware.
Updates, updates have ...

The updated processor, now known as A5, which will probably feature two ARM Cortex A9 cores running at 1 GHz or higher. The chip is also expected to have a more recent kernel iteration Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX graphics, which has a base line performance improvement by 40 percent in the Power VR SGX higher processor used in Apple's A4. Depending on power requirements and size of the process, Apple may even include two graphics cores to an even greater boost in graphics power. Both processor cores and graphics OpenCL compatible, allowing developers to more easily tap different cores to improve performance.

Apple is also likely to include dual-mode chips Qualcomm baseband, as MDM6600 used in current CDMA iPhone supports 4 on Verizon. This replaced the former Infineon chip GSM only, allowing Apple to take advantage of higher volumes on all iPhones.

We hope that Apple uses the dual-mode chip to create a single model of iPhone that is compatible with both types of networks. Doing so is likely to require some further adjustment of the antenna and the addition of a SIM card slot for the basic design of Apple iPhone uses CDMA 4. Apple also could move to an integrated, programmable SIM module inside the phone, eliminating the need for a SIM card slot accessible from the outside, though the companies have not been very receptive to the idea.

However, iSuppli analyst Wayne Lam suggested that instead of Apple could use the same Qualcomm chip with slightly different board designs logic and continue to sell different models for GSM and CDMA as it does now. This option gives you the freedom to adjust the antennas Apple separately for the different networks, as needed, instead of trying to design to work across both network types.

Apple is also rumored that even the near-field communications (NFC) radio hardware through its mobile product line. NFC enable a next-generation iPhone to act as a credit card or pass the transit system, and be able to extract data from RFID tag posters and advertisements. It could also facilitate communication enable peer-to-peer between iDevices and other smart phones equipped with NFC, or would it be easier to connect an iPhone to "smart" NFC accessories.

Other components that could see improvements are the vibrator module and battery. The new iPhone CDMA 4 contains a "soft" vibrating motor and a battery a little lighter, which will probably be used in the update scheduled for this summer.

Some technology circles have questioned why consumers pounce on a Verizon iPhone 4 (or even a white iPhone 4) When an updated model is probably only months away, but we do not buy the 4s in the next iPhone weeks will feel like you should have waited. It is likely that some time before the expected internal updates are used by developers so that the iPhone 4 is seen as a spectacle to the detriment, perhaps in time for a more radical "iPhone 6" review in 2012.

Google Translation Application Landed on iPhone

Google Translation Application Landed on iPhone

Google software that can turn the iPhone into such language translator has been available and landed in the Apple application store recently. The application is capable of receiving voice input to 15 languages.

Just as the capabilities of a web application, iPhone users can now translate any word or phrase into one or more than 50 language options available. As stated by Wenzhang Zhu, one of Google's engineers in a posting on his blog.


It's easy, just hit the voice input microphone icon next to the text box and pronounce the sentence you want translated. The system will then translate these words into a format appropriate language.

Google Translate for iPhone is using voice recognition technology similar to Google's version that was released last month for a desktop computer, clear the technician.

Recently Google has also added the ability to translate the language on the Android smart phone with software that can translate conversations in real time. Android phone sales have also been through the iPhone in the fourth quarter of last year and getting stick BlackBerry as the most popular mobile platform in the United States, according to market analysis agency, ComScore.

Google puts iPad in the crosshairs

Google puts in the spotlight IPAD

The Motorola Xoom Android Honeycomb tablet is displayed during a press event at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show. Google provides an overview Wednesday of the tablet computer software designed to dethrone the IPAD and courted developers key to the success of Apple gadgets. Google showed a honeycomb version of its Android operating system to be released in the next tablet Motorola Xoom who won raves at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last month. "Honeycomb is adapted to the new generation of tablet-sized computers," said the director of Google's mobile products, Hugo Barra, while demonstrating the features of the software on the Internet titan's headquarters in Mountain View, California. "We have invested an enormous amount of time to really optimize the performance of honeycomb. The system of free open source works is expected to soon be built in an array of touch-screen tablets in a growing market currently dominated by Apple iPad launched last year. In a sign that Google intends to woo the developers behind the "applications" that fuel the popularity of smart phones and tablets, executives here stressed that comb is built as a platform for innovation software. Google also announced the launch of an online store in market.android.com Android Market, where people can find work or set of applications for devices running on the mobile operating software. Belgian Internet is proposed to formulate a long-standing complaint by allowing developers to make money from transactions in applications such as the purchase of virtual goods, music or other digital offerings. "We received a lot of comments from developers who want more ways to make money from their applications," said engineering director Chris Yerga Android. "Today, we are releasing the code for the monetization of application to the entire community of Android developers." Disney Mobile CEO Bart Decrem said the U.S. entertainment power held outside of what their success "Tap Tap Revenge" music game for Android devices to songs could be sold to players. Tap Tap Revenge was one of three Android games presented by Disney in the event Decrem Google. "We waited until today's announcement to carry" Tap Tap Revenge 'to Android, and give our users the hard way that love is a key part of the game, "said Decrem. most successful mobile games for Disney, Tap Tap has been downloaded more than 50 million times. The large number of applications for honeycomb shown after the presentation includes interactive software applications to link users to a tablet to CNN news stories, images and video. "It's no secret that the pills are becoming a force in the market and is something we will be seeing all year," said the president of CNN, vice president of mobile Louis Gump. "We've been working hard for an Android application of the tablet." A free implementation of the CNN for honeycomb tablets will be launched "in the near future", according to Gump. The event took place the comb on the same day that News Corp. 's Rupert Murdoch unveiled "The Journal," an online journal created exclusively for the iPad. Murdoch, an enthusiastic fan of the IPAD, told The Daily only available in the Tablet PC from Apple, for now, but over time they appear on other pills. "We hope to be in every large tablets. However, we believe that this year and maybe next year really belong to Apple," he said at an event in New York. The journal is sold through Apple's App Store and iTunes, and cost 99 cents per week or $ 39.99 per year. Apple apparently has more firmly begun implementation of a standard financial transactions requests must go through their payment system with those of Cupertino, California-based company to achieve its reduction of 30 percent. Reportedly, a request Sony refused to link people to the online store of the Japanese firm of digital books to your reader mail because the sales were consummated outside the Apple App Store.

Google demos Android Honeycomb tablet OS

Google has previewed Honeycomb, its Android 3.0 operating system, at a demo day at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California.

ZDNet UK's sister site CNET News tested Android 3.0 Honeycomb on the Motorola Xoom tablet, running through the OS's latest features.

The most significant change is that this operating system release was designed specifically for tablets, unlike earlier Android versions, which were designed mostly for phones and produced a mixed experience when magnified by the larger screen of the tablet.

iPhone 4 on Verizon: Buy now, or wait for iPhone 5?

Verizon Wireless will begin taking pre-orders for the iPhone 4 running on your network CDMA / EV-DO, on Thursday and will begin selling the device on February 10.

However, judging from the inquiries received in Computerworld, many potential customers are pondering the possibility of buying an iPhone from Verizon 4 or wait for the iPhone improved 5 (or whatever it's called), which is due this summer.

All the facts about prices data are presented, including the lure of Verizon unlimited data usage for $ 30 a month with a two-year contract - an agreement of AT & T no longer offers. Although there are rumors that AT & T could restore operation unlimited data, AT & T had no comment on the matter early Tuesday. Verizon will charge $ 199.99, the same price as AT & T, for the 16GB version of the device itself to users who are part of a two-year contract and data plan.

Still, readers of Computerworld and others wonder whether they should go to Verizon, which apparently offers a better service for AT & T, or wait for the iPhone 5 certainly coming this summer, probably in July?
IPhone will have five worth the wait?
The five reports iPhone could be several improvements that could be important for some users - including support for Near Field Communication, which could allow the device to be used as a mobile payment card for purchases at retail.
The list of the iPhone 5 upgrades also may include support for video chat through 4G networks and a faster processor dual-core, according to speculation from various sources - including Computerworld blogger Jonny Evans and the Hubpages website.
The iPhone 5 may also have dual radio chips, possibly allowing it to operate in multi-vendor networks such as GSM networks of AT & T and T-Mobile, and CDMA / EV-DO for Verizon and Sprint Nextel .

There is also speculation that support for an iPhone that run on faster networks LTE is farther away, possibly in a back entrance (version 6?) From Apple, but AT & T says its HSPA + is a version of GSM network faster than qualify as 4G, with speeds exceeding 5Mbit/sec. Both AT & T and Verizon are working to LTE with Verizon's effort is already underway.
How important is the carrier's network?
The fact that the iPhone 5 is on the way is not the only consideration for buyers. network coverage and consistency count.

A Computerworld Executive Secretary sent this query over Facebook on behalf of his boss, a businessman, who is still in a dilemma about buying Verizon: Would it make sense to go to the iPhone from Verizon, with a reporting service, better or stick with AT & T and the potential for an iPhone that is 5? And even then, Verizon has the iPhone can 5 in your network?
The decision tree to help the executive to decide is quite complex. The price is not a major concern for him, but there are other factors to consider. Much depends on how much better Verizon is likely in areas where their boss uses his iPhone mostly. He is based in the Los Angeles area, and neither the secretary nor his boss have reported many problems with AT & T for the iPhone there, and do not know much about the quality of service of Verizon.

Complaints about the AT & T in recent years have come primarily from users in downtown San Francisco and Manhattan. AT & T has admitted that it faced problems in those places, and began improvements to its network in more areas than a year ago.
voice connections were a major concern.
Analysts say the only way to get a reliable comparison of the two systems is the use of a cell through networks in areas where they make voice and data connections. That means that at home, at work and during your trip.

Contrary to what the companies claim in their advertisements, each network is vulnerable to congestion, depending on how many users are in a single cell tower at a time, and other factors. Help to upgrade to HSPA + and LTE, but that's not the only solution. The carriers regularly anticipate congestion and to add cell towers and antennas in densely populated areas, besides making other improvements. Yet there may be problems, including dropped calls, static and echoes.

Sony Alpha DSLR-A560

Sony introduces its first video-capable dSLR ...

I am a little sorry for the Sony Alpha DSLR-A560. It is not his fault Sony has chosen to announce the innovative camera at the same time released the update to the line of mid-range SLR. Because if the A560 had received a notice of its own, would probably be a little more excitement around them - the first DSLR from Sony with a video capture capability. It is true that Sony is the latest to play in this regard, but certainly are not worse than the competition despite the delay.
In a gesture of welcome, Sony has consolidated its line of sub-$ 1000 DSLR, A550 A560 and A500 on the bottom fold. A560 not only add AVCHD video capture, also becomes the new autofocus system and measuring 15 points to 1200 the area and the same sensor that national implementation models.
