iPhone Photo Printer - - Crystal-clear Printouts Direct from Your iPhone

Seeing as the quality of photos that come out of newer smartphones are pretty decent, it makes pretty good sense that we use them to take a good portion of our photos. Holidays, birthdays, and special events have all amassed in photo form onto your device, and unless printed, will stay there forever. Sure, you can transfer photos to your computer and turn out some copies, but wouldn’t it be easier if there were a printer just for your phone?

The iPhone Photo Printer has a $159.99 price tag, but prints out crystal-clear 300 dpi resolution photos. The vibrant colors you will find in these photos are thanks to some patented paper that has yellow, magenta, and cyan dye crystals embedded within it. Each purchase is accompanied with a pack of paper that will give you about a dozen prints that are smudge-, tear-, and fade-proof, as well as water resistant. For those of you that own an Android-powered device, you will be happy to know that this will play nice with your phone as well.

Official Release Date Announced for iPhone 4 at Verizon After End of 4-years Exclusive Agreement With AT&T

After many months of speculation, Verizon has now announced the Verizon iPhone 4. The launch of the iPhone on Verizon marks the end of the almost 4 year exclusivity agreement that Apple had with AT&T.

As for the release date, expect it as early as February.

The iPhone going to the Verizon network has been in testing for about a year now and is capable of connecting to the CDMA network. All the features are practically the same such as FaceTime availability, the Retina Display as well as the insides. The only main difference is the way it connects up, ie its CDMA technology inside.

So that Verizon can handle the network load the smartphone will bring to it, they have increased network capacity.

A few questions have been asked such as why they don't use LTE technology. Using LTE chips required small design changes to the phone which Apple didn't want to make. Using LTE would make the roll out longer, so CDMA was opted for on this version of the iPhone.

Expect to hear the exact release date and pricing revealed in the next few days, perhaps weeks.

Apple Inc. the maker of the insanely famous and perhaps the most cherished smartphone in the world, Apple iPhone series is back in the rumor realm again as numerous reports now indicate that, the company could very well be working on the next generation smartphone, iPhone 5. With the phenomenal success achieved by iPhone 4G that was released this year, it wouldn’t be surprising if Apple is in fact working on a new iPhone variant. However, what does comes as a big news is the fact that, Apple could also be looking to make the iPhone 5 a remote computing tool, with the help of Near Field Communication (NFC) chip, that the company is expected to put into the new iPhone.

Near Field Communication is essentially a wireless connectivity protocol, that would enable the users to carry their Mac desktop data and settings and would then be able to transfer this data on to another Mac. The synchronization will make the Mac take load and run all the applications and will run as per the settings synced. To achieve the NFC sync, the users will be required to be in close proximity of the Mac and once the connection is closed or severed, the computer will revert back to its original settings. The data that can synchronized with the Mac includes, Address books, desktop pictures, keyboard and mouse settings, as well as bookmarks and password management for websites.
