Can you spot the real iPhone? I borrowed a #KIRF #iPhone 4 to try it out. It looks genuine until I turned it on.

The Connected Phone evolution

Recently my wife decided to join the new generation of people that have an always connected phone. She decided that it’s going to be an iPhone for her. With the recent introduction of the Apple iPhone 4S in the local market, she decided to get one from Globe. With her officemate getting an iPhone from Smart, I decided to make a comparison between the two offerings in order to help other people in weighing their decision if they wanted to get an iPhone.

What to do if your iPhone suddenly vibrates continuously

Has your iPhone 3GS suddenly started vibrating and won’t stop? I know someone who has an iPhone 3GS and this is what exactly happened to her. Just this morning, her iPhone suddenly started vibrating and wouldn’t stop. Then the screen suddenly went blank and the unit was getting hot.

KIRF iPhone 4 looks like the real thing until…

I was able to borrow one of those KIRF (Keeping it Real Fake) iPhone 4. I decided to take some photos of the fake iPhone 4 side by side with the real thing. I must say, it’s really hard to spot the difference between the two by just physically looking at it.

When I got to hold the fake iPhone 4, I noticed that it was a bit lighter than the real iPhone 4. The thing that gave away its fakiness is when I started to turn on the iPhone. It doesn’t have the Retina display of the real thing among other things.

Nokia still the most connected phone in the Philippines

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been looking at statistics about mobile browsing in the Philippines. I wanted to find out what mobile phones I would need to support on the new version of the Ortigas Online web site when it comes out on the second quarter of this year. One of the things that I found out is that Nokia is still the dominant mobile phone brand in the Philippines according to a recent article by admob.com on advertising statistics.

Come and join the Photoshop contest

If you’re one cool dude who has a knack in using image editing tools like Adobe’s Photoshop (I know some pretty gifted people in the Philippines). Maybe you should take a shot at joining the contest over at Gizmodo. I just love the Photoshop contest at Gizmodo. Shows a lot of people have real talent. It’s also fun browsing at the contest entries.

This time, the topic is about creating a image showing an iPhone software application that Apple will never ever approve. Here’s one example:

An elegant solution to iPhone’s sound volume

If you’re one of those Apple iPhone users that doesn’t seem to get enough decibels from your mobile phone, here’s a very elegant solution. It won’t even cost you an arm and a leg to get one.

An smart company called Ten One Design has created the equivalent of having to put your hand over the iPhone speaker just to redirect and concentrate the sound coming out from it. A tuned conical deflection chamber designed to make the audio from your iPhone clearer and also slightly louder. Sound waves are reflected toward you, instead of away, so you feel more involved in your game, movie, or music.

SoundClip is said to amplify the iPhone audio by 10dB between 6kH and 20kHz, resulting in a cleaner, more accurate response. Storaging the SoundClip is easily done by a cord-gripping feature that fastens the object to your charge cable during syncing and charging.
