Apple's Biggest Announcement : Apple Launches the iPad

Here's the latest news from Steve Jobs' update a couple of minutes ago.

Steve Jobs started the update by talking about the current sales and numbers. He talked about the number of Apple stores, number of iPod sold, etc. He said that Apple's focus are on the three product lines for mobile (laptop, iPods, iPhones).

He then asks, is there a room between smartphone and laptop? Something that handles email, Photos, Videos, Music, Games, eBooks?

Jobs pulled out the iPad. About the size of an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. Very thin.

iPad has the following specifications:

• 9.7 inch display
• Touch screen
• 1.5 pounds, 0.5 inches thick
• 1 ghz apple A4 chip, 16 to 64 GB flash storage
• WiFi 802.11n
• Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR
• Speaker, Microphone, 30-pin connector
• Accelerometer, Compass
• 10 Hours of active battery life, 1 month of battery life on stand by
• Earth-friendly!

Jobs said the iPad will also be better for reading books, playing games and watching video than either a laptop or a smart phone. The iPad comes with software including a calendar, maps, a video player and iPod software for playing music. All seem to have been slightly redesigned to take advantage of the iPad's bigger screen.

iPad Price:

• 16 GB - $499
• 16 GB with 3G - $629
• 32 GB - $599
• 32 GB with 3G - $729
• 64 GB - $699
• 64 GB with 3G - $829

So what do you think? The battle between Amazon's Kindle and Apple's iPad begins...

Apple's Biggest Announcement : Apple Tablet PC

There's going to be a big announcement this week. Apple will be launching their new product the Apple Tablet iPad. Steve Jobs will be making his announcement 2:00AM Thursday Manila time.

Here are some expectations about the Apple Tablet iPad.

• A 10- to 11-inch tablet
• somewhat resembling the iPhone hardware
• running a substantially expanded version of the iPhone OS
• probably called iSlate or iPad
  
• with a new, non-QWERTY interface
• possibly available in two versions, LCD and OLED
• with Wi-Fi and 3G data connections. 

So what do you think? This is a good device right? I think they will be competing against Amazon's Kindle. But anyway, there's a lot more Apple news coming out by that time so be ready.

But there's something more, do you know Seth Godin? I followed his blog and he also made a big leap with the current technology. Before Steve Jobs will announce Apple's new product iSlate, Seth Godin already licensed Vook the rights to Unleashing the Ideavirus so they can convert it into a multimedia app. It should be finished before the tablet ships, so Seth's team intends to be ready when they are.

Call that bold and massive action.

I suggest you to do the same... Take a bold and massive action today!

Ayuz by Rico Blanco

Here's one of my favorite Rico Blanco Song entitled Ayuz from the album Your Universe.




Ayuz Lyrics
Wala na tayong mga problema
Tanggal lahat ng ating tinik sa dibdib
Pati arthritis mo'y mawawala
Ayos na
Ayos na

At sa mali mo'y may liquid paper
Sa lovelife mong panis, Ctrl-alt-delete
Lahat ng biyenan biglang gaganda
Pasipul sipol na lang

Basta't kasama kita
Ayus na ayus na ayus na
Basta't kasama kita
Ayus na ayus na ayus na
Lahat ng hasel ay mawawala
Basta't kasama kita
Ayus na ayus na ayus na

Walang perwisyo, walang bitin
Wala kang tropang dehins boto sa akin
Pati impyerno ay e-airconan
May sorbetes pang ipinamamahagya

The Road not Taken

Here's my favorite poem from Robert Frost. I can recall this poem from my 3rd year Literature class in high school. Hope you'll like it.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
