| iPhone 4; The Most Popular Camera on Flickr Soon? Posted: 19 Apr 2011 05:34 AM PDT Don’t be surprised if we say that the hottest camera phone this season is the iPhone 4; this has been confirmed by Flickr, a website with a vibrant community of serious photographers! As a matter of fact, iPhone 4, 3G and 3GS are the most popular camera phones beating HTC at Flickr. Meanwhile, point and shoot cameras are showing a steady decline.
The most popular camera used in terms of pictures taken that are uploaded to Flickr right now is the Nikon D90. But in about a month or so, it will be Apple's iPhone 4. What's intriguing is that D90 is about three years old where as the iPhone 4 is not even a year old. The rise has been spectacular. “The graphs show the number of Flickr members who have uploaded at least one photo or video with a particular camera on a given day over the last year,” Flickr says on the page where it ranks popular cameras. However, another Flickr graph shows that the percentage of Flickr members using point-and-shoot cameras is declining at a rapid rate. Obviously most of this data is rather qualitative. The timeline isn't marked with dates, and there are often problems with detecting the kind of camera used with a photo is uploaded to flickr. Anyway, the iPhone 4 trend is remarkable, as is the complete absence of Android phones. iPhone 4 doesn’t boast of high megapixel tag like Nokia’s N8 or Satio which have 12 megapixel cameras, but Apple’s post processing and accompanying software is considered industry-leading. And hence, the iPhone 4 camera is considered to be the finest camera phone among all the smartphones with its 5 megapixel shooter. And the iPhone 4 camera is equally awesome when it comes to movie making [Watch "Apple of My Eye" – an iPhone 4 Movie]! Apart from digital cameras if iPhone 4 is to be compared with other popular smartphones in list of Flickr, HTC Evo 4G & HTC Droid incredible stand far behind in line after iPhone 4. With both HTC products having 8MP camera are not being able to match the excellence of iPhone 4 with just 5MP of camera in comparison to them. The Flickr data also suggests that more and more folks are using cameras in their phones to click everyday photographs , slowly abandoning the point-and-shoot cameras. At any rate, the flickr data suggests a social and technical trend that, for better or worse, predicts big changes in the consumer camera market, driven, again, by Apple. |
| Entertaining Innovations Continue To Revolutionize Technology World Posted: 18 Apr 2011 11:38 PM PDT It's pretty amazing when you consider ten years ago everyone was carrying around one of those Nokia brick phones that were huge, had terrible service, and barely anyone was texting. The speed with which advancements in technology are hitting the market is overwhelming and exciting all at the same time. Though the iPhone has been, in recent years, one of the leaders in touch-based applications, there have been industry innovations across the board that isn't exclusive to any one brand or company.
A lot of buzz has been centered on the new iPhone 5, due to the potential inclusion of an exciting new piece of technology, nanogenerators. This means that the iPhone 5 could potentially be powered by the users heartbeat and other forms of kinetic energy in the next few years. This would revolutionize phone-based application and other forms of electronics. It's not hard to see all of the ways that it could be applied to other areas of the market. This is an exciting new piece of technology that's got everyone thinking, but it seems that this is a common theme for technology innovation. Entertainment is often the forum where many of these giant leaps forward take their first baby steps. Microsoft, for example, is developing something called "Skinput" technology. It's being designed for the Xbox 360 for a more interactive experience for users. It effectively turns people into human joysticks. A projection of options would be placed on the arm, which would basically turn your arm into the remote control. This is based on the idea that mechanical vibrations that move through the body are acoustically distinct, depending on location and resonance. It's more of a glimpse into the future of gaming, but its broad based application is nothing short of stunning. In theory, "Skinput" technology would allow users to control several devices like a phone, MP3 player, or other particular devices through the use of an armband. In the last couple of years there's been several version of movement-based technology for video games. This has come a long way since the Wii introduced a gaming platform based almost entirely upon the user interacting with the game through movement. Now systems are introducing a hands free system where a person can play a game simply by responding to the information presented on the screen and physically respond to the specific issue. A sensor capturing the movement will then allow the onscreen avatar to be controlled by the user. Microsoft has released Kinect for Xbox. Sony has also released its motion sensor controller. It's not clear yet whether or not individual platforms will be released based solely around this concept. It's more likely that this technology will be available as a supplement to traditional gaming. It's amazing to think of all of the possibilities in computing software, storage visualization, and other real world applications. It's strange to think that it has been through the field of entertainment that our lives have been made easier. Logically, it would happen the other way where we would invent things to streamline our daily lives, but it has, for a long time, been the other way around. We'll just have to wait and see, or just imagine, how these revolutions in gaming and entertainment will revolutionize our lives. |
| Laptops, Notebooks and Netbooks; What’s the Difference? Posted: 18 Apr 2011 04:46 PM PDT Netbooks, notebooks and laptops are three words that may seem synonymous or interchangeable, but in actuality the devices all have separate, distinct features, which can confuse consumers shopping for a new computer. For the average computer whiz, the differences between laptops, notebooks and netbooks seems obvious, but for the technologically-challenged, or even the average consumer, the slight variations between these computing devices may not be so clear.
Laptops and notebooks are more comparable than either a laptop or notebook and a netbook. To begin, let's break down how they are similar. Many computer manufacturers have dropped the name "laptop" from their line of products, because it is simply an outdated term. Since more and more portable devices are smaller and lighter with each new model, they are being considered notebooks. Laptops are small and portable compared to the immobile desktop computer. As the name suggests, these computers are designed to fit comfortably on your lap. A notebook is also much smaller, portable and very lightweight and as its term defines it, it's about the size of notebook stationary. HP advertises its line of "Performance Notebooks" as notebook computers. The starting weight is around 6 pounds and they have 15.4" to 17" displays. "Their ‘Balanced Mobility Notebook’ line is smaller in size and fits the description of notebook better than those in the performance series, due to the weight and screen size," said Ben Stein of LaptopReviews.com. "It's the best smaller line I've seen in a few years." These models weigh from 4.7 pounds and have 14.1" to 17" screens. Both are termed notebook computers, but the former is built to the specification of the average laptop in terms of size. Gateway uses only the notebook term to describe all their mobile models, as does Sony, IBM, Sharp and many others. Both laptops and notebooks function with the same types of hardware, software and can use wireless or 3G to access the internet. Yet, laptops are more powerful and bulkier to make room for drive and ports. There are many other clear ways to differentiate between the two types of mobile computers, including: Notebooks:- Low profile (thin) Laptops:- Bulkier Frame Both are portable, and can function on battery life. However, laptops are specifically designed to replace an entire home computer, including memory for additional software, drives, USB ports and full-sized keyboards. Now a netbook is different from both the laptop and notebook. Again, the easiest way to spot the difference is size. The netbook system power is less than both the notebook and laptop. Netbooks are essentially designed for surfing the net, while notebooks have different features, including better operating systems, optical drives and more offline use. Notebooks are bigger because they hold more memory. With netbooks, the operating system needs to use as little memory as possible, because the machine needs to be freed up to launch more than one program at a time. Mini-laptops and netbooks confuse people because they are actually a hybrid device that combines laptops and netbooks components – blurring the lines between the two. Netbooks are small portable computing creations with displays ranging from 7" to 10," and they weigh under three pounds. The keyboard is 75 to 80 percent smaller than a standard keyboard. These devices are great for internet surfing, social networking, email, and they have built in Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB ports and flash drive slots. However, they do not have CD or DVD drives and use SSDs (solid-slate disks) for storage. Netbooks are easier on your budget ranging from $200 to $400. Laptops are a little higher, ranging from $300 to $800 normally, and notebooks cost the most when comparing the three. Notebooks range anywhere from $500 to $2000. There are many options for computing systems on the market. The consumer must have a good idea how they will use the computer, and the specifics of capabilities necessary to meet their unique needs. |
