Nokia has announced the first MeeGo-based smartphone - Nokia N9. It will be available in three colors—black, cyan, and magenta—with 16GB and 64GB storage. But Nokia has already stated that is has largely abandoned Meego in favor of Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system. Still, the N9 is shaping up to be a pretty impressive device, and boasts some interesting design choices. The most intriguing feature on the Nokia N9 is a gesture called swipe. There is no home key on the phone—when you're in an application, swiping from the edge of the display will pull up your home screen. There will be three different home screen views, designed to focus on apps, notifications, and switching between activities.
The Nokia N9 features a 3.9-incled AMOLED screen made from scratch-resistant curved glass. According to Nokia, the N9's polycarbonate body enables improved antenna performance, which may result in better reception, better voice quality, and fewer dropped calls.
The Nokia N9 allows you to easily share images and videos between devices by touching them together. There's an 8-megapixel autofocus camera with a wide-angle lens and HD-quality video capture. And it will also feature free turn-by-turn driving and walking navigation with voice guidance in Maps and a new dedicated Drive app.
iPhone 4S
Familiar and yet new, the iPhone 4S may not look different from the outside, but inside it’s a very different beast. With its fifth generation smartphone, Apple is keen to show that the devil is truly in the details: the iPhone 4S is wickedly fast, fiendishly well equipped and ruthlessly threatening to its mobile rivals. Can this really be your intelligent personal assistant, your multimedia hub and your window onto the cloud, all in one 9.3mm thick package? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Hardware： From the outside the iPhone 4S looks identical to the iPhone 4. Inside, it’s anything but. Apple has resisted the urge to change design for the sake of change, and stuck with the same 3.5-inch Retina Display, glass and aluminum casing, and minimalistic aesthetic as before. It’s a decision that frustrated some in the aftermath of the launch event, but makes sense if you consider the evolution of the iPhone. A bigger display would’ve made for a bigger device overall, and potentially alienated women, teens and anyone with smaller hands.
iOS 5： Apple’s newest version of iOS may be fresh to the iPhone 4S, but it’s also being pushed out to the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 3rd/4th-gen, iPad and iPad 2 this week. We’ve covered all the changes – and there are many – in our full iOS 5 Review.The most notable features are Siri, iCloud and the new Notifications Center, certainly the three likely to have the biggest impact on everyday iPhone 4S use.
