Converting your SIM into a micro SIM!

Converting a normal SIM into a micro SIM is extremely easy. This is chiefly for users who have not yet got access to micro SIM.
Got my micro sim for the iPhone 4!
This is a micro SIM of an iPhone.
Steps for making a normal SIM into a micro SIM.
Required materials: A scissor, a piece of paper, scale.
Step 1: First take out a normal SIM.
Step 2: Mark the dimensions of the micro SIM in that SIM.
...and 100!
Use the ruler for this purpose.
Step 3: After marking, start cutting the boundaries with a scissor.
On cutting with precision, the SIM turns out to be a micro SIM!
So, the original SIM-

has now turned into a MICRO SIM!

In the market, SIM cutters are being sold at a high price which follow the same technique. In Malayasia, this SIM cutter costs Rs 2000. Modified micro SIM will be a big hit in countries like India where the iPhone 4 is yet to hit stores.

Reception problem in Apple is distressing!

The reception issue is that if you cover the bottom-left corner of the phone and bridge the gap between the notch there with your naked flesh, you could see some signal degradation. The company tells further to move your hand position, or get a case which covers that part of the phone, thus breaking contact. It seems the idea of the user removing the hand isn't good after all. Accountability issues are on with the manufacturers, not the users. So, if I buy my iphone with a hefty price of over Rs.30000, then I do not expect to remove my hand from the phone just to take care of the company's problem.
Meanwhile, reportedly a senior engineer of Apple Inc. had told the team beforehand about a possible loss of reception from the design.
Another so called fix has come up in the market- iOS 4.0.1 Software Update.
Apple's iOS 4.0.1 Software Update improves the formula to determine how many bars of signal strength to display on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G. The real signal strength remains the same, but the bars on iPhone will indicate it more precisely.
So, it seems they can't improve the receptivity. But, They have given something to check the signal's strength on holding inappropriately.
Apple's marketing stunts!!!!!!!!!!

Android Versus Apple!!!!!!

The race has begun. Android is big in the market. Crossing over 100000 applications, Android is giving Apple some problems. The applications range from Heavy Gunner 3D to FOX Business to Yahoo Music Radio. Be it Entertainment, business, spy software, antiviruses, anything that you wish is in the list.
But contrary to popular expectations Apple sees it as a challenge. It does not recognize Android's aggressive expansion as a threat. And they have got no reason to be threatened, because Apple has over 250000 applications launched in the market. The rivalry is getting big. Watching the record of Google over these years, one thing is for sure; It may not take long for Google to come quick on Apple.
