Overview on ipad (Apple Tablet Pc)



we all heard about the new tablet pc from apple called iPad , its very smart device that falls between a laptop and a smart phone , with its 9.7 inch display screen with capacitive multi-touch turn around capability which makes it a very handy device , this devices comes in a variety of storage capacity starting at 16GB for $499 dollars , keep in mind that there are upgrades options for the wifi and 3g as it considered as an extra to add on which I personally thinks its worth it . However I was disappointed because you will have to pay extra for a service, which theoretically should be included. Except my guess is that apple has decided to cut down the prices to make it more affordable. Nevertheless this device has a 1Ghz Apple A4 CPU and of course the flash storage ranging from 16 to 64GB. Ipad and iphose has shared similar OS environment which makes ipad capable of running most of the apps available on iTunes for phone 3G , but that wont stop designers to create special apps for ipad to use its extra capability of processer to launch more powerful apps .but unforchantly ipad has few drawbacks , according to Gizmodo a well-known a technology weblog has listed the drawbacks as
· Lack of camera
· Lack of Multitasking
· Lack of flash animation support
· Lack of capability to run under T-Mobile 3G network in USA
But reporter Leo Laporte has distinguished farther drawbacks such as
· Lack of video output
· Lack of USB or Fire-Wire ports
· Iinability to run a chat apps with other applications

However this drawback might be overcome in the new generation of iPad. As a similar situation accrued with iphone 2G, as it has improved enormously with the second versions overcoming the previous issues.

AT&T provides data plan on their 3g network in two options from as little as $14.99 for 250MB or $30 for unlimited data plan.If you are interested to use this device in your business, apple has provided a solution software called iwork that will turn this tablet pc to an effective business tool, the iwork available for the cost of $9.99 only.

This apple iPad tablet pc will be available some time in late march 2010

Nexus One (Google Phone)



Finally the most powerful Google phone yet to be released , as Google android is available to order unlocked from their web site for $529 and also have the option to have it engraved in two lines , which makes very personalized phone . the engraved idea was used by apple on their ipod products , so its not exclusive act to Google. Any how the phone is very powerful , its running one GHZ processor which makes it pretty much powerful hand held device maybe very useful with little tricks and tweaks , I guess hackers will get that power to good use J or maybe abuse , but having that said, will you trade your shinny iphone for one of those?????
