One of the first things bloggers do when they attend an event where a new smartphone is announced is compare said smartphone’s performance against others, more established names in the smartphone industry. Our friends over at SlashGear did exactly this at yesterday’s Nokia World, where Nokia announced its first Windows Phone 7-based smartphone called the Lumia 800, comparing its browser performance against the iPhone 4S and the Samsung Galaxy S II.
Unless you've been living under a rock, or perhaps an oversized Android phone, the chances are you know that both Samsung and Apple have been at each other's throats for some time now, with both claiming and counter-claiming all kinds of weird and wonderful things.
So we know Siri is just about the coolest thing this year in mobile technology, but though still limited by its creation, there are companies out there looking to expand on Siri's usefulness. Queue ThinkGeek.
When camera first met cellphone, it was a novelty to have the two integrated, and the quality of stills produced wasn't given much consideration. Nowadays, not only is a camera considered to be something of a necessity, but consumers expect a solid, X-megapixel snapper to capture those all-important moments that can spring up at any time.
When Apple unveiled the new iPhone 4S, one of the new features they took the time to flaunt was the newly improved camera.
When Apple announced the iPhone 4S a couple of weeks ago, they announced that a select few countries were set to get the new handset as early as the following week. While some were lucky enough to only have a week or so to wait in order to get their hands on the next iPhone, some were left to wait just a little bit longer.
If there were any doubts as to whether the iPhone 4S was going to match the incredible success of the iPhone 4, the various milestones reached by Apple since last Friday's launch have certainly answered the skeptics with aplomb.
Apple's iPhone 4S might be its latest all-singing and all-dancing smartphone, and it might be made out of some rather nice looking glass and metal, but according to the latest tear-down report, the iPhone 4S costs Apple just $196 to produce.
One thing we have come to realize is, Siri isn't as useful as some of us may like. In its current state, Siri is unable to interact with Twitter and Facebook natively. Our very own whiz kid Steven Chi has documented a workaround so that you can update your Twitter and Facebook account via Siri.
We’ve been doing a lot of comparison posts recently, mostly involving the comparing of one feature of the iPhone 4S against a comparable feature of another smartphone and we’ll be doing one more comparison today: the video recording performance of the iPhone 4S versus that of the Galaxy S II.
