The New Samsung Continuum

Friday, November 26th, 2010

Although the Samsung Continuum has not been officially released in the U.S., many have already started to seek information on the features and accessories of the phone. It is known that this new Samsung phone will be released on November the 18th by Verizon, and it is known that the smart phone is expected to continue the recent trend of high quality affordable smart phones for beginners and intermediate smart phone users. However, there are still many questions about the notable features of this device, and these are the questions this article intends to answer. The short good news is that the Samsung Continuum will have many features that make it worth buying.

First of all, the Continuum will not deviate from the trend set years ago of including Google’s small but incredibly efficient operating system for smart phones everywhere, Android. It will come with Android 2.1, which provides users features from Google, such as e-mail, chatting, calendar, and documents. Of course, if you do not want to use Google’s applications and just want to use Android, you will have that choice too when you buy the Samsung Continuum.

Regardless of which operating system you use on your new smart phone, you are likely to be impressed by the 3.4 inch screen it is expected to feature. Just like any screen on smart phones today, the Continuum will have a touch screen with a fully digital keyboard for convenience. Like the smart phones offered by Samsung, the screen will have their super AMOLED display, which should give you a crisp and clear picture for movie watching, video conferencing, or even run of the mill texting.

As with other smart phones released by Samsung, there are expected to be all kinds of accessories available for you to purchase, such as a high quality case to protect your phone from unfortunate circumstances such as scratches, bumps, drops, and more. You will also be able to buy extra chargers so you can keep talking while you are on the go, as well as extra batteries, cases, screen protectors, and hands free handsets.

Speaking of batteries, the battery is expected to continue the trend in battery power offered by similar Samsung smart phones in their Galaxy 5 line, such as the soon to be released Zeal and the recently released Galaxy and Mesmerize. In other words, you should expect somewhere around 58 hours of standby time when the phone is not in use, and around 4 to 5 hours of actual talk time when you want to speak to people. Your battery life will depend on several factors, such as adjusting your screen’s brightness and the use of applications.

Accessories for the Brand New Blackberry Style

Friday, November 26th, 2010

Savvy Smartphone users know that their device is not fully equipped until the proper accessories are purchased that will fully complement their multi-media device. This is because it won’t be fully functional until all of the features can be utilized effectively.

Of course, the very first item on the list is some kind case to provide protection for that new phone in order to keep it looking good and protecting it against scratches. The nice thing is that there are many options available to provide this protection and they will vary depending on customer taste. Customers have the option of finding something as simple as a sleeve to slip the phone into if it will be going in a larger item such as a purse. They are relatively cheap and come in a wide variety of colors. This includes leather — very stylish and able to hold up to much abuse over its lifetime. They even come in a swivel style model for users who need fast access and choose to wear their phone on a belt. Some features of the case include a sensor that turns on the display automatically. This is accomplished through a magnetic device and can save on battery life. A strap also holds the Blackberry in place but can be removed as well. At less than $20, this kind of accessory is not only affordable, but can double as a screen protector at the same time.

Another valued item is a charger. Most of these phones come with a wall charger designed to be used with A/C or possibly a car charge for D/C, but many buyers have shown an inclination for a charging pod. These simple devices connect via a USB port from the back of the Blackberry into the pod, allowing the phone to be in use when charging. And these items are inexpensive — typically under $10.

Another most vital accessory is a Bluetooth device to make it hands free. For businessmen or frequent travelers, this can be quite a boon, since it is illegal to drive while talking on the car phone. One can’t go wrong with a Bluetooth on the road, especially when it frees up the hands from using their cellphone on the busy streets.

And for presentations, by making use of the special Bluetooth Presenter technology, it is not necessary to bring along a laptop. This is due to the ability of the Blackberry itself, since the software can perform this task by itself. There are many Blackberry accessories for this most useful Smartphone. As think tanks and regular users are thinking of different ideas and applications, designers are keeping up with different ways to utilize today’s technology to keep everyone connected.

What Made the Iphone a Success Story?

Friday, November 26th, 2010

2007 saw what we now consider the birth of the Smartphone as we know it today, when Apple released its first iPhone to an eagerly awaiting global audience, only happy to part with their cash to get their hands on the latest must have gadget. But what made the device as successful as it was?

Well, touch screen technology was relatively new in terms of commercially available (and relatively affordable) handheld devices at the time. It allowed Apple to do away with a keyboard enabling a bigger screen without making the device too big. This made the Internet browsing experience much better, replicating almost a small hand held computer in many ways.

Email, calls, text messaging, an integrated iPod, access to Youtube, a camera, maps and access to an uncountable number of downloadable applications are all part and parcel of the iPhone. Add to that its ease of use and it’s little wonder that it was such a hit. The applications in particular have proven a massive success. You can download anything from games, to news apps, to utilities and a whole host most. Some are free, some aren’t! But the fact that there are more than 180,000 apps available means there is something for everyone! Since the app store launched, there have been over 3 billion downloads!

Perhaps a somewhat overlooked reason for its success is the way it looks as well. Gadget lovers like a slick looking device and the iPhone fits the bill. Slim and slick looking with a the bare minimum in terms of buttons. Even though the iPhone has since seen the release of the G and, more recently, 3GS, its overall look has remained fairly consistent.

Demand continues to soar and with the imminent UK release of the iPad, Apple’s mobile browsing success story looks set to continue for many years yet to come. Apple is simply satisfying our ever growing desire to be able to browse, text, email and access our social networking sites on the move.
