What does the iPhone 4 teaches us about the iPad 2

HIGH TECH - Future enhancements of the iPad are here ...

Now that the iPhone 4 is official; the direction that will take the iPad has become clearer. Steve Jobs even gave us some clues about what will probably iPad 2.

Cameras

First, it is clear that the next iPad will be a front camera. Steve said that Apple "sold tens of millions of FaceTime devices this year so there will be many people to speak with " But uh, Steve! The iPhone 4 Is not currently the only device with FaceTime? Unless the application will soon be installed on other devices? Hmmm?

This does not confirm a new iPad provided with front camera out for the end of the year, even though with Apple we have to wait. But later in the spring, when the iPad will be one year, there will certainly an iPad with at least one front camera.

Top screen

The new high density screen "Retina" of the iPhone 4 should logically be on the iPad too. Otherwise what would look the iPad next to the beautiful iPhone 4 high resolution in the Apple Store?

A quick calculation on a corner of sheet allows us to determine that an iPad with the same pixel density as the iPhone 4 should have a resolution of 2660 × 1774 pixels. Fantastic. And terribly unlikely. Because it seems too cumbersome for the processor A4, even in a more swift. But the guys in Cupertino may find a happy medium for pussyfoot (You decide which is which).

Memory

What can they still add more? Memory and a faster processor, probably, even if the iPad does not really seem to need to now. But with the advent of multitasking iOS4 in June, the small amount of RAM embedded in the Apple Tablet may be more noticeable.

So when the iPad 2 will out with his camera and its high density screen, you can always buy your iPad 1 on eBay or Amazon.

 
Flash Will it be the Achilles heel of Apple iPad? Roundly criticized by Steve Jobs himself, who refuses to integrate the iPad format, Adobe has released at least one video showing the future HP Tablet Slate ran it perfectly on this technology.


85% of websites and 75% of Internet videos using Flash. With Flash Player, HP Tablet Slate provides access to the entire Web, "says Alan Tam, head of marketing at Adobe Flash, which features examples of video sites, games, video clips, d 'photo albums or digital newspaper exploiting this technology.






Adobe is not the only publisher to parasitize the launch of the iPad, the marketing must begin April 3 in the United States. The U.S. webzine Engadget, for example, aired earlier this week a mysterious video revealing Courier, a concept of dual screen tablet Microsoft, close to the Booklet already announced by the Redmond company, the future Asus Eee Reader or the Nintendo DS XL.According to Engadget, this double slate could adopt the same operating system as the Zune and especially Silverlight competitor to Flash by Microsoft, whose mobile version will be unveiled in late March at the MIX conference organized by the publisher.


Despite the false start of Tablet PCs and other Smart Display, Microsoft and its partners seem in any case, determined to win the segment of touch pads, a market that could also invest in Google or Sony in the coming months ...

The Ipad is a computer developed by Apple. It has a blow awning and has no keyboard, which defines it as a slate book PC type. It is advised to absorb the abandoned alcove amid the MacBook and the iPhone. The iPad was appear and presented at the Keynote of January 27, 2010.


Among the software installed by default are Safari, Mail, Photos, Video, YouTube, iPod, iTunes, AppStore, Maps, Notes, Calendar and Contacts. The application iBooks, powered by Apple, allowing the purchase and read electronic books is available for download from the AppStore soon April 3.


All applications available on the App Store, which represents about 150 000, will work with the iPad, and applications specific to the platform will be developed through the SDK. Apple also adapt its software Pages, Keynote and Numbers (formerly grouped under the iWork for Mac), which are traded separately on the App Store at a price of $ 9.99 each


The desire of Steve Jobs, Adobe Flash technology will not be incorporated into the iPad, as is the case now on the iPhone and iPod touch.


After the presentation of the iPad, the press emphasizes the rendering speed of web pages, the responsiveness of the touchscreen and the sale price of the device, considered reasonable. Among the weaknesses, journalists are the presence of a virtual keyboard and regretted the lack of camera, as well as non-support of multitasking and Flash. The webdesigner complain of resolution 1024 × 768 pixels, considered low.


Walt Mossberg believes that the iPad outwardly resembles a large iPod touch but offers more powerful, closer to the versions for the Macintosh, especially in the case of productivity applications impression shared by David Pogue, for whom name "Wholesale iPod touch does not do justice to the device .


The press revealed that the group STMicroelectronics has introduced the brand "iPad" at OHIM in 2000, while Fujitsu was filed in 2003 with the USPTO. These companies use to sell different products in the field of electronics. In January 2010, Masahiro Yamane, director of public relations division of Fujitsu, said that the mark belongs to the Japanese In March, ownership is transferred to Apple. In 2007, the trademark "iPhone" was already the subject of a dispute between Apple and Cisco, before the two companies reach an agreement to share.


The Free Software Foundation, which campaigns against the systems of digital rights management, regrets that, as in the case of the iPhone, third-party applications for the iPad are required to be licensed by Apple and distributed on its App Store. However, it allows Apple to manage applications on the App Store. Thus, the firm has already done the cleaning of the slate of the App Store by removing, for example, applications of a sexual nature or to ensure the safety of these mobile terminals (for exemption).
