No Siri on iPhone 4?

Now lots of old iPhone (iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, even iPod touch) users are hoping that they could be able to get hands onto Apple’s new personal assistant feature Siri sometime in the near future without having to upgrade the phone.

Siri is a personal assistant application for iOS. The application uses natural language processing to answer questions, make recommendations, and perform actions by delegating requests to an expanding set of web services.

According to the report of Techland, an iPhone user recently asked one staff of Apple if there were any plans to release Siri as a paid upgrade to older iPhones. However, the Apple representative quickly shut the idea down.

“Engineering has provided the following feedback regarding this issue,” the rep said. “Siri only works on iPhone 4S and we currently have no plans to support older devices.”

It is said that that Siri needs the right work environment to be effective, and Apple is famously obsessive about the quality of its user experience.

“Siri is processor intensive and the 4S is likely the minimum it will reliably run on,” said Rob Enderle, principle technology analyst at Enderle Group. “They will carry it forward, I doubt they will push it back.”

The iPhone 4S has a dual-core, A5 processor that Apple says delivers twice the processing power of the iPhone 4’s A4.

Enderle also noted that Siri on an iPhone 4 would decrease the rationale for an upgrade.

“In the end, Apple is in the business of getting people to buy new hardware,” Enderle said. “They have little incentive to upgrade old hardware anyway.” dvd to ipod converter iphone ringtone maker

Samsung Galaxy Note: The Experience of Both Smart Phone and Tablet PC

Announced by Samsung 25th Sept., Galaxy S II has been sold over 10 million. And 15th Oct. The sales of Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy S II break through 30 million. Another good news for Samsung, in the third quarter, Samsung surpassed Apple and became the number one smart phone producer around the world.

In 2011, Samsung's development in the field of smart phone is really fast. Galaxy S II's success makes Samsung more confidence on the combination of Hyun-screen, ultra-thin and high-performence and the screen size goes up fastly. From the Galsxy S's 4 inches to Galaxy S II's 4.3 inches and the Samsung I919 reaches 4.52 inches and now the brand new Galaxy Note's screen is 5 inches that makes itself a cross between smart phone and tablet PC.

In fact, Samsung already released big screen smart phone Galaxy Tab, 7 inches screen makes users think it is a tablet PC. And from the way it named, it is true. After that Samsung published Tablet PC is also named after "Galaxy Tab". In daily use, people use Bluetooth headset to make a phone call instead of holding the phone in hand.

Samsung Galaxy Note uses a 5.3 inches WXGA 1280*800 screen and with a special Multi-stylus: S-Pen. The size of it makes it easy to take and also provides users the experience of tablet pc on a smart phone.

From the first feeling of Galaxy Note, it is just like a bigger Galaxy S II. Black ultra-thin body with rounded rectangle home button, even the location of the voice button and lock button are almost the same with it. While the supper big screen give you a shock when you open the screen. You may feel that it is not a smart phone. 1280*800 WXGA resolution, it means that diagonal pixel will reach 1510. In 5.3 inches screen, there is 285 pixel in one inch, it is also called ppi. Though it is not the most meticulous screen, it makes Galaxy Note superior to most smart phone on screen.

Samsung Galaxy Note's icon has smooth edge without sawtooth. The big resolution makes it can show more information on the screen. It can takes 25 app icon(5*5) and 5 Dock icon. 30 icons in one screen is the first seen on smart phone's screen. The superiority of big screen and resolution can be found much easier when you browse web and input words.

It is said that Galaxy Note is a bigger Galaxy S II. It is truth that some of the design of them are the same. The logo of Samsung on the top of the screen and the rounded rectangle home button are the same. And the return button and menu button are at left and right of the home button with white back-light. All in all, the Samsung Galaxy Note succeed the style of Galaxy family and the 5.3 inches 16:10 screen makes the bogy reaches 82.95mm, but the thickness of it is less than 1cm, 9.65mm. The big body makes it easy to input with two hands and brings better game and internet experience to users. But it is hard to hold it in one hand especially to female users.

The answer of if Galaxy Note can bring users a better experience of game and internet is that it takes a 1.4GHz Exynos Dual-core processor with two ARM Cortex A9 process build-in and Mali-400 Graphics chip. From the SMDKC210 CPU, we can say that Samsung Galaxy Note still uses S5PC210(Exynos4210) solution, which is the same as Galaxy S II. Samsung Galaxy Note RAM 1GB, after you turn on it and clear all the apps, the basic RAM take-up of the system is 500MB. ROM has 16GB and 32 GB version and with a max 32GB Micro SD expand.

Now lets talk about the multi-stylus: S-pen. I think the S-Pen is a result of the homogenization of the Android devices nowadays. Every producer wants to show their differences among competitors, so Samsung gives their new product a multi-stylus. S-Pen can be taken out from the bottom of the body. It has no difference with other capacitance pen except a button on it. The button is like the button on a multi-mouse, which assists the capacitance pen finish different operation. Let's talk about some examples of the S-pen. Take a screenshot at any time. You just need to press and hold the button on the S-Pen and touch the screen, you can take a screenshot easily. While the Home button + lock button's screenshot operation still works. The only different of them is that the screenshot from S-Pen, you can easily add your own notes on it. You can directly enter the edit interface of the screenshot you take from S-Pen. And add your own notes on it with S-Pen. It provides 4 kinds of pens: sign pen, writing brush, pencil and water-color paint brush. You can also choose the color, thickness and also the transparency of your notes. It provides 16 kinds of color, you can change them from a drop-down list. Of course, you can finish the operation with your finger, but it is better to use S-Pen, because it is more accurate and has better experience with S-Pen.

Samsung Galaxy Note has a 8 million pixel camera with auto focus, touch focus and a wealth of camera options. Through the edit shortcut, you can drag the the edit options like widget on the desktop, so you can rearrange the operation bar according your own habit. You can manually adjust the exposure, ISO, white balance and also built a variety of scene modes to adapt to different lighting needs. It is said that Samsung Galaxy Note's comprehensive camera options can meet the needs of normal users. For professionals, it is also a nice camera to use. It can take a picture with 3264*2448 at max and support 1080P full HD video. Users can also play 1080P video with the build-in player, you can drag the bar to set where to see without a frustrated picture.

Let's come to the conclusion, Samsung galaxy Note break the line of the screen size of smart phone with a big innovation, such as S-Pen, which can make users forget the fingers. 5.3 inches screen provides big info on the screen and the double bar design in the SMS and E-mail are rare in smart phone design. The most important, 1280*800 WXGA resolution brings you a tablet pc experience.

Brief Introduction of the Basic Operation of iTunes

iTunes was first introduced to users as a digital media player on 1/10/2001. After 10 years' development and Apple release so many popular products, iTunes perfectly matches with them and becomes one of the essential tools for all the Apple fans. Nowadays, iTunes is defined as a integrated software, which includes video/audio play, App store, data backup and devices management.

Download and Installation

Users can go to Apple's official website and enter iTunes page. In this page, you can see some basic functions of iTunes and you can also see the video tutorials of how to use iTunes. The first step is download iTunes. Apple's Mac OS brings the iTunes as a build-in essential tool. For Windows users you need to download and install it on your computer. It is free.

While you are installing iTunes, Safari and QuickTime are also installed on your computer. After insallation, you can see a shortcut on your desktop. Double click the shortcut you can run the iTunes easily and use it to help you enjoy your life better.

Today I will talk about some basic skill that may useful for iTunes users.

1. How to sync your iOS device's app with more than one computer?

The right of the useage of app is related to Apple ID account, one account can authorize upto 5 computers. Only the authorizen computers can sync apps with your iOS devices and the apps already on your iOS devices will not be deleted. If you have more than one account, every iOS device can authorize 5 different Apple ID accounts at one time. For example, if you have an iPhone, you can sync apps you buy from 5 different Apple ID accounts at the same time.

Run iTunes and you can find "Store" on the top of the iTunes interface, authorize the computer to your Apple ID account. After you have finished this, iTunes will show "including this one, you have authorized X computers out of your available 5". X represents how many computer you have already authorized and the max is five. If the computer is public or just for a short time, you need to cancel the authorizen before you leave.

Sometimes, you could just change computer all the time or you always use different computers and you have already authorized 5 computers and you must authorize a new computer right now. But you can not cancel other computer. Don't warry, you can use iTunes to cancel the 5 authorized computer with your Apple ID account.

After you have finish the authorizen, you can sync your iOS device with apps from different computer. (This time we only talk about app, but not music, video, and other media files.)

Step 1. First you need to connect your device to your computer and do not sync at once. If there is no iOS apps on this computer, the sync will be cancelled after you finish it. So it is necessary to have apps on your computer. The most fast way to do that is to transfer the apps from your iOS devices to your computer. Here you need to right click and choose sync purchased app.

Step 2. Then you need to go to "app" page and check the apps you want to sync. There will be a pop-up note from iTune, you need to choose "sync app". That's it. If you want to sync apps with different computers, remeber you need to transfer the purchased apps to the computer and then you can sync your apps.

2. Get a smart playlist to enjoy your iTune life better.

So what is a smart playlist? We call it smart playlist, well, it is smarter than the regular playlist. With criteria you can creat a playlist automatically, you just need to set what you want. You can assign the rules, such as artist, composer, the number of tracks, specific albums, file types and also bit rates. It can be auto updated to your iTunes. What's important is that if you do not like it, you can just delete it at all. This will not impact the actual music files and you can create another smart playlist.

3. Listen to your favorite radio through iTunes.

If you want to listen to radio, iTunes can help you to do that. Acctually, iTunes can not hear it over the air, but it can play back the internet streaming radio stations. You just need to click the radio option from the left control area and you will find you favorite radio listed here. If the list does not have your favorite radio station, you can copy the url of the station's streaming and paste it to the advanced menu and then slect open stream. Then you can listening your favorite radio via iTunes. Your stations will be listed on the main music page forever if you do not delete it.

Apple iTunes is a really nice tool for us to enjoy our Apple life, it helps us to manage our files on iOS devices and also it provides many useful functions for us. You will love it. I know there are some third party software providers also have some transfer software such as iPad converter, iPad Transfer and also iPhone to mac transfer and iPhone ringtone maker and also iPhone sms transfer to backup iPhone sms. They can help sometimes, but iTune is always my first choice to manage my iOS devices.
