One of the key selling points of the phone is its 4.3 inch SUPER AMOLED Plus display, producing sharper images, brighter colours and altogether stunning visuals. Its Dual Core application processor means that the phone runs smoothly, whether you are browsing the internet or running one of the many apps now available for download from the Android store or offered by your network. The User Interface has been redesigned to run more efficiently, allowing you to navigate the phone with simple touches. Multi-tasking is also less glitch and won’t freeze up the phone as it often did its predecessor.

These are technical features, and there are many more to explore – the improved camera, social networking, applications and music player – but the phone also has a lot of aesthetic appeal. Continuing the trend of making phones slimmer and lighter, the Galaxy S II takes slim to the next level in its design, unbelievably easy to grip and keep hold of with its non-slip battery cover. Available on contracts starting at £35 a month available Sim-free for £519.99, the phone costs a pretty penny but has also been deemed worth the expense by the majority of reviewers.

But one area in which they had very little success is the area of mobile phone production. Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson was, at the time, the third largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world but had fallen on hard times. It was this scenario that led to the merger of the two companies in order to finally crack the mobile phone market and ten years down the line it is evident that this venture has been extremely successful, with Sony Ericsson becoming one of the most popular producers of mobile technology in the world.

Along the way the company have created some truly landmark phones that will be remembered for a long time, here are a few of them to make sure this is the case.

Sony Ericsson’s success was by no means instant and the first few years of their partnership were pretty average at best. To many, their recovery was based on the success of their T610 phone; one of the first mobile phones released globally to have a built in camera, Bluetooth and a colour screen; all features that are now thought of as necessities, so it could be easily argued that the T610 was one of the most influential mobile phones ever. It certainly was one of the most popular Sony Ericsson handsets in existence, selling millions of copies since its release in 2003.

Sony Ericsson built on the success of the T610 but could not have been truly said to be one of the market leaders until the launch of their Walkman brand of phones. These phones not only featured the usual high quality of camera that people had come to expect from Sony Ericsson, but also a high quality MP3 player so that users could keep their music collection on their phone’s 2GB memory.

The latest truly great phone off the Sony Ericsson production line is the Xperia X10. This phone is Sony Ericsson’s best smartphone yet. Operating on the Android 2.1 system the X10 has plenty of features that make it stand out from most of the competition. This phone shows that Sony Ericsson has just as bright a future as their past.

Although the era is said to be of 3G, Samsung has adopted a more moderate approach at the start as these models are simple as compared to the touch screen trend. Samsung has an individuality and its own fan following. According to its high officials it is said that phones are made according to the increasing trend of texting and twittering among US citizens. The phones are also launched first in the US and will be offered in other countries in the third or fourth quarter of 2010.

Features : The Samsung A687 Strive offers a sliding tray with a QWERTY keyboard to offer. This step was taken as many phones now a days are touch screen and the users are not yet satisfied with their texting feature as touch screen are too sensitive and it becomes difficult to write messages. It has a bright screen to support up to 1600 by 1200 pixels. The screen size is 2.6 inch which is quite good for a cell phone of this type. Samsung also claims to overcome the defect in sliding of its previous sets and these new phones are free from those faults. Another thing promised is the keys will not crack as these are designed and made with a focus for text users.

Design : It is not a very different looking set as same style phones have already been in the market. But for Samsung lovers it is good to see QWERTY board phone that gives first look of a touch screen phone. The material of the phone is also not very expensive and gives a low cost look.

Affordability : The phone is very cheap and is worth the low price as it is durable and reliable because Samsung does not compromise on the working and performance quality of the phone. The phone is considered to be cheap as compared to the other class of mobile phones currently in market and offers a good option for the teenagers to get a quality brand product under such reasonable prices. The phone has only one thing that disturbs the customer even after so good features and  that is camera of 2.1 mega pixel. It does not offer 3G and no Wi-Fi connectivity. However it has upgraded software that offers fast speed browsing and you can easily upload your pictures to the social networking sites.

The phone is yet available to US customers only and Samsung plans to introduce it to the other markets in different regions in the third or fourth quarter of 2010. Samsung is a trusted brand and it remains to be seen, where this phone takes Samsung in terms of popularity.

A Brief History
For the longest time in the past the PC was top dog, outdoing its far simpler and more ancient competition which seemed to be fading into the pages of history. With more modern programs and gadgets in its arsenal, the PC almost wiped out the popularity of the Mac entirely back in early 2000. Then came Apple’s powerful campaign to re-establish the Mac as a staple in both pop culture and the modern home.

Since Apple began to revitalize the Mac, it has surpassed the PC many a time both in “cool” factor as well as elegance. Macs have become more sleek and user-friendly, as well as more compact and powerful than they have ever been. For this reason the race between these two systems has now become a nail biter.

Playing to Their Individual Strengths
Both the Mac and PC companies are aware of their respective strengths and capitalize on them effectively. The Mac is the leader in creative programs like Photoshop and Final Cut Pro, which are preferable for anyone in the media or entertainment industry. For this reason most advertising houses and filmmakers will not falter in their loyalty to their trusty Macs. The Mac creators also know that because of Apple’s iPod and the popularity the company gained through that little device, they have a solid place in pop culture and exploit that as can be seen in their “I’m a Mac” campaign.

Personal Computer on the other hand, are more adept at running word processing programs like office and word. Also, because they were on top for so long, most people and businesses are used to the way they work and will stay loyal for this reason. Most corporate companies will therefore have PCs in their offices as they are the most user-friendly and can run office programs the most efficiently. PC marketers therefore tote their products as a serious computer, rather than the more playful, juvenile Mac.

Who is winning the Battle Right Now?
For the moment, it seems as if the Mac is on top, owing to its pop culture appeal as well as the fact that it is the chosen product of design and media professionals the world over and that you do not have to buy any anti-virus software for it. This is probably why the new MacBook Pro MB990LL/A is the top selling laptop at present.

With its large screen display, sleek good looks, impressive video processing and output, and a formidable-sized hard drive, it is no wonder why it has gained the popularity that it has this year so far. Following close behind though is the new HP Pavilion DV6-2162NR. This PC is also pleasing to the eye as well as packed with a powerful 500GB hard drive, great entertainment capabilities and all the bells and whistles one could hope for in a modern laptop. With both sides turning out amazing products this year, it certainly seems as if this battle is far from over.

Its 6 celled battery is a great provision and brings up to 5 hours of run time. It is light weight and is just around 1.25 kgs in weight.The U210 is based on MSI’s Wind U200. It runs on AMD Athlon with Neo MV-40 1.6 Ghz.It also works powerfully on an Intel CULV processor.

This makes it one of the most ultra compact netbooks that you will ever come across. It has an ATI Radeon X1250 GPU. Its display is also about 1366 x 768 resolutions with the greatest WiFi system ever. It also comes with a 1.3 megapixel webcam that you would love.

Sony fans would no longer have to look backwards with Linux tying up with it and bringing a whole new bunch of alternative operating resources. However, some of the Play Station items would not be featured in the new release of Sony.

The new Sony article would have purchased nothing anyway with Linux for slow pressure mesh up with the Linux for Play Station 2 developer community about to be bringing some really interesting features. There are costs of maintenance as well as major hardware support received if one is accessing the phone. This hardware saves a lot of money when being invested upon would brings in a really bright picture from the whole status, on its uses.
