Everybody`s curious about the newest iPhone 5 that is soon to be released on the market. We will give you a preview on iPhone 5, namely the iPhone 5 specifications and the iPhone 5 release date.

Here are the most significant iPhone 5 specifications that separate the iPhone 5 from the previous iPhone 3 and 4:

2. No Home Button

Among iPhone 5 specifications, rumors say that it will no longer have the famous ‘home’ button. We were not able to find out, though, what kind of feature will replace the home button.

We believe that iPhone 5 will dispose of one big touch screen that will incorporate the home button.

3. Larger Touch Screen

The diagonal of the new iPhone 5 will measure up to 5 inch and the 4 OLED screen will prove it. The geeks at Nowhere Else say that this iPhone 5 specification is 80% certain.

Another important iPhone 5 specification is the improven 3D touch screen that this gadget will dispose of. Some say this is a false rumour.

Under immense pressure to make up ground to its rivals in the smart phone and mobile communication market, the Redmond-based software giant has opted to spend $8.5-billion (U.S.) on Skype, a company it hopes will immediately vault it back to the top of the leaderboard, thanks to Skype’s 107 million active users and presence on almost every type of personal computing device on the planet, from desktops to iPhones.

Skype offers users free or relatively cheap Web-based audio and video calls. The all-cash deal – the largest in Microsoft’s 36-year history – ends months of negotiations that are believed to have involved heavyweight suitors such as Google and Facebook. Both rivals had entered the bidding war for Skype with the same strategy as Microsoft, hoping to integrate audio and video-calling services into their existing products.

However, Microsoft appears to have presented the richest offer, and is now left with the daunting but potentially lucrative task of building Skype’s services into everything from instant messaging to e-mail to productivity software. Perhaps most importantly, Microsoft will also try to use Skype’s technology to boost the appeal of Windows-powered smart phones, which currently lag behind devices from companies such asApple Inc. and Research In Motion Ltd.

Local companies can capitalize most on mobile. One in three mobile searches is local, according to the BIA/Kelsey Group. After looking up a local business on a smartphone, 61% of users call the business and 59% visit the location, the analyst firm estimates.

Google estimates that between 15% and 30% of site traffic will come from mobile devices within 18 months. Mobile-only campaigns generate 11.5% higher click-through rates.

When it comes to tablets, users spend 50% more time with the ad compared with PC Web users. Tablet conversion rates are equal or higher to the rate of PCs. They have a higher average order value, lower cost per click, and more time on-site. The desktop site will render on a tablet as long as it doesn’t include Flash technology.

Still, it’s important to think about separate mobile campaigns. When mobile campaigns are separated from desktop campaigns, advertisers gain more control and better visibility into bids, for example. Optimizing bids for mobile devices means setting them a bit higher in the early weeks to establish a good Quality Score because only two paid-search ads serve up.

Marketers should optimize keyword lists as well. Keeping in mind that many mobile users have local intent, marketers may want to include more local keywords. And when putting together ad creatives, remember to add “shop on your iPhone or Android,” reminding the consumer that it’s safe to make transactions on the phone.

Advertisers who break out mobile campaigns can see significant gains. On average, the click-through rates rise 11.5%, according to Google.

Mike Solomon — VP of marketing strategy at The Search Agency, a search engine marketing agency — walked through ways to implement mobile strategies, beginning with data from 13 clients across numerous verticals. The data suggests mobile CPCs generate 30% less than those on desktop search. And CTRs are five times higher than desktop search.

While 85% of advertisers don’t have a mobile Web site, Solomon believes now is a good time to get started. Similar to a paid-search campaign on the Web, begin by determining the end goal such as sales, leads, site visits, apps downloads or foot traffic. Then advertisers should access their mobile footprint, creating a copy of existing campaigns and adjusting them for mobile to maintain continuity.

In Google’s ad platform, Solomon says to segment campaigns per carriers and devices. When choosing keywords, remember that mobile searches are done at the moment consumers need the information. So, searches occur in real-time. Mobile supports search-driven tasks focusing mostly on location. Those looking for information on mobile devices use a shorter set of keyword strings, compared with desktop searches. Solomon suggests taking part of the budget to test specific words.

When it comes to optimizing ad copy, take into consideration whether consumers are using a mobile phone. Mobile phone users have a shorter attention span and have less time to find information, which makes click-to-call an important feature. Advertisers also can use sitelinks to drive consumers deeper into the Web site.

It really comes back to knowing the end goal, tracking data across all channels and optimizing conversions. Don’t forget to collect and measure the data. Solomon suggests some data points that some marketers may not think of such as measuring map data, driving directions and mobile coupon codes.

If the deal meets regulatory approval, AT&T will be the largest wireless provider in the United States. The company says the transaction will allow it to expand its 4G LTE network to 95% of the population of the United States, and touts enhanced “quality in the near term” for AT&T and T-Mobile customers.

Those of a patriotic bent will be glad to know that the transaction will make T-Mobile USA a U.S.-based company instead of a German telecom company that ironically calls itself T-Mobile USA. However, if you want to use a GSM phone, you won’t be left with many choices if this deal does go through. But in AT&T’s press release, the company emphasized how the U.S. market will continue to be competitive even after this deal:

The U.S. wireless industry is one of the most fiercely competitive markets in the world and will remain so after this deal. The U.S. is one of the few countries in the world where a large majority of consumers can choose from five or more wireless providers in their local market. For example, in 18 of the top 20 U.S. local markets, there are five or more providers. Local market competition is escalating among larger carriers, low-cost carriers and several regional wireless players with nationwide service plans. This intense competition is only increasing with the build-out of new 4G networks and the emergence of new market entrants.

Is this good news or bad? Both, according to Forrester Research analyst Charles Golvin, who told Mashableminutes ago:

“AT&T’s acquisition of T-Mobile, if approved, brings good news and bad news. The good news: high-speed mobile broadband service will improve in quality and coverage, including — in the long run — those in rural communities outside the reach of terrestrial broadband today. The bad news: the cost of that service won’t come down nearly as fast as customers would like, since AT&T and Verizon Wireless combined would own nearly three out of every four wireless subscriptions in the US. While clearly troublesome for Sprint and other mobile smaller mobile competitors, It’s also bad news for cable operators, whose incipient mobility products will suffer in comparison to what AT&T and Verizon can offer.”

The invitation (pictured) features a large 2 with the calendar page pulled back just enough to give a glimpse of what could be the next iPad.  Some have noted that the page is not pulled back far enough to show the facetime camera which we are certain will be on iPad 2.

It is also interesting to note that Apple decided to hold an event to announce iPad 2 on the second day of March.  Coincidence or clever marketing?  We believe the latter.  Now that we know when the second generation iPad will officially be revealed, we will wait patiently and hope Steve Jobs is able to make the announcement.

The event will be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco at 10:00 am.  Apple has used this venue to introduce a number of products in recent years including the first generation iPad.

Are you planning on getting the second generation iPad?
