Find My iPhone is a free service offered by Apple that allows iDevice owners to locate their device on the map, to block it, send a message to him and remove the entire contents if it is necessary. Apple has designed this service in the idea of helping users to find a lost or a stolen iPhone, and with the application help were caught thieves, were rescued victims of aviation incident and of course found many iPhones.

The service requires that your iDevice to have GPS on all the time and have an active internet connection to allow taking orders. I can say that I do not use the application “Find My iPhone” because the battery life is pretty much affected when GPS is always kept open and I prefer to have a good range instead of always being accessible on a map.

For others the autonomy falls secondary to the security offered by “Find My iPhone”, and I wonder how good the service is. I write a few months ago an article about “Find My iPhone”, so I come with the next question: How useful is for you the service “Find My iPhone”?

The iPad tablet is a mobile device, but 62% of the tablets bought by the consumers are used outdoors. The information comes from a study conducted in 15 countries on 15,000 consumers in the study did find the idea of so-called iConsumator habits. Researchers who conducted the study say that 40 million of iPad/iPad 2 was sold in 2010 and before but more than half of them are used only in the homes of consumers.

Apparently tablets are used in living room and replace personal computers without problems, at least for some users. For web browsing and watching video content the iPad tablet is perfect because it can be connected to a TV without any problems and can transmit content to it. I guess that in your case things are not much different but I’m sure you’ve removed at least once the tablet to “walk”.

I used the tablet outdoors a few times but generally I prefer to use the iPad for browsing because it’s easy to take it with me and do my job without any problems even if it has a smaller screen. At home the iPad tablet replaces the iPhone for gaming but do not replace the PC, always considering that on the computer you can work more easily.

After a year and a half of availability, iPhone 4 showed us that is the most fragile iDevice manufactured by Apple and the iPhone 4S not differ with anything since it is built in exactly the same way as iPhone 4. Well from the issues of users Apple had something to learn and now develop new ways to make the iDevice more resistant.

We are not talking about replacing the glass case from back but we talk about some systems that should make the pieces more “resistant”. First Apple thought of a polymer material, foam or gel material that would “withdraw” when the device is close to impact, and removing the case to avoid breaking it.

Apple’s solution would have the effect of an airbag that would change the structure of the material during and after impact. Another idea of Apple’s engineers involves chemically treated glass case of our devices, chemical treatment, which should do much more “powerful” over bumps.

My opinion is that if they make from glass will break even if it is blessed in church and the only way to ensure users that will not have problems like that is mounting aluminum or hard plastic cases.

This summer we were “inundated” by rumors that indicate that the new iPhone will be called iPhone 5, will be thinner, and will have a 4-inch screen, capacitive button and aluminum housing. In reality only the iPhone 4S was launched on the market but iPhone 5 exist and still exist as a prototype that has been tested by some Apple employees.

Those from BusinessInsider announce now that has information from a person who would have played with the device and it contains all the specifications that have appeared in the form of rumor on the Internet.

Since many of you have been waiting to see that device released by Apple probably will wonder why it took the Cupertino company decided to launch iPhone 4S? Well it seems that Steve Jobs was the man who opposed of this release claiming that the 4 inch screen would lead to a fragmentation of the iDevice’s series launched by the company from Cupertino.

Of course those of BusinessInsider information could not be confirmed by someone within Apple, but the existence of such a prototype is very possible and I say that because Apple tested the iPad tablets with 7 inch screen and various forms of housing.

MSI company has a long tradition in the production of graphics and has recently been thought to give iPhone owners the possibility to make overclock of their graphics directly from an iDevice. The company launched in the App Store the application Afterburner that connects to the computer users and allows them to change the graphics card settings. We are talking about very thorough calibration voltages, frequencies graphic chip, the fan speed, almost all important settings.

This iOS overclocking utility “Afterburner APP” was co-developed by MSI and well-known software programmer Nick Connors. This new Afterburner utility allows the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices to adjust or monitor MSI Afterburner settings on PC over a Wi-Fi connection.

Those from MSI say that the application should work for any graphics card but only for those manufactured by the company we will have a list of options. The application for iOS comes at several months away launched in the Android Market but the MSI’s intention is laudable. The application for iOS works in tandem with one for your computer that you can download and which theoretically should work on Mac and recognize your graphics smoothly clump.
