BlackBerry Vs iPhone


No comments

posted in iPhone, by BindApple

BlackBerry  vs  iPhone. These are the two celebrities between all the smartphones.  Are you a BlackBerry user or a iPhone user? There will always be a conflict between these two and maybe between the users. The truth is that it’s hard to choose one because both are great! We will debate the problem between the BlackBerry and the iPhone 3G, so that we can keep it fair.

An interesting application for the BlackBerry is the one that can ignore calls from a particular mail-order steak company. This application allows you to block any number you specify. The phone will rang, but it will immediately the call. Isn’t this great? But the BlackBerry users are still no impressed with its applications and we can say that is where the iPhone wins for sure. There are thousands of applications available and Apple even encourage the developers to design and sell their own applications. Yes, you can also find some useless applications, but you have a huge list to choose what you want.



At first, iPhone had a bad reputation because it is too fragile. Apple proved that the iPhone is quite resistant. It will survive any accident, as long as you don’t drop it on its face. If the screen it’s not protected, then it’s bad. So go ahead and buy a hard plastic case or a rubber sleeve, protect your iPhone. And here is a plus on the BlackBerry list: it doesn’t break easily.  There are scratches, of course there are, but if you drop a BlackBerry, the only thing you’ll get, are scratches. So, that’s a good thing and a big plus for the BlackBerry, right? Even if it’s run over by a truck, the BlackBerry will still work and will have only scratches. This is amazing!

BlackBerry can be superior to the iPhone because the companies run its products.  It was made for business, so if you use a slower CPU, the BlackBerry can save you. But the iPhone has more storage, more RAM and a faster CPU. Great attributes, but for playing.  BlackBerry it’s great for personal use, but iPhone is better because of all those applications, the interface and because of that big selection of games.



Now, a funny thing; Apple Store rejected the Chuck Norris application (Chick Norris joke generator) because the said it ridiculed a public figure. How is that possible? How can you ridicule Chick Norris?  But BlackBerry accepts the application which is great. Maybe even Chuck Norris uses a BlackBerry! iPhone is a fun phone and offers you many fun stuff to do. But if you want something more practical and not that is not a toy, than you should go for the BlackBerry. Another solution for you can be to own the both phones. You can have all the applications in the world, you can play, and you can have all that, all in the same time; you can have a more practical phone that keeps you organized. So, it’s only your decision, you know what you need from your phone, and this was only a short review of the BlackBerry vs  iPhone battle.

iPod Touch Second Generation Review


No comments

posted in iPod, by BindApple

iPod Touch is of course a portable media player with built-in Wi-Fi  designed by the Apple Company.  It’s slim, light in weight and has a  screen of 3,5 inches. Yes, it looks god and it’s interesting. It’s a  nice gadget offered by Apple with wireless connection and great sound  quality.

The second generation iPod was released in 2008 (September) at  the “Let’s Rock” keynote presentation. It has a built-in speaker,  ability to connect a microphone, external volume controls and Bluetooth.  The speakers that the iPod has are extremely useful if you want to use  it for alarms or if you want to listen music without your earbuds. We  must say that if you choose to watch a movie or a video using the  speakers, you will find it very comfortable.  The quality of the  speakers is not that good, but it’s good to have them instead of nothing  at all.



Apple made the volume control easier for you by adding the outside  volume buttons. Let’s face it, you know that it was annoying when you  wanted to change the volume by using he touch-based interface. Apple  made it easier, made the volume control more accessible without touching  the iPod’s screen. An interesting addition to this iPod is full Nike+ integration and  also the Genius feature. The last one can take the characteristics of  one song and creates an entire playlist based on those things. Now it’s  fun when you want to play with your playlist and with your music  library.

Another feature that must be mentioned in this iPod Touch second Generation review is the high resolution “Cover Flow”. It’s a nice feature, but if you’re  using something like Limewire (when you import your songs), you can’t  get any Cover Flow. Another problem can be when you touch the screen  accidentally. Because the screen in extremely sensitive, if you are  touching it when a song is playing, the volume will increase to the  maximum. Than can’t be good for your ears and can really hurt you.

The models available for the iPod Touch 2nd generation, offer  you a capacity of 8 Gb, 16 GB and 32 GB. It still needs improvement and  maybe it’s not worth upgrading. There aren’t so many differences between  this one and the original one, but of you are thinking of buying a new  iPod, maybe you should try this one too.



Even though this second generation iPod is thinner that the last  version, we must say the battery’s life is better. It can offer you 6  hours of video playback and 36 hours of audio playback. After all, this iPod is a great mobile device. It’s a nice gadget for  anyone who likes surfing the web, playing games and of course,  listening music. Overall, it’s a good iPod with some great features and  if you are really interested in buying one, then you should. It’s  cheaper that the last version and it has some good things to offer. It’s  your choice and we hope that this iPod Touch second Generation review was helpful.

Jailbreaking Your iPhone


No comments

posted in iPhone, by BindApple

Jailbreaking your iPhone means that you install a 3rd party application on iPhone. If you want to unlock the phone, this process will allow your iPhone to accept a SIM card from all carriers. In general, users ask why should they jailbreak their iPhone if they already got the Apple’s Applications Store? Do they still need to jailbreak the phone with all this applications?

Even though there are thousands of applications available in the Applications Store, there are still some banned by Apple. One of these is Netshare, and this is where Cyndia and Installer comes in and let’s you download all these 3rd party applications.



Cyndia offers the iPhone users some great applications like:
-  MixTUbe (you can download and save the YouTube videos on your iPhone)
-  Cycorder (you can capture video in iPhone)
-  iAcces ( the user can download many kinds of Chinese Input Method)
-  NemusSync (offers the possibility to sync the iPhone calendar with Google Calendar)
-  Mame4iPhone (you can play arcade Games online)
-  iPhoneModem (let’s you use the iPhone lile a mode and so you laptop can have Internet connection via iPhone)

Try to compare any phone on the market with the iPhone. There is no reason why the last one should lose, except only for one: Video Recording. That’s why you should jailbreak you iPhone, because you can then turn the camera into a video camera by using Cycoder or iPhone Video Recorder.After using the iPhone for a long time, you can get bored with its standard icons. You want to change the iPhone look? Jailbreak the phone and you can use the Winterboard application to change the theme. If you’re a little bit geeky you may be interested by this. The inner part of the iPhone is a version of the Mac OS X (a trim-down version) and that is actually a Unix core. Your question can be if you can install Unix applications like Apache Web Server. The answer is yes. If you jailbreak you iPhone, you can install a version of HTTP server and of course, some other similar servers.  iPhone clients are using a SSH daemon. By using SSH you can connect to the iPhone remotely and you can transfer any file to/from it.



But the most common reason for jailbreaking your iPhone is that you can unlock it. After unlocking it, you can use any SIM from any carriers. There are some reasons why you shouldn’t jailbreak you iPhone and the most important one is that  this can break some of the software license agreement, but still, you won’t loose the warranty of the phone. If consider unjailbreaking the phone, you must know that you won’t be longer invalidating any agreements.

The big problem is if you are content with what the iPhone offers you. If you want more that what you can fin in the Application Store, then you should try jailbreaking your iPhone. But you should be careful not to lose the warranty or cause any damages to the phone.

Reactions on the Apple iPad


No comments

If you search for reactions on the Apple iPad, you can find  everything you want. There are positive reactions and negative ones.  People are against it or they want an iPad. You can’t make everybody  happy, but as long as some critics say good things, as long as there are some out there with positive reactions, it means that the iPad is not a complete failure.

It’s smaller than a laptop, but bigger than an iPhone an can be  carried around with you everywhere. Johanthan Glacey, who is a  correspondent for the Guardian mentioned that the iPad reflects clearly  the work of the talented designer, Dieter Ram. He’s talent is very  strong and you can observe that in the Braun products. Glacey also is  wondering how well can you protect the iPad, how will it cope when  you’ll drop it on the floor and on the pavements?

class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5460" />


Nick Gibson works in game research and he is a strategy consultant.  He thinks that the iPad will attract mostly the users with a fascination  for games. He says that gaming will be for sure the biggest reason for  the iPad sales. Gibson considers that we will observe how games will  take the advantage of the iPad’s design. Yes, playing games is a good  reason for the users to buy this gadget.

Neil Denny, a bookseller, mentions that the iPad price is too high.  But this doesn’t means that Apple won’t be successful with the iPad. The  real problem will be in the book sales field.  It’s true that Apple has  a good protection against piracy, but this doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to steal the content of a book.

The director of emerging media technologies (Ball State University)   said that the iPad is to him only  a big blank plate  which inspires  you a bunch of ideas (even though he was disappointed with the iPad  because it doesn’t have a camera).

Another reaction on the Apple iPad is the one of Stephen  Heppell, a profesoor at the Bournemouth University. He admitted that the  device will have a huge impact as a web browser, as a video player and  game console. He added that the product is gorgeous, that he wants one.  He wants teachers and children to develop for it and he thinks that that  moment is close.



The reactions on the Apple iPad are so mixed that we can not  describe all of them here. The only thing that we did is to mention a  few opinions of some important people. That doesn’t mean that the usual  client doesn’t have something to say. Of course he does and his opinion  is the most important one. The client decides if the new product will  have a success or not, if it was a good idea to release the iPad or not.  We can not write that opinions and we can not decide, but you can. You  are the client, the one who may buy the Apple iPad. Only you know if the  iPad is something that you need or not.
