So far the two closest devices Sony electronics has to the Apple iPad is the E-Reader and the VAIO P. The E-Reader is similar to the iPad in general form, but specs wise, the eBook reader is hardly a match for the newly launched multi-purpose tablet. The VAIO P on the hand is a super slim net book; compared to the iPad, the VAIO P can do more things, but it still lacks that accessibility provided by the tablet.
In a recently held press conference in Tokyo, Sony’s chief financial officer was quoted saying that the Japanese company is very interested in the tablet market and that they have the “skills” to create a good product. Consider Sony’s history with amazing gadgets such as the Walkman, the Cybershot and the Playstation Portable, one can only expect nothing but an amazing hardware when they do decide to make a tablet.
Resource wise, the global electronics giant has more than enough to being working on tablet. If the iPad’s multi functionality seems like a tough hurdle, Sony can easily fill in demands for both eBook readers and video game players.
Sony already has the E-Reader and a vast library of content for tablet users. With the existing technology of the E-reader, they are also in a position of creating a familiar environment for readers on their tablet.
Video Games are a major aspect where Sony easily surpasses Apple. The company has many first party games developed for their console systems such as the Playstation 3 and the PSP. They also have great ties with existing developers and would find it easy to attract developers into their system; having a tablet that can access the existing PSN network and its contents (such as downloadable games) would also be an advantage.

Google has done it again! They have integrated the best features of the web and usability into their own personal brand; The Google Nexus One. The Google Nexus One is unparalleled in the history of mobile phones and this is definitely a must have for the year 2010. The Google has made every aspect that their name represents available into a little pocket-sized compact device. The diminutive size of the phone makes it ideal when travelling and you need to stay in touch with important associates.
The Google Nexus One has all of the fundamental Google capabilities that one would normally experience on the web. The usability is slick and effective with the stroke of a finger, sliding and double tapping apps and selections for implementation. The weather widgets are especially fluid and concise.
All of the integrations are focused on the aspect of social networking. This is where the Google Nexus One comes in handy. With the accurate picture imaging, you can update your profile with newer pictures without necessarily worrying about the quality. Focus imaging stability is unsurpassed when the Nexus One is concerned. The videos can be taken with the ease of 20 frames a second.
No one ever thought that Google would raise the bar on the quality of mobile phones, but they did. Even though HTC created the Nexus One, the phone is still running on the basic Google apps and usability. If Google continues to increase their productive innovations, they will be practically dominating the market in all areas of technology. The iPhone is being compared to the integrated Google functions. Unlike the focus that is applied on the Google operating system, iPhone is not necessarily dominated by any entity. The Google Nexus One has the advantage of using a universal platform and apps which make the larger market base fancy the phone with the apps and programs that come with it. So many people are already integrating with the functions of Google in their daily lives. Google has taken the usability of their features by taking their persona to the Smartphone level. Even though the iPhone has over 100,000 games, Google at present has only 19,000 games, but this will change over time.
In Europe, the Nexus One will be available from Vodafone and in the US the phone will be available from T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless. Buying an unlocked phone is inevitably expensive. Some people might try to take advantage of the 2-year contracts offered by their phone retailers then attempt to shut off their service before being billed. Most services will charge a price for early termination that costs just as much as the phone would be unlocked. Either way, most are going to end up spending over 400 Euros in their quest for the Nexus One.
The Apple iPad has already been unveiled and despite Steve Jobs already laying out most of the device’s specifications, there are now new rumors regarding this much talked about device.
The biggest news of all is the presence of the iSight on the iPad which Steve Jobs was holding. Zooming in on the presentation images, fans of the Apple product have spotted what just might be the Apple iSight camera on the top of the device. While it is not officially listed in the specs of the tablet device, it could very well be present. Considering the fact that the iPad is able to handle many web related functions, it makes perfect sense that the iSight would be built into the device.
Furthermore, images of the internal frame of the iPad clearly show a provision for a camera. The only thing that hampers us from declaring the iSight a definite is the fact that the provision could also be for the ambient light sensor on the device.
On the other hand, there have also been talks that the next iPad is also in production. It would not be surprising to know that Apple is already working on the next device and that it will be more powerful and closer to the Mac in terms of specs. Looking at the iPad, one cannot help but see the device as an oversized iPod Touch in terms of specifications.
A new, larger iPad would certainly attract the more hardcore tech fans while the first iPad is geared towards the general public. The real question is not whether Apple is working on a new tablet, but simply a matter of when the next device will be ready for launch.

If you did not catch the punch line, you must have missed the amazing show during the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. For the most part, it’s a great annual event that highlights the best musical talents of today’s music industry. For tech fans, guest announcer Stephen Colbert (host of Comet Central’s Colbert Report) brought a little something extra.
When it was the host-comic’s turn to announce the nominees, he playfully “loses” his list and pops open his coat to pull out nothing other than the recently unveiled Apple iPad –much to the delight of the audience who received the electronic debutante with cheers and applause. Colbert turns to Jay-Z (in the audience) while holding up the tablet and asks “Am I cooler than you?”
Yes, Stephen, you are.
Aside from making people cooler than Jay-Z, the Apple iPad is also capable of browsing the internet, playing games, reading EBooks and handling long written messages with an onscreen keyboard. For the moment, the device is unable to handle multi tasking capabilities and according to a recent report regarding Steve Jobs’ view on Adobe, the iPad might not support Flash, ever. Steve sincerely believes that the future of the web lies in HTML5.
As the iPad in Stephen Colbert’s hand showcased the auto-rotate function (and in smooth visual movements too), the audience was clearly familiar with the device, a testament to the impact and influence of Apple in our society today. It was onstage for just a few moments, but it was easy to see that everybody seemed to like the device.
Of course, this does not necessarily mean it will become a household staple. With the device’s current limitations and its price, it will be quite some time before having a tablet becomes a common thing for the average person.

Well, for people who think that the iPad is just another tablet computer, they could not be more wrong.

Much like you would pick up a copy of today’s newspaper to look at the headlines. The short boot time, quick data access and an easily handled physical body makes the iPad an excellent data hub for everyday use.
The device comes with a 9.7 inch touch screen display and in two variants, a non 3G standard version and a 3G version with Wi-Fi. Each type of device comes in 16, 32 and 64GB variants. The 3G version also sports AGPS support.
During the iPad launch, it was revealed that the 64GB 3G version of the device would cost a whooping 829 USD and the 16GB non-3G version would be 499 USD. That’s very expensive for a mobile device. And since the iPad cannot work as a mobile phone (no voice calls), many would be hard pressed to get this device when there is little use of it at the present. So far, no prices for the device’s UK version have been announced but it is estimated that they would reflect the US prices for the tablet.
Also, it has been confirmed that various operators such as O2, Orange, Vodafone and T-Mobile have been in talks with Apple in order to bring the device into UK.

Apple just brought out one of two major devices they are slated to launch this year, the iPad tablet.

Aside from 3G net access, the 3G version will also have GPS support making it the perfect device to use with Google maps.
The launch of this device is a big success for Steve Jobs who has been laboring pretty hard to give birth to this ambitious piece of hardware. It has been confirmed that companies such as EA and McGraw-Hill are supporting the device, meaning that the iPad will be able to target both eBook readers and gamers. While it has yet to be shown exactly what the graphics capabilities of the tablet are, it will certainly be able to handle all of the games that can be run on the iPhone and then some.
The only drawback about the iPad is that it is unable to handle text messages and voice calls. The only thing 3G connectivity gives is internet access.
The other device Apple is scheduled to announce and release for this year is the new iPhone 4G. So far, details on the 4G are still sketchy. It was reported that the device would come with a touch sensitive casing and a new dual core processor. Apple is expected to unveil or at least announce the device this coming April.
