LoL – no iPhone 5 but a iPhone 4S

Today I spoke with my collegues Technical Support Apple products during lunch that I believe there will be NO announcement of the iPhone 5 this evening. At least that was my guess. I told that my humble opinion was that they will announce an iPhone 4S with an A5 dualcore processor and maybe with some hardware support for the new rumored voice control but this is all a surprise, this is done well by the marketing department of Apple…. and now we finally know:

New in the iPhone4S

  • HSDPA 3g will support maximum of 14,4 Mbps downloadspeeds
  • Photocamera can make photos with resolution of 3264×2448 pixels and video recording in 1080p (FullHD) with stabilisation and noise reduction
  • Promised a better light management and able to make even quicker photos
  • Intelligent voice control software Siri for your phone, not known at the moment if this solution is software only or this will require a special CPU
  • iOS5
  • Besides 16 and 32 also in 64GB model available
iOS 5 will come available for the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 1 and 2 and the 3rd/4th generation iPod Touch on 12 october 2011. The Dutch version will be available 2 weeks later. Together with iOS5 Apple will also make iCloud available to his customers.

Windows 8 Developer Edition review

On the 14th of september Windows 8 Developer Edition was downloadable for the public via Microsoft. With this test version Microsoft takes a new approach. They want that as much as possible people test this version. It’s not necessary anymore to register or activate this software. Everyone is able to download this for free.

What immediately draws the attention is the new Metro UI. A Windows Phone alike structure. Easy for touchscreens and other future features. A lot of expectations of this. I found it a bit strange to use but I think it has indeed a lot of potential.

In Windows 8 they integrated also XBOX Live. Games of XBOX Live can be played from your Windows 8.

I also noticed little changes regarding file management. Copying from multiple destinations is better organised. You have better control over all the processes. Very well done, handy.

I also noticed that Windows 8 was very responsive. Starting my old notebook was really quick. A nice surprise. They gained a lot of speed from the Plug and Play section. Smart done.

Nice feature was that I was installing a program and it notified me automatically it was dependant of .NET 3.5.1. and was trying to install it from Windows Update. This wasn’t working on my version. I think maybe because I was in a domain with WSUS. Downloading and starting manually Windows Update didn’t work either. Maybe this is not available yet. The principle of this is well done. I like it.

I installed Windows 8 on VMWare Workstation 8 because the previous VMWare didn’t support installation of Windows 8. The system requirements of Windows 8 are the same as Windows 7.

Here is a video of my installation of  Windows 8 Developer Edition on VMWare workstation 8 :
