Move over, Google. Amazon just launched an email service

copied from Ruth Reader

on January 28, 2015

Ever bent on competing with everyone, Amazon launched an email service called WorkMail this morning.

The new service is exclusively for the workplace — not personal use. Amazon will be charging subscription fees of $4 a month for each account on WorkMail, prices that are in keeping with both Office 365 and Google Apps for Work. Additional features include calendaring, calendar sharing, tasks, contact lists, distribution lists, resource booking, public folders, and away messages. The subscription will allow users 50 gigabytes of email storage as well.

The mail service is encrypted and companies can decide where its data is stored, according to an article in Forbes. WorkMail has its own web client, which looks uncannily like Google’s. But Amazon seems more concerned with being the backend exchange of digital communications rather than the consumer-facing interface. As such, WorkMail can integrate with other email clients.

As a part of this announcement Amazon is also renaming its file-sharing service Amazon WorkDocs. Enterprises will be able to get a bundled subscription of both WorkMail and WorkDocs for $6 a month per employee.

A grab for corporate email isn’t especially shocking. The Amazon Web Services cloud computing platform serves plenty of businesses, large and small. And the roll-out of file sharing service Amazon Zocalo (now WorkDocs!) and desktop interface Amazon Workspaces show that the company has further plans to capitalize on its mass of clients and tech partners.

If the company keeps up this trend, it means the next product on its list could be office software — another direct strike against Google and Microsoft.

Comparing iphone 6 & 6Plus with other SMartphones

In this post i have collected multiple comparisons from multiple sites, this isn’t my opinion, nor it is my comparison, but i liked to share it with you all, may be it would be helpful for all of us to choose what best suits us.

To help you choose a smartphone, and to choose between iOS and Android, this post will compare the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and HTC One M8. For the most part we’ll focus on hardware specs and stand-out software features, but once we actually have the new iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus in our hands for review, we’ll update this story with more up-to-date details. We’ll also discuss where the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 3 and 4 fit into this comparison.

Display: iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 6 Plus vs. HTC One M8

Let’s start with the most obvious change between the iPhone 5S and both of the new iPhone 6 models: Screen size and resolution. While the iPhone 6 has a 4.7-inch display, its resolution is relatively low at 1334×750 — the same 326 PPI as the iPhone 5S. The 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus steps up to a full 1920×1080 display, or 401 PPI. The HTC One M8 has a 5-inch panel at 1920×1080, or 441 PPI.

For the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple has apparently updated its Retina display to… Retina HD. Retina HD apparently delivers higher contrast and more accurate color reproduction. Early hands-on reviews say that both new iPhones have fantastic displays, but we’ll have to wait for some objective comparisons. The One M8′s display is one of the best out there.

The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus use IPS panels, while the HTC One M8 uses Super LCD (SLCD). Functionally, this should make very little difference. Both technologies have good viewing angles, contrast, color gamut, and so on.

In terms of pure pixel density, the HTC One M8 probably has the better display. The iPhone 6′s 1334×750 resolution is a little bit disappointing, but Apple had to maintain a specification gap between it and the iPhone 6 Plus. In any case, though, all three phones should look fantastic.

iPhone 6 (bottom) vs. HTC One M8 thickness

Size and weight: iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 6 Plus vs. HTC One M8

With apologies to a famous comic book movie: With a greater display comes greater size and weight.

iPhone 6: 138.1mm long, 67mm wide, 6.9mm thick. 129 grams (4.55 oz).

iPhone 6 Plus: 158.1mm long, 77.8mm wide, 7.1mm thick. 172 grams (6.07 oz).

HTC One M8: 146.4mm long, 70.6mm wide, 9.4mm thick. 160 grams (5.64 oz).

The Samsung Galaxy S5, in case you were wondering, is 145 grams and 8.1mm thick — so, significantly thinner than the One M8, but still a long way off the new iPhones. The Galaxy Note 4 is very similar to the iPhone 6 Plus in terms of dimensions and weight, but it packs in a larger and much-higher-res screen (5.7 inches @ 2560×1440).

Hardware specs: iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 6 Plus vs. HTC One M8

It’s always a little complex (and not really very objective) to compare the internals of Apple and Android devices. Apple usually goes for lower clock speeds (to save power), and smaller amounts of RAM (to cut costs and some power), but no one would say that the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus is a slow or sluggish phone.

So far, all we really know is that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have the new 20nm Apple A8 SoC. We’ll be analyzing this chip in further depth later today. For now, it looks like it’s an updated version of the dual-core A7 SoC, but with a larger GPU. You will not be disappointed by the A8′s performance, I can tell you that much.

There is an updated M8 “motion coprocessor” in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, too, which presumably reduces sensor power consumption — but I’m sure the HTC One M8 has some coprocessors as well (they’re just not marketed as such).

The HTC One M8 has the Snapdragon 801 SoC, which has a strong quad-core Krait CPU, but the Adreno 330 GPU is fairly dated by this point. The Galaxy Note 4, Note Edge, LG G3, and updated Galaxy S5 LTE-A (Korea only) have the newer Snapdragon 805 with Adreno 420 GPU, which will probably fare better against Apple’s A8 SoC. There is 2GB of RAM in the HTC One M8.

Interestingly, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus now come in 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB models. The HTC One M8 only comes in 16 or 32GB flavors — but it has a micro SD card slot, unlike the iPhones. The iPhone models both come with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, while the One M8 does not. (The Galaxy S5 does have a fingerprint sensor, but it’s a bit shoddy.)

Battery life: iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 6 Plus vs. HTC One M8

Neither the HTC One M8 (shown here) or the iPhone 6/6 Plus offer a replaceable battery.

There’s no word on the actual size (watt-hours, mAh) of the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus battery, but Apple is promising some impressive battery life figures nonetheless. The larger chassis of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus hopefully allowed Apple to squeeze in a significantly larger battery over the iPhone 5S. On the iPhone 6 — according to Apple’s own figures — you should get 11 hours of web browsing over WiFi, 10 hours over LTE, and 11 hours of video playback. The iPhone 6 Plus steps up to 12 hours over WiFi and LTE, and 14 hours of video playback.

The HTC One M8 has a fairly small battery as far as big Android phones go (2,600 mAh), and HTC doesn’t provide official surfing/video playback battery life figures. The Galaxy S5 (with a big, replaceable 2,800 mAh battery) is better in this regard. In any case, the One M8 is usually good for a full day of mixed usage — but you will probably get better battery life from the iPhone 6, and certainly the iPhone 6 Plus.

the HTC One M8 — and probably every other Android phone — is the camera. Apple has always made good cameras, and it seems the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will be no different.

Apple says there’s a brand new “iSight” sensor in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, rocking 8 megapixels, with “focus pixels” (Apple’s wording) that perform phase-detection autofocus. The iPhone 6 Plus also has optical image stabilization, for additional sharpness and low-light image quality. Early hands-on impressions are that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus cameras are very good.

Backside of the iPhone 6 (right) and HTC One M8, showing the respective cameras. Note the HTC One M8 has an additional depth sensor.

The One M8 camera’s pixels are larger (2.0µ vs. 1.5µ), and the One M8 does have some interesting features that the iPhones don’t have (such as a depth sensor for 3D images). For some reason though, the color reproduction from the One M8′s camera just isn’t very good, and highly sporadic. The Galaxy S5 does have phase-detection autofocus, but again the camera can return some questionable image quality.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus introduce some new video capture features, too, that the One M8 can’t match, such as 240 fps slow-mo mode and continuous autofocus (and face detection). The front FaceTime camera on the iPhones sounds like it’s superior to anything offered the the HTC One M8 or other Android smartphones, too.

 

iPhone 6 vs. Galaxy S5

Display

This is the first time Apple builds a smartphone with a display larger than 4 inches. In fact, Apple and their fans have bashed the large-screen Android smartphones in the past.

Apple’s new iPhone 6 arrives with a 4.7-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD display with 750 x 1334 resolution. It also has a pixel density of 326 ppi and is protected by shatterproof glass and olephobic coating.

The Galaxy S5 features a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD (1080 x 1920) resolution and a pixel density of 432 ppi. It’s protected against scratches by a Gorilla Glass 3 layer.

The screen that equips the Galaxy S5 comes with higher resolution and higher pixel density, so it helps Samsung’s flagship win this round. The point allocated for the Display round goes to the S5.

Dimensions

Apple was known for manufacturing smartphones that are great for one-hand usage. Starting with the last generation, the Cupertino-based company can no longer brag about this.

The Galaxy S5 is 142 mm tall, 72.5 mm wide, and 8.1 mm thin, while weighing in at 145 grams. Despite having a significantly smaller screen, the iPhone 6 is similar in size with the Galaxy S5. It measures 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm and weighs 129 grams.

Apple’s smartphone is more compact and lighter than its rival, so it wins the Dimensions round. The iPhone 6 wins its first point.

Processor

Starting last year, Apple has integrated 64-bit processors into their iPhone. Just like its predecessor, the iPhone 6 has a 64-bit-friendly processor.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801 chipset with quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400 CPU and Adreno 330 GPU. On the other hand, the iPhone 6 is underpinned by Apple’s A8 SoC based on two Cyclone (ARM v8-based) cores clocked at 1.4 GHz and a quad-core PowerVR GX6450.

Though the S5’s processor has more cores and higher clock speed, benchmarks have shown that iPhone 6’s CPU is more powerful. Apple’s flagship wins another point.

Memory

Apps, your music collection, your favorite TV shows, photos and videos that you capture using your smartphone. For all these you will need lots of storage.

The iPhone 6 comes has three storage options: 16, 64, and 128 GB. The Galaxy S5 is available with either 32 or 64 GB storage, but it also supports microSD expansion up to 128 GB.

In terms of RAM, the Galaxy S5 arrives with 2 GB, while Apple’s iPhone 6 has only 1 GB. Anyway, iOS’ multitasking doesn’t require a high amount of RAM, so both devices will provide a decent multitasking experience.

Still, the Galaxy S5 can have a maximum of 160 GB of storage. Samsung’s smartphone wins the Memory round.

Camera

Apple’s terminal brings an 8 MP iSight camera with phase detection autofocus, dual-LED flash, 1/3” sensor size, 1.5µm pixel size, geo-tagging, simultaneous HD video and image recording, touch focus, face/smile detection, HDR, and support for 1080p@60fps video recording. iPhone 6 also brings an 1.2 MP user-facing camera with HD video recording support.

Samsung Galaxy S5 features a 16 MP primary shooter with phase detection autofocus, LED flash, 1/2.6” sensor size, 1.12 µm pixel size, Dual Shot, Simultaneous HD video and image recording, geo-tagging, touch focus, face/smile detection, HDR, and 4K video recording capabilities. The S5 also integrates a 2 MP secondary cam capable of recording 1080p videos.

Even though there some Apple fans would say that megapixels don’t count, real-life tests have proven that Galaxy S5’s camera is superior. The Samsung terminal wins the Camera round.

Design

Samsung has received a lot of criticism for not using premium materials for their smartphones. Fortunately, the South Koreans have improved this aspect of their devices starting with the Galaxy Note 4.

The Galaxy S5 keeps the same form factor as its predecessor, but it has less rounded corners and sharper edges. The back is made of a rubberized plastic that feels great and offers good grip. On the back, you will find a heart rate monitor underneath the camera sensor, while the speaker is located in the bottom left corner. S5 also has a fingerprint sensor integrated on the Home button and it’s IP67 certified which means that is dust proof and water resistant up to 1 meter and 30 minutes. Samsung flagship might not be the best-looking smartphone on the market, but it’s definitely an improvement compared to company’s previous phones. It’s available in four body colors: Black, Blue, White, and Gold.

The iPhone 6 departs from the design philosophy introduced in 2010 by the iPhone 4. As you may know, the iPhone 4S looked just like the iPhone 4, while both iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s were aluminium-made, taller variants of the former one. The new Apple smartphone has more rounded corners and it’s made of aluminium. It’s very slim, but, unfortunately, it has a large bezel around the screen which is not so good-looking. There are three color options available, Gray, White, and Gold. The iPhone 6 is a wonderfully-crafted smartphone and, no doubt, one of the best-looking on the market.

Even though the S5 is water and dust resistant, the iPhone 6 is the better-looking device. Apple’s smartphone wins the design round hands-down.

Battery Life

The iPhone 6 is kept alive by a non-removable Li-Po 1,810 mAh battery. Apple promises 250 hours of stand-by time and 14 hours of talk time. In our test, the iPhone 6 managed to get through about 18 hours of moderate usage on a single charge.

Samsung’s Galaxy S5 has a removable Li-Ion 2,800 mAh battery, which, according to Samsung, can get the device through up to 390 hours of stand-by time or 21 hours of talk time. When we got our hands on the Galaxy S5, the smartphone managed to stay awake for almost one day and a half of moderate usage.

The Galaxy S5 has better battery life, so it wins this round. Another point for Samsung’s smartphone.

Connectivity

When it comes to connectivity, the Galaxy S5 arrives with HSDPA, 42.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps; LTE, Cat4, 50 Mbps UL, 150 Mbps DL, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy, NFC, infra red port, and microUSB 3.0. Apple’s iPhone 6 brings DC-HSDPA, 42 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps; EV-DO Rev. A, up to 3.1 Mbps; LTE, Cat4, 150 Mbps DL, 50 Mbps UL, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy, NFC (limited to Apple Pay), and Apple’s proprietary Lightning port.

Unfortunately, iPhone 6’s NFC chip has limited functionality. Moreover, the iOS-powered smartphone doesn’t have an IR blaster which comes in handy when you lose the remote control of your TV or set-top-box. The connectivity round goes to the Galaxy S5.
