The Difference Between  IPhone And BlackBerry Bold & Storm


Since the introduction of Apple's popular iPhone, the smartphone market has become increasingly competitive. As a result of this increased competition, the consumer has benefited, with an array of smartphone options available to the general public, each with its own potential advantages and disadvantages over the competition. Three of the more popular smartphones, Apple's iPhone 3GS, RIM's BlackBerry Storm and RIM's BlackBerry Bold each boasts an impressive array of features worthy of consideration.

Network

RIM's BlackBerry Storm is offered exclusively on the Verizon Wireless Network in the United States. RIM's BlackBerry Bold and Apple's iPhone 3GS are exclusive to AT&T. Choosing one of these three smartphone will largely depend on your preference of carrier and geographic location as each network's coverage varies throughout the United States. Although these exclusivity deals have a specific time frame, it is not uncommon for a carrier to offer a device exclusively for as long as it is available.

Battery Life

RIM's BlackBerry Bold offers users 4.3 hours of talk time and 10.5 days of standby time. The BlackBerry Storm, by comparison, offers an impressive 5.5 hours of talk time and 15 days of standby. Apple's iPhone 3GS falls somewhere between, offering roughly 5 hours of talk time when using the 3G network and 12.5 days of standby battery life. Both BlackBerry models have user-replaceable batteries, the iPhone does not.

User Interface

The BlackBerry Bold boasts a full QWERTY keyboard and trackball, situated directly below the screen. Apple's iPhone 3GS and BlackBerry Storm each rely on a touchscreen interface for most functions, although the Storm uses actual buttons to place and end a call and the iPhone has a single "home" button. Both the iPhone and Storm allow users a full QWERTY keyboard through the touchscreen interface which actively learns the user's typing habits and adjusts accordingly.

Camera

Apple's iPhone 3GS recently improved upon the original iPhone's passable camera, increasing the megapixel resolution to 3. However, Apple recently included its proprietary "tap to focus" technology, which significantly improves picture quality. BlackBerry Storm's camera has a slightly higher resolution of 3.2 megapixels and utilizes auto-focus and image stabilization technology. BlackBerry Bold is easily the weakest in terms of resolution with only 2 megapixels of resolution.

Storage

Apple's iPhone 3GS is easily the best option as far as storage, as it is available with up to 32 Gigabytes of storage space for applications, music, movies and more. BlackBerry Storm has 1GB of memory built in, but is packaged with an 8 GB micro SD card and supports up to 16GB. BlackBerry bold also has 1 GB of on board memory and can accept up to 16 GB of micro SD memory.

What Is Melting Points

Most organic compounds have melting points below 200 ºC. Some decompose before melting, a few sublime, but a majority undergo repeated melting and crystallization without any change in molecular structure. When a pure crystalline compound is heated, or a liquid cooled, the change in sample temperature with time is roughly uniform. However, if the solid melts, or the liquid freezes, a discontinuity occurs and the temperature of the sample remains constant until the phase change is complete. This behavior is shown in the diagram on the right, with the green segment representing the solid phase, light blue the liquid, and red the temperature invariant liquid/solid equilibrium. For a given compound, this temperature represents its melting point (or freezing point), and is a reproducible constant as long as the external pressure does not change. The length of the horizontal portion depends on the size of the sample, since a quantity of heat proportional to the heat of fusion must be...

What Is Atomic And Molecular Orbitals

A more detailed model of covalent bonding requires a consideration of valence shell atomic orbitals. For second period elements such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, these orbitals have been designated 2 s , 2p x , 2p y   & 2p z . The spatial distribution of electrons occupying each of these orbitals is shown in the diagram below.   Very nice displays of orbitals may be found at the following sites: J. Gutow, Univ. Wisconsin Oshkosh R. Spinney, Ohio State  M. Winter, Sheffield University The valence shell electron configuration of carbon is 2 s 2 , 2p x 1 , 2p y 1  & 2p z 0 . If this were the configuration used in covalent bonding, carbon would only be able to form two bonds. In this case, the valence shell would have six electrons- two shy of an octet. However, the tetrahedral structures of methane and carbon tetrachloride demonstrate that carbon can form four equivalent bonds, leading to the desired octet. In order to explain this covalent bonding,...

Uses OF Alkynes In Nature And Medicine

-
Alkynes in nature and medicine According to Ferdinand Bohlmann, the first naturally occurring acetylenic compound, dehydromatricaria ester, was isolated from an Artemisia  species in 1826 . Polyynes, a subset of this class of natural products, have been isolated from a wide variety of plant species, cultures of higher fungi, bacteria, marine sponges, and corals.  Some acids like  tariric acid  contains an alkyne group. Diynes and triynes, species with the linkage RC ≡ C-C ≡ CR' and RC ≡ C-C ≡ C-C ≡ CR' respectively, occur in certain plants ( Ichthyothere , Chrysanthemum ,  Cicuta ,  Oenanthe  and other members of the  Asteraceae  and  Apiaceae  families).  Some examples are  cicutoxin , oenanthotoxin ,  falcarinol  and  carotatoxin . These compounds are highly bioactive, e.g. as  nematocides .  1-Phenylhepta-1,3,5-triyne is illustrative of a naturally occurring triyne. Alkynes occ...
