Android Vs Apple iOS

The Android Vs Apple debate has been raging on for a long time now and it was never this big. For long Apple had been the reigning king of smartphones. Whether it be the simplistic yet beautiful hardware or their efficient software, Apple left most of its competition far behind. But, that was certainly pinching Google. So, as we all know, led to the evolution of Android. The mighty OS which has risen in popularity far surpassing many of the big fish and proving to be a strong competitor to Apple and has resulted in a virtual war of Android Vs Apple iOS.
Most people these days while buying a smartphone are confused between this Android Vs Apple scenario. I have seen people inside stores bugging the sales guys asking whether to go for Apple or Android and hence giving more flame to the Android Vs Apple. Most of you must have gone through the graphs that depict how Android is gaining its market share and Apple has nowhere to go but down. Well, it's all true folks. Recent official trends do suggest that although Apple is holding quite a big chunk of the market share but in a few years it could be quite the opposite. Most of the reasons that are cited for such rapid growth of Android are very obvious to say the least. Whether it be open source OS, a vast majority of app developers, cell-phone manufacturers providing free hardware and what not. Everything, in the raging war of apple vs android seems to be going in Android's way!

Is The iPhone Boom A Business Boon?

We all know how the iPhone frenzy has grabbed popular imagination since it was first announced in Jan 2007. With its cool feature set, slick appearance, powerful computing capabilities, beautiful display and intuitive touch navigation, this poster boy of the mobile generation has captured the imagination of gizmo freaks and tech phobics alike. To get some measure of iPhone's success, one only needs refer to Tim Cook's (Apple's COO) recent statement at a conference - he said that the company had "really good confidence" the company would hit 10 million iPhones sold by the end of 2008.

According to a research from IDC, 70 percent of those polled who own, or plan to purchase an iPhone in the next year, consider it to be for both personal and business use.

Considering the vast proliferation of iPhones in such a short span, it is natural that all those who own a iPhone would want to extend its use to business as well. And it is no joy carrying around a Blackberry and iPhone in either pocket. All that does is to exert extra downward pressure on the belt. It is no wonder then, that iPhone's usability in a business context is a raging debate nowadays. That is still a secondary question, because the fact remains that present and future end users of iPhone see is as something they want to use for business.

Samsung Galaxy S3 (S III) Benchmarked As Samsung Galaxy GT-I9300

A new set of results has just been published after testing of a new Samsung Galaxy model late last month, noted as the Galaxy GT-I9300 which many believe is the model number of the new Samsung Galaxy S3 (S III).
The results of these recent tests through GLBenchmark's suite show a different screen resolution to that of the reported full HD 1080p expected on the new Galaxy S3, instead they show a 1196 x 720 pixel display which is exactly the same as the current Samsung Galaxy Nexus model.
Believed to have been performed by one of Samsung's own employees, the tests also reveal that the processor was listed as 'maxing-out' at 1.4GHz rather than the expected 1.5GHz rumoured to be powering the Galaxy S3, crucially though, there was no information into the number of cores although most now believe that it will no doubt be a quad-core chip.
This is mostly down to the fact that many rival manufacturers are already shipping new smart phone models with quad-core technology, these include the new HTC One X and LG Optimus 4X HD models, what was revealed is the Samsung GT-I9300 tested was running on a Samsung Exynos 4 processing chip which could be either the dual-core Exynos 4212 or most likely the quad-core Exynos 4414.
