The Groundbreaking iDevice Update Known As iOS 5

Apple has never been modest in showcasing its newest innovations whether they be hardware or software. The newest update to their entire line of iPhone, iPod, and iPad devices is known as iOS 5.0. Much like the previous 4.0 release, iOS 5.0 has sent shock waves of creativity and has once again increased the user friendly platform that drives their personal portable computing and communication devices. The following article will go through the updates iOS 5.0 brings to the table and how they will enhance having an iDevice.

The most eye-catching update to this generation of software is the notification center. This new feature is innovative in several ways. Should the user be in an application or browsing the web, the notification center now allows a top of screen notification that does not create interruption to the task which is currently being performed. Secondly, when the phone is locked, the notification prompt can display all items that have occurred since the operator last used the device.

Much like the notification center, the new reminders screen increases the user-friendly nature of the device. Operators can now open this area to create a to-do list of topics; a change from the current calendar bullets that were cumbersome if many were listed on one day. The reminder feature creates a side bar that displays all of the tasks for the day while not minimizing the view of the calendar.

Continuing in line with the last features, the new camera update is a topic which many iPhone users have been blogging about since day 1. The new features allow the user to quickly activate the camera feature while the device is in lock mode. Rather than unlocking, opening, waiting for the camera to load, and then capturing a photo. The new feature allows a click and subsequently allows zoom with the popular pinching motion. The camera may now truly replace a separate portable camera.

Along with the camera updates came updates to the photo platform on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. The new updates allow users to crop, reduce red eye, and rotate their images right in the convenience of the application. This is a major update from previously having to load the image to iPhoto, update it, and re-sync it to the iDevice. Users can now edit and send images via text or email in a fraction of the time.

For those users that were apprehensive about getting an iPhone in the past due to the dislike of its inherent necessity for a personal computer; the wait is over, the device will no longer require a PC for activation. Most users will still like having a PC or Apple computer to keep a backup of their device; however, it is now no longer a necessity.

The last user generated change to the device lines is the ability to sync and update your iDevice with the iCloud interface. This interface allows wireless sync from anywhere. Whether at school or work, the new iCloud feature will update the device should a requested change occur at the users authenticated PC.

It is clear that Apple has once again broken the barrier with their newest update, it seems as if the possibilities are endless.

Motorola RAZR Also Known As the Motorola Droid RAZR Announced for Release

Motorola has now announced the release of a new handset which many will recognise the name of, the new Motorola RAZR - which is also to be called the Motorola RAZR Droid in America takes on the branding from a previous phone sold some years ago called the Motorola RAZR V3.

The new Motorola RAZR is a very different phone to the V3 and it looks like the manufacturer is aiming to gain interest from one of its best-selling mobile phone models of all time by using the RAZR name tag once again.

There is some exciting new technology being used in the manufacture of the new RAZR, this includes a laser-cut Kevlar back cover which is the same material used in body armour and 'SplashGuard' which is a nano particle-based water repellant system that not only covers the outer casing but also the electronic innards of the phone.

Getting down to the bare bones in terms of features, the Motorola RAZR is a powerful smart phone with a 1.2GHz dual core processor along with 1GB of RAM at its heart, the main touch screen measures 4.3 inches and uses the same Super AMOLED display technology found in the Samsung Galaxy S2.

On the reverse of the phone the Motorola RAZR again matches the Galaxy S2 with an 8 mega pixel camera supporting full 1080p HD video capture and there is a secondary 1.3 mega pixel camera on the front of the phone facilitating video calls.

Another Motorola phone may spring to mind whilst looking at these specifications which is the new Atrix 2 which is due to upgrade the existing Motorola Atrix very soon, however the Atrix 2 is not going to be sold in European markets and so the new RAZR will be the manufacturers flagship device in this area.

One point that may go against this new phone is that although it runs the very latest Android 2.3.5 operating system known as Gingerbread it will be up against competition from the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus which will be running the Android 4.0 system known as Ice Cream Sandwich, which could hurt sales.

To counter this Motorola have included some new software features of their own including one called 'Smart Actions' which allows the user to completely personalise their experience from changing the menus around to launching different applications within certain features.

The Motorola RAZR is extremely sleek which again points back to the days of the slim V3 model, this new phone measures a mere 7.1mm thin at its slimmest point but manages to pack in a multitude of features.

Connectivity is provided by Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and fast download speeds via HSPA+ as well as 3.5G support and Motorola have also addresses the problem of power drainage from the Android system by installing a large 1780mAh battery for a longer life between charges.

This new Motorola phone is due to be released in November.
