The New Apple?


Apple has always been determined to make computers for the average person, but, as the average person has changed since the Mac, and even since the iPhone, so has Apple.

Before 1984, the average person was baffled by computers. They were only really used by people who were proficient at the least, and were only in institutions. Apple aimed to change that with their GUI.

Before 2007 cell phones were crap. None of them did everything you wanted. They were either easy to use, with little functionality, or hard to use, with tons of features. The iPhone changed that. 

But now, the average user is a little more computer savvy. They understand the concept of mobile multitasking, the concept of apps running simultaneously, and, in general, people understand more about technology than they did even just 3 years ago. PCs have always been about features, Macs, and all Apple products, have been about ease of use. But As people change, Apple changes too. They have been...

This Week in Phones #1 - iPhone Alternatives

With all the hype around the possible leaked 4th Generation iPhone, I think a lot of people are forgetting about other handsets recently released that kind of blow the iPhone out of the dust.

 HTC Evo 4G

The Evo 4G, on Sprint, is designed by HTC with power in mind. Sporting a gorgeous (and huge) 4.3 inch display, dual cameras including a front facing camera, and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, the Evo is an absolute screamer! The Evo also has the ability to connect up to 8-wifi enabled devices, similar to what we’ve seen in other Palm devices. Being the first mobile phone to feature 4G technology, the phone is always fast! Most importantly, the Evo is on a better network than the iPhone, so you can really take advantage of 4G strengths, which AT&T does not offer. Pricing for this phone has not been announced, but is expected to be released sometime this Summer.

 HTC Droid Incredible

Phone manufacturers have to be pretty bold to name their phone “Incredible” but apparently HTC hit the mark. With a 3.7 inch AMOLED display and an 8-megapixel camera (which seems to be becoming the norm now a days), the Incredible really ones-up the iPhone. The Incredible is also on a much better network, that being Verizon Wireless, so you can really take advantage of faster data speeds.

 Nexus One

Google’s Nexus One, toted as “The Google Experience”, is a very powerful Android phone. The Nexus One is available on multiple carriers, T-Mobile and AT&T (AT&T unlocked only) makes it a very versatile phone available to customers on different networks. The Nexus One offers a 3.7 inch AMOLED display, a 5-megapixel camera and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, so it has a very large feature set.

 In conclusion, those are just a few iPhone alternatives, all with much different feature sets than the iPhone and all on a better cellular networks. Even though the iPhone conveys a certain socioeconomic status to others, other manufacturers are developing phones with a better feature set, so next time you’re shopping for a mobile phones, look into some other iPhone alternatives.

02UK is dropping the Price

Phone carrier 02 in the UK is dropping the price of their iPhone tariffs as they were recently taken away from the exclusivity of being the only one iPhone carrier in the UK. 

02 now offers the iPhone on a £25 per month for 24 months, which includes 100 voice minutes, unlimited texts and 3G data. This is a really good option for light phone users who are wanting to jump on the iPhone product line however, as the iPhone is really focused on the business market, 100 voice minutes isn't really a good option for those but are only allocated at a consumer level.

In comparison, 3UK offers a HTC Hero Android phone for £25 per month for 24 months, that includes 500 voice minutes, unlimited texts and 3G data and Vodafone UK is offering a Blackberry Curve (8520) £25 per month for 24 months with 300 voice minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data, unknown if 3G or not. 

C'mon 02, you were the exclusive carrier for the iPhone back in the day but more networks are getting similar phones and even though the phones are different, the contract seems to contain more for the same value.
