RIP Steve - You Will Be Missed!


I got up this morning, earlier than usual, had to go out with family. As soon as I got up, started checking my messages and status's of friends on BBM, broadcasted messages and got a shock. Everyone had a common phrase "RIP Steve Jobs". I couldn't believe what I was reading, switched on the news channels and saw the same news on them too.

He was a great man, who brought around the change in technology, make people use touch screens all around the world, gave music a whole new dimension, banged the tablet industry! Changed the whole scenario of what Technology was. Such innovations, can be done only by one in a billion people. He was one of his kind! Respect!

This is what he said to the world.

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice."

Rest in Peace Mr.Jobs
You will be missed..

Blackberry 9900 Vs iPhone 4

Form:
BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 – 115 x 66 x 10.5 mm, 130g
Apple iPhone 4 – 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm, 137g
These two handsets could not be any more different visually, the iPhone is a looker with a design like a shard of sculpted and polished glass, meanwhile the BlackBerry has a squashed and frumpy appearance with both a screen and keyboard squeezed awkwardly into its frame.
It's not hard to see why Apple's designs have been so successful to the point of imitation by other manufacturers.
Winner – Apple iPhone 4

Display:
The Bold's TFT capacitive touchscreen is a little on the dinky side of things at 2.8-inches, the resolution clocks in at 640 x 480 pixels and an impressive 287 dots-per-inch (dpi), it also uses RIM's 'Liquid Graphics' technology for enhanced graphics and a more responsive touch control experience. The screen shares its space with a Qwerty keyboard and an optical track pad, and an accelerometer sensor wraps-up the list of display features.
Apple has used an LED-backlit IPS TFT capacitive touchscreen in the iPhone 4, measuring 3.5-inches with a resolution of 640 x 960 pixels at 326 dpi. It features a scratch resistant oleophobic surface designed to reduce greasy fingerprints, multi-touch, accelerometer and gyro sensors.
The iPhone 4's screen isn't vastly bigger than the Bold's but it's enough to draw and hold our attention and both the resolution and dpi are higher too. We prefer a solid keyboard but not at the expense of screen space so as the Bold isn't sporting a slide-out version this isn't earning it any extra points.
Winner – Apple iPhone 4


Storage:
The BlackBerry has 8GB of internal storage while processing power is boosted by 768MB of RAM and Micro SD cards are supported up to 32GB.
Meanwhile on the iPhone 4 there are options for either 16 or 32 GB of onboard storage capacity, which is much more generous than the Bold, however, things start to go a little downhill from here with 512 MB RAM and no card support.
There's nothing wrong with 512 MB RAM but the BlackBerry simply has more to throw around and no card support for the iPhone 4 is disappointing, though not exactly surprising.
The wealth of storage space on Apple's device is a big plus in its favour though and in our view is of primary importance when it comes to phone storage, so in this round the iPhone 4 wins.
Winner – Apple iPhone 4

Processor:
Both handsets are powered by single core processors, the iPhone 4 uses a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor on the Apple A4 chipset and paired with a PowerVR SGX535 graphics processing unit (GPU).
The BlackBerry Bold, meanwhile, runs with a more powerful 1.2 GHz Qualcomm 8655 Snapdragon.
Not only do both these phones have a decent amount of muscle but they've been nicely optimised with their respective operating systems too, both therefore offer silky smooth performance as you navigate round the interface and multi-tasking with a selection of apps is also well handled.
On paper the BlackBerry should win with a more powerful processor and more RAM but in actual use both deliver equally satisfactory performance and we'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite between the two.
Winner - Draw

Operating System:
The Bold predictably uses the BlackBerry OS, the latest version 7.0 to be precise and it represents some definite progress for RIM in terms of closing the gap with the likes of Android, Windows Phone 7 and iOS.
Changes from version 6.0, itself a step in the right direction, are fairly extensive but you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise just by looking at it as the overall style and presentation is more or less unchanged.
Performance has been enhanced across the board making it much more satisfying to use, the web browser in particular is zippier and now features a pinch zoom and voice activated search function. Churning away behind it all is a tailor-made BlackBerry Javascript compiler as well as HTML5 and Flash support.
There's also integrated support for HD video capture and the much talked about up-and-coming magic of NFC remote banking technology.
Lastly, though by no means least, RIM has added a new set of tools designed to help users separate their business and personal data as part of the BlackBerry Balance suite.
Apple's latest version of iOS as used on the iPhone 4 hasn't changed considerably since the last release, which shows how time and effort has shaped a very complete feeling operating system and it is commendable that Apple have pretty much taken the attitude that they're not going to fix something that isn't broken.The majority of changes were cosmetic interface, icon, menu options and menu placement tweaks.
More substantially, however, there were also a few welcome additions to the networking options with the inclusion of the Mobile Hotspots feature for shared connectivity with other devices, as well as Apple Airplay, a handy way of streaming photo and video content directly from your handset to an Apple TV.
Lastly, and perhaps most impressively, the already nifty Safari browser received a performance boost and is now unbelievably quick.
Both of these are great operating systems, they're well optimised on the handsets with very quick performance and we can't speak highly enough of the intuitive interfaces on each which will have you flitting around the menus at a rate of knots.
Winner - Draw

Camera:
The Bold features a 5-megapixel primary camera at 2592x1944 pixels with autofocus, LED flash geo-tagging, face detection and image stabilization while video capture is at 720p. No secondary camera here though.
Apple has gone for a similar setup with a 5-megapixel primary at the same resolution as the BlackBerry. The features list is more extensive overall, the basic line-up includes autofocus, LED flash, touch focus, geo-tagging but the video capture at 720p also has some additional features with an LED video light and video geo-tagging as well as video-calling over Wi-Fi connections. There's also a secondary camera.
We feel the iPhone has the more attractive setup here.
Winner – Apple iPhone 4

Final Thoughts:
The BlackBerry is decent enough in most aspects but has a few major downfalls relating to design, it isn't pretty and integration of a fixed keyboard means the screen is tiny, which further taints its visual style.
Apart from that though it has a good camera, a great processor and a very nice operating system, and despite being smaller than we would like the display quality is commendable.
The storage, while adequate, is significantly less than the iPhone, which overall we feel is the better handset of the two with more camera features, a larger and more satisfying screen, much more storage space, a good processor and killer looks to top it all off.

My iPhone and Blackberry Experience :)

I was only a Nokia fan before, dint like the Apple iPhone when it released but started liking it when the iPhone 3G released dunno for what reason :-P My friend Vishru got an iPhone for me from the states.. Loved using it though had to adjust in some cases.. Bought an iPhone 3GS.. The main problems I faced was Group Texting.. Im a messaging freak.. And there was no option in iPhone to send messages to a group, every time I had to select the peep's whom I wanna msg.. Though the camera is really good, flash in it would be like cream on a cake.. Then low battery life.. You play games on it (the main purpose of iPhone is to get Entertained..) and your phone's battery will dip like you throw something from the 100th floor and it falls down in seconds..lol.. and multi tasking, another major concern.. Even with all this prob's, I liked using it... It has the best Browser compared to all other phones, the mailing is fine.. Attaching the pics to the mail was the best thing I loved about iPhone.. No other phone still gives such an easy attachment option :) But now I have upgraded my iPhone to iOS4.1 and using it happily.. Have multi tasking & have group sms'ing so loving it all the more..






One of my friends then Roop bought a Blackberry last year in Jan or Feb I dont remember :-P.. I had no idea about blackberry's then.. He knew about the mobile.. I saw the features and options, user friendliness, Blackberry Messenger, emailing and what not.. It had everything.. I was crazy about it as soon as I got to know about all that a Blackberry offered.. Some of the prob's I was facing in an iPhone were all vanished in the blackberry.. I bought one and started using it.. Was awesome to have it in my hands.. I could send messages to groups, the phone allowed multi tasking though the games and applications for blackberry are very less, its a Business Mobile, has all what it needs.. I could download and save files, music in a blackberry which in an iPhone wasn't possible.. The battery was must better.. The emailing options were good.. The push mail feature as the best.. I could

"When you have a blackberry, you have a computer in your hands"
-Ashish Mehraa


Lol.. Both these phone have their own style of use.. The new iPhone 4 had a HD camera with flash.. Thats makes it even better and a faster processor..

Well my Verdict goes in favour of both (cuz I use both of em :-P)

Verdict: If your more about your music and photos and also an avid youtube streamer the iPhone 3GS would be your first choice. If you prefer to be in the loop with your friends and family you can’t go wrong with the Blackberry, the new BBM makes it the ultimate socializing handheld. Both devices are considered the best in the smart phone industry so this dilemma would be better resolved depending on your personal usage. :)

Power Of iPad


I was amazed watching this video.. Wanted to share it desperately :) 

The way music was created only by using the applications on the iPad and iPhone. Which other brand of mobiles can make this happen? For now, I think Apple rules the industry when it comes to creating applications. It has crossed 2 Billion application mark.

Yes, Apple has over 2 billion applications for its iPhone and iPad users all around the world.

Comments are welcome :)

Upload pics from iPhone to Twitter

TwitPic Your iPhone Photos With The TwitPict App

I just stumbled across TwitPic‘s very own iPhone app known as TwitPict. It’s available for free in the iTunes App Store right now.


Twitpict allows you to upload any image from your iPhone, or a new image via your camera using Twitpic’s image uploading service. So what’s the big deal if you can already twitter your photos from other mobile Twitter clients? If you tweet a lot of images throughout the day, but rarely check your Twitter stream this is  the perfect app for you. Skip the inbox, replies, and all the other stuff and simply push out content. It’s a quicker way to get your photos out on the go.

My next try is iphoneslide.com
Read bout it.. will try it out and update asap.. ;)

Cheers!!

How to type in capital letters on iPhone’s keyboard?

When you turn this feature on, you can just double tap the shift key and it will perform a caps lock. Simply tap the shift key once to disable caps lock. It’s much simpler than holding down the shift key while typing. :)

How to sync an iPhone with two (or more) Computers

This post shows: How to sync an iPhone with two (or more) Computers without deleting Songs/Vids or any data?

(Or, How to sync an iPhone with one computer and manually manage music and videos on another).
Note: This tutorial allows you to add music/videos/podcasts from multiple machines. If you just want to sync PIM (Contacts/Calenders etc) on one machine and media on another there’s a simpler way.  On the computer you want to sync contacts/calendar with select only these items and perform a sync. Now, on the second machine enable Music/Photos/Etc and perform a second sync. You will be warned the media library will be deleted, but as there’s no media this is fine :)
Because I do most of my music listening at work and my Calendar/Address book are kept in Outlook I have my iPhone setup to sync with my office PC.  When I’m at home however I find I also want to put music/podcasts/videos on my iPhone for the weekend or trips.
Normally it’s only possible to sync media on an iPhone with one computer. If you try to use a second computer you get the warning below that "the iPhone XXX is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library"?
However, I’ve found an easy fix for this. In the instructions below I’ll show how to modify any iTunes Library so it can also be synced with your iPhone. You can then either manually manage your iPhone on a second computer, or sync different data on different machines (E.g. Music at home, Contacts/Calendar at work).
The instructions below use the example of modifying the iTunes library on my home Mac to work with my existing iPhone/PC setup. If your existing library is on a Mac, or both machines are of the same type, then the steps are identical.

Notes
  • On the PC you can find your iTunes folder in your "My Music" (XP) or "Music" (Vista) directory. On the Mac it is in your Music directory.
  • For the editing part, I recommend UltraEdit on the PC and a combination of TextExit /HexEdit on the Mac. Any hex editor will do, and you only need to edit files on the second machine.
  • After completing these steps you will be able to sync your iPhone with both computers, either by normal syncing or choosing one machine to manually manage your music and videos. Unless you also keep your music libraries in sync, I recommend you do not attempt to normal sync the same types of data on both machines.

Backup Your Library

On the machine you want to sync with, backup "iTunes Music Library.xml" and "iTunes Music Library" (Tunes Music Library.itl on PC) to a safe location. These are the files you will be modifying.

1) Find your iTunes Library ID

On the machine your iPhone currently syncs with, open "iTunes Music Library.xml" with a text editor and find the entry between the <string></string> tags, after "Library Persistent ID". In the example below this is 8B6C633F7DACB74B. Copy this entry exactlyto a piece of paper, email, temporary file etc. You can then close this file.

2) Change your Library ID

iTunes stores your library information in two places. An XML file and a binary file. You now need to change the ID in both so they match your other library.
Make sure iTunes is not running.
On the machine you want to sync with open "iTunes Music Library.xml" in a text editor. Again, find the entry between the <string></string> tags after "Library Persistent ID" and copy this entry exactly. This time you can use the clipboard if you wish.
When you have a copy, replace this entry with the one you copied in part 1. Make sure you do not change anything else, and the length of the entry is 16 characters/digits. Save this file and close it.

In the Hex Editor, open "iTunes Music Library" (Tunes Music Library.itl on PC).
Select "Find and Replace" from the Edit menu. Make sure "Hex" matching is selected (not ASCII). In "Find" enter the ID you took a note of in Part 1. In Replace, enter the ID you copied at the start of Part 2. Choose Replace All, there should be one match.
Save this file and close it.

Success!

Start iTunes on the machine you wish to sync with and plug in your iPhone. When you select "Manually manage music and videos" you will no longer be prompted to erase your data, nor will the files on your iPhone be grayed out.

Cheers!! :D

iPhone Wifi not working? Reset your network settings

Had a interesting experience this afternoon. I’ve yet to write up my full iPhone experience, but here’s a early sneak peek.

I was working to get my iPhone connected to a hangout Wifi network. All my friends were working on the wifi in through the same network but my iphone which I bought just a couple of days ago wasn’t working! :|

I went to the guy whim I took the phone from and he said they’ll have to reinstall the software and do the process but I was least interested to loose all my data and back it up and crap..

I came back home and started browsing to get the issue solved..

Finally got the solution to it :D

From the Home Screen, I clicked on “Settings”. From there, I scrolled down to “General” and clicked on it. From there, I scrolled to the bottom, clicked “Reset”, then “Reset Network Settings”. After accepting the warning that I was doing something dangerous and clicking the giant red button, the iPhone started to restart. After it was done getting reset, I simply went back into Settings -> Wifi, saw my network, connected and it worked!

So, if you’re *still* having trouble with the iPhone Wifi, reset your network settings. That did the trick for me. Woohooo!!
