Eee Pad is designed to vie with e-Readers like the Nook and the Kindle, the Eee Pad is designed to go nose to nose with the Apple iPad.

The tablet Asus will offer all the features of the iPad. Unveiled at Computex preview, World Computer Exhibition in Taiwan, this new gadget will be sold in the first quarter of 2011 and appears as the first serious competitor for the iPad, the tablet from Apple .

Asus eee pad yesterday presented themselves as direct competitors of the iPad tablet.
The Eee Tablet of Asus uses a screen with a resolution of 2450 dpi (dots per inch or dots per inch) to provide it with a fine resolution and sensitivity that we can build on its function notepad / drawing.

The device also embeds a 2 megapixel webcam that can be used for taking notes, as well as microSD and USB ports for synchronization of data and notes. More than a reading lamp of ebooks, this is a personal calendar using the possibilities of e-paper displays.

Available in two sizes: 12 inches, for the EP121, or 10 inches with the EP101TC, for a price ranging from $ 399 to $ 499. These prices are a strong argument against the iPad, which starts at $ 499.

The eee EP101TC Pad is a 10-inch model (the definition of the slab has not been disclosed) running Windows Mobile 7. Asus announces a maximum thickness of 12.2 mm and weighs 675 grams.

The eee EP121 equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo low power and work under Windows 7. An SD card reader, a webcam or a USB port are also present. This is particularly designed for those people in search of a tablet that is more efficient and also closer to an ultra-portable. It is also possible to purchase an optional dock system – the keyboard that, once established, will transform the tablet into a real laptop

“Our tablet can meet uses very broad and can increase productivity,” insisted Jonney Shih, CEO of Asus.

For the late starters ‘The iPad’ is the Apple’s newest invention designed to surf the Web and read newspapers and books on the go.

The company Apple Inc. is now busy trying to secure content for the device is alerting developers that they have only a week’s time to prepare iPad apps and submit them for review if they want them to be in the App Store on April 3. It is required that the developers must build their apps using beta 5 of the iPhone OS 3.2 SDK and should be submitted by 5pm PDT on March 27 so that they get an initial review by Apple.

Apple has reduce its initial ambitions for the launch of the iPad now and is trying to reach at an agreement with at least some media groups for the supply of content for the iPad at an discounted rate. The company has discarded by now his idea of offering a subscription television service that could be seen on the iPad. Some companies are weighing the advantages of working with Apple, they fear that a price cut will affect their business today. Apple is also expected to postpone some of these plans to focus on other content. Many newspaper and magazine publishers have expressed concern that the iPad not work with Flash video system from Adobe Systems, that is used by many companies in to display their multimedia content. In addition to these problems, some accessories for the touch screen device are also delayed. The keyboard / charging station and USB Power Adapter 10W not be available until May, one month after launch.

However, what it surely on the offer is the new iBooks virtual library, which allows owners of an iPad buy and read digital books. The major publishers are expected to file most of their titles and the iPad should have the most books offered by other competing products like the Kindle from Amazon.com.

Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs has described iPad as “magical and revolutionary”, which the users are excitedly awaiting.

The most inexpensive model without 3G-Module with 16 GB of memory costs $ 499; a variant, equipped with a modem 3G and 64 GB of memory, will cost $ 829.

Tablet computer Apple iPad is due in U.S. stores on the 3rd of April, furthermore, only in the version without support for 3G-networks. Option with 3G support should appear in the U.S. retail in late April, at the same time both versions of the Apple iPad will appear in Canada, Europe and Japan. Prices for each region will be determined individually. Apple sets the recommended level of prices only for U.S. retailers.

Each Apple store has allocated a certain number of admissible applications as soon as it is exceeded, the particular outlet will stop taking orders for the iPad. Since the beginning of sales in the U.S. have iPad on Saturday, the 3rd of April, the delivery device to the client may take some time.

Shipments iPad will begin April 3: On this day tablet purchased will have the modification without the 3G-module. Deliveries of models with support for third-generation mobile communication will be organized towards the end of next month.

Analysts predict that the most popular is to use iPad the cheapest model with 16 gigabytes of memory and a WiFi adapter for $ 500, although the manufacturer is the best deal iPad – a version with 32 gigabytes of memory. However, to judge the outcome of sales is still too early. Some sources predict that in the current half-year Apple will release about 5 million Tablet PCs iPad.

iPad support for 1024 × 768 resolution, standard non-mercury and arsenic-free glass manufacturing energy-efficient LED-backlit display, the screen bright colors saturated.

On laptops one can move freely between applications, such as listening to music, e-mail program, notes, and the Internet without interruption and load times can has become the standard for all potential users, thereby causing the shift of the iPad will be a real obstacle.

The next point is in contrast t is that iPad does not have a camera (which is the considerable size of the device and thus sufficient) space for the installation so far is surprising, as the latest generation of iPods have now even on video features. Also with regard to programs such as Skype would be a built-in camera or Webcam, as it exists in many Macbooks, was really obvious.

Another hardware limitation is the relatively bulky adapters that are needed to the device to cameras or USB-connected unions. Also awkward is the use of the touch pad keyboard, which does not differ significantly from the known versions of the iPhone. Typing longer texts, is thus rather complicated – unless you have located the unit on a flat surface. Even for Apple offering a similar accessory that can be purchased. If necessary, you can also buy an additional keyboard. Suitable for mobile use, this combination does not.

Finally, in addition to the iPhone keyboard is also an iPhone software restriction: iPad users have to do without surfing the Internet on Flash. For a device that would have such a large display like the iPad has and that is also advertised with the phrase “the best web experience you’ve ever had,” should eventually reconsider its refusal to integrate Flash Apple. How many users are willing to come to terms with the large gaps resulting in a variety of websites, remains to be seen.

Also seen is to carry out repairs which Apple has yet – after all, puts the iPad still in the infancy of its development.

If rumors are to be believed, the introduction of the Apple tablet will have a mammoth effect. The way the iPod and iTunes had on digital music so will the Apple tablet on the publishing and media.  Apple’s new device, ipad, or islate as heard will be giving the media and publishing industry a time machine.

Apple tablet is a one piece computer with a touch screen anywhere from 7 to 11 inches.  Put it differently, larger than an iPhone or iPod Touch but smaller than a typical notebook.

The machine is probable to have a virtual keyboard that looks when you need it, as on an iPhone. It’s as in all probability that one will be able to connect a wireless physical keyboard for use at home or in the classroom.

Apple tablet may be equipped with a camera so that consumers can engage in video conversations through Apple’s iChat software. Also, consumers would be able to play games, watch video, send e-mail, surf the Web and tap into the iTunes App Store to fetch applications that may be optimized for the larger display.  A multi purpose tablet could help the publishing industry fend off Kindle.  Consumers are likely being able to read electronic books and periodicals.

According to Forrester Research Inc. , an Apple tablet also will eat into sales of e-readers from Amazon.com Inc. and Sony Corp.,

The tablet will run all music and video apps of the iPhone and iPod Touch, also figures to have 3G cellular connectivity to complement Wi-Fi,  perhaps through AT&T, Verizon Wireless or even both.

Tablet pricing could be as high as $1,000 or so, though a smaller-screen model might command a few hundred dollars less. Some sort of discounted cell phone-like subsidy might also be potential with a wireless contract.

Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, stated, “If you analyze our quarterly revenue, it’s surprising that Apple is now a $50+ billion company,” “The new products we are planning to release this year are very strong, starting this week with a major new product that we’re really excited about.”

The bloggers and experts are bit suspicious about the advertisement and also the device too is looking unknown. The ads also highlights that the device which has been showcased has been in the making for ten years and it will revolutionize personal computing and Named as iPad.

This invitation simply states: “Come see our latest creation”. It is of course the announcement for showcasing something advance.

Assumptions are there that, it is for the famous internet tablet touch which is in talk for several months. A device without a keyboard, but with careful ergonomics, a large multitouch  screen to surf the Internet, view documents, and read eBooks.

The analysts on Wall Street predicted last month that Apple will market next March – after the stock made – a tablet equipped with a touch screen of 10.1 inches with a price estimated at $ 1000 (excluding operator subsidies). A product clearly positioned on the premium segment, therefore, while several slates to touch under $ 500 were presented at the last Consumer Electric Show in Las Vegas.

Just before Christmas, Gene Munster, who follows the activities of the firm at the apple store for Pier Jaffray & Co informed that an estimated 50% chance that Apple unveils iSlate in January. In a confidential note, however, cited by several sources, Gene Munster said: “We expect a hardware platform type Tablet PC using many original features to the iPod but with a bigger screen (10 inches) and we anticipate a differentiating factor on the mobile to your software. Several options are possible as the arrival of a tactile version of MacOS X to iPhone OS development.

Some experts are suggesting a bar run by a new version of iPhone OS that could exploit a large number of applications available on the App Store.

Speculation on the tablet from Apple, which culminated in early January at CES, is far from the prevailing opinion end of 2008. At that time, Apple CEO Steve Jobs had said that the company was not interested in the market of netbooks, which is still growing strong.

Pragmatic, Steve Jobs had left the door open if the company succeeded in designing an innovative product. “We’ll wait and see how that nascent category evolves,” he said in October 2008. “And we have some very interesting ideas if it evolves.”

Exclusive services for the tablet from Apple

To promote its launch pad, Apple could partner with publisher Harper Collins to offer electronic books and the New York Times, which is considering a new Internet service charge. Some clues suggest a special relationship between the NYT and Steve Jobs. This was demonstrated by the example of web browsing capabilities of the iPhone with a page of the NYT. Apple also admitted to being in talks with several groups of American and foreign press to offer exclusive services on its platforms. Apple customers can for example access to free content before opting for a premium membership. Hopefully, the NYT does not repeat the mistake made in the 2005 to 2007 with an online subscription of $ 50 per year or $ 8 per month for access to certain parts of its website. An offer that ended in embarrassing failure free and open archive of The Times from 1987 to Today

On 27 January, Apple could also unveil MacBook inspired by the latest Intel chips engraved in 32nm (Core i7 and i5) which incorporate a graphics circuit, and for some, a Turbo Boost function. Fox News, for his part, reports that the conference will address three Apple products: the famous touch pad, iPhone, and a new version of iLife. Finally, the site DigiTimes.com, citing a Chinese business newspaper, recalls the arrival of an iMac with a touchscreen than 22 inches. The true picture will come within a week …

In previous years, it has to be noticed that Apple had always used the month of January for releasing revolutionary products and as a matter of deviating the mind from other competitors, representing the latest inventions at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. In the last year January 2008, Apple launched ultra slim MacBook Air computer and at the same time CEO Steve Jobs declared the launch of first version of iPhone.

Priory also, Apple has shown a possibility of manufacturing tablet computer but postponed the idea at the last time, as already there are several tablets available in the market from contender PC makers. The leading digital music player giant France’s Archos has manufactured an internet tablet based on Google’s Android software. In addition, Microsoft’s recent tablet prototype comprises two 7 inch multi screens on each side in the form of a booklet.

Though the arise of downloadable applications and legal digital content services fired by iPhone and availability of wireless broadband all across the world has produced a arena for tablet PC that is not just a keyboard less computer but a multimedia device. This thing acts like a cross between Apple’s TV service, iPod and iPhone.

While venturing about new products, Apple deny to comment on any activity but stated a little bit that it is working on two versions of iSlate, one having a 10 inch screen and other having a 7 inch screen. Customers will be allowed to download applications developed by third party developers onto the device just same as iPhone.

It has been rumored that Apple is trying to ink a deal with American companies like CBS and Disney that would assures top shows come along on the device on the daily basis. While in a recent note on Apple, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster evaluated that there is 75% likeliness that Apple will have an event in January and a 50% chance that it will be held to launch the Apple Tablet. In case, if Apple announced the Tablet in January, it would likely to be shipped later in the March quarter.

Speculation has been done about the new arrival of Apple’s creation i.e. tablet computer, which helped shares to rise a new record high of just over $209 (£131), making Jobs’ stake worth more than $1.1bn. The shares have gained almost 150% this year as the iPhone, and its success in swaying customers to download applications from the iTunes store, has cemented Apple’s position as the world’s most leading consumer electronics brand.

Tablet is expected to have a 10.1 inch LCD display, and ant an OLED display as many had previously thought. It is also expected to have close to 64 GB of flash memory capacity. Reiner further predicts a price tag close to $1,000, much higher than $600-$800 as predicted by other analysts, for an Apple Tablet.

Apple is said to have approached publishers with a very attractive revenue sharing proposal. Apple is said to have offered a 30%-70% split, with 70% of the revenue going to the publishers. This is much higher that Amazon’s current 50%-50% on the Kindle, and 30%-70% (30% for the publishers) in case of a Kindle exclusive. Reiner expects the publishing industry, which at present doesn’t have any exclusivity or advertising and a low revenue cut, to be vulnerable to the offer by Apple’s Tablet.

The analyst goes on to comment on the effect of Tablet performance of Apple, and expects a 50-75 cents increase in the per-share earnings to Apple’s bottom line in the latter half of 2010. Another analyst, Vijay Rakesh, seems to corroborate with Reiner, and expects Apple to build close to 10 million Tablets during 2010 itself.
