There has been a lot of coverage made by media all over the world about the iPad and how it would be another failure by Apple or another success much like the iPhone. There are speculations being thrown everywhere and every time a request for clarification was made at Apple, most often than not the requests are turned down.

Apple’s approach on eBook may confuse consumers

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

As the iPad is soon to be released, questions regarding the format of the eBooks meant for iPad have surfaced. This is because it was made public that the eBooks downloaded for the iPad can only be used for the iPad itself and the iTunes application. This means that there are in no way that the eBooks will be compatible with any other eReaders in the market.

This might not be a very good move because as of now, the Kindle by Amazon has gained much popularity within the eReader population. Little compatibility with various eReader may cause users hesitant to change from one eReader to another simply because they cannot afford to lose all of their books while making the changes.

Other eReaders such as the smartphone, Barnes and Noble Nook and various Sony Inc. eReaders have opted to use the media formats made by Adobe. This allows eBooks to be shift from one platform to the other because they are compatible with the same format.

However, Apple is sure that its large consumer fans will have no problem adapting to the new changes made by the company. The fact that it has 125 million credit cards consumers created from its iTunes may create millions of sales for the iPad itself.

China PC Maker to Sue Apple for iPad Design

Monday, February 1st, 2010

The iPad has certainly caused frenzy amongst gadget enthusiasts but those aren’t the only people who are frenzied by the tablet. In fact, a Chinese company, Shenzhen Great Loong Brother Industrial, may consider suing the American company for mimicking the design of its tablet called the P88.

The China based company is notorious for creating iPhone replicas also called as shanzhai phones. In addition to the iPhone, the company also created various replicas of other famous phones from manufacturers such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson and many more.

The P88 has a similar design to the iPad with its black border and has a size almost the same with the iPad. The P88 has a total width of 10.2 inches while the iPad on the other hand has a 9.7 inches screen. In addition to that, it is reported that the P88 utilizes a touch screen feature much like the iPad as well. However, the iPad has a battery life of 10 hours instead of only 1 hour of usage for the P88.

It appears that the China electronics manufacturer isn’t alone on suing the Apple. A Japanese manufacturer Fujitsu also claimed rights to the name iPad. Apple has yet to comment on the following issues clouding its tablet device.

iPad Finally Announced by Apple

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Starting at a price of $499 for a non-3G 16GB model, this surprised many speculators as they have concluded that the device would cost at least $700 at the minimum. The 32GB version on the other hand costs $599 while the 64GB would cost $699. Those wanting to use the 3G connection would have to fork out another $130 for the 3G version of the notebook. The highest spec for the iPad would be no more than $829.

Apple utilized a multi-touch approach for this device and it works a bit more or less like the iTouch or the iPhone. This device also looked like an e-Reader device and can act like one too.

The iPad is called by Apple as a revolutionary media tool with multi-purpose functions. It can run movies, music, TV shows, games and many more in a single device. However, its performance has yet to wow the audience as it is using Apple’s on 1Ghz A4 Chip.

So far, the iPad has yet to impress the audience and was called by a lot of reviewers as a disappointment. This is due to the fact of its unattractive design and also because of the lack of advantage the device holds. This device is to be released after 30 to 60 days since the announcement was made.
