iPhone TIPS: Will Microsofts Surface as iPad Killer Does His Job ?

iPhone TIPS: Will Microsofts Surface as iPad Killer Does His Job ?

- by iPhone-Tips-Tricks.com - Q: What is happened? A: Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, has announced the new tablet device with a keyboard. Q: How does it called? It is named "Surface". This is the same name as the big-ass table computer that Microsoft has announced back in fall 2007. See this hilarious video on THIS older post. Q: Does it compete with the Apple iPad? A: Well it has far less apps of course to do something useful with. The iPad has about 140.000+ iPad app, Android has some hundreds and Windows Surface has just started with 0+ apps and needs to grow. (source: geek.com) The question is, what are you gonna do with a tablet PC, without a good amount of apps? Q: A loose keyboard, does that work? A: Well, we haven't been hands-on yet. However, I know that Apple has thought about a computer with touchscreen. That not works well if you use the keyboard and must touch the screen to select things!! imagine that. So I hope the touchpad on the surface computer as well as on any Macbook, enough surface to work on it. Another cosmetic thing is that you will need to attach a usb devices and power on the lid of your computer. For the rest, we will welcome Microsoft to improve the tablet market in favor of the customer. Q: video? A: Found a few this morning and placed below including some specifications of the two types of tablets: Specs: OS:
 Windows RT Light(1): 676 g Thin(2): 9.3 mm Clear: 10.6" ClearType HD Display Energized: 31.5 W-h Connected: microSD, USB 2.0, Micro HD Video, 2x2 MIMO antennae Productive: Office '15' Apps, Touch Cover, Type Cover Practical: VaporMg Case & Stand Configurable: 32 GB, 64 GB Surface for Windows 8 Pro OS: Windows 8 Pro Light(1): 903 g Thin(2): 13.5 mm Clear: 10.6" ClearType Full HD Display Energized: 42 W-h Connected: microSDXC, USB 3.0, Mini DisplayPort Video, 2x2 MIMO antennae Productive: Touch Cover, Type Cover, Pen with Palm Block Practical: VaporMg Case & Stand Configurable: 64 GB, 128 GB (via techtubecentral)

iPhone TIPS: iOS 6 - Siri will do Local Search Around the World, Finally!

According to Apple, in iOS 6, Siri will provide you real local search results wherever you are in the world. Q That is great, but I only speak mandarin chinese or Italian, can I speak mandarin or Italian to Siri now? A: Yes you can! In iOS 6, Italian, Korean and Cantonese are supported !
