Apple Will Worry About iPad Competition When It Exists

Apple Will Worry About iPad Competition When It Exists

Posted on Jan 26, 2012 by MG3

When asked today about how Apple was handling the competition from lower-priced tablets—specifically the Kindle Fire—Apple CEO Tim Cook said, effectively, that it isn't a competition at all. Which would sound like hubris, if the numbers didn't back him up so strongly.

OnLive Desktop turns your iPad into a cloud-based Windows 7 PC, and its free

OnLive Desktop turns your iPad into a cloud-based Windows 7 PC, and its free

Posted on Jan 14, 2012 by MG1

It was just recently when told you that OnLive is shifting its efforts from cloud gaming to cloud computing. However, the results from the company's work are already here. Introducing OnLive Desktop for the iPad – a cloud-based PC desktop environment that brings Windows 7 functionality to your iPad.
In a nutshell, it works just like OnLive's cloud gaming solutions. All of the processing happens on its servers while the user is given audio and video feedback, as well as control over the input, of course. Technically, it should feel like using a Windows 7 PC with productivity applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and will even let you store 2 gigs of data in your personal cloud.

Amazon launches iPad Kindle eBook store

Amazon launches iPad Kindle eBook store

Posted on Jan 11, 2012 by MG15

Amazon introduced a Kindle store optimized specifically for the iPad today. It’s not a native app available in the App Store, so don’t think Amazon gave into Apple’s strict in-app purchasing rules. Rather, the iPad-optimized Kindle store is accessible at amazon.com/iPadKindleStore. It only works when typed into Safari on iPad.
Once there, you are greeted with a horizontal list of book covers representing the editors’ picks. In the left column is all the main categories of eBooks as well as some of Amazon’s featured sections like New York Times Bestsellers, New & Noteworthy, and Kindle Singles. On the right, you’ll find the familiar Top 100 list of current bestselling books. For obvious reaso...

Microsoft rumored to be working on Office for iPad

Microsoft rumored to be working on Office for iPad

Posted on Nov 30, 2011 by MG1

The folks over at The Daily claim to have obtained information that Microsoft is planning on releasing a version of Office for the iPad. With Office being Microsoft’s second biggest seller, second only to Windows, and the iPad accounting for over 80 percent of the tablet market, it appears that an Office for iPad app would be a powerhouse release for Microsoft.
Since Apple has already established a $10 price point for its productivity iPad apps, such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, The Daily is speculating that Microsoft will release around the same $10 mark in order to be competitive.
Microsoft is also working on the next edition of Office that will be fully compatible with OS X Lion as wel...

How You Can Get a Fresh iPad for $100

How You Can Get a Fresh iPad for $100

Posted on Oct 13, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: TabletsAppleiPad

I love my iPad. It's the original model, bought on April 3, 2010. It's been working perfectly since then but the battery life was really bad, lasting only a couple of hours lately. It was exhausted. I had to replace it.
In the process, I got a fresh iPad 64GB at the Apple Store for just $100. The good news, you can get one too.
After so many charging cycles, my original iPad's battery was exhausted. It took forever to recharge and only a few hours to completely run out. I remember the days when I first got it. I could use it normally for a couple of days, watching at least two Netflix movies on it or browsing the web, running some apps and reading comic books.
I went to the Apple Store to as...

97.2% of US tablet traffic is from the iPad

97.2% of US tablet traffic is from the iPad

Posted on Oct 13, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: TabletsAppleiPad

With an onslaught of Android tablets, a webOS tablet and the BlackBerry PlayBook, you might have thought the iPad is in danger. Wait until you see the share all these tablets got in August 2011 - 2.8% of all tablet traffic in the States. No typo here.
“In August 2011, iPads delivered 97.2 percent of all tablet traffic in the U.S. iPads have also begun to account for a higher share of Internet traffic than iPhones (46.8 percent vs. 42.6 percent of all iOS device traffic),” comScore’s latest report states.
It’s interesting to see which were the rest of the tablets accounting for a meagre 2.8% of all US tablet traffic, but in either case the facts are hard to ignore here.

Facebook Project Spartan and iPad Apps come next Week

Facebook Project Spartan and iPad Apps come next Week

Posted on Sep 29, 2011 by MG15

Facebook is supposed to launch a HTML5 platform for mobile devices dubbed Project Spartan. Many assumed Facebook would unveil it at the Facebook F8 conference last week, but that did not happen. Now TechCrunch reports, after some Spartan screens leaked, that Facebook is launching Project Spartan and iPad apps early next week.

According to reports Facebook and Apple are still discussing if Facebook is unveiling their iPad app on Tuesday in the Apple event or on Monday on their own. TechCrunch calls Apple and Facebook "Frenemies.", which hits it on the head. Apple has already let Twitter into their world. They need to actually do the same with Facebook unless Apple is doing their own social n...

JPMorgan analysts noted that it’s the first cut they’ve seen for the iPad so far.

Sprint iPad on the way alongside iPhone 5?

Sprint iPad on the way alongside iPhone 5?

Posted on Sep 15, 2011 by MG1

We know that the iPhone 5 should be coming to Sprint in October but the third-largest mobile operator may also be getting the Apple tablet to go along with it.
According to 9to5Mac, Apple has prepared a 3G iPad which will be compatible with Sprint’s network. This is different than the Verizon 3G iPad but the report doesn’t mention whether there will be WiMax 4G support or not. I don’t picture Apple being the biggest fan of WiMax but I think that having 4G in an iPad could be a very cool thing.
The AT&T version has a 3G iPad but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the next version have AT&T’s 4G. The issue is that having 4G on each network will require different radios and Apple generally doesn’t ...

Ex-Samsung Electronics manager pleads guilty in insider trading probe with Apple iPad components

Ex-Samsung Electronics manager pleads guilty in insider trading probe with Apple iPad components

Posted on Sep 15, 2011 by MG1

A former employee of Samsung Electronics said he indeed supplied screen components shipping information to a hedge fund manager about the upcoming Apple iPad last year.
Samsung is making some of the screens and other gear for the first iPad, so Suk-Joo Hwang was lured by promises for flying models on a private jet during weekend trips to Iceland in exchange for insider info about Apple's upcoming disruption device. We kid, but Wall Street somehow got under the guy's skin, and after 14 years of humble work for Samsung Electronics USA, he was trapped by the necessity to install a granite countertop in his old kitchen.
The guy has been granted immunity from the New York prosecutor, in order to ...

Adobe finally brings Flash to iPhone and iPad

Adobe finally brings Flash to iPhone and iPad

Posted on Sep 12, 2011 by MG1

During the IBC trade show in Amsterdam on Friday, Adobe officially took the wraps off of its new Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5 and Adobe Flash Access 3.0 products, which will allow iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users to access Adobe Flash content. Apple, which has long rejected Adobe’s Flash technology, doesn’t need to approve the tech for it to work, either. “With Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5, media publishers now have a single, simple workflow for delivering content using the same stream to Flash-enabled devices or to the Apple iPhone and iPad,” Adobe said in...
