NEW iPhone 4G Release likely around June 24 2010

Verizon Wireless is currently testing a CDMA version of the iPhone 4G and Verizon confirms they are making network changes to bring the iphone to their network. The new iPhone 4g is going to be loaded with awesome new features like video chat, multi-tasking and extreme downloading. (List of possible features below). Just when you think there is nothing else to come up with, more and more and more technology comes out. And it is on the rise, and not just at Apple, Inc!
This iPhone 4g could also have dual core processors and higher and powerful graphic chips that can deliver higher video resolutions and better "still" images when taking pictures.
There are a few networks working on building a 4G network. T-mobile would be a likely carrier since they are GSM already. Sprint has a 4G network already... AT&T and Verizon Wireless are in the beginning stages. There are talks of Verizon Wireless getting iPhone sometime in 2010 since the exclusive contract with AT&T expires, but it could be renewed until 2012.
Whether or not it will be 4G will be up to them!... can they build in time? Regardless, there is much anticipation on how many people will leave AT&T for Verizon Wireless because of AT&T's lagging on app restrictions like Slingplayer and Google Voice and Skype (on #g network, not Wi-Fi).
AT&T's restrictions have caused the percentage of people that are JailBreaking their iPhones to rise since Jail Breaking usually comes with Cydia which is the app store for jail broken phones. Most of the applications, ringtones, and even iphone themes!...are free with Cydia. Winterboard is part of the download, and it very easily add's the changes to your phone so you dont have to figure how to do it on your own...it is VERY automated.
The Palm Pre on Sprint and HTC EVO (Sprint now offering a 4G network) has made an attempt at being competitive with iPhone and Blackberry...and it seems they are making head way.
iPhone 4G looks promising in terms of being sleek, packed with new hardware and multi-tasking software. Very exciting.
A few features of iPhone 4G:
Thinner! With shiny glass back piece - 9.3 mm thick.
Unified Mailbox (all email accounts in one area).
Application folders.
New wallpaper/background options.
A new, sleeker body design.
OLED screen.
Multi-Tasking. (use multiple functions at once without going in and out of apps).
iChat camera (on the front so you can have video chat!!!).
32G (basic) and 64G of memory. You're sure to never run out.
Extended battery life!!!
Hi Definition Camera (5 megapixel) with a backside illuminated sensor AND FLASH!
Hi Definition Camcorder.
Hi Definition audio.
Messaging light.
True GPS built in.
Introduction to iPhone 4
iPhone 4 - HD
Apple has no option but to leap ahead of the competition once again this summer, where it is expected to be launching its 4th generation iPhone. Steve Jobs has reportedly confirmed an "A+ update" for iPhone, and that "Apple will deliver aggressive updates to iPhone that Android/Google won’t be able to keep up with". But what should we all expect from the new device? Some speculations and expectations from the new device are in the ensuing paragraphs.
As far as the name is concerned, it will mostly likely going to be called something on the lines of iPhone 4, or iPhone HD as Engadget found out a few days ago. It is expected to ship with a major new iPhone OS update – the iPhone 4.0 firmware. John Gruber of Daring Fireball the other day hinted at a possible 960×640 display, which is higher than the best of the best Android phones like Nexus One and EVO 4G, or even the WinMo based HD2 – which features a 800×400 resolution screen. Some other facts which are making the rounds for the said device are listed as follows.
* Apple A4 CPU like iPad
* A Front-facing camera for video conferencing
* To be released on June 7 at WWDC
* Multitasking for third party apps
* Coming to Verizon and AT&T
Apart from these specs, another important aspect will be the form factor for the new iPhone. Yes, iPhone is still one of the most sexy gadgets to have but come on, the look and feel is now getting old and is need of a change. It’s been three years now that we have had hold almost the same looking device. The original iPhone (EDGE) had rugged metallic back and therefore was heavy, where as later on, iPhone 3G/3GS series were lighter as it had plastic back. While the use of plastics was practical in terms of signal strength, but for some, it gave a cheap look and feel in the hand. Looking at the popularity of unibody Aluminum enclosure of MacBook Pro, it will be only wise for Apple now to introduce an aluminum unibody makeover for the next-gen iPhone 4 as well. This will give it a unique look in comparison to its competitors today, just like how different MacBook Pros are in the PC market. This unibody enclosure concept for the iPhone can be seen in the image attached above.
Motorola Android Phone with Feature 2-GHz Processor
During an event at Chicago, Sanjay Jha – The CEO of Motorola said that if our company manages to come up with this device at the right time, users could have twice as much the processing power and we’d me making tons of money!
Well, just disregard that making money part, I just added it to emphasize the gentility of the situation and of course we know that any company with a 2GHz processor could really mean business. Anyways, with a 2GHz processor, you can expect a new mode of gaming, multitasking, smoother video chat and high quality graphics. And all of this running on the Android OS? Now that’s really awesome.
Most of the latest smartphones are currently running on a 1GHz processor and as much as it breaks my heart to admit, even Evo 4G is from the 1GHz category. However, the maximum any company has ever been close to developing a 1GHz+ processor, is Qualcomm. This company is likely to go beyond the 1Ghz landmark, through the release of a dual core ARM Cortex A9 processor, which would be settling somewhere at 1.2 to 1.5 GHz.

HTC DOPOD U1000
Design and Looks
The design of the phone resembles a mini tablet and which is highlighted by the huge 5 inch screen on the device. The display is capable of 640x480 VGA resolution. The device stands at 98x133.5x16.8 millimeters weighing 359 grams. The screen can also display about 192 dpi and gives a great color output.

The keyboard on the phone is magnetically connected to the screen and is unique in its form factor. The keyboard features large keys and are equally spaced with their layout. The keys lack the tactile feel though. The keys for some reason are arranged in different order compared to a normal keyboard with 123 on top of 456 and 789 below 456.
This requires time to get used to as the fingers would normally be adjusted to the standard layout. There is support for all special characters and as well as the accented characters. There is no backlight onthe keyboard but to some extent the 5 inch screen display’s brightness is enough to light out the keyboard area.
The dimension of the keyboard stands out 4mm to 16 inches making it difficult to carry out around. With its functionality to detach it from the screen makes a great feature to leavethe keyboard behind and use the screen just as a tablet.
The phone feature on the DOPOD U1000 is not at all great if you’re looking to use it directly as a phone. It’s a data device first and phone next therefore having a Bluetooth headset is must which eliminates all possibilities of hiccups with the phone functionality on the device. The phone on theDOPOD U1000 is capable of GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA device with 3.5G capabilities making it usable around the world. The signal strength is excellent on the device and does not lack any reception issues. A smart feature is also included on the phone which makes it easy for calling.
On the multimedia front the HTC DOPOD U1000 comes along with a 3 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash light. There is also a front VGA camera which could be solely used for video conference.
The camera performs good enough for a mini tablet and gives it a nice add on feature. There is also GPS on board which is a treat to use. The Google Maps as a software is a pleasure to use on the 5 inch screen and gives a wealth of data in-front of the user.
The internet experience is again nicely built with IE6 and Opera onboard. They are able to flash based and other media rich sites without a problem and get easily adjusted with the size.
The music player and the video player are supported by the Windows Media player which is a standard player on the device and can only play default formats. For other formats one can use the TCPMP player which does almost all formats and is able to give more functionality to you rather than the basic Windows player.
Overall the HTC DOPOD U1000 with its huge feature list provides a decent battery and appeals to only users who would want the functionality of a tablet pc with an added phone.
Features & Specification of Dopod Mobile U1000

Tips to Make Money Online With Facebook
Another way to make money online with Facebook is by showing online ads. There are different affiliate marketing programs which you can use through this method. You can do it the paid way or the free way. Facebook has its own advertising specifications wherein you can set parameters for posting your ads. It helps you automatically target your audience so you can create ads that show up on their pages. But you will need to fix a budget for this because Facebook earns from the affiliate marketing parameters you set.
You can also make money online with Facebook by writing relevant eBooks. Not all people may be as Facebook savvy as you, and not all of these people would take the time to actually read the guidelines offered through Facebook. Most of the time, they’d rather read what’s easily available and not something that they still had to skim through a page. As an added bonus, you can also give them ideas and tidbits on how they, too, can make money online with Facebook. You can help guide them through the process of setting up ads, to name a few. You can also set up a blog and post about things happening in Facebook, then earn money through the ads you will put up on your blog site.
Reality About Hosting Unlimited Bandwidth
Nowadays, most of the providers will advertise hosting unlimited bandwidth but that does not really mean what the words seem to imply. As you know, bandwidth is the amount of data transfer that takes place in a month. When a person is exploring your site he or she is basically transferring files on to his / her pc. How much data transmitted will depend on the type of data available on the site. If you have audio and video files the amount can be quite large.
You can obtain a rough idea of the bandwidth you must have by calculating the size of your average web page and multiplying it with the quantity of visitors you are likely to get in a month. Assume that your main page happens to be 50 kb and in a thirty day period you are likely to generate 1500 visitors, then your bandwidth would end up being seventy five mbs.
Hosting companies have a lot of sites and they hope to properly share the bandwidth of their servers among these websites. They assume that each website will not utilize a large amount of bandwidth and therefore feel risk-free to claim that they provide unlimited bandwidth, although in reality there is no such thing.
When you want to select a web hosting package, it is advisable to clarify with the provider how much bandwidth is actually available for you. Usually when you checked out the fine print of the agreement you will see that they have described a certain amount of bandwidth which will be obtainable to your account.
Typically the majority of the quality hosting companies provide a monthly bandwidth as high as twenty gb. Now this really is more than adequate for a standard site which can expect to have even a thousand visitors a day.
Though hosting unlimited bandwidth can be described as a fantasy, it makes good sense to get such plans after you have checked how much the company is truly giving you. But remember that the word "unlimited" is an attention-grabber to attract you. Your host has to have a good reputation and additionally should be able to professionally answer to all your queries about bandwidth. This would give you a good idea of the hosting company so that you can opt for a correct service.

Benefits of Social Bookmarking
Social Bookmarking Can Help Your Site Get Indexed
Social bookmarking is a great way to get your site indexed in the search engine. Submitting URL to the search engines will not get your site indexed. In order to get the site indexed, the search engine spider will have to rely on the links from other sites that are pointing to you.
Since new sites are not established, they will need other site cast vote for them. When the search engine saw that someone cast a vote for your site, it will be more willing to index the pages of the site in the search engine. Sites with few pages usually can get indexed within 1 day after submitting them to social bookmarking sites. If it is a large site with thousands of pages, it will be harder to get all them indexed. For large site, it must have high page rank and exist on the internet for several months before the search engine will consider indexing all the pages. If the site has a back link from an important site, it will also get indexed faster.
Users should not attempt to bookmark too many pages in one day. Typically, you should bookmark 1 – 3 pages per day. If you submit too many URLs to the site, there is a high possibility that your account will shut down. If you repetitively submit a lot of pages after the first warning, your IP address may get banned so that you cannot access the site anymore in the future. Submitting too many pages will cause other people’s bookmarks to be pushed to the back of the search result. It makes it hard for reader to browse the social bookmarking site.
You don’t have to submit all the pages in your site in order to get them indexed. You simply have to submit the homepage and a few URLs from the site. Besides submitting pages from your site, you can also submit links to interesting articles. If you consistently use the account to social bookmark pages from one site, it will look suspicious. Since social bookmarking sites are developed for users to share news, self promotion is strictly prohibited. By submitting other news, you will make it appear more natural and lower the risk of getting banned.
Social bookmarking is suitable in getting new sites indexed because the sites frequently update their database. Search engine are always on the lookout for fresh content. Due to this fact, the search engine spider regularly visits and crawl social bookmarking sites in hope to find fresh content to include in the index.
When submitting a URL, make sure you select the right category. If you submit to a wrong category, it will become unnoticed. For example, if you are submitting an article from pet site, you should submit to the Pet category. If you submit the pet article to a technology category, nobody will be interested in reading the article since they are only looking for technology news.
Besides submitting stories, you can participate in the community through commenting on other people’s post, and join in discussion. Once you join in the discussion, people will get to know you and your popularity will increase in the social bookmarking site. If you are popular, many people will vote for your stories.
Social Bookmarking Can Increase Backlinks to Your Site
Most social bookmarking sites have high page rank. Submitting the articles to the sites will offer a free quality backlink to your site. Before submitting, you can check if it is a dofollow or nofollow social bookmarking sites. To see if the site is dofollow or nofollow, you should right click on the URL of submitted post which point to your site. If it states dofollow or same window, it means that it is a dofollow site. If it states nofollow or external nofollow, it indicates the site is nofollow. Nofollow link will not be crawled by the search engine. Site such as del.icio.us is nofollow but they can be used to drive a large amount of targeted traffic
to your site since it is a popular site.
Social Bookmarking in Internet Marketing
The link count determines the value of the website property. If you have more links, you will rank on higher position in the search engine. Having lots of backlinks will help you to rank for the aimed keyword and increase online sales and profit. Social bookmarking is one way which enable you to attain success in the online business. Since social bookmarking link point directly to your site, you will be able to drive traffic to the page. Popular social bookmarking sites are good places to conduct online marketing campaigns.
There are hundreds of social bookmarking services but you should only focus on the major sites since they can help you to get your site publicize to a large portion of the world’s reader. Sites such as Digg and Stumbleupon are used as the primary marketing tool by internet marketers. If you want to build a productive marketing through these sites, you must understand how the bookmarking services are being carried out.
How To Estimate The Value Of Your Website ?
Number of factors need to be taken into consideration when you try to establish the value of your website. Here are some important factors that go into your website’s value consideration.
One of the most important factors that needs to be considered is the number of visitors per day. If your website gets highest visitor traffic or if the daily visits per day is high, then the value of your website will be proportionately high. You may have invested thousands of dollars in creating a graphically stunning website but if its traffic level is very low, you cannot expect a high value for your website.
Secondly, the number of backlinks you have also matters a great deal. If you have been constantly working your website’s link building and acquired a lot of back links then your website’s online popularity will be high and so will be your website’s value.
Thirdly, your website’s Google PageRank is of another major factor for consideration. Google which is plays monopoly in the search industry ranks websites using its own trademark ranking algorithm called PageRank. Webmasters lose their night’s sleep on increasing their website’s page rank. It is not without reason that the entire SEO industry tries to spend so much of money and time on improving their page rank. The higher the PageRank, the greater the value of your website. Website’s with good PageRank tend to rank better in the search result’s page.
Yet another factor that is important is your website’s Alexa rank. Alexa ranks websites based on the number of page views or visitors a website receives. Websites with many years of history are more valuable than brand new sites. Added to this, your domain name has also a decisive role to play in establishing your website’s value. If you have a premium domain, then your website will be worth several thousand dollars.
If you think it is too much for you to handle, you can hire a professional company that will estimate the value of your website and provide you with a detailed report. However, you will have to pay huge fees to get your website’s value estimated. Alternatively, you can use Realwebsiteworth.com to get a free estimation of your website’s worth. This is an absolutely free service that will help you get a highly realistic value of your website.

Internet cloud is future: Microsoft
"Cloud computing represents the next frontier," Ballmer said at an annual gathering of corporate chief executives at Microsoft's campus in Redmond, Washington.
"We've been betting or investing in the cloud for about ten years and in earnest for about six or seven years."
Cloud computing gained momentum during the economic downturn as people and businesses saved money by using applications hosted online instead of buying, installing and maintaining software on their own machines.
"There is incredible opportunity in the cloud," Ballmer said.

Quick Ways to Improve Your Adsense Earnings
1) Increase flow of traffic – Like any other online venture the best way to ensure revenue is to find a way to make the webpage seen by people. More the number of people clicks on the advertisements or visits the links the higher are one’s Adsense earnings. So ensuring the webpage is popular and much viewed is necessary and the most relevant point.
2) Planning the layout – A little carefully planned layout can help to generate more revenues. Google Adsense allows three advertisement sections in every page with four advertisements in each of the sections individually. The amount of revenue that an advert generates is determined by its place in the page. For example the company whose advertisement comes at the top most section among them the one taking the left most position pays the highest.
The rate drops significantly as it is placed lower down the sections. So a carefully thought out layout that does not cram up adverts in a single page but spreads them over a number of pages can help increase the earning by effectively placing more advertisements in the higher paying sections. The same number of ads laid out properly earns more revenue. Hence a ploy like displaying two instead of three sections per page and ensuring they are spread in a viewable manner around the content increases the chance of revenue by far.
3) Blending it in – if one can blend the ad in as a part of the content it can generate a higher click through ratios. For this the back ground colors of the ads have to be the same as the back ground color of the surrounding part of the page and the color of the text which is the title for the ad matches the color of the other hyperlinks in the page. Such meticulous formatting can effectively get more people to view the ad and hence generate higher income.
4) Selecting higher paying keywords – a lot of Adsense publishers focuses their content to incorporate higher paying keywords. Normally a keyword earns only a few cents per click. It is possible however to key ones that will generate 20 to 30 times over. But the relevant topics are relatively rare and highly competitive. A lot of advertisers avoid placing these kinds of bids and keep them reserved mostly for search networks. This however does not imply a change in the overall niche but it is rather about selecting more profitable keywords within the same one.
5) Adding more good quality content - If the content in a page is useful and the ads placed are relevant to the topic of the content then there is a higher chance of getting more clicks on them b the visitors.
These easy to incorporate methods can help to significantly increase the earnings from Adsense.
Advanced email marketing - email marketing mistakes.
Examples of these types of mistakes may include allowing promotional materials to be tagged as spam, not following up with promotional emails, not being prepared for an influx of customers after an email marketing effort and not marketing specifically to the target audience.
We will begin our discussion on email marketing mistakes with spam. Spam is a problem which is reaching endemic proportions. Each day Internet users are bombarded with spam from around the world. This may include a host of unsolicited emails which are promoting products or services the recipients may or may not be interested in purchasing. A critical mistake business owners can make in email marketing is to issue emails which are likely to be construed to be spam. This may result in the emails never reaching the recipient or the emails being deleted, without being read, by the recipient. Avoiding the potential of falling into the spam category is not very difficult. It basically involves ensuring your promotional emails contain more useful copy than blatant advertising. This will make it more likely for your emails to be taken seriously.
Another email marketing mistake often made is failure to follow up on promotional emails. Sending out emails to interested parties can be very beneficial but it is even more beneficial to contact these email recipients by other methods such as mail or telephone to answer any questions they may have and offer any additional information they may require. This type of follow up can be much more effective than simply sending an email and allowing it to fall into the abyss of an overcrowded email inbox.
Business owners may also run into the mistake of not preparing themselves for an influx of customers after an email marketing effort. The express purpose of email marketing is to generate increased interest in your products or services. Therefore it is critical for business owners to anticipate an increase in business and be prepared to accommodate this increased demand for products and services. This is important because potential customers who have to wait for products or services may seek out your competitors who are better prepared to provide them with products or services immediately.
Finally a critical mistake made by business owners is to not tailor an email marketing campaign to their specific target audience. This can be a problem because it may result in the email marketing being less effective. Business owners typically make this mistake because they fall into the trap of believing that it is more important to reach a large audience than it is to reach a target audience. You may blindly send your email marketing materials to millions of recipients and only generate a few leads. However, you could send the same email marketing materials to a smaller group of only a thousand recipients who all have an interest in your products and services and will likely generate more leads from this smaller email distribution list. It is not only important to send your message to members of your target audience but to also tailor your message to suit this audience. Creating an email message which will appeal to a variety of individuals is not as important as creating a message which will appeal to members of your target audience.
