Apple iPhone 5 review

2012-11-13T20:57:00.001+07:00

The iPhone 5. As in five million units sold over the course of a … weekend. Can't say no to that. This is the latest installment in the smartphone series that changed the mobile phone industry and we can understand people couldn't wait. Now, what is it they couldn't wait for?
The Apple iPhone 5 brings the long anticipated larger screen and more capable internals that we already know are ready to trade blows with the most powerful chipsets out there.

Apple iPhone 5 official photos
There's also the new slender, slimmer body that no photos really do justice to. If all of Apple's claims are true then the iPhone 5 is a real engineering masterpiece - double the performance in a more compact package without sacrificing anything in terms of battery life.
They could've done worse. A lot worse. But this is Apple telling you to prepare to be wowed. So you have every right to play hard-to-please.

Key features

Quad-band GSM and quad-band 3G support with 14.4 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA

1.2MP secondary front-facing camera

Accelerometer, proximity sensor and a three-axis gyro sensor
Active noise cancellation with a dedicated secondary microphone
Standard 3.5 mm audio jack, stereo Bluetooth v4.0
Excellent audio output quality (though worse than 4S)
Apple Maps with free voice-guided navigation in 56 countries
Voice recognition, Siri virtual assistant
Supports HD Voice (needs carrier support too)
FaceTime video calls over Wi-Fi and cellular
Impressively slim and light
Great battery life

Main disadvantages

Aluminum body looks cool but is easy to scratch
Proprietary connector, incompatible with previous-gen accessories (needs adapter)
The new display is not proportionally bigger, but only taller
Unadapted apps run letterboxed due to the unusual resolution
nano-SIM support only
Apple Maps app not up to scratch
No USB Mass Storage mode
No FM radio
No stereo speakers
No microSD card slot
No NFC connectivity (though that may be nitpicking)
Stuck with iTunes for loading content
Mono audio recording in videos

Should the iPhone 5 be worried about not doing quite enough in terms of new design and features? That question sounds ridiculous considering the sales numbers. But there's a long-term perspective that goes beyond a record-breaking opening weekend.

The Apple iPhone 5 live photos
People who thought the iPhone 4S was a half-hearted effort, are rightfully expecting the iPhone 5 to be the real upgrade of the brilliant iPhone 4. In the end, though, there's more to a smartphone's real worth than dry specs. Apple has, on multiple occasions, been able to produce devices that are better than the sum of their parts and few will be surprised at the iPhone 5 pulling off a similar trick.

We also took the Black and Slate version for a spin
There's no time to waste, so follow us to the next page for the unboxing and hardware inspection of Apple's latest. We'll also take a close look at that sweet new display and see whether the claims about it being the most advanced in business hold water.

iPhone 5 review

2012-11-02T12:45:00.000+07:00

Thinner. Lighter. Faster. Simpler. The moment the iPhone 5 was unveiled we knew that it was checking off all the right boxes, folding in all the improvements and refinements people have been demanding over the past year -- yet plenty of folks still went to their respective social networks to type out their bitter disappointment. iPhone upgrade ennui seemed to be sweeping the nation, a sentiment that appeared to quickly dissipate when it came time for people to vote with their wallets.

The iPhone 5 is here -- or will be soon, anyway -- and it's every bit the device that people were asking for when the iPhone 4S came out. Its new design has less mass yet leaves room for a larger display and LTE wireless, all while increasing battery life. In nearly every respect, this is an upgrade over the 4S that came before, though it arrives almost a year later than many had hoped. Is it too late to keep pace with the rapidly iterating Android offerings, or is it so good it was worth waiting for? The answer lies below.

Kindle Fire For iPhone Theme Is Now Available For Download

2011-11-07T00:59:00.002+07:00

Aside from the release of the original iPad last year, followed by its predecessor back in March, it’s hard to recall a tablet surrounded by more buzz in the technology world than Amazon’s Kindle Fire.

It’s been just over a month since Amazon announced the sequel to the first, unquestionably game-changing Kindle; and the new dual-core, Android-based device looks well and truly set to reach the kind of sales numbers currently unique to iPad.
With 250,000 pre-orders in its first week, it certainly looks as though Amazon has hit the spot in terms of features and pricing. Many other tablets in the Kindle Fire’s price range of $200-250 only manage to muster single-core chips, and as such have struggled to make the kind of impression forecast for the Kindle Fire. The company’s CEO Jeff Bezos has said it is ramping up numbers to produce “millions more” to meet the apparently large demand.

It will drop on the 15th of this month, but for those of you who aren’t planning to spend the $199, there is a way you can get a taste of what is in store if you have an iPhone or iPod touch. Developer falcon212 has created a jailbreak tweak which looks, and functions similarly to Amazon’s upcoming tablet.

Aptly named ‘Kindle Fire’ tweak is extremely cool, and works remarkably well. Features include multiple default homescreens, scrollable individual rows, and other interesting widgets. Check out the video for a full overview.

At $2.49, we feel it’s a tad bit expensive. After all, it’s not as though it’s actually bringing anything productive to your device. That said, it’s a nice little tweak and will certainly set your device apart from the rest.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with iPad. Now that would be something if it actually did! We have our hopes up and believe that in a future update, the developer would be kind enough to throw in full support for the iPad.
The Kindle Fire for iPhone is available now under the MacCiti repo. You will need to have DreamBoard installed in order to use it.
You will need to be on a jailbroken iOS device if you wish to install it. You can follow our step by step guide posted here to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch on iOS 4.3.5 using Redsn0w (or PwnageTool), or on iOS 4.3.3 using Redsn0w, PwnageTool, Sn0wbreeze & JailbreakMe (that last one being the easiest). For jailbreaking iOS 5 tethered using Redsn0w, you can follow our complete step by step guide posted here, or here if you want to use Sn0wbreeze on Windows. Since jailbreak on iOS 5 is currently limited to tethered boot only, you can install ‘SemiTether’ patch (instructions here) from Cydia to make your jailbreak semi-tethered on iOS 5. For those of you on iOS 5.0.1 can follow our instructions posted here for semi-tethered jailbreak using Redsn0w and SemiTether.

AYL (TM) Newest Generation Slim Capacitive iPad Stylus with 1 YR Warranty (Spring Pink)

2011-11-06T17:18:00.009+07:00

Image by Jezlyn26 via FlickrImage by Jezlyn26 via FlickrThe AYL (TM) Capacitive stylus pen works on all capacitive touch screens. This is the Latest and Newest Design in the market which is longer, skinnier, and easier to control and use. The dimensions are 5.06 in length, and the diameter of the capacitive rubber tip is no bigger than 1/2" for improved and better accuracy. The rubber tip is durable and soft which will not scratch the screen. A removable tether is included with the stylus pen, which can be attached to the iPad by plugging it in the earphone jack, to carry the stylus pen with ease. The AYL (TM) Capacitive stylus pen is perfectly sized and shaped, and is designed to feel like a pen in the hand.

Most people who purchase the iPad can start using their fingers right away to access the touch screen capabilities of the device. However, there are several reasons and advantages that you would want to use an iPad capacitive stylus pen:

* Touch screens get dirty quickly when fingers are used on them, especially children's fingers!

* Allows finer motor control, improving note-taking and sketching/drawing ability.

* Many people find it easier to use touch screen keypads and buttons using a stylus as a finger substitute.

* It doesn't cost a lot to purchase a capacitive stylus pen, and it can allow you to use the iPad in new and creative ways.
