Hold Style With Style - Ultima

With the goal to create the best possible solution to hold a smartphone in a vehicle, a two-year project is it's final stage, now with a working prototype that creators feel is just about ready to start moving into the manufacturing – meet Ultima by NKMOS- The World's Finest Universal Smartphone Holder/Mount 

The most important thing about Ultima is that no matter how often you buy a new smartphone, and even it is other  than an iPhone - there is no need to buy a new holder too - chances are your new phone will just fit, work and look great too! 

An Intuitive holding mechanism can easily be considered to be the most thrilling feature of Ultima: to open you press and hold the release button then place your phone in the holder and press in the sides till desired hold. Once you press in the holder it cannot be pushed backwards until the release button has been pressed, even if forced! With this intuitive technology, the need to use any other accessory is completely eliminated.

Ultima has nothing in common with cheap plastic holders that hardly last for several months. Due to the expensive aluminum ingredients and “instinctual” holding design the costs to produce is high, with tooling expenses of $40000+ and then manufacturing, assembly and delivery costs for each unit on top of that, not to mention the huge upfront cost previously spent to get this far. That’s why it’ll cost you $99 at retail but only $85 for Kickstarter backers for a first production run of Ultima in your choice of colors: silver or black. This includes FREE worldwide shipping! There is also a sweet looking limited Kickstarter Green Edition for $125 including FREE shipping that will only be available while the Kickstarter campaign is running.

At least 800 people to pre order for $85 are needed to bring Ultima to market. Once released to the public, 'Ultima' will retail for $99. You can get a pair of different color holders for only $160, again including FREE worldwide shipping – a great chance to give one to a loved one or a friend or maybe even just go halves with a mate and save!

iPhone 4 Will Never Get SIRI

After releasing iPhone 4S, SIRI has become the loveliest feature of the phone. Frankly speaking, it makes the main difference between iPhone 4 and 4S but consumer purchasing decision has changed . In a word, iPhone 4 owners are jealous and that is obvious. That is why rumors were flying telling it is not necessary to have iPhone 4S to use SIRI ; the rumors were so serious, Apple responded to the issue officially, affirming SIRI works only on iPhone 4S.  But hackers have not terminated working  on the issue.

As for now, CNet’s new report suggests that the real reason for SIRI not coming to the older devices is the lack of special noise cancellation circuitry.  Circuitry that is apparently in evidence in the iPhone 4S’s A5 CPU. As the matter of the fact noise-reduction circuitry, licensed from a start-up called Audience, is included only in iPhone 4S, a chip analyst believes that fact resolves the phone mystery and explains why the iPhone 4 lacks the SIRI voice-control system. As the success of SIRI depends on its ability to make out what people are saying and if background noise is compromising the ability, things will not work well. Details about Apple partnership has been revealed by Audience in January. The partnership has been lucrative the company, though it did not name specific numbers.

Linley Group analyst said: "Even after accounting for the dual Cortex-A9 CPUs and the large GPU that provides the A5 with industry-leading 3D graphics performance, the remaining die area seems too large for the usual mundane housekeeping logic. To reduce system cost and eliminate the extra package required for the Audience chip, Apple cut a deal to integrate the noise-reduction technology directly into its A5 processor, which appears in the iPhone 4S."

Although the older devices include an Audience chip, technology of handle ‘far-field speech’ has been improved. iPhone 4-era technology was good when the phone was held near the speaker’s mouth, the improvement means exactly that – holding the device at arm’s length instead of directly in front of the face.

While people believe that ‘big bad Apple’ is ripping customer off rather than make SIRI available on the older devices, the company does not really make a sense of it. If the iPhone 4 could not reliably understand voice well enough to make the feature work properly, Apple surely would not offer it, therefore avoiding any potential quality issues further down the line (not to mention incomes ).

iPhone 4 is not surely the phone that may disappoint us. It may does not have SIRI, but do not miss the chance to use an amazing feature, which can be described as ‘alternative SIRI.’ 

Make your iPhone Case on Your Own

Now you can protect your iPhone with a nice case. The most important thing is that you can design it yourself! The case works with the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4.

At Consumer Electronic Show, attendees were able to build their iPhone cases using interlocking pieces. There was a little workshop station set up for people to build their cases on the spot. From canisters filled with different colored parts, people could pick and build the case for their dream colors. 

People, who were not able to attend the event, should not envy because they can create their dream cases outside Las Vegas. As the video below depicts, that is very simple, just like sliding the pieces together. You need four modular pieces to build your case, though it comes with six ones. That means you can re-design it as often as you wish. Be sure the four-parted case lets you access to all of your phone’s port. You can get parties of the case for $35.

Microsoft Mobile Keyboard for you

Microsoft’s products for iOS devices is not something new, maybe you remember the company has updated an iOS application  recently. In December it has also released a Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000 which is compatible with an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.

Having the slim keyboard means to be able to take it wherever you go and use it without any cable. The best part of it is that the keys are full-sized and very comfortable.

A disadvantage of using the keyboard with an iOS device is the way its “Delete” key works – you have to use the “Backspace” key for getting rid of any text.

To skip around between words, your PC keyboard shortcuts won’t work either. Instead of the Control-D you need to hold the “Alt” key as you move around between words. However that will not matter for Mac users. 

The keyboard is not a new invention of the company, because it was firstly produced last year, called Microsoft Mobile Keyboard 6000. However 5000 is cheaper than the older one. Difference between the prices is caused from the fact that the 6000 includes a separate number pad. Price of the 5000 is $49.95.

iPhone 4 with DSLR Lens!

Apple’s iPhone 4 has surpassed the hopes of many, yet its 5-megapixed camera is outdated in comparison with some of its competitors like HTC’s Evo 4G, featuring an 8-megapixel camera. A fresh sample around the net shows how a discrete character formed a special tripod to attach a DSLR lens to the iPhone 4. An invention like this can definitely help a wandering photographer who avoids carrying apparatus around the trip at all costs or the one who just wants to enter the world of photography and cannot afford expensive equipment. Isn’t the creation just brilliant? Have your say!

MICROSIM ADAPTER, MICROSIM CUTTER and PROFESSIONAL MICROSIM CUTTER is the perfect solution for your Apple devices

Today i’m going to attract your attention by introducing three most useful products for your Apple devices. These are MICROSIM ADAPTER; MICROSIM CUTTER and PROFESSIONAL MICROSIM CUTTER.
To have a deeper understanding of the subject lets firstly discuss what micro-SIM serves for. Developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute micro-SIM is adjustable with very small devices, where mini-SIM card is feeble.
The micro-SIM was designed with the compatibility of previous version. It retains the same contact area of the chip and is compatible with larger SIM reader, through the use of plastic cutout surrounds. It runs on the same speed  (5 MHz) and includes the same size and positions of pins as well.
MicroSIM also known as 3FF — The «Third Form Factor» SIM, is smaller than the «normal» SIM and without surrounding plastic. It’s actual size is 12mm x 15mm and contact area of this third generation SIM Card is the same as of standard SIM.
This kind of Micro-SIMs will be in use in shortest time for mobile phones as well as for other devices and notable is the fact that Apple will be the first among them. In detail iPhone 4 and iPad are their first representatives.

What does MICROSIM ADAPTER

MICROSIM adapter is a simple mechanical solution bringing the microSIM card back to the standard card size (15 * 25 mm). It is made of durable plastic, in Germany, has rounded corners -making the insertion into the device easier. And can be used in both iPad /iPhone 4 as well as any other mobile device.
You can use MicroSIM Card in standard SIM slot devices (size 15x25mm) with MICROSIM adapter. It works on every mobile phone and with 3ff SIM cards of all vendors.
But in case you have data plan/service with any mobile-carrier, is it on your cell-phone or with a usb-modem, you are likely to have a 2G-Slot and you will be unable to use the SIM card in your iPad. Herewith, if you have an iPad with the new Micro-SIM - you will be unable to use the MicroSIM in your older iPhone.



MICROSIM CUTTER

There was plenty of tutorials how to cut usual SIM card to micro-SIM size with sharp knife or scissors. And it was especially popular among just released iPad 3G and iPhone 4 users.
But we can offer something more safe and comfortable then knife or scissors.
This is a steel microsim cutter allows you to cut your standard sim card to microsim card size. You don’t need to measure your sim card, mark cut-lines on the card, use scissors or a knife to cut the card and high risk of breaking your sim is avoidable.
You just need to insert the sim card into the microsim cutter, and then press the handle.



PROFESSIONAL MICROSIM CUTTER


It is patented high quality hand-made cutter, in a small series and will not operate if the 2ff SIM-card is not positioned correctly. It cuts the SIM exactly +/- 1/100 mm and is suitable for use in the warehouses and labs of network operators.
