Apple’s Tablet PC : Taiwan Manufacturers lucky to tap Supplies for the Tablet

Posted on September 15, 2009 by Monik

A Taiwanese News Website Recently Posted information which left us no Reason to believe that Apple’s Tablet PC won’t be out by next February.

According to the Sources, it is confirmed that Taiwanese Manufacturers have Tapped the Supply for Computer Parts for the Most Rumored, Apple’s Tablet.

Simplo Technology Co., Ltd., DynaPack International Technology Corp have been assigned the job of supplying 300,000 long lasting Battery Packs (Woo! That’s a real big number!) for their Tablet Pc.

Next, Wanshih Electronic Co., Ltd. which is a supplier of PC mini coaxial cables situated in Taiwan has grabbed the offer for Apple’s mini coaxial cables order (about 70%).

Apart from that, Taiwan’s Mag. Layers Scientific-Technics Co., Ltd. and Wintek Corp will supply Power Chokes and Touch Panels (Same which were supplied for iPhone’s) Respectively to Apple.

So from all this Features we can make up for the Tablet PC are -

A 9.6 Inch Screen
Multi Touch User Interface
Built-in HSPDA (high speed download packet access) module
A Long Lasting battery pack

Prices can be around $1000 Range. But, under Mass Production the prices may go a further drop as of what we assume now. Apart from that, it is also being stated that this Tablet will be coming in Hands of AT&T and not Verizon. Ha.

Now, after this if someone tells you that the Apple Tablet Rumor is fake, will you believe it?

It seems like the Rumor might be true, but we can’t say with 100% confidence, but whatever it may be i am excited. Anyways the features which might be there are -

Applications meant for iPhone will work on it + some new apps for the tablet.
It will be used for Internet Surfing, Digital Media and serve uses just like what iPhone did.
It may include a Cellular 3g modem.
Pricing might be between $500-$600
If Apple is able to sell 2 Million units for $600 each, it will easily generate $1.2 Billion which is a huge amount.

Thanks CNN.

Apple’s New Tablet to out in September! (Rumour)

Posted on July 27, 2009 by Monik

The Blogosphere is hot with Rumors Buzzing in from all corners. All top blogs like TechCrunch, Mashable and Engadget are blogging about this. And now it’s Financial Time’s Which has added on to the rumors!

According to Financial Times Apple seems to be in a deal with Four largest record labels which aim to increase Digital Album sales and Apple aim’s to increase iTunes sales. And to achieve this Apple is supposed to be launching a new Tablet. The Tablet is supposed to more like a iPod touch than a iPhone.

Phone features may-be available. The screen size would be around 10 inch with touch features and it is supposed to be shipping around Christmas Festival. It is supposed to be more like a iPod touch with Wireless features same as iPod touch, downloading via iTunes.

Companies like EMI, Sony Music, Warner Music have signed up with Apple to bang up the Digital Music Market. Apple seems to have stepping in a market where most of the Companies have failed including Microsoft and this project has been named “CockTail”. Sounds funny, but yes that may be the name!

Apple has revolutionized the way we share and listen to music with it’s products, iPod and iTunes. This may be the next hit. Many Experts say that Apple’s Tablet may be the perfect killer for Amazon’s Kindle.

What makes me wonder if that these rumors aren’t true then will it actually inspire Apple to make something like this? Seems so!

Thanks Mashable and Financial Times.

Pay $2000 for a MacBook and get a Brick instead!

Posted on April 29, 2009 by Monik

Ryan, a fellow customer Paid over $2000 for a MacBook through Best Buy and then Recieved a Brick inside the Apple MacBook Box.

Ryan bought a MacBook Pro from Best Buy in Texas. The Retailer has said that it’s not his but Apple’s Mistake. The buyer has not sorted out the matter with either Apple or Best Buy.

He Say’s -

When I got home I opened the box and found a paving stone packed with bubble wrap, instead of the Macbook Pro.

I returned to the store and the manager, “Keith”, was not too willing to help me out. He kept falling back on the line “Apple seals the boxes, not us. Take it up with Apple.”

I have sent an email to Best Buy corporate and have contacted my credit card company. Unfortunately, they can’t do anything until the charge posts.

So right now, I paid $2164.89 for a very nice red brick.

Computer in a Ball : Is that going to be the future?

Posted on April 13, 2009 by Monik

Recently While surfing through the Blogoshphere I found an Amazing Computer Concept which stated itslef to be the future of Computing. It is a Ball like structure which has a Virtual KeyBoard and a virtual screen. It is just a concept and that may turn out to be the future of computing.

This Ball like Computer is Called E-Ball and was designed by Apostol Tnokovski. He was trying to make the design for world’s smallest PC and ended here. Instead of having an Actualy KeyBoard and Screen, it would use a projection for keyboard and the Screen. More pictures after the break.
