Phone Specs

On our first anniversary i wrote an article which i listed the brief history behind the page. To start things up i never actually planned to make this blog in the first page. In 2011 i was introduced by my friend Avinaash about computer tech and within a few months i had became in love with computers and i can say that YouTube played a major role at this. Especially Linus from NCIX and Elric from The Tech Of Tomorrow. Also if not mistaken these are the first two channels which is subscribed to 3 years ago. Continuing down the road i continued liking computes until early 2012 when the smartphone industry boomed with Samsung and Apple i turned to phones. Within like 2 months i understood all the basics and continuing on i learned more till today. But before that; On the week which i created the blog i was actually still talking about computers and then in the end of the week which was a Friday, i thought to myself rather than always constantly nagging to my friend about the latest and greatest i thought of writing a blog in which i will share my knowledge to the people around the web. That is also where i got the inspiration for the first logo. On the day itself (Feb 10 2012) i was thinking about the blog while doing my daily rounds looking at the news from websites and then after time thinking i rested the matter and went to take a nap in the couch. I woke up 2 hours later when the skies were gloomy and the time was only 4PM and then i thought of a name for the page the technology of today then i started the blog with the help of my friend avinaash. He was writing content here for about 3 months then he left. The next part of the story is disclosed due to some issues if revealed will create some controversies. Coming back to the present day i actually was planning to close the blog but after some thought i decided not to. All the hard work i put on this blog is really priceless. As to that i then think back to that very day i created this blog and said that what i am doing now is the total opposite of what i thought of this blog when i created it 14 months ago. I created this soley to share my thoughts and knowledge to contribute to the web not to compete with one another. Another thing is that Tech actually dictated what i am today and since opening this blog i have changes 180 degrees and im planning to change back to the old perspective. My life really turned upside down with the presence of this blog. But thats not the point i still continued to keep my word which i always use on people who are feeling down never give up no matter what the cause is. In times also i keep in mind that its not always being the best but the important is doing your very best. So im going to keep my word by sharing my knowledge to the world and not going off track again. Thats also where i get the thought of the moto which is bringing you a step closer to technology. All in all i can say that im very pleased with what this blog has done to me even if theres some side effects but one thing which i ultimately believe is that hard work does pay off and all it takes is one moment in time to change your life forever.

all it takes is one moment in time to change your life forever

Samsung has officially announced the first Windows 8 Phone ATIV S. It is essentially a Windows Phone 8 version of Samsungs Android powered Galaxy S III. The ATIV S packs a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a 720 x 1280 HD resolution and has Gorilla Glass 2 for protection. Inside is a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM. While not a quad-core, this dual core chipset packs the advance Qualcomm Krait processor which allows it to match and even outrun its quad-core competitors.  This is backed up by 1 GB of RAM. At the back, there’s an 8MP primary camera with 1.9MP secondary camera at the front. This a a big phone at 137.2 mm x 70.5 mm x 8.7 mm but it weighs in at just 135 grams. 

Now this is not just a re-skinned Galaxy S III. Samsung has improved its design and allows for a massive 2,300mAh battery to fit in that slim 8.7 mm frame. Connectivity options include HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3 and NFC. I expect an LTE version will also be released.

Internal storage is either 16 GB or 32 GB, but Windows Phone 8 now supports memory expansion slots and the Samsung ATIV S has a microSD card slot to allow expansion of its 16GB or 32GB built-in storage.

Pricing and availability is yet to be confirmed, but I am pretty sure this smartphone will hit the shelves immediately after Microsoft officially releases the Windows Phone 8 in October this year. Expect a price similar to the Galaxy S III.

When the first Windows Phone 7 device launched, they were competitive in terms of hardware, but the software was a bit behind the curve. By the time Windows Phone 7.5 was out, the supported hardware was outdated due to lack of multi-core processor support. With Windows Phone 8 and phones like the ATIV S, the Windows Phone platform fight Apple and the Android world on equal footing.

Last week, the news circulated that the hacker group Anonymous had stolen 12 million Apple device identifiers from an FBI laptop.

The truth, it now turns out was that it was Apples fault. NBC news discovered that the unique device identifiers (UDIDs) came instead from one of the hundreds of companies that Apple’s app model has allowed to track and identify the company’s devices. This is part of an extensive data-sharing network.

The leaked data to a small Florida app publisher called Blue Toad. Blue Toad has confirmed that it was the source of the breach.

UDIDs are identifiers, linked to iPads, iPhones and iPods, are designed to allow ad networks and app makers to track devices.  Apparently, these UDIDs are not data that Apple keeps secure, but instead are widely available to hundred of app developers. Apple’s lax privacy model has resulted in a situation where  ad firms, developers and parties like Blue Toad  can amass large amounts of user data. The worse part is, users whose UDIDs were leaked from Blue Toad do not know the company. They have never transacted with Blue Toad or downloaded an app from them. Blue Toad provides services to app developers and not directly to customers.

Apple has started to phase out the UDIDs.

Three out of every four smartphones shipped during the third quarter of 2012 were Android smartphone.  Total worldwide shipments reached 136.0 million units, accounting for 75.0% of the 181.1 million smartphones shipped in the quarter. This also represents a 91.5% year-over-year growth with Android nearly doubling its overall market growth rate of 46.4%.

Apples iPhone took up 15% of the market, with BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Phone and Linux sharing the last 10%. 

Windows Phone 7 had a small 2% market share with 3.6 million Windows Phone 7 devices shipping in the quarter, still this represents a 140% increase over the same quarter laster year when 1.5 million Windows Phone were shipped.
