No Comments



Reviewing iPhone 4 vs iPhone 3GS is especially important for those who probably own the earlier handset. Nonetheless for a first time buyer it is a must read too. The latest version offers major upgrades over the 3GS in terms of screen display, speed, camera, multi tasking, battery and audio. If you don’t yet own an iPhone, or have the original iPhone or iPhone 3G, the 4th generation, apple phone is probably a must have upgrade. It is also because it operates with iOS 4 and takes advantage of its many of the superb features.

However, if you already have bought a 3GS, then you can continue use it. After all, 3g does not come cheap when compared to the 4G either. I love to stay updated with the latest phones. So I loved buying this the great gadget. But if you are like me, who is a passionate lover of hi-tech gadgets, then you simply don’t have an alternative. You may follow suit. The 3GS runs iOS 4, too, so you are not devoid of those benefits. If you want to see a clearer screen and have a knack for mobile videos, then you must definitely upgrade your phone. The tremendous first-weekend sales proved that Apple rules the roost, no matter what. And people love their gadgets.

As for speed, the iPhone 4 is faster. It’s often difficult to differentiate the speed between an iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS, but you can trust me, its definitely speedier almost at par with the iPad. I wrote in one of my earlier reviews, that at times you wont even feel the need for an iPad. It is so powerful. Some of the hottest gadget review sites online have said the following,

Gizmodo: “As a person who never really liked the round mound of a back in the 3GS, the sleeker, flatter, squarer design is super welcome.The metal buttons give it a heftier feel-less of a toy-than all previous generations. It feels sturdier than the 3GS, and much less plasticky. The closest analog to it would be the original iPhone, which is more square and heavy than its newer brothers.”

Engadget: “We’ll hand it to Apple, the phone is so thin it’s kind of mind-boggling. The 3GS by comparison looks bloated.”

Seven-sided Cube one of the top technology blogs on the internet has compared the Apple iPhone 4G with HTC EVO 4G.

Although EVO has a 8-megapixel camera, iphone is not far behind with 5 megapixels one. So come to think of it, this phone will also give you the mobile experience of an iPad as a bonus. Hope this review answers your question, why should you must upgrade to 4G.

Car Reviews: 2011 Jaguar XJ Luxury Car

No Comments



The 2011 Jaguar XJ is the British car manufacturer’s flagship car and is loaded with luxury and is the most technologically advanced XJ to date. The current model’s design, which was introduced for the 2010 model year, is a departure from the previous generations of XJ cars that have been around for decades. The new design is aimed to bring a younger audience to the brand.

The new design seems to have worked as the car has been getting many rave reviews from car websites and magazines; the design is very unique and can’t be mistaken for another car. The interior design is very contemporary with a very user friendly layout and ease of use in mind. The entire interior is covered by leather including the seats, the dashboard, the center console and even the door panels. Because of all this soft material and extra sound dampening materials, the Jag’s interior is extremely quiet and luxurious. The car comes with a 600 watt Bowers & Wilkins sound system and can hold up to 10 gigabytes of music on the hard-drive. The sound system is controlled through an eight inch touch screen LCD display which also controls the climate and the message seats. The same screen also acts as the navigation screen and can be used as a screen to watch movies (currently only available in the European models) and displays images from the rear view camera when in reverse gear.

On the exterior the Jaguar XJ has a very sleek and sporty look to it; the rear window is sloped like a sports car. It makes the car look good but it makes it very difficult to look out the back window when reversing, the reverse camera and parking sensors come in very handy.

The standard version of the 2011 Jaguar XJ comes with a 5.0 liter V8 engine that produces 385 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 380 pound-feet of torque at 3,500 rpm and is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted by paddles located on the steering wheel. The car can reach 0 to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds and is electronically limited to a top speed of 121 miles per hour. There is also a supercharged version of this car available which increased horsepower to 470 and 424 pound-feet of torque, making the 0 – 60 run in 4.9 seconds. The third and most powerful version is called the Supersport which ups the power to 510 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque.

The standard Jaguar XJ starts at a price of $72,700 and gets an EPA estimated fuel mileage of 16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 on the highway. The supercharged version starts at a price of $87,700 and gets 15 miles per gallon in the city and 21 on the highway. The Jaguar XJ Supersport starts at $113,200 and gets 15 miles per gallon in the city and 21 on the highway.
