Speculations are doing the rounds about the specification of the new hardware, and how the iPhone will be different from the older versions. In order to make the latest iPhone remain miles ahead of the competition, Apple is silently working on it. News is ripe that a Chinese firm Patronage is manufacturing the latest handset for Apple. They are trying to improve its specs, like software, adding new features like apps and accessories. All this will certainly take the iPhone5 to a much higher level of consumer satisfaction. Incorporating 4G LTE access technology is an important part of this improvement. It is also said to be first of its kind in comparison to any other smart phone till date. The large 4’inch curved glass screen along with a thinner built body will make it sleeker and crispier than its earlier versions. It will also sport a much larger retina display along with advanced touch tech. Apple’s iPhone 5 is also expected to be powered by a much higher capacity quad-core processor. Among the major technical improvements of iPhone 5, the 19 pin port smaller dock connector is certainly a noticeable addition.

It is the age of Smart phones, which are gradually eating up market share of ordinary mobile phone companies. Three major platforms are ruling the world of smart phones- Android, i-Phone’s iOS and BlackBerry. Though, BlackBerry ruled in the past decade, particularly among the corporate business community, it failed to retain its position in recent times. BlackBerry with its familiar QWERTY keypad used to be a familiar site among business executives. Research in Motion did a brisk business in the past decade. However with the introduction of Apple’s i-Phone and the Android, BlackBerry fell flat and gradually lost its market share. Some of the key features of i-Phone and Android mobile operating systems that made BlackBerry to lose out key market share are the formers’ price, its stylish and swanky features, user friendly device applications and the support system. Almost overnight the figures changed and Blackberry incurred a loss of a massive share of the smart phone market. Over a long time, BlackBerry followed the same design pattern with almost similar features. This made it somewhat stubborn in this fast changing market. Within a matter of three months RIM lost about 4% market share compared to other competitors. Google’s Android has since been rapidly gaining market share over other similar devices. This has been possible, because Google shared its platform with a large number of manufacturers and it led to its exponential growth. Others (namely Apple’s i-Phone) remained confined into their own cocoon. This has made others to take notice of their current market position. So, what lies ahead of BlackBerry and how will they bring back the lost...

Here’s great news for all gadget lovers across the world– Google is launching its tablet! This follows a long wait including a series of reports about the 7 inch tablet being developed by Taiwan’s Asustek. Finally the wait is over, with sources disclosing that the Google tablet is scheduled for a July launch, pushing it from its earlier May launch. This shift is believed to be an attempt to cut the cost of the tablet down from $249 to almost less than $200. This should enable Google to enter the competition with their competitor in the 7-inch tablet market, Kindle Fire by Amazon costing $199, which has sold over 5 million units in the first quarter of this year. While another competitor which also runs on the Android operating system– Barnes and Noble Color 7 inch touch screen tablet is priced at $169. Despite Apple making attempts to rule the market with the launch of its iPad, the company could hardly maintain its monopoly in the tablet market. With highly expensive gadgets, Apple despite being a pioneer in the market failed to penetrate as much as it expected. And now with the launch of Microsoft and then Google tablets, Apple will have to redesign the price in order to remain in competition. A Florida based Analyst commented “The tablet market is a huge challenge for Google at this point. They need to have a competitive product with the iPad.” No wonder Google is going to use the latest technology for its tablet. The device will run on the Android OS with and Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor. Many are...
