HiPhone Touchscreen Phone - Attack Of The iPhone Clones

I totally get why consumers are in love with iPhone technology. You basically have everything you need at your fingertips or in your pocket: the ability to surf the web, listen to music, watch videos, and snap photos.

I also totally understand why most people also have a love / hate relationship with the iPhone. Although the technology is great, in real life there are a few catches. The main one being that the iPhone requires a very pricey commitment to AT&T cellular service (about $100 per month for very basic service.) So now consumers have to just go with this expense or try to hack the phone, which doesn't always work.

Also on the side of the hate relationship is the fact that you are chained to the dealer to replace the battery. This means you'll be going to the dealer a lot. Who needs that? In addition to having your battery replaced, you may also being going to the dealer a lot for repairs. The iPhone is notorious for freezing up all the time for no discernable reason.

These problems left clone manufacturer CECT with a huge opportunity. Not only did the company fix these problems, they improved upon what the iPhone already had. A superb example of this is the HiPhone which claims it is "99% iPhone." I say it is even better than that.

The HiPhone comes equipped with all the technology consumers are looking for. It has the 3.5 inch high resolution touchscreen, offers web browsing, video playing and recording, music, photo, webcam, and Bluetooth capabilities, etc., but it has also made some very cool improvements to the iPhone.

CECT has added an additional sim, making the phone dual sim. This gives you two numbers without needed to turn off the phone. You don't need software for either sim. The HiPhone will automatically recognize any sim card.

This clone also has a slide unlock feature. You just move your hand across the screen and the phone is instantly unlocked.

Of course, CECT has added a removable battery so you aren't dependent on the manufacturer of the phone in any way.

Perhaps CECT's best improvement on the iPhone is that of "shake technology." If you want to change photos, songs, wallpapers, video, etc. all you have to do is shake the phone to move forward. This "shake technology" has really set the HiPhone apart from the other clones.

At about $150, the HiPhone is much cheaper than the iPhone and this price will probably come down. This coupled with the HiPhone's bonus features make it a leader in the attack of the clones.

The best way to evaluate the HiPhone is by viewing video footage. Visit the HiPhone Product Review Website by clicking here. to see video demonstrations, close up photos, unique features, and comparison buyer information about the HiPhone. Rae Edwards is an internet technology research and writer.

Broadband - Unsure Future for the UK

Stephen Timms, the UK's minister for competitiveness, warned last year that the UK risks falling behind in the race to providing super-fast broadband networks, claiming the situation to be "21st century's equivalent of the great arms race".

Timms drew up comparisons between our current broadband networks to those used in Japan and Korea, the world's leaders in broadband speeds, questioning why the UK should be allowed to fall behind.

The average advertised speed in Japan was 93Mbps in 2007, and South Korea's 43Mbps. Compare this to the average advertised speed of 10Mbps in the UK, with actual download speeds in the region of 4.5Mbps its easy to see where Timms is coming from.

The answer, it would seem, to stepping up our broadband networks is easy enough - a nationwide roll-out of fibre optic networks. The practicability and cost factors involved with such a roll out however, are where businesses and government officials start to stumble.

With an estimated cost of 7 to 15Bn, Ofcom, the UK's telecommunications regulatory body is having a hard time trying to convince any one company to invest.

It's been raised that what Timms didn't take into consideration is the concentration of residence in Japan and South Korea, where network speeds are at their highest. As, once you move out of the big cities and into the vast rural areas, the situation with slow or no broadband access isn't all that dissimilar to that experienced here in the UK.

Realistically it would seem that there is no "quick-fix" solution to the problem.

Various experiments and trials are being commissioned around the country with regards to implementing fibre networks, which will of course help towards the cause.

Moreover, even though it does not compare to other countries' networks, the UK is expected to be able to have the networks in place to increase advertised broadband download rates to 24Mbps over the coming years; which is a considerable improvement based on current standards.

WiMax, Competitors Vie To Create Powerful EcoSystems

Several very interesting issues are at play in the rollout of wireless broadband technology. Indeed, the landscape that will dominate the next decade and beyond is being created now, as WiMax increasingly consolidates on one of two initial versions and steels itself for competition against other approaches.

The situation is fluid. Initially, the WiMax plan - to the extent that one existed - was for stationary and mobile versions to share center stage. Soon, however, it became clear that the mobile version could do just about everything the stationary version could. Thus, the impetus behind the stationary version began losing steam, said Monica Paolini, the founder and president of Senza Fili Consulting, in an IT Business Edge interview.

A lot of operators currently are deploying mobile WiMax. They are using it for fixed services. It's called mobile, but they can use it for both. On the other hand, fixed pretty much is just for fixed. Mobile WiMax allows you to roll out a network that supports fixed and mobile. The issue is having an infrastructure that can support all users. A lot of carriers will skip fixed WiMax, but offer fixed services using mobile WIMax technology.

The big issue is what operators will do after 3G. Mobile WiMax is one option. Two others, according to this piece in internetnews.com, are LTE (Long Term Evolution) and ultramobile broadband (UMB). So far, WiMax has gotten most of the press, though the technology may be hitting a speed bump. Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal speculated that Sprint, which had publicly anointed WiMax as its 4G technology, may be looking to make a deal with Clearwire, a company that now has a proprietary version of the platform in the field and will roll out the standardized version when it becomes available. While such a deal may make sense, it could be perceived as a diminution of Sprint's embrace of the technology.

This is a sector in which partnerships and joint ventures will be vital. Paolini thinks that a battle between LTE and WiMax will not be decided by a drastic difference between the technologies, but by the direction in which the industry, as a group, decides to go.

Both LTE and WiMax use OFDMA [Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access]. Both have IP cores. There certainly are differences in the technology, but one is not a lot better than the other. Performance itself does not determine selection for mobile operators. It's more what the ecosystem is like, what the mobile community as a group wants to do.

Though the race will be close, one technology will dominate because of the fundamental support of vendors, service providers and others.

We expect whichever direction they take, they will move together because then roaming is much easier.

In this context, it's interesting that Paolini says it is likely that a new device will emerge. Cell phones and laptops are great, but neither is optimized to harness all the tremendous capabilities brought by wireless broadband.

But when you think about it, a laptop is a little too big to carry around all the time...most people just don't want to be bothered. On the other hand, a phone is a good device. Maybe a cellular phone has WiMax, but it is just an add-on that doesn't use the advantages of WiMax to the fullest extent. We need something in between, a data-centric device in a new form factor that allows you to capitalize on the advantages of mobile broadband. The other thing is to have consumer devices that have WiMax built in. It's a very good opportunity because the device is not likely to have a cellular interface.

The two points are connected. On one hand, she says the "ecosystem" - the intricate web of vendors, service providers, integrators and other assorted companies - will be influential in the relative success of WiMax, UMB and LTE.

On the other, she says a new type of device will be a deciding factor. Clearly, device makers, along with the companies that make the chips and other elements that are packed into them, are key members of any ecosystem. The immediate future of this sector would be easy to predict if one of the technologies was far superior to the others. This isn't so; it will be a confusing and hotly contested arena until one platform takes control. The key will be to follow the ecosystem.
