Apple Beats Nokia: Becomes Highest Selling Smart Phone Seller

NOKIA NO longer reigns as the supreme brand as Apple has toppled the Finnish company and takes its place as the top most smartphone brand. This was the one area where Nokia was the personal favourite of many but here also the US company has beaten Nokia. Apple became the top most brand to sell the highest number of smart phones in the world.

The results were affirmed when Apple shipped 20.3 million iPhones, and in the same time frame Nokia shipped around 16.7 million smart phones. Apart from this data, the analysis of International Data Corporation (IDC), which keeps a tab of the technology market said that Nokia globally, covers only 16 percent of the smart phones market contrary to 37 percent of the market which it occupied last year.

Nokia, which was once the favourite of many, still holds the number one place in the basic handset market but as analysts are saying, soon it would also be overtaken by the Samsung phones.
If the Finnish company fails to either deliver good phones at lower price or very good features in its own price then its doomsday is near.

Already, so many low-cost alternatives are available in the market that Nokia is losing its hold. Apple on the other hand is winning due to the fact that they are bringing in their own applications and softwares, which is also lacking in Nokia.

In both the high end and low end market, Nokia’s market share has lowered by 25 percent. According to IDC, “Nokia is bleeding on all fronts. On the smartphone segment its portfolio is not attractive in terms of user experience, ecosystem and even price. Since the company started struggling in 2009, a price differentiation strategy was pursued to keep volumes high, but even this is not working anymore. Consumers can already find better Android devices at lower prices than Nokia smart devices.”

This gets worse for Nokia as Apple is rumoured to launch a cheap iPhone very soon, which would further take down the Nokia Company. Nokia hopefully takes the clue and does something about it as the picture is not looking that rosy anymore.

iPhone 3G
Cleaning cloth
Eyephone (also there is microphone)
USB data cable
Adapter
SIM card take-out unit

There was a dock unit at the iPhone 2G’s. However in the new iPhone 3G doesn’t have it. Also, old docking units not suitable for iPhone 3G.

iPhone OS 2.0 and later the most important innovation that comes with the following:

* “Push Mail” support exists, Exchange Server support is coming.

* Delete or edit E-mails in bulk is possible. It is very useful whom using iPhone like me for it’s e-mail functions.

* E-mail attachments that come with support now have a good deal. iPhone OS 2.0 file format can be read in conjunction with the following:. jpg,. tiff,. gif,. doc,. docx,. html,. key. pdf,. ppt,. pptx,. txt,. VCF. xls,. xlsx

* Phone numbers written in SMS’s can be selected.

To call the number I called you no longer need to memorize: SMS on the numbers can be clicked.

* Scientefic Calculater comes:

When the phone works the calculator application if you turn the phone it turns to the scientific calculator.

* Phone works stable.

* Google contacts can be syncronized.

* You can seve pictures from Safari and Emails.

* Wi-Fi can be used at flight-mode

* 3rd party applications can be downloadable from AppStore application:

Application intallation to iPhone 3G and “App Store”

 

To be able to use App Store you have to open an iTunes Account and then yo should syncronize it with your iPhone.
For downloading free applications your iTunes account password is been asked.
Number of the free apps is decreasing. Some apps which are free once, are now selling at 0.99$ , 1.99$ . So it is better to look the user comments fort he apps instead of paying them first.
Some 3rd party apps can make some problems when you update your iPhone. Because of that you should look for comments of your apps before update.

 

GPS on iPhone 3G an extra GPS applications

Only Google Maps can be used for GPS.

There is “Assisted GPS” which helps to find your condition by estimating GSM antennas at iPhone 3G and iPhone OS 2.0. When you can’t get GPS signal at Google Maps, you will see “Assisted GPS” which shows your absolute area.

iPhone 3G could use the chips that came with the GPS hardware is currently only one map Google Maps.

o Google Maps to navigate the Internet connection is required absolutely. To the lack of 3G network will use EDGE or GPRS. On the way to show you on the map when you’ve seen enough of the EDGE speed

Pre-loaded maps, but we do not know that you remove the only alternative at the moment Google Maps. If you use the GPS feature rich and Google Maps, Internet package is a good idea to use a tariff.

• There are different software to use GPS feature. App Store into the “GPS” in your face as you search the most alternatives to be paid out of the majority. Was going to like us a few software:

o “Speed” a software and km, and miles, and shows your speed in knots. Free.

o “gpsCompass” a software and a compass indicates the direction to move, and that shows the coordinates and speed, and where the “google maps link to” make and you can mail them to friends. (For example, mail is as follows: “Where I am http://maps.google.com/maps?q=41.114885, 29.051650″) ($ 0.99)
o “Path Tracker” is a software to keep the place and then the coordinates on a map log shows this path. (0.99 $

With every new iPhone operating system is further developed. iPhone OS 2.2 for some issues with iPhone’un However, there is a lack. First, some features that come with the iPhone and iPhone 3G and not to let the existing restrictions.

Bluetooth

comes with the Bluetooth feature, but it iPhone’lar between the phone can not use for sending data. If you have a Bluetooth car kit and headphones can be used. Data transfer may be important for some users, but with the car kit connections appears to make trouble.

Of course, when you install the new iPhone operating system has some problems with bluetooth headsets is being reported. That is why Apple’s discussion forums can be useful to follow in the category.

SMS is continuing difficulties in

There are major shortcomings in the SMS iPhone’un. Apple announced the iPhone SDK to developers, as far as we know did not open the SMS function, so the “App Store” in the 3rd, even enhance the SMS feature party software does not exist. What is this SMS restrictions?

First, no bulk SMS sending feature. For example, you change your line at all if you want to SMS to your contact list, everyone is required to individually select and send. I like your phone book, is crowded, everyone individually select recipients to add the SMS can not be possible unfortunately.

One other problem, the forwarding feature also SMS’si not yet been added. As an incoming SMS to your friends when you need to communicate would be being obstructive.

iPhone OS 2.0 release with phone numbers, SMS’s in the feature was brought into reading. Especially when your phone is turned off England’s “Who called?” in every message you receive messages from the service and phone number to call for a lot of phone calls with the need to memorize the keypad was then. iPhone OS 2.0 and now the phone number in the SMS’s can search by clicking on. Even these numbers can also add in the phone book.

There was no need for MMS Mail but not as the official iPhone support MMS.

Still no Flash support

Apple has added support for Flash iPhone’daki not yet in Safari. This deficiency is currently one of the most important iPhone’un. To see the YouTube video, but iPhone’?n special YouTube application, for example, and mobile phone CepLab’a If you want to watch the videos, unfortunately, not be able to see any flash content.

iPhone OS 2.0 has been updated with a small in Safari. With this update, Safari and a YouTube video embedded in web pages visited, the video when you click on the “YouTube” aç?l?ypr application. Not possible to see other flash content.

VoIP software support is limited

Wi-Fi (wireless network) via Skype or similar applications on the iPhone wanted to use a considerable number of users a lot. Apple, Wi-Fi will support transmission of voice over saying that an important development is not yet on this issue. IPhone applications are waiting in suspense, especially Skype.

Apple, the 3G network will allow transmission through the sound was transmitted. So even without Wi-Fi Skype software, such as 3G or EDGE network, users who want to use over the realization of this request will not know.

Ring Tones

Restrictions on our mind with the latest details about the tone. If you can not make a song tone. Apple, iTunes store to earn money in the ringing tone selling so there is such a restriction.

Results

iPhone 3G purchase decision will be approached in a logical manner, I suggest you listen.

touch screen with touch screens as iPhone’un successful so far could not see. (We are waiting impatiently for Google Android device so installed). Pick a very short time, within a week you’ll see completely iPhone’un used touch technology.

E-mail is very important to you, and mobile multi-phase e-mail if you write / answer, and you need to do it quickly, another device with a QWERTY keyboard, you will be much more efficient. (Such as HTC TyN II).

However, e-mail functions iPhone’un is very convenient because, if you think you can be comfortable with touch-sensitive keyboard, the iPhone will definitely meet all the needs in this area and will be satisfied.

One of the issues iPhone’un unbeatable, web page navigation. Except flash content, web pages, do you see as your computer. Mobile web page if you need gezmen iPhone in this regard is a very nice experience.

Latest updates, but the address book management has become too easy. Especially in 1000 and more people who are in the address book, iPhone will be comfortable with. The problem of bulk SMS feature is not yet.

in fact a full-iPhone’un an iPod should not forget that. Well, that is, the fully-equipped devices also become an entertainment.

In short, if you concentrate on the case of mobile Internet use, e-mail that says / control, the web page surfer, with plenty of music, connects to the server with ssh and start again, if you are one of the iPhone 3G at the moment to get one of the best devices. Amaçl?de?il just business, for entertainment purposes as a few competitors.

If you do not visit web pages, e-mail does not look, just someone to talk to the phone if the iPhone’s meaningless to say one should be buying.

Who Needs an Apple Iphone?

Although the launch of the Apple iPhone means that many who see the next generation smartphone is sure to want one, we have identified a few key consumers who might find the iPhone an indispensable tool.

The Students:

Given Apple’s close link to the academic community, it’s inevitable that there will be some alliances forged between the two realms of Apple’s cutting edge design and technology and the needs of academia.

One of Steve Jobs’ previous start-ups, NeXT, focused on higher education and business markets, while its Mac line of desktops are used in biotechnology research and analytical computations.

Students using the iPhone will find its features like the ability to playback MP3 tracks useful. Not so much for catching the latest pop songs, but rather to catch education-related podcasts.

The iPhone’s ability to stream video means that e-learning or distance learning can take place, as long as the academic institution has the infrastructure in place.

Having a 2-megapixel digital camera built into the iPhone means that photos can be taken with ease, whether it’s for assignments or for personal recreation.

Road Warriors:

Business people on the move will find the iPhone to be useful, especially with the availability of full featured Internet access, rather than the abbreviated web surfing currently available on many smartphones.

This means that not only will you be able to check for information on the Internet, it also means that secure business transactions can take place easily.

The availability of Internet access over Wi-Fi networks mean that available Web 2.0 services will allow mobile office workers to access their data on the move.

Freed from being deskbound, the Apple iPhone is currently enabled to access Google’s Maps application. Over time, you can expect Apple’s strategic partners to develop more business applications.

Business Owners:

The workhorse nature of the iPhone together with its close integration to Apple’s Safari Internet browser, mean that business applications can be used seamlessly.

We can make an educated guess that the separation between the computer and your mobile iPhone device will be erased over time.

Perhaps we might even predict that the iPhone will gradually take over the functions of your laptop or notebook computer over time.

With Apple’s support for its developer network, this means that a new generation of business applications can be expected on the horizon.

Apple’s broad appeal is not just limited to the iPhone however, it’s previous products such as the Mac, its followup brethren the iMac and the iPod digital music player have received a warm reception from its users.

A Day in the Life of an Average Apple Iphone User

It can be difficult to imagine how a single device like the Apple iPhone can radically change your lifestyle, until you are introduced into your virtual future self.

Fast forward a year into the near future…

Ring, ring, it’s early in the morning and your favorite song is blaring from your Apple iPhone.

You pick it up and the iPhone’s sensors detect your touch and the screen lights up, showing you the time.

As you rise up from bed, you step into the bathroom to get read, and you set your playlist to play your favorite tunes as you get ready for work.

As you step into the subway, you plug your headphone through the 3.5mm headphone jack into the iPhone and flip the unit to its horizontal orientation. While the other commuters are staring at the ceiling, or blankly at each other, you’re sitting there laughing quietly as you catch last evening’s sitcom on the iPhone’s generous 3.5 inch screen.

You receive a beep on your iPhone, and you pause the program to receive the call.

Turns out your friend Jill has arranged a special birthday surprise for your mutual friend, Holly.

Taking down the details, you flip briefly to your iPhone schedule and mark the date on your diary.

Finishing the call, you switch back to finishing up the sitcom.

As you head into the office, your iPhone beeps, it’s your secretary.

“The boss is waiting for you”, she says.

It’s a hectic day ahead and as you step into the elevator headed for the 50th floor, you decide to make the most of your time and check the list of voicemails listed on the iPhone’s Visual Voicemail panel.

You delete a few unnecessary ones from the listing and listen to the 7th message from your little niece.

It’s hard to imagine the days when you had to listen to the voicemails one at a time. Now you can check out the callers using the Caller ID function and delete them immediately, saving you previous time.

As you step into your office, your secretary walks in.

“The PABX is on the fritz, you’ll need to establish the conference call”.

So you pull out your trusty iPhone, set up the conference call function and you’re soon talking to London and Tokyo at the same time.

“Hey” says your boss, “Isn’t the office PABX on the fritz? How’re you able to dial in and set up the conference?”

“Simple, boss, my iPhone has got it all settled”

“I must get one of those” he says “I heard they can pretty much do everything”

“Pretty much” you say, as you finish up the call.
