Official iPhone 5 TraileriPhone 5 by Apple The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone. Creating an entirely new design meant inventing entirely new technology When we envisioned the new iPhone, we landed on a remarkably thin and light design. But it's nearly impossible to make a device so thin and so light without sacrificing features or performance. We could have taken the easy way out and designed something more reasonable and less remarkable. But we didn't. If the technology didn't exist, we invented it. If a component wasn't small enough, we re-imagined it. If convention was standing in the way, we left it behind. The result is iPhone 5: the thinnest, lightest, fastest iPhone ever. iPhone 5 is just 7.6 millimeters thin. To make that happen, Apple engineers had to think small, component by component. They created a nano-SIM card, which is 44 percent smaller than a micro-SIM. They also developed a unique cellular solution for iPhone 5. The conventional a pproach to building LTE into a world phone uses two chips â€" one for voice, one for data. On iPhone 5, both are on a single chip. The intelligent, reversible Lightning connector is 80 percent smaller than the 30-pin connector. The 8MP iSight camera has even more features â€" like panorama and dynamic low-light mode â€" yet it's 20 percent smaller. And the new A6 chip is up to 2x faster than the A5 chip but 22 percent smaller. Even with so much inside, iPhone 5 is 20 percent lighter and 18 percent thinner than iPhone 4S. It`s our thinnest ...
Monetization makes you do crazy things, and none perhaps so crazy as Facebook encouraging users to promote their own lives so as to make them stand out among their friends. The promoted posts trials allowing individuals to highlight particular updates for a fee is one of the odder transitions from business Facebook use to personal users; meanwhile, founder Mark Zuckerberg tells BusinessWeek he’s “optimistic†about mobile monetization, but falls short of actually outlining Facebook’s plans to squeeze cash out of the 600m mobile users.
Asked about where the next big jump in user figures will come from, Zuckerberg highlights mobile for its massive growth. “The big thing is obviously going to be mobile. There are 5 billion people in the world who have phones, and a billion people using Facebook†the social CEO said. “There are actually already 600 million people using Facebook on phones, so that’s growing really quickly. And as more phones become smartphones, it’s just this massive opportunity.â€
Exactly how Facebook plans to take advantage of that opportunity, however, is unclear. It’s not a new problem, either; worried whispers around Facebook’s mobile users not pulling their weight in terms of site income were circulating prior to the company’s IPO, and Zuckerberg himself fingered the gap in strategy in interviews last week.
“There are a lot of different bets that we’re making. A lot of it over the next few years is going to come down to mobile. There is this funnel that I think is pretty clear and in our favor, which is there are going to be more people using mobile devices. There are already 5 billion so that’s where the user growth is going to come from. We already know that people who use Facebook on mobile use it more, spend more time on it†Mark Zuckerberg
One possible area of development could be the overlap between commerce and mobile use. Research has already shown the growth of mobile devices among users comparing purchases, even if they still often return to their desktop in order to complete the transaction. Zuckerberg hints that there’s potential in “what services can get built now that every company can assume they can get access to knowing who everyone’s friends are†and predicts “there’s about to be a big push in commerce,†perhaps a lucrative one if Facebook can leverage its mobile users and take a cut from any shopping virtual spree they go on.
“Over the long term I also think we’re going to make more money per amount of time that people are spending on mobile, because it has this focus as a device. It’s more like TV, where you’re doing one thing at a time†Zuckerberg concludes. “The advertising and monetizing has to be integrated in, whereas on desktop we kind of reached this equilibrium where there’s the content and then the ads off to the side of it. So I’m really optimistic about that.â€
The first step toward such integration is Facebook Gifts, allowing users to buy their friends real-world gifts even if they don’t know their address, clothes size, or other personal preferences.

AT&T (T) is set to be the first U.S. to sell Nokia Corp.'s (NOK) latest Windows-running Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 smartphones, two people familiar with the launch plans said.
An announcement is expected later on Thursday.
It may be crucial for loss-making Nokia. The Espoo, Finland-based company had 1.3% of the U.S. phone market in the second quarter, according to an estimate by International Data Corporation. That's down from a 19.7% peak in the first quarter of 2006.
Nokia Chief Executive Stephen Elop unveiled the phones in New York last month. The new devices come with Nokia's Navteq mapping service built-in and feature wireless changing ability. The Lumia 920 also sports a camera with image stabilization technology, which Nokia claims will minimize blurry photos.
The company was criticized at the time for not giving enough detail on pricing and availability. Last week, operators in some European markets announced pricing for the new smartphones and some analysts said the price tag was high.
AT&T made a huge marketing splash with Nokia's previous flagship device, the Lumia 900, when it started selling in the U.S. in March.
Despite that, Nokia lagged behind the competition. It sold 4 million Lumia devices in the second quarter globally, according to the company. It compares with Apple Inc.'s sales of 26 million iPhones. Samsung recently said sales of its Android-powered Galaxy S III hit 20 million units since arriving in May.
Nokia lost ground to competitors in the U.S. after it misjudged consumer appetite for more sophisticated and capable smartphones. Just as the iPhone upended the market in 2007, Nokia shifted its operational focus from smartphones back to basic phones.
Nokia's reported a loss per share of 38 euro cents for the second quarter, compared with a 10-cent loss in the same period of 2011.

Users of the Google Maps Web app can now tap into Street View to explore their destination via a 360-degree perspective.
October 4, 2012 5:40 AM PDT
Times Square as seen by Google Maps Street View.
(Credit: Screenshot by Lance Whitney/CNET )Google has revved up its mobile Maps Web app through the addition of Street View.
As of today, users who launch Google's Maps site on their mobile device can see and navigate a Street View angle of different spots around the world.
Enabling Street View requires just a simple tap.
After launching the Maps app, enter the city, landmark, or other destination that you want to see. The site highlights the location and its surrounding area. Tap on the person icon that appears in the lower right corner. If the location is Street View-enabled, a separate tab opens in your browser with the familiar Street View panorama.
You can swipe your finger left or right to move the full 360 degrees. You can also tap on the arrows to walk along the streets and sidewalks as you check out the people and places nearby. I searched for Times Square in New York City, which Google Maps quickly found. Tapping on the person icon displayed the Street View panorama of Times Square in all its glory.
The addition of Street View comes as little surprise since Google was expected to integrate the feature starting today.
But it comes as good news for iOS users in particular.
Though anyone can hop onto the Maps site via their mobile browser, iOS 6 users need a good alternative to Apple's buggy Maps app. Apologizing for its Maps app snafu, Apple itself has even suggested that iOS 6 users rely on other navigation apps for now.
Adding Google Maps to your iPhone or iPad is a quick, easy process.
Just surf to the Google Maps page on your mobile device. Tap on the Send button at the top toolbar of your browser. Click on the icon to Add to Home Screen. An icon for Google Maps then appears on the screen, which you can drag to another screen or to a specific folder if you wish.

Question by guoninga: I want to buy a phone with my next-month salary. Can I say "If I get the money, I will buy a phone."? there is a real possibility that i will buy the phone, is this sentence right? i mean is it necesary to say "if i got the money i would buy a phone."which one is mroe idiomatic? Please explain, thanks. Best answer for I want to buy a phone with my next-month salary. Can I say "If I get the money, I will buy a phone."?:
Answer by odzookers
Here it's a matter of plain meaning and word choice, not idiom as such. First, you know you'll be paid next month, so the purchase will be contingent on WHEN you get the money, not IF you get it. Second, you need to point out that decision is only a probability, not a sure thing: "When I get the money, I will probably buy a phone."Answer by Sicilian Godmother
[phone]
Actually, it would be incorrect to say "If I got the money" because you are telling us that you are going to use your salary to buy the phone so it is not a matter of whether you get the money. You will have the money when you are paid your salary. The question is whether you will have enough money left over to buy the phone after you have paid all your bills. So you can say either: I want to buy a phone with my next month salary if I have enough money or if you are very hopeful that you will have the money to buy the phone, then your first sentence is FINE. "There is a real possibility that I will buy the phone with some money from my next paycheck.
