Apple Tablet Prototypes

2009-08-10T10:40:00.008-05:00

A rumor started and a fuzz about a new apple tablet went all over the internet. Financial times made an article saying that this device will have a 10" screen and will run the iPhone's OS.

This device that apparently will cost between 600 and 800 dlls is supposed to be launched on late 2009 or early 2010. The touchscreen device that resembles a giant iPod Touch will be launched to make simple tasks like internet browsing, checking mail and access to music, videos and all kinds of multimedia stuff.

Even though it seems like it will be launched to compete in the netbook market, it won't be considered a netbook.

Here are some interesting prototypes about this new, shiny Apple product.

Maczana.es

This is an interesting prototype, it looks like something apple would do... wait it has already done it. This one looks like the iPhone 2G instead of an iPod touch. This picture shows the apple tablet running Mac OS X and running Microsoft office. I really hope that this product would do this instead of just running the iPhone's OS.

The INNOBLOG

This is something like I would expect the Apple tablet to be. It looks like it's running an hybrid of the iPhone OS and Mac OS X. This is more like the design I think it will have because it looks like the new Cinema Displays. This is an interesting and shiny pic. I think I will buy this one.

Gizmodo

They made a Photoshop contest on gizmodo.com about two years ago. They had to design the Apple Tablet and they did some pretty interesting images. There were 2 winners, both of them made the tablet running Mac OS X. The first one has an aluminum frame and looks like a small iMac. The second one looks a lot like all the new apple products and it has a black glossy frame surrounding the screen.

PCProfessionale.it

This image looks very interesting. It doesn't show the iPhone's influence yet the OS seems like a compressed version of the Mac OS X. It has 2 USB ports on the left side as well as the earphones plug. The combination of glossy black and matte black looks awesome.

There are a lot of other tablet images yet this were the ones which caught my eye the most.

Tell me what you think about them!

Tweets on surgery

2009-02-17T17:43:00.002-06:00

Well today I was on twitter (like I normally do) catching up with some of the people I follow that ussually post interesting stuff. Browsing my TweetDeck I found this really cool tweet saying "Surgeons send 'tweets' from operating room http://tinyurl.com/dksynn" (via @perrybelcher), I must say this is completely awesome!. Maybe I got overexcited because I'm applying to med school, and I love everything to do with the matter, but I think this will be one of the people I'll track and hopefully learn a lot from their tweets.

Multi task on new iPhone and Prototype pic!

2009-02-08T13:09:00.003-06:00

According to Brighthand Apple may be preparing to remove one of the biggest limitations in the iPhone: the inability for multiple third-party applications to run at the same time.

According to an unconfirmed report, Apple will release an update for the current iPhone 3G that will offer limited support for multitasking, allowing a couple of third-party applications to run simultaneously. In addition, the next generation of Apple's smartphone will supposedly have significantly more robust hardware, and will therefore have more complete support for multitasking.

The source for this report, Mac Rumors, does not know when the iPhone 3.0 software update will be released. However, there has been much speculation that Apple will continue its habit of introducing new smartphones and major system software upgrades in the summertime.

Earlier rumors have indicated that the next iPhone will be considerably more powerful than previous models, possible even including a quad-core processor.

Here is another iPhone 4g image that i found really interesting haha... i know its almost impossible but it would be awesome to make.!

New iMac Rumor Quad Core and Dual Core

2009-02-03T13:43:00.002-06:00

A leading Mac watcher believes the mothership has settled the question of using two or four core processors in an upcoming revision of the company’s prosumer desktop. Moreover, we shouldn’t have to wait too long to get them either.

In Apple’s first fiscal quarter of 2009, although overall computer unit volume increased 9 percent, desktop sales actually declined 25 percent. With all three of Apple’s desktop offerings a year or more since the last major update, the time to release updated hardware is definitely ripe.

That said, people who make it their business to monitor Apple’s channel say that iMac supplies have become constrained, a move the company announced to resellers and one that could presage the imminent release of new kit. However, it bears remembering that Cupertino also told resellers in August of last year to expect reduced iMac supplies and nothing came of that.

Furthermore, Kaufman Brothers analyst Shaw Wu also believes updated iMacs will arrive within weeks, adding that the question of whether use dual or quad core processors with a resounding, “yes.”

In a not unprecedented move (back in the day, dual and quad core Mac Pro models were sold side-by-side), Wu posits that Apple will offer a high-end quad core model with a 24 inch screen, as well as a pair of dual core units in 20 and 24 inch configurations.

iPhone Flash techs!

2009-02-02T19:12:00.003-06:00

Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE) and Apple continue to work on bringing Flash technology to the iPhone, but there are still many hurdles to overcome.

The touch-screen iPhone is widely viewed as having the best mobile browsing experience with mobile Safari, but it lacks support for third-party plug-ins like Flash. Instead, Apple requires that video be delivered in a particular file format, and Web video from the likes of YouTube is delivered via a separate application.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs said Flash for desktops and notebooks "performs too slow to be useful" on the iPhone because of its resource needs. The mobile version, known as Flash Lite, is used on millions of handsets, including Nokia (NYSE: NOK)'s S60 platform, but Jobs said it "isn't capable enough to be used with the Web." Apple has been calling on Adobe to create a third version more suitable for its mobile platform.

Adobe has wanted to bring Flash to the iPhone because of its sales success and the browsing patterns of its users. But the company said the iPhone's software development kit and licenses were not robust enough to deliver the technology.

Don't mess with my multi-touch anymore!

2009-01-28T12:40:00.003-06:00

After 9 months of waiting, the patent number 7.479.949, presented by apple in April 2008, was aproved by the US government which means iPhone Muti-touch screen is now property of Apple.

Even if it sounds stupid every single tech innovation must be pattented so market rivals cannot use it... in the past CES, Vegas, Palm presented a similar product that was delightful to the public and experts. The palm pre is now a rival for the BlackBerry and the iPhone.

So all the multitouch stealers BEWARE! Now you can be sued by Apple!

Emoji Icons Rule!

2009-01-24T11:04:00.005-06:00

iWork '09 Trojan! Blame Hackers!

2009-01-23T17:19:00.002-06:00

So for all you hackers and poor people who can't afford iWork '09 and you downloaded it from the internet BEWARE! there is a trojan for mac running around in the internet version of iWork... This file is added to the normal iWork installer and let the trojan maker stalk the sheet out of you! The modified installer (.pkg) contains a hidden little part call iWorkServices.pkg which is automatically installed when you run the iWork '09 cracked set up.

According to symantec this is a low risk trojan... anyway I bought my mac to not have this kind of stuff! so I'll better save for buying iWork in the apple store

Have a great day!

Microsoft cuts 5,000 Jobs? WTF?

2009-01-22T14:43:00.003-06:00

So I was surfing the web when I found this podcast in CNET News...

So Microsoft is planning to cut 5000 jobs due to financial problems, not just in USA, but all over the world... according to the podcast not all Microsoft products will be affected. (Thank God... They Couldn't be worse)

In my opinion they couldn't pick a worst time to do this, c'mon that's 5000 more families without food in their houses, also the productivity of all the countries that are gonna be affected are gonna go down so you're not making the crisis any better Microsoft!

According the guy in the podcast they have to prioritize investments, it doesn't matter in what it matters why? (is it advertising?) which reminds me a get a mac ad. Enjoy!
