If you haven’t seen the first video revealed by M80, demonstrating Samsung Instinct’s GPS capability vs iPhone’s you should do it now, to prepare for the last 4 clips where Samsung Instinct and Apple’s iPhone compete at Fast Internet, Live TV, Shoot Video and Music Download categories.
First I will show you the Fast Internet round and then we’ll discuss a bit about it:
Now, why does iPhone’s connectivity last so long? It seems frustrating!
From the specifications we find out that Apple iPhone is operating on AT&T’s EDGE network, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, automatically switching between EDGE and Wi-Fi to provide the user with the best connectivity options in the given conditions.
So about the EDGE connectivity: Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution classified as 2.75G, is used for packet switched applications including Internet connectivity. It has an increased data capacity and is good for high-speed data applications, but packet switched communication consists of routing blocks of data (packets) between nodes over data links shared with other traffic, and as in each of these network nodes the packets are queued or buffered, a variable delay is produced.
With EDGE, the data transfer speed reaches 236.8 kbit/s for 4 timeslots.
The EV-DO channel has a bandwidth of 1.25 MHz and the Revision A standard improves the latency increasing the rates on the forward link up to 3.1 Mbit/s and on reverse link up to 1.8 Mbit/s.
Now I’ll show you the video that teaches you how to watch Live TV on Samsung Instinct and on the Apple iPhone in parallel.
I think you got the idea.
And here’s how to shoot a video with both handsets:
I’m sure you got the idea this time too, but one of the most important features of a cell phone is music/video download capability. The iPhone gets its media from iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store so you’ll have to be in the right Wi-Fi hot spot to enable this, after which you can simply tap the iTunes button, this time a visible icon, and perform the following steps: browse, preview, buy and download, the same process that Samsung Instinct provides via Sprint Power Vision Network, but only if…
