Underwear Modles Without Underwear

And 'The born-Pad!

is approaching the coming of the perfect eBook reader? Apple has officially introduced its new I-Pad. It 'easy enough to predict an overwhelming success! Italian market comes to March or April of 2010 at a price not exactly cheap (estimated between 500 and 850 dollars) but still acceptable to the audience, fairly large, fan fans of technologically advanced products, precious and exclusive. Apple has confirmed its ability to immediately use all the hardware and software innovations to synthesize and provide the products that his customers loyal following (and a little snobby) expects. The main features are: size 24x19 cm, thickness less 1.5 cm, length of 10-hour rechargeable battery, flash memory, 16GB to 32GB to 64GB. Total size and reading, thickness and weight (about 700 gr.) Practically similar to those of an ordinary printed book ... but the ability to use and registration in a laptop. Other basic technical characteristics are: Processor System-on-a-Chip Apple 1GHz A4 high-performance and low power consumption, multi-touch screen LED backlit 9.7-inch high-resolution and viewing angle of 178 degrees, keyboard Virtual on-screen, Wi-Fi (802.11 a / b / g / n), Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, digital compass and positioning Wi-Fi, integrated mono audio and microphone, ambient light sensors and accelerometer, 3G transfer fast data, assisted GPS and cellular network are available only for the more expensive models, Wi-Fi + 3G. Steve Jobs said when introducing him: "iPad is our Most advanced technology in a revolutionary and magical device at an unbelievable price".

But Amazon, which is considered the most qualified manufacturer and distributor eBooks for the Kindle replies that it is cheaper for the cost of the platform and books without considering the cost of phone connections (in USA) is free for life of the equipment, also underscores the superiority of its electronic ink technology (more sharp and usable in full sun) and the short time use (10 hours a week against some of their devices). Other critics (smaller screen, less memory, lack of USB ports ...) and allegations that he created a clone of his P38 come from Shenzhen Great Loong Brother Industrial Co which sells in China for more than six months. Google meanwhile, lets in rumors about the characteristics of its Google Tablet: 10.1-inch screen, multi touch technology, 64GB SSD, an ARM-based Tegra NVIDIA, WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth, Ethernet, USB, webcam, multi-card reader and audio outputs and more.

We see, then, what's missing to 'I-Pad and what it actually offers to the consumer market. For the most obvious shortcomings is obvious: as presented lacks a camera (now integrated into every netbook), has no phone connection, it has a slot for SD card, no USB ports or HDMI outputs, and above all not own multitasking (can do, in fact, a single function at a time). And one that offers a complete and very easy access to a range of services: E-mail photos and video, from YouTube to iTunes and App Store, etc.. Are also a calendar and address book contacts, you can also search using Spotlight and a recording of notes and annotations by type using the virtual keyboard. At first glance it seems a bit 'for the famous little tablet that would revolutionize the publishing and distribution of newspapers, magazines and books in the near future. Amazon Kindle and probably will still be able to defend themselves but the ability of the Apple, to make alliances, to identify and explore new trade routes, involving application developers, etc.., suggests that there really is a great success for the I-Pad and its new versions (according to customs that are sure to be well established already in the pipeline). The best cards to play for the I-Pad, as well as the appeal of an Apple product, are the application and the expected iBooks iBook Store where to direct purchase of texts on the same philosophy that led to the success of iTunes. Among the partners in the operation have already announced major publishers such as Hachette, Macmillan, Penguin, Simon & Shuster, etc..

course, the battle has just begun and will take place mainly with the new "tablet pc" features that promise the most complete, and a philosophy of approach to the problem unless the owner of the eBook and commercial ... in some ways more liberal about the spread fee of publications and information. The philosophy of approach to the problem of Apple is clearly identifiable, as well as the lack of multi-tasking and a real keyboard, even in the choice of operating system: iPhone OS instead of a Mac OS X modified for multi-touch screens. The system iPhone OS, in fact, exclude the user from direct control of the paths for saving and opening data. The philosophy of laissez-faire approach, by contrast, sees an object in the I-Pad practically useless, incapable of doing anything that can make any laptop or a cheap netbook with touchscreen. The battle, therefore, in our view, will take place primarily on the philosophy of this approach: choose a simple digital music player or a real mini-notebook and simultaneously able to freely use any application you want?

difficult to forecast market developments, but you can certainly say that the immediate future there will be a diversification: first, the touchscreen TabletPC (maybe thinner and lighter) able to read eBooks, ePaper, etc.., but also equipped with processors and multitasking operating systems and how far it is all 'I- Pad (camera, webcam, keyboard, USB ports, etc.). and secondly the simple readers (probably in color) with some additional features (for viewing photos and movies, check e-mail, connect to the Internet, take notes, etc..) that will make the weight and portability (see the already oversized flexible screens incoming high-resolution touchscreen technology) the best weapon.
