iPhone 5 May Now Be Able to Operate On Clearwire

How you can get VERY rich during times of economic turmoil, even if you don’t have a lot of money to invest…Watch the Video

iPhone Barcelona is Apple’s iPhone in Spain. According to Eric Prusch, Clearwire’s CEO, their strategy to shift to LTE will make it very easy for any iPhone to use their Network and it could prove to be a big benefit for the fruit company.

Obviously, all this would never have been possible a couple of months ago. Clearwire Network was financially down by then and was still tied to their WiMax Network. It was only through Sprint Nexel’s intervention that the company is now back on its feet.

Sprint Nexels was formally Clearwire’s shareholder and also happened to be their biggest consumer. Since the current iPhone already runs on Sprint Nexel, then it is likely that the iPhone 5 will be able to operate on Clearwire’s network as long Clearwire has LTE. Clearwire intends on shifting to TD-LTE.

This network is somehow different compared to FD-LTE variant which seems to have been favored by Sprint, Verizon and ATT networks. However, Clearwire and Sprint are both thinking of ways which could make FD-LTE and TD-LTE work simultaneously. Clearwire’s CEO has confirmed that they have found a chip that could connect the two.

Already, Qualcomm has enabled the two in their chips. According to them, they have by now installed 3 TD-LTE’s and currently experimenting on twenty. As it is, Clearwire is already providing its present 4G services to Sprint.

Evo 4G is one of the many gadgets from Sprint that operate on two networks, their own 3G network and 4G network from Clearwire. It would therefore do the Apple a lot of good if their iPhones could operate on the two networks. Even though Sprint is putting up their individual LTE network, it will rely on Clearwire in the uploading of heavy data in the most active areas.

When asked, Clearwire CEO refused to admit whether they will be working with Apple on the iPhone 5.

iPad 3 is most likely to release with iOS 5.1

iPad 3 is most likely to release with iOS 5.1

Category: Apple,Tablet PC | March 3rd, 2012

The iPad 3 is very much the tablet of the moment with an unveiling event to be held on Wednesday and a possible release shortly afterwards. We have often spoken of specs and features that are anticipated for this iconic device but today want to look at the operating system that we can expect and we feel that the iPad 3 is more than likely to release with iOS 5.1.

Many people are currently waiting for the public release of iOS 5.1 and it seem logical to think that it will be pre-installed on the upcoming iPad 3 and will become available to other iOS device users at the same time as the tablet release. Plenty of consumers consider the specs of a new tablet very carefully but don’t pay nearly so much attention to the operating system but news today certainly suggests that iOS 5.1 is on the way.

An article on Ars Technica tells how they were getting ready for their monthly stat report and found evidence that their site had been checked out 365 times by a device with a resolution of 2048×1536. This is the expected resolution of the iPad 3 and as there are very few devices with that same resolution it seems that Apple employees could have been using the iPad 3, although this is by no means concrete evidence. However the site also looked at iPad user agents from Apple in Cupertino and discovered that iPads using iOS 6 were being used. iPads using iOS 5, iOS 5.0.1 (used currently), iOS 5.1 (due shortly) and iOS 6 (due later) were all listed.

The idea that the iPad 3 might release with iOS 6 is not realistic however and that is more likely to come with the release of the iPhone 5 later this year. However the fact that iOS 6 is being used shows that it is very much in development and implies that iOS 5.1 is ready to go. It seems realistic then to think that the iPad 3 will release with iOS 5.1. You can check out this article to find out more about what iOS 5.1 is expected to bring to the table in the way of upgrades, bug fixes and Facebook integration.

Are you waiting for the big reveal of the iPad 3? If indeed it is released with iOS 5.1 pre-installed would that be a bonus for you? Why not let us hear your thoughts on the upcoming iPad 3 release.

Access the iPhone camera from the lock screen even quicker on iOS 5.1

With iOS 5, Apple introduced a method to quickly access the
iPhone‘s camera from the lock screen. In iOS 5.1, you can now access it even quicker.

One of the features in iOS 5 touted by Apple was the ability to quickly access the camera from the iPhone’s lock screen. You would double-click the home button, a camera icon would appear next to the “slide to unlock” bar, and you would be taken straight to the camera.

This method was faster than unlocking your device, navigating to the Camera app, and launching it, but it could have been faster.

With iOS 5.1, Apple changed the workflow for accessing your camera from the lock screen, streamlining the process. Gone are the days of double-clicking the home button.

Sliding the camera icon up will reveal the Camera app from your lock screen on your iPhone.

To access your camera from the lock screen now, you only need to press the home button once or the sleep/wake button to bring up the lock screen. You will notice the camera icon is now there, all the time, and you can’t tap on it to launch the camera. In fact, if you tap on it the lock screen will bounce, but nothing more.

Instead of tapping on the camera icon, drag it to the top of your screen. Once you get to the top of the screen, the Camera app will load, ready for you to start taking pictures. When you’re done you can slide the lock screen down from the top of the screen, or press the sleep/wake button to lock your device again.

Sliding the lock screen out of the way to access the camera is faster than the previous double-click method. If you’re looking for ways to take photos even faster, check out this post that explains how you can take 800 photos a minute on your iPhone.

What toexpectfrom the iPad 3 W

The latest version of the device that virtually defined the tablet market after its introduction in 2010, the iPad 3 will arrive at a time when competitors are beginning to put up a bit of a fight. Amazon made a splash with its simpler, cheaper Kindle Fire over the holidays, and rival bookseller Barnes and Noble has countered with its popular Nook Tablet. The Acer Iconia A500 offers more memory than the iPad 2, while other companies have begun flooding the market with devices that are smaller and cheaper than Apple’s standard-bearer. And, just last week, Microsoft rolled out its Windows 8 operating system for tablets, suggesting that Windows-based tablets could be making a serious run. So, what will Apple do to try to maintain its dominance? As usual, Apple has remained tight-lipped about what it’s announcing. The company hasn’t even officially said the event is for the iPad.

But it’s been almost a year since the iPad 2’s release, making the timing right for a refresh. And with the tech-centric South by Southwest Interactive Festival starting next weekend, it would make sense. Last year, Apple announced at the last minute it would be selling the iPad 2 at the Austin, Texas, event – ensuring buzz among the tech influencers there.

Few people outside Apple know for sure what CEO Tim Cook will unveil next week. But assuming it’s a new iPad, speculation and leaks have focused on a few possibilities: One titbit that’s cropped up over and over is that Apple manufacturers have cranked out a display screen that would be a huge leap from the current model.

The story, largely originating from China where Apple products are made, is that the iPad 3 will have a 2048-by-1536-pixel retina display.

That would be a major leap from the iPad 2’s 1024 by 768 pixels and rival the display on high-definition television.

There have even been reports, based on parts listings provided to suppliers, that the new gadget could be called the iPad HD. (For the record, suppliers aren’t told Apple’s marketing plans, so take that with a grain of salt.) Many tech observers who looked at Apple’s digital media invitation to the event suspect the crisp, clear partial image of what looks like an iPad is showing off the new display. The impact could mean more vivid gaming and movie watching as well as easier reading – a claim that Amazon has been able to make so far with its E-ink Kindles. However, some observers believe a higher-resolution screen could pose a problem for app developers who haven’t prepared for it. Some apps that don’t boost the pixel count of their graphics could look blurrier than they do on the iPad 2.

When the iPhone 4S rolled out this year, Siri was perhaps the main feature that numbed the techie pain of not getting a radically updated iPhone 5. Some folks focused on the voice-activated “personal assistant’s” limitations, but the ability to talk to a tiny, handheld computer and have it talk back captured the imaginations of many new owners. Perhaps in an effort to lend the 4S some pizazz, Apple didn’t enable the app on its older phones. But it’s hard to imagine why the helper wouldn’t be included on the iPad.

 

A cheaper iPad

Some observers say Apple may try to challenge less-expensive tablets on the market. At $199, the Kindle Fire is $300 cheaper than the least-expensive iPad.

The Christian Science Monitor quotes an unnamed source saying that Apple is working on a simpler, 8-gigabyte version of the iPad. Currently, the lowest-end iPad has 16 gigabytes of storage, running up to 64 gigabytes on the high end.

The emergence of cloud-based storage has, in some ways, mitigated the importance of storage space on devices such as tablets. And 8 gigabytes would put a cheaper iPad on par with the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet. Even if the offering were a simplified iPad 2, attacking the competition on two fronts could help Apple stem the swelling tide of competition.

 Better camera

The first iPad had no camera, which helped the iPad 2 make a splash when Apple rolled it out with front and back-facing cameras and the ability to run FaceTime, its video-chat app. Reports out of China suggest the iPad 3 could have the same, 8-megapixel camera from Sony that the iPhone 4S does.

That camera has earned raves from users, who call it a major upgrade from the camera on the iPhone 4. The iPad 2 delivers still photos at about 720 pixels. Of course, we’ve never quite understood who’d be taking still photos with a nearly 10-inch tablet, and the current camera is fine for shooting video. But maybe somebody will be impressed.

 It’s not just an iPad

OK, we admit this possibility would be the biggest surprise in recent tech-world memory. But since Apple hasn’t officially said, we’ll throw this one out there. Let’s say, contrary to all the evidence, Apple decides to swerve and announce something else. What might it be? The leading guess? An Apple TV set – the next mythical product for which Apple watchers have been waiting. (Some observers have read the tag line on Apple’s press invite – “We have something you really have to see. And touch.” – to suggest the company will unveil not one but two gadgets.)  Analysts who study Apple’s supply line say they’ve already seen prototypes of a fully integrated Apple TV. And, last month, Best Buy sent some customers a curiously detailed hypothetical survey question, asking if they’d be interested in a flat-panel, high-definition TV running Apple’s iOS system with access to Apple’s iCloud service. The hypothetical price tag? $1,499. Again, we don’t expect this development. But should a new iPad not happen, we think an Apple TV is the next best bet. (CNN)
