Tech News

(Apple Iphone 4)
(HTC EVO 4) = 4G
Probably everybody has heard about the 3G(third generation) technology for our wireless internet need. But did you know there are news about the new 4G(fourth generation) technology coming out soon in the United States, estimated time for the 4G to breakout is early 2011. So what is the difference between these 2 technologies and where we are headed?  In basic terms the 3G technology which we are using now with our internet providers provide the maximum output of 3.1 megabytes/second that’s maybe downloading a regular movie in 4 minutes only, but the usual speed we can get here with our local internet provider given the cheapest price is about 0-512 kilobytes/second meaning it’l probably take about 6-7 minutes to finish. Then here comes the 4G technology, this 4th installation for the internet is surely going to surprise a lot of us. The 4G technology can download fully up to 100-300megabytes/second meaning a regular movie in 2 or 2.5 seconds only. Not only does the 4G technology help by providing very fast speed but it is thought to be a “green” technology because by moving data around more efficiently than 3G it requires less power and less hassle for people. So for the people that uses a lot of file transferring and downloading I prefer you to upgrade to 4G as soon as it arrives here in the Philippines J
