Apple iPad tablet

APTOPIX Apple

Today at san Francisco Apple will release to the market their newly unveiled prized possession: tablet-style iPad. Their newest pride will start selling $499.

The seems like a larger version of an iPhone, about six times an iPhone‘s size. Apple will be selling a few iPad models equipped and hooked up with data plans from no other than AT&T. And with no bondage or contract required.

Apple Inc. challenge now is to convince the market and its consumers, most of their target market already have Internet-connected phones, computers and TVs, that they will find worth and will be willing to pay the amount for a device such as an iPad, when there are a lot of handy, lightweight notebooks and “netbooks” that costs lesser.

There rebuttal is that iPad is better for reading books, playing games, and enjoying movies, as mentioned by CEO Steve Jobs. The iPad offers better visual display than either a laptop or a smart phone.

The initial price is expected to drop. The first iPhone sold by Apple was for $599 but it went all the way down to $399 in just a few months, which were of course not good to hear for early buyers.

The Samsung Go N310 is a 10.1 inch x 7.3 inch lap top that is marketed for people who are always on the move.

It features a smooth rectangular isolation keypad design that does make people do a double take when they first see it. The design is of course ergonomic enough to provide a comfortable working and communicating experience. It is also packed with the latest technology with communication for maximum mobility and productivity.

This process eliminates about 99.9 % of bacteria with only 24 hours, which makes it very ideal for people on the go who use their lap tops almost everywhere. At $ 439, this note book is pretty affordable. If the specs are not enough reason for you, the looks for sure will give you a run for your money.

PSP Go

As one of the leading innovators of technology, Sony finally decided to take their portable gaming console to a new level. Said to be launched in October this year, the latest evolution of the Sony PSP will be called as the PSP Go. It will sport a 3.8 inch display (but the resolution of it is still undisclosed). Even though it looks heavy, it is said to weigh about 43 % lighter than the PSP 3000. It will allow a 16 gb flash storage with built in Bluetooth that supports handset tethering and BT headsets which can enable one to even use skype to chat with friends even on the go. There is no UMD drive but a memory stick slot is provided. It will also have a full play station network support for movies, tv show rentals and other purchases (but all this still depend on the down load speeds). Just like the PSP 3000, it can also be integrated with the play station3. But the most obvious change this PSP went through is that now, it has an easy – slide panel unlike other PSP’s before. Available in two colors: piano black and pearl white, it will also feature a game sleep function that will allow the user to activate the XrossMediaBar while game playing is temporarily suspended. Deemed as the smallest yet mightiest PSP system yet, it will retail around $ 250. Some say it’s ugly, while others claim it’s a must have. But for sure when the fall of 2009 arrives, a lot of people will line up just to get a chance to be one of the first few to own a product like this. Definitely something to look forward to in the coming months, let’s just wait and see how great of a contender this PSP Go will be compared to other PSP products and of course to other game console brands.

The wireless guitar hero controller has a range of up to 30 feet. With that, moving around with no hassle and worry of distraction while playing your tunes can be easily made. You won’t be glued to your console as you are free to go where the music moves you. Logitech designed it in a way which guitar hero gamers can unleash the inner rock stars resting within them. The fret buttons and strum bar are virtually silent so they won’t be distracting you while you play the music. The technology used here is the same as that of Logitech’s keyboard range. Also, there is a touch sensitive slider on the neck of the guitar controller.

It is licensed for all Guitar Hero titles including the World Tour version so it is promised to be instant plug-and-play. Simply follow the Xbox 360 Guide and the controller connects easily to the console.

Logitech’s wireless Guitar controller is expected to be released both in Europe and US in August this year at $199.99. The complete package includes a guitar controller strap, a quick start guide and 2 AA batteries.
