The 'heavy weapons' will be on the iPhone 5


Apple said the next version of the operating system for mobile IOS 6 will release this fall, but has not said anything about "blockbuster" iPhone 5. However, many new features have been rumors about this device.

Improve Security
The final agreement is not complete, but Apple has just announced it will buy network security provider and mobile AuthenTec. This acquisition could help strengthen the security for Apple iPhone, such as content security and fingerprint recognition - a feature that security company AuthenTec has sold to a manufacturer of computer and recent agreed to give Apple's smartphone competitors are Samsung.

According to PCWorld, before the takeover plan was announced, Samsung has registered clients using the service AuthenTec's QuickSec on their Galaxy devices. If Apple completed the acquisition AuthenTec, for $ 356 million, then Samsung will have to switch to a different VPN vendors for the products for their businesses.

19 pins connector
Newspaper Reuters recently announced that the next generation iPhone will use 19 pin connector instead of port 30 pins used on all IOS devices today. Smaller connector will create a larger space for the headphone jack at the bottom of the phone. This paper is similar to that newspaper story iMore mentioned earlier in the year, while saying that Apple is a small research base for future devices.

If Apple replace the 30 foot base, this is not very good signal to the accessory manufacturers and consumers, because these companies will create new speakers, chargers and accessories is not only compatible with new products but also to support the current iPhone model years. As for users, if they now own the iPhone accessories they need an adapter to be compatible with Apple's new device uses 19 pin connector.

Thinner screens and larger

They said, companies like Sharp, LG Display and Japan is producing a series of screen panels for next-generation iPhone to use in-cell technology, integrated into the touch sensor in the display LCD. As a result, will not need to create a separate layer for touchscreen. The elimination of this class is going down not only make the display thinner, but also increases the image quality.

Support 4G (LTE)
Most analysts believe that the new iPhone will use Qualcomm chip, allowing the phone to connect to GSM networks (3G and 4G LTE).

In fact, a large number of users are planning to buy or upgrade to the iPhone 4G first. Many of them said that LTE wireless technology is the main reason to choose to buy the new generation iPhone.

How To: Setup, Configure, and use Google Now


What is Google Now?

There’s some confusion out there in the Android world. Google Now is not Android’s “Siri killer”, that’s Voice Search (which you can get to and use from within Google Now). Google Now is much, much more than an application that listens to queries and spits out answers. I’m not even sure we can call Google Now a virtual assistant either. Google Now is about automating your life and in return, making your life easier. Google Now does that by providing a vast amount of information, pertinent to you, at your fingertips. There’s just one catch though. Those of your that often go full tin foil hat mode really won’t be able to fully enjoy Google Now to its’ full potential. So take off your head gear and let’s get started.

[Google Now] tells you today’s weather before you start your day, how much traffic to expect before you leave for work, when the next train will arrive as you’re standing on the platform, or your favorite team’s score while they’re playing. And the best part? All of this happens automatically. Cards appear throughout the day at the moment you need them.

How to setup Google Now

To get started, you’ll first need to launch Google Now from either your lock screen by swiping up towards the ‘Google’ icon or by swiping up from any of your soft keys. You can press in and swipe up from the back arrow, home key, and recents key.

If you haven’t launched Google Now until…now… you’ll need to tap through the welcome screen setup.

Now go ahead and scroll down the to very bottom and tap the 3 dots (menu button) in the bottom right corner. This will launch the Google Now / Voice Search settings. Tap Google Now to customize your Google Now cards.

You can also view Sample Cards and configure them from the Google Now home screen. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and tap “Show sample cards”.

Most of you will probably need to leave these settings set to default until you get a better feel for Google Now and what information you wish to have at your fingertips, without having to dig through your phone.  Now that you have your cards setup, you need to populate them with some data. You can do that by using Voice Search. You can tap the microphone icon and search for your favorite sports team, weather, restaurant, flight numbers, or anything related to the sample cards provided for you.

For example: “What’s the weather today?” “Do the Yankee’s play today?” “I’m hungry for Chinese food”. You get the idea.

Now you privacy folks you’ll need to remove your tin foil hats for the next part. As I said earlier, to fully get the most of of Google Now, you’ll need to setup a few more tasks revolving around your location.

For your location settings, first head back into the Google Now settings and tap Privacy accounts. By default, all of these settings should be enabled.

Next, tap Manage location settings. This will take you into Maps settings. For best results, you’ll want location history enabled.

Next, so that Google Now can identify your home and work address correctly (instead of your favorite place to hangout) launch Maps. Now select Location history. From here you’ll have the option to configure your home and work locations. (Yes, I work more than 21 hours a week on average. My building at work doesn’t provide the greatest GPS window.)

Now you have Google Now setup and ready to show you some cards. You should start seeing cards immediately for weather, distance to work / home, and possibly other locations. If you’re near a bus station you may see that data populate right away as well. As mentioned earlier, you’ll want to start using Voice Search and searching for other card related items to let Google Now know you’re interested. After you start putting information into Google Now, you’ll start to see cards show up in your notifications. Just tap on them to view them or at anytime you can swipe up from your soft keys or home screen.

Tips and Tricks

Once you close or swipe away a card in Google Now or from your notifications, it isn’t gone, don’t worry. It will come back the next time data for that card changes. For example: if you swipe away your weather, it won’t come back until your location changes or your weather information changes.

You can force cards to reappear by tapping the menu icon at the bottom of Google Now and tapping the refresh button. If you’re still having problems, you can always go into Google Now settings, flip the toggle switch off, reboot, and then re-enable Google Now. You shouldn’t have to do this though.

Add locations to your Calendar events. Google Now will then give you a notification when you need to leave to arrive on time.

If you’ve used Latitude to Check-in to many businesses in your area, you may start to see those show up in Google Now. If you just swipe those away, they’ll keep coming back. When these cards are shown, you have the option to no longer track those places by tapping the settings.

Enabling Web History drastically improves the functionality of Google Now. You can control these settings at www.google.com/dashboard.

Lastly, the more you use Google Now, the better it becomes. Enjoy!

6 Reasons Why Nexus 7 Is Better Than The iPad


I hate to say it but Apple iPad is surely the top selling tablet around since the dawn of tablets. However, the recent launch of Google’s Nexus 7 tablet has changed the scenario to a certain extent. Nexus 7 has sports high-end specs at a very reasonable price making it a high-end budget device. It certainly has an edge over the iPad both in terms of specs and price. Below are the top 6 reasons why Nexus 7 is a much better choice than an iPad.

1 – Form Factor

Nexus 7 sports a 7-inch display making it ideal for one-hand use and more people tend to carry a 7-inch tablet with them opposed to a 10-inch tablet (iPad). The weight of the tablet also plays an important role as people want the tablet to be as light as it can be and Nexus 7 weighs almost half the weight of the iPad. Although, it’s a choice of preference if you like smaller or larger displays but according to certain reports 7-inch tablets are perfect for daily usage as browsing, movies, gaming, etc

2 – No Restrictions

Android is an open source OS and allows developers to tweak it as much s they like to suit their needs. When it comes to app restrictions Android doesn’t really restrict any apps that you can’t use on your device on the contrary Apple has always been a pain in the a** by having banned certain apps in the past like apps related to WikiLeaks. Apple has also banned countries from downloading certain apps like Chinese can’t download apps that mention their spiritual leader, Dalai Lama. Android is open and you can download anything (given that it is available in your country0 from Google Play or you can literally download anything from the web and install it on your android device (in this case Nexus 7).

3 – Openly Customizable

Nexus 7’s Jelly Bean OS is fully customizable just like the earlier versions of Android. You can customize it completely to suit your needs and tweak it to your likeness. However, Apple’s iOS is very limited when it comes to tweaks and customization. So, Android as always has an upper-hand over iOS when it comes to customization.

4 – Better Pre-Installed Apps

Nexus 7 comes with best built-in apps like Google Now, Chrome, Gmail and other Google apps.So it is much convenient for users as most of the people are regular users of Google’s services. iPad comes with built-in apps that only cater to existing Apple users totally neglecting the newcomers who have no idea about those services and apps.

5 – Powerful CPU and Smoother Experience

Nexus 7 sports a Tegra 3 quad core processor that beats the processing power of the iPad. Also, Jelly Bean is buttery smooth and faster than any of the previous alterations of Android. Jelly Bean combined with Tegra 3 delivers a smooth experience and faster multitasking than any other tablet out there.

6 – Price

Who doesn’t love saving money? Well, I definitely do and choosing Nexus 7 over the iPad saves you a hefty amount of $300. The cheapest iPad will cost you nearly $499 while the Nexus 7 comes with a price tag of $199 so that’s a huge difference of $300. People in today’s world tend to choose tablets that deliver the best user experience in a budget.
These are some of the reasons that give the Nexus 7 an edge over the iPad. So, next time you’re out there buying a new tablet for yourself make sure to keep these points in mind before making a final decision.
