smart phone review El iPhone 4S podría ser el electrónico de consumo de más rápida venta

smart phone review Los productos de Apple se venden como pan caliente en todo el mundo, tanto que le permitieron a la compañía de Cupertino alcanzar un récord en sus resultados financieros del cuatro trimestre de 2011.

Lo más interesante es que esto podría constituir un récord Guinness para la más reciente versión del smartphone de la estadounidense, el iPhone 4S, que habría superado al sensor Kinect para la Xbox, en lo que a número de dispositivos vendidos se refiere. Revisemos los cifras para que ustedes puedan tener una idea:

El Kinect consiguió el año pasado el récord de ser el "aparato electrónico de consumo que más rápido había vendido" con nada menos que ocho millones de unidades durante los primeros 60 días desde su salida al mercado.

Por su parte, en los últimos tres meses del año pasado se vendieron 37 millones de iPhones, de los cuales, según un estudio de Consumer Intelligence Research, un 89 % corresponderían al 4S. O sea que serían 33 millones de iPhone 4S que habrían sido comercializados en sólo 78 días desde que llegara a las tiendas el 14 de octubre.

Veremos qué sucede cuando se anuncien los ganadores de los récords Guinness de este año.

smart phone comparison Tweet Land, un alocado juego de carreras donde los tweets ponen la diversión

smart phone comparison

Hablar de videojuegos es hablar de mundos virtuales donde lo que ocurre queda desconectado del mundo real. Sin embargo, ¿y si los acontecimientos del mundo real condicionaran lo que sucede en un juego? A esta pregunta tenemos una respuesta: Tweet Land. Una propuesta curiosa, desarrollada en Costa Rica, que llegará a la App Store dentro de poco.

Bajo este nombre nos encontramos un juego de conducción donde nuestra carrera se verá eventualmente alterada por tweets en tiempo real. El juego criba diferentes mensajes de esta red social y nos va creando diferente obstáculos que debemos ir superando: la caída de un meteorito que cae del cielo, que nuestro conductor conduzca como si estuviera borracho, un accidente de coche…

También nos dará algunas ventajas claro, convertirnos en un helicóptero o en un tanque, que nos servirán para allanar el camino. El objetivo: llegar lo más lejos posible y sobrevivir a los cientos de tweets que complicarán nuestro viaje. Una idea divertida y bastante original, sobre el papel.

Como podéis ver en el vídeo, Tweet Land nos traerá un simpático apartado gráfico que apuesta por la estética pixel y un cierto aire retro. Una combinación bastante acertada ya que, a pesar de intentar recordarnos a juegos clásicos, no olvida en qué año estamos: las animaciones están muy bien conseguidas y el aspecto general no es añejo.

Tweet Land debutará en la App Store el próximo 31 de Enero a un precio de 2 dólares (1,50 euros al cambio). El juego contará con una versión gratuita de prueba para quienes no quieran pasar por caja previamente. Sobre la llega a otros sistemas operativos, de momento no hay nada confirmado pero, esperemos, que desembarque tarde o temprano en Android y Windows Phone.

android phone iPhone Game Review - Bed Bugs

android phone
My wife and I both have iPhones and this weekend she was mentioning that she has yet to find a game that she 'just loves to play'. Now, to be fair, she doesn't have a lot of time to surf through the thousands of games in the App Store but I have found quite a few that she likes, just none that she is addicted too.

Well, I may have found one tonight in Bed Bugs. Developed by Igloo Games Bed Bugs is highly addictive and very fun. You play the role of a sleepwalker who climbs out of bed and is bombarded by all different types of Bed Bugs that are doing their best to wake him up. At each level (I made it through 9) a new Bed Bug is introduced and each of them have to be handled differently.

Some you can't touch. Others you have to touch multiple times and in the latest level, some you touch once but you better not touch them again.

The game starts out pretty easy but gets progressively more difficult as the new Bed Bugs get introduced and you have to keep your fingers moving to keep your Sleepwalker asleep.

This is a game that is simply perfect for the iPhone and iPod touch and everything about the game is done extremely well: the sound, the graphics, the controls and the game concept are fantastic.

This is Igloo's second iPhone game. Dizzy Bee was the first and although I have personally not played it, it has gotten tremendous reviews so it's no surprise that these guys have nailed it again with Bed Bugs.

This is a game for all ages and I'm excited to show my kids this one as well. It is currently selling for $1.99 in iTunes and I highly recommend downloading it now.

htc smart phone reviews
Cincinnati Bell, the small regional telecom company, became the first U.S. carrier to sell the Nokia 5800 touchscreen smartphone. The phone had previously only been sold inside the United States at Nokia's flagship stores.

'The touch screen Nokia 5800 XpressMusic adds a new dimension to Cincinnati Bell's growing smartphone line up,' said Tim Bracken, director of consumer wireless for Cincinnati Bell. 'It truly is a modern entertainment device with advanced Web browsing, built-in GPS, picture messaging, and music capabilities that surpass expectations for a fresh everyday smartphone. Also, the Nokia 5800 is WiFi-enabled, which means customers can achieve some of the fastest data speeds available today.'

The phone will sell for $149 with a two-year service contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate. Nokia trumpeted the success of the phone worldwide, and announced in February that it had sold 1 million units in three weeks. However, the phone has not been picked up by any of the Tier 1 U.S. carriers.

review smart phones MIT Demonstrates 'Wireless Electricity'

review smart phones The ability to direct and transmit electrical power through the air, without wires, took a further step from the theoretical to the practical in June when a group of MIT researchers demonstrated their 'WiTricity' concept.

The technology works by transmitting electricity as a magnetic field oscillating at a specific frequency. Through 'magnetically coupled resonance,' the 'receiver' can capture the electricity, making for an efficient and safe method of over-the-air transfer.

Wireless transmission of electricity has been understood in theory since the work of Nikolai Tesla in the 19th Century. Safe, efficient and cost-effective wireless electricity could hold countless beenfits, from eliminating the need to install costly copper wiring to lowered reliance on batteries for small devices. However, despite the success of WiTricity, the technology has a long way to go before it is deployed commercially... not to mention the need to better understand side effects such as interference and possible effects on health and the environment.

the best android phone Microsoft Introduces 'Tabletop' PC

the best android phone

As computing devices get smaller and smaller, Microsoft is bucking the trend with its Microsoft Surface 'tabletop' PC, code-named 'Milan.' The device, about the size of a small desk, allows the user to draw and write on the surface with a brush or fingers. Instead of using a mouse or keyboard, the user manipulates digital elements on the surface with his or her hands.

The first of the Milan devices will be shipped to corporate customers to be used as kiosks... providing Milan with crucial exposure while allowing Microsoft to work out any kinks before offering surface computing to home and office users. At any rate, the average consumer will be forgiven for not pouncing on the first available units, which cost approximately $10,000 each.

best smart phone reviews Cheaper iPhone Coming Soon?

best smart phone reviews
Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference kicks off Monday and according to Financial Times, Apple plans to introduce a cheaper version of its popular iPhone as soon as Monday, in a move that could dramatically increase the company's share of the smart phone market.

Analysts said that the company is likely to introduce either a $149 phone or a $99 phone, down from the current low end of $199.

Citing a firm survey of consumers, Morgan Stanley analyst Kathryn Huberty said that a $50 price cut could increase demand for the phone by 50% and a $100 cut by 100%.

Apple sells about 11% of the world's smart phones, trailing Nokia at 41% and Research in Motion (Blackberry) at 20%, according to Gartner figures from the first quarter.

Outsourced Journalism

Add writing and reporting to the list of jobs that are now being outsourced. Although native foreign correspondents have been around for decades, news sources such as one in Pasadena, California, have begun outsourcing its local news coverage to reporters in India:

James Macpherson, editor and publisher of the Pasadena Now website, hired two reporters last weekend to cover the Pasadena City Council. One lives in Mumbai and will be paid $12,000 a year. The other will work in Bangalore for $7,200. The council broadcasts its meetings on the Web. From nearly 9,000 miles away, the outsourced journalists plan to watch, then write their stories while their boss sleeps — India is 12.5 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time.

"A lot of the routine stuff we do can be done by really talented people in another time zone at much lower wages," said Macpherson, 51, who used to run a clothing
business with manufacturing help from Vietnam and India.

Although this might be an isolated case, it could catch on if publishers perceive a real cost savings. Or not, if they sense a loss of a connection to the communities they are covering.
