Apple iPhone 4S 16GB Is it good enough to last the distance?

By the time the Apple iPhone 4S arrived in the mobile phone market place here in the UK, the other behemoth from the South Korean rival, the Samsung Galaxy S2 had already raked in a stupendous 10 million unit sales there did not seem to be anything to stop this giant march forward. And this includes the other higher end smartphone that was also rivalling for attention, the HTC Sensation. That is till the fifth generation Apple iPhone 4S arrived on the scene and threatened seriously to vanquish everyone on sight.

What happens after the initial euphoria is the key!

The next generation Apple iPhone went on to register a whopping three million unit sales in just three days of its official launch that saw the new iPhone appering on store shelves in 70 markets across the globe. This included USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, a few other European nations, Australia, and a few Asian markets as well. But everyone knows what happened with the predecessor iPhone, the Apple iPhone 4.0. After the initial euphoria subsided, suddenly it seemed no one was bothered to buy the iPhone.

Also, suddenly all across people were actually talking about the shortcomings of the iPhone rather than how utterly futuristic or out of this world it is. To the utter chagrin of Steve Jobs and is able team of engineers, everyone was talking about disappointing antennae signals and also the high cost and the sheer effort it takes to buy a new iPhone.

Let us hope that this kind of a trend does not get repeated with the Apple iPhone 4S 16 GB. Especially, the fears are real when we look at the star attraction based on which the mega sales currently happening seems largely based on.

Is the Seri voice command worth the hype made?

We are talking about the `Seri' voice command feature that everyone is terribly excited about in the iPhone 4S. From what one could gather from the initial feedback that one is receiving, it is certainly not a totally hassle free voice command option that allows the user to simply shout out the instruction and the phone device will carry it out promptly.

Inevitably, comparisons will be made of the efficiency levels of Seri with what the rival Samsung Galaxy S2 has to offer – the Android Voice Control feature called the Vlingo Voice Talk. The jury is stil out on this one with all the who is of the mobile phone sector figuring out which is better?
