Apple and Samsung doesn't own the Smartphone world

I think a lot of people would agree with me that in the Smartphone world, small Smartphone makers can go head to head with giants like Apple and Samsung. Three years ago it is a different story but today brands like Huawei, ZTE, and HTC are slowly getting a piece of the market. Here in the Philippines brands like Cherry Mobile and Myphone are offering budget phones that could compete in terms of features against the Smartphone giants.

I honestly considered buying one of the Myphone model, A919. Why do you ask? It has a 1 GHz dual core processor, 5 inch screen and an 8 megapixel camera. On top of that you could insert 2 sim cards and use it simultaneously. The price is below Php8,000. That is a good deal with all the features that it has.

 Do get me wrong. I think Apple and Samsung phones are worth it. That is if you could afford them. But for those who can't there are lot of smartphone makers out there that you should consider. 

Nokia use to dominate the cellphone market before the release of Smartphones, They have been trying to win back the piece of the market that they have lost. They have recently release Windows phone in an attempt to gain the trust of their customers, but gaining the lead in market would not be as easy as it use to be especially small company or start up company has joined the smartphone bandwagon. 

Personally I don't think the brand matters. What matters is the features that the Smartphone offers. Some may still give a lot of weight with the brand but why spend all that money if you buy a phone with all the features that you need for less? Well that's just me. What do you think?

Apple Ipad unveiled

Apple CEO Steve Jobs has shown the world its latest contraption in the form of Ipad. I thought that the caption misspelled the name when I first saw the news this afternoon. I thought it was a new type of the Ipod, a music and video player release by Apple.


The Ipad is like a bigger version of Iphone and is smaller than a laptop. It is equipped with a 9.7 inch touch screen, half an inch thick and weighs only 1.5 pounds. Flash memory storage ranges from 16, 32 and 64 gigabytes. It’s quite similar to Amazon.com Inc.’s Kindle with a few additions. The Ipad is outfitted with Wifi and Bluetooth and web surfing browser Safari. It also includes calendar, maps, video and music player. Electronic Arts Inc. creator of famous video is collaborating with Apple in this new project.

Some people are doubtful that the new Ipad will attract consumer who already has Smart Phones and Laptops. Apple has to do a lot of convincing to do. Ipad is expected to be released by March and will cost from $499 to $699, depending on the flash memory storage. While 3g capable iPad models are expected to come on April with prices ranging from $629 to $829 depending on the memory capacity.
