5 Very Important Disappointments in Apple iPhone 4S

Apple's first iPhone launch under the stewardship of new CEO Tim Cook failed to match the unprecedented frenzy and lacked the magical flair of Steve Jobs. Though iPhone 4S will still sell like hot cakes and might possibly become the best-selling phone ever.

Unfortunately, the Apple aficionados may still find a few things short in their latest iPhone. While Apple augmented the new iPhone with a faster chip, much better camera and voice service Siri, Apple fanboys were left disappointed as they were hoping to see a newly designed, completely revamped iPhone 5 after a wait of over 15 months. 

The Missing List of iPhone 4S is as follows:

1. No New Design- The new iPhone 4S failed to excite on the looks. The device is absolutely identical in form factor to the previous model, disappointing fans and investors who were hoping for a thinner, bigger-screened design. Like iPhone 4, 4S also sports a 3.5-inch multi-touch display and retains the 960-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi.

2. NFC Missing-  NFC (Near-Field Communication) is a technology that allows mobile users to use their handsets as a digital wallet. The technology enables users to pay for retail goods or services such as transit rides by waving their handsets across a reader. Meanwhile, other phone makers like BlackBerry and Samsung are including NFC support in their upcoming lineup.

3. Thunderbolt Support Missing- While the Intel's Thunderbolt technology is making its way to the new line of MacBook Pro laptop computers, it was very likely that the new iPhone will also get it. But strangely, Apple choose to keep it out, maybe for iPhone 5.

Thunderbolt technology is a high-speed PC connection technology that brings together high-speed data transfer and high-definition (HD) display on to a single cable. Running at 10Gbps, the technology can transfer a full-length HD movie in less than 30 seconds.

4. HDMI Port- Like its predecessors, iPhone 4S also misses out on the industry standards ports. The new phone also come with Apple's connector to attach to computers, for charging and other peripherals. Apple also missed out HDMI port for sharing with HDTVs.

Apple has introduced AirPlay that will let iPhone users to wirelessly stream what's on their phone to HDTV and speakers via Apple TV. In addition, with AirPlay Mirroring, whatever you do on your iPhone appears on the HDTV at the same time.

5. Facebook Integration- While Apple announced a new notification center, BBM-like messaging service iMessage, and deeper Twitter integration, there was no word on Facebook integration.

So, At Last, we are at a point that iPhone 4S is not suitable for our needs. Lets hope if iPhone 5, gets these all....

Soon, PCs will understand what you feel...

Yes, Its a very popular news coming about that in Washington State, Researchers are preparing for inputs directly from humans, without any device Just like VIVO (Voice In, Voice Out)...

See what they say--

WASHINGTON: A Binghamton University researcher wants computers to understand inputs from humans that go beyond the traditional keyboard and mouse.

Lijun Yin and team have developed ways to provide information to the computer based on where a user is looking as well as through gestures or speech.

Yin says the next step would be enabling the computer to recognize a user's emotional state.

"Computers only understand zeroes and ones. Everything is about patterns. We want to find out how to recognize each emotion using only the most important features," said Yin.

Yin is also considering use of photographs, and even three-dimensional avatars that are able to display a range of emotions.

"We want not only to create a virtual-person model, we want to understand a real person's emotions and feelings. We want the computer to be able to understand how you feel, too. That's hard, even harder than my other work," said Yin.

"This technology could help us to train the computer to do facial-recognition analysis in place of experts," added Yin.

Google + Motorola (Motodroid)

Hey, doesn't its good..
News are coming about this, that Google, the giant is going to buy Motorola for a price of $12.5 billion....

Google said today it is giving the search giant valuable intellectual property and getting it directly into the handset business. Google said:

Google will pay $40 a share in cash for Motorola, a 63 percent premium over the company's closing stock price on Friday. The acquisition will "mildly" add to earnings once the deal closes by year's end or early 2012.

The deal simultaneously lends stability to and shakes up the Android world. With Motorola, Google gets a treasure trove of patents to defend itself and its partners against a rising tide of legal opposition. Over the past few months, major technology players such as Apple and Oracle have sued either Google or its partners in an attempt to slow down their competitors and extract licensing fees.

We are hoping a type of 'MOTODROID'... Lets, see what happens.

Enjoy teching!
