We’ve heard a lot recently about the idea that Apple may release a cheaper budget-priced iPhone alongside their next-gen iPhone this year, from a variety of sources with varying levels of credibility. A new report from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (who is among the most well-connected and accurate Apple analysts), however, aims to share additional details about Apple’s plans.

According to Kuo (as reported by AppleInsider), the device will feature the same 4-inch Retina display as the iPhone 5, will come in a variety of new colors, will feature a unique case material made from plastic and fiberglass, and will be “between 0.4 and 0.6 millimeters thick”. The material is intended to make the casing thinner, stronger, and lighter compared to similar all-plastic materials.

Kuo also notes that the device will be manufactured by Apple’s long-time manufacturing partner Foxconn. Some units will also be assembled by Pegatron, using casings manufactured by Green Point. Previously, Kuo has also stated that Apple will also release a significantly updated next-gen “iPhone 5S” with a built-in fingerprint scanner.

Now that the Galaxy S4 has finally rolled out, loyal but feuding fans of the Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5 can’t help but compare the three devices either out of curiosity or to confirm that what they have is the best in the land. Much has already been said and compared between the Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5. With the new Galaxy S4 entering the picture, the race to the best smartphone in the world has never been more interesting.

Since the Galaxy S4 is an enhanced version of the Galaxy S3, features such as the OS, processor, display, resolution, glass, pixel density, camera, and battery have notable differences. Both run on Jelly Bean though the S3 runs on Android 4.2.2 while the S3 runs on Android 4.1. About the processor, the S4 has 1.6GHz Octa-core Exynos processor or 1.9GHz Quad-core Qualcomm processor while the S3 has Samsung Exynos 4 or Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960.

To make the long story short, the enhanced Galaxy S4 is a better smartphone to beat especially when it has to be compared with Apple’s iPhone 5. Screen-wise, it has the biggest size among the three. Moreover, it has the speediest processor (Apple has dual-core Apple A6), the highest-resolution camera (Apple’s is 8MP), and the most powerful battery (against Apple’s 1,434 mAh). Of course, more technical benchmark tests should be able to confirm this in no time.

As Samsung is gearing up for the launch of its new flagship device, marketing chief Phil Schiller from Apple expressed some spicy comments on an unnamed device which he describes as having fragmentation feature and competitors of Android usually criticize such.

According to Phil Schiller, customers who are switching to Android would get it as a free replacement depending on its availability in a featured phone. However, they don’t get the same experience as one gets in an iPhone. Once you bring out an Android device from its package, you need to initially sign up to at least nine different accounts in order to get the same experience that one gets from an iOS. They cannot get a seamless performance from the device.

Furthermore, Schiller brought out some data showing that customers who have switched to Apple’s iPhone from Android increased by as much as four times during the last quarter of the previous year. There’s even a survey from the research company known as ChangeWave which showed that around 75 percent of iPhone customers say that they are ‘totally satisfied’ with their smartphone as compared to comments coming from about 50 percent of Android users.

Apple’s iPhone make up at least 19% of the total shipments of smartphone around the globe in 2012. Android, on the other hand, gets around 70% of the smartphone shipped globally.

We all know that drinking and driving do not go along well with each other. Driving under the influence of alcohol can certainly lead to driver committing mistakes which can then turn to fatal accidents or crashes.

Thanks to technology and creative minds, there is an add-on device to a smartphone that will tell whether one has already reached levels of intoxication. This device is the Breathometer which a compact device or more like a keychain-sized gadget that introduces the breathalyzer into the smartphone.

According to Charles Yim, creator of the breathalyzer, the concept behind it came about when he was going out with friends and wanted to confirm or know that they are able to drive home safely. He wanted the device concept to be easy so that almost anyone can use it.

The Breathometer is relatively simple to use. It basically connects to the headphone jack of any iOS or Android smartphone. What users need to have is the accompanying application (app) for it. And once it is secured into the smartphone, user then breathes into it and his/her blood alcohol-concentration is registered. If one is already drunk and over the legal limit, the application then suggests alternative modes of transportation near the location of user.

Though the device is being correlated to heavy drinkers out there, it is actually not. It was primarily created in order to help or aid everyone in being responsible and not taking bad decisions after being intoxicated. Moreover, it is also marketed for people who are keen on safety and the risks associated to people under the influence of alcohol.

For this handy device to be successful and help a lot of our comrades who just love to drink, it currently has a funding campaign on Indiegogo. The project has already raised about $ 17,000 (in just one day since it was made available in Wednesday) and is $ 8,000 shy of its targeted $ 25,000 goal.

By the way, for $ 20, backers can get the device with shipping slated by January 2014. Of course, the bigger you contribute means that you get an earlier shipment and you get to choose color. Those who are generous enough to give $ 500 receive a lifetime membership and these includes first production devices every time the company creates a new one, T-shirt and two (2) tickets to the company’s party launch that features LMFAO in San Francisco.
