Apple iPad , 3 June in the US, new TV ad
Mar 8th
Apple just released a new TV ad on the new iPad device they intend to sell starting June 3 . The iPad was intended for a release late this month but Apple delayed it for a week due to apparent software and supply problems. The release will be for the US, the rest of the world will get it later in June by legal means, but again, I’m sure I’ll have the possibility to get an iPad after 10 days of it’s “US release” , what I don’t have is the sum of 500 euros for it, but that’s subject of change.
Steve Jobs also stated in a mail that no native tethering between the Wifi iPad and the iPhone will be possible, there will be other ways, but not supported by Apple, and I find it logic to go this way, If tethering with the iPhone was possible, what point would it have to buy the Wifi+3G, more expensive iPad models.

Windows Phone 7 User Interface
Feb 16th
Microsoft has be fighting for two years to recover the mobile market lost to the iPhone and the app store. It started with the iPod some years ago when Microsoft’s Zune remained in the dark, no one wanted a Zune, people were going to Apple’s alternatives.
Is it possible for the new phone that Microsoft is working on to bring a change in the mobile market ? I don’t think so. It will be a Zune Phone.
I’ve watched this subject for the last days regarding the user interface of the phone, it’s just a Zune with call capability and a very very bad iPhone virtual keyboard ripoff.
Not long ago people were bashing Apple for not including Flash in they’re iPad and iPhone … well it seams that they are not alone, Adobe confirmed no Flash support in Windows Mobile 7.
I forgot to mention that even the keyboard effects are iPhone like, and the one big center button that you press for the home screen…kind of funny in a way or another so see that from Microsoft. More >
More about Apple’s iPad
Jan 28th
Yesterday was the release day for the iPad as i presented, so, after a day, it seams people divided in two big categories, the first one considers it “the iFail” and totally rejects the idea of buying this product in the near future, the second category users tend to think that the iPad is just the start of a new generation for mobile computing and Internet access, and it’s normal for the first device to be limited in features.
I don’t know about limitations and first generation, but the lack of Flash support is kind of a setback, remember the good days when the iPhone was released and it was strange for such a “futuristic” device to lack support for one of the most important technologies that had improved the Internet so much in the last years, Adobe said that it’s up to Apple, they are the ones responsible for blocking and limiting the web experience on the iPhone.

Just a beer and high tech
Sep 19th
So, I find my self sitting around in Van Graph K-FE in Timisoara, Romania, having a beer and taking a break from the usual routine daily life, errr, sometimes the guy need a break.
So, except using Windows 7 x64 as my primary os and buying myself a new 320 GB Western Digital SATA-II drive, nothing unusual happened.
I’m waiting like a lot of people for the Google Chrome OS, in the last while, I liked a lot Google’s way of presenting the user interface in their apps. Minimal, easy, consistent, yet powerful.
What’s your opinion on Google and the Chrome OS in the market of current systems?
