Both phones have similarities and differences; the similarities being in the battery life and design. Ease of use got equal votes and largely relied on what people preferred. Some found the larger screen of the iPhone better and did not mind sacrificing the physical keyboard for the touch screen keyboard. While others loved the BlackBerry QWERTY keyboard on the Blackberry phones, because they claim it made typing simple and that it was a fair sacrifice for a smaller screen.

As far as user friendly applications are concerned, the iPhone clearly leads the front. There are thousands of applications available and though there are a couple of hundred applications which are pretty lousy, overall the iPhone applications are far better than those of the Blackberry.

Users tend to drop their phones accidentally and butter fingers like myself do that frequently. Designed for the road warriors, the Blackberry is by far more durable than the iPhone. The motion sensibility and the touchscreen of the iPhone remain unparallel. But the touchscreen has made the iPhone quite sensitive and as long as you do not drop it face down, it usually survives the fall. The iPhone however has come out with several protective cases that will more than protect your iPhone from any serious damage.

The advantage of the iPhones touchscreen and motion sensibility becomes evident with gaming. Comparing the iPhone and Blackberry in terms of gaming is like comparing a bicycle with a supersonic jet. Playing games on the iPhone is the best you can find in a cell phone and this is just one reason for the iPhones popularity. A variety of games can be played on it and the graphics are simply amazing. Blackberry lags far behind in this department.

When it comes to security, the fact that the most powerful man on the Earth uses a Blackberry Phone speaks volumes of its security features; the iPhone is way behind in this area, but by no means is considered to be unsecure. The CPU of an iPhone is faster and the memory capacity greater but the lack of voice Command and Copy Paste features lets it down a little compared to other phones.

The performance of both devices is outstanding where internet and Wi-Fi are concerned. Both devices browse the web well and access popular social networks with lightning speed. However in business applications the Blackberry is the clear winner due to its ability to link with Microsoft Exchange. Though the new iPhones are offering an MS Exchange Link, it will take Apple sometime to come up to the level of the Blackberry. Another area where it beats the iPhone is the ease of push email. Roaming charges of the Blackberry are low compared to the iPhone and thats why it is preferred by the frequent travelers who like to keep in touch with their business associates or family when they are on the move. Any changes made in the calendar or contact list in the PC in Exchange automatically appears on the Blackberry thus eliminating the need to do so manually.

Conclusion

The iPhone is faster than the Blackberry and comes with more storage space. It is the best choice for those who want a strong entertainment environment as the gaming options and the multimedia features are far superior to Blackberry. On the connectivity, security and business applications front, it bows down to the Blackberry. The Blackberry is hopeless at gaming and needs a lot of help when it comes to applications. However it makes up with its linking ability with the Microsoft Exchange server. Blackberry is a strong reliable business oriented device; while the iPhone is a hip, attractive device with a wide range of apps.

So, let s get ready to put some movies on your iPhone today and hide them from prying eyes.

The actual task of transferring the movies to your iPhone is the effortless part if you make sure that you have converted the file to the correct format before you go any further. Once you have movies ready on your computer, you can begin the process of scanning movies into iTunes, and after that all the movies can be transferred directly from iTunes to your iPhone.

However, if you do not want to go through this lengthy process of converting movies to the correct format that iPhone supports and want an easy way to transfer and hide movies on your iPhone, you can use an iPhone app like Folder Lock for iPhone or can find any other reliable app. (which is hard enough to find J )

There are many applications out there which allow you to download or transfer full length iPhone movies to your handset and it is sometime difficult to recognize which applications are going to take your money and not furnish you with the items you bought and which applications offer top quality movie downloads or transfers that are safe and secure and virus-free.

To me, Folder Lock is kind of a perfect app that I have been waiting for since long because it does not only let me transfer movies and other video files to my iPhone easily but it also keep them secure in its Locker that can only be accessed after entering correct password. Furthermore, it does not require me to convert movie and video file format before transferring them to my mobile phone rather it accepts almost all types of video file formats including mp4, mov, 3gp and mpv, so I do not have to worry about converting files prior to transfer.

To hide movies on your iPhone, first you need to download Folder Lock for iPhone that you can get directly from iTunes App Store. After having this application on your phone, you must have Wi-Fi activated on your PC or MAC as well as on your iPhone. When you meet these two requirements, the application guides you on how to transfer movies from your PC or MAC to the iPhone using secure Wi-Fi connectivity.

Once you have done with the transfer process, you will be able to find your movies in the Videos category of Folder Lock. Now you can feel safe that all your movies on your iPhone are hidden from others and only you can watch them.

The Sony BDP-S590 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi is a device that combines not only your basic 2D/3D blu-ray disc player into one device, but it is also WiFi-compatible with Standards 802.11 a/b/g/n. In other words, if you have any sort of high-definition video or audio device connected to your home network, the S590’s built-in WiFi connectivity will “announce itself” to your router and once they have finished their security negotiation (all WiFi devices must have as a minimum WPA/WPA2 or WEP encrypted security with regularly changed keys), everything is all set.

For example, Sony, this time around has decided not only must it admit that Apple products do exist (and vice versa), but it has also allowed Android-active devices to connect to your network through the S590. There’s a control app not only for iPods but also for iPhones and Android devices.

This means that not only can you simulcast, if you will allow an older phrase, your 2D and 3D movies and discs through your S590, if you have an iPhone with the Pandora app, you can stream Pandora audio through any portion or portions of your home system.

The key to this piece is Sony’s Multi-Room music sound streaming mode. It’s nice to be able to use your system-connected speakers in the basement with sound that is being streamed through your home system in the living room. It does make and keep things interesting at parties.

And, if you just want to use the standard blu-ray disc player of the S590 to send 1920 by 1080 (full high-definition) video to any part of your network, all you have do to is start the device you are playing and ensure that the S590 understands it. It will understand it since Sony was one of the original signers of the DLNA certification agreement. The DLNA certification means that any Digital Live Network Addressed device will automatically be recognized by any other DLNA device so there is no negotiation. Just wait until they sync up and you’re ready to go so that you can and will literally throw any sounds from a Sony (or Apple, to be fair) device through your home network to any other part.

If you have a PC connected somewhere in there you have even more expansion capability because the S590 comes with only two USB ports, however, if you have a PC included in your home entertainment system (or even a Playstation III, for that matter) you will pick up at least two or more USB ports through which you can connect either HDMI (high-def) cables or other devices, such as another HDTV receiver so you can share not only your video, but the audio capability of the S590.

Think about this. Yes, it will be expensive (more than likely because it is Sony and it’s a new device) but when you have installed it you can safely take out other spare sound devices that you may have wanted to replace or you can add something like a Playstation III to the mix, if you have just received one, and you can use it anywhere on your home network.

It is quite an advance and shows just how far device integration has come. Pretty soon, all you’ll have to do is unpack the box, drop the player into the middle of the console, add a couple of adapter wires (the speakers may or may not be built in) and you have a complete system. Yes, it has taken time to figure out how to do it, but they have done it so that now if you are into Twitting from your iPhone or even iPad, you can keep in contact with your social networking, including YouTube video clips through one device and you can stream them where you’d like.

Perhaps the nicest piece of this is the fact that if you just want to watch a 3D move on your HDTV in the game room while the rest of the system does other things the S590’s flexibility will oblige you, even allowing you to convert 2D to 3D video. It is quite an achievement but if you had to look for where it would originate you would have to expect Sony to do it and quite nicely in a device you can tuck anywhere as it’s only 2.9 by 19 by 11 and it only weighs about 4.4 pounds. There’s quite a lot of power packed into that nice-looking package as we have found out.
