Apple’s iPhone Selling Even Better than Expected on Verizon

When Apple finally revealed that the iPhone was coming to Verizon Wireless, the entire internet collectively rejoiced. Many users are not happy with the quality of their phone service on AT&038;T Wireless, and Verizon (see review at http://www.wirelessinternet.net‘) is known for having the clearest calls in the industry. The iPhone has long been considered the premiere cell phone and so this coupling only makes sense.

The pre-order response at Verizon Wireless was astounding. Over 550,000 people pre-ordered the device immediately. That is an insane amount of pre-orders for a phone that hadn’t even come out yet.

Looking at pre-order figures is a great way for companies to gauge interest. New phone devices are coming out practically everyday. The iPhone is a great phone device, but it is certainly not the only choice when it comes to cell phones.

In this economy, it seems that many people are holding onto the devices for longer than the phone companies expect. However, with this new trend more accessories are being made, and the devices are being fine-tuned so that they will win the handset war. Picking which device you want can be a hard decision but a little bit of research up front can really make your life a lot easier for a few years.

Top Rated New Phones to Hit the Market

There have been a large number of smart phones entering the market in the last few months. Unlike their predecessors these devices are closer than ever to actively becoming a pocket sized computer with real power. Many of the current top rated phones that hit the market have a 1Ghz processor, or better. This factor alone makes cell phone technology more powerful that home computer technology of only a few years ago. An individual can have the same processing power in the palm of their hand, that an outdated computer required an entire desk Read the rest of this entry »

iPhone: A New Hor- excuse me Verizon

After a long time boasting an “app” for almost every function under the sun, the iPhone has since been lacking just one thing diversity. AT&T‘s reign as the exclusive iPhone carrier will soon come to an end, as Verizon, after much discussion from a technological standpoint, has finally come to terms with Apple as a second service provider to offer the iPhone device. But what will this mean for AT&T, whose iPhone sales have been among the bright spots for the company in an otherwise rocky business period.Though at first glance it might seem as if losing out on iPhone customers could be an irreparable blow to the carrier’s bread and butter, this recent news might actually have some silver lining, at least for current AT&T iPhone users. As many analysts predict a mass exodus from current AT&T subscribers over to Verizon, those who stay may see an improvement in network performance. The much publicized complaints about the AT&T iPhone network can be largely contributed to the heavy traffic among the countless current iPhone users. With more iPhone owners switching to the new network, it will inevitably free up space for those remaining to cruise at higher speeds and with less technical difficulties (i.e. dropped calls, undelivered texts).

Apple hosts surprise iPhone 4 press conference

Apple’s Wednesday announcement that it would be holding a press conference today to discuss the iPhone 4 came only the day before an open letter by Sen. Chuck Schumer lambasting the company for deceiving its customers, and urging it to remedy its business practices. Obviously, this antenna issue has got a lot of people feeling antsy. Will today’s conference alleviate those concerns, or just provide more fodder?The conference, held at Cupertino Town Hall, started at 10:00 in the morning, when hundreds of reporters poured in hoping to see Steve Jobs apologize and instead were treated to a large canvas on which the iPhone Antenna Song was being broadcast. The video was surely intended to lighten the mood, with its reminder that if you’re upset with the iPhone’s capabilities, you don’t have to buy one. Read the rest of this entry »

The Battle for 4G: LTE vs. WiMax

With the prospect of 4G networks looming on the horizon, we are all left wondering what technology will be used to back this new system. It appears that the fight has come down to Long Term Evolution (LTE) and WiMax. There are many similarities between these two technologies because both utilize OFDM, which is a way of dividing up available spectrum to ensure more flexibility than is present in 3G systems. LTE was created and trademarked by the 3^rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), while the aptly named WiMax was created by the WiMax Forum. Some suggest WiMax is an unusual innovative approach to 4G, whereas LTE follows a natural succession. But, perhaps the most relevant difference right now is that WiMax is already available. It is only being used in a few cities around the country, but the timetable for widespread use is much sooner than that of LTE. However, LTE is seeing greater adoption rates by the nation’s top mobile carriers. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s an Uncertain Future for Data Usage

When I purchased my first Smartphone, I was surprised and uncomfortable with the idea of having to pay a 30 a month data usage fee. The sales rep at AT&T assured me that this was simply for peace of mind, because of the unlimited data usage it covered. I begrudgingly accepted the plan, only because I really did want that new Blackberry Bold. I soon learned just how great of a deal this really was. With unlimited usage, I am free to use my mobile Internet to look up anything, anytime, no matter how frivolous. Since the rise of the Smartphone, we’ve grown to expect unlimited data usage, without any concern of overage charges. Well, this may all be about to change. Read the rest of this entry »

The Arrival of 4G and WiMax

As impressive as 3G may have been when it was first introduced, we’ve all known that 4G was the inevitable next step for wireless since the term 3G was coined. As with all of today’s technology, ever wireless Internet innovation begins its descent to becoming obsolete as soon as it is unveiled. But for now, and for at least the next several years, 4G is the newest, fastest, most advanced wireless on the market.The new 4G wireless is slowly being unveiled by different Internet and phone companies around the world. 4G promises higher data rates that allow for faster downloading and streaming from the web. Another term you may start to hear buzzing is WiMax. Very different from WiFi, WiMax could revolutionize our Internet world. One of the biggest problems of WiFi is the sometimes spotty connection, and the need to be within range. With portable WiMax, you basically create your own hotspot wherever you go. Another major advantage of this internet advancement is its ability to provide data, telecommunication and IPTV services at the same time. We are beginning to see the use of WiMax in some of the major cities throughout the country, and so far it seems to be finding success. Read the rest of this entry »

IT Opens Up Green Doors

Most of our communication is now done digitally. Phone calls are replacing in-person meetings and email has become the source of most newsletters, retail offers, and even personal greeting cards and invitations. Some people argue that the digital age is worsening our ability to communicate because so much of our interaction occurs through typed messages. Regardless of the personal effect it may be having, digital communication is a great way to reduce waste, carbon emissions, and fight global warming.When you send an email, the only energy consumed is that required to power electricity to run the computer. However, when you send a letter, you are not only using paper, but depending how far that letter must go, a great deal of fuel may be required to transport it to its destination. Another energy saving telecommunication technology is video-conferencing. This saves both time and money. Friends, family, and business partners from around the world can instantly be sitting face to face with video conferencing technology. Instead of having to travel to meet whoever is on the other side of the screen, you simply turn on your computer. No travel time, or fuel for cars or planes is necessary.
