About "Apple ipad launched: Will it be a success?" topic:

Apple launched its much awaited tablet "ipad", which is now being sold for $499. which I think is a bit too high for Indian consumers, The device weighs just 1.5 pounds, compared with a few pounds for the typical laptop. At a mere half-inch thick, the iPad is also thinner than most laptops, including Apple's super-thin Macbook Air. The entry-level iPad is less expensive than most full-fledged laptops and claims to have a longer battery life at 10 hours, compared with three to four hours for a typical full-sized laptop.

Mixed reaction from the community, Apple does real great work with the UI and some features which enhance  the overall user experience .That said, iphone , ipod 's etc .. were very successful in their markets but htis one just seems a bigger...

No, I don't think so that ipad will replace laptops or netbooks, even I was following very keenly the launch of ipad which had created so much buzz.  And $499 is too costly for one, though looks good and sleek, I really thought the ipad will be...

iPad is NOT having   flash   support and it won't support   multi-tasking   (have to close one app/program to open another). And there is no built-in camera and much more   shortcomings. Thanks Read our Review Will Apple iPad kill Amazon Kindle?

I am on the fence about this issue but am going to say no. Maybe not for another few years. And iPad revolutionizing the published book market in a manner similar to what iPod did to music industry is unthinkable because as Sumitra pointed out...
Mahalakshmi Subramanium  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
The chance of Apple having the same impact on the e-book market as they had on the music industry is pretty slim. But still, iPad will enable publishers to display content in new ways, such as incorporating photos, elaborate graphics and video in...

Nishchal Khetarpal  |  Argues in support of  "Ipad is Great"  |  1 year ago
With every bottom-up step from iPod to iPhone and top-down step from Mac Book to Mac Air, Apple has blurred boundaries between a laptop and mobile device, entertainment and productivity, and finally improvisation and innovation. iPad is a great...

I would like share some information regarding Apple Microsoft who are the two giants in the tech world. Apple computers have become much more mainstream in recent years. Now, it seems every time you turn on your TV, you see a Mac versus PC ad. These two companies are the two biggest competitors in the computer industry. There are some advantages and disadvantages of the both Mac and personal computers that use the Microsoft operating system. They are very different, but also very much the same. Operating Systems   Mac OS X           The operating system is the main difference separating Apple and Microsoft computers. Apple in 2009 introduced its operating system called Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Le...

Few more: 1.Apple focuses on consumer Market where as Microsoft focuses on Enterprise market which is huge in size and revenue. 2.Apple shows too much proprietorship compare to Microsoft. 3.Microsoft products are less in price and has huge scope.

Google tablet to give Apple a touch of its own medicine Google is trying to one-up Apple, showing off designs for a new tablet computer based on its Chrome operating system that would be a direct rival to the iPad. Just weeks after launching its own iPhone competitor in the US, the Nexus One, Google might soon extend its competition with Apple further as it seeks to push its search and other products on to as many devices as possible. Google's user interface designer, Glen Murphy, published mock-ups of a Google tablet on the search giant's Chromium.org website, along with a video of how users would interact with the device. Late last year Google announced Chrome OS, an operating system pred...

10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours. YOU say that our government is inefficient. YOU say that our laws are too old. YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage. YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination. YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits. YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it? Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - 'YOURS'. Give him a face - 'YOURS'. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a...
