Microsoft does not understand the iPad

Microsoft Tablet PC!

Last week, Microsoft-CEO Steve Ballmer announced new Tablet PCs and explained that he wonders about high iPad , instead of windows tablet sales.

Windows Tablets were not rather successful so far and how it looks they also will not be in the future, due to the fact that Microsoft simply regards tablets as laptops with touchscreens. But actually the iPad offers less features and possibilities than a notebook. Regardless it is more successful, because it shell not be a substitute to a computer.

Apples product is meant for mobile media use, listening to music, regarding pictures, reading news or books and playing mini games. In fact, just for this features.

Actually it must definitely be clear that the iPad is no laptop-substitute, since it has no flash and no USB. Furthermore it is not possible to install software, which is not bought in the app-store. Additionally system configuration cannot be changed in greater depth.

If Steve Ballmer thinks about this, he probably will not wonder anymore why Apple’s iPad is more successful.

Is it reasonable to use an iPad on the beach?

Apples iPad

IPads have an overheating protection. If owners use their iPads in the sun it will naturally heat over the recommended operating temperature range of 35 degrees. Then a warning notice appears and the computer shuts off to cool down.

One would imagine that this sounds quite usual due to the fact that it deals with a very small CPU cooler in a very slim tablet pc. So far, so good.

Despite, three iPad owners try now to sue Apple in a class action, since they have the opinion that the product cannot be used under normal weather conditions. Moreover they claim that they cannot use it in the daytime as an E-Book-Reader owing to the daylight.

Who will be on right in court remains to be seen. But at least there is an opportunity to cool down the iPad in a timely manner. However users have to stick around a kitchen therefore.

Apple comps protective covers

Steve Jobs holds the iPhone in the "right" hand!

At first the connection problems with the iPhone 4 were the users fault. Then it was a software problem and now Apple comps protective covers, which indicates a hardware problem.

Owners of an iPhone 4 have been complaining about connection difficulties for weeks. The problems appear if left-handed users cover a particular point of the smart phone with their fingers. Steve Jobs commentary on this subject is meanwhile deemed to be legendary, since he just gave the advice to hold the phone in the other hand.

After this, Apple acknowledged their fault and announced that they will develop a software update, which patches the problem.

But now Apple virtually acknowledged a hardware fault according to the Internet site Appleinsider. A New Yorker Enterprise contacted Apple with a video showing the connection problems and as a result Apple gave them protective covers as a present. This protective cover prevents the option of touching this particular point. This falsifies Apples statement that it just deals with a software problem here.

But do not worry! If you are left-handed and you still want to call you friends you can use FriendCaller to do so, because we are not just offering the iPhone App.

Moreover we supply the Webphone!
