iPod Nano to get a camera : No changes to current design

Nothing in the world spreads more faster than radiation and Apple rumors. Here’s something hot off the rumor mill. Sources suggest that Apple iPod Nano is going to get a camera. If you remember Apple had added a video recording camera to the fifth generation iPod Nano. It dropped it all in the sixth generation iPod.

Now what we are hearing is that the next (seventh) generation iPod Nano is going to retain its shape and design but it will get a camera again along with the touchscreen iOS. The only other change visible would be to the side buckle for holding the iPod. That’s great. I can’t imagine having such a tiny looking device and clicking photos. Awesome. Via 9to5mac.

Acer to reincarnate and likely to go the Apple way

Gianfranco Lanci

Gianfranco Lanci ( The CEO of Acer ) resigned from his post yesterday. The Board Of Acer wants it to me more like Apple than to HP. A simple reason for this was that Lanci followed a policy of increasing the volumes of Laptops so that he can provide cheaper Laptops than Dell and HP. Another reason for this could be the huge difference between Apple’s profit margin of 21.5% and Acer’s of 2.3% for the last fiscal year.

JT Wang(On the board of director) has replaced Lanci as the new CEO. Wang wants to concentrate on Tablets and Smartphones around enterprise sales. Wang clearly stated the start of new era for Acer by saying”Recently the iPad [tablet computer] and other new form factors have had a very big impact on the PC market. We have to change our business strategy.”

Let’s see whats the change in the strategy and how it works out. Apple is serving the premium market which means Acer could also be leading the same path. [Source]

Firstly, Analysts reported that 100% of tablet sales in 2010 consisted of iPads. Yeah, its quite an advantage being the first in the line to introduce tablets to the world.

Number two is that the world had spent about $9.6 Billion on tablets that same year with $9.566 Billion going to Apple for iPad. Insanely Great. [Source]

But Past is gone and Future awaits so the Real war will be in 2011 it is said sale of tablets may go up to $29.4 Billion this year. It is also being said Apple is going to grab 70% of the market this year. 2011 is surely going to be the War of the Tablets.
