Unlocked Apple iPhone 4S coming in November

Apple has officially announced that it would be launching unlocked iPhone 4S in the month of november.

Though we have seen a huge surge in demand for iPhone 4S, many people have complained about various problems in iPhone 4S. Bad battery problem is one of the major problem with iPhone 4S and iOS5.

The unlocked iPhone 4S will be available in USA but no clear indications of other countries including India. On it’s website, Apple lays out all the purchasing options for its latest flagship phone and tucked away at the bottom is this line,”Or get iPhone unlocked and contract-free. Coming in November.”

So India it seems will now have to wait a bit longer to have its hands on iPhone 4S. Lets wait and look forward to another awaited launch date from Apple.

iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s in India – Buy now

Where to buy iPhone in India -

iPhone 4 is already available in India.

Bharti Airtel

Buy an iPhone from your nearest Bharati Airtel Store

Aircel

Buy an iPhone from a Aircel Shop near you.

iPhone 4s is not yet launched in India. The date is not decided and expected to be by end of year or may be pushed to 2012. Last time iphone 4 was launched it took almost 11 months for iphone 4 to reach India. Usually when a new product is launched, the older versions of the product is available at a lower cost. In case of apple that is not always the case.

For e.g:- in US iPhone 3Gs – 8GB is available at $0 but with a contract with telecom service provider. iPhone 4G – 8GB is available at $99  with contract. But iPhone 4S prices – $199 for 16GB , $299 for 32GB, $399 for 64GB.

So if you already have a iPhone 4 then you should easily upgrade to iPhone 4S and may be service provider can give you some deal. But if not you can just upgrade your iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and enjoy the new features . What you will miss is SIRI which wont be available with iPhone 4 now.

But if you are a new buyer for iPhone and dont have an earlier version of iPhone then this is the best time to jump in the apple family and own a iPhone. A lot of rumors are again spreading around that apple will soon launch iPhone 5 but I dont see that happening till next december 2012.

If you are in India then you are stuck for some time till you can own a iPhone 4S from any telecom service provider. But you can ask your friends or families from US or Canada to get one for you. Unlocked iPhone 4S should be available but it may cost a lot . You can go in for a plan and then cancel the plan so that you end up buying and owning the iPhone at $399 or $499 instead of $649 as is already available in Canada as unlocked iPhone 4S. iphone 4S unlocked Canada , if you have someone in Canada then this is your best option to buy unlocked iphone 4S in India.

Cheaper options could also be available from grey market in Mumbai, Delhi but it comes with its own problems.

Iphone 4s price and release in India

With the launch of the Apple Iphone 4s in USA and other countries, India may have to wait a bit longer for the availability and official launch. The release date for iphone 4s in India is expected to be around December 2011. The price for an unlocked iphone 4s in India is expected to be around INR Rs.40,000/-

The iphone 4s may be available for pre order on various networks like Reliance, Vodafone, Aircel and Airtel but the policy is yet to be announced and may be out only in late december. So crowd in India will have to postpone the purchase of iphone4s till december and christmas season rather than buying in Diwali season.

More Information about iphone 4s :

Apple finally launches its new version of iPhone in USA but not yet in India. Today Apple iPhone 4S is the most advanced smart phone in the market.

3 Adwords Mistakes Your Wallet Begs You To Avoid

Image via CrunchBase

Even though changes have occurred with Google AdWords, it is still a formidable tool in your marketing arsenal if you understand it and know how to use it the right way. You’ll find the entire range of experiences with Adwords, but the most dangerous phase is when you’re new and inexperienced. You’ll feel much more confident when you actually produce your first profitable Adwords campaign. However, if you haven’t ever tried your hand at AdWords and are new to it, things can look confusing, which might lead to some costly mistakes that affect your overall marketing budget. Next we’ll go over 3 commonly seen mistakes when using Adwords, learn about them and keep learning to have success.

One thing to keep in mind about Adwords and mistakes – some of them seem to become magnified and it’ll only be downhill from there. This usually occurs when you’re trying to juggle too many things at a time without doing proper home work. But it doesn’t always have to end up with such mistakes. As maybe you can guess, there are very many marketers who are making excellent returns with Adwords. Profitable campaigns have longevity, they’re around for months and months – so study them the best you can. Study how they do it by learning from their ad copy, landing page design and copy, and anything else. Analyze and research your competition and see what different they’re doing than you. It can take some time because sometimes it’s hard to know who is succeeding and who isn’t. Ads that don’t run very long are obviously unsuccessful campaigns. You can follow the same approach seen in successful ads, but you should avoid just copying someone elses ads. If you have the right strategy, you can realize almost an instant change in your campaign’s performance.

Displaying your ads through the content network of Google is another common mistake. Through a Program called AdSense, this network of partnering websites, shows their Google ads. These un-targeted sites could prove very distracting for people viewing your ad. In the end you may even achieve a high click through rate, but you will probably find that your conversion rate is low. So not turning the content network off will lead to large amount of money spend on ads, with a poor return on investment, which is the last thing you want. Tracking your ads can also be difficult, which means it is harder for you. So always remember to turn the content network off before you start a campaign. The ads that appear in the Google search and its partners should be your only focus.

Another common mistake is using to many keywords in one ad group. It is no ones fault but your own if you are not testing the success rate of each keyword. Only the best keywords will get the clicks and the less popular won’t get many. There will then be confusion, since you are unable to determine which keywords are receiving the clicks. The under-performing wrods can then be easily eliminated, if you keep your words per ad group to a minimum.

Making these mistakes can make your AdWords campaign unsuccessful, so be sure to avoid them.

The Gold-to-Silver Ratio: Why It’s Important, What It’s Telling Us Today

By Michael Lombardi, MBA

~ reporting from Venice, Italy

I often write about gold bullion in my commentaries, but not much about silver. And my readers are writing asking me what I think about silver. As usual, I’m happy to present my ideas and forecasts.

Right up front, I want to say I’m more biased towards gold than silver as an investment. I’ve been pushing gold since 2002. At that time, I started getting concerned about spiraling U.S. debt and the increase in the money supply.

My thought has always been: if the validity of the U.S. dollar ever comes into play, gold will be the currency of choice. Not silver. I can see the government eventually forced into a situation where U.S. dollars again will be partially backed by gold bullion. I can’t see U.S. dollars backed by silver.

On the other hand, silver is used in many different industries, whereas gold is still primarily used in jewelry and as an investment-related commodity. And, as the economy in China continues to boom, as we believe it will, demand for silver for industrial use will continue to rise, pushing up silver prices.

Gold prices are up about 13% this year compared to a 29% increase in the price of silver so far in 2011. Silver is actually outpacing gold in terms of price appreciation this year.

The gold-to-silver ratio works like this: we take the current price of gold and divide it by the current price of silver. Historically, over two centuries, the gold-to-silver ratio has been 37-to-1. Today, it sits at 40-to-1.

What does this tell me? It tells me that silver is not cheap in respect to gold, but it is not overvalued compared to gold either. It also tells me something else.

Investing in gold—my gold advice: my prediction, as expressed in these pages over recent years, is for gold bullion to reach $3,000 per ounce before the bull market in the metal is over. If I apply the historic 37-to-1 gold-to-silver ratio, silver should be trading at $81.00 an ounce if gold reaches $3,000 an ounce. Hence, we are looking at a doubling of the price of silver before the bull run in commodities is over.

In short, silver is a good investment, not because of the increased demand for the metal in China, but because the metal has been riding gold’s bull market of the past 10 years. I expect it to continue doing so.

There are several major silver producers traded on various stock exchanges. On silver price dips, I’d be a buyer of the major silver producer stocks, especially those listed on the TSX, Canada’s major stock exchange.

Gold and silver will both rise on the back of a weaker U.S. dollar. American investors can enjoy the rise in the price of major silver-producing stocks in non-U.S. denominated dollars, providing Americans with a double whammy of stock price appreciation and profits on a currency play.

What He Said:

“Prepare for the worst economic period ahead that we have seen in years, my dear reader, as that is what I see coming. I’ve written over the past three years how, in the late 1920s, real estate prices fell first before the stock market and how I felt the same would happen this time. Home prices in the U.S. peaked in 2005 and started falling in 2006. The stock market is following suit here in 2008. Is a depression coming? No. How about a severe deflationary recession? Yes!” Michael Lombardi in PROFIT CONFIDENTIAL, January 21, 2008. Michael started talking about and predicting the economic catastrophe we began experiencing in 2008 long before anyone else.

google voice – One phone number, online voicemail, and enhanced call features

Google voice service is all set to be launched and take the internet telephony by storm. Google will now allow one number for all your calls and SMS. so no need of multiple phones and tracking for home, office and mobile. This service is provided by google free of cost and its the old GrandCentral, which google acquired in July of 2007 and is now providing the service free of cost. Google Voice is currently available by invite only . Get an Invite if you are interested in getting an invite for google voice. Please note that Google Voice is only available for sign up in the US. read more about google voice and its features from here.

One number for all your calls and SMS

• Call screening – Announce and screen callers
• Listen in – Listen before taking a call
• Block calls – Keep unwanted callers at bay
• SMS – Send, receive, and store SMS
• Place calls – Call US numbers for free
• Taking calls – Answer on any of your phones
• Phone routing – Phones ring based on who calls
• Forwarding phones – Add phones and decide which ring

Will we get this feature in India ? will we get google voice in India.  It would be worth the wait and I am sure telecom players like reliance, airtel, tata indicom would be gearing up for this.

But this would be a good solution for Indian software companies and entrepreneurs in Indian cities like pune, bangalore, delhi etc to use this service to virtually stay in USA and get a mobile identity. SO for those who are doing international business and are looking for setting up office in USA, this would be a great help. But you many not be able to eliminate phone services providers like vonage, skype etc as you would still need a US number to use this google service.

The Google voice is set to launch in the month of July in USA.
