B&N Takes a Stab at the iPad

admin — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 13:16:34 +0000

Barnes and Noble has just released the nook color, a 7 inch, $250 tablet aiming to take some of the iPad's market share. It's being marketed primarily as an ebook reader, but it has most if not all other capabilities that competing tablets have.

First Android Tablet Set For March 2011

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 16:07:42 +0000

Asus will be releasing the first full Android based tablet and its release date is now set for March of next year. It will be significantly cheaper than the iPad (less than 400 bucks) so hopefully that combined with the fact that it has an operating system that we like (Android) make it a likely ipad killer.

iPad in Church Altars

admin — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 18:53:00 +0000

Even the churches are going high-tech! The Vatican has approved the use of an iPad on the altar, which will replace the normal Catholic missal. An Italian priest Paolo Padrini, who has developed the iBreviary app for iPhone before, developed an application that will let priests celebrate Mass with an iPad. This app includes the texts of the mass, the breviary, the readings of the mass, the main Catholic prayers, the stories of the saints, etc. He expects the iPad to be helpful for priests who do a lot of travel related to their work. I didn’t know that priests could be so tech-savvy! Whatever happened to the whole science vs. church war from Dan Brown’s book Angels and Demons?

South Korea Lifts its Ban on iPad

South Korea, home to two of world's three largest cell phone manufacturers Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Electronics Co., is lifting its brief ban on Apple’s iPad. I have been wondering why the iPad hasn’t been released in Korea when it was released internationally and I guess this explains why. The country’s Communications Commission issued the ban earlier this year because it had not certified the iPad's wireless networking features. This stopped people importing the iPad for personal use, which resulted in many complaints and protests over the internet. This reminds me of Korea’s two-year iPhone ban, which lasted until last November. I wonder if this is Korea’s tactic of preventing iPad imports and using that time to develop the iPad killer…

Archos 7 Home Tablet

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:17:31 +0000

I have never heard of Archos before, but they supposedly just came out with a new 7-inch Android-based tablet named the Archos 7. Archos is a French consumer electronics company that has developed a variety of products, including digital audio players, portable video players, digital video recorders, PDAs, and now tablet PCs. They also have a Windows-based Archos 9 PC tablet. Described as a tablet that bridges the gap between a smartphone and a PC, the Archos 7 provides access to the web, customization of limited number Android Apps, and multi-media content on its wide high resolution screen (800 x 480). So far, it doesn’t stand out too much from other tablet PCs, but on the plus side, the Archos 7 is more affordable. Priced at under $200, it is more than half the cost of a base model iPad!
