Google vs Bing, who will win the iPhone search?

Welcome to another post at Accessories for iPhone

If you have been following the news from the likes of Macrumors, you will have seen that there has been quite a discussion, or rather speculation on who Apple will choose to have as their default search engine.  Will it continue to be Google as the default Search Engine on all iPhones?  Or are these rumors holding some truth in speculating that Apple is indeed going to be working with Microsoft (again).

Fanboys of Apple will probably say that this should never happen, and if it does happen they will do a manual switch to Google.

Let us think about this a bit though.  Is Bing as awful as we all remember Live or MSN Search once was?  Polls and customer surveys suggest otherwise.  Bing may very well be as good, if not better than Google, and with people on their iPhone beginning to use it more extensively, perhaps Microsoft will become even better.  They certainly are showing some innovative signs with their WinMo 7 OS, which is becoming to be quite a contender on a speculative side.  We shall see.  As always, please send us your comments and opinions.

iPhone 4G concept for summer 2010

Hello, and welcome back from a long Thanksgiving weekend, or as we like to call it – Turkey bingeing holiday!  We at Accessories for iPhone are recovering from it, hence the late post.  But, fear not, for we have kept tabs on all the latest news about everything iPhone related, and as tradition has held since the first press release of the first generation iPhone, new rumors in the blogosphere and news outlets have begun their annual “new iPhone” spotted in the wild again.  This time around, MacRumors broke the story on a new iPhone spotted in the wild.  It is the first time that it has been spotted in the wild for field testing under the name iPhone 3,1.  These news also reached Mashable, Digg, and many more.  So…are we going to continue the report they have been so diligent in reporting?  The answer is no.  Instead, we will list what we would like to see in the new iPhone hardware wise, and in the new iPhone OS.  The new OS will probably also work for iPhone 3G [S] but not so sure about previous generations.

Here is the hardware we wish to see in new iPhone for Summer 2010:

• Faster dual processors (dual 1Ghz?)
• Better camera – beat the Motorola Droid by leaps! Perhaps 8MP?
• Built in LED flash for the camera
• Real Zoom (3x?)
• Front facing camera to catch up to Europe and Japan for video calls
• 512 MB RAM instead of current 256
• Built in NVidia gfx card
• 10 Hour battery life for 3G Talk

What we want to see in OS 4.0:

• Background Apps running simultaneously
• Google Voice available in App store
• Ability to change default background of iPhone OS
• Ability to Categorize Apps into “Stacks”

We are sure there are many more features people would like to see.  What we have written is but a small sample of what we could think of.  As always, we at Accessories for iPhone are always looking for new cool news about everything iPhone.  Tomorrow, we will post a review one of our iPhone cases.

moto droid, verizon, iphone, apple, qualcoom

Hello again to another here at Accessories for iPhone.

The ubiquitous iPhone is an eternal reminder to all other handset manufacturers, and mobile OS developers (Android, Symbian, Palm Web OS) that competing with the iPhone experience is not an easy feat to accomplish.  Sure, there are those who tout Android as the second coming of Jesus phone, if iPhone was the first coming of the Jesus phone, or even saying that the Palm Pre OS is amazing.  This past week Verizon launched two new Android phones, the Droid from Motorola that sports a higher MP camera than the iPhone 3G [S] (5.0 MP vs. 3.0 MP).  As for quality of photos – that one is debatable as some bloggers have noted that the even though the MP is higher, the shots are not better according to a reviewer on Engadget.

But does Verizon really believe that the Motorola Droid, or HTC Droid can compete against the berserker known as iPhone?  According to many blogs, and analysts, it is only  a matter of time before the iPhone comes to Verizon sporting a Qualcomm chip.  One of our insider sources has in fact already seen the work being put in place that is going to see Verizon customers to be iPhoneized by December 2010, if not a bit sooner.  The form will not be smaller either according to our insider source.  It will be same size as the iPhone we all love and use. But, that could change and only time will tell us if this source’s info is accurate.  What are your thoughts on this, and do you have any inside info you would like to share with us?  You can share your comments with us and our followers on Twitter, and Facebook.  An image if possible would be even better to back your claim.  We will try to get one ourselves from our source, but that may prove tricky.
