Steve Jobs Resigns, what does that mean to iPhone 5?

James Lin — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 23:46:04 +0000

I think the iPhone 5 is going to be epic, because it’s the only way to make the next CEO as awesome as Steve Jobs. Mark my words!

Google owns Motorola, what does it mean to everyone?

James Lin — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 05:28:50 +0000

By now we all know that Google has acquired Motorola Mobility, so you must wonder what will happen ?

Google

Google now has full control on how the phones should be designed and manufactured to slimline the software+hardware integration. So the Android experience will get better in a faster pace, sooner than you would’ve thought.

HTC

Since Motorola most likely going to produce better Android phones (you don’t think so?), who is going to buy the HTC Android phones? The only option for HTC to survive is to focus on Windows phones, which leads to Nokia I am going to talk about

Nokia

So if HTC is going to focus on Windows phone, then Nokia will face a very competitive competitor, given HTC has been producing Windows phones since Jesus was born. I haven’t really played with Windows phone yet, so I am not going to comment on that, but I am sure I won’t be getting a Windows phone in a while.

Microsoft

So, Apple & Google now have their phone factories, Microsoft seems to be a bit disadvantaged, so guess what, Microsoft will most likely to get its own too… hmmm Nokia or HTC or RIM?

Apple

Well, Apple certainly has a stronger enemy now, both in technological war and patent war.

Consumers

No doubt, we will get better Android experience, on new Motorola smartphones, just like the iPhone, and any competition will always benefits the consumers.

iPhone 5 has quad core and iPhone 4s has dual core?

James Lin — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 04:11:27 +0000

After seeing the this news: ASUS’ next gen Eee Pad Transformer to pack NVIDIA’s quad-core Kal-El, launch this October?

I am pretty certain that in order for iPhone to stay at the technological edge, the iPhone 5 should has a quad core CPU and iPhone 4s has a dual core CPU.

The question is when they will be released.
