Apple’s Answer to the PC tablet: the iPAD is here!

For almost a year of secrecy, Apple reveals what it calls a revolutionary creation for handling emails, web browsing, viewing movie videos etc, etc.

The iPAD is just an example of a product repackaged, and will probably be a success because of PR hype it is getting from Apple. Just like the iPhone, which essentially a pocket pc made by Apple, and has been out for at least a decade.

It is rumored that the iPAD will cost between 300-400 pounds. It costs significantly more that Sony’s e-book reader which you can get for around 140 pounds, and obviously the iPAD can do much more than allowing you to read e-books. So I can see that Sony’s e-book reader is a dying breed. I don’t think that the iPAD will mark the decline in laptop sales, and I am not suggesting that it is meant to be a direct rivaling technology to laptops.

I don’t think that the iPAD is a bad idea, as it will become a valuable tool as the technology improves in the a couple of years time, and would be something I would carry around in my bag as a substitute to a laptop on the way to work.

2010 Here We Come

Hey, guys and gals, wasn’t 2009 a full of fun, where did it all go (and I am not talking about USA & UK banks). I wonder what Apple will release in terms of iPhone, will it be iPhone 4GS with 64 GB or 12 GB of memory with video –ing capabilities that will surely much up all that extra gigabyte of mems.

On my wish and work-harder –to-get list, I have a FULL HD 1280p TV, and a super Alien ware laptop.

I wish you all the success in you new years resolutions, and hope they last more than a couple of days!!!

iPhone OS 3.0 ~ the Most advanced Mobile OS

The iPhone OS 3.0 is coming up amazingly. The iPhone development community has an advantage of the new and exciting features for the upcoming iPhone OS update.

One of the exciting feature is geo-tracking, is vital for those fans with a penchant for off-road exploration. This latest iPhone OS 3.0 beta release has magnetometer (compass), will indeed be integrated into the new iPhone.

This compass feature is a boon for geo-tracking iPhone. !!!

The upcoming iPhone will have an in-built compass, and this feature basically confirms as much. The iPhone’s compass will finally bring augmented reality technologies to the latest iPhone OS 3.0 beta release. Without a compass, the iPhone can’t easily determine the direction in which it’s facing. This would make it highly impossible for the software to figure out what data to overlay on the screen.
The known Sekai Camera iPhone application concept and the Wikitude application on the Android OS, the augmented reality has not yet been quite possible on the iPhone that was introduced by Tonchidot.

Since the technology advances, we now have the magnetometer that has been confirmed for the latest version of iPhone, we can now expect to see all kinds of highly technological, cool and amplified augmented reality apps hitting the AppStore.

The next-generation iPhone OS will apparently feature parental controls for iPhone apps, apparently in response to all the bad press reviews surrounding Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s AppStore application approval process.
As the parental controls will relieve the pressure on parents of the adult content viewer-ships of age limits 4+, 9+, 7+ and 12+, and allow parents to restrict access to iPhone applications: presumably this will have an advantage of allowing Apple to approve a range of applications with less focus on “clean” content.
As per the grapevine the apple may be preparing to loosen its application-approval standards with parental controls for iPhone apps.

Until we wait with baited breath in anticipation the iPhone OS 3.0 is going to offer some very exciting new cooool features!.
