The Galaxy Nexus in Australia

The Galaxy Nexus is the newest phone that will be a collaboration between Samsung and Google. The phone will have the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on board.

Android 4.0 is a complete rework of Software for Google. They did many community surveys to see what people thought of the device and where the issues with it lie. People overwhelmingly though that the device lacked uniformity across the interface. There were two many different fonts and styles and this resulted in the device’s interface looking messy and unorganised. If you compare it to Apple who strongly control and set their design requirements, there was a huge gap.

Google therefore did a lot of work in trying to bridge this gap. They did this by setting requirements for styles and fonts.

Another change they made was to rewrite the way that the notifications worked.

A cool feature that they have also added to the product is called face unlock.

The iPhone 4S, the hit of the year

If there was anything that was underestimated this year, it would be the iPhone 4S. No one would have thought that after the presentation last week, and the following reaction, that the iPhone would have achieved what it has this week.

Most analysts and public opinion predicted that this would most likely be the worst selling iPhone ever. Not because it wasn’t a good device, but because it wasn’t the iPhone 5. Instead, it looks like this iPhone will be the best selling ever. It has already broken its record for the best selling iPhone in a day by reportedly selling one million units.

The iPhone 4S prices are very similar to last years prices and start at $199. It is available on 3 carriers now including AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. The iPhone 4S plans vary in calls and data inclusions however they are mostly on par with each other.

The iPhone 4S is like a character home, Apple have preserved the quality shell however completely renovated the interior. The iPhone 4S has been upgraded to include a new A5 processor. This processor is a dual core processor and is the same one that is used in the iPad 2.

The iPhone also includes a new 8 megapixel camera, however it isn’t your normal camera upgrade. The camera has been dramatically improved to include better sensors to allow it to take magnificent photos even in low light conditions. It also includes the ability to take full HD 1080P videos.

The iPhone 4S also has a dual antenna system which theoretically allows it to download at speeds twice as fast as it previously could. Apple has announced that the iPhone 4S can download at speeds of up to 14.4Mbps. Of course this is highly dependent on the environment and would most likely not reach this speed in normal working conditions.
