Smart Phones of today

Before you get started you will need to download Proxifier .Proxifier is a program that allows network applications that do not support working through proxy servers to operate through an HTTPS or SOCKS proxy or a chain of proxy servers.

You will also need to download and install NetShare from the Apple App Store

1. The First Step: Setup a new network on windows (call it netshare). To do this you need to go into your network connections and right click on your wireless connection. Then click the wireless networks tab. Click add. Name your network whatever. I call mine ?netshare.? Set net authentication to open and data encryption to disabled. click the box on the bottom that says ?this is a computer to computer ad-hoc network?
2. The Second Step: Connect to the ad-hoc network by disconnecting all other connections.
3. The Third Step: Go to the wifi networks on your iphone and select netshare. Set the IP address to 192.168.10.1 and the subnet to 255.255.255.0. Set it to use Static
4. The Fourth Step: Go to the TCP/IP settings and set your computer?s IP. To do this you need to right click on your wireless connection and click properties. Then left click on Internet Protocol TCP/IP and select properties. Select the use the following ip address box and set the IP to 192.168.11.4 then set the subnet to 255.255.255.0. Once you have the IP and Subnet set click OK.
5. The Fifth Step: Run the proxifier program
6. The Sixth Step: Select the proxy settings button on the tool bar
7. The Seventh Step: Click Add then enter 192.168.11.5 in the address and set the port to 1080. Select Socks ver 5 then click OK.
8. The Eighth Step: Tap on ?Settings? on your iPhone and select ?Wi-Fi?.? Tap on the blue Arrow next to the Wi-Fi network you created (should be netshare) and choose ?Static? for the ?IP Address? option.
9. The Ninth Step: Enter the iPhone IP address you entered into your PC earlier (I suggested you use 192.168.11.5) In the ?IP Address? field.
10. The Tenth Step: Press the home button on your iPhone then launch the NetShare app. You should be ready to go. Try and access a page on your PC?s internet browser. You should now have internet access on your PC provided by your iPhone.
11. The Eleventh Step: You can test the connection by using the proxy checker. Netshare should show your connections at 1 and the give you the current data rates

Troubleshooting: I found that NetShare doesn?t work well on a slow EDGE connection, even wnen configured correctly, if you don?t establish a quick EDGE connection before launching the NetShare app as instructed in The Tenth Step. What you can do is just before launching NetShare, launch Safari on your iPhone and load any webpage. Once the iPhone has established an EDGE connection and is downloading the webpage, hit the Home button, launch NetShare, and then try and access the web via your PC again. It should work this time.

If you are targeted 20 million unit sales, then you only reach 18 million, what would you do? Are you going to blame it to anyone else? Microsoft reported that its Windows Mobile licenses (for PDA phone and smartphone) are sold for ?only? 18 million this June 2008 (from July last year)?missed about 2 milion from their 20 million target?thanks to the phone launch delay from handset maker.

Xperia is one phone that is missed to meet schedule this second quarter, thus lower Microsoft?s sales in total. Xperia is the long awaited Sony Ericsson phone that will become the first SE phone powered by Windows Mobile.

The iPhone 3G hype also gives contribution to Windows Mobile?s unreached target. Yet, 18 million licenses for a year is a huge number. Probably one of the biggest selling in smartphone category (of course still under Nokia domination). For next year, Windows Mobile 7 will become Microsoft weapon to fight against iPhone 3G, Google Android, and Blackberry series.

Apple?s struggling to crank out enough iPhone 3G handsets to meet supply.

They?re in such high demand, the company?s on track to shift more than 40 million of the touchscreen mobiles in its first year alone.

That?s almost 7 times the amount it shifted of the first generation iPhone, but with demand outstripping supply, reports suggest Apple?s pushing its Far Eastern manufacturers to their full capacity.

According to TechCrunch, Apple?s manufacturing partner, Foxconn, is churning out iPhone 3Gs at the rate of 800,000 per week. But there could be trouble ahead, as that number is reportedly ?above current full capacity.? TechCrunch says that if it continues, there could be quality control issues around the corner.

Issues like cracking cases?
