Say Hello to iMac Touch

Posted on by

Apple has of late done many patents in which it stated that it would have multi touch Macbook’s with IPS technology, and its quite obvious that the iMacs do have a fair chance of getting the touch technology which they will be getting soon (as newly published patents suggests).

HP first started the generation of touch enabled PCs but it did not create a explosive sensation in the market. The sales of the touch PCs was very less. It would be great to see if Apple can change the keyboard generation to the touch generation just like how they revolutionized Music, Phones eBooks industry (sort of with iPad). One thing that would be illustrious about the new change would be web browsing which would become much more easier with the multi touch screen.

Also it would be intimidating to see gaming on the huge screen. Apple has messed up with the gaming part since its birth. Maybe this will be the time to get Gaming back in order. If we speak about the OS, it’s probably going to be iOS which would finally make all Apple products a family, at least software wise.

Accelerators would probably be of no use as one won’t tilt his screens while playing games but apart from this and better web browsing I cannot make out what the utility of the touch Mac’s will be. Though we cannot ignore the fact, Apple is known for its innovation and vicissitude nature so it will surely come up with something and like always the new touch Macs will also create a huge stipulation in the market.

Note: The patents might be just for ownership purpose and not for actual creation of the touch Macs. This is just an assumption.

Apple developing the Technology of Future for your iPhone?

To add to the upcoming patent wars (hopefully from Nokia and HTC), we have Apple publishing as many as 16 new patents covering mobile technology. They possibly could be breakthrough in the way people do things, everyday.

This patents which arrived at the US patent office yesterday suggest the evolution of a new kind of feature in your iPhone. Remember old days, Technology was related to WHAT. Today, it’s related to WHERE. Geo-location tagging, Augmented reality and apps with support from them pouring into app stores probably provoked Apple too.

Just imagine, if you just walk into a restaurant and you get the Menu on your iPhone directly? Or, suppose you go to Library and you get the whole database downloaded to your iPhone in a second? Well, thats the plan at Cupertino’s notorious office. They are going deeper into location based services and this could be a feature in the future iPhones.

This simple, you thought rocket science huh? As soon as the device enters the WiFi Hotspot range, the location data (latitude, longitude, direction, etc.) is calculated and is communicated. Once the location of the device is approved, all the data from the content delivery network is downloaded on your Device. Neat.

Commercially, scope is wider but educationally it’s more wider than we can imagine. This technology could even possible reduce the load of books or maybe those bulky laptops? Mr. Nerd, no more carrying hot girls, books home. Instead, repairing iPhones!

Nokia is suing Apple over every damn product which include iPhone, iPods and Macs!

Its a rule of the game.

When you can’t defeat, you sue

Nokia’s playing the game right. Obviously, the whole Nokia range failed to compete with the iPhone (atleast in the US) so there they go.

Nokia has filed a complaint against Apple with U.S International Trade Comission, claiming that iPod creator has infringed their patents in nearly all the devices they have created, cell phones, music players and computers. Nokia stated that Apple has picked up on UI (User Interface) designs, camera technology, power management and antenna (What?) to create “key” features in their products.

Paul Melin, General Manager of Patent licensing at Nokia said, “This action is about protecting the results of such pioneering development….The ITC case filed today is about Apple’s practice of building its business on Nokia’s proprietary innovation”. Check out Nokia’s Press Release for more detailed stuff.

For a common user all this seems like some crappy stuff, but for these brands it could have cost them billions of dollars. Apple is the most unique company i have ever come across and so i am waiting for these guys to answer Nokia. Will keep you guys updated!
