Tablet PC – Subvert the traditional PC
Apple CEO Steve Jobs (SteveJobs) devaluation in early 2007 what was called the Tablet PC, weighing only 1.5 pounds is the thickness thin, and always a small device is turned on. It can surf, read, send e-mail, watching movies and playing games. In addition to this function, it is another place is a surprise to run the company’s own applications (iWorkapps.) For word processing and spreadsheet functions. Jobs said, iPad in these two areas is better than the expensive laptops and desktops. This is also referred to Apple’s design guru Jonathan Ive, and it is not only browse the media is a good helper, but also for the future of computing hope.
Although iPad for reading and other functions designed, but completely abandoned files, folders, computer keyboard and mouse type of thing, it represents the people reshaping the future how to use computers in China. iPad provides a new type, but very powerful, and often change locations, a high concentration of attention and hyperlinks on a new type of coordination between the intuitive experience. It has the power to instantly turn on, lighting fast reactions under the lightning-fastmultitouch response, and has purchased from the simplified organization to ensure the safety upgrades and single source of native applications features . Apple has even developed a chip called the A4’s customers (customchip), it can drive the battery to use iPad and help extend the period to 10 hours.
iPad Tablet PC located in the high-end notebook prices. A 16-gigabyte, only for wireless broadband (Wi-Fi-only) The iPad is 500 dollars. But it is not notebook, but a hope that Apple will contribute to the development Jobs traditional end of the first personal computer models show. If he recognizes this way, people may soon use laptops as the basis for coordinating the iPad workstation.
The way people use computers today in fact obsolete. Still in use today, the graphical user interface (graphicaluser interface, GUI) is 60 years of last century, made the early IBM personal computer had already appeared before the method. Most software is still in use today, the basis of the idea of existence before the advent of the Internet era, when computer storage is very precious, and the speed of the software to run very slow. Appears in the iPad, Apple is to become the center of post-PC era. But to succeed, it needs to defeat the other competitors still want to control the future.
With the adoption of advanced multi-touch way to build computer use habits, people can fiddle with the keys as the pianist as a finger to scroll (rolling), tap and percussion-screen to perform more complex functions. iTunesApp Store supply network so that people have to get a strong software security cheap and convenient way. Aesthetic standards to ensure strict implementation of the iPad the easy operation and simple appearance. Credit card for people to connect to Apple, so it built a micro-payment system,
Out of any document you want to seriously working towards the user, always drag an external keyboard is indeed a painful matter. iPad operating system and Mac machines, or even loaded with Microsoft’s system is completely different, all applications are supported by Apple’s headquarters, so that developers and publishers with the application through Apple’s Software Center (AppStore) for the transaction user.
This kind of Apple-centric imagination will certainly usher in a fight in the future, in particular, have the courage to become another new iPad computing model, operating system, Google Chrome Colombia (ChromeOS) are the first challenger.
Google Chrome Systems Brother is in some ways even more radical than the iPad. As a pure Internet company, Google itself is a pure Internet Columbia. When Apple moved to want to calculate well-organized, well everything is built around the interface of the environment, the Columbia Valley is believed to be close to the operating system is not visible form. Thus, it will leave the file, the client application and store all the random content. Chrome system, the user is connected directly to the cloud environment (thecloud), let users have the World Wide Web (Web) to provide fast high quality from the native application to print drivers and other features of the faith. Columbia Valley, hopes, launched this fall, driven by notebook Chrome activities of the system can speed up that day, the designers have in the design of next-generation devices Chrome system, including touch-screen Tablet PC .
Is heading for extinction desktop software, Google Vice President SundarPichai brother had this type of application to set up iTune openly questioned the ne
ed for the center. He firmly believed that the future users need is the World Wide Web applications, though he acknowledged that the present network is not equipped to handle a strong function of the game. But he believes that as new technologies such NativeClient and HTML5 will be able to solve such problems. However, some concerns about the company’s ability, that Chrome is an open system, and the Columbia Valley to encourage the use of the online application does not like Apple as to any devices and browsers apply.
