Actually you need not even talk about what the iPad. In Zwitscherszene can handle anyway everyone already using the hashtag. The article should also actually be a mere Factpushing. But come on, a bit: The iPad is basically a normal tablet-PC (or slate, but as Microsoft has recently been renamed the things). The iPad has a 1 GHz processor (Apple A4), a large 9.7-inch capacitive touch screen, a wireless chip, optional 3G, 16-64 GB of flash memory and speakers and a headphone jack. That's basically everything is nothing special, but actually offered far Tablets the same.

But what to do now with such an iPad? As a TV magazine, the thing would not make it bad. Or as a newspaper. Looks quite chic. But no, not yet. Read on such a display is not as durable easy on the eyes. Finally, there is not nothing eInk displays. At the point perhaps is also a link to a mirror-satire given.

In addition, one must not send the design (although I like the not so really dolle) can hide. The device has still not multitasking. It is not possible to have 2 or more applications open at once. That's a shame, especially as the indispensable but for a computer. Especially for a device that will work on it. Should I quit for about one more application to open the next? Hello? WTH?

Let the next story, Flash. So far, Apple has not given the number of vertical heads Flash. It will look like on a keynote speech yesterday is not just nice when you go to the website of New York Times and the entire right side at the edge of Flashblock is missing . I think it's frankly embarrassing that the 2nd largest IT companies in the world still struggles for a fair presentation of websites. But it is desired to cooperate on the part of Adobe .

A camera is not the way there, so lively video chats would probably also history. Because ultimately, the question remains: What will be the iPad, anyway? A kind of big iPod touch? Maxi or iPhone without Schick-knacks? Or is the iPhone an iPad nano ?

Mainly I can not think of the device in the business sector. Enter a date fast times, addresses, manage, and presentations in an elegant manner. But there is still much to be really expensive. $ 499 you have to shell out for the tablet.

I personally would rather wait because on a slate with Windows 7. The latter has now multi-touch (and multi-tasking!). In addition, flash support and everything else. What more could you want? The HP Slate would be such a fine candidate. Sorry if now stand, the Apple fans stupid. But where's the advantage of an iPad over a Slates? In my opinion it is true that the slates there really one step ahead. If it's not so think you can even immortalize your opinion in the Comments

Oh, and here the promised test engadget video for iPad:

Ye can not be separated from the C64 and want'll continue to enjoy the old classic games? This is not a problem, as the super-level blog describes.

Everything you need for this-of course-one, iPhone, App-C64 (Emulator) and some nice games. Further information on this can be found in a linked article .

Actually it is not entirely far-fetched: Apple has now, after games were so popular in the egg sets, before, to capture the electronic book market . Well, actually it was not intentional. Rather it is to be sold in the sales figures surprisingly more books than games. Yikes! Apple now plans to put in their stores now have a focus on eBooks and the book market continues to expand. eBooks can be easily acquired by the device online. Hey presto, the book on the iPod or iPhone . Accordingly, the iPhone is a serious competitor for the current (admittedly small) eBook reader market will be.

However, I have a bit of criticism: The biggest criticism is certainly to the small screen of the iPhone. 3.5 inches in my opinion look too little to be permanently on the screen. e-book readers have decided as a larger display. And more importantly: you have a more friendly display, and that a building that on eInk technology. This display has the advantage of being light as a normal sheet of paper reflect and thus it is much more relaxed, read a book there. Especially when the book "fat" (which is not quite true for eBooks ) Is. With iPhone, however, the eyes get tired after a permanent use.

For the above reasons, I do not think that the egg-devices are permanently prevail on the eBook market. Short time to read a PDF, ok. But no, not 200 pages.

Just read on Basic Thinking: True prejudices: Apple fans often hang from coffee shops . As the title already suggests, it is actually true. Apple users use about 98% of the Wi-Fi in public places. This is from a study of JiWire gone out:

As can be seen in the graph, the public HotSpots are used to 55% of the iPod Touch. 41% of users own an iPhone and only then the PSP comes with marveling low 1.1%. That makes about 98% for Apple!

As you can see, no laptops in the list are available. Therefore, the percentage of Windows users is also very minimal, if any. A laptop is just too clunky, to say just take to a cafe. Then maybe a iPhone. This is so even (you guessed it) is dominant in the market. And since, especially in the mobile market. The proposal is also reflected in the statistics.

In the study, incidentally, are still a lot of other interesting facts have been investigated. Did you know that Germany is in the hot spot availability in 6th place behind Russia and France? I think there needs to change something.

I have just found one of my daily forums Tours quite a horny piece of hardware: the Creative Zii egg. This is an MP3 player, so you could clone my iPod Touch. The case looks almost identical. But inside there is more than one might expect from a clone: ​​a VGA and an HD camera, Senor acceleration, wireless module, 1080p HDMI output, Bluetooth, and X-Fi chip. But this is by far not all.

In addition, the player is running on the Android platform, which could have the consequence that there are many huge coder, throw the software for the device on the market. If, however, considered it the other way sometimes it also means that Google has a hand in and you know how I feel about Google: In relation to our own data is not very good.

But the best to date: The player could come with 32 GB of storage capacity at a price of 140 € on the market. Whether this be true, however, is questionable. Anyway, I'm excited!
