How a mobile phone charging station would help you (or your business) get a 'boost' around UK





Out-and-about with little or no battery life left on our mobile phone or smart device. Low mobile phone battery is a sinking feeling and you really feel disconnected from everything.

We all use your device to keep up with friends, family, business contacts, and social networking. A new company in the UK called Chargezone is currently working on setting up their mobile phone charging stations at locations across UK. The mobile phone charging units can be found in stores, bars, cafes, events, weddings, airports and shopping malls.

Chargezone is a public smartphone recharging unit with band focused advertising. The company sells, leases and services the units.

At Chargezone, the main goals are:

• To always keep the UK public connected on-the-Go and never running out of mobile phone battery.

•To further boost and improve your business’s smartphone marketing strategy.

 

The smartphone charging stations that the company provides are free to customers, who wait an average of 10 minutes per recharge, and who buy something about 90% of the time.

It’s a win-win situation when the customers receive a free smartphone battery recharge for their device, while the business owners reap the benefit of the increased traffic, and, in theory, sales.

All smartphone user in the UK should look out for the Chargezone App coming soon. The smartphone app  would immediately places a venue on the radar and starts bringing new customers through the doors. This all comes as comforting news to the mobile phone masses, and business owners are taking notice of this smartphone recharging solution.

With the number of smartphones expected to soon hit one billion, it seems like Chargezone, will soon be bringing you to a business in your neighborhood, wherever you are.

iPhone 5 (full review, price and reaction)




Inside the iPhone 5 and all you need to know  (full review, price and reaction)






Looks of the iPhone 5

The Apple iPhone 5 looks a lot like the iPhone 4S but it's thinner, by 18 per cent, and lighter, by 20 per cent. The screen is taller too, at 4-inches corner to corner, but the phone, held in portrait mode, is the same width. Instead of a glass back, the iPhone 5 back and sides are made from a single piece of aluminium.


Inside the iPhone 5

The handset is powered by an A6 processor, an upgrade from the A5 chip in the iPhone 4S and the A5X in the latest iPad. Apple says the A6 delivers CPU and graphics performance that is twice as fast as the iPhone 4S. It has been rumoured that the iPhone 5 has more RAM too - 1GB, compared with 512MB in the 4S - but this has not been confirmed.



The Camera
Though the camera is still 8-megapixels, Apple says that performance will be improved by the new A6 processor. The iPhone 5 also has better low-light performance and a new panorama mode.
Can I get 4G if I get an iPhone 5?
The iPhone 5 will work on EE, the new 4G network from the company formerly known as Everything Everywhere. That network will launch within the next few weeks but prices and speeds are yet to be confirmed. If you are on another network then you're out of luck: those networks have to wait for the spectrum auction before they can start their 4G services and they are unlikely to arrive before next summer.



SIM card

Yes, to save space Apple has replaced the micro-SIM card in the iPhone 4S with a smaller nano-SIM. Your network should swap the SIM for you, over the counter, at no charge.
What happened to the dock connector?
Another thing Apple has replaced in order to save space: the dock connector. It has been a familiar feature of Apple devices since it was introduced with the third-generation iPod in 2003 but Apple has now replaced it with a smaller 'Lightning' connector. That means the iPhone 5 won't connect to any existing docks or accessories you may have. For those, Apple will sell you an adaptor at £25.

Why doesn't it do

According to Apple's Phil Schiller, the iPhone 5 doesn't have NFC because it's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. One day, an NFC-enabled phone could replace your wallet but that day is unlikely to come in the next 12 months, by which time Apple will be launching a new iPhone. Wireless charging, meanwhile, was ignored by Apple because it still means plugging something in to charge - it just doesn't plug into your phone.
There are plenty of features that other smartphones have that the iPhone 5 doesn't. If a feature is missing that's essential for you, then this needn't be your phone.



Release date and Price

Apple confirmed yesterday that the iPhone 5 will be released on September 21. Unlocked, the phone will cost £529 (16GB), £599 (32GB) and £699 (64GB). Prices will be lower with a contract and providers are likely to issue prices for those very soon.
