Samsung Goes Anti iPhone 5 by making an Ad, “It Doesn’t Take a Genius”

The newly announced iPhone 5 that went on pre-orders this Friday has now being targeted by the one and only Korean company called Samsung. Samsung has targeted the iPhone 5 with a new advertisement today stating, “It doesn’t take a genius to choose The Next Big Thing”. In this statement, Samsung has targeted the Apple Store Genius Bar employees who help customers to choose the best Smart Phone in the market and they help people with the issues as well. The Korean company, Samsung has made a biased comparison sheet for their Galaxy Flagship called Galaxy S III. The comparison sheet has been made with the comparison of iPhone 5’s spec sheet.

The amazing thing about the spec sheet made by Samsung is that they have putted on every single thing that they introduced in the Galaxy S III starring specs and OS Features. Where as, they never inserted the iOS Features and inserted in only tech specs of the iPhone 5 that are not even complete. There are many things missing from the list. You can check the spec sheet made by Samsung Below for Galaxy S III comparison with the iPhone 5.

The best thing about the above spec sheet is that Samsung has inserted everything that they have provided with Galaxy S III. They have inserted the S-Voice, S-Beam, Direct call, and every feature that is not even comparable.

Therefore, we edited the list of iPhone 5 to do head to head comparison with Samsung Galaxy S III.

We have added some of the features in comparison to Galaxy S III that were missing from the list. After adding the feature, we now believe the comparison is now fair. Samsung added many OS features and missed out the iOS features. This was a good move played by Samsung to market their Galaxy S III Flagship.

What do you people about the above original comparison and our edited comparison. Do let us know in the comments section below.

Will iPhone 5 Ousted Samsung Galaxy S III Sales? Apple Says “YES”

Early adopters of the iPhone 5 might have pre-ordered the iPhone 5 this Friday, where as late comers trying to pre-order the iPhone 5 would be seeing a big sign of out of stock just few hours after the pre-orders started. As soon as the iPhone 5 pre-orders started this Friday, a Tsunami of people rushed to pre-orders the iPhone 5 on Apple’s website to have it as early as possible. This great tsunami of people might have crashed down the server of Apple due to which some people might not be able to pre-order the iPhone 5 for themselves.

Over here at this point, Apple doesn’t care about who ordered or who didn’t. Apple is already in deep shock to see the response of the iPhone 5 pre-orders just few hours after they began. This doesn’t means that no one came in to pre-orders the iPhone 5, although the iPhone 5 pre-orders inventory was worn-out in just few hours after the iPhone 5 went on pre-orders. Of course Apple officials would be jumping like a monkey to see such a great response from the depleted inventory of iPhone 5 pre-orders in just few hours.

Apple Spokeswoman Nat Kerris, told AllThingsD in an interview that:

“Preorders for iPhone 5 have been incredible,” Apple spokeswoman Nat Kerris told AllThingsD. “We’ve been completely blown away by the customer response.”

The spokeswoman of Apple stated that they were blown away by the customers response for the iPhone 5. No official figures were stated by the spokeswoman to determine the iPhone 5 pre-orders. However, we believe the pre-orders might have made a record of 1 million iPhone 5’s booked for September 21 Launch. Rest, who didn’t got the chance to pre-order the iPhone 5 can wait till September 21 or go and camp outside the nearest Apple Store a week before to have his hands on before any one else can have. Not even the people who pre-ordered iPhone 5 would be having hands on before 21 or it can be delayed more.

As far as Samsung is concerned, its Flagship of Galaxy S III recently ousted iPhone 4S world Wide by selling 20 Million Units in just 100 days. Now, we have to see if the iPhone 5 ousted Galaxy S III world Wide by the end of September or October.

What do you people think?

Apple iPhone 5 Pre-Orders to Start at 12:01 AM on September 14, Friday

The time has passed fast after the iPhone 5 unveiling. Twenty-four hours have passed like a bucket of water poured down. The iPhone 5 was unveiled on September 12 that was this Tuesday and today is Wednesday that is about to end in few hours. After few hours, the date is going to be September 14 when Apple will announce the iPhone 5 Pre-Orders. Apple only told about the iPhone 5 pre-orders will go live on September 14, but they never told the time for the pre-orders. Therefore, today, Apple mailed the users to get ready for the iPhone 5 pre-orders that will start at 12:01 AM (PDT).

The iPhone 5 pre-orders will go live as soon as the clock ticks 12:01 AM (PDT). If you are craving for the iPhone 5 early hands on, then you need to load your credit cards or fill up your pockets with some cash to buy an iPhone 5. Before you even go to fill the cash or prepare your credit cards, you might need to order or make a reservation at Starbucks located near to you. You would be requiring a cup or two of coffee for the iPhone 5 pre-orders.

To pre-order an iPhone is not easy as an ABC. You need to fight for the iPhone pre-orders. You don’t need to have any physical weapon or location to attend the iPhone pre-order fight; indeed, you need multiple machines to get into the fight. There are tons of people pre-ordering the iPhone after it is announced. Therefore, people millions of people on the Internet would be waiting for the iPhone 5 pre-orders to go live, so they can order one for them selves. This huge demand for the iPhone 5 would make the servers go down that will result in halt for the iPhone 5 pre-orders.

To overcome this issue, you need to go with multiple machines to try repeatedly if you fail once for the iPhone 5 pre-orders. We would recommend to wait for the iPhone 5 pre-orders for about an hour or more and then pre-order an iPhone 5 because the load on the servers would be less and you could easily pre-order an iPhone 5.

If you don’t want to pre-order an iPhone 5 that much early and don’t want to be the early bird, then you should join the league of iPhone 5 on September 21.

Download iTunes 10.7 Ahead of iTunes 11 to Synchronize New iPod Series

After the Media Event got finished, Apple announced a minor update to its iTunes Software to new version of iTunes 10.7 only to integrate the new versions of iPod Series with it. This new update of iTunes 10.7 doesn’t bring in any new major improvements or new design as of the iTunes 11. This new update only brings in the support for iOS 6 for the newly announced iPod Series by Apple today on the Media Event. The main support is made for latest iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle running iOS 6.

What’s new in iTunes 10.7

iTunes 10.7 adds support for iOS 6 running on compatible iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models. This update also adds support for the latest iPod nano and iPod shuffle models.

For information on the security content of this update, please visit: support.apple.com/kb/HT1222

After this minor update of iTunes 10.7, Apple has planned for a complete revamped iTunes version that will be called iTunes 11, planned for October release. Today Apple demoed the iTunes 11 revamped version on the iPhone 5 Media Event. Before Apple could tell about the over hauled iTunes 11 version on the iPhone 5 Media event, the information regarding the iTunes 11 got leaked on Apple’s official website.

The amazing part is that, before Apple could even announced the iTunes 11 version or before some one could ever have guessed the iTunes 11 version, we told you about the iTunes 11 revamped version to come some time in fall back in April. Complete details are present here. At that time, we took everything as semi-confirmed and now everything is official.

However, this new update of iTunes 10.7 weighs a total of 152 MB in size without any major changes. It only carries the update of iOS 6 for future iPod series.

You can download the latest version of iTunes 10.7 from below.

This year we saw iOS 6 at the WWDC ’12, a year we move the development proceeds. Well the iOS 6 got many new features which are comparative to Cydia products. A haul over new feature was the deep integration of Facebook. We know that Facebook integration has always been used in Android form the start but Twitter integration wasn’t seen in Android.

There is no Golden Master for the iOS 6.

Some other great features were revealed such as ‘Do Not Disturb’, this features is relatively compared to detailed Silent. You can set timing and notifications which you want to get between the summarised timings provided by the users. The great move by Apple was the 3D Maps, a perfect mild of the world in your hands, turn-by-turn navigations and all the other maps are provided by Tom Tom this time, not by Google. The maps are one of the main catch to the users to but iOS 6 related devices. Siri is interestedly refreshed with all new languages, integrating with all the App Store applications, integrated with Maps and much more interesting than ever.

The iOS 6 also activates FaceTime over cellular officially. The all new App Store gets a best user interface, all new theme, new categories and Facebook pages deeply integrated with reviews. The new ‘Phone’ icon appears when a call is received; you can touch the icon to get two new options which are ‘Remind Me Later’ and ‘Reply with Message’. Remind me later lets you remind after you are out of a place or a time is set of reminding while replying at the spot is done with a sort of short messages/self-typed message.

The Notification Center gets fast tweeting and posting options for Twitter and Facebook. iPad for Siri, Offline reading lists and more over 200 features are revealed in iOS 6. Apple has also deeply integrated ‘Passbook’ a wallet in your pocket, in your device. Get all your cards, boarding passes, tickets and other important pieces in your iDevice which will makes you more secure than of taking a behold tension of original wallet to be carried.
