• Nokia’s Answer to iTenna Grips and Phone Holds to iPhone 4

    NokiaAtenna.gifApple had mentioned Nokia in their press conference today regarding the iPhone 4. Nokia issued a statement on it’s own antenna design and function. They say that they have studied how people hold their phones, use specific materials and location of antenna. Just a few years ago it was common to see mobile phones with visible antenna, this style has been changed so that the mobile phone looks nicer.

    *Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying human behavior, including how people hold their phones for calls, music playing, web browsing and so on. As you would expect from a company focused on connecting people, we prioritize antenna performance over physical design if they are ever in conflict.

    In general, antenna performance of a mobile device/phone may be affected with a tight grip, depending on how the device is held. That’s why Nokia designs our phones to ensure acceptable performance in all real life cases, for example when the phone is held in either hand. Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying how people hold their phones and allows for this in designs, for example by having antennas both at the top and bottom of the phone and by careful selection of materials and their use in the mechanical design.

    As you read through that, you probably noticed a few gems. Like how Nokia was “the pioneer of internal antennas.” We’re not going to say that they weren’t, not by any means, but let’s just try to stay focused. A comment that’s more on track would be something like this: “we prioritize antenna performance over physical design if they are ever in conflict.”

    Reports is not giving the iPhone their seal of approval and also
    found Apple’s claim that the signal bars were
    wrongly calculated was bogus.

    Wireless and Mobile News’ “Review of
    Reviews” of the 
    iPhone 4 (AT&T)
    showed many good features, but also concerns
    for the limited data plans as well as signal attenuation.

    The
    iPhone 4 had problems with
    slow uploads.
      Apple reported that they were stunned with the
    south-paw attenuation/death grip and there was problem with signal bars
    that would be fixed with a
    software update.
    On almost every cell phone there can be signal
    degradation from hands
    blocking the antenna. We posted several videos that show

    signal attenuation.

    Browser market was one of the most controversial. Microsoft dominated for a long time with its Internet Explorer, but in the last few years Firefox has managed to steal quite a large proportion of that of IE. Apple Safari also had several similar experiences, but the browser failed to impress Windows users, although the primary browser on Mac OS X operating systems.

    For mobile browsers, things are quite different. Mobile Safari dominates the market for mobile browsers, mostly because it is embedded in the iPhone and iPod Touch. Now, with the advent of mobile browser iPad will further strengthen its position.

    From Engadget reported that the iPhone now holds 0.51 percent of the market, while Android and Blackberry, respectively 0.07% and 0.04%. iPad is the market just two weeks, but already holds a large as that of the Blackberry. According to NetApplications, of 16 April iPad holds 0.04 percent of market share.

    Everyone is aware that iPad generally leads to media device, but these numbers clearly show that people accept the device for a great way to surf the web. Expected share of the iPad to rise further after being placed on the international market.
