BETTER, stronger, FASTER?!....looks like Apple WILL be upgrading iPhone & iPad in September [fo' shizzle?]..... - NewtonMP2100 - 06-22-2011
....reported on Bloomberg.....iPhone will get faster chip (and working on a cheaper iPhone for developing countries).......and iPad better resolution.....
Apple Preparing Faster IPhone for September
....Apple plans to introduce a new iPhone in September that boasts a stronger chip for processing data and a more advanced camera, according to two people familiar with the product.
The device will include the A5 processor, the more powerful chip that Apple added to the iPad 2 earlier this year, along with an 8-megapixel camera, up from the 5-megapixel model in the iPhone 4, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the details aren’t public. Apple is also testing a new version of the iPad that has a higher resolution screen, similar to the one now used in the iPhone 4, one of the people said.
The iPhone is Apple’s top seller, accounting for half of revenue last quarter. A faster chip will enable speedier loading of programs and help the device vie with handsets being introduced by rivals such as Samsung Electronics Co. that are powered by Google Inc. (GOOG)’s Android software. The iPhone’s gains versus the BlackBerry partly explain why Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM) last week forecast its first-ever quarterly sales decline.
The new phone will run the iOS 5 operating system Apple previewed at a developer’s conference this month. Codenamed “Telluride,” it will feature already-announced features such as improved messaging and photo-sharing, one person said. It’s also designed to run on all of Apple’s mobile devices, this person said. Until late last year, iPads, iPhones and iPod touches used slightly different versions of iOS.....
we can REBUILD it......????

I was just thinkin' about "fo shizzle!" about 2 hours ago!
:-D
So... is the "faster than rivals like Samsung" chip going to be an ARM chip by Samsung? If so.... Samsung
won't be real far behind on that one, because I think they'll already know about it!!
I want to see the .18um Intel Dual Core ATOM.
They are working on a .22um ---- but DEC - as in Digital Equipment Corp, had an .18um version of
the 64 bit ALPHA - designed, tested and ready for 2002 or 2003, and had already implemented .32 and
smaller on previous versions.
This is interesting to note because Intel JUST GOT TO .32nm scale on 64 bit chips, and IBM is still using
a .45nm scale for the Power 7 - which is the size of a G3/G4, with 8 cores on it, and runs at 4.25GHz
(down from Power6 at 5GHz) but cranks an incredible 267 GFlops with one 8 core CPU.
That, my friends, is like 267 Apple G4/450 CUBES (not including Sherman Tank).
The iPad 2 (and the Cray of 1994) stand at roughly 1.67GFlops. Current iPhone 4 at 1GFlop. Same as a G4 Cube.

WHY DO THEY KEEP COMPARING APPLE TO GOOGLE?
Google doesn't make any phones. Apple isn't losing any marketshare to Google, people are buying phones
made by Motorola, Samsung, HTC, etc., etc., that run software made by Google (stolen plans by their
former CEO while a director of Apple Inc.)
Just because Pratt & Whitney or GE or Rolls Royce make jet engines, when companies buy an Airbus
vs. a Boeing, they don't compare the engine manufacturer to the maker of the entire vehicle.
Those are no more correct than comparing an entire Macintosh to a $99 box of Winduds 7.
Now that Apple is the #1 computer seller by brand, you don't hear like we USED TO, "Apple, which only
has 10% of the market share" --- because now Apple is the single biggest seller of computers with that
market share, despite it not being Windows -- BUT - if you're a dipshiit and want it to be a Winduds
computer, it can be --- so they stopped saying that stupid shiit.
The only GOOD thing about the Android OS being by Google- is that it ISN'T by Microsoft.

This is an intentional misdirection by google and its cronies. It's the only way they can be shown to "win."
Pitiful, isn't it?

most of journalism is finding the "right" comparison so you don't have to think for yourself
