The sixth generation of Apple's vaunted iPhone—the iPhone 5—is expected to arrive in Apple stores worldwide on September 21, 2012, according to latest rumors approximately one year after the launch of the iPhone 4S. Google's Android, nipping at its heels for years, is expected to overtake Apple's iPhone in market share this year putting Apple on the defensive. If there ever were a time for the iPhone to woo and wow potential buyers, now would be it. The iPhone 5 should continue the biennial pattern of issuing a major overhaul the year after a more evolutionary model, like the 3GS and 4S. With every new iteration, the questions on everyone's mind are:

1. What's new? (What are the new added features?)

2. What does it look like?

3. When does it come out exactly?

Launch date change: While iOS 6 was announced at the WWDC in San Francisco in June, Apple has so far been mum with details concerning the iPhone 5 itself. The actual date of the iPhone 5's availability has not yet been announced, but is expected towards the end of the summer. The latest rumors point to a September 21 launch in the United States.

So far, Apple's been characteristically mum
on the details on all future unannounced
products, but the rumor mill and fake
pictures are already starting to spring up.
Here's what we can probably expect: 4G: The iPhone 4 and 4S are belatedly available on Verizon in the
United States (and the latter on
Sprint), but 4G (LTE) is likely not going
to be available until AT&T releases its
own 4G service (HSPA+) nationwide,
expected in later 2011 at the earliest. The iPhone 5, released in 2012, will
likely be the first 4G iPhone available on all three US carriers (AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint). This is,admittedly, a disappointment for Verizon users, since its speedy LTE network will have been deployed for well over a year and accessible with competitive (read: Android) devices during that time. Edge-to-edge, larger screen. The entire front face of the iPhone might be a screen, doing away with the physical
home button, or possibly integrating it into the display itself. Rumors suggest the screen will grow from 3.5 inches to
3.75 inches. Smaller port. The 21-mm wide, 30-pin connector port at the bottom of the phone
is expected to be replaced with a narrower
port, requiring new USB and charging
cables and connectors. Faster chip. With each successive Apple mobile operating system, increased
complexity and added features create
strains on the processor. Apple is likely to
move away from working with Samsung,
with whom it has a number of outstanding
patent lawsuits underway, and move to an updated, dual-core A5X chip, which the
iPhone 5 will share with the newest (third-
generation) iPad. The A5X has a 1 GHz
CPU, and a quad-core GPU. The heavily-
rumored A6 chip will likely appear in the
7th generation iPhone and 4th generation iPad, both to be unveiled in 2013. Polysilicon (p-Si) touchscreen mounted on Gorilla
Glass. The Japanese newspaper, Nikkan, has reported a rumor that the 2012 iPhone
will switch to a new display material that will
enable it to be thinner, lighter, and less
power-intensive than current displays. If
even the last claim is accurate, that will be a
major boon to battery life, since a phone's display is typically the largest draw on
power. This display technologically will
putatively be manufactured by Sharp,
starting the spring of 2012 ahead of the
phone's summer launch.
Gorilla Glass, a Corning innovation, resists breakage far better than any other
commercially-available glass. Coupled with
the p-Si touchscreen, the iPhone 5 will
likely be the brightest- and toughest-
screened iPhone yet. More memory. The iPhone app store shows no signs of abating in popularity, and
without SD card memory expansion in
Android phones, Apple will up the phone
storage options available. Expect 64GB
and 128GB variants. Improved battery. The iPhone 5 might be the first to use the organic radical battery
(ORB) technology developed by Japan's
NEC, which is more environmentally-
friendly than current lithium ion batteries that have dangerous heavy metals. ORB also boasts an absurdly fast recharge time (about 30 seconds) and higher energy density (will be able to pack more power into a smaller battery). Better camera. The iPhone 5 might be the first iPhone to cross the 10 million pixel threshold with its camera (the iPhone 4S boasts an 8 MP camera), unsurprising as high-resolution images have always been a hallmark of Apple's products. Near-Field Communication (NFC) chip. Debuted on the Samsung Nexus S and possibly implemented on the iPhone in the 5th generation product, this newest hardware addition enables contactless communication between a phone and objects similarly embedded NFC capabilities. This should eventually enable things like paying via credit card by holding your phone over a terminal for a second,or paying for things from vending machines using your phone. The technology is similar to Bluetooth although it uses less energy and establishes a connection far more quickly (although at a much closer range -a few inches away instead of yards away). The most compelling reason for not installing an NFC chip is that the technology has really been Google's bailiwick, since adoption of the technology at POS (point of sale) retail terminals has been pushed by Google Wallet. Apple might strategically choose to lag here. Form factor improvements. Apple puts a tremendous amount of emphasis on the sleekness of its products. The iPhone 5 will be no exception, with a modern,lightweight, and thin look. Expect some surprises in terms of shape and, especially, materials, as Apple hopes to push the envelope and fend off attacks from Android handmakers, its largest competition. Case material improvements. To round out the environmental friendliness of the new device, more advanced, naturally-sourced plastics might be used in the case. For example, isoplast polymers might replace
the previously used polycarbonate case
manufactured with BPA (bisphenol-A). Some rumors point to Liquidmetal, a "smooth as liquid" metallic alloy that can be
injection molded for plasticity, as a novel case treatment: the curves of a plastic, but with the luster and resistance to breakage
of metal. Liquidmetal is an alloy of titanium, copper, nickel, zirconium, and other
metallic elements. Improved antenna design. After the fiasco of the iPhone 4's wraparound metal antenna,
Apple has to make some ground in
reception in its new overhaul. This has
been addressed somewhat by iOS 5
already, which purports to choose
between two sets of antenna based on the strength of the signal. But for the 2012
iPhone, expect a new antenna that doesn't
require a special case or on-the-fly
antenna selection to avoid "death grip"
interference. This will probably be a benefit
that Apple will not make a whole lot of fuss about, since it would only draw attention to
the iPhone 4's serious shortcoming, and
because it was supposedly addressed via
iOS 5. Possible innovations and features Apple usually includes something unique
and technologically cutting-edge into each
iteration of the iPhone (like the smudge-
proof screen in the 3G and glass case in
the iPhone 4 and 4S). Here are some
long-shot possibilities for the iPhone in 2012:the case could be made of the battery itself
(lithium ion polymer), reducing weight and
improving battery life the button could be phased out, replaced
with a virtual button on-screen face or thumb recognition as a security
measure the phone could be a Wifi hub using the
carrier 4G connection a "pico-projector" - video can be projected
a short distance onto a flat surface a clear "window phone" in which the
phone could be transparent What do we know so far? Toshiba Mobile Display Company is
building a $1.2 billion factory to produce
LCD panels for the iPhone 5. The factory is
scheduled to be operational in the second
half of 2011, ready to produce iPhone 5
displays for the 2012 launch. A consortium of three Japanese display
manufacturers - Toshiba, Hitachi, and
Sony - are merging their mobile display
businesses in early 2012. They are
reportedly working on a 4-inch (10.1 cm)
display that is rumored to be used in the iPhone 5.

Sony Xperia Z Smartphone to Unleash in August 2012



Sony’s flagship device for the second half of the year year, the Sony Xperia Z, is rumored to be slated for an August 2012 launch.

This device will replace the company’s current flagship device, the Xperia S.

The forthcoming Xperia Z handset joins Sony’s upcoming lineup of smartphones this year that includes the Xperia C, Xperia E and Xperia Y three new second-generation NXT phones.

Unlike the Xperia Z, however, these three devices will reportedly be launched earlier, possibly in July 2012.
These devices will all carry an OLED display and an S4 Snapdragon processor.

Moreover, they will have camera lenses with Cybershot technology and lenses from the T Camera line.

They will likewise sport PlayStation Certification and have an integrated Walkman audio player.

However, these specifications are only based on rumors, for now, and might not even be present in the phones.

At the very least, we know that the specifications of the Xperia Z will be higher than those of the Xperia S which is still a pretty decent phone according to today’s standards.

The Xperia S sports a 4.3-inch LED-backlit capacitive LCD touchscreen and a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels.

It also has a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon for its processor.

At any rate, consumers will know soon enough as Sony is scheduled to reveal its fresh Xperia devices in an Xperia media preview event to be held in Singapore this coming June 20th.

Since its separation from its former partner, Ericsson, Sony had been quite aggressive in producing and marketing its new devices.

It made tech headlines recently through a Facebook campaign called “Fast Forward” that allowed users to decide when the company will unveil one of its new Xperia devices.

This campaign revealed the Xperia Miro, an Android device targeted at the low- or mid-tier market.

The Japanese company as well recently unveiled another low-end smartphone called the Xperia Tipo.

Android Apps Easily Hijacked




Dead Trigger, a relatively popular FPS game for the android and IOS version eventually become free for Android.

The reason is due to exceptionally high levels of piracy in Android according to its developers, Madfinger Games. It is a sad situation, especially for small developers.

We all know the android operating system has grown rapidly in the last two years.

With the advances experienced by the android, most developers continue to bring their applications on Google’s platform.

This is regardless of the problems such as fragmentation and monetization.

Very serious problems in dealing with the android is piracy. Android apps is very easy Hijacked. And its results are pirated and will be distributed as an APK file, after which the Android Apps is installed on pirated android device.

Malware and security issues have not been proven as a deterrent enough people keep plowing applications.

And, Google also does not care about what is installed APK file on Android Apps devices.

Android Apps Easily Hijacked This does not apply to the IOS, because each application published by Apple for free or paid, the application needs to validate the apple, and must be downloaded through the app store.

Monetization issues are not new in Android Apps. According to a report by Flurry, for every $ 1 earned by the developer at IOS, Android developers get only 24 cents.

This is why many developers, including major developers such as Rovio, go put ads on the applications they have on Android Apps, while the developer also has an ad- free paid version for IOS.

Last Update Android Apps Jelly Bean says Android OS will be equipped with encryption model of paid applications.

The move is expected to slow the growth of piracy on Android.

Apple secures EU-wide Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7



US electronics giant Apple and South Korea's Samsung Electronics each scored partial court victories in Germany Tuesday in their global war over rival tablet computers.

A regional appeals court in the western city of Duesseldorf upheld a ban on sales of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 7.7 computer for infringing on Apple's design patent, and extended it from Germany to the rest of the European Union.

But it said that the redesigned Galaxy Tab 10.1 N was now sufficiently different to the Apple iPad to be acceptable under competition law.

The two technology giants are engaged in a legal battle involving dozens of cases worldwide as they struggle for leadership in the hugely lucrative smartphone and tablet computer market.

Apple launched legal action in April last year, accusing Samsung of "slavishly" copying its iPhone and iPad designs.

Samsung has focused its own lawsuits on technology patents rather than design.

In November, the Duesseldorf regional court had slapped a temporary ban on Samsung's previous model, the Galaxy Tab 10.1, saying it copied the iPad.

But changes Samsung made to the successor model for the German market to meet the court's demands rendered the tablet computer sufficiently different, it said in February Apple appealed this decision.

Earlier that month, two other courts in Germany also quashed Apple's request to impose a preliminary ban on sales of its Galaxy Tab 10.1N and Nexus smartphone.

Nokia losses quadruple as smartphone sales fall 34pc




Nokia's losses have quadrupled on sagging sales of smartphones but its shares jumped as overall sales exceeded forecasts. Nokia posted a net loss of €1.41bn (£893.8m) in the second quarter, compared with a loss of €368m in the same period last year.

Overall sales were down 19pc to €7.54bn, not as low as analysts' forecast of €7.36bn, according to financial data provider FactSet. Smartphone sales were weak, however, dropping 34pc to €1.54bn. Nokia shares jumped 10pc to €1.50 after the report. Analyst Mikko Ervasti at Evli Bank in Helsinki said Nokia performed better than expected in lower-end devices,shipping 84m such units compared with market expectations of 80m.

The Finnish company was the world's
leading mobile phone maker for more than a decade but was overtaken by Samsung in the first quarter, according to research firm Gartner. Facing stiff competition from Apple's iPhone
and devices running on Google's Android software, Nokia tried to stem the decline in smartphones in part through a partnership with Microsoft announced last year, replacing Nokia's existing Symbian operating platform with Microsoft's Windows Phone software.

A drop in sales was expected during this transition period, and Nokia said that the decline of Symbian phones dragged down sales in all regions expect for North America, where the decline was "more than offset" by sales of Nokia's Lumia devices, which run on the Windows software. Nokia said it sold 4m Lumia devices worldwide in the quarter. Questions arose about Lumia sales in the US earlier this week when Nokia and AT&T halved the price of the flagship Lumia 900 to $50, just three months after its introduction. Nokia called the cut "a normal strategy that is put in place during the life cycle of most phones".

Nokia's global market share has steadily shrunk from the peak of 40pc in 2008 to 29pc in 2011 and is expected to dwindle further this year. Meanwhile, Nokia shares have fallen to their lowest level since the 1990s, plunging below €2 in mid-June.
