Do you need the iPhone 4G??? What does it bring to the table

The Iphone 4 may look like a power house with lot of new features. But as always Software is the key, if you can run the older devices - the 3G and 3GS with the new Iphone OS 4.0. Most of the features are already in.

The hardware may have the muscle to multi task, but then multi -tasking on a puny little processor is always limited. Have seen Android Phones - they always multi tasked - suffering if you have too many apps running in the background.

So what are the real changes that would make the move to the new hardware breath taking or need to have.

FaceTime. The dual cameras?? The N800 and N810 from Nokia had a similar feature and the same restriction. The Video Conferencing is limited to the same devices. Except that the camera on N800 was VGA cam, whereas you would get 1.3 MP on the iPhone 4.

The device has a meatier battery to last a bit longer but may be the new multitasking would eat away those advantages.

The other major difference would be .. We are going to be bombarded with much more ads. In addition to Admob we now have iAd. NO FREE APPS are going to be without the Ads. This would make the iPhone platform that much more lucrative. To get paid for impressions, would be an option lot of end users, who are unable to sell their applications for 99 cents or more would push in the iAds. We are not sure if paid applications would have the restriction on running ads!!! Have to wait and see.

Phone Cameras would be phone cameras, with the aperture sizes limited, they have their purpose , fun pictures randomly taken for the blog. It would take some more engineering to get similar results to the point and clicks. May be they would look better in the higher resolution screen. Honestly, many would not even make the difference. May be you can read some of the web pages a bit easier, but the very little reading that you do on the iPhone would be better.

As the blog started, the biggest difference would be the OS and most users who are now with the 3G or the 3Gs would not miss much.

The Finger Knows, even if your brain does not - Passwords

Was reading an interesting article, now that I have lost the link, I may not have it here, though I would fill that in once I get hands on it. This article was how the fingers knows what you are typing even though your eyes reading the content says you typed in wrong. This was done in a research that talks about how they introduced typos, some of the typos were introduced even when it was typed proper and some typos were corrected randomly. The conclusion of the study was that, the finger paused a second, when it typed fine, but the eyes looking at the screen, saying you got it wrong. The pause is because of the auto recognition of the fact by the fingers when you make a typo or that you are sure that you got the correspondence between the eyes and the fingers. Reading the article, made me wonder, have we not always remembered our passwords for different sites. Many a times I have had the opportunity to go to a website and even without thinking for a moment, the fingers go and hav...

A Roadmap to move from Cloud to In premise - The reverse migration -- Is Cloudflation at myth?

Cloudflation as a term is being used and talks on the spiralling cost of cloud bills for an organization. The easily available and provisioning options leads to workloads that run for no reasons, orphaned accounts and a gamut of costs that are accrued by multiple departments without much of an oversight. There is a trend to reduce the workloads and have a semblance of order. It is imperative that we have plans that helps to reverse the migration to cloud and bring back some of the workloads that might work cheaper to run local. Is there a roadmap to achieve this goal? A few pointers in this direction A roadmap for moving from the cloud to in-premise computing should include the following steps: Assess current workloads: Assess the current workloads that are running on the cloud and determine which workloads would be most suitable for in-premise computing. Identify in-premise infrastructure: Identify the in-premise infrastructure that will be needed to run the identified workloads....
