The iPhone 4S: A revolutionary new media experience

Enjoying the improved features of the iPhone

Apple has recently released the iPhone 4S under the leadership of CEO Tim Cook. The 4S is the latest in the series of its cellphone range. It is said to be the latest new development of cellphone technology, incorporating the revolutionary new iOS operating system, the most advanced mobile phone operating system ever, responsible for creating the revolutionary new media user experience that is sealing Apple’s status as the front-runner in the market.

The iPhone 4 S includes all of the basic capabilities of the previous iPhone, the iPhone4, with all of the same apps and software such as iCloud for management of music, photos, videos and documents, for example. There are, however, some major new innovations that have furthered the capabilities of what has come before. One example of this is Siri, the revolutionary new voice command system for operation of the phones utilities. The technology is so advanced that it can not only recognize and understand the words and phrases that are spoken to it, but can also understand the meanings behind human speech and interpret them logically and appropriately in order to perform various and numerous ‘hands-free’ commands.

The iPhone 4S uses the new dual-core A5 chip, which is the fastest processor technology currently available in any of the models on the market. It brings the benefits of increased graphics capabilities with smoother gameplay, app usage, faster speeds and even an increased battery life, this revolutionary new hardware can be considered as responsible for pushing new media to its highest and most effective levels of usability yet. The ‘retina’ HD display that comes as standard with this model provides extremely high definition, which further increases the user experience of applications and the iCloud photo and movie viewing software.

One of the most pronounced product improvements of the iPhone 4S from the predecessor versions is the built in camera/video camera. The innovative new design has allowed the incorporation of an f/2.4 aperture sight. Furthermore, the improved backlight sensor, colour correction software and anti-blur motion sensors provide crystal clear quality and 8 megapixel or 1080p high definition, as much as 160% of the definition that was possible with the iPhone 4.

It is needless to say that with all of the innovative and revolutionary incorporations, this model of the iPhone is truly the most advanced piece of equipment in its market. It is one of the most fully integrated and user-friendly new media technologies available on the mass market and is certainly a forerunner in the field of competition of smart phones with competition such as the Nokia N8-00, the HTC Evo 3D and the Blackberry Bold 9900, for example.

Sony’s latest console coming.

The last few years Sony has been developing its latest multi-console: Playstation Vita (PS Vita or PSV). The console has been released in Japan in the end of last year, but it will come out this month in Europe and the United States.

The PS Vita is an innovative multi-console in the form of a handheld, this means that it almost fits in your pocket, and it will work on a rechargeable internal battery. The multi-console allows you to surf on the internet, play exclusively designed videogames, watch movies, listen to music and make photographs. The multi-console will also have built-in speakers and a built-in microphone, not only that but it will also work via a touchscreen.

Now a touch screen is not that innovative anymore, but Sony developed a touch pad on the backside of the PS Vita, which allows you to control video games next to the classic D-pad and joystick controller. Next to this Sony also made it possible to turn the console within your hands and it will detect your movement. This will allow you to alter the camera within the videogames by simply moving the console.

The PS Vita will be released on the 22^nd of February and will cost around €250.

New Gaming Experience: The Wii U

On the E3, the biggest gaming trade fair in the world, Nintendo has presented the Wii U. The Wii U is the next generation of the Nintendo Wii, which was released in 2005. It comes in the white color as its precursor, but the shape of it has changed. Its shape reminds of the classical NES or a solid white block.

The new paddle shows a variety of new features. Like Nintendo’s main competitors Sony’s Playstation and Mircosoft’s XBox 360 the Wii U also brings HD pictures, which wasn’t a feature of the Nintendo Wii.

But the most eye-catching innovation of the Wii U is the controller. The design reminds of a handheld paddle with a touchscreen in the middle and the buttons and joysticks, which are known from the classical Nintendo Wii controller, on the left and right sides of the screen. So, the gamer has to follow two screens while gaming, like it was already used for the Nintendo DS.

For all gamers, who still like to play their classic Nintendo Wii games, are still able to play these game with the Nintendo Wii U,  because the paddle is compatible to the older versions of Nintendo paddle.

The release date is scheduled in the summer of 2012.
