Cloud Computing: Google eBooks Launches with Android, iPhone, iPad Applications

Google Dec. 6 trotted out its long-awaited and delayed Google eBookstore, offering hundreds of thousands of paid titles and more than 2 million free titles, totaling 3 million-plus works. With so many titles at launch, eBooks is certainly an aggressive alternative to Amazon's Kindle, Apple's iPad and Barnes & Noble's Nook electronic reading platforms. What differentiates Google eBooks from those services is that there is no dedicated device for the books to run on. Google encourages users to search and pay for hundreds of thousands of titles from publishers and read them on their desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones. Book content, which includes more than 2 million free titles scanned into the Google Books platform, is not tethered to specific devices, but procured from the cloud. Google did, however, provide free e-reader applications for the Android and Apple iOS platforms, allowing users to read books from Android handsets and tablets, as well as Apple's iPad and iPhone devices. These applications are available from the Google eBookstore here now. eWEEK offers a brief visual tour of what these apps look like on Android devices, iPads and iPhones.

Smaller ipad rumors......IPAD 2 details leak out =p (read it first here )

While it’s always entertaining to try and peer into the future of Apple, rumors that swirl around are not always accurate. In addition, even when the rumors turn out to be true, Apple frequently tries to deflect users away from the correct conclusions.

Today Reuters is reporting that Apple is working on new versions of the popular iPad. The new device will have two built-in cameras to use with Apple’s FaceTime video chat application that is available on other Apple platforms, and one to take pictures/videos. The device will also have a better screen, similar to the “Retina display” available on the iPhone.

In addition to the above improvements, it is also rumored that Apple will be creating a smaller version of the iPad. The device is said to be nearly half the size of the current 9.7” screen model and will fill the gap between the extremely portable iPod Touch/iPhone and the relatively large iPad. Steve Jobs had dismissed this rumor back in October but according to the article, a source in the supply chain has said that the smaller iPads are on the way.

Although not all of these rumors are new, the fact that Apple has inked deals with multiple sourcing vendors to create these new products makes it seem like a fairly safe bet that the new devices are on the horizon. January might be a bit too soon to see the products, but expect an announcement from Apple sometime in the near future

Enterprise Mobility: Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab Lead Tablet Choices for Consumers

Holiday season 2010 was supposed to be a shopping boom for smartphones and netbook computers based on Google's Chrome Operating System. The smartphone outlook is bright, as Apple's iPhone 4 is the best of its kind. Meanwhile, Android smartphones took off like a rocket, starting with the Motorola Droid last November and continuing on with the HTC Droid, Incredible HTC Evo 4G, Motorola Droid X and the Samsung Galaxy S devices. The netbook boom didn't happen. While smartphones rocketed, Apple went and upset that scheme in April by launching the iPad, the tablet computer that took the mobile computing world by storm. The machines sold millions of units, forcing Samsung, Archos, ViewSonic and others to crank up their touch-screen building engines. At the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco earlier this month, tablets were everywhere. Also slowing the netbook roll is the fact that Chrome OS has been delayed for reasons unknown. So instead of showcasing netbooks this holiday season, eWEEK believes it is prudent to celebrate the devices that have made such an impact on the market. Here, eWEEK highlights the iPad, Galaxy Tab and some other choices to give tablet-curious consumers an idea of what they might get with the different machines.

Apple plans for 2011 =)

Apple is a word that every one would choose when it comes for technology or gadgets.Apple is in the driver's seat when it comes to consumer computing, but it's also a force to be reckoned with for business IT, thanks in large part to its wildly successful combination of iPhone and iPad.

If any company is associated with ease of use, it's Apple. There will be a great deal of attention on the company in 2011—between the second-generation iPad, the fifth-generation iPhone and Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion," I already have three major story subjects emerging, and I write this with December yet to start.
Building on Apple's success with the iPhone, the iPad may well single-handedly kill off the netbook computer as a platform, or at least reduce it to niche status. Analysts are falling over each other in their eagerness to guess the number of iPads that Apple will sell in 2011, but here's my answer to that question: Apple will sell as many iPads as its suppliers can build. If it can get 50 million units built, it can sell them.
The next iPhone will draw attention because Apple's handling of the iPhone 4's debut lacked the usual panache that I associate with the company. The mental images aren't terribly positive ones: a police task force seizing a journalist's personal and professional equipment after he returned a prototype device that had come into his possession, Apple CEO Steve Jobs' rebuttal of "You're holding it wrong" when confronted with reports of antenna issues, the manufacturing debacle that has so far stymied production of the white iPhone 4. I have to wonder if the company just had a bad year, or whether something more serious is going on.
I am, however, very bullish on what Lion could do to embrace touch-based interfaces, and in so doing possibly bridging the gap between the classic keyboard-and-mouse paradigm that we've lived with for more than a quarter-century and the touch-based interface that's moving up from the mobile device. I could see Apple selling a great number of MacBooks and MacBook Pros by incorporating a touch-screen keyboard, for example.
There you have it, in a nutshell: three products, from one company, and 12 months of 2011 to see how their stories will unfold.
