CDMA iPhone 4 Will Come to India: Morgan Stanley
It was one of the longest running rumors in the tech space to finally break into reality yesterday - Apple unveiling a CDMA iPhone 4 for US carrier Verizon. For those not aware, the CDMA iPhone 4 is almost similar to its GSM counterpart in features or form, except for the Android 2.2-like Mobile Hotspot feature that lets you turn your phone into a wi-fi router.
Today, Apple Insider has reported that an analyst from the global financial services firm Morgan Stanley is hopeful on the CDMA iPhone 4 reaching Indian waters. The report states that as Apple has signed a non-exclusive agreement with Verizon (unlike the five-year exclusive tie-up they had with AT&T for the GSM models), there's a possibility of it floating elsewhere.
The analyst suggested that Reliance from India could bag the CDMA iPhone 4, while China Telecom would bring it to that region. The GSM iPhone 4 was officially out in China, with the first batch being sold out within a week. While India has been waiting for a long time now to receive any kind of iPhone 4 - GSM or CDMA, Black or White.
India is in no way a small market for mobile phones - it's one of the two fastest growing mobile markets in the world right now. Also, 20 percent of India's 670 million mobile users are on CDMA networks. So, if the CDMA iPhone 4 does come, there ought to be a decent number of hopeful customers.
But then if you're the kind of person who really wants to get the latest in whatever available, then the iPhone 4 is going to arrive in just a few months after the iPhone 4G/5 launch in June 2011.
iPhone 5G to feature 8MP camera from Sony
“Apple has picked Sony's 8-megapixel camera chip for the 2011 iPhone, according to supply and manufacturing sources, said Rodman Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar.”
Currently the iPhone’s camera is from OmniVision hint that the 5MP camera will come from them too. Knowing Sony’s phones mounted by their camera modules boast high quality captured images then I must say it’s not a bad choice. Along the way the 2011 maybe time for 4G networks so possibly we can have an iPhone 5G with 4G support.
In the end, it’s too early to tell for 2011 iteration of the iPhone, let’s just see what Apple has stored for us this summer, mainly the iPhone HD and iPhone OS 4.
64GB iPhone and 128GB iPod Touch to hit early next year
If we will be following what happen last year when Toshiba announced the 32GB NAND flash modules that obviously ended up in the latest iPhone alteration. The main reason why there is only a 32GB iPhone which is half the size of a the largest version of iTouch (64GB), the iPhone can only house a single chip due to its communication components while the iTouch can hold up to two NAND flash.
However we can’t still set to this as we see this may be part of the next generation iPhone and iPod Touch revision that goes sometimes along June next year. Still I wish Apple may push this upgrades as soon as possible to house our overflowing media files.
