5 Reasons iPhone is Not What I Wanted - Exposure

Yesterday I was as always browsing the Internet is search of new ideas and concepts to write about my beloved iPhone. Then my eyes caught the title: “5 Reasons iPhone is Not What I Wanted.”

To tell you the truth, I was shocked at such a title. In fact, out there I’m always finding awkward (to put it mildly) titles. But this one is simply astonishing.

Getting interested I decided to read the post. And the 5 facts which as provided there are:

No flexibility of Office suite syncing, editing, formatting
No tap-hold cut/paste function
No selection of multiple emails/texts
It doesn’t do JAVA or FLASH
Security on the iPhone is practically nonexistent

To my mind none of these points can stand its ground. Why? I’ll tell you why

In fact, I’m a Mac user and MS Office seems a strange name to me (of course I know what’s that). It’s been a long time I’ve given up using MS products as they SIMPLY DON’T WORK
Well, after all the iPhone is a phone but not a computer
Old habits die hard, wait for the new generation and all the features you can imaging will be present there
Though a lot of devices have flash and Java, I cannot say that I really need it. I don’t think that I would get happier if you could use these technologies in the iPhone
Security? I just don’t understand that word in connection to the iPhone. Security is something relevant for MS, and as long as iPhone is Apple it is totally secure. All you need to do in order not to ruin that fact is not install applications by unreliable third-party developers. That’s it!

The fact that the iPhone does not the functionality of a PC makes the iPhone an iPhone. A multi-functional mobile device. Moreover, all the lacks and shortcomings of the current version are likely to be corrected in the new version which is to arrive quite soon.

The only thing I’m left to wonder about is the price of the new device. If it is as awesome as everyone expects it might cost a fortune. But if the price is reasonable I will definitely want to have one.

Fake Nude Celebs: iPhone Clones

Apple declares a war on iPhone clones

The inevitable has happened. I expected this sooner or later. Apple’s declaration didn’t take anyone by surprise…wait…in fact it did! Apple was ready to take legal actions against the UK retailer Digital Playground, but fortunately for everybody the affair ended up peacefully.

Let me start from the beginning. It seems that Apple’s legal team is planning to decrease the increasing influx of iPhone fakes (especially the ones coming from the Chinese market via black and grey channels).

Apple has learned its previous mistakes and has covered the iPhone with patents “from top to toe”. This aggressive strategy in general does pay off. The copying of a great number of features beyond the touchscreen seems limited.

Nevertheless, the copyright is here for the Western world, and as we know China is not the Western world, so you see that copyright has rather vague borders there. The country has flooded the US market with hundreds of iPhone fake’s models. Some of there fakes even bare Apple’s logo, which is in its substance simply incredible.
Some of the stores sell these fakes all right. But recently they’ve had lots to think about. The other day Apple came with “all guns blazing” and “big bully boy tactics” against the UK retailer Digital Playground. Apple sent the company a letter saying that unless clones are eliminated from sales Apple will take legal action against the company. Apple accused the clones of having “the same overall impression as Apple’s registered design.”

The companies came to an agreement before the case went to court. Apple not only wanted iPhone fakes out of sales but also all of them sent to it (as well as the prices, suppliers and all the additional information Apple might need during the investigation). In fact, Digital Playground didn’t have choice!

So, fake iPhone manufacturers fear Apple otherwise they’ll come to you! =)

Cell Phone Classifications: Alcatel, Siemens, Benq –Siemens, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Pantech, Philips, Samsung, Sagem, Sony Ericsson

Recently I’ve got very interested in comparing iPhone to its probable (or better to put it like this – potential) competitors. In order to find which devices can compete with my all-time favorite I decided to learn the classification of phones by the major manufacturers: Alcatel, Siemens, Benq –Siemens, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Pantech, Philips, Samsung, Sagem and Sony Ericsson.

I’m sure that you are aware of the fact that all phones fall into different categories or classes: from simple devices to highly sophisticated smartphones. So what is the classification of phones?

Alcatel

Initially the classification of this manufacturer featured 5 classes:

A – budget phones (are real rear phones)
A+B – youth-oriented phones of the series 30x and 31x
B+ - middle-class phones of the series 50x and 51x
C – expensive 70x series phones
G – image phones which planned for production

From 2005 the company introduced the new system which features 3 classes:

OT-E – budget phones
OT-C – middle class
OT-S – image class

Siemens

A – budget models
C - consumer-level devices
E – economical devices
M – Active lifestyle phones
S - Business class
SL – Image phones
SV – smartphones and multifunctional devices

Benq –Siemens

The scheme of giving names to phones of the young brand Benq–Siemens has been left unchanged: the indexes of phones are named by letters and digits, but the meaning of the symbols proper have changed and t he digital sequence has been violated:

The new names:

P – Smartphones with qwerty keyboard
E – Under the letter the company released a number of devices which fall into different classes, so iti s hard to say anything certain
S- it is the only letter that was left unchanged; these are still business-class devices

The devices are classified according to one feature and it is possible to encounter phones of different price category in the same class

B – Basic level devices
W – WAP-enabled devices
G – GPRS-enabled phones
V – 3G phones
F – Image models
L – Multifunctional phones
C – Middle-class devices

Motorola

Motorola uses letter designations:

A – High-tech devices which feature the latest inventions of the company
V - Image phones
T – Business-class phones
E – Entertainment and youth phones
C – Cheap models
MP – communicators and smartphones

Digits also carry information:

The 1st digit stands for the price category
The 2nd digit – The generation of the phone in the given model line
The 3rd digit – the place of the phone in the given generation
The index “i” stands for modified devices

Apple iPhone Review: iPhone vs. LG Voyager

I was wondering what device comes closest to iPhone in popularity and functionality. In order to find this out I run a Google search and came up with the device that seems to be the biggest competitor of the iPhone. I myself will definitely stick with my iPhone, but, to tell you the truth, the audience supports the other way of thinking.

So, let me introduce to you the most probable iPhone competitor – LG Voyager. When I was researching into the nature of iPhone fakes I never thought that one of those phones can ACTUALLY substitute the iPhone. But I got a comment on the post saying that Voyager was released before the iPhone (so it cannot naturally be its clone), and the functionality of the device is even higher that than of the iPhone. At first I didn’t believe a word from that comment, but gradually I got interested and decided to make a sort of comparison. In my research I relied on the opinions of the audience.
