So before purchasing a touchscreen phone, make sure that one with the best battery life possible in the bigger screen category is bought.

There are quite a few touch screen models having smaller on screen icons which could be kind of a strain if fingers are used. In those cases, the stylus has to be made use of. But for those who aren’t comfortable using the stylus, phones with big screens and large icons on it are advisable. Neverthless using the stylus or either the fingers has got its pros and cons.
5) Internet browsing capabilities:- Since these days, a vast majority of the people prefers hand held devices to browse through the internet or do their day to day activities on internet, going through the internet capabilities of the phone such as the Wi-Fi or edge support would be a good idea.

iPad Three G Review
So it has finally happened, the Apple iPad three G is available for customers. Ever since Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the iPad, back in January of this year, potential customers have been highly anticipating its arrival similar to couples waiting for their new born baby. Last month it became available for customers, world wide. Although on the whole it has been a big success if one were to go by sales figures, the reaction to the product from a technical stand point has been mixed. Yes, it’s true that it is in a way a large iPhone. After all, it has the same operating system and touch screen display. But it is much more than that. To look at it as simply a bigger and more sophisticated iPhone would be a mistake.
First off, lets talk about the looks. One of the first things that anyone will notice is that the iPad looks very good, as does all Apple’s products. The high resolution 9.7 inch backlit LED display looks great. The screen makes activities such as web browsing and movie watching a real pleasure. The iPad has a multi touch screen that has been designed to be very precise and responsive. The iPad only weighs 1.5 pounds and is only half an inch thick. Another very popular feature is the battery life, which is much longer than the average laptop. You will now get 10 hours of battery life compared to 3 or 4 hours. It will even be able to stay on stand by mode for a full month and still have enough charge to do a couple of hours of work.
So far we have talked about the external goodies of this machine. Now lets look at what’s inside, after all that’s what really counts. The iPad three G has a built in 802.11n which means it can take advantage of Wi-Fi networks. In fact it will automatically locate any Wi-Fi networks which you will be able to hook on to with just a few key strokes. It also comes with Bluetooth 2.1+EDR which allows it to connect to wireless devices. The iPad has a very powerful A4 chip designed by apple engineers that is also very efficient. This is the secret behind why the iPad performs better than any touch screen device you have seen.
When it was first released, the iPad was not three G capable. But now they have released it with three G capability and you will be able to take advantage of super fast speeds for data transfer, up to 7.2 Mbps to be precise. This is what makes it very versatile piece equipment, because even if there is no Wi-Fi available you will be able to take advantage of the three G capability for all your download needs. On the down side the biggest complaint about the iPad is that it is costly to purchase. It also requires a bevy of add on features like lots of apps, bags, cases, iPad screen protectors, and whatever else you choose to buy in iTunes in order to take full advantage of it.

Review: Apple iphone 3G
The iPhone 3G is Apple’s most recent innovation in the three g phones class. At first glance, it may look like a exact replica of the original iPhone. It’s without question that the differences between the phones are physically hard to see, but there are a few subtle external differences and more than a few significant internal differences customers should take notice of.
The iPhone 3G is available in two colors, black and white. The black version comes in two distinct sizes, 8 GB and 16 GB. The white version is only available in the 16 GB capacity. It isn’t made out of aluminum, like its predecessors, but rather made up of a glossy plastic. Personally I don’t like this change, but I understand why it was necessary considering the wireless capability it has within it.
Not a lot has changed with the 3.5 inch touchscreen, but this is a sign of the beauty in its original design. The touchscreen is as responsive, if not more so, as it was in previous models. Plus the touchscreen is as bright and beautiful as ever. Apple decided to not include a dock with th is model. This is horrible when you take into consideration the old dock,from previous models, is not compatible with the 3G. On the other hand, the virtual keyboard remains completely unchanged.
As an improvement, the iPhone 3G doesn’t have a recessed headphone jack. This feature was removed because of feedback received from users, since the original release. Another great improvement regarding audio capabilities is the fact that the speakers are now a few decibels louder then they were in previous models.
Underneath the plastic exterior, it’s really impressive. The iPhone 3G zips through data transfers and Web browsing, and has been observed downloading at speeds in excess of 800 KB per second. Being a AGPS device, This model really excels in it’s performance during positioning acquisition. In that area, this phone shows it’s superiority over other 3G phones.
The iPhone does have a some flaws though. It still does not have a user replaceable battery and still lacks a slot for users to expand its memory. But these flaws pale in comparison to the overall benefits you get for owning one.
Apple still appeared to be the leader in the market in regards to the smartphones, but the competition is starting to catch up. If you want the greatest 3G phone currently on the market, the iPhone 3G would be for you.
