There has been allot of news lately over Apples news IPad, mainly over the fact of its just an over sized IPod touch, and which from what i can see i agree. If you own an IPod touch or IPhone there is no reason why you would even contemplate spending over £200 on a giant version. I personally have an IPhone and can read just fine things like web articles and eBooks just fine, so i have no use for this device, however if you cannot afford an IPod touch at nearly double the price and are looking for an eBook reader with a large screen then the IPad will defiantly suit your needs. The only down side i can see with this device is portability, with a 7” screen size it’s not the most compact ereader on the block. Since i don’t own one of these devices and this is just my personal opinion based on the way it looks and the explained functionality, however if you own one of these devices, please let me know your comments.

Many people have the thought that when technology advances even further there will be no need to go out to work or go out to schools, colleges and universities to study as technology will be so good that a person can do all of these from the comfort of their own home?

Being technologically away myself, I can tell you that this won’t happen on the mainstream and if some people did do this and adopt such methods for their lives,  sooner or later they will realise it’s downfalls and move elsewhere.

What’s your opinion on this?

Do you agree?

Many people in the world are looking forward to the Apple Event 2010. Why such the fuss and hesitation by not just consumers but the largest and biggest businesses in the world? Well, Apple are rumoured to announce some of their biggest products yet. Two of the main products to be announce (which are rumoured) are

• The Apple iPhone running the new Apple OS 4.0
• The new Apple tablet which has been rumoured for years on end.

It’s going to be a very big event for Apple. Another point to note is that when Apple generally announce something, the new products are released within a short time as compared to other companies.

Many people in the world want to live a super life but is that possible?

To answer this question, we need to know what is super life. Every person has a different perception of super life and so, it is sometimes possible to live the super life and sometimes it is not.

Some people want to live on the moon and others on the other side of the universe. Is this possible? You tell me.

Some people wish to be assisted by robots in all their activities. Is this possible? Many would say yes in the future but really contemplate on this and you’ll probably come to the conclusion this is not possible!

Sony Ericsson are making a smart move and releasing an Android device this February. Nokia have previously mentioned they aren’t going near Android.

The new Sony phone looks great with a massive 4 inch touch screen (which is larger than the iPhone and Google Nexus). Has a 1.0 GHz Snapdragon chip and looks amazing!

Now I’m in two minds. My G1 contract ends this April; Should I get an iPhone or the new Sony phone which has an 8.1 MP cam, loads of disk space, massive screen, unique features? Seems like slick phone!

I’ll make my decision soon. I may just go for it!

We have all heard of the new Apple tablet that is going to to be launched in the very near future and the hype around it phenomenal. With all this hype and show, Microsoft thought they need to do something about this and counter it! So, what do they do? They team up with HP and work on their own tablet PC which will probably run Windows 7 and will be cheaper in price than Apple’s tablet.

I think Apple have been more popular in recent years with the release of the iPod and iPhone so if they design it well, the Apple tablet will beat Microsoft’s… Maybe…

Apple products used to be a synonym for the word luxury and prestige, but lately we have noticed that there is nothing better than sacrificing the identity to boost the sales, as iPhone has been seen in American Wal-Mart between the butter, pair of converse and a tuna steak, just taken off the shelf. Now iPhone landed on the shelves of UK’s leading supermarket – Tesco. Although, unlike in the US Apple has their own “Apple Point” in Tesco stores.

We still wonder why for something so simple and sometimes lame we have to pay more than for a decent notebook? I guess this is that prestige Apple is all about, the price & sales prestige.

Helsinki will have the very first natural source of heat for their city infrastructure. According to Reuters the city is close to signing contract with one of the IT companies to lend them the underground anti-bomb bunker as a Data Processing Centre, which will be one of the best places that company with a big amount of servers could ever get.

DPC will be located in a underground location, cold and really just made for this kind of equipment. The special hardware will allow to conserve the heat and direct it to the specially created pipe-shafts to heat up the city during stone-cold Finnish nights. I guess we have now our really true environmental friendly solution for the amount of energy we use with our servers.

During the last few months it seems that Microsoft stays on top of its game by letting users test its products before actually buying them. Windows 7 beta was the first step towards producing half-open applications which are available to test by wide public.

New platform is not that very new to be honest but contains upgrades and improvements that will help the end user by making the interface simpler, easier to navigate. New Office has now the image background removal tool, or advanced video processing capability.

Beta version is available in 7 languages and its final version will be deployed into 5 packages instead of 8 like it was before. I guess Microsoft has a knack for “less is more”, and we like it.

Google likes to push forward the web industry boundaries with new and fancy technologies. Nine months ago they have presented us with a new and incredibly fast web browser called Chrome. Since then Google promised us a brand new operating system that would be focused on web browsing and web applications, be super-fast and really reliable.

But it seems that Google does not have a proper plan for deploying such system. We already have a really skinny versions of Linux hat can run not only browser but also local applications, not to mention that Windows 7 for netbooks will arrive soon. Some principles of the Chrome OS are going to be nice, like fast boot, which should take about 5 seconds to become operational (like a TV – you turn it on and it’s ready to go), and store most of the users data online in the cloud.

Let’s just hope that Google will find a good niche for their system as MS has stepped up with Win7’s performance and it loads even under 30 seconds which proves to be a tough competition.
