A bite of the Apple
Database, Published on 20/01/2010
» Google released the Nexus One smart phone, an impressive gadget that will push more improvements in the iPhone, but will not immediately take much more than a nibble out of the Apple; the new phone runs on the Google operating system, and starts life with more than 18,000 apps - about 15 percent of the Apple selection but, on the other hand, able to multi-task, something the iPhone apps won't do; the big deal about Nexus One, however, is only about US and Canada, where Google aims to be, very roughly, what Number 2 yuppiephone firm DTAC was when the Norwegians took it over and it unlocked its phones; that is what Google is doing with Nexus, which is made by HTC of Taiwan and costs $529 or 17,500 baht in real money - but which is unlocked and will work with any carrier; this is a revolution in the US wireless industry, where phones are totally locked into carriers, and if you want an iPhone, you sign a two-year, near-usurious contract with AT&T; phone companies will feature the Nexus One - T-Mobile subsidises it for $179 for Americans who agree in writing to pay $79.99 a month for the next two years, or 6,000 plus 2,700 baht in real money; but Google will sell you the phone for use with any carrier from its website (google.com/phone) and this is the first crack in the phone-company control of the business.

Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 10/02/2010
» In some ways I was disappointed by Apple's latest creation, the iPad, which at first glance looked to me like an iPod on steroids, but perhaps because it was just what I was expecting _ at least on the outside. But Apple have ambitious technical goals and more features will become available.

Padding the facts
Database, Published on 10/02/2010
» What a difference an "a" makes, announced Apple as it introduced its new iPad (not iPod) tablet; it is the successor to the Apple Newton MessagePad, which went out of production in 1998 after dozens were sold; like the Newton, the iPad will let users write directly on it and save to memory, and cost less than $1,500, or about 50,000 baht in real 2010 money. The Apple iPad tablet (said a writer at Popular Mechanics magazine) might shake up six industries: it could give revenue to newspapers, rebuild comic books because it has colour, make a whole new platform for magazine publishers, revolutionise mobile gaming, kill netbooks for couch surfing, and boost the market for PC parts starting with flash memory.
