Now the year 2012 is in front of us with full of promises and speculations as mobile manufacturing companies trying to develop the technology of state of the art. It is expected that Android based mobiles and iPhone will have tough competition as both companies are trying their level best to become the leading manufacturers. From the beginning of mobile age Nokia has attracted a loyal fan base for its wide array of attractively styled mobile phones that team high-end functions with user friendly interfaces. Nokia has just held the top spot in mobile phone industry due to the reliability and toughness of its sets but now as it has its competitor Apple and android based mobile companies has been manufacturing more high tech sets with unmatchable facilities and applications.

Apple is the most popular mobile manufacturing company these days. The company, during its first iPhone launch sold some 270,000 iPhones in the first 30 hours alone. iPhones have become choice of many people and captured the whole market due to their brilliant multi-touch screens, easy user interfaces, gorgeous looks, high-grade cameras, great media player and fantastic selection of apps; it also offers super fast 3G web browsing and push e-mail etc. Apple has launched its various iPhones with wide variety of storage form 16GB up to 64 GB with the services of 2G, 3G and 4G. In 2011 Apple has also launched its most awaited iphone 4S, which is another break through for Apple. The new iPhone 4S is loaded with awesome new features like face recognition system, SIRI, extreme downloading and video chat on 3G and 4G which will be no longer restricted to WiFi only.

Besides Apple, Samsung, HTC and Sony Ericsson are also striding hard to become market competitors. Samsung’s Glaxey SII is surely the most popular smart phone in the market. With various other high-end smart phones from other manufacturers as well. In the coming year 2012, we expect many other breakthrough mobiles from Apple and Samsung. In short, we can say that mobile phone manufacturing companies will take flawless lead in 2011.

Recent statistics for a website showed that more traffic is attracted by the Android phones as compared to the iPhone. Visits for the Android users grew to almost 350 percent from the end of 2008 till the ends of 2009 whereas the visitors for iphone grew by only 170 percent. People are always looking for more advance applications, games and software’s for their Android handsets whereas iPhone users made less downloads to their cell phones. This clearly shows that the Android cell phones are attracting people’s attention towards advance technology more effectively.

Although, these statistics show quite positive signs for Google Android, there could be some reasons where it may fail to acquire the greater market share. This may happen because most of the people are not concerned about the software. They just look at how appealing a cell phone is in terms of its design and shapes. Fewer limitations in a cell phone do not matter for people who are not technical savvy and they just neglect these limitations, if the cell phone is attractive. We know that iPhone has made its ground and is widely acceptable for the users despite of its limitations but Android’s success will depend a lot on its cell phone models. Nobody can guarantee as to which cell phone is going to be accepted in the market and which one is not. However, the statistics seems to be going in the favor of Google Android.

iPhone 4S is powered with the A5 processor, which is a dual core chip used in iPad 2. It has 800 MHz clock speed with RAM of 512 MB and maximum available storage up to 64 GB.

It has 326ppi (pixels per inch) which is surly a cool thing to have as it is the highest quality in today’s available mobiles.

From software perspective also, iPhone 4S is a giant with iOS 5 running in it. iOS 5 made many minor and some major improvements and enhancements. The important thing to talk here is Siri, the digital helper. It is only found in iPhone 4S which makes other iPhone users jealous of it. Due to heavy data of voice recognition, Siri require heavy processing which is only possible in A5 processor and to use it, you will need an active data connection.

Siri can literally do a lot of things that we can’t even imagine, it can send messages, emails, find restaurants, get directions, check weather updates and much more. The best thing about Siri is that it can understand the casually spoken accent. The more interesting thing is that it can guess from context that what a person is trying to say. For instance, if you want to send message to your wife to remind her to pick dogs from boarding while going from work to home, you will just say ‘ tell my wife don’t forget the dogs’ and Siri will send message to your wife ’don’t forget the dogs’.

iPhone 4S also have a longer battery life due to bigger battery. The camera of iPhone 4S is also one of the best camera in market. The camera has quite fast speed for capturing images. In short, we can say that iPhone 4S is right now the best smart phone in the market and you should surly get your hands on this smart phone.

Although, Symbian Anna has resolved many drawbacks of Symbian^3, which shows Nokia is trying hard to compete in the hot smartphones market. Symbian Belle is considered to be a touchstone for Nokia as it will determine whether Symbian OS is dead or just getting alive as other manufacturers are also keenly looking forward to it.

While talking about Nokia N8, it is surly the best among Nokia’s family. It surly has a good respectable place in open mobile market and can stand with any high end mobile. The reason behind immense popularity of N8 is that it is the first one in the Nokia family to use latest evolution of Symbian operating system.

This smart phone will get launched in Pakistan under the contract between Nokia and Ufone.

Almost every bank in Pakistan is now providing mobile phone banking services to its customers but still they are unable to attract the customers towards mobile phone banking. People in Pakistan don’t even like to pay their bills through their mobile phones and avail the service which can save their useful time. There are a lot of reasons why mobile phone subscribers in Pakistan don’t go for mobile phone banking services. The very first reason is that people do not have complete information about the mobile phone banking. Even after watching ads on television and newspapers they are unable to understand it completely. Why they don’t understand mobile phone banking is because they are least interested in it.

The next and the most important reason is that people in Pakistan do not trust mobile phone banking and they fear to bear any loss due to it. Pakistan is a developing country, unemployment rate is high and a lot of people are living their life below the poverty line. So, people in Pakistan avoid any kind of financial risk and in the sake of avoiding a financial risk they avoid mobile phone banking.

Banks, Cellular Mobile Operating companies and PTA need to create more awareness among people that mobile phone banking is secure and beneficial as it saves a lot of useful time. Only then mobile phone banking could become famous in Pakistan other than that it will take a lot of time to make people understand mobile phone banking and attract them towards it.

Yes it is true because Pakistan stands among those countries where the SMS service is really cheap. All the Cellular Mobile Operator’s provide different SMS bundle packages to their customers. These packages are not mandatory but they are so much attractive that mobile phone users cannot stay without activating one in their mobile phone connection. Offering SMS bundle packages is a race now and every day we see Warid, Ufone, Mobilink, Telenor and Zong coming up with different SMS bundle offers.

These SMS bundle offers are both good and bad for the mobile phone subscribers in Pakistan. The good part is this that people can communicate easily with each other through text messaging on cheaper rates and the bad part is that the youth of Pakistan is wasting a lot of time on it. They cannot concentrate on their studies and they take less interest in sports and other activities due to which their IQ level is also declining.

Ever since the SMS bundle packages race started, a big revolution has been experienced in the telecommunication industry of Pakistan and the CMO’s have earned and they are still making a lot of money through these packages. But what do you think? Are they really beneficial for the nation or they are a distraction for the youth of Pakistan?
