iPad3 采用(A5X)双核处理器?








距离苹果计划在3月7日正式发布iPad 3的时日越来越近,网络上依旧有不少关于iPad 3功能以及硬件的传闻,而最引人注目的一则消息是iPad 3的主板和芯片曝光。
  从图片不难看出iPad 3 采用A5X 的芯片,针对这个命名有很多解释。据其他媒体猜测,这或许是对A5的一种升级,为了增加图像部份的运算能力。但是据笔者观察,这张图代表不了什么,如果真的是采用A5芯片的话,那么很有可能符合前段时间网络谣传:采用双核处理器。但是面对Android这一强敌,双核处理器真的能阻挡Android的强攻吗?只能等到发布iPad3的时候才揭晓。


苹果Siri还不足够威胁Google

虽然在外观方面几乎没有变化,但iPhone4S依然受到强烈追捧。除了追求苹果的品牌之外,800万像素、A5处理器以及Siri语音识别系统都是该机的主要卖点。不过《福布斯》特约撰稿人大卫·考塞(David Coursey)似乎并不是看好Siri,认为该功能威胁不到谷歌,而且还有理有据的列出了五个观点。






1.市场占有率
几乎可以肯定的是,苹果将不会把Siri系统授权给任何一家智能手机生产商。那也就是说,在Siri仅仅支持iOS这一个平台的前提下,其市场占有率将无法同谷歌相提并论。而且,我也不认为这款应用可以夺走谷歌大量收入,最多只是会对谷歌造成干扰,还不足以威胁谷歌地位。
2. Android同样出色
Android系统智能手机已经足够优秀,虽然我不会为了Android而放弃我手中的iPhone,但仍然有不少用户会选择Android手机。所以,谷歌不必开发出一款同Siri一样优秀的产品,只要足够使用就可以。
3. Siri并非完美无缺
Siri很难在不同地域、人群之中被广泛采用。苹果也从来不是一个大众化的平民品牌,因为其售价一直较高。如果你不是苹果产品粉丝,那么你也许就不会像iPhone用户那样认为Siri应用如此神奇,而且其功能方面的不完善还可能在日后让用户觉得有些烦人。
4.谷歌坐拥庞大数据库
谷歌充分了解用户需求并拥有足够的用户数据来推出更好的语音应用,至少是在数据功能方面可以超越Siri。不过谷歌面临的挑战是,如何让自己的应用能够像Siri一样理解用户提出的问题。
5.Siri无法取代谷歌搜索
目前谷歌搜索功能与Siri应用功能仅有为数不多的关联,Siri也并不能够取代谷歌搜索功能,即用户在搜索后会获得多项结果,用户有权从中作出选择。与此同时,Siri则可以实现在移动领域中的简便搜索,它帮助用户缩小了搜索范围和结果,改善了智能手机的功能,比如语音拨号等。
虽然看上去每一条说的都很有道理,但很多果粉儿并不认同他的观点。甚至有人提出虽然Siri或许无法叫板Android,但融合上iOS5之后,就不是一个级别的了。当然,这样的观点自然也被很多安卓用户否定。其实Android和iOS到底哪个更好,本身就是一个无解的问题,萝卜白菜各有所爱吧,还请广大网友理性看待。

苹果iTV最快4月可问世?







关于苹果公司正在研发电视机产品已经是众所周知的“秘密”了,但是在产品发布日期上一直没有人敢确定什么,一般的推测都是今明两年,最快也是12年末。而现在Technobuffalo方面根据电子产品高级供应商的消息表示,苹果公司将在数月内推出电视机产品,而最快的时间是在今年4月。

据匿名消息来源表示,他们已经见过苹果电视机的预产样机,“绚丽,非常薄”,采用的是OLED面板,尺寸有种,最大的是42英寸。

至于TV set是否采用iOS系统,消息来源表示不确定,但是表示苹果电视将会与iOS设备深度整合,还拥有Siri语音控制,iOS设备也可以当做遥控器。有苹果高管称苹果电视将会成为家庭电子消费品的中心,代替原来PC个人电脑的地位。

上面的描述似乎都可以接受,唯独产品发布时间,最快今年4月份,这个时间未免太快了点,而且经销商能了解到这么多的秘密,是否可信呢?这一切都是未知数,但如果是真的,可是不小的惊喜。

Apple iPad 3 Will Probably Release on February 24

Hundreds of rumors have been floating around about the released date of Apple iPad 3, the most anticipated device from Apple. There is not any official announcement yet from Apple about the released date while people start speculating toward it. A rumor said that iPad will be spotted at CES 2012, but then it turns up to be just a rumor. Other rumor said that it will be released on March, the same month of iPad 2’s released time. Adding the rumors, this time it is very specific, iPad 3 will probably release on February 24. The date aroused as it is Steve Jobs’ birthday. It will be great to released iPad 3 on his birthday as an ode to his brilliance. Will it comes to reality? Well, let’s just hope so. Meanwhile, let’s move on and speculate on its features.

Apple iPad 3


Apple iPad 3

The display of Apple iPad 3 will probably feature QXGA quality display with 2048 by 1536 pixels resolution. The display is also expected to come with the new Retina Display technology that is claimed to be very clear and sharp as or retina. Maintaining its brightness level, iPad 3 will possibly add in two LED bars. To win the competition, Apple iPad 3 is expected to feature its new processor called A6 – it is still debate whether it will come with a quad-core chip or a souped-up dual-core offering. Quad core processors are processors that mostly support all new gadgets and computer in 2012, though, it might better not to expect too much from iPad 3. As for its OS, iPad 3 will run on iOS 5 just like recent iPhone 4S. But it rumors that Apple will introduce the new OS X Lion for its tablets.

Since the last Apple iPhone 4S features 8 megapixels camera, it is very logical to speculate that iPad 3 will also feature the same camera. There is also rumor said that it will only get 5 megapixels camera. Aside its features of video calling and capturing images, it is also expected to record HD video up to 1080p resolution. Supporting the speculated features above such as dual LED bars, camera, A6 processor, etc, iPad 3 also expected to carry powerful battery. It is possible powered by 14,000 mAh battery that delivers twice power of the current iPad. Other speculation is on design and dimension. Many people are expected that Apple iPad 3 will be thinner, lighter as well as more stylish and elegance than its predecessors. Rumors said that it will down 20 percent in size compare to iPad 2. Lighter enough than iPad 2 as it will use lighter battery. Another expectation is that iPad 3 will have a wireless charging technology, allowing you to charge the battery and transfer data wirelessly. In term of storage, Apple iPad 3 is speculated to have new iCloud service to store photos, applications, calendars and access songs on iTunes without storing them in the phone’s memory.

iPhone4S静音问题严重 上千用户抱怨


      据称,iPhone4S的静音问题在上市之初就已经出现,但当时并未受到人们的注意。这个缺陷致使用户在拨打iPhone4S时,手机出现无声状态,听不到对方的话语但自己却可以被对方听见。


  苹果的用户反映,目前至少有十分之一的概率出现不能听见通话的现象,他们想出了很多方法进行解决,比如重拨、使用Siri、恢复设备、用蓝牙耳机、重启机器等等。






  虽然苹果提供了iOS 5.0.1新系统,但目前效果不佳,电池过耗、静音问题依然没有得到有效解决,苹果官方暂时还没有对iPhone4S静音问题发表评论。



Apple iPhone 4/4S Dock

Since it first released together with iPhone back in 2007, iPhone dock is obviously a noteworthy accessory. Since Apple iPhone 4/4S is already released, so does the iPhone 4/4S dock. The dock becomes noticeable when you want to use your iPhone with computer or stereos and be satisfied with a clean design and easy mounting.

At first, iPhone dock is bundled with iPhone package sell. Then, it is pulled off from the package sell of the next iPhone generation. It is done to give a less expensive package sell. The dock of iPhone 3 and 3G are released in small size, very much different from its predecessors. Now, there is iPhone 4/4S dock which has remarkably dropped even further in size but still preserves the same functionality and pricing as its predecessors. Being smaller from its predecessor is not a shocking event as Apple is very fond of making its devices as small as possible. Together with the iPhone 4/4S itself, the dock is claimed to be the tiniest iPhone dock to date.

The dock comes with a footprint of 2.38 x 1.68 inches, small enough as a dock. Only a few inches can be seen off to the sides and front of the iPhone 4, with around 1.2 inches of plastic at the back to support the device as it rests. On the back side, there are two ports; a Dock connector cable port and a 3.5 mm audio cable port. The bottom side is decorated with a soft rubber pad to keep it from slipping on flat surface. The dock’s sales package ships without other items, means that you have to supply the synchronizing, charging, audio, or video accessories you want to use with it by yourself.

iPhone 4/4S Dock

For time being, there is no significant problems appeared as iPhone 4/4S dock works well on the most commonly attached electronic accessories – charging, synchronizing, video and audio cables. In other hand, Apple is also persistent in using its own cables to connect to computer and AV system which work without complaint. But then, everything is still on the user preferences. The users tend to use the Dock to be attached to home stereo system due to its high quality output. It provides a better sounding and more stable mounting solution than using audio cable to the iPhone 4/4S headphone port.

There are also some important differences between iPhone 4/4S dock and Universal Docks. The port-out line become fixed rather variable as seen in Universal dock. There is also no IR sensor included, sometimes enabling remote control to change volume levels. The iPhone 4/4S dock is also designed with a bottom mounted speakerphone; small grid inside the dock that match the iPhone’s mesh panels of microphone and speaker. There is also a wave finished on the dock’s bottom that lets audio flow out and in without distortion.

Overall, the iPhone 4/4S Dock is a noteworthy accessory for your iPhone 4/4S. It is electronically as solid as its predecessors, and its small design makes it even easier to locate on a desk, nightstand, or next to a stereo system.

Facebook Android 用家多过 iPhone 用家


FACEBOOK在iPhone和Android的两个平台都有提供应用程序给用家使用,过往的iPhone FACEBOOK的用户数量都较为Android的Facebook的用户量多,但最近情况开始逆转,由iPhone占多数,之后打成平手,到最近的Android的Facebook的用户数量已超越为iPhone的Facebook。
为Android的Facebook的DAU(日活跃用户)已达到5830万,而iPhone则是5740万。




这个Android 超越iPhone 数​​字有什么意义?
过往,Facebook 在手机平台推出新版本或新功能,都会是先出iPhone 版本,之后才出Android 版本。最主要原因当然是iPhone 的用户群较大。
现在情况逆转,Facebook 会否改变这一做法? Facebook 当然不会明确说明。但最近的Timeline 功能则是在Android 平台先行推出,直至昨天iPhone 版本才提供Timeline 功能。

iPhone Galaxy S2 or Samsung iPhone S2 ;)

Are you an iPhone lover and recently shifted to Android?? Now you can have the looks or an iPhone on your Android mobile.

Make you Samsung Galaxy S2 or for that matter any Android device into an iPhone.. Go to the market and download this app. Its a launcher like Go Launcher, Shell 3D launcher etc.

Download it from this link :  https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.espier.launcher

I have tried this for a couple of hours now on my Samsung Galaxy S2, no crashes faced yet. Everything works well. You can search for the apps or anything on your mobile like you do on an iPhone as well. Here are some screenshots from my device.

The icons have changed to cubes like they are on an iPhone, but everything inside the apps is the same as they open by default on Android.




Create folders simply by dragging one app on the other/overlapping them. Rename folders. Have the same look (obviously not the feel cuz' inside its basically Android) of an iPhone.





Get that shaky feeling when u wanna move or delete apps on this launcher. Just hold any app and they start vibrating/shaking and then your free to move them, create folders, delete apps..



Happy using an Android OS with the look of an iPhone!! But just the look.. From inside, Its Android which rocks!

Unlocked iPhone 4S Coming Soon

There is a good news for you who love Apple iPhone! Apple is offering unlocked iPhone 4S to U.S. consumers within weeks of its debut. Starting next month, you can buy an unlocked iPhone 4S from Apple and not attached to any carrier.

Bin Lee is among those interested in buying an unlocked iPhone 4S.
Lee carries two phones: an iPhone 3G that's got a Bay Area phone number and a Samsung Galaxy that's got an Asian number. An unlocked iPhone 4S would not only be a nice upgrade from his older iPhone, but would allow him to plug in a local SIM card in whatever country he's in. Having to pay overseas roaming charges to a U.S. carrier would be much more costly.

Unlocked iPhone 4S

Paul Singh is also interested in the unlocked iPhone 4S. First, Apple is charging a premium of $450 for the unlocked devices. The unlocked 16-gigabyte iPhone 4S costs $649; the one locked to AT&T costs just $199.

Second, the unlocked iPhone 4S only work on GSM-compatible carriers. So even though you can buy an iPhone 4S that's tied to Sprint or Verizon, you can't use an unlocked iPhone on those networks.

Carriers typically charge high rates for phone service to make up for the costs of offering consumers discounted phones. The flip side of that is that some carriers offer lower-priced service to customers who bring their own phones to the service or pay in full for those phones from the carrier.

Even if consumers buy an unlocked iPhone 4S, they'll pay the same fare for AT&T service they would pay if they got a subsidized phone from the company.

For customers who pay full fare for some Android and other smartphones, AT&T offers a $50-a-month no-contract plan that features unlimited calling, text messaging and data usage. Consumers can take their unlocked iPhone 4S to T-Mobile and get a similar $50-a-month no-contract plan. AT&T doesn't offer an unlimited-everything plan for iPhone users. At that rate, users who take their unlocked phone to T-Mobile could make up the extra cost in six months. Anyway, if you have a plan to buy an unlocked iPhone 4S, you may also need an iPhone 4S case.

Please be sure to know what you are getting before you buy this. If you do your research, and you're informed, you'll love this case. If you're the type that wants to set your iPhone on it's screen face down (a behavior I've never understood)... this isn't the case for you.

This case fits like a glove, is super thin and appears to be extremely durable. I love the matte/soft touch finish, it adds excellent grip while keeping the phone thin and light... perfect for us pocket carriers.

This is my 4th case (Uncommon, Case Mate, and Speck were the other 3) in the year that I have owned my phone and it's first that I feel completely happy with.

I bought this case along with a few others at the same time. This case was by far the cheapest and turned out to be the one i like the most. I had a Speck case before i purchased this one and had to remove the phone too often to dock it or plug in an AUX cable. This case fits the AUX cable perfectly without having to remove the case. It also sits on my speaker dock perfectly as well. One other thing is that putting on the clear screen protectors i was having issues with keeping the screen protectors on with my Belkin case but there are no issues with this one. If you are looking for a case like the otter box you dont buy this because it wont protect it that much...but at $1.89 with free shipping you cant beat it! It also fits very well in my pocket and seems so much smaller than when i had the phone in the Speck case.

While Mark Du from Australia said, "I want to have a new iPhone with better features than previous models and also because Steve Jobs is gone." Motivation is like confirms the predictions of some analysts who say that the iPhone 4S will hit not because of its features, but because iPhone 4S is the last iPhone which Steve Jobs involved directly.

Steve Jobs himself died on October 5, 2011, the day after the launch of the iPhone 4S. Carl Howe, analyst with Yankee Group, said that sales of the iPhone 4 and reached 1.7 million units in its first week.

苹果“有毒” 拒绝iphone污染中国


苹果公司作为世界上强大的电子企业之一,在世界各地分布着广大的消费群体,也是全球信赖的生产企业之一。iphone手机更掀起苹果热潮,全球追捧。近期,由于苹果前CEO乔布斯辞职,苹果公司被推向舆论尖峰,一些负面新闻也不期而至。但是,最近一两年,频繁曝光苹果公司在中国供应链存在污染和毒害。不仅有废气排放,还污染河流。苹果现在已经变成了“毒苹果”,让人不寒而栗!
根据调研报告显示,部分苹果供应商的污染已经对环境造成了严重的损害。这个3000亿美元产业帝国的污染排放正在蔓延,严重威胁当地环境和公众健康。
一家在武汉的苹果供应商工厂污染物排放过大,使工厂旁的南太子湖受到严重污染。
苹果在华供应商包括富士康、广州名幸电子和昆山凯达电子等等,都曾被曝光出现过环境问题。还有部分工厂因为员工在车间工作而造成恶疾的例证。然而苹果却始终不肯对此作出回应。
苹果供应商的危险废物产生量非常巨大,不仅威胁了社区的环境和公众的健康,给中国的环境留下了长期的隐患。然而他继续利用污染企业获取超额的利润。我们应拒绝苹果,拒绝iphone,提出抗议,保护我们的生活环境。

Good news for Samsung, okay news for Apple and really bad news for Nokia


A review of Nokia N8 against Samsung Android makes issues with Nokia best smartphone pretty clear.

"Samsung will become the world’s largest smartphone vendor in the third quarter of 2011, replacing beleaguered mobile manufacturer Nokia, which has held top position for the past fourteen years, according to Nomura.

"The financial institution believes that Apple will also overtake Nokia, beating the Finnish vendor into second place in the next quarter, after failing to hold back growth of the iOS and Android smartphone operating systems."


We have been beyond impressed by the outstanding excellence of Samsung's light weight next generation products. We use Samsung phones, tablets and super light laptops. Samsung is the most Web 3.0 company on the planet. Not only producing a large range of highly mobile devices, but also allowing user the selection of Windows or Android platforms.

As much as we like Apple's products the lock in to one companies platforms is a big minus. Also we simply like Androids open market, its performance, and its features better than iPhone.

As for Nokia what can we say. We love our Nokia N8s camera. In many ways the Nokia N8 is the best smartphone we have ever used. But until the company is producing smartphones with a real OS they are going to lose market share.

Samsung, along with HTC, is pursuing a brilliant open strategy of producing mobile devices and tablets on both Microsoft and Google platforms. Each has its unique strengths and the combined offering is better for consumers than a Apple only strategy.
