iPhone vs Android: Who is a true legend in telecom market?

Of all the different manufacturers in smartphone world there are two players who seem to dominate the

telecom market- iPhone and Android based phones. These are considered as legends in many ways. To

analyze, who is among the true legends in both of these players is a tough task to accomplish. However, by comparing them in many ways, you could get the answer as to who leads and becomes the legend in the telecom market. So, why not look at the comparison between the two and find the real hero in the telecom world.

The hardware

Hardware is something, which can help you understand the difference between the two thus giving the

right pictures of both the players. The iPhones are only created by Apple and hence the company has

a better control over their hardware and supporting software that works for the device. On the contrary,

Google has given rights to many companies (LG, Samsung, Motorola and HTC) to come up with the

Android phones; hence this OS varies in terms of size, user experience, features and quality. Checking

the hardware of the two, both have pro and cons. Some Android phones are seen freezing up, while the

iPhones too are seen with hardware issues. You could find some people who may want to go with the

wider hardware options available with Android, while the rest of the users may be comfortable with the

simplicity in terms of quality found in iPhone. So it could be called as a tie in terms of hardware and both could be called as true legends in the telecom world.

Operating system compatibility

If you are interested in having a smartphone which comes up with good amount of features and functions found in the OS then iPhones could be the best bet for you. On the contrary, the Android makers are very much slow in terms of coming up with some unique and interesting features. The operating system support for the older phones is much better for the iPhones as compared to the Android phones. For instance the latest iOS 6 is very much compatible over the older phones like iPhone 4, which happens to be two year older smartphone devices. This makes the latest version of iOS 6.1.2 among the most popular OS among the smartphone users as compared to the Android based users. Hence if you are keen to have something good in terms of updates and compatibility of operating system, your most obvious choice would be iPhone. Hence in this respect iPhone is a winner against its rival Android.

The user maintenance

The iPhone could be leading in terms of simplicity and elegance, but talking about the user maintenance

especially in terms of storage and battery, Android seems to be leading in this battle. The Android based phones are very much open to the users for any type of customization, which means they can simply change battery and memory of this particular phone, which is not possible in iPhones. In this respect, the winner is Android against iPhones.

Final word

On comparing the two in various terms, both seems to be leading in one way or the other. However as

far as calling any of them as a true legend it’s the user who will going to decide between the two. Looking both these virtually can make both of them as legends in many respects.

How does the new iPad differ from the old?

How does the new iPad differ from the old? [how differ from previous, current goods and current Bad, Recommendation]

Only a few years ago, there were no such thing as iPads to talk about, yet by mid-2012 we're already abuzz about the new iPad 3. Although computing tablets were on the map in the mid-90s, it took the marketing genius of Apple and the late Steve Jobs to successfully brand them as essential devices for the masses. Promotions for the upgrade boast about it hosting a better camera and better display, along with a new quad core processor. But if you already own one of the previous versions of iPad, why would you invest in the newest version?

First of all, the new iPad 3 is specifically promoted as an improvement over iPad 2, both visually and functionally. Aside from the new A5X chip installed to render incredible graphics, the oval processing on the device is much more speedy and smooth. Apple made sure that this graphics upgrade put it ahead of the pack in terms of of loading images and video, and preinstalled games. One can play Angry Birds and many other new standards of the mobile device era to one's heart's content. Surprisingly, there is some privately little visual difference between between iPad 2 and 3 while the units are both off - it's when you turn on the latter tablet PC that you see the power.

Video display is one of the biggest standouts on the iPad 3, given the fact that the built-in camera is capable of recording HD video in full 1080 P. This is spectacular output to expect from a tiny unit, if the compact handheld delivers.  The new iPad has Quad-Core Graphics from nVidia (Targa 3) that provides HD Display and higher resolution. The new iPad also has some new software tweaks including retina display voice-command, and couple other things.

The improvements to the new iPad are smartly applied, in other words, and applied within almost count toward improving the mobile computing experience. The screen on the tablet (2048-by-1536 at 264 pixels per inch) comes with four times as many pixels than the iPad 2, which was already an advanced, high definition resolution device. This higher level of clarity, called the retina display, has the effect of making everything look extremely detailed and gorgeous. Additional functions such as 5 MP iSight camera photography and recording videos make this one of the finest handhelds for creating and displaying spectacular images.

All this power needs to be controlled, which is why the new iPad has a sleep mode similar to many notebooks in order to conserve energy. When closed, the tablet goes to sleep, when opened, it wakes back up. There is also versatility in the model, in that it can work with AT&T and Verizon wireless across nine different variations of the model, and it offers 4G LTE connectivity. Even the battery is marginally improved as often tested to run 10 1/2 hours with wireless operating, while playing a video at a brightness set at 60%. Now that's a lot of power and durability.

The drawback to all these powerful additions and capabilities is in the heat factor. Some users complained the unit heats up to the point where it becomes uncomfortable to handle after long periods. The new iPad comes with the ability to crop up and kind of handstand arrangement for those desiring that form of hands-free operation. There's also the matter the ongoing competition with Android-based equivalents - depending on the model and unique configuration, some rival tablets are now outdoing Apple in terms of speed and loading time for their handhelds.

Even with both minor issues, the new iPad represents a huge improvement for overall PC tablet technology, and shows Apple is able to continue his path of improvement to match or exceed those of its competitors with future generations of the product. The versatility features abounding in the unit is still a deciding factor in making a purchasing decision about this or other tablets, as the number of apps available for the iPad line far exceeds anything on the Android side of the ledger. Those warning the most out of the most popular brand for handhelds available today, the new iPad 3 delivers just about everything you want.

Is Cloud Computing Safe?

There’s a reason cloud computing is the latest and greatest IT buzzword: it’s really, really useful. With ‘the cloud’ we can backup and remotely access our files, work on documents through a web-based word processor, play the latest PC games on a tablet or smartphone, and much much more.

One of the other great things is ease of use, it’s instantly and easily accessible to anyone, even basic computers or phones can make use of cloud technology. But this raises the issue of security - just how safe is cloud computing?The problem with any cloud solution is that you’re placing your data in someone else's hands. We’d all like to think that a company offering to store files remotely will have necessary precautions in place to prevent security breaches but the truth is that no system is completely secure.

For example: LastPass.com is a service which stores passwords under a single master password so you don’t have to remember logins for every web site. Incredibly useful, and you’d think if anyone was safe it’d be these guys, but last year they admitted to a security breach in which some user logins and encrypted password containers may have been stolen. The company was quick to act in response but it’s still worrying. A higher profile example is the Sony Playstation Network hack where the details of 77 million PSN users were exposed, resulting in Sony taking the PS3’s network offline for several weeks.

These incidents (Google for many more) show just how vulnerable your data can be. When you upload files or information to a server you have no idea where it’s going to end up or who may be able to see it. Often it’s not a major worry, if someone breaks into your Dropbox they may only end up with a few music files and images, but as cloud computing becomes more commonplace we’re sending an increasing amount of data with little thought of the consequences.

That doesn’t mean you need to stop using Dropbox or Google Docs, but exercising some caution and upping your security awareness will help protect you.

Tips for safe cloud computing:

- Stick to the big players. High profile companies like Google and Microsoft have money to spend on security and a reputation to maintain, they have nothing to gain and everything to lose by not ensuring the highest level of safety. Smaller outfits may have less experienced people and just can’t offer the same security. If it hasn’t happened already there will almost certainly be cloud services operated by scammers purely for the purpose of gaining access to your files and personal info.

- Be careful with sensitive data. You’ve got no idea who may have access to files on a cloud server so don’t upload anything you wouldn’t want other people seeing, or if you do make sure it’s password protected.

- Use strong passwords. Long passwords with a mix of letters, numbers and special characters (if allowed) will greatly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your account. This is absolutely essential. Make use of password generators to create random passphrases and password managers so you don’t need to memorize each one.
