iPad: Los chinos están a la que salta
Estos chinos están a la que salta.
Eso sí, va a tener un puñado de publicidad grátis, porque la noticia ha llegado ya hasta (de momento) al gadgetlab de Wired: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/02/chinese-ipad-maker-threatens-to-sue-apple-for-plagiarism/
Para mi que estaban con las placas listas para meter en la caja, esperando a ver que forma tenía el iPad, una vez visto lo han fabricado en 3 días, han metido los componentes y tienen 10000 unidades en el mercado ;-) ¡son la bomba!
Apple launches iPad, multitasking is forgotten once again :-(
Apple launched a new awesome device today, the long expected tablet: the iPad.
A somehow oversized iPhone, between a laptop and a phone, running iPhone OS.
It looks gorgeus, and it’s priced between $499 and $829 depending on storage (from 16GB to 64GB) and on having 3G on top of its wifi.
But… -yes, there’s a but-…. ¡no multitasking!
These guys at California keep denying some of their customers are powerusers demanding control over their devices and different ways of using them - I mean other than The Way they think you have to use it.
It’s a pity, I was almost getting my credit card (yes, yes, I know, 60 days delivery time for the only-wifi units, and 90 days for the 3G+wifi units), but I’ll have to rethinking now…. I think I’ll definitely wait until they release iPhone OS 4.0, crossing my fingers hoping they’ll include multitasking
Apple! Listen us! We want multitasking!!!!
Tumblr camera stats
We decided to organize some camera statistics from photos uploaded to Tumblr, and it revealed some interesting data:
One of the most surprising results is the dominance of photos taken with Apple’s Photo Booth application, which snaps photos from the built-in webcams in most Macs.
Entry-level SLRs are extremely popular among Tumblr photographers, especially Canon’s Digital Rebel series. The Digital Rebel XTi/400D is our most popular standalone camera. It’s a well-deserved position: the XTi is a great camera for a great price that introduced many people — myself included — to the world of high-quality photography.
Most Canon SLRs also record the Canon lens model used to take each photo:
The first and second are the new and old (respectively) “kit” lenses bundled with most Canon SLRs. The third-place lens, the 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, is frequently sold as part of a premium bundle for a few hundred dollars more than the standard kit.
The inexpensive 50mm primes are cumulatively the most popular non-kit lenses. This is also well-deserved: these lenses provide excellent optical quality for very little money.
Many people take photos with their mobile phones. Here’s how the top modern smartphone types break down:
Beyond the expected dominance of iPhone OS and BlackBerry devices, Palm’s webOS (Pre, Pixi) isn’t very popular among Tumblr users, but Android devices are gaining popularity.
But the real surprise was Apple’s role, including Photo Booth, in overall camera brands:
The popularity of Macs and iPhones is powerful enough to make Apple almost as popular as Nikon for Tumblr photography.
