Samsung Electronics, the Korea based electronics and telecommunications giant have now come up with a mini version of the Samsung Galaxy S III the flagship phone of the company. The phone is to be launched on 11th October in Germany. Sources have reported that this phone has been specifically targeted for the European market segments. Samsung has been continually adapting to the changing trends in different markets of the world. With the already successful range of S series comprising of S, S II and S III, Samsung is taking a leap ahead from another android competitor with a middle segment phone in the form of Galaxy S III Mini.

While the name suggests a reduced screen size, the phone is still believed to be a power punching device packaged efficiently. The phone is capable of delivering awesome graphics at a decent screen resolution which a very good feature is considered the mid sized phones and their seriously chaotic resolution problems. Another major step that can affect the popularity of the phone is its choice of camera. The phone is reported to be incorporated with a 5 megapixel optimal zoom camera which is quite easy going in its segment.

While some may argue that Samsung Galaxy S III Mini will open a new segment in the smartphone market, the experts believe that it has just thinned the line between mid-higher phones and the ultimate sophisticated smartphones in the Android world. Contrary to many predictions around the world, Samsung came up with the idea of a mini S3 before its S4 project keeping in mind the demands of youth over the world and especially Europe where a 4inch sized mini is believed to be easy for carrying around rather than a full 4.8 inch S3. This is primarily the reason why the Galaxy S III has been developed so fast in the Samsung R&D wing and is scheduled to be launched in Germany on 11th October. This means that the phone will be one of the premiere devices to look out for at the end of the year based on its performance and the sales figures. Definitely the numbers are with Samsung and the phone is believed to have a life cycle of 15 months.

Speaking about the technical specifications, the phone has STE processing chips that are capable to clock at 1 GHz which is fast enough to run the Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS. Some fans believe the phone will even be capable to run the Jelly Bean when it launches fully with a stable version.

The European phone market is quite different from the American and rightly so, Samsung decided to act quickly on the surging demand for a standard sized yet powerful smartphone device which resulted in the design of Samsung Galaxy S III Mini. The phone which is going to be unveiled in Germany on 11th has already started surging in popularity among the fans all round the world. Now the wait is over and world may witness the path breaking device in the mid range series from Samsung.

The two tech giants, Samsung and Apple suing each other for patent infringement is included in most discussions among techies. Even those who don’t bother to watch what’s happening, have to watch Samsung’s ads trying to show iPhone 5 as inferior compared to its Galaxy Note. When a verdict is passed and things seemingly cool down, there starts another war in a few days. Both, Samsung and Apple have grown into enormous giants that they now want to slay the rival and rule the future. The verdict that ordered Samsung to pay almost $1.05 billion to Apple has served a strong blow to Samsung. There have been hilarious rumors spreading about Samsung that it sent 30 trucks filled with 5 cent coins to pay the $1.05 billion to Apple. Though it was soon announced that it was just a troll against Samsung, it became so very popular that many media firms reported it as the latest news.

Samsung is now ready to spend millions of dollars on suing its rival and capture the market. However, it continues to face hardship continually because Apple is a challenging competitor to Samsung. There’s a lot of backfiring and sharp criticism for both the companies. They are now engaged in making efforts tirelessly to make the other rest in peace. There seems to be no end to the patent battle.

The Recent Lawsuit:

While apple keeps adding several of Samsung’s devices such as the Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note 10.1, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS to the list of products that have to be banned from sale, Samsung has come up with another suit against Apple claiming that it has copied Samsung’s technology. As soon as the iPhone 5 was available for sale, Samsung began its investigation against Apple and has listed 8 patent infringements including 2 Standards Patents and 6 Features Patents. It filed the suit on the very same day that the U.S. ban imposed in June, on the sale of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 was lifted. There are no new patent infringements identified by Samsung. All the eight alleged infringements were already identified in earlier iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

These patent infringements are added to its original suit which is still not brought to trial. The original suit claims that Apple’s iPod Touch, iPad and iPhone infringed on Samsungs mobile broadband patents. The suit was filed with the same court which awarded Apple the billion dollar verdict. Samsung’s attorneys have called Apple’s iPhone 5 as an accused device, its functionality as accused functionality, and the versions as accused versions, which will surely make millions raise brows. Samsung has requested the court to consider the additions in the same trial and also stated that they will file a separate suit if not done so. The trial will be held in 2014, and by the time both companies would have launched new smartphones and tablets. Lucy Koh, the judge who presided over the previous litigations will handle this suit, too.

These trials and verdicts have turned people’s attention from enjoying technology to exploring patents. The trolls lurk in news firms spreading new rumors to make the patent battle fiercer day by day. We will have to wait until 2014 to know the result of this lawsuit, before which numerous other suits are expected to be filed against other devices that will be launched.

Apple has really tried to renovate the previous model of iPhone 4S with some excellent features and adjustments in both the hardware and software departments. The new iPhone 5 seems to be the best and most elegant phone till date ever produced by humans as far as the design, features and inherent specs are concerned. You will get larger display, 4G LTE, easy navigation and much faster A6 processor. Apart from getting lighter, it has been completely redesigned to suit your interests and needs.

Light, thin and fast iPhone 5

The company has addressed nearly all the issues that have been raised by experts and valued users. It is for the first time in the history of Apple that it has enlarged the display size to massive 4-inch with an elegant resolution of 1126 into 640 pixels. Company firmly believes that larger screen extension will make it impossible to operate the iPhone 5 with single hand. Even with the increase in the display size, the new smartphone is astonishingly 20% lighter and 18% thinner as compared to predecessor iPhone 4S. iPhone 5 will not contain any sign of plastic now.

The brand new Lightning connector has replaced the previous 30-pin device which is a great move towards revolution. Moreover, it can be connected with either of the side. It is quite smaller and makes you capable of easy charging even in the dark night. Unlike iPhone 4S, the new smartphone will shoot pictures at 8 megapixels with 40% faster rate however; the iSight camera has been reduced in size by 25%. You should be thankful to the A6 processor for reducing noise while image processing. There is an extra panorama feature which allows you to capture a single photo up to 240 degrees. You will be further capable of enjoying FaceTime with greater interests as Apple has upgraded the front facing camera to 720p resolution.

Connectivity

After all, you have got to use the LTE 4G enabled phone with iPhone 5 with lesser power consumption. The Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n greatly supports the frequencies of 5GHz and 2.4 GHz. Apart from having GLONASS and GPS for locations, Bluetooth 4.0 is also there in the device.

Performance

Apple has rolled out this smartphone with A6 ARM chip processor which is capable of outperforming most of the other processors in the market today. The brand new processor comprise of two 32-bit LPDDR2 memory channels and three GPU cores. In the operating system of iOS6, you will be really fascinated to surf the internet, play games and shoot photos in panoramic mode. You can reap the pleasure of playing brilliant games such as Offroad Legends, Infinity Blade II and CSR Racing.

Battery Backup

Apple boasts of offering you 40 hours of music, eight hours of LTE browsing, 3G browsing & 3G talk time; 10 hours of Wi-Fi browsing and standby duration of 225 hours which seems to be quite impressive.

Usage

The calling quality is excellent and Ear Pods have been the latest innovation for iPhone 5. Apple has introduced some new features such as virtual wallet, Passbook and Do Not Disturb facility which protect your ultimate privacy in night or meeting.

Windows Phone maybe the underdog in the mobile operating system industry. Although it doesn’t have as much hype surrounding as it’s rivals, the iOS and Android, it does have a following that as been growing quickly, especially recently. With the Windows Phone 8 update, we’re seeing plenty of improvements, some that may surprise users and critics alike. While the Windows Phone OS will not be strong competition for it’s rivals any time soon, it is quickly growing towards becoming a solid contender. With their highly anticipated flagship phones, the HTC Windows Phone 8X and the Nokia Lumia 920, hype is building for the latest update. Here are some of the things we can expect from Windows Phone 8.

Navigation and Maps: the previous installment of the Windows Phone OS left something to be desired, with Microsoft’s Bing Maps. However, with the latest version, Windows Phone is taking a huge leap forward, thanks to NAVTEQ Maps. Rivaling the features of Google Maps, NAVTEQ Maps has much to offer the user, including: public transportation routing, turn-by-turn directions, 3D buildings, and even caching for offline use. Considering Apple’s huge slip up with the utterly disappointing Maps services featured in their iOS6, Windows Phone definitely surprised critics with it’s Maps improvement.

User Interface: considering we’ve seen little to no improvements or revolutionary changes to smartphone interfaces lately (iPhone’s icons have not change, and remain uninformative and stagnant, and Android’s highly customizable widgets and icons tend to be messy and difficult to manage) Windows Phone 8 has, by far, the most intuitive and user friendly home screen and icon system on the market. Surprising, for sure, but the “Live Tile” system is unlike any other. Not only can you organize and customize the tiles by breaking them down and dividing them, you can choose what information is shown on each tile. At a glance, you can see more than just how many unread messages you have, at a glance you can see detailed information including updates from social networks, upcoming events on your calendar, recent emails, chat, messages and of course Facebook integration through out.

Mobile Payments: although all major operating systems are picking up mobile payments services, Windows Phone 8 is by far the most advanced, and the most safe. “Wallet” uses NFC elements stored on your SIM card to conduct safe and secure payments, and with all major card companies and partners on board, you’ll have more support and chances to use it. Not even Android or Apple can say that.

Streaming Media: Thanks to SmartGlass, you can stream media to your xbox using DLNA, manageable from a simplified app on your Windows Phone. Transfers between your xbox, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices is fast and easy.

Apple’s recently released iOS6 update includes several significant changes to its mobile operating system. One of the more notable changes is the inclusion of the new Apple Maps app, which replaces Google Maps as the standard mapping program.

It’s unclear why Apple decided to drop a proven solution in favor of their own variant, but many suspect Apple wanted to replace a key component of their iOS software; a component that was supplied by a major competitor. Another theory is that Google changed their licensing terms which made including Google Maps as part of the new iOS cost prohibitive.

Regardless of the reasoning, the swap is complete. The tried and tested Google Maps app is no longer part of the iOS package. Apple’s attempt to replace Google Maps has been met with mostly unfavorable opinions among iOS users.

Apple has a track record of changing the way people use technology. Apple’s recent hardware and software developments have provided the consuming public with several examples of well-integrated, highly polished and very functional mobile devices.

This trend does not apply to the recently released Apple Maps.

Apple has produced a mapping application that looks great. The interface is highly polished and intuitive, exactly what we have come to expect from recent Apple products. The functionality of the app is what has Apple iOS users confused.

The app has been described as lacking, with unfinished functionality. The basic functions of a mapping app are present, but many of the features that users have come to expect from Google Maps are missing. Other features are implemented so poorly that they’re almost useless. Apple has released what feels like a first generation mapping application, similar to what Google Maps was like in its early days. Many users feel that considering Apple is on a 6.0 operating system; their mapping app could have been more complete before release.

The truth is it falls short of the removed Google Maps in many ways.

Much of the confusion stems from Apple Maps’ decision over which features (landmarks and neighborhoods) are labeled on the map. Zooming in to a city shows that obscure places are labeled, while prominent areas are left out. The same strange choices are applied to landmarks. However Apple Maps decides which areas and objects to highlight has left many users questioning the usefulness of the app.

Apple Maps also has a problem with street addresses. It knows where you are and will give you the correct location. The broken functionality shows when you try to find an address. It often mixes up cities and boroughs when searching for a street address. It will match the street name and address with what you want, only in a different city. Entire neighborhoods are misrepresented and it one situation, a major city is misnamed.

Google’s Street View has become a popular and relied upon feature of its mapping application. Apple’s attempt to duplicate the functionality with its Flyover feature is a good first attempt. Like Street View, it’s likely to take Apple just as long to develop it into a fully functional feature. As of now, it’s limited to a few select cities and not particularly useful.

Google Maps was useful for more than driving directions.

It was a useful tool for those on foot and those who frequented public transit. Those same users are reporting that public transit information is completely missing from Apple Maps, making it necessary for users to use their web browser to obtain limited functionality from Google Maps.

For those who use their mapping application as a GPS in their vehicle, Apple’s onscreen display is also lacking when compared to its competition. The fonts are too small making vital information hard to read. Speed limits are missing and there is no easy way to replay missed voice commands.

Apple has also attempted to include shared traffic information within its mapping software. Users are still unclear on what Apple’s implementation of a red dotted line is trying to show. Compared to the useful shaded areas on Google Maps, the dotted lines are not particularly useful for avoiding traffic.

The 21st of September 2012 saw the worldwide release of the latest instalment in Apple’s market leading iPhone series. The iPhone 5 was as eagerly anticipated as every previous version has been, perhaps even more so due to the iPhone 4S’ status amongst fans as a stop-gap rather than a full upgrade. As with previous releases, the launch of the iPhone 5 saw long queues outside Apple stores of people desperate to get their hands on the new technology.

A Real Upgrade

Perhaps this level of excitement can be attributed to the fact that this is a brand new iPhone. With the exception of the addition of Siri, the iPhone 4S was effectively no different to the iPhone 4. The look and feel of both phones was virtually identical. The iPhone 5, however, has been redesigned. It is thinner, lighter, more powerful, and has a larger screen.

What this means is that people who were reluctant to upgrade from the iPhone 4 to the 4S will be more willing to spend their money on the iPhone 5. This is borne out by the initial sales figures released by Apple. The iPhone 4S sold approximately four million units in its first three days on sale last year. This is a very impressive amount, but is substantially less than the five million units of the iPhone 5 sold during its first weekend of release. It should be noted that the iPhone 5 was launched in nine countries, whereas the 4S was only launched in seven. There were, however, twice as many pre-orders for the iPhone 5 compared to the 4S.

Stock Level Concerns

Not all of those pre-orders have been fulfilled, however. The huge level of demand for the new iPhone has resulted in Apple being unable to supply stores with all of the stock they needed. They quickly took steps to maximise capacity, and with production increased analysts estimate that over ten million units of the new iPhone will have been shipped by the end of September. There is no estimate for how many sales were missed due to these initial supply issues. Despite this, the sales achieved by the iPhone 5 on its first weekend on release have broken all previous records. It is already another huge success for Apple at a time when the company faces strong competition from rival smartphone manufacturers. This competition, combined with the fact that Tim Cook has overseen this launch after the death of Steve Jobs, has meant that Apple is under constant pressure to release innovative and market leading technology. Perhaps as a result of this pressure some analysts have argued that initial sales of the iPhone 5 have not met expectations. There were claims before the launch that first weekend sales of anything less than six million units would be disappointing, and some sales predictions were as high as ten million units. Whether such expectations were unrealistically high to begin with is a matter for debate. Apple certainly appear to be happy with the sales figures they have released, and it is important to point out that it is very early days for this new iPhone. With over five million units sold in its first weekend on sale alone, it seems very likely that the iPhone 5 will be considered a success within the technology industry.

A guest post by Bristol IT Support.

Following a thoroughly well received showing at E3, the upcoming Assassin’s Creed 3 is already shaping up to be one of the biggest titles this Christmas – no mean achievement when it’s up against Halo 4, Resident Evil 6, Dishonored and the launch of WiiU. But then it is the biggest Assassin’s Creed so far and a leap from old Europe to the New World. In this preview we’ll explore an appetite-whetting new range of features.

Perhaps the most central change in Assassin’s Creed 3 is the move away from Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the familiar Renaissance Italian assassin and ladies man. Connor Kenway is half Native American, half English and a very different sort of chap, most importantly because one of his priorities is defending his people. While he still has to fight age-old enemy the Templars, he’s also motivated to prevent Native American land being carved up and sold to the highest bidder. It’s a somewhat more noble set of ambitions than his forebears, allowing for greater depth to his character.

Another shift is in the environment, which no longer keeps Connor confined to cities and settlements, instead setting him free in the American wilderness. Its trees are certainly multi-levelled and dense undergrowth supplies potential for stealth, but it’s a far cry from Rome and Constantinople in both feel and structure. Even in town, buildings are lower and the Red Coats more alert to his presence, meaning movement requires more stealth than it used to.

This also makes fights tougher, because enemies come in greater numbers and many carry pistols or rifles, which means you can be fending off a group, while more soldiers gather behind you effectively setting up a miniature firing squad. Caution is needed and even in single combat, parrying now demands following onscreen button prompts in a QTE style. It works to give a greater feeling of control and skill when fending off attackers and turning their own lunges against them, but also makes combat a trickier and more focused experience.

Fighting animals takes persistence too, not least because many need to be tracked through the forest using clues they inadvertently leave behind. Once discovered tactics will vary, for example bears endure a lot of damage before going down and wolves hunt in packs, making them an adversary not to underestimate in the early stages of the game. However once slain, all animals can be skinned and their pelts fetch a reasonable price when traded in a town.

Although cities are small by comparison with Renaissance Europe – even the bustling American port of Boston is nowhere near the size of ancient Florence – and trading settlements even smaller, there’s plenty to do on entering one, from gambling and games to trading, to the usual selection of carry and fetch and assassination side missions. You’ll also find more buildings to enter, both to do business and in ‘implied interiors’ as Connor swings through an open window in an attempt to evade pursuers.

In a complete departure from past Assassin’s Creed games, you will now also take to the high seas, a feature only alluded to in past instalments. This outing features full bore naval engagements, requiring use of tactics as you weave around enemy ships, using cannons to weaken or sink the stragglers, before swinging onboard larger vessels with muskets and cutlasses. Ship-to-ship combat is a fully realised part of the game and also provides plenty of explosive visual spectacle.

The latest Assassin’s Creed is shaping up not only to be a fascinating departure for a well established and hugely popular series, but also a massive game in its own right. Along with a main story that promises to be several times the size of early Assassin’s Creeds, the range and richness of side quests make this an enormous and incredibly ambitious title, not to mention its deeper story, more rounded hero and broader armoury. In a Christmas season with a raft of triple-A games, this is already one of the stand-outs.

The Apple may be a king in the market of 10-inch tablet PCs, but can they succeed in the 7-inch tablet market? Now that the wait for the iPad Mini, which is rumored to be released next month, is getting hotter, can Apple really expect it to topple Amazon’s Kindle Fire? With Amazon’s tablet line up ranging from the $159 Kindle Fire to the latest $499 Kindle Fire 8.9-in. HD 4G, Amazon is a threat against Apple’s throne. With its latest Kindle, many Apple users have decided to sell their old iPads for the Amazon’s latest product. Can the iPad Mini be Apple’s winning gun here?

According to Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, the $499 tablet PC they released is a rival against Apple’s iPad. He claims that with the Kindle Fire’s annual data package ($49.99), consumers will see “more than $400 in year-one savings” compared to the iPad and a comparable data plan.

Because of the success of Amazon tablet PCs, many people say that Amazon is now Apple’s number one competitor. However, some analysts disagreed. Brian White, of Topeka Capital markets, noted that although there are new features and upgrades from the original version of the Kindle Fire, there will be even greater confidence “that the iPad will continue to dominate the tablet market at the mid-to-high end.” He also added that the 4G version of the Kindle Fire will have “a difficult time gaining traction, while the November 20 dates are much too far into the future.”

ISI Group’s Brian Marshall seems to agree with White because he was certain that Apple has nothing to worry about. He said that although Amazon’s new products seem impressive, Apple will still dominate the platform of choice for tablet PCs and smartphones. With the release of the new iPad, many indeed are still selling their old iPads for the new ones.

According to some analysts, there are several factors that would help Apple maintain their dominance in the market, like the App Store (which has more apps than Amazon’s), the iCloud Storage and synchronization service, and especially the rumored launch of the smaller iPad next month. For White and Marshall, the iPad Mini will be Apple’s ace card. They even believe that the iPad Mini might surpass the sales of the regular-sized iPad.

Amazon is apparently not scared about these threats, since according the Bezos, they will offer a Kindle Fire HD with 1,280 x 800-pixel display for only $199 on September 14, and also a Wi-Fi version for $299 later in November. These prices would be the ballpark for iPad Mini, according to the analysts. There is sure to be a battle between Apple and Amazon in the coming months.

Still, even though it seems that Amazon has the upper hand, Moorhead said that “The sheer fact that Apple will launch a tablet at that low price will bring in consumers in swarms.” He added, “Yes, consumers will be able to get the Kindle Fire HD 8.9-in. tablet with 1,920 by 1,200-pixel resolution for $299, but they’re also not getting the Apple brand and experience.”

For them, Amazon will not be able to unseat Apple even with an impressive line of products in the coming months. People will surely sell their old iPads, not to buy a Kindle tablet, but to prepare themselves for the coming of the iPad Mini.

Lee Byung-Chull founded a small trading company in South Korea with 40 employees under him in 1938. The main sources of business were groceries and their signature was the noodles they made. Though the business prospered, he was forced to close it down during the Korean War. The War was a temporary glitch to his thirst for challenges. He then went ahead and prospered in the cotton business. He had a vision of making his company a leader in multiple enterprises. His dream did come true and his company, Samsung stands tall in world business today.

Samsung became a global company in the 1990′s. They became known for their electronic devices and one of the leading providers in the computers industry. They have come a long way with PCs and their latest innovation is the Series 7 slate PCs that might rule the world in future! The signature of 7 slates is going to be the detachable keyboard. Yup! You can either use touch screens or the keyboard to use the notebook!

The announcement of Series 7 Slate PCs:

Samsung made public the Series 5 and 7 Slate PCs in Berlin’s IFA Consumer Electronics Show. The PCs can be converted to a tablet or notebook using the attachable keyboard. The systems run on the latest Windows 8 OS.

Features:

The Series 7 Slate PCs will feature an 11.6 inch touch screen with 1920×1080 resolution that can be attached to the keyboard using hinges. The reason for choosing mechanical over magnetic hinges is to ensure the screen stays secure in one place. You can use it anywhere you like and the detachable keyboard makes it easier to carry around and store in a place.

Samsung’s signature on Galaxy notes nicknamed “S Pen”, a stylus is part of the Series 7 Plates. You can take handwritten notes or sketch without any trouble. The series 7 is designed for power users and are the targeted audience. It has an Intel i5 Core processor, 128 gigabyte state drive to give better boost to start-ups and more in-built memory. It has a Gigabit Ethernet and 4.0 Bluetooth. An interesting feature is the front and rear facing camera. The Series 7 slates are going to be priced around $1,199 each. This might be a tad bit expensive for an 11.6 inch screen.

What can we expect from Samsung’s Series 7 Slate PCs?

For those who hate to use the touch screen for typing, but wish to carry light-weight devices this will definitely make a great buy. Samsung has gone an extra mile to make their upcoming series impeccable in design and technology. The detachable keyboard seems to be the point-of-focus for this latest release. Though the overall design is smooth and stylish, it doesn’t look too different from the previous versions.

The success of the Slate banks hugely on its Windows 8 Operating System. If Samsung delivers the promised battery life along with the user friendliness of Windows – it might become a force to be reckoned in future. Overall, it looks like an efficient device useful for to all users. We cannot predict if the device will be a hit as the technology world has developed so much that innovative products hit the markets almost on a daily basis! However, Samsung might just stand out from others for the quality they offer.
