As of right now, employees of Apple are no longer allowed to use their vacation hours in an attempt to brace for an upcoming event that has not yet been named by Apple. Could this be the famed launch of the Verizon iPhone? Some experts have speculated so, but at this time there is no hard evidence to suggest that this could be the case.

The freezing of all vacation hours will reportedly start at the end of the month in January, and will apply to all retail employees that do not have seniority with the company. The fact that they are only locking down the retail employees suggests that they are expecting a huge retail release around that time. With the iPad already out, and no other devices announced, there is really nothing else that it could be other than a new unlocked iPhone 4 launch.

This also means that Apple could be expecting to announce the new launch at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, where all eyes will be on Apple to see if they make any huge announcements. Although they have given no clue that they are planning on making the Verizon iPhone announcement, it seems to make the most sense for the company, logically.

A Verizon iPhone launch announcement would pretty much overshadow any other announcements that come at the Consumer Electronics Show. With the freezing of employee vacations coming just a bit into the future, it will be interesting to see what kind of announcement they end up making. A freezing of employee vacations in retail is only something that is done when they know that something time consuming is on the horizon. The Verizon iPhone 4 unlocked launch would effectively be the biggest tech announcement of the year for the most popular device in the world. The announcement has been long awaited and will satisfy many users.

HTC unlocked phones has made another mammoth announcement, just in time for the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show. The HTC EVO 4G will be receiving another model of the phone, and this time on a completely new carrier. The phone will feature a 4.3 inch touch screen display and will be called the Inspire 4G, running on a 4G network provided by AT&T.

The announcement comes just days before the Consumer Electronics Show. Many companies have opted to make their announcements prior to the show to build anticipation for the booths and event that will take place at the show. Along with the excellent LCD display, the phone will also offer an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 1 GHZ CPU that should enable it to run just about any app available. It will also utilize the Android 2.2 operating system that features HTC’s customized Sense UI, which allows users to use a “Find my Phone” feature that is very similar to the feature that was recently released by Apple for their unlocked iPhone 4.

HTC continues to impress in the days leading up to the Consumer Electronics Show, and has made a number of huge announcements including the development of their own tablet device.

It will be interesting to see how much hype this announcement receives, especially considering that the phone has already been released. The upgraded features should draw a few new users over to the phone, but the fact that it will be released on a new carrier with 4G capabilities is undoubtedly the biggest draw of the device.

The Inspire 4G is a huge upgrade for a device that has already been immensely popular throughout its history. HTC might be the underdog in the saturated mobile market, but they continue to impress with wonderful deals and excellent devices that push the ever expanding envelope for the company.

As per one of the leading unlocked cell phone blog site, with the success of the mobile app market, it is no surprise that Apple would want to expand a similar structure to their desktop systems as well. The company offered hands on for their new Mac OS X 10.6.6 operating system which is featured in the App Store for Macs.

When you first open up the store, you will have to accept a new terms and agreements package that does limit your rights a little bit more than the previous offering - but not too much. You enter your Apple ID and password and then you are taken to the marketplace.

As far as layout goes, it is very much like that of the unlocked iphone 4 App Store. Similarly, there are buttons that allow you to see featured apps, the top apps across all charts, different categories, and then the apps that you have previously purchased as well as the updates that are available for them.

To make a purchase in the marketplace all you have to do is click the button that has the price of each of the apps. Overall, it has been very easy to use so far and has ran very smooth. This will allow users to install many of their favorite games from their Apple devices right on their desktop computer including popular titles like Angry Birds, and other utilities that would normally be reserved for your mobile device.

Although you will still have to purchase programs for the Mac outside of the app store, the ease of purchasing new apps for your desktop provided by this new update should be welcomed by most users. It is not currently clear if Apple wills tart to offer more advanced apps and programs for the desktop through their store, but either way this is a very good introduction to a system that is based on the success of their previous app stores.

Although the announcement comes a few days after their predicted January 1st 10 million sales mark, it appears that Samsung has been able to do so in the days following the turn of the New Year. They were at a total of 9.3 million sales in the middle of December and estimates stated that they would not be reaching the 10 million mark until later this month, but it appears that the holiday season was good to Samsung, allowing them to put out a total of 10 million Galaxy S devices to their users since the mobile device was first released.

The sales figure was very impressive, and shows that Samsung is a legit competitor for Apple and the unlocked iPhone 4. It is the only mobile device other than the iPhone to reach that sales mark in the modern day mobile industry. The only other phone to hit the mark was the Samsung Star. The Star was able to hit the mark in a total of six months making it the fastest selling Samsung device ever released, but the Samsung Galaxy S appears as if it may have more longevity than the Star did.

The Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S is sold on most of the largest mobile providers in the world so it should presumably continue to sell well for quite some time, especially with all of the great press that Samsung will receive for reaching the 10 million sales mark. The popularity of the Samsung S can be attributed to the great processor, excellent marketing and customer service that Samsung has come to be known for in the mobile space. Recent rumors have stated that Samsung could be looking to release a dual core model of the S sometime this year, hopefully that comes to fruition and continues to boost the sales of the device.

Have you been experiencing some trouble with your iPhone alarm? Now that the new year is here it is time to get back to a normal schedule and stop your late night partying and get up early in the morning. However, that doesn’t look like it will be so easy for users that rely on their unlocked iPhone 4 to wake them up in the morning. Since the new calendar year turned, it appears that many iPhone alarms stopped working all together.

A number of reports were released that said that the problem would be solved on January third, but there has been no adjustments made that can be seen so far. Some users have reported that their alarms have continued to work, while others report that their alarm rings at the wrong time of day or does not ring at all.

Apple will be forced to put out a quick patch to solve the issue as many people rely on their iPhone’s to wake them up in the morning instead of the traditional alarm clock. It will be interesting to see how quickly the company is able to put together a patch that solves all of the issues. When the patch does come out, if you would like your alarm to work, it is recommended that you have upgraded to the latest version of iOS so that the entire process goes as painlessly as possible for you.

Until the issue is completely fixed, you might want to use the bedside alarm that you threw in the closet a few years ago when you bought your first iPhone 4 unlocked. Apple has not been quick to solve the issue so far, and although it is a minor one it might be a bit more complicated than was originally thought since they have not released a patch at this time. Hopefully they are able to push out a patch that fixes the issue sometime in the coming days for those of us whose phones were not fixed automatically on the 3rd of January.

As per one of the leading unlocked cell phone blog site, although Apple is not typically known for varying their devices too much from one design to another to keep some continuity, It appears that they will be making a number of changes to the second version of the highly popular iPad. A source in China has stated that the company is already working on the second generation of the iPad and that the case will have a new design compared to the first model. The new case will be just a bit smaller and will measure 239 mm x 186 mm, which is a bit smaller than Apple’s current case which is just a few millimeters larger.

Although there is no way to verify this story, the fact that it was released with such exact stats would lead most to believe that it is probably true. The first generation of the iPad has been highly successful, paving the way for other tablet devices that are looking to enter a market that is getting more competitive by the day.

The iPad 2 will also have wide range speakers, according to the report. Apple has been quick to jump on an upgrade for their first tablet device. This is probably because the company has seen the onslaught of incoming competition with advanced features, and are looking to ensure that they are able to retain their current market share.

It will be interesting to see what changes about the device in the iPad 2. The first version was highly successful and changed the mobile industry forever with a simple announcement. The second version will hopefully be a huge upgrade over the first version in the same way that the unlocked iPhone 4 received a sizable update on its second release. The tablet marketplace has proven to be large enough to be considered a subsidiary to the mobile market in itself.

The Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant was a phone that was touted by many as the next potential competitor for the iPhone. Although many doubted that the phone would reach the level that it has, the 9.3 million mark that was announced today places the phone among some very elite competition.

The company first announced in October that they had sold more than 7 million units of the phone across the globe. They also predicted that the fun would sell more than 10 million by the new year, which seems to be a mark that they are going to miss, but needless to say, the numbers that they have reached are still very impressive.

The Galaxy S is by far the most successful phone that Samsung has placed on the market. The fact that they are going to fall below their original projections shows that perhaps the sales of slowed, but the overall number is high enough to earn the applause of anyone who follows the mobile industry.

The phone is the most popular Android device in the world, making it the only real legitimate iPhone competitor. Although the iPhone 4 unlocked has sold substantially more, the Galaxy S is Android’s shining star, rising above the expectations and showing that Samsung can create a phone that can compete with the best on the market.

This is also a victory for Google, who has been investing heavily in Samsung devices in recent years. Their decision to go with the Galaxy S paid off in the long run, and the phone has grown to be the most impressive of the Android offerings. When it was originally released, many complained that it looked too much like an iPhone, but those complaints have dissipated as the usability of the phone has won users over.

With CES just on the horizon, a lot of announcements are coming down the pipeline that could change the face of the cell phone industry. One recent rumor is that Microsoft will be announcing an upcoming ARM compatible version of their OS Windows Phone 7 like LG C900 unlocked. The Consumer Electronics show is a hotbed for all of the newest technology, and is the perfect place for Microsoft to make an announcement as large as this one. The new OS will run on ARM CPU architecture, and will be created to run on devices that have batteries including on netbooks and upcoming tablet devices.

This is a huge move and shows that Microsoft themselves are looking to break into the tablet industry, where Apple has already entered and more companies are following suit. Instead of waiting to jump in head first as they did with mobile, Microsoft is attacking at the source. With only a few weeks between them and their originally release of the Windows Phone 7 Operating System.

Some have speculated that this announcement could be the Windows 8 release announcement that was rumored not too long ago. Although there has been no confirmation from Microsoft that they are working on a new version of Windows, this shows that they will probably have to develop some sort of technology that is specifically designed to run tablet applications, as they often function slightly differently than they do on normal smart devices.

With the success of the Apple unlocked iphone 4, most guessed that Microsoft would be quick to follow suit and enter that market for themselves. Now, instead of creating their own tablets, it looks like they will go back to their roots and what made them prosperous in the beginning; operating systems. Giving users the ability to easily navigate and use the utilities they provide is something that set Windows apart int he 90’s, and they are hoping that it will in the twenty-teens as well.

The REALTOR and unlocked iPhone 4 application is now on the marketplace and is available for download. The app, which was created by the Canadian Real Estate Association will allow you to look at all of the different properties in your area that are currently on the market. The app uses a GOS to show you the map, and pinpoints the locations of the homes or properties that are for sale.

The app also comes with a number of different features that realtors or those looking to purchase properties may find useful. The ability to contact the agent that is responsible for the sale of the property is something that is very important if you are looking to purchase a new home, and this app makes it as simple as a touch of the screen.

The app will be a popular one, especially with the economy the way that it is. The ability to stay up to date on all of the listings in the area that you are looking for is very useful. The Realtor.com  App also allows you to filter the results that you get on the properties, allowing you to only look for properties that are within your price range, square footage or number of bedrooms that you set.

The iphone 4 unlocked Realtor app will probably be duplicated by other smaller companies in the United States. An app that allows agents to add their listings to an application that can be searched any time of the day is something that would certainly help them to secure the sale of the home, so you would imagine that it would be supported both by buyers as well as those that are involved with the selling process. It will be interesting to see what other countries and areas adopt this idea and use it to help stimulate some sales in areas that have had a hard time during the recession.

The TimmyMe app will now work with the Unlocked BlackBerry Bold 9780, a device that had previously not been able to use the app. The app will allow you to find the closest Tim Hortons location in your area with just the click of a button. The restaurant has been popular in Canada for quite some time and for that reason the app has gained popularity in recent years as well. It is nice to see that they are increasing the capabilities of the app, and making it work with more devices. The app has received a lot of downloads, but has not been available for every device that runs on the BlackBerry software.

The app will also allow you to save orders through a  notepad. When it was first released, the app would only show you the nearest location to you, but was recently updated to allow you to take a look at the ten closest, so if you are heading somewhere nearby in the area you will always have a Tim Hortons within reach.

The app was also recently expanded to the iPhone 4 unlocked on operating systems, where it has also become immensely popular. The app will probably spawn many like it for different types of businesses because of its ease of use and its quick rise to popularity in the app marketplaces across various platforms.

Hopefully they will continue to expand on the number of devices that the app will work with. You would think that with the popularity of the app and all of the new business it could potentially generate, that they would want to continually add new devices. More updates are on the horizon for the application, and hopefully the upcoming features that they add will give you more options and look up locations in other areas.
