Due to the highly advanced technology these days, our life has become much easier and smoother. With increasing electronic equipments coming in the shops, people wish to own nearly each one to improve their way of living. You will be surprised once you step into the techno-world of gadgets and widgets. From electronic kitchen equipments to LCD TVs, from tiny laptops to astonishing mobile phones, the extremely developed skill and continuous up gradation in the technical world, the equipments have extremely improved. Apple iPhone is quite popular these days, isn’t it? Its an astonishing mobile phone with wonderful applications and features, check if it truly works better than other smartphones. Here are some hardware features which help you to compare Apple iPhone 3G with others smartphones. – Camera: The image firmware of the Apple iPhone 3G is recently updated, so the camera’s capture functionality is better than earlier. Photos captured with the latest Apple iPhone 3G look brighter and sharper. The close-ups, landscape photos have some hassle in concentrating as it uses the simple fixed focus lens. This is the biggest drawback of Apple iPhone 3G as it is unchanged from its older models. Its got the similar fixed focus and 2 megapixel camera, with the similar fundamental software. It also lacks video recording, moreover as it yet uses touch screen button, snapping a picture is slightly difficult. – Bluetooth: Other smartphone have A2DP headphones, so that the user carries additional batteries along. Apple iPhone 3G can not be support wireless speakers and headphones as it lacks A2DP feature. Alhough, it has an easy wireless music though. – Carrier Limitations: Though Apple iPhone 3G has HSDPA and UMTS data access, the largest problem is, it is available only in the US which includes comparatively limited area for 3G. But some smartphones like Sprint and Verizon have greater coverage area and also known 3G services to these extended areas. Hence, Apple iPhone 3G has restricted service providers. – Software: The cell phones functionality depends solely on its software, as the software and hardware are perfectly connected to each other. Software influences on the performance of the hardware in any technical device. The camera software is highly basic as well as the Bluetooth support in Apple iPhone 3G. Similar to any other smartphone, it doesn’t support detection for handsfree dialing. It lacks copy and paste feature, it has a combined email box and some other features are really missing in the Apple iPhone 3G. But these software can really be fixed in Apple iPhone 3G! at the same time, you cant retrofit Apple iPHhone 3G’s present camera feature. However it is equally tough to make challenging smartphones some less clunky or fit in the missing features such as Wi-Fi.

PALM PRE versus iPhone – which one to choose?

Palm has launched its new smartphone now, called Palm Pre.

So far only available on Sprint network for a price of USD 199.99 competing with the price of iPhone.

So what are the similarities and what are the differences between these two gadgets?

Here is the list of Palm Pre capabilities and functionalities.

Layered calendars and linked contacts
Pre uses the Palm® Synergy™ feature to bring your Outlook®, Google, and Facebook® calendars together for one logical view of your day. And if you have the same contacts in different places, Pre can link them together, making it easy to find the information you need.1,2

Activity cards
Keep multiple applications open and move easily between them—email, maps, photos, websites, whatever.3 Pre thinks of your applications as activity cards, and lets you flip through them, move them around, or throw them away off screen.

Intuitive notifications
Things like text messages and calendar appointments appear as notifications at the bottom of the screen. You’ll know what’s going on without being completely interrupted or losing your train of thought.

Combined messaging
Thanks to Palm Synergy, your conversations with the same person are grouped together in one chat-style view. (Even if it started in IM, for example, and you want to reply with text.) You can also see who’s online right from contacts, and start a new conversation with just one touch.1

Universal search4
Simply start typing to begin searching your contacts and applications.4 Pre begins with information on the phone, and then offers to search Google, Google Maps, Wikipedia, or Twitter. With a fast browser at 3G speeds, you’ll find what you’re looking for in no time.5

Email, Wi-Fi, and GPS
Check Microsoft Exchange email or personal email accounts like Gmail, Hotmail, AOL, and Yahoo!.1,6 Take advantage of Wi-Fi hotspots.1 And look up directions or nearby points of interest using GPS.7 It’s everything you need when you’re on the go.

Photos, Music, and Videos
Take great pictures with the built-in camera and flash. Watch a video on the vibrant color touchscreen. Buy songs from the Amazon MP3 store1 and listen using the built-in music player. Plus, use the Palm media sync feature to transfer your DRM-free iTunes music, podcasts, photos, and more to your Pre.

Breakthrough design
Slide out the keyboard for faster and easier texting. Close it up and rotate Pre for music, websites, photos, and videos in full widescreen glory. You get the best of both worlds in one beautifully designed phone

Applications
Get applications by browsing the catalog on your Pre, and then download them over the air directly to your phone.1 Apps designed for the Palm webOS™ platform are integrated with other apps on the phone. Buy movie tickets, for example, and you can add the times right to your calendar.8

8 – Third party software may be required at an additional cost. Within wireless coverage area only. Requires data services at additional cost. Actual data speeds vary based on network capacity and application design.

So what is the verdict?

Based on this list of functionalities it is clear that Palm Pre is geared towards a different segment of users than the iPhone users.

I beg to see how Palm will take up the competition with iPhone when it comes to the amount of applications available to iPhone and how Apple has made it available to developers through their SDK.

This is one of the main differences, however there are more that differ these two smart phones from each other. The design is of course different and the concept of interacting with the users. Apple has still the edge as they rely on touch completely as Palm still uses keyboard option for the users. Given the development and user ability, it makes the iPhone the winner on this specter as well.

Palm Pre has one advanage over iPhone with its capability to have more than one application active at the same time, as Palm Pre uses available memory and share it between application and notify you when there is not enough memory to seve all applications active. Whether you need this multi tasking option is questionable as you probably will have enough to handle one task at the time when you are on the move anyway. However, for a busy business man it might come in handy as you want to have email and office related applications active simultaneously.

My verdict is still, stick to the iPhone as it offers more versitiliy than the Palm Pre. However it is your choice really.

Millimeters Matter: Small differences in touchscreen sensitivity actually reveal exponential difference in performance. Less sensitive touchscreen systems are infuriating to use for typing.

The clear winner was the iPhone’s touch sensor, which showed the most linear tracking with the least amount of stair-stepping. The Droid Eris and Nexus One tied for second with only faint wiggling but actually performed best at the edge of the screen. Last in the line-up was the Motorola Droid, which demonstrated significant wavy artifacts or “stair-stepping.”

To create a superior touchscreen experience, the key is to develop a touchscreen sensor that has the highest possible signal-to-noise ratio, or SNR. When a manufacturer gets it right, the device tracks touch inputs almost as if they were connected to physical objects in the real world. Key drivers of SNR include:

Conductive sensor material

Substrate material

Substrate thickness

Distance from display (the biggest noise source) Sensing waveform Sensor pattern Sensor pitch Analog sensing circuitry Sample rate

Touchscreens are a catalyst for innovation and a powerful way for device manufacturers to differentiate their products in an intensely competitive marketplace. But as MOTO’s demonstration shows, there’s a right way and a wrong way to deploy the technology. MOTO has worked with capacitive touch interfaces, and offered up these essential dos and don’ts for anyone entering the field:

* Don’t skimp on materials. With touchscreen hardware, manufacturers get what they pay for and consumers will notice the difference. * Allow ample time to develop your algorithms. Don’t treat touchscreen algorithms as an element of component sourcing; create a distinct touch development track in-house to make sure your products are both responsive and accurate. * Closely integrate touchscreen hardware, software, and user interaction development as early as possible in the product development process. Never treat them as separate tasks.

The success of the iPhone has triggered the adoption of touchscreen systems in a wide range of mobile devices, and a bevy of new gadgets equipped with capacitive sensing technology have now hit the market. MOTO’s conclusion sates that ‘All touchscreens are not created equal’ The video and photos of MOTO’s “DIY Smartphone Touchscreen Analysis” experience is available here.

Smartphones and iPhone both are the novel introduction for communication, besides having a galore of features. Smartphone has replaced the carrying of a cell phone as well as a PDA separately as it is all-in-one gadget. It is up to the user to employ it as an organizer, a cell phone, an email device, or anything above it.

Any application or software announces its presence in the Smartphone and assures of performing everything that a phone fails to do, and hence are hotter, while iPhone has captured the attention like never before. This is a hot device and the gadget features internet browsing, listening to music and communication. This is considered to be exceptional as it offers multimedia experiences of higher levels.

Smartphones vs. iPhone comparison is interesting, however, the Smartphone platform is truly very strong, but cannot overcome iPhone in a short span of period as the latter has emerged as a block buster. Smartphones have to wait patiently and handle strategically without fancying the commercial techniques alone, as iPhones also seem to be proving.

Verizon Droid has made commercials ensuring night shots, a real keyboard, interchangeable batteries, customization and open development platform. With the specifications mentioned, Droid runs Android 2.0 and is the fastest Smartphone, however is a little thicker than iPhone 3G. This Smartphone offers a high-resolution 3.75-inch display screen, turn-by-turn Google Maps navigation (at least in beta test), a slide-out keyboard, access to Amazon`s MP3 store and a 5 megapixel camera. On the other hand the android platform does not feature the many program applications like the iPhone.

Meanwhile the iPhone 3GS has a 3.5-inch touch screen, access to Apple`s popular iTunes music, video and application store, a digital compass and a 3 megapixel digital camera. It runs on a fast 600MHz CPU with 256MB RAM offering fast services.

Droid is a Smartphone offering the deserved internet experience, while iPhone had to add the AJAX as well as Flash technology to reach to the levels of advancement of its competitors. Droid is incapable of providing as many applications as iPhone, but recently, more applications as well as games on the Android platform are gaining utmost popularity. Similarly, although the iPhone comes with an array of pre-installed software, there is not much indication about a feature called VOIP – Voice over IP. Meanwhile, installing software on iPhone is impossible like that ones you can do it on Smartphone, and this is one of the best pros for smartphones.

The iPhone browser is well ahead than Smartphone and facilitates loading websites such that it offers full view and allows zooming quickly. The iPhone handling is also superior to to any Smartphone available in the market. iPhone features simple strokes using two fingers to zoom in or out that it really makes a significant difference in surfing the web on the phone, besides iPhone also detects if the phone is being handled horizontally and flips the display in accordance to that offering comfort of viewing to the user. Smartphone has a lesser resolution screen than the iPhone and a memory card is for 2GB, while iPhone has 4GB and above.

There is no doubt that iPhone has a cool touch, but is expensive and Smartphones are also the choice of many for its software facilities and is comparatively less expensive.
