In the video battler we put the Kindle Fire into battle with the iPod Touch. Now at first when you look at both of these devices you wouldn’t think there is any real way to compare them since they are designed different and meant for two totally different markets. But at the their respective price points of $200 its cause many to compare them to see which is best for them money. The iPod Touch is well-known and proven and the Kindle Fire is the new guy in the market looking make waves.

The Kindle Fire is aimed at being a more consumer friendly media consumption tablet. There isn’t much you can do for content creation. Its goal is to make it easy and simple to read books, play games, watch moves and TV shows and buy them from the Amazon store along with other products. It comes with a 7 inch screen to make sure you can experience this content well in a portable but not pocketable device.  Its using Android with a heavily customized user experience on top of it which is design for anyone to pick up and use.

The iPod Touch is for the MP3 Player and PMP (Portable Media Player) market. It’s all about taking your content on the go from music, movies, TV shows and games.  This portable and pocketable device gives you the ability to enjoy your content anywhere. Similar to the Kindle fire is all about consuming content and not so much creating and the screen can become small when trying to read books, watch movies and TV shows.

As you can see the both come with similar functions in a different hardware body for the same price. In our video you will see us comparing these similarities and breaking down the differences between both of them to give you all the information you need to make the best decision on which one to get.

J5Create has made the task of communication between a Windows-based PC and a Mac computer simple and easy all through one cable. The Wormhole cable allows you to transfer files and control a PC and a Mac computer at the same time.  You can use one mouse and keyboard to control both machines and the only limits to the file size you can transfer is the hard drive space on the system you are transferring to.

The iPhone 4s is the latest devices in the iPhone series. It’s not the iPhone 5 that people were expecting as Apple is following the same path that they did with the iPhone 3G to 3GS with this being a minor upgrade from the iPhone 4. The question is that is there enough of an upgrade here for you to consider the iPhone 4S?

Hardware & Design

Externally there isn’t much change here from the iPhone 4. The screen is still a 3.5 inch retina display with a 960 x 640 resolution and remains one of the sharpest and vibrant displays to look at from all angles. Above the screen is the same VGA front facing camera and below is your only button on the front the home button. The sides are still made of metal and contain your volume buttons, power button, lock switch, 3.5 mm headphone jack and sim card slot. One of the major changes is on the back with the camera upgraded to 8 megapixel with LED flash and can record HD video at 1080p. It’s a welcomed improvement  and image quality is good. There is HDR support and image stabilization but there is no way to turn on or off the stabilization feature it’s just on by default when the camera needs it.  You can check out the same video and pictures at the bottom of this review.

There are also new internal changes with the Apple A5 dual-core processor which is the same one from the iPad 2. The 4S includes both GSM and CDMA radios so one device will work on both network making it a world phone however CDMA will only work if you activate the phone with a CDMA carrier like Verizon or Sprint. Also with the GSM radio it support HSPA+ 14.4 Mbps for high-speed downloads on AT&T.  It’s the same solid design with some cool hardware improvements inside.
[ad#onpostadshalfbanner]

Software & Usability

The 4S come shipped with iOS 5 the latest version of the mobile operating system. iOS 5 comes with a number of improvements and upgrades. In this review we will focus on some of the major ones.  Siri is one of the major additions which recognizes natural language voice commands to act as a personal assistant.  You can as Siri a basic question and it will answer you back directly , search a database to pull up the answer or Google search your question and open up the web browser. The software also can take commands such as reminders, alarms, calendar appointments, send text messages and e-mails. For the most part these features work but you’ll still want to speak as clearly as possible to get the best results.

The notification center is also a new feature which let’s be honest here it’s inspired by android but regardless of that it’s a welcomed improvement over the original notification which were plain terrible. Swiping at the top of the screen will bring the drop down with your notifications. At the top is a weather widget and below each notification is set by groups based on the app such as mail, text, stock quotes, Facebook and tweets (With the new twitter integration into the OS). You can check each individually or close out an entire notification group.  These notifications can also be viewed on the lock screen and be directly accessed from the locks screen when you unlock the phone.

iOS 5 takes advantage of Apple’s new iCloud services for iTunes music, e-mail, contacts, calendar, reminders, bookmarks, notes, photo stream, documents & data, Find My iPhone and full backups of your iPhone. Each Apple ID gets 5 GB of free storage.

The OS runs and operates as smooth as the earlier versions have before. Battery life for me at the time of this review was fine and with heavy usage I was able to get through the date on a single charge. Moderate to light users should be able to stretch that out to about 1.5 days. I do know there are some reports out there of poor battery life which could be true from some users but I didn’t experience this in my review. Call quality is also solid with clear audio on both sides of the call.

Overall

Yes the 4s is a solid improvement over the previous iPhone and is the best available. If you’re currently using a iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS user its time for you to upgrade and this is the upgrade for you. if you are using an iPhone 4 there is no real reason for you to upgrade. You can get iOS 5 and the upgraded camera is only worth it if you seriously take a lot of photos with the iPhone and want a better camera.  Apple has certainly caught up to the competition here with the 4s but they have left room open for competitors to raise the bar higher.

While we had the chance to we had to do a quick comparison between both devices. Their the newest flagship phones from their respective brands. The specs for the iPhone 4s is known by most of us since its out already and didn’t change too much from the original iPhone 4. It has a 3.5 inch retina display, dual core A5 1.0 GHz processor, 1 GB of Ram, dual CDMA and GSM chipset, 8 megapixel rear camera with LED flash,1080p HD video capture and runs Apple’s latest verson of their mobile OS iOS 5.

The new guy on the block the Nokia Lumia 800 has a slightly larger screen at 3.7 inches and used AMOLED ClearBack technology for good viewing angles and clarity in sunlight. The processor is single-core and clocked at 1.4 GHz and 512 MB or Ram. The camera is also a 8 megapixel camera but has dual LED flash, 720p HD video capture and uses are Carl Zeiss lens. Its powered by the latest version of Microsoft’s mobile operating system Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. Right now its on GSM with no word if there will be a CDMA version.

Their almost the same size and thickness with the Nokia being a bit larger in length and width. Neither phone reaches the standard 4.0” screen mark which is what most android phones have, neither have real 4G with only HSPA+ that Apple and AT&T call 4G but Nokia referrers to it at 3G. It’s a good spec for spec battle between both of these phones. I’m looking forward to getting the Nokia Lumia 800 for review to see how well it compares. So far it feels like the first true Windows Phone in the market. Adding customization such as Nokia Drive, Nokia Maps and Nokia Music will help set it apart from other Windows Phones.  For now enjoy the quick comparison video and hopefully we will get the chance to do a full on battle video between both.

Siri understands context allowing you to speak naturally when you ask it questions, for example, if you ask “Will I need an umbrella this weekend?” it understands you are looking for a weather forecast. Siri is also smart about using the personal information you allow it to access, for example, if you tell Siri “Remind me to call Mom when I get home” it can find “Mom” in your address book, or ask Siri “What’s the traffic like around here?” and it can figure out where “here” is based on your current location.

The 8 megapixel sensor has 60 percent more pixels so you can take amazing high quality photos with more detail than ever. iPhone 4S includes a new custom lens, a larger f/2.4 aperture and an advanced hybrid IR filter that produce sharper, brighter and more accurate images. The Apple-designed image signal processor in the A5 dual-core chip is built for performance, and coupled with the features built into iOS 5, makes the camera one of the fastest on any phone. With iPhone 4S, the Camera app launches much faster and the shot to shot capability is twice as fast, so you’ll never miss another shot.
New features in the Camera and Photos apps give you instant access to the camera right from the lock screen, and you can also use the volume-up button to quickly snap a photo. Optional grid lines help line up your shot and a simple tap locks focus and exposure on one subject; and the new Photos app lets you crop, rotate, enhance and remove red-eye, and organize your photos into albums right on your device to share them on the go. New iOS 5 features include built-in Twitter integration and iMessage, so you can instantly share your photos via Twitter directly from the Photos app and send photos via iMessage to individuals or groups. And with iCloud’s innovative new Photo Stream service, a photo you take on your iPhone is sent to iCloud and automatically pushed to your iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC. You can even view your Photo Stream album on your Apple TV®.
iPhone 4S can also now record video in full 1080p HD resolution and with the new video image stabilization feature, you can take richer, smoother videos.

Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and has recently introduced iPad 2 which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices.

Looks like the Apple store in Japan jumped the gun and released images of the new iPhone 4s. The phone doesn’t look too different that from iPhone 4  and no word if it will include LTE or anything like that but it looks to be running iOS 5. No word on which carrier yet will carry it but I’m sure that will come out during the event. Stay tuned.

Tomorrow we finally get to see what the next iPhone will be from Apple. All the rumors and speculations for well over a year will finally be put to rest.  Before we get to our predictions we want to let you know that we will be doing coverage of the even via our twitter account @bwonedotcom  and will upload a summary video from everything that comes out of the iPhone press event on your YouTube Channel.
[ad#onpostadshalfbanner]

Now for the predictions. We’ve hear all sorts of rumors from an iPhone 5 and iPhone 4s, only one phone is coming, two phones are coming and so on. I believe that there will be an iPhone 4s which will be more of a spec jump to catch up to some of the high-end android phones out there. It will come with a dual core processor, 8 megapixel camera, 1080p video recording and a display that 4 inches or a bit bigger. There could be a possibility of upgraded storage to 64 GB but I wouldn’t count too much on that one. It should also be a bit thinner and lighter than the earlier iPhone 4. I think this upgrade will be similar to the upgrade of the iPad to the iPad 2.

I also think there will be a 2nd iPhone announced but we already know what that iPhone is. The iPhone 4 will become the mid tier offering. With its current specs it competes with the mid range android devices out today. It should be dropped down to a $99 entry price.

Also when looking at the press event photo Apple sent out you see some basic info just giving you’re a fancy way of telling you the date, time and location of the press event but then there is a number 1 next to the phone icon which makes me believe that they will be adding one more carrier which will be Sprint. Another bold prediction is that with the map icon they could be introducing their own map program and leaving good or adding turn-by-turn voice directions but those are just guesses with no real rumors behind them.

As for the iPhone 5, I believe that will be saved for 2012 which is when all the major carries will be switching to LTE and making their big 4G push. It would make seen then to  introduce a whole new design, LTE, huge spec boost in processor and in cameras especially with the recent news of Samsung developing 16 Megapixel camera sensors for phones.

I could be totally wrong here in my predictions but I also could be right on the money with them. What I want to know is what you guys think so post your comments below.

Apple has officially announced a press event coming on October 4th. So finally we have a date on when we will see the next iPhone. We don’t know if it’s going to be called the iPhone 5, iPhone 4s or maybe two new iPhone devices but we’ll find out finally on October 4th. Some solid info that we know if is that it should come with an upgraded 8 megapixel camera and iOS 5. Stay tuned for the big news when it hits start at 10:00 am PST 1pm EST. We’ll have a live blog link up before the event starts.

Apple has officially announced that Steve Jobs is stepping down as CEO of Apple. Tim Cook will take his place. The iconic figurehead of Apple is retiring from being CEO of the company but he will stay on the Board of Directors as Chairman. A big change for Apple here in the middle of this war with cell phones, tablets, computers and patents. Investors have felt confident in investing in Apple because of the popularity and public figure Steve Jobs is. I wonder how they will react. His official letter of Resignation and Apple’s PR statement below.

Steve Jobs Resignation Letter:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
