Itablets, are they the kiss of death for all other digital devices? Rest in peace.
The year of our Lord 2020
Itablets, are they the kiss of death for all other digital devices?
Rest in peace – iPhone, Laptop, Desktop, Notebook and iReader. We have seen it in the past where a new piece of technology makes everything before it obsolete almost over night. A few recent examples that stand out include the picture tube TV which became the flat screen TV, the Plasma TV and the 3-D TV. Next is the VHS which became the DVD, then the Blu-Ray DVD, then the 3-D Blu-Ray DVD. We have evolved from the desktop computer, to the notebook, the laptop and now the itablet. The major difference with the itablet is that it affects digital devices across the board. The itablet is already a better ireader than anything in the market with unlimited capabilities. It is not a major stretch to envision the capabilities of the itablet expanded to included direct iphone like calling features that would include a video camera and have the ability to multitask or multifunction at the same time. With the power of a desktop computer, without the desk and lighter and more flexible that a notebook or laptop, the itablet is the perfect mixture of function, form and fun. With the power of the 3-F’s, the itablet is probably the best gaming device ever created. The itablet is handy and powerful with excellent graphics and again with the perfect mixture of function, form and fun. What is most confusing for me is why one of the major players in the itablet industry has not gotten in front of this opportunity. Do you hear me, Motorola, Microsoft, HP, etc…With Apple gobbling up nearly 70%+ of the itablet market, you would think that one of these little giants would position their itablet as the do all next coming of the revolution. At least before Apple does with the iPad3 or iPad4. Admittedly, I do not have nearly the financial ability to do what it would take to position a product in this whole in the early stages of the itablet revolution. But, if I did it might be a little know low cost itablet out of India called the “Notion Ink”, produced in China. If funded properly and with a name change and a few more hardy capabilities this low cost itablet could change the game here in the US. http://www.notionink.com/ If you have the money, I have the plan…Let’s talk. The point is this, it is not clear who will step up and take control of the end game which is to be the first to turn five or more digital devices into one. The one itablet that will be the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning of the death of the digital devices. This all powerful itablet will be called the “IT” itablet. There can be only “One”…think about it, the “IT” itablet could be the new name for the Notion Ink, coming to America soon, maybe. BY KEN WATSON
iPad 2 vs Motarola Xoom by David Pierce
iPad 2 vs. Xoom: Which Tablet Should You Buy?
Getting into the tablet game? Your top options right now are the Apple iPad 2 and the Motorola Xoom. But which one is right for you?
The next tablet generation is upon us. The best Android tablet we've seen so far, the Motorola Xoom, is available now, and the very-promising iPad 2 goes on sale on next week. We've tested and reviewed the Xoom, and though we haven't put the iPad 2 through its full paces in the PCMag labs yet, we did get some quality hands on time at Apple's event. The question of the moment is simple: if you want a tablet now, which one should you buy?
On a basic level, the Apple iPad 2 and the Motorola Xoom are relatively similar. The iPad 2's 9.7-inch screen isn't much smaller than the Xoom's 10.1-incher (though differing aspect ratios mean the dimensions are somewhat different). They each come with 1GHz, dual-core processors—Apple's A5 in the iPad and Nvidia's Tegra 2 in the Xoom. They've each got front and rear cameras, Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, an accelerometer and gyroscope, and access to large app markets: the iOS App Store on the iPad 2, and the Android Market on the Xoom.
But there are a few key differences between the devices, which you'll want to consider. Most significant is the operating system: Android is a much more open, customizable system than iOS, but that has pros and cons. iOS devices tend to be updated more reliably and more frequently, since the whole ecosystem is within Apple's control. On the other hand, you must rely on Google, Motorola, and Verizon to get your Xoom upgraded. For the tinkerer or hacker, though, Android is probably a better choice.
The Xoom is definitely the best Android tablet you can buy right now. Its dual-core processor makes it extremely fast and responsive (something other Android tablets have struggled with), and Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) is designed specifically for tablets, unlike previous versions of Google's operating system. There are some glaring omissions in the Xoom—there's currently no Flash support, the SD card slot doesn't work right now, and the 4G radio isn't even inside the device yet—but despite those issues, which Motorola promises to rectify, it's still a solid choice.
The iPad 2 is largely an incremental improvement over the original, with a number of spec upgrades and a few new features, like dual cameras. The iPad 2 is thinner and lighter than the Xoom (or the original iPad), and has upgraded computing power across the board. But the experience of using it likely won't be much different from the original iPad—which is good or bad, depending on your taste for iOS. It will be available from both Verizon and AT&T, whereas the Xoom is only available through Verizon.

Meet the WePad, an iPad for Older Folks by Brian Heater
Meet the WePad, an iPad for Older Folks
Move over, Apple iPad: Here's the the WePad. Details about this upcoming Android tablet have just been released by its German manufacturer, Neofonie.
The device will work with the existing Android Market and also have its very own WePad AppStore. It's a bit larger than the iPad and features only 6 hours of battery life (the iPad is rated for 10 hours). It does, however feature a built-in Webcam.
Interestingly, Neofonie may be targeting older users with this device. "Elderly are the core target group of newspaper and magazine publishing house[s]," according to the company. Such a statement actually lends some credence to earlier comments that the iPad, frankly, seems like an iPod touch for older users.
There's still a lot to be revealed about the device, including pricing and a release date. (If the company hopes to hold its own against the iPad, here's hoping that the answers to those questions are "cheap" and "soon.") The company is set to " release further details on our partners and product timeline on April 12."

The First Page of Google
The secret of getting to the First Page of Google By Ken Watson To get to the first page of Google can prove to be more of a test of your ability to problem solve as opposed to your skill level as a web designer. I have several different sites that are currently on the first page of Google. They are completely unrelated and were created years apart. My most recent site took less than 30 days to get to Google’s first page and my oldest site has been on the first page of Google for over year.
Itablet Apps Search for “itablet apps”
Gas Stations for Sale Search for “bank owned gas stations for sale” How did I do it? First let me show you how some have done for free. The following article can help you get it done, for free. READ IT. Get To the First Page of Google: The 4 Essentials of Ranking a Link Less Small Business
