Whenever i read the newspaper, all i see is this – “Is **** going to be the iPhone Killer?” and **** is not what your thinking it to be but any phones name like Nokia N97 or Google’s G1 or Palm Pre.

In midst of all this Erik Johnson had time to make a video, which is a mashup of all these things going on. 

He Writes

I recently produced a video parody of iPhone “Killers” that have become a buzzword lately. This pokes fun at these phones that offer little competition to the iPhone, even though they are hyped up from other mobile phone manufacturers and the media.

Well it’s true, worst of the phones are getting termed as iPhone killer. Anyways check out the video after break!

Emergency! My iPhone needs to Cool down! : iPhone over heating problems

iphone_warningIf you use your Computer continously for about 5 hours, it get’s heated and then after it can’t bear it, it just shuts down. Well this happened in most of the Gadget, till now. But now this can happen on your iPhone 3GS!

Its quite natural for this to occur but had never expected that this might happen to the iPhone also. Well, Apple also has a inbuilt system to warn users about the condition of their iPhone. Well overheating of iPhone’s not that common, till now, but later as more and more people buy it, we may start hearing more news from it.

Apple has also stated that users shall not keep their iPhones in Environments which exceed 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Company has also warned users that heavy usage of programs like Gps along with listening to music in Strong Sunlight may be enough to damage your iPhone 3GS. Stay Cool and let your phone stay cool too!

No. of Palm Pre’s Sold in June? An amazing 300,000!

Well, Charter Equity Research Reports that Palm Has sold Over 300,000 Palm Pre handsets on June. This number is quite higher than the one in May which was 70,000.

You may wan’t to know how did they gather the Results? Just called some of the guy’s in business and found that over 300,000 units were sold.

The reason for the numbers being low is because the Company was not much sure about the demand and because of that it just had 120,000 units ready at the time of launch which were sold in no time.

The company also says that It’s capable of producing upto 15,000 Pre’s daily and will ship like a Million phones to Sprint in the quarter of it’s first production. Good Numbers which might seem challenging to the iPhone later!

Thanks Inquirer.

Youtube mobile uploads shoot up 400% : But was it too late for Apple?

Not even a week had passed and Apple had completed the sale of their 1 millionth iPhone 3GS. But with that the new feature that came in was Video Recording. With the help of it’s 3 Megapixel Camera and Features like AutoFocus iPhone users are tremendously contributing to youtube. 

Is it Good or Bad for youtube? Only time will tell, when the revenues are out but for know this seems to be a good news. But the main question is here that is apple too late with the Video Recording feature? The Earlier Generations lacked the capability of Video recording. But then It’s never too late as Apple decided to finally provide users with this feature. If the earlier generation would have been equipped with Video Recording capabilities then the Growth of YouTube would have doubled with the amount of iPhone’s sold till date.

Ad wars are going around everywhere,  may it be between Pepsi and Coke or Apple and Microsoft. But one thing is clear that this war between Sprint and AT&T for the iPhone and Palm pre is different than these normal ones.

In this Ad, Sprint tells that you can’t run applications in the background but with the Palm Pre you can. Also you can save upto $1200 by switching over to the Palm Pre. Now i am loving this.

Well, the Palm Pre does not have 50,000 apps like the iPhone but yes, it does have many.  666,511 (It’s a nice Figure for now atleast)  App’s were downloaded as of 17th July and by now it must have reached 700,000 App downloads. The number has been increasing as more and more apps are added.

As you can see in the Graph Above there hasn’t been a drop in it but then it is too early for us to Judge it and compare it with the iPhone after iPhone apps just crossed a Billion Mark sometime back.

Thanks Engadget.
