Yet another superb decoration from Goldstriker!
The company has just announced its new and exquisite iPhone Black Night special edition created by Stuart Hughes for the elite.



You can recognize these iPhone 16GB from the front bezel and rear logo struck with 24ct gold, with an adaptable finish to match any car you prefer.
Included in the Elite collection, iPhone Black Night is also part of the Bentley diamond black metallic range and is available at a price of £699.95.

Soon, Goldstriker will unveil two new special iPhones inspired by the Jaguar XK winter gold and Lamborghini Gallardo's balloon white models.

A new Apple patent application called Dual sided trackpad appeared on the Internet and it seems to describe the future iPhone model, an iPhone 2.0, which looks better than the actual model if we look at its design: a clamshell.
Of course, the classic candybar concept phone is one everyone’s taste but this new drawings show something more modern and cooler, still keeping the known iPhone functions and technologies.



The designer wanted to separate the capacitive touch sensor array from the display creating two different units practically, one being the transparent panel integrating the touch sensor array.
This way both sides would be touch-sensitive and when you close it the handset becomes a classic full multi-touchscreen beloved iPhone.
How would you use it?

To dial a number you draw it on the trackpad or the rotational dial may appear on the screen so you would rotate it sliding your finger on the trackpad.
When open, the transparent unit should display the T9 keypad with other symbols, and this can be done by polarizing the number and symbol markings seen only when the trackpad is open.



Another cool feature is that both units can be kept touch-active and you could enable the 3D gestures: the XY axis would be on the one side and the Z on the other.

There are many interpretations for this patent but we’d better wait for some public statements from Apple which we hope they’ll come out in the near future.

If you have an iPhone you should consider getting one for your girlfriend too and I can recommend you the beautiful iPhone Princess Plus from Peter Aloisson, the Austrian designer and jeweler specialized in designing cool luxury handsets made of gold, diamond and other precious durable materials.



The iPhone Princess Plus is his current project meant to bring out a splendid and sophisticated handset and in the same time the world’s most expensive iPhone.

It is made of 18-carat white gold with rhodium trim, 138 princess cut and 180 brilliant cut encrusted diamonds, and these precious stones totalizing between 16.50 – 17.75 carats of the best quality LC (IF), color TW F, pricing this phone at $189,444 excluding 20% VAT and shipping costs, but of course, if you afford it the other taxes wouldn’t matter.

StatCounter, the invisible web tracking tool configured in web sites for tracking real-time traffic stats, published a report after gathering statistic information about the number of Internet users surfing from their mobile device, and took into account the two of the world’s most popular cell phone brands: iPhone and Nokia.



This research had a sample of 371 million page views globally, from which 71 million were coming from US and 14 million from UK, during December 7 - March 8.
The results show that iPhone is a leader in the US while in UK Nokia is considered the most popular mobile Internet browser, followed by iPhone.
Now let’s see these statistics in detail!

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

In March, the famous iPhone took 0.06% of the total Internet browser market in the UK, while Nokia had 0.15%, and in other words, iPhone has three times the Internet browser market share of BlackBerry in UK, which has 0.02%.
Sony Ericsson has 0.01% of the UK market and iPhone with iTouch have 0.9% of the UK market, all these in March.
On the US front, iPhone leads with 0.18% of the market while Nokia has only 0.01%.



But if we look at the global statistics StatCounter shows that Nokia is the number one with 0.25% in March and the iPhone comes immediately after, with 0.06%.

"It would appear that iPhone is more than living up to its claims of being a user friendly Internet browser, unlike many other mobile phones," said Aodhan Cullen, founder and CEO of StatCounter.

Why do all people say that iPhone is the world’s most advanced mobile phone?
Well, first because of its full multi-touch-sensitive display. It has a smart interface which allows you to make a call by simply tapping a phone number and this capability is enabled by an advanced and sophisticated technology that includes a standard TFT LCD display on which there are three more important layers: the electrical field, the capacitive touch panel and the protective shield.



In addition the iPhone uses the most advanced software ever engineered and it implies more than 300 patents which places it with years ahead of all the other phones existent on the market.

Apple, the manufacturer, made available two iPhone models to satisfy even the business professionals providing them up to 16GB of internal Flash memory in which they can store all their significant data plus pictures, videos, music and other entertainment sources.

An iPhone has a large 3.5-inch wide display with multi-touch input, a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels at 163 ppi and 16 million colors, on which you can see multiple languages and characters simultaneously.

The quad-band mobile handheld supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g wireless connectivity, EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, and integrates a 2MP camera with video recording capability.
It supports AAC, Protected AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible, Apple Lossless, AIFF and WAV audio formats and it plays music with a frequency response ranging from 20Hz to 20,000Hz.



With the built-in proximity sensor it turns off automatically and besides this it uses an accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate.
It is a mobile phone with no card slot, no 3G but with GPRS, WLAN, USB 2.0, and many applications like e-mail for communication, HTML browsing via Safari, Google Maps, widgets support, PIM with caledar/to-do list, TV out, voice memo and handsfree.

As the iPhone charges via a built-in Li-Ion battery, it comes with a dock connector and you can use it for Internet connectivity for up to six hours, for listening music up to 24 hours and eight hours maximum in talk time.

The iPhone is working with both Mac and PC systems just that you need to have a USB 2.0 port, Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later and iTunes 7.5 or later in case you are using a Mac, or Windows Vista Home Premium/Business/Enterprise/Ultimate, Windows XP Home/Professional with SP2, iTunes and USB 2.0, for your PC.



For the 8GB model there was established a price of $399 while iPhone 16GB costs with just $100 more, so it would be more convenient to opt for the second enhanced version which is also more cost-effective.
