Iphone, IPad and Mobile Phones

The tablet war has indeed begun…

With so many tablets out there, how can you decide which is right for you? Well, let’s compare the JooJoo with the iPad.

JooJoo’s Advantages over the iPad

-Higher Resolution than iPad

-JooJoo has built-in camera

-JooJoo has a built-in USB drive

-1.6 GHz processor (compared to the 1.0 GHz processor on iPad)

-Full adobe flash playback support at launch (good news for gamers)

-Earlier release (March 25, 2010)

-Bigger screen than iPad (12.1″ vs. 9.7″)

-Sleek looking (could be argued)

Disadvantages against iPad

-Heavier than iPad (2.4lbs vs. iPad’s 1.5lbs)

-Thicker than iPad

-Battery Life is not as good (5 hours of Wi-fi on JooJoo vs. 10 hours of Wi-fi on iPad)

-only 4 GB storage space on the JooJoo (choice between 16 GB, 32GB, and 64GB storage space on the Ipad)

-Doesn’t support a 3G connection

Both feature:

-Full HD capability

-Same Starting Price

-Portrait or landscape

-No Multitasking

-Support for Multitouch

-Support for Wi-fi and blue-tooth

There are several key take-aways. One of the major pitfalls of the JooJoo is that it doesn’t support a 3G connection, meaning that your Internet access to limited to Wi-Fi. However, something unique that the JooJoo offers over the iPad is its support for flash. Many websites are built using flash and as I’m sure most of you gamers know, a very large portion of web games are made using flash. With the iPad, you won’t be able to view the flash movies or play flash games.

Overall, only you can make the choice between what you like and what you don’t.

There is a lot going on in the wireless cell phone industry these days, and for the consumer it’s the best time to shop around for the hottest phone for the price, and the least expensive wireless phone plan on the market. It’s hard to keep up with all the new phones out there, but some companies are offering free phones with their service plans. These phones aren’t the top of the line, but they certainly are good enough for day-to-day usage. The new druid and smart phone models that are advertised lately everywhere aren’t available as free items, but there is a place where you can get a $150 dollar discount on a good Samsung i7500 smart phone. T-Mobile and Sprint have recently teamed up with a smaller company called Liberty International to offer something revolutionary in the cell phone industry– a free unlimited minutes wireless plan with no contracts or credit checks and a discount on a Samsung iPhone.

In addition to this, you will also be eligible for a $150 dollar discount on a Samsung i7500 smart phone, and be given the chance to start your own virtual cell phone franchise without an investment.

The wireless phone industry is highly competitive and profitable. This is why companies like T-Mobile and Sprint are looking for ways to attract new customers. So, for those of you who are interested in a good wireless cell phone and plan, you should check their offer out.

As you can see the iPad offers amazing functionality, letting you move anywhere with virtually no wires and mouse attached to it. While still having a powerful tool at your fingertips! I wish you enjoy your new iPad tablet the same way I’m doing it now, As always feel free to read my blog and let me know your ideas and comments.

Last year in the fall, I began covering the CECT line of unlocked iPhone clones. Although I personally loved the phones and absolutely saw the need for them, at that time the economy was still very robust. I figured there was probably a 50 / 50 chance that these Chinese knock off phones would catch on.

Sure, there will always be people like me who love the latest technology and become absolute giddy at the idea of not having to pay anywhere near full price for it. And folks like me hate the idea of being tied to an expensive carrier / network or a long term contract, but not every one worries about networks and I fully realize this.

Even so, this time last year my assertions that the Chinese iPhone clones were actually better in some ways than the original fell upon some deaf ears. Yes, the clone manufacturers allowed for a removable battery, added more speakers, and also added an FM radio an additional sim slot, but this was still not enough to intrigue those who wanted the original, which is still absolutely understandable.

But, as the economy soured and the iPhone clones became more mainstream, the tide began to turn. People who had actually laughed at my talk of clones before are now asking me about which ones they should maybe consider buying. The market has grown so much that the tri band models were expanded upon to include models that support all MHz bands (quad bands).

So, as I write this nearly a year later, I’m very grateful to be writing about the differences between two quad band knock offs, because that means that this market is going very strong. Now, onto the SciPhone versus CECT P168 Plus.

Quad Band Version of the iClone P168: The original CECT P168 was (and probably still is) the best selling, most well known iPhone clone on the market. It was the original and in my opinion, it is still among the best. (And it is by far the easiest for which to obtain accessories.)

However, if there was one complaint to it, it was that it only supported networks on 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz bands. A few carriers (like some rural A&T customers) are on the 850 MHz band, as well as are carriers outside of the United States. To address this, manufacturer CECT rolled out the updated, version of the 168 (called the Plus or 168+) that included the 850 MHz band.

Today, this quad band has new, updated: slide unlock feature; web cam; e book reader; and slight improvements to the camera, MP3 / MP4, and software. Additionally, the touch screen on the new version feels a bit more like glass.

So, How Is The SciPhone Different? This one is called many different names, including the CECT i68, Java 32, or the Y32. Some people consider this the latest update to the P168 Quad Band. Although there are some similarities, I consider the changes to this one much more significant than the 168 adding an additional band.

The SciPhone is a shake and tilt model, which means that you can advance music, media, photos, etc. by only gently shaking the phone. You can take the images to wide screen by only tilting the phone. There’s no scrolling involved. This feature is a bit controversial. Folks either love it or don’t see what all the hype is about. (I love it and find that it makes the phone very intuitive.)

But, in addition to shake and tilt, there are three major ways that the SciPhone is really different, as follows: 1) It’s a bit smaller and sleeker than previous clones; 2) It’s slightly faster than previous models. (Slightly is the operative word here. I’m only talking milliseconds, but I know some people consider this important.) 3) It has the latest version of Java which opens so many productivity and gaming doors, like PowerPoint, Word, and Excel to name a couple. The gaming download possibilities are numerous here.

Both phones are high performers with very solid customer satisfaction. I like them both. Price wise, you will typically pay $20 – $30 more for the SciPhone, but if you consider the additional productivity and gaming possibilities, this does not seem so bad. And, most times you can get either for under $150. If you know you need a quad band phone and want a clone, which of these you prefer really depends upon whether you want the latest version of what has been the best seller or the new, (but very loaded) kid on the block.

For those of you who have never heard of iPad testing, it is a program run by companies selling Apple’s products. As long as you follow through on the requirements, you can have your own Apple iPad on your desk in no time. An iPad tester can find many offers online and avoid those annoying contests to try and win one. Getting to be one of the first to own and operate an iPad is easier than you think. If I’ve caught your interest then keep on reading to learn how you can get an iPad to keep free.

How Are Companies Able to Give Away iPads For Free?

Most offers like these are paid for by advertisers or 3rd party investors. They require consumers to fulfill a few requirements and then once completed, they send the consumer a new product to try out. As long as you complete your end of the deal, you’ll find out this offer to be “REAL” and your tablet-style computer will be yours to keep without waiting to see if you’ve won a contest or was lucky enough to have your email address picked from a list of about a million others.

Offering free iPads for testing is a really inexpensive way for advertisers to get the word out about this new revolutionary product. The Apple Corporation and other companies will use the iPad test to elicit consumer opinions and to find what the public thinks of the new product. They also may learn if the product is being used properly and if any new applications need to be developed in order to increase sales and keep the public’s interest high. Let’s face it, after getting one for free I’m sure you’ll become a valued customer as well.

Please Be Aware Though:

You must be a resident of the United States to apply and you have to be at least 18 years old to qualify. This offer will not last long and once the iPad is available to the public, these free offers will often disappear. Don’t waste your time entering contests only to be disappointed when you don’t win. iPad testing offers are not a scam and they do work. I will caution you to be careful of any offer asking you for your social security number or your bank account information in order to be put on their list. These offers scream fraud.

Most people who own a cell phone would have heard about iPhone. It is an advanced communication system that was designed not just for the hi-tech geeks to enjoy but for everyone. The iPhone is a very versatile and adaptable communication device; you can customize and personalize it to your own likings or preferences. You can also install a lot of cool applications that will keep you well informed with anything you do when you are on the go.

The common features that you have always seen such as high quality music and movie playing as well as the touch screen are just the tip of the iceberg. There are tons of great iPhone applications available that you can just download from the internet. Couple with the highly customizable capabilities, you can be certain that you can make your iPhone unique to your own personality.

Today, more and more people are using the Web 2.0 system such as MySpace and Facebook (a.k.a Social Networking websites) to communicate with their friends and families no matter where they are located. If you use Facebook on a daily basis, you may want to download the new Facebook iPhone application.

The Facebook iPhone app is perhaps one of the best iPhone app that we have ever seen so far. After using it, many people actually like using the Facebook on their iPhones with this new app more than on the actual Facebook website itself. MySpace is also working on its own iPhone app, and is set to launch it very soon. In the meantime, you can access the MySpace Mobile webapp from your iPhone.

So, if Facebook and MySpace are your primary means of online communication these days, you definitely want to keep an eye on these iPhone applications as they allow you to keep in touch with friends and families anytime and anywhere you want.

If you are an enthusiast moviegoer, you will love an iPhone app called Showtime. This particular iPhone application has the capability to find movie theaters nearest to you and will display the movies being shown in that movie theater. It provides the synopsis and background of the story in the movie; and the movie ratings from the critics as well.

WeatherBug is another popular iPhone application, especially for those who love outdoor activities. It will keep you informed of the current weather in your state or even the entire country. The application also allow you to access the weather cameras as well as the satellite maps.

My favorite iPhone application is the iWant. It helps me find services and businesses around my area. iWant uses GPS and location services to allow you to find nearby restaurants, banks, gas, lodging, shopping centers and even a coffee shop around you. One cool thing about iWant is that as you move about in your car, the results refresh automatically, which means you can constantly get the latest information from this app even though you are currently on the move.

And needless to say that there are also hundreds or even thousands of games that you can download into your iPhone. With all the latest games available for download, you can be sure that you will never get bored as long as you have your iPhone with you.

These are just some examples of iPhone applications. There are thousands of them and the number keeps growing as more and more application developers are building new applications for iPhone. Whatever you want, you can be sure that you will find the right applications for your needs.
