Posted by NgocT on April 8th, 2010 No Comments

What is it?
The very anticipated event from Apple came and went today and we are gifted with the iPhone OS 4. There are a lot of overdue features which will be available this June with some still missing. Here are the main seven “Tentpoles”.

What it has?
- Multitasking: Seven multitasking services which will allow tasks to be performed in the background while preserving performance and battery life.
- Folders: Organize apps into folders with drag-and-drop simplicity.
- Enchaned Mail: See messages from all your email accounts displayed together in a unified inbox.
- iBooks: Apple’s way to browse, buy, and read books on a mobile device.
- iAd: Apple’s mobile advertising platform that allows ads to be displayed and have interactivty inside apps.
- Enterprise: Enhancements to security, scalability, and compatibility for IT Managers.
- Game Center: Invite friends to play a game, start a multiplayer game through matchmaking and track achievements and compare high scores on a leader board.

What it needs?
The iPhone OS 4 is definitely a step in the right direction for Apple and is required for it to stay competitive with Android and Windows Phone 7. Some of the things that were missing are 3G tethering, deleting default apps, and list of recent notifications like Android.

The ICD Gemini is definitely packed with features, but to make it a true competitor out there, it needs Windows 7, then it will be a full blown computer in a tablet form.

Apple iPad – Launch Day

Posted by NgocT on April 3rd, 2010 No Comments

What is it?
The Apple iPad has been announced for a while now, but today is the launch day and so we will take a look at it while the the few and the proud have their hands all over its fingerprint-attracting surface. The cheapest model comes in at $499 and the most expensive comes in at $829.

What it has?
- 9.7″ capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display
- 1GHz Apple A4 chip
- 10-hour battery life
- 1-month standby
- 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB flash drive memory
- Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n
- Bluetooth 2.1 EDR
- 3G UMTS/HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100 MHz) – optional
- GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) – optional
- 30-pin Dock connector
- A speaker and a microphone

What it needs?
There is no doubt this device is going to be powerful and smooth. But one thing that will definitely restrict its successful is the data plans – pay $15 a month for 250MB of AT&T data or $30 for unlimited. If apple puts a 4G chip in there and do $30 a month unlimited plan through Clear or Sprint or Comcast, then you are looking at a netbook killer. Throw in tethering via Wi-Fi, I would of stood in line today.
