LG OPTIMUS 4X HD TO COME TO EUROPE

LG certainly has some good smartphones and the LG Optimus 4X HD is one that a lot of people have been waiting for. It was already expected for the Optimus 4X HD to come to Europe sometime this month and as expected, that is exactly what is going on. Some of the countries that will be getting this juicy device are Great Britain, Sweden, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands.

The LG Optimus 4X HD is powered by the NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor. With this being said and done, you are looking at a quad-core smartphone that is certainly irresistible. The screen is a 4.7 inch True HD IPS LCD. The operating system that powers it on the other hand is the Android Ice Cream Sandwich which is certainly the latest and the best of the lot.
Other than that, users will be getting a 1GB RAM, 16GB worth of internal storage, a high capacity 2,150 mAh battery, all for a thickness (or thinnest perhaps) of only 8.9mm. With all of this being said and done, you can expect the LG Optimus 4X HD to be big. However, only time will tell if it can compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S III or the iPhone 4S for that matter.

ASUS TRANSFORMER PAD TF300

ASUS certainly makes some good tablets and the Transformer Prime was an example of that. It was one of the first tablets that featured a quad- core processor and the price can be considered to be quite cheap at that time as well. However, those that want to get a cheaper alternative can look forward to the ASUS Transformer Pad TF300.

Sporting a 10 inch screen with IPS display, the ASUS Transformer Pad gives out accurate colors with a good viewing angle. Inside it is the Tegra 3 goodness that was already present in the Transformer Prime and along with it is a 1GB RAM as well. The performance on this device is still one of the best in the market and with its cheap price, it might be a favourite of many as well. Other interesting features include an 8MP camera at the back and also the dock which is quite synonymous with the ASUS tablet series.
Battery life on the other hand stands at around 8 hours although this number is 2 more when you connect it to the docking station. As far as the pricing is concerned, it is only $379 for the 16GB version and $399 for the 32GB. To get any other tablets at this price with similar specs would be hard if not impossible.

IPS TABLET GOODNESS FOR $150 FROM XTEX

As of date, the only noteworthy tablet that comes with an IPS screen and falls under the $150 is the refurbished version of the Kindle Fire. The new one would set you back for about $199. Nonetheless, it doesn’t mean that a less reputable country can’t make the same device for $150. We are taking about the My Tablet by Xtex.

This is a 7-inch tablet that comes with an IPS screen. This type of display is known for its color accuracy and sharpness but it isn’t available to a lot of tablets. In addition to that, it has a 1.5 GHz CPU along with 1GB worth of RAM. The storage space on the other hand is 16GB although this is expandable to up to 48GB through the microSD card slot which supports expansion of up to 32GB.
Xtex My Tablet costs only $150 which is certainly cheaper than most tablets. In fact, its features certainly make it quite a worthy purchase especially for those that are in need of a cheap tablet. As it is powered by Android ICS, you can be certain that you are getting one of the latest operating system that the company has to offer. Besides, $150 isn’t a lot of money considering that you are spending that much on a tablet..

IPHONE 5 MANUFACTURING DEFECTS FOUND ON BRAND NEW UNITS SCUFFGATE, ANYONE? ANYONE?

Apple’s iPhone 5 has been subject to scathing criticism for its less than stellar mapping software and disappointing battery life. Sadly for the iMaker, the complaints don’t end there, amid reports that the handset also suffers from scratches and dents out of the box.

An increasing number of early adopters who picked up one of the record five million iPhone 5s sold over the weekend are reportedly taking their brand new handsets out of the packing only to discover small but noticeable scuffmarks and discolouration in the anodised aluminium casing.

This is despite the Cupertino-based giant comparing the iPhone 5’s fit and finish to that of a “finely crafted watch”, with the sort of meticulous attention to detail that its iProducts are typically known for.

Apple’s website states: “Look at iPhone 5 and you can’t help but notice the exquisite chamfer surrounding the display. A crystalline diamond cuts this bevelled edge. It’s what gives iPhone 5 its distinctive lines. Fitting for a phone so brilliant.”

Unfortunately, the discovery of manufacturing defects don’t bode too well for those claims and is sure to cause the tech titan further blushes following the Maps debacle.

It’s unclear exactly how many units are affected. Even though these are mostly just cosmetic and don’t affect how the handset functions, buyers will feel they deserve better for the money they are shelling out.

As is custom, Apple has yet to comment on the imperfections. We’ll be sure to let you know when we find out more.

Have you found any dents or chips on your brand new iPhone 5? Let us know below.

Why Apple is Most Valuable Company in terms of Profit and Revenue

Apple seems to be the insuperable sultan among technology providers today. No wonder that the decade’s golden arena has raised the company to possibly become the world’s most valuable company ever.

Here is how the elusive feat was possibly achieved. 

Apple went past the record revenue of $620 billion set by Microsoft in 1999. The company has made a whopping $623 billion. Its stock values rose rapidly owing to optimism over the release of the iPhone 5 and a possible smaller and inexpensive iPad. It has continued to be the world’s most valuable company since last year and today it is possible the most valuable one “ever”.

According to analysts Apple, iPhone revenues piled up more than Microsoft as the former is worth more than Google and Microsoft put together. Apple had already grabbed the number one status on the worth of the company, overtaking Exxon Mobil a year ago.

Share prices up due to two major players:

The impending arrival of the fifth generation iPhone after the success of its previous generation smartphones is a major cause of the increase in Apple’s share prices. The rumor over apple’s new cut-piece iPad is yet another share-price booster. 

Microsoft, the unhappy rival:

    

Obviously, it would take a while before Microsoft could come to terms with this new change. The former leader hit back stating that the definition of criteria for being the most valuable company is not all that good. It has also claimed that its long-lasting enterprise client relationship is better than that of Apple’s. Hence it could do businesson a larger scale than that of Apple.

Apple’s ‘Think Different’ slogan:

Apple has come a long way with the ‘think different’ motto. Analysts believe that the company has lot of room to grow further. Apart from the iPad and iPhone, Apple’s plan to make television sets would complete its share of customer electronic product offers. Apple has always made it a point not to comment on its upcoming products until the last few days of release. 

Arguments against Apple’s new status:

According to issues published in Techcrunch and few other technology review sites, Apple may not be the most valuable company ever. It further suggests that neither Apple nor Microsoft is the world’s most valuable companies. It’s IBM that tops the chart.  

These sources claim that Apple takes the number one spot without taking the inflation into account. One the contrary, IBM is the historic winner.

There are few other sources claiming that Microsoft is the definite leader when the inflation is taken into account. They say Apple has had an incredible run but its development is not enough to grab the crown as the most valuable company ever. Apple would have been the clear winner if the inflations were not taken into account. But even Steve Jobs would not have had the pleasure in winning the title with the ‘ifs and buts’ in place.

Techcrunch also agrees that Apple has all the ingredients to become the most valuable company if it grows at this rate. The New York Times predicts that Apple would be worth $3 trillion by 2020 which is greater than the gross domestic product of Brazil and France. 

Whatever said and done, Apple is definitely on a role. Just like the Apple fruit, the Apple Company seems to have tremendous strength. Watch out for its upcoming products and market shares. The future could be all about Apple.

Apple's iPhone and iPad Sales Competition in Q4

According to the latest Sales Report from IHS conducted competition between Appleproducts in Q4 of 2011. It has been observed that tablet market is really going higher with the maximum revenue from Apple iPad and iPad 2 and also from Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet. But according to the report Apple's iPad is actually facing competition with its own sibling iPhone in terms of most selling in Q4 of 2011. No doubt that Apple'siPad generation tablets have beat Amazon's Kindle Fire in term selling but still it’s far behind as compare to Apple iPhone Smartphone.

IHS report has mentioned that in the last three months of 2011, Apple shipped 15.4 million iPads and iPad 2s. During that same period, Apple slipped from 64% of the global media market to 57%. Apple's CEO Tim Cook has also recently revealed that the company sold more iOS devices last year than it sold Macs in 28 years. According to Rhoda Alexander, IHS Senior Manager; “Shipments of the iPad line fell short of IHSestimates in the fourth quarter as many loyal Apple customers devoted their dollars to shiny new alternatives,” However, the primary alternative wasn’t the Kindle Fire which debuted to solid sales in the fourth quarter but Apple’s own iPhone 4S smartphone. The rollout of the iPhone 4S in October generated intense competition for Apple purchasers’ disposable income, doing more to limit iPad shipment growth than competition from the Kindle Fire and other media tablets.”

Watch the following video of Mashable to know more about iPhone and iPad Selling Competition:

Apple TV can run fullscreen iOS Applications - Unofficially

Apple TV is one of the low budget Apple iOS device from a company which provides total entertainment to its users. The price of the Apple TV is low as $99.00 contains powerful hardware specification includes Apple A4 chipset with a PowerVR SGX535 and 256 megabytes of RAM, running modified iOS builds from those on iPods touch, iPhone touch, and iPad touch. Apple TV exists as a media center settop box officially but users can also Run any iOS Applications including apps from iPhone, iPod and iPad on jailbroken Apple TV unofficially.

There is one video available on internet which provides you an evidence of runningiOS Apps on Apple TV. The video shows demo of some iOS Apps like Facebook, Maps, Safari and YouTube on a jailbroken Apple TV. This is not AirPlay, the apps are running directly from the Apple TV and scaling to 720p. 

According to MacDaddy News, MobileX is a window manager for iOS that replaces Springboard, letting iPhone and iPad apps run on the Apple TV. Since the Apple TV doesn’t have a touch screen, they are using a combination of VNC, SSH and the Apple Remote to launch and navigate apps. Once the app progress finalized by two developers, you will be able to launch apps using only the remote. I think its one of the cheapest way to run iOS Apps directly on $99 Apple TV.
