Courier: Microsoft's warrior which can make iPAD sweat .

www.miteshk.blogspot.com

let me begin with saying that i am a staunch Apple Inc supporter and not impressed by behemoths like Microsoft , so when iPAD came i had my own reasons to cheer up, but may be for the first time (at least for me) i see Microsoft has got something on their hand which has left me HIGH and wanting , and trust me only Microsoft product i have ever like is Zune music player (software). BUT BUT BUT
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3e5bgj7Ofs

THIS is what Courier looks like , just like your other notebook but totally digital , split screen baby with stylus  interface , if you have had a look at the video you will fairly understand why i Love it and why i think that it has the potential to change the way we work ,

Using multi-touch, objects (like addresses) can be moved back and forth between the two screens, while a stylus pen lets you jot down notes and keep various journals.

There’s a “home” button, much like iPhone, that lets you get back to the device’s applications, or set a journal as the device’s homepage.

 there’s also a camera on the back cover of the device.

Essentially, what we’re looking at is an Internet connected, touch screen device that takes the form of a traditional notebook. And looking at the presentation, that interface makes a lot of sense, as objects from one side of the device are moved easily to the other, almost like the note-taking type applications we’ve grown familiar with on the Web, but on a tablet-like computer.

THOUGH both APPLE and MICROSOFT are known to mess up wid first gen product , I still see a new war between these two legends quiet eminent on the horizon , maybe its already time for APPLE to spruce iPAD .

as from my side - MAY THE BEST DEVICE WIN..

P.S.- special thanks to Sanchita sogani for enlightening me to courier.

APPLE does it again ....make way for iPAD

www.miteshk.blogspot.com


ONE really needs to give this techno junkie "Mr. Setephen "steve" Jobs" a hell lota credit , he has made it a habit to come up wid products which top the charts of our aspirational wanna have product list .... mac's, airbook, iphone,ipod. and now please make way for his latest iPAD widout doubt this neww baby from apples stable is all set to rock the world and like it's tech bros it will rock it hard very hard. 

"So far it really looks like an oversized iPod Touch, which is great"


"iPad" is for consumers who want to take their movies, TV shows, music, games and reading with them, be it around the house or on the go.
 The iPad weighs about 1.5 pounds, is 0.5 inch thin, has a 9.7-inch display and should have a battery life of 10 hours, Jobs said. It uses what he called Apple's own 1GHz A4 chip The tablet has the company's online iTunes Store built into it, as well as YouTube in high-definition.

The tablet uses multi-touch finger gestures and swipes like the iPhone, but the iPad's "larger screen requires less swiping to navigate,"

While many of the tablet's functions — Web surfing, movie watching, music listening — can be handled on netbooks, lighter and relatively inexpensive laptops, Apple isn't viewing its tablet as a laptop without a keyboard. "Apple sees this as a personal media experience that they can create."

The tablet's "most revolutionary impact is on the way people consume media in the home," he said. "You take it from room to room, you dock it next to your bed, it becomes your alarm clock. You dock in the living room, it’s a photo frame and a video server for your TV; you dock it in the kitchen, and it displays your recipes for you."

wid a price band of about 700$ it can be a bit steep for us here in India but sure for people in states and Europe who are lukng fr a product such as kindle it can open new vistas , though coming back to us here in India 700$ might not be the very affordable considering the value for money proposition we expect  it might not be for everyone, maybe it wud sell only in metros BUT then when did Apple signified masses ---- it definitely has never been for everyone, so for mere mortals keep dreaming on , keep on iDREAMING.
