What Would the New Apple iPhone 5 Be Like?

By Unknown

Apple has become the most valued company in the history of business with a valuation of 624 billion US dollars. At this time, its most prestigious and most revenue-generating product, the Apple iPhone is also expected to get a new facelift. Reports and tweets are flying all around us with comments and speculations about the new iPhone.

There are leaked photos of iPhone 5 that show a screen much larger than the current 3.5 inch belonging to 4S. The new phones that are expected to be released within a month’s time include the new iPhone as well as Samsung’s highly popular Galaxy Note’s second version, Galaxy Note 2 (expected release date: Aug 29). iPhone is expected to be released in September (most of the rumors indicate possible unveiling on or before 21st).

In terms of device hardware, iPhone 5 will have excellent features. Expected ones include larger, thinner display with immensely higher resolution; possible support for NFC (Near Field Communication technology); support for 4G LTE; possible support for nano-SIM technology; quad-core processor among others.

The presence of NFC, however, is not confirmed. UK’s the Independent daily reported that the iPhone 5 probably won’t be released with NFC capability. The newspaper tells that Apple is concerned about the lack of a common standard in the industry about NFC. And they are planning to release a mobile payment system of their own (probably a standard for Apple devices alone).

Anyway, all of these are rumors, and we will get to know the truth only when the actual device gets released within a few days.

Let’s look at some of the leaked photos and concept designs of the new iPhone found in various websites out there…

10 Worst Android Antivirus Apps You Can Get

By VJ
Are you careful about the security of your smartphone? For your Android device, Google Play store offers a number of antivirus apps. There are paid and free apps from professional companies like Avast!, Kaspersky, and Lookout, as well as free antivirus apps that install and work relatively faster. Among the security apps found on the Play Store, there are a number of free, lightweight ones, most of which enjoy a great number of downloads and high ratings. Most of the ratings are done by people who find the interface easy to use, but have no idea whether the app actually works or not. Many of us feel the app is great if the interface is cool, don’t we? It is painful to note that most of these free apps not only fail at most antivirus tests, but experts regard them to be incapable of detecting any threat. Last year, the latest mobile antivirus test report was published by AV-Test.org , in which they tested and rated the best and the worst antivirus programs among multiple platforms. ...

Five Great Alternatives for iGoogle Home Page Portal

By VJ
Google’s popular home page service, iGoogle will be retired on November 1st, 2013. That’s a little over a year of managing your home page through this service. It came as a great disappointment to me since I had been using the service for a long time. I have a nice home page set up in iGoogle with news from BBC, CNN, and others; my calendar; a widget for time management; topic-specific news on technology, stock quotes, weather; and some other interesting stuff. It was a page that I woke up to for many days. It seems obvious that the popularity of home page services has been coming down in the recent years; another popular service in this arena, Netvibes has turned into something else entirely. I could have turned my attention to Netvibes after they retire iGoogle, but that won’t happen now. I will miss Google’s home page, and before that I want to find out another portal service that I could love as I do iGoogle. In search for one, I found these great services which can replace iG...

Should Microsoft Consider Buying Nokia?

By VJ
In a recent talk between Microsoft and Nokia, the two companies contemplated a merger. WSJ reported the story  yesterday, and for quite a while, industry leaders have been cogitating on this move. Since 2011, Nokia has been in tie-up with Microsoft to use Windows Phone operating system on all of its major devices, notably the Nokia Lumia series ( Lumia 920 , 928 , etc). This has helped both companies in great ways. Here is an analysis as to whether the merger could pave way to success to these companies. Nokia Nokia, the Finnish smartphone maker, has been quite big in the market up until Android and iOS destroyed the stronghold of its Symbian OS. Nokia subsequently fell from the top and now has the tenth position in global smartphone market with about 2.8 percent of the market, according to research firm Gartner. Nokia lost its stock value considerably, and the strong stock, which some time in 2007 was trading at a peak rate of 40 dollars, now trades at around 3-4 dollars...
