Apple iphone 3G S. What’s in a letter?

June 16th, 2009 Martin No comments

Some thought it meant Safety, a nod to increased Wi-Fi and 3G security. Others thought it meant Smart, drawing attention (to the already obvious) Smartphone credentials. A few even suggested Sexy. Well, a few of our friends suggested that last Friday night in the pub. But now the truth is out: the ‘S’ in the new Apple iPhone 3G S stands for Speed. Not all that interesting, we’ll agree, but certainly truthful: the iPhone 3G S will be running at least twice as fast, and almost three times as fast for some features. The internet loads quicker, flipping between applications is smoother, and every other transition, animation and similar will be streamlined by the tinkering Apple have done.

Think of the iPhone 3G S as an already impressive sports car given an all over tweak. Even if it looks exactly the same on the outside, the engine, suspension, gearbox and everything in-between have been modified, and when you get behind the wheel you really notice it. Some might complain that they wanted more, that Apple should have made it smaller / slimmer / lighter… but then this isn’t a ‘new’ phone: as the name suggests this is just what we has before, plus a little bit. A brief rundown of some of the other things they’ve beefed up:

  • 3-megapixel camera
  • Video recording and editing
  • Voice Control
  • Digital compass – pretty useless, but lovely nonetheless
  • Cut, Copy & Paste – from websites, documents, photos… basically from wherever you want
  • Landscape keyboard
  • Longer battery life

So all in all, what you haven’t got is a new phone, a reason to upgrade from your iphone 3G. But if you’re still stuck with the original iphone, or are thinking about getting into the gadget and application-filled world of smartphones, then this is the best choice you could make. Don’t believe us? Then read this Iphone 3G S review, or listen to this nerd convince you instead:

Acer F1. Smartphone with power as well as looks

June 15th, 2009 Martin No comments

acer_f1Computer manufacturer Acer will soon be hitting the shelves with their first ever mobile phone. The tentatively named Acer F1 was recently shown at the Computex exhibition in Taiwan. When the phone was first announced back in February, many scoffed at Acer’s plans (nobody ever likes an upstart newcomer!), but from what we’ve seen Acer’s smartphone will more than hold its own when it’s released in September.

Named after their obsession with Formula 1 (Acer have numerous tie-ins with the BAR-Honda and Ferrari teams), the Acer F1 plans to live up to its codename thanks to one of the most talked-about pieces of technology today, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor. The Snapdragon is rated at 1Ghz. By comparison, the iPhone 3G S’s ARM processor is rated at 620 MHz. This means the slick Windows Mobile 6.5 OS should pose no problem at all. Snapdragon also helps video, GPS, 3G, and Bluetooth all run more smoothly than ever before. Animations, transitions and everything else you can think to do will flow seamlessly.

Features include:

  • A massive 3.8 inch TFT touchscreen display with 480 x 800 pixels
  • HSDPA 7.2Mbps
  • GPS
  • Wi-Fi
  • 3.5mm headset jack, well positioned at the top of the handset
  • FM radio
  • 5MP autofocus camera with LED flash

Don’t want to take our word on how good the Acer F1 could be? Then have a look at this Acer F1 review here. Or just take a look at the video below…
