Lots of Android tablets coming (2)


Huang also touched on why a tablet design is better than a laptop for many applications. "Open your notebook. [Inside] it's got heat pipes, and fans, and heat spreaders, lots of copper. You're going to get rid of all of that," he said. Generally, this results in lighter products with longer battery life.

And what's the fate of notebooks and Netbooks? "By being able to connect a wireless keyboard and mouse--the difference between a tablet and notebook is pretty marginal," he said. "[Tablets] will be quite disruptive to notebooks and entry-level desktops," he said.

Huang also waxed eloquent about tablets during the company's earnings conference call. "Our tablet and phone business is going to ramp. And it's going to ramp hard. The amount of activity in our Tegra business is simply too great right now. Come the beginning the [next] year is when you'll see what we have been so busy working on," he said.

"This isn't a fad. Everybody's building tablets because it's just so important. Car companies are working on tablets, consumer electronics companies are working on tablets, computer companies are working on tablets, and communications companies are working on tablets. The medical industry is working on tablets," he said during the earnings conference call. "I don't remember in the history of computing [when] a singular device is being worked on by all of the industry."

just don't see how they are going to catch up. Apple can already count on making 10s of MILLIONS of iPads. Estimates are running between 40 and 50 million iPads for 2011. The other OEMs can't make that bet, especially because they are all competing against each other for mindshare, telco subsidies, retail space, marketing dollars, developers and components and this fragmentation is going to be their undoing in the tablet space.

And this time Apple isn't playing the telco subsidy games where the true cost is hidden. In fact, Apple is totally marginalizing the telcos with the iPad. Note how Apple intro'd the iPad in China--with no telco!

Who would have ever thought that Verizon would be selling iPads without a CDMA chip or a two year subscription?!! That would have been crazy talk a couple of months ago.

And what's an Android Tablet dev supposed to do. Develop for the Tab? Wait for Android 3.0. Or is Chrome the Android tablet Messiah? And should they optimize their apps for a 7 inch screen? 5 inch? 10 inch? 9 inch?

With cellphones, these guys could just slap Android into their next product which was going to be produced with or without Android. And the artificial and real telco barriers shielded them from competition with the iPhone and each other and their confusing array of models. With slates, they have to start from scratch. There was/is no next model because there is/was no first model that has ever had any success.online wholesale electronic

The fact that the Android OEMs have to offer a 7 inch model with subsidy to compete with Apple's 10 inch model without a subsidy is simply stunning.

I'm telling you, Apple is bringing every bit of their marketing, economies of scale, manufacturing, retail network, developer, ecosystem savvy to bear on the slate market. And they can do this better than anyone else because they now have four major product lines all sharing the same OS, apps, development costs, ecosystem and hardware components--iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and AppleTV. And BTW, AppleTV is selling better than anything else in that category.

Android tablets will outshine iPad, eventually


Dell founder and CEO Michael Dell believes Android tablets will eventually overtake Apple's iPad as the dominant force in the slate market, according to an interview published today in The Wall Street Journal.

"Not tomorrow. Not the next day. But again, if you look at 18 months ago, Android Tablet phones were like, 'What is that?' And now there are more Android phones than iPhones," Dell said in response to a question on the possibility of Android tablets beating iPad sales. "I don't see any reason why the same won't occur with Android tablets."

Admittedly, Dell has a vested interest in seeing that happen. His company currently offers both 5- and 7-inch Android tablets, known as the Streak. He also pointed out in the interview that Dell will continue to double down on Android. online wholesale electronic

Of course, Dell didn't say exactly when the shift might occur in tablet market dominance. Right now, Apple's iPad is easily overshadowing the competition. According to research firm IDC, Apple owned 83 percent of the tablet market last year, and IDC expects the company to control between 70 and 80 percent of the tablet market this year.

That further evidences the trouble Android is having establishing a beachhead in the tablet market. The Motorola Xoom, which launched in late February, has been gathering dust on store shelves. Deutsche Bank said recently that only 100,000 units of the device have been sold so far.

It's a similar story for the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which launched last year. Samsung said earlier this year that it shipped 2 million units of its tablet worldwide, but it acknowledged in an earnings call with investors in January that the "sell-out wasn't as fast as we expected."

Even so, tablets are catching on in a big way. IDC said earlier this year that it expects 50 million tablets to ship in 2011 alone.

For his part, Dell acknowledged that the uptick in demand for tablets over the past year has been somewhat surprising.

"I'd say [the] rapid rise of the tablet," Dell said in response to the Journal's question on what has surprised him most over the past several years. "I didn't completely see that coming."

Is Your Baby Monitor Safe?


Most of the parents give their children all care and love. How better to take care of baby becomes their big concern. With the development of technology, a lot of young parents buy baby monitors from electronics wholesaler as their assistant. Lately, there has been some discussion regarding the safety of digital baby monitors, which use digital communication in their link between the mobile station and the base station.
Children may be more vulnerable from exposure to any form of electro magnetic energy, such as that generated by mobile telephones, and to a degree baby monitors. Digital technology, due to its 'pulsed' nature appears to be more harmful at lower levels of power than the older analogue technology, which is potentially more prone to interference but creates a more 'even' output without spikes.
The distance from a transmitter is important, since the power drops off as the square of the distance. If you double the distance of any infant monitor or transmitter from your baby, the level of electromagnetic radiation is reduced by a factor of 4. If you are concerned about the safety of your digital baby monitor consider the following:
Starting now, newborn infants will wear a soft tamper-proof ankle strap and monitor, called a Hugs tag, that will allow nurses to track the baby's whereabouts on the maternity floor day and night. If someone attempts to remove the strap or the infant is moved to an unauthorized zone, an alarm will sound.
Video baby monitors offer a sense of security to parents, but experts warn that they may be letting strangers get a glimpse of your sleeping baby.

As with radio baby monitors, signals sometimes get switched, but with video monitors, that signal gives an opportunity for others to peek in.

Experts say it's a major concern, especially since the signal can be picked up blocks away, not just next door.

“Anyone with a similar receiver could pick this up,” said security expert Robert Ing, “they could videotape it, they could put it on the internet, it could be used to invade one's privacy, for identity theft, child predators. It begged the question, how many homes were transmitting signals without the parent's knowledge.” online wholesale electronic

Digital video baby monitors do offer more protection than analog versions, but even then experts say you're not 100 percent protected. Experts recommend keeping the monitors off and unplugged when they're not being used.

Baby monitor may cause radiation to infants


For many foreign parents, the baby monitor is essential to take care of kid. As long as this kind of monitor on the child's bed, parents can in the kitchen, study, etc. anywhere in the home to do their own thing, even to go out to see friends, but at the same time, the baby was able to keep abreast of the situation, listen to issue them any voice. However, some scientists have recently expressed concern about this. They warned that this was intended to ensure the safety of the baby monitor, but may in radiation among young children. 

Radiation similar to the cordless phone 

According to British newspaper "Independent" 20, scientists said that the majority of baby monitors on the market today, with the cordless telephone, digital enhancements are used in wireless communications technology. Therefore, these baby monitors, cordless phones will be like, issued a similar radiation. 

In general, the parents sent their children to hear the voice of the baby monitor will be placed in the baby very close to the distance. However, the child's body and nervous system is still in the developmental stage, their bodies are especially vulnerable to radiation.

Children absorb more radiation than adults

Currently, the UK Health Protection Agency, William Stewart, head of the secret has been authorized to conduct a survey to study in the school installed Wi-Fi wireless network would cause any kind of impact children. As early as 7 years ago, Sir William Stewart, a survey conducted by mobile phone radiation found, a year-old child the amount of radiation absorbed, per kilogram of body weight on average, twice as an adult.

Johansen Euler Karolinska Institute in Sweden that the developing baby, the body cells are "very sensitive." A study of radiation information services, said: "put the baby in the bedroom caused by a monitor microwave radiation than living near cell phone towers in the radiation is also great. We have received many parents report that they in the use of baby monitors, the children often sleep well, and often crying. " online wholesale electronic

Of radiation expert Roger Coghill professor suggested that parents should monitor on the baby from the baby at least 3 meters. Professor Coghill said: "Although you want to hear the voice of the child, but you do not want to hurt them."
