Mobile phone facts that might amaze you

Do you know some of the most interesting things about mobile phones? Well, here are the lists of few most interesting things about the mobile phones that you should know:

Can you imagine how much text messages through mobile phones do Koreans teens do? They are the No. 1; they send more than 200,000 text messages in a year.

Do you know that there are 3.3 billion of active mobiles in the world? The number is equal to the half of the entire world population.

People cast more than 125 million cell phones in each year. It becomes a general tendency of the people to shed their phones quite often. For example, it has been found that the Koreans generally change their mobile phones within a year. It is now becoming an environmental issue as well.

For the convenience of vote delivery, the Estonians are using their mobile phones. It also serves as a very convenient means to show their personal identification.

The first mobile phone device was invented by Motorola and the device was named as DynaTAC 8000X.

Do you know two-thirds of the mobile phones users are using the backlight of their phone as a flash light? It was confirmed after the survey taken by the sprint. Well, nice use of a mobile phone.

Mobile phone is becoming an excellent means to notify people about the upcoming disasters or emergencies. Phone companies in some countries like Finland and Japan, where earthquakes are very common have already worked out these features. Such features in the mobile phones will be absolutely of no charge.

If you have a Nokia mobile set and you are going out of battery and also you are expecting a very important call. Do not worry, simply by dialing the code *3370# , the battery of your Nokia set will upgrade up to 50% by using a built-in reserve battery. This is very helpful in the situation when mobile battery is about to finish and you do not have any other means to charge your set.

HTC coming up with Quad-Core Tablet in 2012

If HTC is actually sure to come up with this Quad-Core Tablet then the tablet race is so on. With so many tablets on the market and new ones coming every now and then, it looks like we, as a consumer will have a lot of choices. We have a report that HTC will show its muscles of quad-core processing for tablet at Mobile World Congress in February 2012 but might not be lunched until third quarter of 2012.

HTC was happy with a 1.5 GHz single-core processor for its previous tablet HTC Flyer and Tegra 2 dual-core processor for the HTC Jetstream which came out about a month age.

HTC has not achieved much of a success on Tablet market with its two previous products and they are looking forward to vindicate this with the new quad-core tablet.

HTC initially lunched HTC Flyer at Sprint Nextel and the HTC Jetstream for AT&T and both of them struggled to capture the market and consumer interest.

The 7 inch Flyer had a digital scribe pen and HTC’s unique sense user interface but the product is not doing well. The Jetstream was the first 4G LTE tablet on AT&T priced at US$699.99 with a two year contract as usual. But now, it retails for US$ 649.99. The price it seems was too much for consumers who would rather get their hands on Apple ipad with thousands of apps over the Jetstream’s fast cellular connection.

This third tablet from HTC might just be another quad-core tablet coming out late on the tablet race. If Q3 of 2012 is the release date then it will just fail like its previous tablets because they are just too late. Looking at the Apple’s ipad success, it is clear that if you are the first one to start the race than you are at the lead otherwise you are just another follower without much of a success on your belt.

No iPhone 5 this year

Apple has unveiled the latest iteration in its iPhone range, but there was no sign of the widely rumoured iPhone 5.

The iPhone 4S, as the model will be known, boasts an improved camera and significantly extended battery life.

It will run the latest iOS5 operating system, which is set for release on 12 October.

The event was the first major announcement for new boss Tim Cook who took over from Steve Jobs in August.

The iPhone 4S, which will go on sale on 14 October, will be available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models – in both black and white.

It has the same look and feel as the existing iPhone 4 which was launched 15 months ago.

However, Apple said that updates to iOS meant the phone would boast some “200 new features”.

Shares in Apple fell by almost 5% within minutes of the eagerly anticipated launch, with analysts saying that investors and Apple fans had expected the latest version to be a more radical improvement over its predecessor.

However, the company’s shares later regained most of their losses to close down just 0.6%, albeit underperforming the NASDAQ index as a whole.
Voice control

Among the additions is an “intelligent assistant” that allows users to ask questions aloud and receive detailed answers back.

Siri, which began life as a third-party app, was purchased by Apple in 2010 but has yet to appear within its software.

Luke Peters, editor of gadget magazine T3, said that the software announcements would do just enough to keep Apple fans interested in the face of strong challenges from rival smartphone manufacturers.

“Some people were looking for a brand new phone and they haven’t got that today, so some will be disappointed,” he told BBC News.

“But with the update to iOS5 and Siri that could be enough to sway people to make the investment.”
Disappointment

Other industry watchers were less charitable about the iPhone refresh, and the non-appearance of the iPhone 5.

Gareth Beavis, phones editor at TechRadar said that the new hardware would leave many people underwhelmed.  apple_iphone4

“It was quite disappointing. I think there is going to be a lot of anger from users expecting something big bold and quite exciting after a long time of waiting from the iPhone 4.

“People will buy this in their droves, but Apple has missed a trick by just releasing the exact same phone again with marginally upgraded specs.”

For Apple’s new chief executive, the event was as much about making a statement about his leadership as it was new products.

Tim Cook had previously acted as interim boss, looking after the company while Steve Jobs was on sick leave.

Unlike his charismatic predecessor, Mr Cook left the biggest announcement of Tuesday’s event to a colleague – marketing boss Phil Schiller.

“Maybe he wants to bring other people to the forefront by letting others speak on his behalf,” said Gregory Roekens, chief technology officer at PR firm Wunderman.

“But in terms of style, it was underwhelming. People were expecting iPhone 5, but instead it’s almost fixing the weaknesses the previous phones had.

“It will be interesting to see how people react to that.”
