The Antennagate situation continues to haunt Apple, as the results of the lawsuit against the company are out and are not in the company’s favor. Apple will now be required to give either $15 in cash or a free Bumper case to every iPhone 4 customer in the US.

Customers that purchased an iPhone 4 will be able to redeem their payout from  www.iPhone4Settlement.com  when the site goes live. Apple will also alert affected customers via email by April 30th. Anyone that bought an iPhone 4 before Friday should be eligible though There’s no word if that applies to customers who have already accepted a free case from Apple.

The suit was originally filed in 2010 and alleged that “the case and antenna design has led to a substantial degradation in signal quality and dropped calls when the phone is used in a normal and foreseeable fashion by users.”

Thanks to Apple, the iPhone 4S does not have any problem due to a reworked antenna system.

According to a survey conducted by Security firm Check Point, Corporations Prefer iOS Over BlackBerry and Android. The research that surveyed 768 IT professionals from the U.S, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan demonstrates that Apple’s iOS is the preferred mobile platform, especially for security Purposes.

89% IT professionals, questioned have smartphones or tablets connected to their corporate networks but Apple iOS is the most common mobile platform used to connect in corporate environments. IOS accounts for 30% of the devices connected, followed by BlackBerry with its 29% and Android’s 21%. The Windows Mobil Phone still accounts for 18% of the total connected devices.

71% consider that the addition of mobile devices on the corporate networks contributed to increased security incidents. However, Google’s Android is regarded the less secure among the platforms. It is considered to introduce the greatest security risks, the answer came from 43% of those asked.

Google is working hard to overcome the security risks of Android in order to suit the needs of businesses. There’s even a Security Enhanced version of the platform, released by the NSA, that aims at solving some of the problems related to security. However, the corporate world still thinks it is less secure than Apple’s iOS which is also less secure than RIM’s BlackBerry OS.

Sharp Electronics Corporation is a renowned company internationally for its unique electronic products and solutions. The company covers all the requirements of a standard lifestyle with a range of electronic products both for home and office. It has shown over the years a solemn dedication for improving human quality of life.

Now it has ventured into the upcoming iPhone and wants to be a part of Apple. In response, Apple has been reported to have chosen Sharp to make next-generation low-temperature poly-silicon LCD displays, which will allow a thinner and lighter design for the much awaited next iPhone in 2012.

The thinner and lighter screens will take less power than traditional LCD screens, which is a technology that allows making “system on glass” devices. In such devices the optical sensors, signal processing circuits and other components are located directly on the glass substrate. It has many advantages such as saving space within the device and enhancing battery life with better efficiency.

The medical community is the happiest with iPad 2’s medical apps which facilitates them. It has also helped to usher in a trend for more useful mobile devices and software applications that can be used in healthcare.

The iPad is already helping physicians to engage with their patients to share images and other data relevant for health treatments. Thus, according to a survey by Aptilon, iPad has a high approval status and preference over other devices amongst the healthcare professionals.

Hence, this means only good things for the iPad 2 as it is believed to have gotten an even bigger welcome in the medical community than the first-generation Apple tablet, because it has A5 dual-processor that enhances its performance and speed of the tablet, which is essential for its application in the medical field.

It has better graphics that will allow better pictures of the patients’ wounds, for example, and will only benefit medical images like CT scans, x-rays, and ultrasound scans. Especially this feature is useful for the people in the rural area where the doctors are not quickly available. Through its use, the patients can at least get some attendance through medical colleagues sharing information with each other. This will only help to improve medical care and its administration.

iPad 2 is a good help in medicine

It is, to tell the truth, rather annoying when someone cannot stop talking about their iPhones and always want to show off their new app. The iPhone users also tend to mock BlackBerry or flip phones as they search for a nearest ATM within a two-mile radius.

Well, according to a survey, they are actually not the worst from the lot, as a survey of 200 Stanford University students has revealed that there is a phenomenon such as iPhone addiction. The studies have further revealed that the iPhone addiction can even affect the way we multitask at times.

Though the whole concept of social media is to allow you that very opportunity of multitasking by being alert to the changes that are important to you and yet be present to other things around you. But the studies have revealed that those who multitask through social media have weaker memories than those who don’t and they tend to lack concentration at work. Their focus is easily distracted because they have to update on various media online and it is a hard act to follow.

Whereas those who prefer the traditional ways or are not so much addicted to things like iPhones can get their tasks done in real time and not just plan on things. So this whole phenomenon of iPhones addiction exists in real time and is a factor that is defining our mental capabilities.
