Here's a way to make your iPhone 4 or iPad stand out in your next business or board meeting. Bling My Thing has just launched its range of fashion accessories to for Apple's latest devices that promise to make your mobile device look like a million bucks: the 'Escape' series of thin transparent hard cases for the iPad and a range of luxury cases called Simple is Beautiful by Ayano Kimura, the company's chief designer, for the iPhone 4.
Each iPad case is coated with a special anti-scratch layer on which decorative elements are embedded, according to Bling My Thing. The 'Escape' series is available in 'Crystal' color along with three further variations; 'Pink Mix', 'Blue Mix' and 'Energy Mix', each of which consist of three colors.
As with the new iPad case, each iPhone 4 case is treated with a transparent anti-scratch coating. The camera hole has been made to ensure that it does not interfere with the flash function of the iPhone 4, so there is no flare to be seen in the photos taken with the flash.
See here for more information on the cases, which should be available soon.
PA Consulting Group's communications and wireless experts have carried out tests that indicate that Apple's iPhone 4 does indeed suffer from connectivity problems compared to other smartphones. In the majority of the tests the iPhone 4's performance was in the same range as the other smartphones tested (Blackberry 9700, HTC HD2), but it was consistently at the lower end of that range. And, as found by other testers, when used in the "death grip", the iPhone 4's performance was significantly worse than other smartphones. PA has recorded it's tests and you can watch this on YouTube below.
