The Android tablets are catching up with iOS

http://i.imgur.com/IcogARU.jpg

Since the launch of the iPad, the device known Apple has always placed first in the market for tablets , and in fact it was thanks to him that the tablets won a remarkable popularity. Still coping with the tablets that use the operating system Android is no easy task. Companies no longer focus only on making $ 500 models as when the first tablets running Android were launched, things have changed and the famous  iOS could lose his throne in the hands of the Google platform. And it's likely to happen soon.
According to the latest research from Strategy Analytics, tablet sales more than doubled in the last year. In early 2012 we sold almost 20 million tablets worldwide, while in early 2013 the units sold were over 40 million. It is noteworthy that during this period the Android market share rose from 34% to 43%, which puts you very close to iOS, which in the past year fell from 63% to 48%.
Android is almost up to iOS, and do not be surprised if soon manages to surpass the Apple operating system.
What do you think? Android? Can do?

You know Google Now? It is a personal assistant that is available for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and later versions of the Android platform. Now Google is able to ask questions, recommendations, interact with web services and various other things. It is something like the Siri of Apple , but Google version.

Now it seems to be coming to iOS application as soon, but do not know exactly when. Google has yet to make official statements and will probably not soon.
Google Now was released in the month of July and was exclusive to Android 4.1, also the first phone to incorporate it was obviously the Google Nexus. Since Google applications are rarely unique to one platform, we're sure you will not be long Now we see on our iPhone.

http://i.imgur.com/zl1asO2.jpg

A manufacturer of case for the iPad has been sanctioned by the government of Shanghai because they have contaminated a local river, reports the Financial Times. Dumping waste into the river by Riteng, Casetek subsidiary, has slowly contaminated water since it opened # 3 Songjiang factory two years ago. There are hardly any live fish in the river, and local farmers say they can not use their water to irrigate crops.

The latest incident took place a few weeks ago during the celebration of Chinese New Year, when some workers threw debris into the river, and the company has stated that this should not be the case and that was a mistake on their employees. Fengqiang Liu, one of the environmental leaders in the area, not quite agree with the version of events offered by the company and insists that the housing management is the real culprit of this.

It was requested that representatives of Riteng explain the case at a hearing next week, and no-shows, the local government has said it will have the worst punishment.

Apple has refused to comment on it, but has said yes Riteng iPad manufactures some parts, but have not opened my mouth for anything else. Surely in the coming days we will have more developments.

Apple Announces iPad 128GB

 http://i.imgur.com/dUvNFdz.jpg

It was a couple of days ago when I commented that Apple was about to introduce a new iPad to 128GB of memory and on Tuesday the device was officially announced. It is, as we said at the time, an improved version of the iPad in April that went on sale early November 2012 along with the known iPad Mini.

The new iPad was announced quietly on Tuesday morning through the company website. The WiFi version will cost $ 800, while the version with WiFi + cellular connectivity will cost $ 930 dollars. These new prices almost put the iPad to match the MacBook Air, which costs $ 1000. Because of this, many will think twice before buying a Mac and vice versa, although I personally think it would go for Apple's handheld. What you choose you: iOS + touch screen or physical keyboard + OS X?

Phil Schiller, vice president of marketing at Apple, said that with double the storage memory and more than 300,000 applications, a larger number of entrepreneurs and artists have reason to buy the iPad and start giving business level use and personal interests.

The 128GB iPad 4 will be released on February 5. To our knowledge this is the only improvement has 4 standard regarding the iPad.

Apple will soon introduce a 128GB iPad 4

 http://i.imgur.com/blgD36u.jpg

There are rumors that Apple has prepared a miniactualización for fourth-generation iPad. This is an extension memory and other changes that are destined for the called iPad 4 was launched less than 3 months.

Reportedly, the iPad 4 will now have a little more variety as there will be both a black version as a white version will also be available with cellular connectivity or WiFi connectivity only, the choice of the buyer. Besides this, the main rumor talk about an extension of the memory device, which would bring to 128GB of internal memory, which if I remember any tablet to date has. Knowing Apple, it is likely that such amount of memory the device up the price a few hundred dollars more.

We should also mention that iOS 6.1 is now closer to being released, so the next version of the mobile operating system of Apple may come included in this new version of iPad 4.

We do not know anything about price or release date, but that data will soon arrive.

Urinal for children with iPad included, for future Bill Gates

http://i.imgur.com/djivJ.jpg

I can personally say that teaching a child to handle a computer goes through before letting a monitor with a mouse and keyboard in hand, leave it alone for an hour and when you come back you know handle it better. This innate tendency in smaller seems to have a great future in commercial because they have even invented the first potty (that I know) that comes with iPad included.

The funny thing is that the pot is designed for those children who can not yet speak or crawl and probably still is, that seems like a surefire way to keep them entertained while they are doing their physiological needs plus they are introduced to computing environments. On the other hand it also seems a way to go training them for a future in which they will spend more time looking at a screen doing something else.

If you would sell it for about 30 euros (obviously, the iPad or the tablet you want to use is not included, if not I would have asked me a couple), but for now no idea where you might find it because currently it is another of those curious inventions coming from CES2013 lately.

iPad 5 could incorporate elements of iPad Mini

http://i.imgur.com/tZTJe.jpg

Only recently launched the iPad in April and are already talking about the next generation of tablet Apple , which currently call iPad 5. According to sources close to a Japanese blog, Apple will launch the new iPad in March.
It is also said that the device will save some similarities with the iPad Mini as it will not only thinner, but also lighter than the current model. We further expect that differs in one thing: the screen resolution, since the Mini is pathetic.
If this device is actually released in March, surely many of the people who bought an iPad 4 will be somewhat angry with apple to launch new iPads every few months.
Also worth noting that the same Japanese blog reports that an improved version of iPad Mini is in the oven and use a Retina display with A6X processor, a CPU that is equal to the current iPad.

The combined power of 15 iPads

http://i.imgur.com/kfeJ9.jpg

The iPad is the king in the market for tablets. This has been true since the device was launched in mid-2010 almost. You may remember that a couple of years ago, Microsoft introduced a kind of table touch named Surface (yes, he had the same name as the tablet now), but it was not very successful, especially for its price of $ 10,000.
Now, following the example of Microsoft, people of Universal Mind has introduced a new touch table that is made ​​entirely of iPads. Specifically, this device has 15 iPads to share a wireless connection and use an application that displays all act as if they were one.
What is the approximate price of one of these? For about $ 6000, but we must clarify that used iPads are the second generation, so no Retina display here. With 15 iPads and an app as free Mobile Multi Display table we muster our own touch. If space in your home is not enough, you might want to try with 15 iPad Mini, in which case the cost would be reduced to about $ 5000 dollars.
What we are not sure of is how the tablets were operated with that app, because apparently it is developed for iPod and iPhone only.


Universal Mind So far no plans to launch a commercial model.

 http://i.imgur.com/PZquU.jpg

If you can not stand your child borrow your iPad or your Nexus 7 each time for fun, then perhaps it is time for you to buy your own tablet. The company Toys "R" Us has realized that there are few tablets geared for children, so has presented the new Tabeo.
The Tabeo, running with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, can not be compared to an iPad since hardly has a 7-inch display, a Cortex-A8 processor at 1GHz and 1GB of RAM, but obviously the idea behind the tablet is not give competition to the market leaders, but direct it to use by younger children, and it is loaded correctly.
The device comes with about 50 applications installed, among which are games and apps educational, making it the perfect tablet for children during long trips by car or bus. The maximum duration of the battery is about 10 hours, but if we use the device to watch videos be reduced to about 7 hours.
The Tabeo also has two cameras and has WiFi, also has an HDMI port and an SD card reader. Of course the tablet also has software geared to parents so that they control the websites by browsing the small. Another interesting point is that the adult can turn the Tabeo from your own mobile device.
The Tabeo of Toys "R" Us will be released in October and will cost $ 150.

Note Galaxy is already in pre-10.1

 http://i.imgur.com/Ap1gs.jpg

If you prefer to leave the popular, and instead of getting a tablet like the iPad from Apple or Amazon Kindle Fire opt for something a little less known, then a good choice for insurance is the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, which is already in presale and can be yours for $ 750, a cost that I think is a bit exaggerated. Keep in mind that this price is for the white model and unlocked.
In any case, it may seem exaggerated or not, when you buy the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Notice will be making a tablet whose technology includes a processor Exynos quad-core 1.4GHz. Besides this has 16GB of internal memory and generous touch screen measures 10.1 inches and has a resolution of 1280 × 800.
Other specifications that have leaked a few days ago Android 4.0 include 2GB of RAM and a 5 megapixel camera, but has not been officially confirmed.
