Apple 8-inch iPad Test – Report By WSJ

Admin — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:20:17 +0000

WSJ (Wall Street Journal) draw closer attention on Apple 8-inch iPad testing. That Apple is currently testing a smaller version of the iPad and Cupertino’s planning to produce a smaller, 8-inch slate to partner its 9.7-inch flagship that, if it ever sees the light of day, would compete with the highly successful Kindle Fire. It’ll pack a screen with a resolution close to the 1024 x 768 display on the current model.

This model might also run on LTE produced by AU Optronics and LG Display, as test device with the same screen resolution as the current iPad 2, which will apparently be replaced with the iPad 3’s high-res “retina display” possibly by March launch.

Apple wants to expand its product pipeline to maintain its leading position in the tablet market by releasing a cheaper model iPad to boost its demand to those on a budget. The Fire’s success suggests a big market for a shrunk-down iPad, if the price shrinks as well.

Mac OS X vs Windows 7 – OS Updates

Admin — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:30:55 +0000

Microsoft and Apple are fighting for mindshare of the consumers as both companies are roll out to upgrade their operating systems at the end of this year.

Apple showed Worldwide Developers Conference by Snow Leopard on Monday, the next main version of Mac OS-X. Apple has been very open about the fact an under-the-hood maintenance release, focusing on performance enhancements to the OS.

Windows-7 is basically Microsoft’s maintenance release for Vista, which according to many accounts was a failure for the company. “It’s really doesn’t matter the degree of the rewrite in the operating system. “The key is the consumer benefit.”

In early testing of Windows-7 its to bear out improvements in the operating system, Microsoft is coming with a very bad consumer experience with Windows Vista. That is not a minor obstacle for it to overcome.

Microsoft will fight with the industry perception that Windows-7 is just Vista with a few fixes. Which lead to slower adoption of the new operating system out of the gate.

Mac OS-X Leopard was a solid release, filled with features. Overall, Leopard had comparatively few problems throughout its life cycle. Apple on the other hand is coming off one of the most successful operating system launches in the company’s history.

Apple doesn’t have to fight off to negative perception from its users/the industry. Macs have been selling better than ever and there is no sense in slowing down anytime soon.

Apple sells its new OS for $129. That’s a flat fee. Everyone gets the same version that contain all features and enhancements. However, Leopard users will be offered an upgrade to Snow Leopard for $29. Microsoft is releasing its upgrade pricing, but it is expected to be much higher.

“The OS war is on in a big way,” Charging $29 won’t win Apple any converts, but Microsoft is going to look really bad with its upgrade pricing.

It’s obvious that Microsoft has a much bigger channel to push Windows-7 to customers, but we’ve seen with the Vista release that doesn’t always mean success for an operating system.

Apple is coming from a strong position with Mac OS-X Leopard, so its newest Snow Leopard release should be very strong.

Apple’s Snow Leopard is expected to dispatch in September. Microsoft will release Windows-7 in October.

iPhone Clone – Lenovo oPhone

Admin — Wed, 27 May 2009 08:02:09 +0000

The name is quite similar that’s why it’s called iPhone clone , however about features, we think it’s different.

Rumours – MAC’s New Cheap Laptops

Mon, 04 May 2009 06:27:54 +0000

Apple Mac Laptop

Economy slowdown and the popularity of cheap netbooks, Apple is “tailoring changes” that will “drive down prices” of the most accepted Mac laptop models.

Customers in the coming months can look forward to more affordable versions of both the 13-inch MacBook and iMac, according to people who’ve proven extremely reliable in predicting Apple’s future business directions. The MacBook — which presently begin at US$999 when fitted with a previous-generation polycarbonate enclosure and $1299 in an aluminum unibody casing — is the bestselling Mac in terms of volume. BTW, iMac is the most admired Mac desktop.

It’s believed that the first batch of more affordable Macs could turn up as early as this spring.

Mac laptop Industry Standard editor Ian Lamont predicted in December that Apple would terminate the iMac desktop line, because of the mass market’s move to low-cost, portable computers.

But Apple-watchers have known for months that Apple couldn’t possibly be ignoring the recession-driven shift in the PC market away from $1,000 notebooks to $300 netbooks. Acer chairman J.T. Wang has forecast that 1 in 4 laptops bought next year will be netbooks. Gartner’s more conservative forecast says that’ll be true in three years.

Steve Jobs said, “We don’t know how to build a sub-$500 computer that is not a piece of junk.” Cheaper Macs at this point are a given. What remains to be seen for fans is how Apple will redefine the idea of low-cost computer.

Update: Another runour is MAC is adding 3G services to upcoming Macbook as well. Wow! That’s unique feature. I’m really excited for this, are you… Share your thoughts.

Handson with Apple iPhone 4G Concept

Admin — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 07:47:22 +0000

Square iPhone 4G could be a nice piece of art from Apple atleast from look & feel. It’s made of titanium and glass, the phone has an advanced look which is even more pronounced by the OLED screen.

Apple iPhone 4G Snapshot

Features: Apple iPhone important features are GPS, 32GB capacity & removable battery, however the most excited one is the front camera meant for iChat & the iPhone 4G with 3.2 megapixel camera. The iPhone 4G height is 4.2 inches and in width it’s 2.4. It’s just 9 mm thick, weighting 4.4 ounces.

Concept Behind iPhone 4G
The iPhone 4G design concept is probably better than the iPhone 4G but it’s strictly subjective point of view.

Concept of Apple iPhone 4G

Obviously, people are very excited for videoconferencing through this iPhone 4G & it’s other features.

Let’s see how Apple plan to launch…

How to run iTune faster

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:15:45 +0000

iTunes

I feel iTunes is the single slowest application on some PC’s. However, there are few ways to goose iTunes, to make it a little less pokey than usual. I’m not promising a dramatic speed increase, just somewhat more efficient operation.

First, turn off Genius by clicking Store, Turn Off Genius but that will delete all collected Genius data. It’s a neat feature, but this has been noticed that it seems awfully “busy” at times. Anything that’s demanding iTunes’ attention is also hurting its performance. I never thought it was that smart, anyway.

Second, click Edit, go on Preferences, Sharing, and then disable Look for shared libraries & Share my library on the local network. Whenever there’s ongoing network activity, you can count on a performance hit. Of course, if you are sharing your iTunes library, skip this step.

Finally, switch over to the Apple TV tab & disable Look for Apple TVs. It’s another case of superfluous network activity that can only hurt performance.

I’m sure Apple would do some fine-tuning in this regard.

iPhone display into TV screen demo

Sat, 06 Dec 2008 06:54:34 +0000

Ars Technica has recently found some undocumented features of the SDK in the new iPhone 2.2 software.

Apple iPhone Snapshot

The most interesting of these features is the MPTVOutWindow class. This class allows developers to output the iPhone’s screen to a larger screen, such as a TV, thereby taking advantage of its speakers and size. The user still uses the iPhone & its accelerometer to maneuver in a game such as Moto Chaser, which is shown in the demo. Check out the cool video….

The output is currently only 20 frames per second, while most commercial games are around 30fps. If the iPhone and iPod Touch can reach those speeds, it will be all the more better. All together, the whole development process to get this feature integrated into their game only cost the company about 3 hours of work, which was mostly due to XCode provisioning issues. Any comments or progress from your side…

Apple in ear headphones- $79

In the past, we heard about new in-ear headphones from Mr. Jobs back in September. In December, they’ve finally appeared. Each earbud’s got its own woofer and tweeter, so be prepared for Master of Puppets to sound better than ever.

They’ve got a built-in remote and mic — yet curiously aren’t compatible with the iPhone — and they come with three sets of interchangeable silicone tips for small, medium, and large ears. Well, $79 is the price tag for this.
