Iphone and MMS?? About Time

September 25th, 2009

When the Iphone came out, it was thought to be very advanced for its time. While it lacked certain features, it made up for in others.

One of the key features not present on the Iphone during its release is multimedia messaging. The feature has been present in phones for years but was mysteriously lacking on the Iphone.

Multi media messaging gives users the ability to transmit media files to other users via text message. These files can include audio, pictures, and or video.

While not deal breaking as can be seen by sales of the Iphone, MMS is a necessity for many.

Iphone fans rejoice! As with many features that have been absent, Apple is slowly adding them to their newer generations Iphones.

The MMS feature was promised to be introduced during the life span of the new Iphone 3GS. Well Wait no more because MMS is now a reality here in North America. Head on over to att.com for the details on a feature that is long overdue.

Hail Mary From Sony?

September 21st, 2009

It seems now a days Sony can’t get anything right with their gaming division. While the Play Station 2 dominated its generation, the same is not true for either the Play Station 3 or Sony’s portable device, the PSP.

While not considered a financial failure, the Play Station 3 fails to achieve the same success of the the PS2.

The Play Station 3 has had a few things going against it from the get go. These include: A  high price tag, A new proprietary disc (blu ray), poor design, hard to develop for, stiff competition from Microsoft.

In an attempt to salvage whatever market share it can Sony it seems, is pulling out all the stops. This year alone we saw the a re-design of the Play Station 3 along with a price drop. And still to come, the redesign of the PSP and the release of a new handheld titled PSP Go.

The PSP Go is designed to co-exist with the PSP. Unlike its counterpart it does not have a UMD drive. The PSP Go is designed to take advantage of the Play Station Network. It is set to be released this October.

The success of the PSP Go is unknown at the moment. Despite the difference in target audience, the PSP Go faces stiff competition in the handheld market.

Competitors include: The Nintendo DS, PSP, Iphone/Ipod Touch, and multimedia phones.

While the winners of this console generation are a given, the foundation for the next generation are set in place. Sony used to dominate gaming, there is no reason why they can’t do the same again.

It all depends on how they are perceived by the gaming community.

What Is The Best Camera Phone To Buy?

September 20th, 2009

Cell phones keep evolving each year. They no longer are designed strictly for phone conversations.

A common feature found in phones, is a built in camera.  With each new release, camera phones produce picture quality that rivals digital cameras. In fact many phones are now being designed resemble digital cameras.

As a consumer, there are many phone models to choose from. Not all camera phones are created equally however. Before making a camera phone purchase, research all options thoroughly.

There currently are four phones that lead the pack in the camera phone arena. All four phones produce great quality pictures.

These 8 mega pixel phones are: Sony Ericsson C905, Samsung i8510 INNOV8, Samsung M8800 Pixon and LG KC910 Renoir

The deciding factor with these phones may lie with brand loyalty. Each phone comes with its pros and cons.

The Sony Ericsson phone camera interface is one of the best amongst the bunch. The Samsung Pixon produces excellent image quality, and the Renoir comes packed with features.

The ultimate test lies with testing each phone out before making a purchasing decision. A big deciding factor when making a camera phone purchase is the user interface.

Holding and exploring the phones features will expose any flaws present with the phone.

Although there are many things to consider before making a purchase, the above mentioned phones are truly the top in their class.
