Apple iPad – Complete Review, Specs, Pics and Video

Posted by MJK On January - 28 - 2010

Apple has finally unveiled its much awaited Apple iPad. The Apple iPad offers many exciting features and is more or less built on the same lines as Apple iPhone. However, its price is remarkably attractive to general users and we strongly expect it to give a real tough time to the traditional laptops and netbooks in the near future. Below is detailed overview.

Specifications of Apple iPad

-SCREEN: 9.7-inch IPS LCD screen. The LCD provides the backlighting, but most of the technology is IPS, or In-plane switching. This gives it a stronger viewing angle than most screens.

- RESOLUTION: 1024×768 pixels (132 pixels per inch)

- SIZE: 0.5 inches thin.

- DIMENSIONS: 9.5 inches x 7.5 inches x 0.5 inches

- WEIGHT: 1.5 pounds (1.6 pounds for 3G)

- CHIP: 1 GHz Apple A4 chip. They went in-house instead of going to Intel.

- MEMORY: Three models with 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB solid state hard drives.

- INCLUSIONS: Accelerometer, Microphone, 30-pin connector, Compass, full capacitive multi-touch, Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11n Wi-Fi, 3G access on higher-end models

- BATTERY LIFE: 10 hours at full blast. On standby, it will last over a month.

Apple iPad Interface:

The interface should be familiar to you; it looks a lot like the iPhone OS interface. In fact, it’s essentially a custom version of the iPhone 3.2 OS. Primary apps are housed at the bottom and you swipe left and right through your home screens to find apps. Steve Jobs even mentioned that it would be easy for people to pick up on the interface because so many people (7.5 million) have either an iPhone or an iPod touch.

There is a new SDK for developers to build apps specifically for the iPad, but all iPhone apps run in the iPad. iPhone apps can run either in their native resolutions or in a “double pixel mode” for full-screen use. Most of the apps we’ve seen run very well in double pixel mode

Apple iPad Web, Email, and Maps

Just like the iPhone, it utilized Safari Mobile as its browser. It’s bigger, but not much else is different. And just like the iPhone, it does not support Adobe Flash, a plug-in that Apple simply doesn’t like.

In fact, most of the other standard web apps are the same between the iPhone and the iPad. Email, for example, utilizes a similar interface, but it does have more features such as email previews. Google Maps runs on the iPad just as it does on the iPhone.

One app that did get some new features though was the Photo app, which now sports an iPhoto-like interface and some new multi-touch inputs that allow you to easily view and manage multiple pictures.

Apple iPad Connectivity

Apple’s tablet comes in two models, based on their connectivity. Both versions have Wi-Fi connectivity, which is to be expected. However, the higher-end model also comes with 3G access — for $130 more, you can have a 3G-enabled tablet.

If you want the 3G model, you have to use it currently on AT&T: it’s the official launch partner of the iPad. Luckily though, you don’t have to sign a contract to use the 3G connection. Instead, you prepay for however many months of 3G access you desire. It costs $14.99 for 250 MB of data per month, while you’ll need to fork over $29.99 monthly for an unlimited plan. You can cancel any time without any termination fee.

The iPad utilizes microGSM, meaning that it’s not specifically bound to AT&T. Thus, you can expect it to work on international carriers sometime in June or July. That doesn’t mean you can just stick in a T-Mobile or Verizon card though: Verizon and Sprint use the incompatible CDMA 3G format, while the iPad’s 3G modem doesn’t support T-Mobile’s 3G frequency.

Apple iPad Gaming

You really want to look out for the iPad as a gaming device, because EA and others are going to build some amazing games on this platform.

Several games were demonstrated for the iPad, including Need for Speed Shift and N.O.V.A. In Need for Speed, the driver moves the car by turning the tablet. Tapping on the device changes your perspective and zooms. You utilize the touchscreen to accelerate and change gears. Our estimation is that the game looks great — better than an iPhone game — but still doesn’t compare to the PC. In N.O.V.A., a first-person shooter, you can use thee fingers to open a door or slide two fingers to toss a grenade. There are more input possibilities with Apple’s tablet.

The same things that made the iPhone a popular gaming platform were apparent in these demos, however the iPad’s HD capabilities and its more advanced touch screen will make it a stronger gaming platform. And with all iPhone games running on the device, there’s already a big library in its collection.

Apple iPad Pricing

The Price of iPad is the most exciting feature and i am sure that is going to bring the revolution. As you can see from the image above, it comes in two editions: Wi-Fi enabled or Wi-Fi + 3G capable. There are also three sizes: 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB. Thus, the cheapest (Wi-Fi, 16 GB) costs only $499, while the most expensive iPad, the 64 GB model with 3G, costs $829.

Here’s the rundown, in order of price:

- $499: 16 GB, Wi-Fi only
- $599: 32 GB, Wi-Fi only
- $629: 16 GB, Wi-Fi and 3G
- $699: 64 GB, Wi-Fi only
- $729: 32 GB, Wi-Fi and 3G
- $829: 64 GB, Wi-Fi and 3G

In addition, you have to take into account the cost of 3G services. The iPad has 3G through AT&T alone currently, but there is no contract, meaning you can prepay or cancel at any time. For 250 MB of data a month, it costs $14.99 per month, while unlimited data is $29.99. It’s quite a good deal in our estimation, especially since you can cancel your contract at any time and you get access to any AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot for free (e.g. Starbucks).

TDash.org – A Web Based Twitter Dashboard

Posted by Halima Khan On January - 26 - 2010

In computer interfaces dashboard is fast making itself felt as a semi-transparent aide to software programs by effectively providing contextual access to commonly used tools. Dashboard displays management information in an easy to read mode thus making navigation more convenient for the consumer just like an easy to use email service provider.

Dashboard for Google is a clean and simple interface and it has been very recently incorporated and has sparked a controversy on privacy issues. However it does make the whole Google Account services giant easier to maintain and that too at a glance. A dashboard for Twitter users has come to the surface as well. It aims to do pretty much the same thing the Google dashboard does. tDash marks tweets as read or lets them stay unread, manages tweets by sender giving easy access to them in a sidebar. In addition it also offers inline opening out of conversations. tDash while giving more email oriented options of managing tweets also supports Twitter users lists and quite a few of keyboard shortcuts.

Oneforty.com reviews tDash at a 5.0 average concluding “it is a completely browser based Twitter client.” KillerStartups reviews no less than 15 internet startups per working day; they cover tDash in their web application tools as a good recommendation for even the very difficult to please users.There are applications available for free for Twitter application users and there are quite a few of them. Amidst this colorful collection of twitter applications there are some wonderful things for a Twitter user to do; however if you still feel yourself at a loss as a Twitter user then tdash.org is what your patience is being rewarded with. It lives up to the expectations of a dashboard interface. It lets you read your tweets, it lets you retweet, it lets you reply to your tweets and all in the same manner you are used to in your email service provider. The tweets are organized for the convenience of the Twitter user according to sender information. The necessary text is right where your instinct as a Twitter user tells you it should be. It is minimalist; hence no Twitter user gets lost there or gets distracted. A major plus is how the application of tDash runs entirely on the browser, and it is compatible to all browsers.

As a first time user of tDash I felt the clean layout made everything accessible and even familiar. It posed no problems for someone like me who is not comfortable with tweeting even when the whole world considers it a communication rage.

Ovi Maps for Nokia Symbian S60 – Free Download

Posted by MJK On January - 23 - 2010

Ovi Maps have lately been on the headlines all over the tech media. The news of free offering has brought revolution in the navigation industry and TomTom and Garmin are thinking to pack up or find some other way around the Nokia free Ovi Maps solution. With the new Ovi Maps app, the company is hitting back, especially at Google. More importantly, it’s Nokia’s big chance to become the GPS device maker of choice in countries where standalone navigation devices are still hard to find.

“Maps and navigation are as core and natural in a phone as digital cameras,” Tero Ojanperä, Nokia’s EVP of services, said to me about Nokia’s new release. “We think that the mobile phone-based navigation market is about to take off in a big way. GPS is now commonplace and average consumers are perfectly comfortable with navigation systems, but more importantly complete solutions are finally coming to market.”

According to Ovi Maps offers both car navigation and pedestrian navigation. The free navigation service is initially available on 10 different models with detailed maps in over 180 countries. Included are services as traffic data and travel guides from Lonely Planet and Michelin. Integrated into the system there is also a location sharing feature that works directly with Facebook – a quick share tells your Facebook friends exactly where you are.

HD3 Black Pearl Watch – The Pirates Treasure

Posted by MJK On January - 20 - 2010

I wonder what went inside the mind of Fabrice Gonet when he was designing this awesome looking but too heavy on the pocket watch? The watch is awesome looking and i must confess it. It seems the watch of someone whose interested to watch every part of its wrist watch ticking before checking the time.

According to Gadgettastic, the designer was inspired by the era of buccaneers and pirates when he created the black pearl watch. The watch has a few details that are reminiscent of pirate ships. For example, the HD3 integrates a tiny cannon hatch on its left side. The canon features skulls and bones.

However, if you are rich, you still have to fight for the limited 11 watches that have been manufactured. The shocker has been kept at the end. The price of this Pirates looking HD3 Black Pearl Watch is $400,000.

Download Avast antivirus 5

Posted by mansoor.ehsan On January - 19 - 2010

Avast is a major antivirus contender that comes free (not the pro version). I have been lately using AVG and ESET and now switched to Avast to test if it is any good. You know what?? They are all the same :) apart from some kind of difference every Antivirus on planet earth asks to update new definitions on daily basis, usually they’re light (hey am not talking about Norton :P ) and do reasonable job to weed out viruses, torjans and other yada yada.

Avast is a popular Anitvirus given the fact that they have joined hands with Google and it will be available in Google Pack application’s package.Currently Avast is only available for selected languages including German but not English. Avast replaced Norton Security Scan in the language versions of Google Pack.

You can download Avast 5.0 free version which obviously does not offer the features that come with Avast 5.0 Professional, like a new sandboxing option, command line controls or push updates.

Avast 5.0 comes with a total new face and you will find the new interface not that boring! plus improvements to the antivirus scanning engine, performance and memory, disk and cpu usage have also been enhanced

The latest beta of Avast 5 can be downloaded from the Avast website. The final version of Avast Antivirus 5.0 is reported to be released very soon and will then be available for download.

Bharti Names Chris Tobit as CEO Warid Bangladesh

Posted by MJK On January - 18 - 2010

Dhabi Group recently sold its 70% shareholding in Warid Bangladesh to Indian Telecom giant Bharti Airtel in line with its strategy to bring reputable and strong operators to run its telecom ventures in the region. Dhabi Group also sold its shareholding to Essar in African countries of Uganda, Ivory Coast and Congo. It is worth noting here that Singtel is 30% shareholder in Warid Pakistan.

As part of its management control, Bharti Airtel has appointed Chris Tobit, director of sales and operations, enterprise
business of Bharti Airtel, to head the newly acquired Bangladesh unit. Mr Tobit, who has been with Bharti Airtel for over a decade now, and has held several senior positions, such has heading the telco’s operations in Maharashtra & Delhi, will be the new managing director and CEO of Warid Bangladesh.

When contacted, the Bharti spokesperson confirmed that Mr Tobit would be heading its Bangladesh unit.

Bharti, thwarted twice in its effort to acquire South African telecom giant, MTN, announced on Tuesday that it had made its first foreign acquisition by acquiring Warid Telecom Bangladesh, a move that signals a new strategy, whereby it would scale up globally through a string of small and medium-size acquisitions in developing economies.

After its failure to merge with South Africa’s MTN to create the world’s fourth-largest telco, Bharti has been rumoured to be in talks with several operators, such as Kuwait’s Zain and Egypt’s Orascom. Both these players have significant presence in markets across Africa and Asia.

Currently, Bharti’s international operations outside South Asia are minuscule, covering Seychelles and Jersey Islands in Europe. Bharti has also said the newly-created international business group would comprise a team of seasoned and experienced professionals, including some from within the Bharti Group.

Google Maps for Nokia N900

Posted by MJK On January - 16 - 2010

Nokia N900 has problem with Google Maps and hence we decided to share an easy solution to this problem with our readers. After some research on the internet, this method share by YoDude from HowardForums seems to be the best possible solution till date. Here is how it works:

1. Download and install Oleg Romashin’s Geolocation extension. This will let the Maemo browser talk with the N900’s integrated GPS.
2. Download and unzip Gmaps.htm and zoom.htm from YoDude’s compilation to somewhere on the N900.
3. Navigate to to Gmaps.htm using the N900’s file manager, and bookmark it or put a shortcut on the homescreen as you see fit.

According to the comments appearing on the forum page, this method works well for the time being. In case you have any alternative method, feel free to share it with us.

Eset Nod32 Username Passwords and Kespersky/McAfee Keys

Posted by mansoor.ehsan On January - 15 - 2010

It is very hard to find Kespersky or McAfee keys and even if you find one, it turns out to be expired and apart from this you have to undergo lot of laborious task with lots of browsing on vulnerable sites having some sexy/nude images in sidebars making you shy to open such sites in office. Not only this but such sites also bombard you with lots of pop up ads! (and who knows malwares are behind the scenes)

Keeping that hard and toil effort in mind for find keys for Kespersky and McAfee, I usually prefer Eset Nod32. Eset Nod32 also requires username-password (for authentication) to always keep itself updated. Finding the Nod32 username-passwords is not that difficult.

Since it is not that difficult i have found 6 username/password combinations that should work. I will be posting more regularly on this topic since Eset find it out and cancels and then we have to all new again. If your Nod32 Username/password combination expires, do nudge me in comments or try the another combination given below:

(I will be putting such updates in future as well; so do check back if current combainations expire)

Eset Nod32 Username Passwords:

Username: EAV-26221722
