Smart Phones Comparisons

Below is the excerpt from the report from Digital Trends on its Aple iPhone 4 vs. Samsung Captivate vs. Evo 4G article.

To see which smartphone delivers the best shot for $200 U.S., Digital Trends pits Apple’s iPhone 4 against iPhone 4 against Samsung’s Captivate and HTC’s Evo 4G.

Here's below the summary of its report:

In terms of display, Apple iPhone 4 is the winner.

The screens on all three phones equate to big, bigger and biggest, with 3.5 inches on the iPhone, 4.0 on the Captivate and 4.3 on the Evo 4G. So how does the smallest one win? Find out the details here: http://shopping.yahoo.com/articles/yshoppingarticles/410/apple-iphone-4-vs-samsung-captivate-vs-evo-4g/

In regards to connectivity, Evo 4G is the winner.

With both the Captivate and iPhone 4 sharing AT&T’s infamously hobbled 3G network, and the Evo wearing its first-4G-phone-in-America pin, this one’s a no-brainer. Besides the sheer speed, it’s also the only one that can double as a Wi-Fi router to share connectivity with other devices.

For the Rear Camera, Apple iPhone 4 is again the winner.

The 8-megapixel camera on the Evo 4G has more resolution than both the 5-megapixel iPhone 4 and 5-megapixel Captivate, and more manual search controls, too. But that’s only one part of the story. The iPhone 4 takes better pictures than either competitor.

For Videoconferencing application, iPhone 4 is the winner.

Front-facing cameras still remain a novelty in the smartphone world, but both the iPhone 4 and HTC Evo 4G offer them, while the Captivate owners are left out in the cold. At a technical level, the Evo 4G yet again offers more resolution: 1.3 megapixels to just 0.3 megapixels (VGA resolution) on the iPhone 4. But as we’ve learned from the previous category, that number isn’t everything.

When Battery Life was compared, there is a draw between Apple iPhone 4 and Samsung Captivate.

HTC’s Evo 4G immediately gets booted from the running here. The same 4G speeds that give it killer connectivity also kill the battery in a hurry, leaving it first to run out of gas when these three phones hit the road.

Playing it by the numbers doesn’t lead to any clear-cut conclusion between the remaining contenders. Samsung rates the Captivate for five hours and 50 minutes of talk time and 340 hours of standby, while Apple rates the iPhone for seven hours of chatting and 300 hours of standby, making the Captivate the standby champ and iPhone 4 the king of talk time. While we’re inclined to favor talk time over standby, battery life seemed to play out roughly equally on these two in our real-life tests, so Digital Trends is calling it a draw.

To make the story short, the winner for Portability is Samsung Captivate it the winner, for Speed, there’s again a draw between Apple iPhone 4 and Samsung Captivate, for the storage, Samsung Captivate is the winner.

And the “Overall Winner” is the Apple iPhone 4!

The Evo 4G made an impressive showing as the very first 4G phone back in June, but as you can see, it doesn’t hold up nearly as well under the microscope in other categories – at least when stacked against the best other smartphones in the world. The real fight here is between the iPhone 4 and Samsung Captivate.

VITAL C: Non-Acidic Vitamin C

For more than 10 months already, with God’s blessings and protection, none of our children was hospitalized because of the common children sicknesses (colds, coughs, allergies, etc.) which are normally part of children’s life as they’re growing up.

Unlike before, since the beginning of their lives, until the middle parts of last year, it’s normal for us to bring anyone of them or sometimes all of them to the hospital because of any of those common children’s sicknesses.

This very good development of their health was helped mainly by God’s blessings and protections. We are also taking a new kind of Vitamin C (non-acidic) – an alkaline Vitamin C, called Vital C.

In our closed observation, this Vital C really helped us a lot. When anyone of us already felt something which we knew that cough or cold is coming, we just double or even triple the dosage and then in the next day, everything is okay.

My own experience was when we were in the middle of our 3 days and four night holiday in Rayong, Thailand, I was already sneezing and coughing. I was so worried because it’s normal for us that if one is sick, then everybody will then be sickened few days later. Luckily that time, in the following day, I was very healthy again. What I did was just take one capsule every two hours. So, within 24 hours, I had consumed 12 capsules at 500 mg each capsule.

I am sharing this experience hoping that it would also help your family.

If you have any questions regarding this Vital C, then just leave your comment below. I will answer you within 24 hours.

CFC General Assembly at AIT

These are some of the pictures we had taken after our CFC general assembly held at AIT today.

Right after the talk about Financial Stewardships at around 4 P.M., all of us had partaken a very heavy and delicious meal - an early dinner- near the session hall at the AIT center, beside the swimming pool during the fellowship part of the activity.

While waiting for the next special event of the day "the 25th Happy Wedding Anniversary of our CFC brother Vic and his wife, sister Emily", we were resting and taking pictures at the lobby of the AIT center.

At 6:00 P.M., Art and Laarni, our previous household leaders, together with their son Vince, brought us to Pinehurst Golf Club Restaurant where the said special occasion was held.
