First war of 2010: Google and Apple fighting in tablets (Mobile)

Apple has always had the gift of vision. Often, a product launched by Apple has got so well that either led to opening a new market segment or was eventually copied by other producers, or both. Sure, Apple has many flaws but that does not mean we must deny the merits.

2010 begins in force, at least in the rumor, for lovers of gadgets. And I mean the Nexus One, which the phone from Google is to launch it tomorrow. In the present context, a phone is already commonplace. I refer to the imminent launch of two Internet Tablet’s: one comes from those of Apple, another will carry the Google brand.

How far the tablets?

Internet Tablet device is an atypical and not a new concept. So far, however, the tablets that have occurred have failed to break the fair mouth. Were largely awkward bricks, which is heated very much and offered a reduced autonomy. In addition, total cost of a laptop with decent facilities.

Meanwhile, things have changed. New technologies allow the creation of more spectacular tablets, thin and touchscreen. If you add the magic ingredient, Internet connection, resulting a beauty gadget that will ignite the imagination of all those of us who do not conceive a day without the net.

Although there is no official pictures of the two tablets, it is not hard to guess how they look. They probably measure between 7 and 10 inches and will have a touchscreen that will cover most of the device. The difference between the two will be done primarily at software.

Apple Tablet

Like all the time, those from Apple and this time were secretive and did not publish information about the tablet. However, around it teem tens or even hundreds of rumors from various sources, some of which contradict the act.

According exchange rumors about the tablet from Apple is aware of the following information:

* Will be called Slate, iSlate or Magic Slate
* Is working for 4 or 6 years
* Will be announced towards the end of January
* Will cost under $ 1,000, 900 or 800 are the most circulated prices
* If you have ecranu OLED price reaches around $ 1,500
* The size is 10 inches circulated
* Could be based on the same operating system as the iPhone
* Will be officially prezantată Steve Jobs in person

Google Tablet

In other side the watchword is “service”. How did the usual and by now, Google is planning to enter the software industry. The tablet, probably those of Google Chrome will be based system OS and software are actually websites and online services.

Google seems to keep better secrets. If for Apple tablet rumors galore have linked to Google tablet even rumors are not too many. It is not known what size and technical facilities will be. It is known however that the device itself is working for a year and half and that those responsible are from HTC, which lately seem to agree better with Google than with Microsoft.

For those of Google announcing a busy year anyway, at least on the gadget and portable devices in general. Have a working phone and an Internet Tablet operating system for netbooks – Chrome OS. The first is likely to be the phone. It will be announced during the next few days even. Will be followed towards the end, the tablet, that occur late and the first netbooks with Chrome OS.

Google vs Apple

Long time between Google and Apple, there was a tacit friendship. A friend confirmed and guaranteed by the presence of Eric Schmidt on Apple’s board. Lately, the friends, Google and Apple have become rivals. As a result, Eric Schmidt was removed from Apple’s board.

Launch of two tablets will not only increase the rivalry between the two companies. Instead of one two wars, Apple – Microsoft and Google – Microsoft, we now have a single war three: Apple, Google, Microsoft. By the way, do not remove and Microsoft, with the delay-and feature an Internet Tablet that will be based, of course, Windows Mobile?

· Bing default search engine for iPhone

· No Nexus One in the futures

· HTC Legend, a legend that will become reality soon

· Windows Mobile is dead, long live Windows Phone
