Iphone continues to face fierce competition

Filed under: Technology News, Economic News — eljaysun @ 11:23 pm

I think it is fair to state that the iPhone is not the only game in town, especially these days as it’s competitors fiercly try to cut into it’s share of this trendy and very lucrative market.. Now there’s the new iPhone G3 that Apple Inc. has come out with. As much news coverage as it has had you would think that the Apple iPhones are in a class all their own. This is quite untrue. As a matter of fact, the iPhones have a truckload of competition these days. For them it must feel like the dog days of summer as they fend off assualt after fierce assault. Just do not try for an iPhone repair at the main HQ, better to go with an independent iPhone repair service if you have water damage, cracked 3g screens and the like.

Nonetheless, iPhone is still in fact the most famous mobile phone in the country. After all, individuals will camp out and stand in lines to purchase the latest iPhone when they are released for sale as if they are anticipating the latest batman movie. The iPhone G3 is an even superior handheld gadget than the original and the iPhone G3 is three times faster,  believe it or not, which is really amazing when you stop to think about it…. They come also come in cool new colors of White and Bondai Blue.

Some new items have similar features and even some extra features which the iPhone does not have.  As an example the Cingular 8525 may even be far superior to the iPhone G3. It’s another of the Smart Phones and has all the capabilities as the iPhone. It has a touch screen and also functions as a multi media device. The Cingular 8525 runs Windows Mobile 5.0.

Yet Another cellular device that is similar to the iPhone is Verizons 2 new phones, the LG phone named Venus and another LG phone named The Voyager. LG Electronics makes both these phones. The Voyager has extremely fast web access. In addition to this, the Venus has a touch screen and the keypad slides out.

perhaps the best new cellular device to give the iPhone a true run is the new Samsung Instinct. This one is offered by the Sprint Network and may prove to be even superior in overall performace than the Apple iPhone, although only father time will eb able to tell for sure.

The iPhone has until now, remained the better product but technology is such that many more devices are in the making to compete with the Apple iPhone. Owners of the iPhone absolutely love them but more and more owners are hacking their device to be free of the AT&T network. The network has responded by bring suit against the customer who in fact does. Just watch about the repair servicesMeanwhile, as mentioned on the articles posted just yesterday, the heavyweight Sprint Corp. has been nipping at the heels of their very hip and trendy competitors.

New Product from Sprint Nips at heels of the iPhone 3

Filed under: Technology News — eljaysun @ 5:02 am

The 2 technology Giants, Sprint and Apple, are facing off again a very stiff competition for a very lucrative market. You can bet that investors and market analysts alike will be watching this battle unfold very carefully indeed. And I am not precisely sure what the reason is, but lately there has been a ton of stories regarding laptops, ipods and mobile computing generally and handheld devices specifically. Mobile computing has really come a long way and it has taken a real quantam leap in a short period of time, largely driven by ferocious competition between technology companies and also innovation and the continuation of the size reduction of the veritable microchip as laid out by Moore’s law. Of course, all of this can only be a boon to consumers as it drives prices down and as new and improved versions of tech items arrive on the marketplace on a consistent basis….In this specific case,  iPhone 3 has been launched and nipping at it’s heels, the Sprint corporation has released its new Palm Treo 800W. Just another day in the technology office I guess. In any event, the Palm Treo 800W handset is the newest phone to be added to Sprints vaunted Palm Treo line. The new Palm Treo is a very intelligent cellular phone to be certain which runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. It was made with the business professional in mind and runs on Sprints Broad Band Network. The data speed is actually quite impressive for the business professional. Quicker and more reliable overall connection to the Internet will be a reliable service. The Palm Treo 800W Palm also features WiFi and GPS services. The user will be able to access his email almost instantaneously. Additional geeky news from the technosphere as I like to call it can be found at the Merlins News Blog  Over there you may find a lot of gadget and mobile computing as well as general news stories. In any case, this brand new Palm Treo will prove to be quite invaluable to professional business users for certain. It is much like having your laptop in the palm of your hands. It is easy to carry and easy to use and will become the business professionals most reliable assistant. It also has a full QERTY keyboard and 1 touch buttons to most applications. It also has the Sprint navigation search and GPS search for maps. 256MB user memory (about 170MB available user memory) is also on this phone. In addition, the touch screen supports the16 bit (65K colors, Qualcomm MSM6800A chipset).
