Android Tablet Rumors

It seems as if people want Android to compete with Apple Ipad Tablet. As if there is this big battle waiting to happen. The problem is, the Ipad is a useless accessory that serves no other purpose than to do and be what Apple wants. That is, for the future to be planned and predetermined. Google makes their hardware and software with rules and laws protecting them to say ” this is what we are selling, this is what you can do with it. It is a Horse bit and Blinders future if you let the product manufacturers tell you what is good, as apposed to produce what you request.
There is no use in that tablet, otherwise people would have bought the many Microsoft tablets through the years. It’s not a question of quality, it’s a question of convenience and capabilities. If it is an E-book reader with app abilities Neat, so is a $200 laptop. I mean if sun glare is not a problem to you, Otherwise a Kendal migt be the better, lighter and cheaper rout.

You must always have the option of a mouse and keyboard. You should not force people to have only one interface option.

My only hope is everyone who makes gadgets, just ignores the Ipad and moves on in computer and telephone direction. That would prevent us from being forced into a touch screen only type of interface. That junk would get old fast. I would hate to write to the Tech News site on a touch screen. After about an hour, my finger tips would get sore. Imagen if it was your job. I actually freak out when people touch my monitor. Imagen if all we had was touchscreen. I would be forced to sit in teh corner chewing on the collar of my shirt staring off into space mumbling “amonia glass cleaners and key action, We used to be able to do what was called ‘over clocking’ and we could tweak our machines and linux was a real, it’s not a myth, it’s not a myth”.
Hopefully we get an Android system that competes with the Ipad, but is nothing like the Ipad at all. That would be our best hope and safest bet.

Google Notebook yet?

From what is being said at Computerworld.com (http://blogs.computerworld.com/google_ceo_hints_google_linux_netbooks_may_be_coming)

We see hints of it coming.

Again I think Google is funnier than apple about info leaks. Misguided leaks and disinformation.

I am counting on something portable, smaller than a notebook, bigger than a cellphone.

Like a psp or something, with an occasional advertisement here and there to cut the cost, then again, that is what we thought would happen with the”Gphone”. Remember when we called it that? We thought we would get spam from time to time, but the phone would be free and extremely useful, but actually if you upgrade to that phone before your contract is renewed, you are looking at +$300(usd). So what ever they are saying at computer world about special low $99 prices, are way far fetched. Might even get hyped in speculation then dropped later, just like they did with the G1. I mean really, it’s a 100% pure advertisement box, why the hell isn’t it cheaper ?????

We are pleased to present today’s launch of the all–new Millionaires Club – recognizing and celebrating all of the wealthy seven–figure Grand Theft Auto IV players at the Rockstar Games Social Club. Millionaire status is determined by totaling all of the money you’ve ever earned in single–player–mode from completing missions, winning races, doing vigilante side–jobs, and fortuitously picking up ‘dropped’ money in the street.

Come and see if you are a bona fide Millionaire, as well as where your single–player time to reach a million compares against all the other nouveaux riche ‘business men’ of Liberty City. If you would like to see just how rich your fellow Millionaires are, you can mouse over each for a quick glimpse of their lifetime single–player money earned. With three leaderboards ranked by who’s become a Millionaire first, who’s done it quickest, and who is the richest in the City. Grand Theft Auto IV Social Club registrants, simply enter the Social Club and click on the GTAIV area to browse to the Millionaire’s Club to see if you’ve earned access.

Multiplayer Leaderboards are in full effect at the Social Club, fully populated with the statistics of Xbox Live® and PLAYSTATION®Network members who have been wreaking havoc with Grand Theft Auto IV online modes. Registrants can access the boards to see who is top dog in any and all of the 13 multiplayer game modes – as well as leaders in overall scoring across all modes. See where you stand in the scheme of Grand Theft Auto IV online maniacs worldwide.

Just one of the many attractions in the works for the Rockstar Social Club, the Viral Infection zombie feature is coming very soon. Let’s see just how far the infection has spread. More information to come.
