Whether this also means that Apple will allow private APIs, and libraries is uncertain.


In a statement, Apple notes,


"In particular, we are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need."



This is clearly a step in the right direction, for all we know, this might mean a certain someone [hint hint, Adobe] might be able to allow Flash-to-app development for iOS again.


Apple has also made available a copy of the new App Store guidelines for all to see.

But are any of these tablets actually fit to compete? Absolutely not. Let me explain why.


Let’s talk Android. Android is indeed a wonderful, wonderful mobile operating system for smartphones. Let me emphasise that last phrase: for smartphones. Android isn’t fit whatsoever to be on a tablet and to compete with the iPad. The Market is great and all, but most of the apps are fit for phones. Unless the maker of the tablet decides to make some useful tools such as proper photo editing and a nice video player, Android tablets are doomed for failure.


Secondly, let’s go from Android to Windows 7. The HP Slate is going to fall flat on its face if HP decides to keep going on the 7 edition. Full-blown operating systems on a tablet are very, very bad, and Apple understood this with the iPad and even the iPhone. I can appreciate Microsoft trying to bring Windows 7 to more than one platform, but they should probably stick with Windows Phone 7 (we’ll touch on that later) and build on THAT mobile operating system.


Next, webOS: a fabulous mobile operating system that Palm whipped up for 21st century smartphones. I really love the multitasking features of webOS, and I think webOS tablets would be a great idea if Palm/HP were to modify it and include some productivity apps.


And Windows Phone 7? It’s a great mobile operating system, but in its current form, it’s not fit to be on a tablet. With no multitasking or cut/copy/paste, one shouldn’t even consider a WP7 tablet so early in development. If Microsoft were to create a tablet version of WP7 (Windows Tab 7 *tongue in cheek*), it would be a great tablet OS, especially considering the Metro UI and how it makes browsing a phone easy.


Overall, here’s the perfect tablet that I so dream of and hope someone makes someday. The tablet should run custom software (no Android or anything like that), should include things people do on the go (movies, music, photo editing, games, and so on), and should have a nice interface that is easily accessible without having to go through too much to access an app. The device should run open source software (make developers want to develop for it) and should have an app market that’s moderated strictly, but with no ridiculous restrictions. Team up with companies like Adobe to create simple but functional apps for the tablet, and be sure to work with developers to ensure that the tablet has a nice library of apps in every category.

Admittedly, laser pointers provided by Wholesale Electronics and retail electronics dealers . Some offer a selection of designs for the laser beam to project，to provide variety and perk up the cats, especially when they feel boring.

Anyway, I’d say the funny laser pointers will definitely bring you loving couples unexpected surprise and believe it or not, it deserves a try, but take care!]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 21:52:04 -0500 http://jcxp.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3450 Facebook now tells you where you?re logged in from http://jcxp.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3449


Facebook is about to release a new feature that tells you where you’re logged in from, where that location is, and at what time you (or someone else) were logged in at.


This is part of Facebook’s new privacy features, and the Palo Alto company says that this feature will help increase your account security. The new feature is slowly rolling out, and when it’s here, you can access it under the Account Security tab.

At long last, Microsoft has put the finishing touches to their next implementation of Windows Phone, dubbed “Windows Phone 7” in conjunction with the Windows 7 branding.


As we’ve discussed before, Windows Phone 7 is a new approach to Smartphone computing, and not just simply another rip of iOS, which has done so well for the past 4 years. Unlike iOS, WP7 is different in many ways; first of all, the OS is based on “experiences” and “hubs” or what can also be known as gateways to different features on your Smartphone. Instead of having a single 4×4 grid of icons, you have dynamic “tiles” that present information in real time.


As Microsoft has stated before, the launch is expected to be on September 16th, which is about 2 weeks away as of the time of this writing, and we’re expected to see devices during the 2010 Holiday Season. There certainly a lot of excitement going on, and we can’t wait to give it a run by.

[img]http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fjcxp.org%2Fapple%2Frecap-apple-september-2010-event%2F&source=JCXPt&style=normal[/img]



Today Apple unveiled a revamped line of iPods as well as a new Apple TV. The event highlighted a lot of widely anticipated features and additions the blogosphere have been buzzing about for as long as we can remember.


So what did they announce?


New iPod Shuffle – A lot of people wanted the buttons on the Shuffle, so what did Apple do? They added the buttons back, and made it smaller.


New iPod Nano – Now without a wheel, the new iPod Nano is compleately multi-touch based, with a simplistic UI, similar to that of iOS devices.


New iPod Touch – The new iPod Touch comes with an A4 Processor, front and rear facing cameras, a thinner framework, and iOS 4.1. You can edit HD movies with iMovie as well!


New Apple TV – Even though rumors suggested that the Apple TV would be renamed, Apple did what they always do and keep the existing brand. The new Apple TV is smaller, and storageless with Streaming Video, Music and Photo capabilities including the ability to stream TV Shows and Movies from the iTunes Store.


iTunes 10 – With a enhanced feature set including a hybrid list view, social integration with their very own Ping, and support for iOS 4.1, it brings a whole new way of looking at Movies, TV Shows, and other content.


AirPlay – Formally known as AirTunes, AirPlay allows you to stream content to your Apple TV from your iOS Based device.


So what didn’t make the cut? Apple didn’t announce a new iPod Classic, which seems to suggest that they have moved onto a more portable venture with the Nano, Shuffle and Touch models.


So there you have it folks, stay tuned for the press video!

Actual would be around 10mps

Either Way its a very good Upgrade to their Mobile Internet... T-Mobile in many situations has proven that its speed is faster to those of the other Main Carriers though there service coverage is last on that list.

So far phones capable of 3G are able to obtain higher speeds but T-Mobile has said that its first phone to take advantage of its new network will be released by the end of this year... The Tmobile G2.... The successor to the First Android Smartphone the G1.
As Well as they will expand HSPA+ more and should have around 100million people covered by the end of the year.]]> Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:50:27 -0500 http://jcxp.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3445 Cairo should have a built-in media display/player http://jcxp.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3444

Well, look what we got here. Long Zheng over at istartedsomething snapped this (although blurry) photo from a WP7 promo booth over at TechEd Australia 2010. Looks like we got a bit of MyPhone action going on here, huh?


It looks like you’ll be able to sort your contacts, events, photos, and so on (just like MyPhone for Windows Mobile 6.5), and presented in the familiar-to-most Metro UI.


The program looks really interesting, so we’ll have to wait and see what Microsoft delivers when WP7 is finally released!
