John Lennon  In Memoriam   Died: December 8, 1980

Það eru liðin 33 ár frá falli John Lennon.  

Seint í gær 5.12. 2013 hóf Apple að uppfæra iPhone 5, 5S og 5C síma með styllingum fyrir LTE (4G) hjá Nova.

Eftir uppfærslu sem tekur örfáar sekúndur virkar síminn á 4G. Hægt er að uppfæra símann með því að tengja hann við iTunes. Uppsetningin er einföld og hraðinn sambærilegur við aðra 4G síma; t.d. hjá Vodafone eða Símanum.

Segja má að iPhone snjallssími verði betri og betri valkostur fyrir íslenska neytendur eftir því sem tíminn líður. Verðið er samkeppnisfært.

Samsung new mini version of Galaxy S4 handset

PUBLISHED:  27 May 2013 

Samsung accidentally reveals new mini version of Galaxy S4 handset on its OWN website

The firm made the gaffe on its own website – showing the unannounced handset as an option in an online app store.

The handset is expected to be announced in July, and have a 4.3inch screen to counter claims the Galaxy S4, which has a five inch screen, is too big.

However, the firm has since removed the listing, and refused to comment on it.

Earlier this month anonymous Weibo user ‘PunkPanda,’ who has leaked photos of unreleased devices in the past, posted pictures of what is claimed to be Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S4 mini.

The pictures show a handset with a 4.3inch screen next to a full-size Galaxy S4. 

It is believed Samsung has developed the handset after claims the ‘full size’ S4, with a 5inch screen, was too large.

The firm has previously created mini versions of its handsets.

It comes after Samsung came under fire after it Galaxy S4 buyers are getting much less storage than they pay for because the device is sold full of ‘bloatware’. 

Another leaked shot of the Galaxy S4 mini, which according to Samsung's own website, will be available in two versionsAnother leaked shot of the Galaxy S4 mini, which according to Samsung’s own website, will be available in two versions

 

Bloatware includes apps and files that are added to handsets by the manufacturers and networks before they are sold to customers.

The S4, which costs around £550 SIM-free, is advertised as having 16GB of internal storage, yet because or these preinstalled apps, operating system files and network features, this is almost halved to 8.8GB.

How Samsung´s Galaxy S 4 Compares With : iPhone 5 from Apple

The year is Samsung 2013

By Matthew Lynley

Samsung Electronics Co.
Samsung’s new Galaxy S 4 phone is due to launch globally at the end of April.

Samsung finally pulled the curtains back on the Galaxy S 4, its next flagship Android smartphone, at an event in New York today.

In addition to bumping up the size of the screen from 4.8 inches to 5 inches, the guts of the device also received a significant boost — putting it ahead of the major competition in many technical aspects.

Granted, we haven’t seen the Apple‘s AAPL +0.96% next iPhone model for 2013, but for the time being the specifications of the Galaxy S 4 are a significant upgrade.

In addition, the device also sports some new software features not seen in the competition, like the ability to interact with the phone using eye movement and hand gestures without touching it.

The Galaxy S 4 will be available late April on most major U.S. carriers, and will run the most recent version of Google‘s GOOG -0.46% Android operating system, called Jelly Bean.

In the meantime, here are how the specs compare with its predecessor and the iPhone 5:

Visa & Samsung Team Up on Mobile Payments

The year is Samsung 2013

Visa & Samsung Team Up on Mobile Payments

Samsung Galaxy S III (U.S. Cellular)

Visa and Samsung today announced an alliance aimed at accelerating global mobile payments.

The deal, which combines Visa’s payment expertise and Samsung’s mobile technology, will allow financial institutions to use the Visa Mobile Provisioning Service to securely download payment account information to NFC-enabled Samsung devices.

Additionally, the Visa payWave applet will be loaded onto Samsung devices featuring Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, turning the smartphones into contactless payment options.

“Samsung devices enabled with Visa payment functionality will no doubt be a powerful product offering — especially in markets where paying with a mobile device is becoming commonplace,” Jim McCarthy, Visa’s global head of product, said in a statement. “However, the key to making mobile payments broadly available all over the world is to offer financial institutions a secure way to provision millions of smartphones with payment account information … and that is exactly what Visa and Samsung are ready to deliver.”

The two companies have worked on mobile payments before. They partneredin May 2012for a limited-edition Galaxy S III smartphone for athletes and trialists competing in the summer’s Olympic games. The specialized phones came with Visa’s payWave technology for users to wave their device at the register to check out at participating London retailers.

The technology was introduced only three months earlier, when Visa inked a deal with Oberthur Technologies to bring payWave to mobile phones.

According to TechCrunch, the Galaxy S IV will be the first phone to include the Visa technology. Samsung plans to unveil the device at a New York City press event on March 14.

Dr. Wom-Pyo Hong, president of Media Solution Center at Samsung, called Visa a pioneer in NFC devices, adding that the phone maker is again leading the way for NFC-based mobile payments.

“The partnership with Visa represents a step towards a global mobile payment platform,” Hong said in a statement. “We believe that we have a strong value proposition for financial institutions that will ultimately allow consumer choice in NFC payments.”

NFC has yet to really pick up steam in the U.S., though ABI Research expects 1.95 billion NFC-enabled devices to ship in 2017.

Visa is demonstrating its payWave feature and Mobile Provisioning Service during this week’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 The World’s Largest Smartphone :

The year is Samsung 2013

PHABLETS 4 EVER

Samsung just unveiled the world’s largest smartphone :

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8

By Christopher Mims

It’s a move dusted with mad genius: Why not release a phone so gigantic that many people can’t even hold it up to their ear without using two hands? That’s Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8, which was just unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The Note 8 is either the world’s largest phablet or an 8-inch tablet that just happens to be able to make calls.

Samsung seems to recognize that the logic of this device might not compute in the US, where the Note 8 will be released in a WiFi-only version that can’t be used as a phone. Stateside, this version is aimed directly at Apple’s 7.9″ iPad Mini, which has been a breakout hit for Apple.

But in the rest of the world, Samsung’s comically huge phone makes sense. As I’veoutlined before, for consumers in emerging markets with limited budgets, it doesn’t make sense to spend money upgrading two separate devices—a phone and a tablet—when a phablet is a good-enough solution to both needs.

What’s more, as improbable as it might sound given how absurd people will lookwhile making calls on the Note 8, giant screens have become status objects unto themselves. One recent survey by T-Mobile indicated that 77% of consumers would prefer smartphones with screens larger than the one found on the iPhone 5. In a world in which staring at our phones has become a global pastime, some consumers like having the biggest, flashiest “phone” in the room.

Samsung has announced a fourth-quarter profit for 2012 double what it was the year before, capping a record year for the company. The Korean technology giant made 20 trillion won ($18.8 billion) in profits in 2012 and 8.8 trillion won ($8.3 billion) in the fourth quarter alone. Revenue was boosted in part by record sales for Samsung’s high-end smart phones. The company launched 37 models in 2012, and its flagship, the Galaxy S III, sold 30 million units.

Analysts from Nomura and Macquarie Securities are projecting that Samsung’s stock will rise 40%-50% in 2013, on the back of a 35% increase in smartphone sales, to a mind-boggling 290 million units. Apple, by contrast, is expected to sell 180 million.

Samsung’s move into mobile devices seems especially savvy given stagnating sales of other consumer-electronics goods, such as televisions, where it faces stiff competition from cheaper Chinese rivals. Giants in mainland China like Huawei and Hisense, which made its stateside debut at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, are eager to take market share from Samsung, moving up from contract manufacturing to high-end branded products—which is exactly how Samsung became so successful.

However, it’s not all about mobile. Samsung is also projecting that it will becomethe biggest supplier of home appliances (like refrigerators and washing machines) by 2015.

Despite all this, Samsung is still not the most profitable technology company on Earth. Apple will retain that title through 2013, out-earning Samsung despite selling fewer phones and making none of the other products in which Samsung dominates, like chips and displays.

That difference in profitability reflects, in part, that fact that Samsung started out making parts and got into branded goods only later. The company’s diverse portfolio buffers it against the success or failure of any one product, but it also means that Samsung competes in increasingly commoditized products with manufacturers throughout mainland China and Taiwan.

They might out-compete it eventually. But for now Samsung can boast of being the largest vertically integrated technology company on the planet. It enjoys both healthy margins for its high-end products and huge volumes for its basic goods. Success across this spectrum should bolster the company’s fortunes through 2013, at least.
