Apple Patent Seeks To Lock Up Jailbroken IPhones

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

Jailbreaking your iPhone is presently legal according to U.S. copyright officials, but that does not mean that Apple is happy to sit back when users break free of their proprietary corporate mold and utilize the full potential of the handheld device. The Register reports that the technology giant has applied for a patent “covering an elaborate series of measures” that will “protect iPhone owners from thieves” and other non-authorized users. The patent is called “Systems and Methods for Identifying Unauthorized Users of an Electronic Device,” and will make sure a user’s iPhone gets locked down supposedly with jailbreaking exploits.

Anyone can see a jailbroken iPhone’s info

Apple has an excellent story when trying to convince people not to jailbreak their iPhones. This is that personal info is accessible to identity thieves when an iPhone has been jailbroken. Apple’s proposed patent identifies numerous ways that unauthorized users could activate a jailbroken iPhone’s camera remotely, or track geotagging info and other private data. Users are told by Apple that the patent will keep them safe. If it is approved, Apple will be allowed to lock down iPhones that are jailbroken.

Is Apple watching everybody?

The Register explains that Apple identifies iPhones that have a sudden increase in memory usage as jailbroken which is like many hacking programs. Unlocking an iPhone (opening it up so that it can be used on cellular networks other than AT and T) would also be detectable if Apple’s patent is approved. “Thieves in transit” is what Apple is trying to detect when tapping an iPhone’s accelerometer. This helps Apple determine, as outlined by the Register, which iPhones have “fraudulent use.” Technical experts and consumer rights groups do not like the suggestion Apple has made at putting security actions to the phone like possible voice-print identification.

Who can start camera with a new patent?

Apple will be able to activate your iPhone camera if the patent is approved. Anywhere you are, somebody can see you. Steve Jobs will always have that access. Regardless of how much you like the style and convenience of Apple devices, do you want Apple to be able to turn on your camera at any time it chooses? Steve Jobs could know more about your life than anything else at that point.

In the UK, mobile phones are basically available in two forms like contract mobile phones and pay as you mobile phones. In case of contract mobile phones, the users need to pay the bill every month. Basically, a user of a contract mobile phone can talk as much as he can and accordingly, at the end of a month he has to pay off the monthly bills. There is no control on the usage of its credit limit.

On the other hand, pay as you go mobile phones come with lots of benefits. If you ever find that you are wasting lots of money on your current contract mobile phone then you can immediately switch over to pay as you go mobile phones. These phones come with specific credit limits. Whenever the credit limit gets over you need to recharge or top up the credit limit and thus, resume speaking on the phone.

The IPhone 4

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

In just three short years, over 50 million iPhones have been sold. This is an unheard of number in the cell phone industry. These numbers have brought attention to the capabilities of cell phones; possibilities in function are almost endless. According to some, the iPhone 4 will be the bastion by which future generations of cell phones will be measured. Most noticeable is the new screen. The “Retina” is a 3.5-inch IPS, LCD display with a robust resolution of 960 by 640 pixels and 326 pixels per inch. What this means to the consumer is clearer images due to the highest resolution available on any cell phone that has been produced to date. The annoying low battery alert will be heard far less often with the extended battery. The battery life equals seven hours of talk time (300 hours of standby), which is 40% more than the iPhone 3G. The iPhone 4 utilizes the same processor as the iPad. The processor equals or betters that of any other phone on the market and the difference is noteworthy. The operating system used is the iOS 4, which includes – for the first time – the ability to multitask. That means no more deciding whether to listen to music or check your email, as you will be able to do both, or anything else for that matter, at the same time. You can also create folders in iTunes and iBooks, which could not be done before. In fact, Apple claim that around 1500 features have been improved, modified and created in the new version of its OS, which is undoubtedly quite an improvement. The iPhone 4 comes with a 5 megapixel camera that, in addition to taking great pictures, can capture videos in HD at 720p. The camera is a great improvement on what was used for previous iPhones. Apple have clearly paid attention to the widespread ‘complaints’ that they received about it. A particularly cool new feature is ‘Face Time’, which allows you to make video calls – the first time this has been possible on smartphones. As for the price, it sells for around $200 on a 24 month contract in the US. Depending on who you buy it from, and which network operator you opt for, you may well be able to get yourself a better deal than that. Rather than just buying it from the first store that you see it in, why not try about a cell phone price comparison website first? Doing so takes just a few minutes and you could make yourself a nice saving.

mobile phones with android 2.0
HTC DESIRE VS Nokia n900?

What would you buy?
Taking in consideration the following:
1.I don’t mind buying a memory card for HTC
2.I don’t mind the absence of querty
3.I don’t mind taking weaker – quality photos.

AND->MAEMO 5 vs Android 2.0 .Which is the best?
I am interested in applications , programmes; we know that Nokia has 2 proc a GPU and CPU, so the CPU isn’t handling the job by itself (like on the HTC).I mean by this that maybe in games, 3d games Nokia would lead.What do you say?I want a fast , high quality phone , CAN THE HTC do the job with it’s single cpu?And… the Android is better than MAEMO and Windows Mobile 6.5?Maybe the linux developpers will catch up and start making apps for n900 in the future.

My advice HTC DESIRE for the following reasons:
- Android (best mobile OS on the market)
- Many more games and applications
- Capacitive screen (better than the resistive)
- Multitouch (pinch to zoom)
- Aesthetics (looks)
- More powerful hardware (1GH processor, 576mb ram, etc. …)
- Is new and will be updated in the future

The IPhone 4

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

The Apple iPhone 4 has a design that really sets it apart from the competition. Its slim design is even thinner than the iPhone 3GS. The iPhone 4 measures 9.3mm deep while the iPhone 3GS measures 12.3 mm deep, making it about 24% less in size. The iPhone 4 measures 59mm to 62mm side to side, making it narrower than the 3GS as well. Although the weight is the same at 136g, the changes in the iPhone 4’s dimensions make it less bulky than the 3GS. All of these aesthetic changes in design are welcome, but the improvements found in the Apple iPhone 4 don’t end there. It’s what is found inside the phone that really illustrates the technological improvements. The Apple iPhone 4 possesses a 3.5-inch display just like the 3GS. It is the improved resolution of the 960 x 640 pixel, IPS display that distinguishes the iPhone 4. The 326 pixels per inch create the highest resolution ever found on a phone. Also featured on the iPhone 4 is the “Retina display.” The name refers to the fact that the display is greater in number of pixels than the human retina is able to process. The high number of pixels brings a new level of performance in sharpness, clarity, and detail of the images seen on the phone. The in-plane switching (IPS) techniques found on all iMac and iPad displays also appears on the iPhone 4. The bright, lustrous display and its huge viewing angle make images look excellent from any position. The iPhone 4 uses Apple’s A4 processor, which is the same one that was chosen to power the iPad, and it runs the newly developed iOS 4 operating system. As a result of this OS, the phones capabilities are much better. Previous owners of iPhones will be pleased to hear that multitasking is one of the new capabilities. It feels long overdue but, as with Apple’s long-awaited cut-and-paste feature, it meets, and even exceeds, expectations. The iPhone 4 sees big advances with the camera as well. The primary camera on the back has been upgraded from 3 megapixels to 5 megapixels, yet manages to retain the same pixel size. The camera now also comes with a backlit sensor, an LED flash, and a 5x zoom. You can shoot in high-definition, at 720p, 30 fps. In addition, the video recording feature gains the tap-to-focus feature that was only previously already for taking photos. To summarize, the Apple iPhone 4, is a must-have for any smartphone lovers. Unlike the previous upgrade (from the iPhone 3G to the 3GS), which saw only slight performance improvements, the iPhone 4 sees significant improvements all round, making it comprehensively better than anything that we have seen before.
