Scopad SP0712: the tablet in education, Thailand made ​​the leap to $ 32.8 million

Scopad SP0712 – And so the subject appears on everyone’s lips: should we adopt a tactile medium for education? To what extent and for what purposes? We mentioned this morning, our new President has been working in this direction in his department of Correze in choosing the first version of iPad for 2500 students. But Apple’s tablet is not the only possible solution and considered. And it is in this sense that Thailand has decided to act by unveiling the largest body of Touch Panel education ever undertaken.

The tablet is called the chosen Scopad SP0712 by Shenzhen Scope. It is a slate featuring a TFT capacitive multitouch LCD 7 inch, 1024 x 600 resolution. It is powered by a Rockchip processor single core 1.2 GHz clocké – ARM Cortex-A8 – offers 1 GB of RAM and runs on Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Connectivity is complete with WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth. Connectivity is not left since a USB Host port is in the game. 8 GB of internal storage is allocated and it is possible to extend it via the microSD port of the device. We are thus faced with a tablet of good quality Chinese that will meet all the needs of elementary school use.

iPad 4G + WiFi renamed

iPad 4G + WiFi – What at first appeared to be a slight name change affecting only some Apple Online Stores in the world, to reach the American version has finished becoming an official change that affects all models of the new addition to the WiFi iPad also include data connectivity.

iPad 4G + WiFi the name that appears now in the online store is the iPad WiFi + Cellular, which translated could be interpreted as ” iPad + WiFi mobile connectivity.” In stores now speaking, as the Spanish or Mexican still see the old name but it was not surprising that this would change from one moment to another.

Especially because this change is due to the problems that the shift to 4G, 3G instead of using the first two iterations of the iPad, has resulted in some regions such as Australia and Europe for misleading advertising. Remember that speed is reached only 4G network completely under American and except in some countries like Spain where he can connect to DCHSPA (Dual Channel HSPA) that it is pretty close to 4G, in other countries, although the device itself is capable to connect the data goes through a standard 3G connection. iPad 4G + WiFi

iPad 2: Self-improvement is confirmed!

iPad 2 – You talked about there not long ago: Samsung, the 45 nm, it’s over, all production machines have been calibrated to etch 32-nm processors with the arrival of the new iPad. Result, instead of running two chains of production cost, it is more profitable for Apple not to rent a home and its subcontractor somewhat modified his iPad 2 than continue with the same processors A5. It had been observed previously that the new A5 were engraved, as A5X, in 32 nm, but the question remained whether this had any interest.

Performance: no. On battery, however, is another story. 32nm processors are a little less and consumers as the size of the battery of iPad 2 does not change, there is a significant gain on this machine that was already the most successful in this field. Thus, as the table shows, the “new iPad 2″, which is now called “iPad 2.4″ is about 1:45 of battery than the iPad 2 of a year ago, which is when even super comfortable. Better yet, only the tablet reaches beyond the autonomy of a Transformer Pad 300 with dock, which is quite a feat.

new iPhone with 4-inch

new iPhone – Increasingly, the rumors concerning the possibility that Apple could take a bigger screen size than the usual 3.5 inches used since the first generation of the iPhone and many also wonder what will be the approach taken by designers to change the current size . A rumor of the last hours suggests the possibility of enlarging the size of the display, bringing to 4 inches, increasing only the height of the display and changing, therefore, the aspect ratio of the latter.

All models of the iPhone and iPod Touch up to date products, in fact, have always been equipped with a 3.5 inch screen with a 3:2 ratio, allowing developers to build their own applications to a single screen size. With the arrival of the Retina display in 2010 (iPhone 4), the display resolution has increased significantly, but the size of the display in his appearance remained intact, while forcing developers to adapt their applications to the new high resolution.

iPad Mini: the tablet again about her

iPad Mini – What if you could make a title for a news item, we will spare you a few minutes reading virtual, but is, we must deal with such rumors: after all, all the rumors and are born free and equal rights. The iPad Mini, it is a ghost who comes nearly every two or three months. Sometimes it’s Digitimes who recovered the information from a vendor screen, other times they are sources inside Apple who talk too much. But eventually, we still have nothing and Apple remains on the market it controls, that of the shelf 10 inches high end.

It was in an episode of Talk Show John Gruber of Daring Fireball has dropped the word: no, a 7.85-inch iPad is not expected at Apple, but such a model exists in the labs of the parent, undergoing tests every day. Is it relevant? Is it useful? A Does the market place? How to sell, $ 299? All these issues have still not been answered and that is why Apple has never talked about a smaller version of its touchscreen icon.

Three million of new iPad is sold

In three days there are more than three million copies of the new iPad sold as Apple is known. With about one million pieces per day, according to Apple is the most successful launch of a new version of the tablet.

The new iPad went on sale on March 16 in including the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Britain and Japan.

These are however more countries than at the launch of the iPad 1 and 2. From 23 March, the new iPad in the Netherlands for sale.

The new iPad was presented on 7 March by Apple, not under the name iPad 3, but as the new iPad.

Especially the much sharper Retina Screen makes this different than previous versions. The new tablet has a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels. That’s four times as high as in the iPad 2. The iPad 2 will remain on sale, it is $ 100 cheaper.

The new iPad takes several hours to charge

It was one of the questions that arose last week after Apple confirmed during the keynote presentation of the new iPad. If this was to maintain, apparently, the same duration in hours of battery life than its predecessors, then these should be considerately larger to face the screen with four times more pixels and the new A5X with quad-core GPU.

And it is something that has been confirmed when iFixit has laid hands on the first iPad and the first reviews of the U.S. press, which goes on sale tomorrow, the battery takes considerably more, it comes to hours, to load than its predecessor, the iPad 2. No longer a logical consequence of this increased capacity we mentioned, but it’s miss me like Apple, which has always put a lot mime in this area (on the iPhone for example is very fast), has allowed something like part of the new iPad.

New iPad has 1 GB of RAM

One of the questions that are often not answered during a presentation of new iPad is how much RAM the machine features. Apple did not disappoint us and let us again yesterday with intrigue. Yet, as we noted in our comparison table with specifications of all iPad, we assume that the new model features 1 GB of RAM.

One of the most respected media in these asunstos, The Verge, seems to have received information confirming the extension of the amount of RAM in the new iPad. On the other hand, is more than logical to double the 512 MB ​​that incorporates the iPad 2. Sure the screen Retina and thank her applications optimized for this increase in memory and work much better and more comfortable.

Even so, we should expect to March 16 so we can gut one of these small and confirm the news.

Apple wants $ 10 for Android device

Apple is willing to patents on some Android device makers to license for between 5 and 15 dollars per unit. It is unclear how serious the offer is.

Apple was in negotiations with Samsung and Motorola are prepared a number of patents to license for 5 to 15 dollars per Android device. Press Service reports that Dow Jones based on anonymous sources.

The warring parties have been keeping longer negotiate their mutual patent claims, but was previously Apple’s strategy has to be that Android smartphones are patented techniques and methods over.
