When Should I Buy Iphone 4 (Source: zomm.com)

U.S. analysts make claims to have inside information from Apple partner companies which confirm rumors launched last week on the new iPhone 5 rethought design. It seems that the device will have a larger screen than the previous apple mobile terminal, the iPhone 4 and also thinner and lighter. Some bad news come from the processor provider, Samsung, which confirmed that the new device will be powered by the same A5 2 processor and no additions will be brought to the design of the processing unit. The device will have similar finishes to the iPhone 4 with the streamlined edges.

Many think the actual size will be the same as the iPhone 4 because Apple has a history in using old parts from previous generations such as the iPad 1 screen to launch new series. U.S. analysts agree on the fact that the iPhone will represent a big update for the terminals that Apple manufactures and sells and given the fact that it is announced a year and a half after the launch of the iPhone 4 this should be a good update for real no matter what analysts and Apple fans say and wait for.

Considering the fact that Android based devices and operating systems are gaining more and more terrain in the same markets as Apple the company needs to launch a new device every year to keep up the pace with all the competition. Given the fact that all competition relies mainly on Android, Apple needs reinventing itself every year.

Many analysts say that the Apple supremacy is short lasting and their power is decreasing by the second as almost twenty different manufacturer companies battle to produce the cheapest, most innovative and powerful devices that the market has ever seen and none of these use Apple software or technology. This thing means that the regular user has a wider and more powerful market to choose from when buying such devices.

Starting with the fact that you don’t have to lose any time creating a new account for using the app and your phone number itself is used as the ID. The password defining steps are also lacking and most other personal information that you may need to remember or note somewhere so that you don’t forget them. Going on the premise that the phone number you provide is stored in a database centralized by VIBER with all users so that you do not even need to ask friends if they use the service in order to contact them through the app, just run the application and see which of your contacts have the application installed on their device. It runs as a background service at all times and you can see if you receive a call via the local push notifications service. Sound quality is very good compared to other apps and given the fact that it can use 3G or WiFi makes this app even more useful and convenient to use for any iPhone 4 user out there.

Dragon Dictation is a very interesting application offered free for install by the company called to Nuance communications and is provided for free and give them the fast pace we all live in nowadays we come to appreciate a application that turns words into text in the most efficient way that was ever available to a user. Either you want to send a fast e-mail or an SMS this application is just what you need to use. Unfortunately this application works only when connected to the Internet but this thing shouldn’t be a problem as most similar applications cost a lot more and will most surely provide less useful feedback. The dragon dictation application features a very efficient voice to text conversion tool. The best thing about it is that is a very powerful tool to check your English spelling proficiency as the translating robot usually doesn’t identify the words that you want especially if you’re not a native English speaker.

What you really want from an app is to work as fast as possible and deliver results very fast and these two apps do just that.

• Buzz Playeris produced by Bugun Software and comes at $ 1.99 which is not much for what it can do. This app comes to counter Apple’s stubbornness in which regards the limited support for other video formats other than theirs. This app allows access to a large codec database and playback for any file you may copy via Internet or by connection cable and even files downloaded from iTunes. Among the advantages of this player is the fact that you can access files from the local network or a FTP server, Samba or from an UPnP server. Subtitle support is not completely excluded as it can provide that as well in different formats such as SUB, SRT or SMI and if your language needs diacritics you may as well use them too with a small painless effort. In which regards the media content that the app can playback on the iPhone 4 you can consider 720p formats as native and you shouldn’t worry about the quality because it’s high; very high.

• There is an app that can keep track of everything that happens or “disappears” from your iPhone 4 and it is provided by Retina-X Studios, which is a company specialized in developing “spy software”. The app is called Mobile Spy and its main task is to keep track of everything that happens on the device. Mobile Spy is a very interesting app that allows you to keep in touch with all the changes and actions that take place on your device in real time. This very intelligent and unique software installs a small size application on your smartphone and even if it is ran at startup it remains fully hidden and record everything. All data is stored on Mobile Spy servers and you are able to access it trough your account. This thing is very useful for those who keep forgetting the device on the desk in a busy office and suspect that someone keeps using the device while the owner is away from it.

These two apps are very interesting in my opinion and I recommend you install them and see how they work for you keeping you always entertained and in full control of your assets.

• Ataxiis manufactured by a Romanian company Adulmec LLC and is offered for free. Although not the most exciting application that there is, the possibility of having an updated taxi numbers database is always useful and most certainly is a good reason to install this free app that will save you from countless minutes of searching through lots of taxi numbers on your phone’s contacts. You just have to run the app on your iPhone 4 and the GPS will automatically find the city you are in and will create a list of all taxi companies in the area with the names listed. If you have an Internet phone, the database is automatically updated in the moment you access it. Besides the fact that you have access to all phone numbers of the companies listed in the database you get all the fees for each taxi company. Also, as an extra option, you can specify a default number so that when you touch the name of the taxi company that you want you will call the number you have set as default. This app is simple and efficient just like any app should be. Even if the interface is very simple it does its job very good.

• Bump is developed by Bump Technologies LLC and is also a free app. Although this app has seen the market for several years already and the app is also available on the Android operating systems, the app has many functions especially for the iPhone 4 that users don’t know about. If at first you didn’t have the authorization to send a single contact from a device to another or send a photo taken with your iPhone, now things have changed and you can do all those things and many more. Fortunately, the price remains the same: free. The idea behind all this data transfer is quite simple; you need two phones connected to the same wireless network, you choose the files that you want to transfer and the next thing is to literally bump the phones as you can see in the video provided in the app name. The next thing you need to do is accept a sharing confirmation and you’re off transferring files.

Unfortunately for Apple, the customers are no longer a mass of people with money which use the devices that manufacturers provide but represent the worst critic community that a manufacturer could ever desire. With forums, Tweeter, Facebook and all sort of other real time sites that allow the users to talk and share all the experiences with the things they buy, the iPhone 4 benefited from the largest phone using experienced community that seen daylight; the international consumers community.

Also a report published by Consumer Reports was a critical addition to the critics that hit the iPhone 4 marketing policy. This report also criticized the device and recommended all readers to go for other similar devices from other manufacturers or the previous 3G S iPhone rather than buying and investing time and money into the iPhone 4 terminal.

When The Telegraph added the signal drop problem when holding the iPhone 4 in the left hand Apple took the last hit and was forced to react and officials said in clear anger that the customers are just not using the device right. Public reaction was to return numerous iPhones to the retailers and that thing cost Apple that huge amount of money being forced to refund all the buyers as the law obliges any producer to return the money in a 30 day period if the customer just wants to return the product.

As there public critics were released, Apple felt the effects with a 11 billions dollars drop in revenue as Apple specialists expected for the iPhone 4 sales.

Fortunately, all these critics made the arrogant manufacturer to reconsider the quality of its devices or at least we all hope so.

Apple already announced the possible iPhone 5 but the company direction in marketing and development is uncertain now that Steve Jobs has gone on the safe lane after cancer problems and the company remained without its precious CEO.

The drop in device sales and Steve Job’s uncertain retirement shouldn’t be a real problem as Apple fans still buy accessories and devices from the manufacturer.

The Samsung Captivateis the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S, the main competitor for the iPhone 4. This model is not a reinventing of the Samsung Galaxy S but just a facelift with almost the same specifications. This model was introduced on the US market in order to counter Apple’s supremacy on the smartphone segment of the market.

Samsung Captivate Vs Iphone 4 (Source: samsung.com)

The Samsung Captivate is equipped with the same Super AMOLED touchscreen that equips the Samsung Galaxy S and offers a better looking experience than that of the iPhone but as a downside the level of detail is lower and so choosing it solely by the screen features is a matter of subjective taste. You can go for live colors but give away the details or go for less color and more detail; it’s all up to your needs to decide what you want.

When it comes to browsing the internet the colors, even with the Super AMOLEDscreen, are somewhat unnatural and even opening in preview mode of photos this characteristic that the manufacturer is not proud with can be seen. Unfortunately, the iPhone 4 has another strong point in internet browsing as the number of pixels in the Retina Display is higher and offers a better reading experience. The Android operating system doesn’t work to good with pinch and zoom so the iPhone 4 still rules in this segment.

Fortunately there are good parts in the Samsung Captivate that the manufacturer offers and clearly out stand the iPhone such as the HD 720p format video recording capability in which the Samsung Captivate clearly dominates. Unfortunately, the Samsung Captivate will replay the movies recorded with the camera less fluent as the iPhone will use a 30 FPS for making the user satisfied.

There are many weak points and strong point of both terminals but they are similar in many ways so the winner of this market competition is for up to the users to decide. Some say iPhone because it has lots of apps but that’s no longer a problem and the Android Market is a growing place for Android apps. Some will say that the Samsung is more reliable and customizable but there’s also the jailbreak option for the iPhone so this entire duel between the two terminals is never ending and even the price can’t settle this fight.

It all is a matter of choice and preferences. The Samsung is more transparent but the Apple is more beautiful.

There are sources that say that these spots and stripes are a problem that appears due to incorrect handling and shipping. Some say these stripes and dots are a feature and they will disappear after 1 – 3 days of use.

The second problem is considered to be signal strength which is very well documented on lots of forums and discussions and the only way to remedy this problem is to cover the respective area with a non-conductive material such as duct tape or something similar. You can also use a case for that but that will set you back some money that you probably don’t want to spend to remedy a design flaw. The problem appears when you hold the phone with the left hand and touch the conductive rim that is in direct contact with the antenna module and the power or the antenna drops close to nothing making conversations impossible and internet connection the same.

The same problem can be observed during a phone call which is more annoying than the previous issue. Imagine a conversation between you and a relative from another continent where you are taxed per connection and talk minute. If you get your conversation dropped three or four times you may need to sell your iPhone 4 accessories to pay the bill. Apple support team declared that this issue is just a software problem and it will be remedied as fast as possible.

This statement means that Apple is still not ready to accept that the company made a mistake and many wonder when the company will be able to accept that even it can make mistakes and launch faulty devices. Apple lost many fans due to this arrogance in Apple’s policy but there are many others who love Apple devices and will not stop using the devices, even with all the bugs and glitches.

In my opinion I think you should consider all other options before running to the closest Apple retailer and buying a device manufactured by them because the competition is catching from behind very fast with powerful gadgets.
