Steve Jobs passes away at the age of 56 (1955 - 2011)

                   I am not a fan of Apple or their founder Steve Jobs but the sadness I feel at this moment I really cant describe. Steve Jobs the co-founder of  apple and arguably one of the most influential people in the world of technology and innovation for the past two decades is no longer with us. He passed away on 5-Oct-2011 after a long battle with Cancer ...............................................................


Sorry, I had to pause for a minute i couldn't control myself.


We all knew that he was battling cancer ................ but nothing could prepare us for this.........


                    Honestly I am not in the right state of mind to continue writing and I would have to end this here. I would like it if all of you could join me in observing a moment of silence in honor of Steve Jobs.


Thanks Steve

Apple now ready to Launch the iPhone5 (what new possibilities would it bring)



What would the iPhone5 look like and what new possibilities
would it bring to mobile computing?



                    Exciting news for Apple lovers and the rest of the mobile industry. A lot of noise has been made about the device and everyone is waiting to see if it would set a new standard in the mobile computing world. I remember when Apple released the iPhone onto the market for the first time and the way it opened possibilities in the mobile computing world that had never been done before. All these opportunities were available in the mobile world but hadn’t been fully exploited up to this point, until Apple. Back then the only Smartphone was from Blackberry and then Apple came to redefine the Smartphone.

                    Fast forward to 2011 and we all can’t wait to see what happens next with this phone. Lets phase the facts Apple changed the meaning of mobile computing. They did not re-write the rules but instead they chose to reinterpret the rules and as a result opening a market that wasn’t been fully utilized.  A huge effect of the entry of Apples iPhone was Google Android operating system. Which we must be honest has been a runaway hit. Most people do not give Android that much credit and talk about the different manufacturers and a whole lot of unnecessary stuff.  If you should look at the different manufacturers of hardware then the iPhone has a larger market share,  but if you look at the operating system then Android is the leader. And it is for two reasons.

 One, the Android operating system gives more choices to its users compared to the iOS with so many restrictions placed on it that are meant to make its usage easier.
Two, the Android OS has more and better features than the iOS .
I didn’t want to talk about price since we do have Android devises that are expensive, but if you want to include that then yes, Android devices give you more for less money.

         I highlighted on the design aspects because it is evident that Apple in order not to fall out of the competition and to give the iOS a better user experience had to borrow some features from the Android OS. I wish I had all the time to go through most of them but here are a few.
  • Newsstand
  • Notification Centre
  • Location based reminders
  • Cloud Sync      ..................and the list goes on and on.

Clearly this big company known for its innovation is facing some stiff challenge from Google’s Android which is causing Apple to have to adapt to the demands of the market.

                This to me, is the more reason why this iPhone 5 launch is really important to me. Is there anything new that Apple could bring to the table now that they are borrowing ideas from other mobile operating systems? Will they adopt these changes in a better way or have they lost their power of innovation. Maybe they will include multiple cameras or 3D cameras to the iPhone, honestly the expectations are so high for Apple but it seems like they might not live up to their reputation this time. We all can’t wait to see what would com out of Apple. So keep your fingers crossed they might just bring out something that you never ever expected.

Tablets Computers can only get better

               I cant just stop talking about Amazon at the moment. It is really nice in my view to see tech companies doing their best to outdo Apple's i Pad
As a results consumers like myself are finding it easy to get tables computers at a good price. Apple can keep selling at $600 no problem with the rest of us we would just switch to androids which would still give us the browsing capability that we would want on a tablet and at the same time the ability to stay connected in a new way. 
              
              I really like this at the end of the day it is a win win for the consumers. The kind of innovation that have come out of these tablet wars have been healthy for consumers.
Apple is now coping some of the features found in android devices. To help their products serve their customers better. 
                       
                 Well we would see what happens in the future. I can accurately predict that it would be full of better battery life cheaper tablets and awesome software. I will leave you with this video i found on  YouTube


                                               Galaxy Tab


                                              Amazon Fire


                                                     i Pad

The future of tablets can only get better!!!
