Recently a friend of mine asked me if Microsoft still supports Windows XP and of course, without checking the facts I said yes.  Well I stand corrected.

According to an article on WWW.CNET.COM Microsoft will be supporting XP until 2014, moreover the article continue to read that Windows XP OS has increase slightly in market share over its counterpart Windows 7.

I invite you to read the rest of this interesting article here.  I for one still uses Windows XP and I am still loving it.  It isn’t bloated like Windows Vista, with it so call bells and whistles.  I do however have a desktop with Windows 7 Operating System which I use purely for research at the moment (and I might add it’s very user friendly).  Windows XP is lightweight compared to Windows 7/Vista  and offers a less learning curve.

Lance Whitney of CNET said and I quote “Among operating systems in general, Windows remains in top place by a long shot with an overall share of 92 percent. Apple’s Mac OS X grabbed 6.39 percent of users last month, a minor increase from December and around a one percentage point bump from a year ago” For more read do go click here

There are numerous rumors at the new iPad release date. The Apple iPad 2 was launched in April 2011, so it appears that evidently the latest iPad may possibly be at market around same time.

iPad  users are looking forward to discover the latest iPad features and  launching date of Apple’s upcoming iPad 3.  A lot of them are incredibly thrilled to experience the  new iPad 3 features and functions . Many portals and blogs sites on technology news on the web, have given different dates of the release the latest iPad to date,  and also  its upcoming range of features.

According to China Times  Apple had planned to introduce its new third generation tablet computer called iPad 3 by Thanksgiving . The date celebrated as Black Friday and the unauthorized preliminary day of the celebration shopping spell was whispered as the probable release date for the new Apple iPad.  Anyway it wasn’t released by that time.

Foxconn, the Apple’s major manufacturing partner, was also said to be starting production on the new iPad 3 in January. Digitimes says the new model is expected to meet the heady heights of 9.5 to 9.8 million units over the course of Q1 2012.

The new iPad will come with new exciting features like ipad 3 fingerprint proof but what is true we don’t know yet.  Some trusted news sources like CNET, CNN project these great new features.

The first feature is Retina Display, Apple ipad 3 news say claimed all the company’s new creations will be with retina display.  Lots of users were expecting a retina display with its current version of iPad 2; but the iPad dissatisfied all with the similar display of the prior iPad. There is lots of rumours that says it will come with 2048×1536 screen resolution as well.

The second great feature might be the SD Card Slot.  Lots of iPad fans  are expecting an insurrection in the company’s iPad 3 with an SD card slot.

The third feature will be the Camera Flash.  A top resolution and high mega pixels camera with flash is a much-anticipated quality of your iPad.  This is one feature raving fans have been waiting on.  Do hope they follow true with all their promises.

It’s the most feasible that the brand new iPad 3 is going to have a brand spanking new processor, Apple’s A6 – which will surely be a quad-core ARM-based processor.

We have seen every one of the details; their possible specifications including chips, cameras, retina, processor with the help of tech news sites and web rumors.

Find out important recommendations about F – read this web site. The time has come when proper information is really within your reach, use this opportunity.

Since AT&T Wireless is actually pushing their HSPA because their 4G with trials of LTE running or preparing to run in most locations.

I might expect the GSM model of your iPhone to acquire HSPA 4G as Apple hasn’t ever taken the possibility of investing in a feature (4G LTE) if this isn’t going to work.

On another note, it’s anticipated that the GSM/CDMA combo chip are usually in the device meaning that Apple can produce one phone then sell it on networks which could lower the iPhone 5 price.

Currently the display size appears to be up in mid-air. A lot of the resources state that it’ll have a 3.7″ screen, up from the 3.5″ screen of the apple iphone 4, however one more group says that it could possibly feature a 4″ display screen.

I do not imagine the screen would go bigger than four inches because that might be a primary jump in the screen size and would most likely bring on an all-around innovative style of the device which could impact the iPhone 5 price in production.

4 inches remains to be a very big jump when we are dealing with cell phones, and so I will agree that it will switch to 3.7″ if this changes whatsoever. With Gorilla Glass becoming more and more common on mobile phones nowadays, I really believe that Apple could lock in a whole lot for a bigger display size with out them affecting the iPhone 5 price at all.

How about those video cameras? The iPhone 4 features a 5MP rear-facing camera along with a VGA front-facing digital camera that are both outdated to say the least.  Both digital cameras were starting to be obsolete when the phone premiered.

With 8MP rear and 1.3MP front becoming a norm of all brand-new cell phones, I assume that Apple will continue to be with that norm and does not propel to exceed it in any respect.

Pricing charges charges, that’s the true question! No big costs variations have already been made throughout the years each time a newer iPhone is launched therefore i expect it to be exactly the same this year.

With product sales soaring at their existing sale rates, I would not discover them decreasing the iPhone 5 price to get additional sales and I don’t see them raising the price as a result of risk of losing buyers.

Any diehard Apple fan will certainly jump on $199 or $299 iPhone 5 price forthe new mobile phone and anybody else who just really wants to jump on the bandwagon will probably definitely pay $99 for the iPhone 4 which is still a fantastic phone, especially with those prices.

I am hoping this informative article helped give you a perception of what to expect with the new iPhone 5 price and iPhone 5 features and as always, I wish you good luck with your future buys!

As cell phone technology growth increases there are many ways to interlace these devices and the real world. Technology like QR Codes and Near Field Communications are good examples of communication enhancements which enable the physical world to interact quickly and effortlessly to the mobile world.

Many ask what is the difference between QR Codes vs Near Field NFC technology? Or even what is QR Code? Is one going to die while the other thrives? What should I do?

These are the wrong questions to be asking. You see, the chips and codes just bring you to a URL, and it’s that URL that you should be focusing on.  Most people concentrate on the operations of what technology they should be using. What you should be thinking of  is how you incorporate the technology you choose, and keep yourself open to change.

So what’s is a QR Code? You may have seen the strange square dots around and not really know what it was entitled. QR stands for “Quick Response” and although it was developed in Japan in the 1990s nowadays it is scanned by smartphone cameras to get information.

QR Code scanning software is available at no cost and can be downloaded by any smartphone through iTunes iPhone store, Android Market, or on the Blackberry and Nokia’s Symbian systems.

The Smartphone decodes the QR Code into some text, usually a weblink. The smartphone then takes the user to an internet browser where she can check out the information.

Savvy users are utilizing QR Codes now to help market their marketing services by including the QR Code in print media. Sadly, most businesses are not being very savvy about how they link to the QR Code.

While more and more businesses are including QR Codes in their marketing campaigns, coming up with creative methods to entice the user to expend energy to stop and scan it is key. That’s why linking it to an taste of your services is becoming more and more critical.

In order to connect the offline marketing to the online sales campaign can be tricky. The business needs to first get the lead into the system in some way. Historically this has been accomplished by getting the prospect to submit their email address into a form to subscribe to a newsletter.

Recently, it’s more convenient to encourage the audience to follow the business on Twitter or Facebook. However, these are better for news and updates rather than customized user experiences. Also, using Twitter there is no method for the business to know whether the user has visited the store or not, let alone if the customer has used their offer or not.

 You can’t manage QR Offers from Twitter. That is why businesses require an additional website to store and track the offers for them, much like a Twitter database for their offers. Corporations can either invest a large amount of capital in building their own custom software and management system, or use an existing website like the one at QR Code Business Cards.
