iPhone 4S Mini Review/Review

So it has been 4 days since the iPhone 4S has been launched by Apple at various carriers/retailers and the Apple Store. Have you got your iPhone 4S yet?



Motorola Mobility New Gadgets Revealed

After the conference led by Mr. Sanjay Jha, two devices have been announced by Motorola Mobility. The first being Motoactv and the last being the Droid RAZR.

Motoactv

So what are these devices and what do they do? Well according to Mr. Jha, the Motoactv is Motorola's very first music and fitness device combined together, sort of what you see in an iPod Nano with the benefit (depending on who you ask of course) of it running on Android. Yup there's some more Android love again! The Motoactv boasts a 600Mhz processor, running Android (version is yet to be known) and weighs at 35grams, has a built in Heart-rate monitor, Capacitive screen, can store up to 4,000 songs and has a built in FM radio.

Rogers Releases the HTC Jetstream LTE Tablet



So we all know that Bell and Rogers have both come out with LTE in their respective markets, mainly focusing on populous areas such as cities and its partial suburbs. For those of you who may not know, LTE means Long Term Evolution, basically instead of getting the "4G" speeds between 14.4Mbps to 42Mpbs, LTE is even faster, but comes with a price - an expensive data plan.

You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream


Yes, you heard me correct. No not the ice cream you get from the grocery stores, or the ice cream truck that comes through a neighbourhood, and have kids running towards it, selecting their favourite flavour of ice cream.

What I am talking about is Google's upcoming Operating System - Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich. To top it off, Samsung is also releasing their device - the Galaxy Nexus formerly known as the Nexus Prime.

Emp's Thoughts - iOS Set Up vs Android Set Up






For all of you fan boys out there for iOS or Android, no this is not to bash either platform, but rather to discuss what I think about the two platforms in terms of starting it up/setting it up for use the first time.

Now we all have experienced the joys of opening up our new iPhone or Android devices, eager to set it up and to be able to use it.

iPhone 4S vs Samsung Galaxy S II Start Up time

Just comparing the two in terms of start up times.

Note: I think the iPhone 4S took longer because it hasn't been activated yet, but I did boot it up before hand and set up the language/region and WiFi. So theoretically it was the 2nd boot up. I'll upload that when I get a chance. Still need to get a micro sim and then a micro sim adapter for me to proceed further with the review heh.

iPhone 4S Un Boxing

The wait is finally here for you iOS/iPhone fans. Fortunately I got my hands on a 16GB factory unlocked iPhone 4S from the Apple Store for free. I shall not say how ;)\

Needless to say I've uploaded some pics and a video of me unboxing the iPhone 4S.
