The OC Technophile

In the past month, the smartphone scene has changed a lot and Apple has a lot to do with that change. Apple released the iPhone 4 and iOS 4 operating system to the mobile world and it’s an exciting time to be a smart phone owner. The iPhone 4 features a lot of cosmetic and structural changes to the phone as well as a much needed increase of camera and video functionalities. The iPhone 4 now has a camera which is a 5 megapixel camera and you can now take 720p video on the iPhone which you can upload to youtube and other services.

The iOs4 operating system is a snappier operating system which now features folders and a great new way of organizing applications. You can now bundle your applications into business, work, games, utilities, and other folder options and each folder can now hold 12 iPhone applications. Multitasking is also now possible with the iPhone which now lets you switch between applications easily.

The iPhone 4 most importantly is now a faster and more efficient phone. It features the new A4 processor which speeds up the phone and you’ll notice that when you switch between applications and operate within the phone.

We overall highly recommend the iPhone 4 and the new operating system which you can also upgrade on the 3GS phone.

We had the chance to review the Plantronics Voyager Pro recently and have found it top be a top notch bluetooth headset for your everyday needs. The Voyager Pro features AudioIQ technology which limits the outside noise and filters your own voice to become a richer and fuller sound to the other party. As a boom style piece, it slightly protrudes from your ear but gives you a solid feel that you have a headset on vs some that dangle or hang of your ear. The Voyager Pro features audio alerts when your battery is low and when on mute, which is great especially if driving or in a crowded area. The noise cancelling features on the Voyager Pro is one of the best as it filters out any outside commotion and leaves the one on one conversation very audible and clear. If you’re looking for a solid piece of Bluetooth technology for now or the upcoming holiday season, we highly recommend the Plantronics Voyager Pro headset. It can be purchased online and via various retail outlets.
