The iPad was unveiled in January as a unique media consumption device. It is the first of its kind to combine a colorful screen with a long-lasting battery and a multi-touch interface. It isn't just good for reading books, looking at photos, and checking email. It is opening doors for the magazine industry and offering up a new way to present content. In the past, users were limited to making the difficult choice between print and online media. The iPad seamlessly combines the two and...
People are throwing around a lot of strange words when it comes to describing the iPad. Instead of calling the iPad a personal computer, some have relegated it to the status of "appliance." This distinction is an interesting one to explore. What is it about a computer that gives them a special status above that of the mere electrical appliance? Where does the shift occur where we find ourselves working with a device that's far less capable than other similar devices? What makes...
When Steve Jobs announced the iPad on January 27th, there were plenty of rumors centered on the various platforms the iPad has "killed." Farhad Manjoo, a tech writer with Slate.com, posed the question, "Did Steve Jobs just kill flash?" amongst many similar questions and concerns about what is likely to go the way of the dodo. Some people think the iPad will also kill Amazon's Kindle and netbook devices. Jobs isn't the slightest bit bashful about this. The iPad was...
The iPad promises to be a revolutionary device that makes the enjoyment of web pages, ebooks, games, pictures, and video even better. It is, in many ways, a scaled up version of the iPhone and iPod Touch. In fact, many iPad developers have said that developing for the iPad is like developing for the iPhone, except for the increased workspace. With a screen resolution of 1024 by 768, the iPad is 544 by 448 pixels larger than the iPhone. There are other considerations as well. All iPad models, to...
When you are creating smartphone apps with the intent to make money, you have a few options. You can either create an app, sell it for a fixed price on any one of the many app stores or you can create a free app with advertisements that will make you money whenever one of your customers uses the app and views the ads. When looking at these two options, it's pretty difficult to know right off the bat which one will net you the most money. If you go with paid apps, you might lose out on...
We're already some weeks into the release of Google's Nexus One smartphone. With the first week's sales of the Nexus One falling below expectations, many are wondering how the new smartphone compares to the iPhone. It is very apparent that Google has entered the market with a beast of its own that beats the iPhone in several hardware centered arenas. The real question is whether this gain against its rival will last after Apple releases the iPhone 4G. For the time being, we'll...
Rumors are still flying back and forth; nobody knows what is going to happen. Apple has been in continued talks with Verizon Wireless about potentially bringing the carrier onboard to the iPhone platform. If this were to happen, it would break the exclusivity between Apple and AT&T, offering iPhone users the ability to choose their wireless carrier. There are so many reasons why a partnership between Apple and Verizon would be both, a good and bad idea for the two companies. This has left...
Netbooks offer a cost effective and highly portable way for users to surf the web wherever they happen to be. Just as smartphone apps and smartphone application development have grown popular for the iPhone and many other smartphone devices, Intel anticipates the same will happen with NetBook. AppUp is Intel's way of capitalizing on the positively viral app phenomenon, offering a new take on the art of selling software. In many ways, AppUp is no different from the iPhone's App store,...
Google just released its own iPhone competitor this week. While the Nexus One boasts many features already available in the smartphone market, its release is more about elegantly combining those features than being the first phone to have them. To start, the Nexus One's screen resolution could impress the most devoted iPhone fan. At a whopping 800 by 480 pixels, it handles a much clearer picture than the 480 by 320 pixel iPhone screen. The Nexus One's 5 megapixel camera also easily...
