October 11, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Some tests have revealed that the iPhone 4S A5 processor could be clocked at about 800MHz. In a time when we are starting to see smartphones with 1.5GHz CPUs you might be thinking Apple has made a mistake here.

October 10, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Last year Orange and T-Mobile combined forces to create one large network. The company is called Everything Everywhere although T-Mobile and Orange are still keeping their own brands within that name. Late last year Everything Everywhere began sharing 2G connections across networks allowing registered users on either network to automatically hop over to the other network when signal strength was bad on their own network.
