However, it can test the consumer report or the new Apple iPad 3 in an unfavorable light. It is not the first time that the consumer report – comparable with the donation goods test in this country – criticizes. After the launch of the Apple iPhone 4 had the testers out on the antenna problem of the Apple smartphone. While this was unusual at the time of the antenna design, the error on the Apple iPad 3 is not so easy to identify. There is no single reason for the high temperatures are not likely. Instead, several components may be involved.

The retinal display of the Apple iPad for example, requires a stronger backlight to work the quad-core graphics chip has to provide more and more of the already battery needs more energy. All this causes in the interior of the housing presumably for higher temperatures. In fairness, it must be said, however, that the measured 46.7 degrees Celsius occurred only when the game “Infinity Blade II,” a three-quarter hours running continuously.

The use of a smartphone with the new Windows Mobile 7 Phone will be possible only with a valid Windows Live ID. Even with the early versions of the Google Android operating system, there was such pressure, which was then removed under pressure from concerned users and privacy advocates again.

Since Android Google Account 1.5 no longer necessary to use an Android phone.Even Apple’s iPhone at a less rigorous way, such as Microsoft reported tweakers.net Phone with Windows 7, as areamobile.de, citing a report by the Dutch website. Admittedly, the iPhone users have an iTunes account to use the iPhone for the first time to activate them. At a later stage, however, no more iTunes account is required.

With Windows Mobile 7 this seems to be otherwise well. The use of new Microsoft smartphones will be possible only with a valid Windows Live ID. This should emerge from a secret Microsoft document that tweakers.net present. Thus, a Windows Live ID is not only for the initial set up (to sync to the iPhone) is necessary, but also contacts or other services from Microsoft, such as the Windows phone access 7 Market Place.

In addition to seven cell phones a certificate installed on Windows, which is to prevent that can be installed unauthorized software on the Microsoft Smartphone.Moreover, Microsoft can thus always recognized by whom the Windows Mobile 7 Phone can be used. A similar procedure previously met with great criticism.Android users and data protectors protested against such a constraint in Google’s operating system.

iCall make VoIP calls through the 3G Network

For all of you known the eternal debate about the unacceptability of Apple to make VoIP calls through 3G network from the iPhone. Many (including myself included) thought this would never come to light after Google’s rebuke as theVoice, but nothing is further from the truth.

With iCall can make calls to any number anywhere in the world via the 3G network. To get an idea, a five-minute call from Spain to Singapore has left me by 8 cents (about five U.S. cents), far less than it costs me a call within the same territory through Telefónica.

There are several settings of the program, one of which will pay you a monthly fee allowing us to call anynumber. But the most interesting is the charge per call, which will require an initial payment of 10 dollars (just over 7 euros) you spend on card, allowing us to use it for subsequent calls.

The program will save this amount in a counter that is updated with every call minus the spending we’ve done. We synchronize the program with Facebook to add his contact list and can also access the iPhone’s agenda since. We must be clear that to make the call, it is necessary to determine the country where is that phone number, so in the case of Spain will have to add the “0034″ ahead of the number. Thanks to Albert Sant by pointing to this program.
