To start with, both of the phones have jacked things up under the hood to sharply improve performance and bring a wide lot more power to their latest versions of the phones. The Samsung Galaxy S has a 1 GM ARM processor called the Cortex A8 that operates at the same 1 GHz speed found in the iPhone 4, but Apple went with a different choice of processor, the A4 series that is seen in their iPad tablet device. Along with these performance enhancing hardware boosts, both phones have highly tuned operating systems, as well. That would be the Android v2 Touch Wiz UI for the Galaxy S and for the iPhone 4, the latest iOS 4.0 comes installed.

In terms of display, the winner may be difficult to decide on due to the fact that the iPhone as a 3.5 inch display which is smaller than its Samsung competitor which measures in at a full 4 inches. However, the caveat ends up being the fact that the resolution on the Galaxy S is an inferior 800 x 480 compared with the 960 x 640 on the 4th iPhone. This, along with the fact that the iPhone 4 is able to shoot HD video at 30 frames per second pushes things closer to the Apple side.

In terms of size and handling, the iPhone 4 is the heavier of the two due to the fact that its stainless steel antennae adds 19 extra grams of weight to the phone. It also has a scratch proof glass display that is not found in the all plastic Samsung Galaxy S.

Then, developer Gabor Csell made the announcement that reMail was actually being released as an open source project on Google Code, a prominent source code release site on the web. The code will be released under Apache License 2.0 and developers are encouraged to use reMail as a building block for their email apps, according to what Csell has told the media. The move that frightened many users who were worried they would miss the app has actually ended up brightening the email search crowd and was apparently a maneuver designed to get Csell re-involved in Google after he left during the Gmail development days.

The LG standard may change things for the market and if analyst predictions turn out to be true then the smart phone market will be evolving rapidly if the Pop succeeds the way they believe it will.

If things keep up at the current rate, it looks as though Samsung could take a bite out of Apple’s market share with the rising popularity of the Wave. Few devices, even in this current generation, offer quite as much flexibility or power as the Wave so Apple will need to realize they are no longer on the same playing field these days if they want to keep their edge.

This time, fans will be able to view the games by using the AT&T Edge network which so many US iPhone users are subscribed to, as well as the 3G Network or Wi-Fi - basically any network compatible with the iPhone. The app will function by offering the games live on demand and can stream a total of over 60 different games that begin at the first round level and go straight to the Final Four games that are the peak of the competitions. When multiple games are airing at the same time, users will be able to switch back and forth between them. The video is expected to be crisp, but may experience certain slow downs depending upon the quality of the internet connection at any given time.

These scanner apps, also know as wi fi stumblers, are used to locate, in continuously updated real time, the number and quality of surrounding wi fi hot spots and the reason for the removal is simply that the APIs were of a private source and undocumented. While apps such as Spots and Wi-Fi Finder are viewed as okay because they search based on a directory, the apps Sekai Camera, yFy and Wifi-Where are not since they are adding their listings in a dynamic way that Apple is reluctant to approve of.

While the iPhone does not have the capability to play more than a single audio track at any given time, the TouchDJ software tricks the processor into playing two MP3s simultaneously and adjust the tracks’ volume, effects, speed and pitch throughout the course of the tracks. Looping and the ability to load your own samples onto the phone help users create the sonic experience they want quickly. The app comes at a price tag of $19.99 and is recommended only for iPhones with higher processing power such as the 3GS model due to the heavy demands it makes on the device’s hardware. For the best results, experts recommend the 32GB iPod Touch which is able to run the program and all of its features with a comparative level of ease.

Nokia nearly always puts out a product that makes reviewers rave, but the n97 has gone a notch up by building in a big selection of goodies not seen in other similar phones. The fact that it is incredibly sensitive to use means it will know to dim itself if the lighting brightens and it knows to make the texting sound lower in volume when a user is utilizing the phone. Only time will tell if Nokia can make Apple sweat.

With the app, users will be granted access to NASA’s Image of the Day and Astronomy Picture of the Day, as well as being given easy connection with NASA TV videos, and various other agency feeds including Twitter. In addition, users will be allowed to filter the information they receive so as to be informed only about the missions they are most concerned with such as Solar System events or NASA launches. Saving pictures directly to the mobile devices is promised to be a breeze and the space agency believes the app will raise interest worldwide, bringing more people behind its missions.

However, Nokia is also raring for the fight and odds are high that the company can actually make a very good impression with their new n900. Experts have proven that the Nokia n900 is a serious competitor based not only on its impressive processing power and robust design, but the fact that it can browse the web over a broadband connection using a modem instead of forcing users to find a local WiFi connection. No matter which way the tide turns, if it turns, the consumers will be the winners since they will have wider selection, better technology and lower prices this go around. That is certainly the type of innovation most people prefer say experts in the smart phone industry.
