Silicon Valley legend Steve Jobs resigned as chief executive of Apple Inc in a stunning move that ended his 14-year reign at the technology giant he co-founded in a garage. Then Steve will be chairman and Cook is CEO
Analysts do not expect Jobs’ resignation which had long been foreseen to derail the company’s fabled product-launch roadmap, including possibly a new iPhone in September and a third iteration of the iPad tablet in 2012.
Now, let us see some rumours about new iPhone(All are just guess):
New iPhone will be called as iPhone 5 or the iPhone 4S or others. Its rumours are flying thick and fast – indeed, it’s become somewhat of a storm with the industry convinced that the new handset will make its debut in early September.
iPhone 5 release date
On 20 April 2011, it emerged that the iPhone 5 release date may be September 2011.
On 6 May it was reported that Apple manufacturer Pegatron has reportedly been given a massive order by Jobs and co to produce 15 million handsets ready for the phone’s autumn launch.
Apple Chief Financial Officer Peter said that there is “a lot going on in the fall with iOS 5 and iCloud”.
Price cuts of the iPhone 4 in August also hint at a September release date for new iPhone.
On 15 August Apple reportedly began pushing up the amount of orders for the handset.
On 17 August, the rumour of a September iPhone 5 release date gained more traction.
A white iPhone 5
The Economic Daily News is reporting that white iPhone 5 glass is being shipped, with a supplier called Wintek being the sole touch panel vendor for the white iPhone.
iPhone 5 voice control
Could the iPhone 5 come with a new type of voice control? Know Your Mobile thinks so, Called Assistant, it could be used to play back music, send texts and make Facetime calls.
iPhone 5 screen
On 15 February 2011, Digitimes is reporting on information supposedly leaked from component suppliers that claim the iPhone 5 will feature a larger, 4-inch screen.
On 22 March 2011, China Times also reported that the iPhone 5 will feature a 4-inch display.
On 23 May, rumours from Digitimes said that the iPhone 5 could feature a curved glass screen .
New iPhone actually be an iPhone 4S
Since the iPhone 3G was followed by the 3GS it’s possible the new iPhone won’t be a total refresh and we’ll see an iPhone 4S/4GS) before an iPhone 5.
On 16 May 2011, analyst Peter Misek said: “According to our industry checks, the device should be called iPhone 4S and include minor cosmetic changes, better cameras, A5 dual-core processor, and HSPA+ support.”
A cheaper/smaller iPhone 5
Rumours around an iPhone nano picked up again on 13 February when the Wall Street Journal claimed that the so-called ‘iPhone nano’ exists and may even be on sale later this year.
iPhone 5 will support 1080p HD
It’s fairly likely – given that the iPad 2 supports Full HD – that the new iPhone will do the same. Other sources have also said that the new iPhone could have an 8MP camera. As all version of iPhone supports MP4 formats, so we guess new iPhone will also support MP4 video. if you want to import other formatsvideo to iPhone 5, you can convert all video to MP4 with Video Converter.
Tips: for Mac user, you can use Video Converter for Mac.
iPhone 5 specs
We’d expect the basics of the iPhone 5 specs to get a bump – more memory, faster processor, and more storage. It may come with a new antenna, 1.2GHz processor (possibly dual-core) and a larger screen: 3.7″ instead of 3.5″. The A5 dual-core ARM processor from the iPad 2 is extremely likely to be included.
iPhone 5 price
If the iPhone 5 is an evolutionary step like the move from the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 3GS then we’d expect the price to stay more or less the same.
What do you think about the next iPhone? Welcome to hit the comments and share your thoughts.

The best full HD waterproof pocket camcorders 2011
There are a lot of minicamcorders on the market, but not all of them can withstand a 5-foot drop or a dunk in a pool. And actually, last year you really couldn't find any that could survive those things. This year, though, you can pick models from Kodak, Panasonic, JVC.
Consumer camcorders including 3D and now after testing the waters of the pocket camcorder market with the Panasonic HM-TA20, Kodak PlaySport ZX5, JVC Picsio GC-WP10 , which all of them can withstand a 5-foot drop or a dunk in a pool.
The leaders here are Kodak PlaySport Zx5 and Panasonic HM-TA20. The Panasonic is more expensive than and isn’t as full featured as the PlaySport, but it’s still less than $200 and does just enough. It also seems better designed for keeping water and dust out. However, it has a large 3-inch touch screen that’s destined to be covered in scratches.
Pocket camcorder technology continues to evolve at the same pace as full size camcorders, so with many things the best of something depends on your needs and use and we thought that our categories represent what each one needs and uses. As you well know, there are many different waterproof pocket video camcorders on the market. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, so read this full HD waterproof pocket camcorders 2011 to help you to choose when you are looking through waterproof pocket camcorders.
Top1: Panasonic HM-TA20 with night version
The new Panasonic HM-TA20 waterproof HD pocket camcorder is dustproof, shockproof to 1.5 metres and waterproof to 3 metres with a tough design for active outdoor shooting. Panasonic HM-TA2 pocket camcorder records Full HD 1920×1080 30p video and 8MP stills, and is equipped with Night View mode which lets you shoot with twice the brightness of the previous model HM-TA1. Night View mode automatically detects dark scenes and the mode selector button lights up on the large 3 inch LCD screen which has touch operation.
An electronic image stabilizer is included, a linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) system records sounds that are faithful to the original, and a tripod stand is included. The new Panasonic HM-TA2 pocket camcorder is the cheapest in the new range of Panasonic camcorders and sells for under £150.
Top2: Kodak PlaySport Zx5, The All-Terrain Most Attractive
Shockproof, dustproof and waterproof up to 10 ft, the Kodak PlaySport Zx5 pocket camcorder records Full HD 1080p in MP4 format and 5 MP stills, incredible low-light performance with 1/3.2-type CMOS sensor to 128 MB internal memory + SD/SDHC card slot (up to 32 GB) with a 4X digital zoom.
Digital image stabilization and smart face recognition, auto focus which is good even underwater, on-camera editing, macro mode the ability to focus from 4 inches to infinity with automatic detection or user selectable, even being able to record in macro under water and a mono microphone with speaker.
Top3: JVC Picsio GC-WP10
The JVC GC-WP10 is a waterproof camcorder with some unforgivable design flaws. True, the camcorder did well in our performance tests, but using the WP10 was one of the most frustrating experiences we’ve had with a piece of modern technology. Its touchscreen interface was terrible, as was its thick and clunky design, and the processing power of the camcorder was abysmal. The WP10 would freeze up for a few seconds after you selected any menu option, and the process of simply moving from one menu screen to another took much longer than it should have.
We’re not crazy about the design of the Panasonic HM-TA20 either, but it is definitely better than the JVC GC-WP10. It has a thinner frame and a slightly better grip (although it’s still not good). We also like the touchscreen and interface on the Panasonic quite a bit better—even though both camcorders have some strong flaws. When it comes to waterproof camcorders with touchscreens, it seems both Panasonic and JVC have a long way to go, but Panasonic is at least a bit farther along at this point.
Top4: Panasonic HM-TA1
The Panasonic HM-TA1 was Panasonic’s first foray into the world of ultracompact or Flip-type camcorders. There was a lot we didn’t like about the TA1, but we usually expect a number of faults in a first-generation product. The HM-TA20 isn’t the direct successor to the TA1, as that would be Panasonic’s HM-TA2, but the TA20 is part of the company’s second-wave of ultracompact models (the TA1 and TA2 are not waterproof, thus they are more compact, but have most of the same features of the TA20).
We love the addition of a waterproof camcorder into Panasonic’s repertoire, and there were a few design improvements that helped make the TA20 a less frustrating camcorder than the TA1. The touchscreen interface has its problems, but the overall durability of the TA20 is far better than what we experienced with the TA1. The image quality of the two camcorders isn’t all that much different, and you could even argue the TA1 has a slight edge, but we did find the TA20 to be superior in low light. In the end, the two camcorders are probably even in overall video performance.
Tips: Panasonic HM-TA20, Kodak PlaySport ZX5, JVC GC-WP10 and Panasonic HM-TA1 record full HD video, but if you want to import theses camcorder HD video to iMovie’11, FCE, FCP for further editing, you will need convert HD video to MOV, HD video to MPEG-4 with video converter for mac lion.
If you are on Windows, please refer to video converter.

HTC Sensation 4G vs Samsung Galaxy S2
The Smartphones are getting bigger and better with time. The HTC Sensation and the Samsung Galaxy S2 are coming to the Android market: two Smartphones overflowing with superlatives, high-end specs and consumer appeal. Now, We’ll run through the specs and see who’s the winner of these two powerhouses.
Starting with OS version:
Both HTC sensation and Galaxy S2 are having Android 2.3 Gingerbread Version, which is latest from Google, meant for Smartphones with Powerful Hardware.
Size(Winner-Samsung Galaxy S2):
HTC Sensation 4G has a dimension of 126.1 x 65.4 x 11.3 mm and weighs at 148 g. Samsung Galaxy S2 has a dimension of 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm and weighs at 116 g.
Display( winner-HTC Sensation)
HTC sensation has a 4.3 inch qHD display with 540×960 display resolution. Certainly HTC here has an edge over Galaxy S2 with a better Screen Resolution maintaining the HD standards.
Samsung Galaxy S2 has a 4.27 Super Amoled Display with display resolution of 400×800 pixels, large enough to be a decent smartphone.
Interface(Winner-HTC Sensation)
Both the Sensation and the Galaxy S II are running Android 2.3.3, and both have had an overlay placed on top of Google’s OS by their parents, clearly wanting to stamp their individuality onto their flagship smartphone.
We’ll start by looking at the power under the finger of each device, and we’re presented with a pretty even contest once more – both will react with the utmost speed, which is especially impressive on the HTC Sensation with its 3D Sense 3.0 overlay. HTC Sensation, simply because Sense UI was already great, and just got a little better.
Camera(winner-Samsung Galaxy S2):
Both the smartphones have high quality front and rear camera helping you with clicking pictures, videos and initiate comfortable Video Conference calls.
HTC Sensation: 8MP rear , 1.2MP front
Samsung galaxy S2 : 8MP rear , 2MP front (S2 has a better front Camera )
Power(Winner-Samsung Galaxy S2)
Both of these devices boast a huge amount of horsepower, and their 1.2GHz dual-core CPU’s do a great job of thrashing labour intensive tasks without even breaking sweat, though the Samsung does take the tape first in terms of RAM, with 1GB installed compared to the HTC’s 768MB.
That minor difference may be all that separates these two great devices but it may turn out to be critical as Android and its apps and games become more labour intensive, so don’t write it off as inconsequential.
Software(Winner-HTC Sensation)
As we previously mentioned, both of these super smartphones run on Google’s ubiquitous Android OS (version 2.3.3) but they are fronted by unique custom UI’s which bring new apps, widgets and eye-candy to the table.
The Samsung Galaxy S II, with its TouchWiz 4.0 UI, expands on the natural good looks of Android, and offers some new features like Samsung’s Hubs (for buying content such as eBooks, music and periodicals) as well as pretty tight social networking integration, supporting Twitter, Facebook, MySpace& LinkedIn.
The HTC Sensation, however, comes packed with the next iteration of HTC’s super smooth Sense UI (version 3.0) which, apart from being easy on the eye, offers great social networking integration, new widgets and apps. Samsung has come close with this latest version of TouchWiz, but SenseUI is still streets ahead.
Processors(winner-Samsung Galaxy S2)
HTC Sensation will be powered By 1.2 GHz dual core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon, with Adreno 220 GPU. Now thats Some real Power.
Where as Samsung galaxy S2 will come with two/three variants featuring Exynos 1.2 GHz processor, 1 GHz processor and nVIDIA Tegra 250 1 GHz dual core processors. This is something to lookout for ,if experts are to believed all the variants above mentioned are above par excellence in Mobile processing.
All in all, both androids are great choices, most of the features and such comes down to personal preferences. You can’t go wrong with either choice as they are both superior Smartphones in the market today and definitely the best money can buy! No matter what you choose, HTC sensation or Samsung Galaxy S2, both are powerful Android 2.3 Smartphone, however, there is a great and universal video converter mac which canconvert video to HTC Sensation mac and mac video to Samsung Galaxy S2 for enjoyment your digital life, of course, it can manage to convert HTC Sensation video and Samsung Galaxy S2 video to other popular video format including AVI,WMV, FLV,MPG,MP4,DV,MOV,HDV etc.
