I haven’t researcher about this new cell phone blackberry, but what I already heard is that it got same touchscreen mode as iPhone along with some other cool features.
I think iPhone will still remain at the top for it not only pioneered this revolution but its open source sdk application is unmatchable. You get to download iPhone apps, both paid and free, from already popular itunes browser. I hate monopoly, so I hope other cell phone companies will follow suit of iPhone – thinking outside the box.
So looks like my local, but giant, electronic store Best Buy has declared October 30th as the National Vampire Awareness Day. According to the best buy, 40 percent of all the electricity used are wasted by electronic devices and appliiances that are just plugged in just for the convenience and nothing more – meaning these gadgets are not being used during these times. About $4 billion could be easily saved if these electricity powered gadgets are not only turned off but also not plugged-in.
The worst energy sucking electronics are plasma tvs, computers, DVRs, and adapters for mp3 players and cell phones.
I thought it is pretty interesting to note that the chargers we use for our cell phones, mp3 players and laptops use only 5 percent of the power they draw for charging; the rest of the 95 percent are just practically for nothing more than for wasting.
A typical US household spends an average of $1300 ever year on energy bills. Experts recommend using power strip so you can easily turn off many devices at the same time. But I wonder if unplugging the power strip entirely would help more.
So just when we thought Apple’s super cool iPod touch and smart iPhone is like no other and the best one out there, China seemed to have reverse engineered these touch screen mp3 players and phone. Chinese people are typically smart at things like this, it could be because they have so many people (remember billions of people) that at least some of them are born to be good at making fake iPhone and iPod Touch.
The name of the company that makes this fake iPod Touch and iPhone is iorgane. iOrgane sounds like iOrange doesn’t it? And it kinda goes against Apple, the original maker of iPhone and iPod? This fake counterfeited iPod Touch is called Cool Touch and seem to have everything genuine one has to offer.
One thing that is fake iPod seem to be missing is the charger slot that every Apple iPhone and iPod products have at the bottom. It is an irony that this fake iPhone company even describes in detail how to distinguish between the counterfeit and genuine one: “from the phone to control the sensitivity to differentiate genuine and orange. All genuine orange used by the Apple Iphone is the same as the capacitance of the new global multi-point touch-screen technology. Capacitive touch screen is to use the human body to carry out the work of the current sensors. When the fingers touch the metal layer, the electric field due to the human body, and touch-screen user surface of a capacitive coupling, the current points from the four corners of the touch screen on the outflow of electrodes, and flows through the electrodes of the four current and four fingers to the In direct proportion to the distance, the controller through the four current ratio of precision calculated touch points. The use of capacitive screens such as mobile phones Iphone, orange mobile phones have a very high sensitivity, the user only lightly touch on the screen or slide will be able to do the necessary operation.”
