Steve Jobs’ Q&A press conference highlights

Talha Arif — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:11:54 +0000

In response to a question at its press conference on friday (major announcement here) about whether Apple could’ve done anything to avoid its antenna issues with the iPhone 4, Steve took the opportunity to rip on bigger rivals,

Saying that making a phone so big “you can’t get your hand around it” helps, but that “no one’s going to buy that.”

We’re assuming he’s likely talking about the latest crop of 4-, 4.3- and 5-inch phones that include the Galaxy S series, the EVO 4G, Droid X, and Dell Streak, even going so far as to call them “Hummers”. Though ripping on the competition is to be expected, perhaps the more interesting takeaway here is that we can’t realistically expect an iPhone much bigger than the 3.5-inch display they use today — presumably that’ll all be reserved for iPad territory going forward.

And here are some of the competitors responding to the said conference.

RIM, Nokia respond to Apple Press conference

Talha Arif — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 09:23:26 +0000

Yesterday during Apple’s press conference concerning antenna/reception issues with the iPhone 4, Steve Jobs tried deflect attention away from the device and assert that it was an industrywide problem. Jobs went on to show videos of various phones from competing manufacturers succumbing to attenuation problems when held in a certain way.

By doing this, Jobs made it seem to the untrained eye that this isn’t an Apple-specific problem, but just a fact of life for users of smartphones given today’s technology.

Not surprisingly, two of the companies that were the subject of Jobs’ “See, we aren’t the only ones having problems” demonstration are fighting back hard. The first to respond was none other than Nokia:

Antenna design is a complex subject and has been a core competence at Nokia for decades, across hundreds of phone models. Nokia was the pioneer in internal antennas; the Nokia 8810, launched in 1998, was the first commercial phone with this feature.

Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying human behavior, including how people hold their phones for calls, music playing, web browsing and so on. As you would expect from a company focused on connecting people, we prioritize antenna performance over physical design if they are ever in conflict.

In general, antenna performance of a mobile device/phone may be affected with a tight grip, depending on how the device is held. That’s why Nokia designs our phones to ensure acceptable performance in all real life cases, for example when the phone is held in either hand. Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying how people hold their phones and allows for this in designs, for example by having antennas both at the top and bottom of the phone and by careful selection of materials and their use in the mechanical design.

RIM co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie also fired back after their crown jewel, the BlackBerry Bold 9700, was shown to be susceptible to dropped bars:

Apple’s attempt to draw RIM into Apple’s self-made debacle is unacceptable. Apple’s claims about RIM products appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public’s understanding of an antenna design issue and to deflect attention from Apple’s difficult situation. RIM is a global leader in antenna design and has been successfully designing industry-leading wireless data products with efficient and effective radio performance for over 20 years. During that time, RIM has avoided designs like the one Apple used in the iPhone 4 and instead has used innovative designs which reduce the risk for dropped calls, especially in areas of lower coverage. One thing is for certain, RIM’s customers don’t need to use a case for their BlackBerry smartphone to maintain proper connectivity. Apple clearly made certain design decisions and it should take responsibility for these decisions rather than trying to draw RIM and others into a situation that relates specifically to Apple.

It appears that Apple has opened up a whole new can of worms with its press conference, so we wouldn’t be surprised if other phone manufacturers start piling on shortly.

Another Windows 7 Phone: HTC Gold is Rumored to be Released this November

Talha Arif — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 07:31:15 +0000

Omio, the UK mobile phone outlet, has purportedly got its hands on “a huge UK mobile phone release schedule for the rest of the year… [from] all the manufacturers”. Ofcourse , the source of the list remains a mystery, as we can’t find any sources mentioned, nor any other sources mentioning the above mentioned list. So, with bated breath.. and a few grains of salt thrown in for good measure, here is the list:

July
- Nokia E5-00,
- Sony Ericsson W20, and
- Samsung i5500.
August
- Nokia X6 8GB and
- BlackBerry Curve 9300.
September
- SonyEricsson Hazel and
- Nokia X2 candybar
October
- HTC Vision,
- the virtually unknown HTC Ace,
- Nokia N8, and
- Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X8 and Yendo.
November
- HTC Gold, with Microsoft’s new mobile OS, Windows phone 7
- Samsung i8700
- Nokia E7 — the latter being possibly a N8-esque QWERTY slider with AMOLED display and Symbian^3,

Phew! That’s quite a list the UK retailer plans to host on its outlets this year, what remains to be seen is how much this roadmap is followed.

Hamza Zafar — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:28:23 +0000

Grooveshark is one of the most popular online music streaming service provider and they have now launched their iPhone app to serve their users even better. Though this app is still not available via iPhone App store, chances are that it will soon be available to download from there.

Grooveshark say’s :

Right now there is not a Grooveshark application for iPhones through Apple’s iPhone App Store. Unfortunately at this time, Apple is unwilling to work with Grooveshark to approve our application.

The application can be download via Cydia on Jailbroken iPhones. Currently they are offering limited features in their app which lets you listen to the latest music on radio, create your own music list, listen it offline, etc

Currently, this app provides numerous facilities like play or preview songs, save and make Playlists, listen live online radio, listen to your favorite tracks offline and enjoy almost any International radio station you want to.

Fring Brings Video Call for Smartphones

Hamza Zafar — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:56:37 +0000

Fring has announced their new mobile application on different platforms including Java, Android and Mac which enables the user to make video calls from their handset using either the 3G or a WiFi Network. Though this application is available for iPhone users, the iPhone does not have a front-end camera, which means that the video conversation would be one-way only.

The other way around to perform a face-to-face video chat (or lets say it two-way video call) on iPhone would be to stand in front of a mirror in such a way that camera could focus your image in the mirror. In this way, you’ll be seeing your friend on your iPhone and your friend we’ll be seeing you in the mirror. Its a bit awkward but its the only way to have two-way video call with the currently available iPhones. And yes, it would definitely work

Their press release on making a video call through iPhone using Fring can be found here.

The Fring currently does not support all the smartphones in the market, in fact some very famous and high-end handsets of Nokia do not support the video call feature in Fring. List of cellphones which support Fring Video Calling is given here.

Smartphones from other mobile manufacturers which support two-way video calling on Fring are these:

Motorola v6maxx, L9, Razr2 V9

Samsung G600, G800, U600, U900

Nokia 5310, 5610, 6300, E61, N76, N78, N81, N82

Sony Ericsson c702, c902, k660, k770, k850i, w580, w660i, w760, w890, w910, w980, z770

Currently, Fring supports Skype Google Talk, MSN/Live, ICQ, SIP, Yahoo, AIM, Twitter and Facebook on their app. The Video call is the function of Skype on that application, so you must have a Skype account in order to use it.

The iPhone app for Fring can be download from here. Other mobile users can use m.fring.com for the download.
