New Iphone OS 4.0

The special event Apple has scheduled for January 27 may be more than just a showing-off of Apple’s new tablet, according to industry sources. It also could be the launch of version 4.0 of the iPhone operating system and the Software Development Kit (SDK) to accompany it.

The SDK will reportedly contain tools to assist developers in converting existing applications for the tablet. This could also make a higher-resolution iPhone possible in the future.

Mac4Ever – the site originally reporting these rumors - is not entirely confident that the new version of the OS will arrive as expected. Still, the site has published some very accurate rumors recently, including information about the iMac that proved to be accurate a month later when the updated iMac was released. The site also contains a rumor that says the tablet will be very different than the many conceptions floating around the internet.

Evidence of a fourth generation iPhone and updated operating system have also appeared in App Store analytics data.

Blu Ray

In 1997, a new technology emerged that brought digital sound and video into homes all over the world. It was called DVD, and it revolutionized the movie industry.

The industry is set for yet another revolution with the introduction of Blu-ray Discs (BD) in 2006. With their high storage capacity, Blu-ray discs can hold and play back large quantities of high-definition video and audio, as well as photos, data and other digital content.

In this article, HowStuffWorks explains how the Blu-ray disc works and how it was developed, and we'll see how it stacks up against some other new digital video formats on the horizon.

A current, single-sided, standard DVD can hold 4.7 GB (gigabytes) of information. That's about the size of an average two-hour, standard-definition movie with a few extra features. But a high-definition movie, which has a much clearer image (see How Digital Television Works), takes up about five times more bandwidth and therefore requires a disc with about five times more storage. As TV sets and movie studios make the move to high definition, consumers are going to need playback systems with a lot more storage capacity.

Verizon Two New Android Phones

One year after the first Android phone debuted, the open-source mobile operating system is finally picking up some steam.

Verizon has partnered with Google to offer two new mobile devices based on Android. The additions may add some excitement to the carrier’s otherwise lackluster smartphone lineup.

Verizon announced that it will have two Android-based phones in the “coming weeks.” It hasn’t said which Android phones will be on its network but there are two likely candidates: Motorola Sholes and the HTC Hero.

In June, HTC introduced the Hero, a phone with a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, GPS, a digital compass, a 5-megapixel auto focus camera and expandable microSD memory. The device features an anti-fingerprint coating on the screen for smudge resistance and a Teflon coating on the exterior. The phone has a specially designed user interface that lets users organize create different customized content profiles around specific functions or times. Users can also add widgets such as Twitter, Facebook, weather and e-mail to the phone. Verizon rival Sprint has already said it will offer the HTC Hero on its network.

The Motorola Sholes is still under wraps. Motorola hasn’t announced the device yet but leaks online suggest that it is strong candidate for Verizon. The Sholes is expected to have a 3.7-inch touchscreen, a 5-megapixel camera, GPS and Wi-Fi.

Motorola said it will have a new Android phone ready for consumers later this year. In September, Motorola announced the Cliq, a phone that focuses on social networking. The Cliq will be available on T-Mobile.

Verizon also took a jab at AT&T and the iPhone in its announcement today. Verizon said its new phones will support Google Voice on its network, something that Apple reportedly rejected for the iPhone.

Nuevo Celular Motorola Android

Motorola launched its third Android smartphone, an attractive, compact device with some surprising hardware innovations and a user interface that aggregates social networking feeds, e-mail and contacts.

The phone called Backflip has a 3.1-inch touchscreen, a QWERTY physical keyboard that opens up in an unexpected way, a touch-sensitive navigation panel on the back and a nifty mode that allows it to be positioned on the tabletop to act like an alarm clock.


The device is expected to hit the market in the first quarter of the year, but the company did not disclose pricing or a telecom partner for the device.

“This is a phone with a great keyboard, a big screen and integration with social networking,” says Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha.

Since Google debuted the open source Android operating system in October 2008, Android devices have flooded the market. More than 10 Android handsets are currently available with more waiting to burst into the spotlight. AT&T announced Wednesday that it will offer five new Android smartphones this year. On Tuesday, Google introduced its own Android handset, the HTC designed Nexus One running the latest version of the Android OS, Android 2.1

Motorola is trying to stay a step ahead, says Ross Rubin, an analyst with The NPD Group. “We have seen a lot of Android models appear quickly on the market,” he says. “So it’s starting to become more important for manufacturers to differentiate themselves.”
