Touch Screen Frenzy: Which Cell Phone is the Best?

Up until a few years ago, smart phones were mainly used as a business tool. However, today they are used as a way to communicate and access information easily and quickly. This is why smart phones have been equipped with touch screens and many other modern features that made these cell phones so popular. the newest models of touch screen mobile phones come with replaceable touch parts. For example, iPod’s screen can be replaced if broken, as well the iPhone’s, where iPhone Replacement screen is available for this exact purpose.

So, what is with this huge demand for touch screens these days? probably the best thing about them is that every touch screen mobile phone has a very large screen. a large screen enables you to watch all kinds of multimedia content easier and with increased excitement. no matter you are playing a game, watching movies or browsing the internet, it is impossible not to enjoy doing any of these on a large screen.

Moreover, they bring you several other benefits. after you get familiar with using the stylus, you will be able to control your phone much easier and type messages quicker. In addition, being able to carry the stylus inside the phone, as almost all of them provide this facility, you will love owning and using a touch screen mobile phone?

Now that we determined what you can get from a touch screen mobile phone, let me make your life easier and present you the best mobile phones that exist so far.

The order is meaningless, so I will start with the Apple iPhone 3GS. Apple has greatly improved this product based on the complaints of ordinary customers, and so it came up with the new iPhone 3GS. it has a built-in 3 MP camera that can also record videos, document editing functions, and multimedia messaging features. Moreover, the iPhone 3GS functions are being constantly improved.

The second mobile phone that I need to mention is the Motorola Droid. This is one of the most popular today. It’s most important features are the 5 MP camera, multitasking capability, 3 key-boards (1 physical and 2 digital), superior call quality, and at last, the 3.7 inch touch screen.

Our third one is the Palm Pre. This touch screen mobile phone was created by Palm with the desire to bring them in the first place. Its main features are the Palm Web Os, Palm Synergy data synchronization and high-tech multitasking capabilities.

The number 4 slot goes to Apple iPhone 3G 16 GB. it has comparatively shorter memory than the 3G’s 32 GB, but the price difference makes the lesser memory capacity not that bad.

The last but not least is the BlackBerry Storm 2 9550. Its standout features it is equipped with are the Wi-Fi, latest version of BlackBerry Handheld Software 5.0 OS, Improved sure Press user interface and doubled memory.

Touch screens can connect you to any part of the world with literally one touch of a finger. They make all types of information, knowledge and entertainment available with much more ease. All you have to do is to determine which of them the best is for you and you feel most comfortable with. then, you will never want to go back to the old keyboard style or to the trackball.

iPod and Apple Announcement!!?

I have been seeing stuff about apple getting ready to ship new iPods. I was so excited becuase i’ve been with my 3rd gen iPod for 3 years now. I watched the announcement with excitement as to what apple had in store for us this time. I was amazed that an iPod touch was being shipped on the 28th. but in order to ruin my happy joy excitement time apple gave us 8 and 16 gb iPod touch. I was like wtf!! I saw earlier he said they had 80 and 160 gb classics.

So what i’m asking is should I get an iPod classic or an iPod touch? and if your going to buy one of the new iPods are you buying the touch or classic?

Apple overtake is fitting for Microsoft's sour week

Apple’s surpassing Microsoft in market capitalization Wednesday very much embodied the sour spirit of the Redmond company’s week, and the struggles within its Entertainment and Devices Division.

Apple, which was nearly dead 10 years ago, engineered its turnaround on the lucrative consumer market. The iPod, iTunes and iPhone propelled the Cupertino, Calif., company from the basement of Wall Street to its new status as the world’s most valuable tech firm.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has struggled to execute in those same sectors. It was late to the game with the Zune and Zune services, and while they were perfectly decent products Microsoft’s marketing abilities all but failed. In its three years, Apple’s iPhone has redefined the mobile sector while Windows Mobile has hemorrhaged market share.

“Those are where Microsoft has been squarely having its lunch money stolen both by Apple and, more recently, Google,” said Steve Kleynhans, a research vice president at Gartner. “You can’t really look there and say you’re happy with the way things are going.”

Hence the sudden retirement of EDD President Robbie Bach, who on Tuesday announced his coming departure from Microsoft after 22 years. Exiting with him by fall will be 19-year Microsoft veteran J Allard, whose official titles – chief experience officer and chief technology officer for EDD – barely give justice to his visionary leadership of the company’s consumer business.

Bach’s and Allard’s crowning achievements during the time of Apple’s resurgence have been the Xbox, Xbox Live and Xbox 360. When it introduced the original Xbox in 2001, Microsoft inserted itself into an already competitive market polarized by Sony and Nintendo – and Bach, armed with billions in marketing dollars, turned the Xbox business into a blockbuster.

But even with Xbox, Bach’s and Allard’s division struggled. Microsoft continued to post strong earnings thanks to revenue from its enterprise software, Office and Windows – despite the Windows Vista debacle – but EDD even occasionally closed a fiscal quarter in the red.

“I think Microsoft was late to markets because they didn’t necessarily recognize markets on time,” Kleynhans said. “When they entered markets, they didn’t necessarily design products (elegantly) for the usage model.”

Apple and its chief executive, Steve Jobs, realized that the everyday consumer is not tech-minded, and wants alluring products that look cool and are easy to use, Kleynhans said. Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices Division, meanwhile, tried to push the Windows paradigm on its mobile devices.

“Look at the Xbox 360 – there’s nothing Windows-like about it,” Kleynhans said of EDD’s most successful product. “If you look at Windows Mobile, there’s a lot of Windows about it.”

At some point during the past few years – perhaps after Bill Gates left his day-to-day responsibilities in June 2008? – Microsoft’s leadership decided to change things up in the Entertainment and Devices Division. Microsoft’s started working on the next mobile operating system, Windows Phone 7, and gave it a Zune HD-like user interface and a new business model.

The Xbox team spiced things up when it introduced “Project Natal,” the upcoming controllerless-gaming add-on for Xbox 360, last summer. and April 2010’s launch of the Kin “social phone” marked a refreshed outlook on the mobile market before the scheduled holiday launch of Windows Phone 7.

“I think Microsoft felt a need to make some changes,” Michael Cherry, an analyst at Kirkland-based Directions on Microsoft, said of Bach’s and Allard’s departures. “And I think those guys decided it was time for them to move on.”

Speaking on Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur, CEO Steve Ballmer said the short-term timing was right, Reuters reported. “In the consumer business it has to be way before Christmas or way after Christmas,” he said at an unrelated event in the Malaysian capital.

But the long-term timing may also be right: well before Microsoft’s consumer-electronics division launches “Project Natal” and Windows Phone 7. and Apple’s theft Wednesday of Microsoft’s tech-company crown only further illustrates why.

As Google’s Android gains clout in the mobile operating system sector and as Apple prepares to release the fourth-generation iPhone and iPhone OS, Microsoft’s EDD leadership needs to be rock-solid. Especially as Apple tightens its stronghold on another emerging consumer sector that already represents billions in potential revenue: the tablet PC.

“It’s been product innovation. In two words, that’s basically it,” Sid Parakh, an analyst at Seattle-based McAdams Wright Ragen, said of Apple’s resurgence. “They’ve made products that people love.”

Will Microsoft’s new Entertainment and Devices Division do that too?
