India banned the import of telecommunications equipment in China

SAN FRANCISCO April 30, according to foreign media reports, India's Ministry of Communications Tuesday officially banned the import of mobile operators, Huawei, ZTE and other Chinese telecom equipment manufacturers.

India's Ministry of the Interior had feared that the telecommunications equipment from some countries may be built-in spyware or malicious software, so harmful to India's intelligence agencies. Last year in December, the Indian Ministry of Communications amended the license for mobile service operator license condition, all mobile operators to hand over the import of telecommunications equipment procurement plan, subject to review in order to obtain "security pass." But the Indian operators Tuesday before the ban, the Ministry of Communications are India's first official release of equipment for China's import ban.

As Huawei and ZTE are planning to push into the Indian market, a move the companies will form a larger impact. Early this year, Max Yang, CEO Huawei India, he said, over the next five years, investment in R & D center in India about 500 million U.S. dollars.

Apple's CEO Steve Jobs open letter to the full text shelling Flash

REVIEW: Apple CEO Steve Jobs Thursday issued an open letter about Flash, Apple decided not to list the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch all the reasons to support Flash. Following is the text of open letter:

Some Thoughts on the Flash

A long-standing relationship between Apple and Adobe. In fact, when Adobe was still just a garage, a small company, we meet on and its founder had. Apple is their first big customer. We Postscript language used in their latest Laserwriter laser printer at that time. Apple has been investing in Adobe, Adobe shareholders for many years is, with its 20% stake. The two companies have worked closely to create the desktop publishing industry; there are many good times together. But that part of the golden age is over, the two companies parted ways. Apple experienced a near-death experience, Adobe Acrobat family by virtue of its products into the enterprise market. Today, the two companies together only in the creative industries to provide products and services customers - Adobe's Creative Suites products, buyers, about half of Apple computer users. But in addition we have almost nothing in common with the Adobe interests at all.

I would like to write a little hastily Adobe's Flash products we have any views, so customers and critics will be able to better understand why we in the iPhone, iPod and iPad products block Flash. Adobe has criticized us that Flash is blocked because you want to protect the Apple online store, purely commercial interests. But the fact is that Flash is blocked because of technical problems. Adobe claimed that Apple is a closed system, Flash is open. But the reality is the opposite. Let me explain:

The first is "open."

Adobe's Flash products are 100% technology patents. Only Adobe can buy these products, while only Adobe has the right to improve it, pricing and so on. Having said that Flash is everywhere, but this does not mean that these products are open. The reason is that Adobe totally own and controls these products. So almost no matter from which point of view, Flash is a closed system.

Apple also has a number of patented products. Despite that iPhone, iPod and iPad systems are patented, but we always believed that all technical standards are the Internet should be open. Therefore, Apple refused to use Flash, but with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, and all are open standards. Benefit from these open standards, Apple’s mobile devices has shown the advantages of low power consumption and high performance. HTML5 is the latest network standards, has Google, Apple and many other companies use, it allows developers to develop more advanced graphics, printing and animation, and does not require third-party browser plug-ins (such as Flash) will be able to convert. HTML5 is fully open, by a joint management of its standards committee, Apple is one of them.

Apple also develops open standards for the Internet. For example, Apple's open source project from a small start developed a WebKit. It is a completely open source HTML5 rendering engine and core components Safari browser, is installed in all of our products. WebKit has been widely adopted. Google Android system in the browser to use it, Palm, Nokia also use it, the BlackBerry maker RIM has also announced that it will use WebKit. Other than Microsoft, almost the entire smart phone Internet browser equipped with a WebKit. WebKit open by positioning technology, Apple has actually developed a mobile Internet browser standard.

Second “the entire network."

Adobe has repeatedly claimed that Apple's mobile device can not access the "entire network", because 75% of the Web video is Flash format. But they did not mentioned is that almost all Flash format video are other more advanced formats: H.264, while the iPhone, iPod and iPad support this format. The number of YouTube videos of the entire network of about 40% of Apple's mobile devices can all play the video. iPad will provide best-ever YouTube video experience. In addition, Vimeo, Netflix, Facebook, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ESPN, NPR, "Time magazine", "New York Times," "The Wall Street Journal," "Sports Illustrated", "character" , "National Geographic" and so on site video, Apple can smooth playback. How much video is no iPhone, iPod and iPad users can not watch.

Another reason is that Adobe Apple devices can not play Flash games. This is true. Luckily, Apple's online store offers more than 50,000 games and entertainment applications, many of them are free. iPhone, iPod and iPad's games and entertainment applications to more than any other platform.

Third, on the reliability, security and performance

Symantec recently pointed out, Flash safety record in 2009 ranked last. We also have a hand information to prove that Flash is the leading cause of crash of Mac systems. We have cooperation with Adobe to solve these problems, but they still continue to haunt us. We do not want to reduce the iPhone, iPod and iPad reliability and security, it refused to use Flash.

Symantec recently pointed out, Flash safety record in 2009 ranked last. We also have a hand information to prove that Flash is the leading cause of crash of Mac systems. We have cooperation with Adobe to solve these problems, but they still continue to haunt us. In addition, Flash performance on mobile devices has been poor. Over the past few years, we have repeatedly requested that Adobe Flash can run well on mobile devices, but so far we have not seen any of the performance of Flash. Adobe has said publicly that Flash will be in early 2009 by a smart phone adoption, then changed to say that in the second half, later changed to say the first half of 2010, and now they say to wait until the second half of 2010. We believe that one day it will become true, but we are fortunate to not expect too much. Who knows how it will show it?

Fourth, The life time

Video playback, to achieve a longer life time, this mobile device must pass the hardware video decoding, because the software to consume too much power. Now a lot of chips for mobile devices including a decoder called H.264, which is an industry standard, in all Blu-ray DVD players were used at the same time by Apple, Google, Vimeo, and Netflix so many companies widely adopted.

Although Flash has recently added support for H.264, but almost all Flash site requires the older generation video decoder to decode, and must be run by software, which has long been used not for mobile chips. The difference is amazing: for example, on the iPhone, H.264 standard video can be up to 10 hours playback, but with software decoding of video will only play less than 5 hours.

Web re-use the H.264 video encoding, you can totally do not use Flash technology. These videos are in Apple's Safari and Google Chrome browser playback, completely without any plug-in iPhone, iPod and iPad also very effective on the play.

Fifth, The touch screen

Flash is to use a mouse designed for personal computers, rather than finger-controlled touch screen. For example, there are many Flash contains rollover, that is, when the cursor rolls over a certain point, it will pop up menu or other element. Apple's multi-touch screen technology no longer need a mouse, there is no concept of a rollover. Accordingly, many Flash sites must be improved to meet with a touch screen device. If the developers need to improve their Flash website, why not use such as HTML5, CSS and JavaScript that more advanced technology?

Even if the iPhone, iPod and iPad support to run Flash, does not solve the problem.

Sixth, The most important reason

Apart from Flash closed, arbitrary, technical defects and shortcomings of the equipment is not compatible with the touch, and we refuse to use Flash there is a more important reason. We discussed the use of Flash video and interactive broadcast network content of these shortcomings; however, developers still use Adobe Flash to develop Apple equipment.

Over the past bitter experience has made us realize, to get involved in a third-party software developers and platforms, will only lead to sub-standard applications, hinder the improvement and development platform. If the developers of the third-party libraries and tools to produce dependence, then the only choice in the third-party add new functionality, developers can take full advantage of platform experience and superiority. We can not be influenced by the decision of a third party.

If third-party cross-platform development tool, that situation would be worse. Third party may refuse to accept a certain platform, enhanced tools, unless these tools can also be other platforms supported by the use of it. In this way, developers can only use the platform shared by all the functions of the lowest level. Apple can not accept this result, so that developers simply because of our innovation and enhance the tool does not appear in our competitor's platform, but can not use these tools.

Flash is a cross-platform development tools. Adobe's goal is not to help developers for the iPhone, iPod and iPad best application development. Their goal is to help developers create cross-platform applications. Increasing the Apple platform, enhanced Adobe application has been slow. For example, although Mac OS X has been introduced to into the 10-year, Adobe CS5 two weeks before the launch of the platform when fully accepted. Adobe is the last fully accepted third made Mac OS X developers.


Conclusion

Flash for the PC era was born for the personal computer and the mouse appears. Adobe Flash is a successful business, so we can fully understand why they want to extend it to areas outside the PC. However, age is a low-power mobile device, touch screen interface and the era of open network standards, Flash has been out of date.

Proved, flash is no longer necessary for the Internet video viewing. Apple's online store for more than 200,000 applications have also proved, flash graphics and games for tens of thousands of developers, is no longer necessary.

New open standard has been created, such as HTML5 such standards will be in mobile devices and personal computers the same success. Perhaps Adobe should focus on the development of more HTML5 tool, not a criticism of Apple to abandon obsolete.

Google Android 2.2 will officially support the Flash Platform

SAN FRANCISCO April 29, according to foreign media reports, according to a Google vice president of engineering, said, Google Android 2.2 mobile operating system officially supported version of Adobe's Flash platform.

Adobe boasts of almost a year ago to run the Android platform, the first demo version of Flash software. However, Flash has not so far applied to the Android phone. Maybe Apple and Adobe Flash applications in the conflict so that we forget the support of other phones are not good for Flash. Not very good at least for now.

However, this situation will change later this year. Google Android operating system to support the main engineer Andy Rubin said the code-named "Froyo" The Android 2.2 version will fully support Flash. Be noted that, "New York Times" reported this argument is that when an interview with Rubin's interpretation of his words, not direct quotation.

Rubin did not specify which of Android phones will be upgraded to version 2.2; also did not say "Froyo" will be released when. Thus, many older models may also not support Android phones Flash. Adobe and HTC mobile phone models in the Hero's Flash cooperation more slowly, sometimes not very stable. Android 2.2 versions might provide a better experience.

Through the cooperation with Google, Adobe will own mobile features submitted to Valley singers. When Apple earlier this month, effectively blocking the Flash application in the iPhone when the operating system, Adobe said we should focus on development for the Android device.

Rubin also said Apple does not want in their mobile platform and a closed ecological system to support Flash conducted covert attack. He said that opening up does not mean what consumers actually like to take a radical approach.

The fourth generation of cottage iPhone

In the last month before Apple officially released ipad, cottage of ipad even than the official launch of the first. This time, the cottage manufacturers continue to miss this big fat; the cottage company actually has taken the lead by launching the iPhone in the cottage for four generations.

"This cottage version of the iPhone is the fourth-generation iPhone is still using the usual candy bar design.

This machine is basically a continuation of the shape when the iPhone launched. characteristics: box and with fortitude, but it seems a bit thick (she is such a design may be to popular brands!), And surprising is that only cell phones may be To improve the user experience, and also sent a support free pen (fruit powder were tears ... ...).

This cottage fourth generation iPhone, according to media reports, feel good in fact, it is suggested you do not use colored glasses to see (I see this body aluminum metal case, suddenly thought of the Legend of the comfortable handle, of course, do not know The cottage will be the fourth generation iPhone will not stripping ... ...)

Mobile Internet information security become increasingly prominent

According to the Ministry of Industry recently released the latest data, 3G subscribers exceeded 15 million in 2010. As a triple play one of the biggest business benefits from the development of mobile Internet has entered the fast lane at high speed. But with the rapid development of mobile Internet, information security has become increasingly prominent, so how to create a safe and fast mobile Internet access road, has become common to think the industry should be a new proposition. The recent information from the Ministry of Industry and Telecommunications Research Institute Information Name Address Service Management Center hosted 100 of China's first mobile site selection activities fit into the current development trend of mobile Internet, provide the industry with a foundation through the safe and efficient application of a positive guide the mobile Internet industry environment clean new ideas.

The view of the current development of mobile Internet service packages and information security, must focus on the basic mobile Internet applications, the user enters the door to start the mobile Internet, to furnish a safe, convenient, standardized mobile information access. 3G bandwidth increase, so that more of the mobile Internet with new content and applications development. Therefore, the initial application and service development, there will be some of the problems exposed, but as a mature industry environment and participate in the self-discipline, mobile Internet will be more healthy development. The name and address information as the first entrance of the mobile Internet, from the entrance to the mobile Internet to effectively contain the mobile Internet security risks. In addition, name and address information service platform is to use SMS, MMS, etc. for the mobile terminal to access the mobile Internet addressing method, different from the traditional Internet, the use of natural language, can help users easily understand the memory, while the SMS query to access the address approach can also help users save mobile website information, to prevent loss of important information, responding to user calls for convenient application of the basic needs of security for the user to create a safe and secure mobile Internet environment, and laid a solid foundation for good the bedding.

Information security problems not only affect the production release of mobile Internet and to play a positive value, but also involve the safety of state and national information industry. Therefore, the early development of the Internet to be mobile, in line with national strategies to promote the industry, fast forward, while the first well of information security. China's mobile Internet market has become the world's largest mobile phone has a number of users and has the greatest potential for development of mobile Internet market. Faced with such a huge market size and growth opportunities, and only do the basic work of mobile Internet in the development of standard industry environment, lead the way forward-looking strategic layout and associate prepared to cope with China's economic restructuring , the development of innovation-driven economy, and take better and more stable. The name and address of information services on behalf of the foundation of mobile Internet applications, is based on a service economy, services to improve people's livelihood, the service industry, social harmony purpose, fit the national strategy of economic restructuring, for the expansion of mobile Internet development ideas, to promote green, harmonious, sustainable development, the formation of mobile Internet environment has opened up a road ahead

Lenovo 01 ET70 Music Phone

O1 Lenovo handsets based on EDGE, "Lenovo ET70: iPhone with characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of Comment", then I think O1 in deliberate imitation of iPhone, the biggest disadvantage compared with the iPhone was not App Store support, can only support a small number of applications, but these applications are still mostly owned business operators or operator partners.

Basic configuration:

1. Hardware

Music Phone innovative use of a high-pass 1 GHz Snapdragon chipset platforms, 3.7-inch screen, resolution 480 × 800, which laid its powerful hardware foundation.

Supports WCDMA, WAPI, WIFI, GPS, Bluetooth. 3 million pixel camera and dual gravity sensing.

2. Communication

Music Phone communication interface to Clover logo to call, text messaging, instant messaging, e-mail the four most commonly used communications together, and the contact pattern on the center of Clover, but also the basic cell phone screen center. A unique idea, not only as a unique identifier, and a good relevant content will be bonded together, in user-friendly, while the formation of a personality.

3. Built-in Applications

Music Phone provides more than 20 applications, mostly from the terminal operators - Lenovo choose OK. Almost consider the different needs of various users.

• You can manage all common documents, such as documents, audio, video and pictures.
• Built Alipay, GPS navigation, along with flowers stock, fashion magazines, all net, the Phoenix mobile station, barley tickets, maps, microblogging, public comment, happy, 91 panda reading applications, can basically meet the needs of different users.
• Built-in the wild drag racing, chess, dynamic balance ball, mental tractors, Pearl met three other puzzle games, motorcycle racing, and role playing different demands.

4. Application scalability

Lenovo launched its own application store, has introduced the latest applications and these applications are designed for fun Phone Kaifa, and can provide the best customer experience. 

From the above function configuration, and embedded applications choices, can see that the association for the introduction of competitive, meet the best smart mobile uses needs.

Currently phone built-in rich application, but most of these applications through a good cell phone adapter, from the interface to function, makes full use of system resources to meet the needs of users.

Phone test whether the mature music key are: (1) How smart phone sales channel innovation is the use of mobile phone stores, store operators, or the use of Lenovo PCs channels mature, more or self-built flagship store in what way or ways a combination of the allocation of resources, not Lenovo, is a small test. (2) How to store as soon as possible in a rich application software, and further said that the establishment of what kind of pattern, how to attract more partners for the Phone Adapter own music software. (3) Compared to mobile phones and computers, as a short replacement cycle, but new models of mobile phones technical problems more music Phone to continue to introduce new models to meet the needs of users.

I believe these problems to officially begin in May after the release of products; Lenovo will give us an answer.

The other: Although Lenovo publicity App Store is designed for music Phone start-up. But can be foreseen that the future will have more models of Lenovo, smart phone supports different network applications that store their own, including the same TD-based Android smartphone platform. Of course, these phones might have attributed to the Lok Phone brand.

First Transparent Screen Mobile Phone Sony Ericsson X5

Sony Ericsson X5 with candy bar design mobile phone screen is clear glass, crystal side of the screen like a crystal clear, very avant-garde design. X5 keyboard with flat keyboard design, the keyboard is divided into four layers on each 3 number keys, keyboard keys in the lock button state does not display, keyboard, and keys will be issued after the light starts to display numbers. Equipped with A200 platform to support music playback and Bluetooth with track recognition.

Sony Ericsson specifically for the X5 to provide 24-hour Pureness Concierge services, including restaurants, health clubs, concerts, theater, nightclubs and many other activities and reservation services. Will also tailor-made services for users, so that Sony Ericsson X5 enjoys VIP level of service user experience.

In the first saw the Sony Ericsson X5, many friends that this is a very easy to imitate and be beyond the cottage phone models, because although a transparent screen to become different from other mobile phones advantages and bright, but also brought in carrying other functions and configuration constraints. So as long as the cottage phone manufacturers to produce the same Sony Ericsson X5 transparent screen, it is likely to be more in the strength of other functional specifications.

This conjecture was soon confirmed, Sony Ericsson X5 has a cottage already on the market, mobile phones not only very similar to a cottage phone also integrates the biggest advantage that dual card dual standby, with a super loud speaker, of course, the characteristics of ultra-low prices, is expected to Sony Ericsson mobile phones only about one-tenth of the price X5.

In addition to these benefits, this cottage transparent screen phone also has a built QQ, MSN, and Java capabilities, plus built-in Bluetooth, music player, FM radio and other basic functions meet the user's daily use.

we've Seen the X5's cottage this Sony Ericsson mobile phones, we may also Imagine that if this cottage in the market received good sales, that is not a piece of transparent screen will be ported to other popular cell phones, such a Nokia N97's cottage from another transparent screen, or designed a new design? Of course this is only one guess, in fact, most users are still concerned about the function and operation of mobile phones, the transparent screen, although a shining cool, but will bring significant operational limitations.

Facebook plans to support the application of HTML5

SAN FRANCISCO April 28, according to technology blog techcrunch reported earlier today with news that Facebook, the video format may be compatible with HTML5, which will allow Facebook's video can also play in the iPad and iPhone, and Adobe's Flash format, a heavy blow.

Facebook, a representative said, Facebook also plans like Apple, Google, and so many other companies began to support HTML5 format.

On the other hand, although the iPhone Facebook application on the critically acclaimed, but not compatible with the iPad, leading to the Facebook iPhone application on the iPad to 2 times the screen open, the run will be somewhat slow. Facebook's answer to this is: "We have no comment, this may be iPad problem."

Facebook has not landed iPad App Store, this thorny issue has many people in search Facebook application, but can only find the cottage Edition program. This is perhaps the iPhone Facebook application founder Joe Hewitt is related to Apple's App Store as offensive some of the policies, he stopped with the Apple-related applications development. Facebook While some programmers to re-employment to replace him, but so far not pick up.

Nine secret tricks to optimize windows system memory

How to optimize memory management, improve the efficient use of memory, increases speed as much as possible is our concern. Here in the Windows operating system to improve efficiency and optimize memory, memory management in several ways.

1. Change the location of the file

The main purpose is to maintain the continuity of virtual memory. Because the data is hard to read the material by the magnetic read head, the page file on disk in different regions, jumping head would naturally not conducive to efficiency. And the number of system disk file, virtual memory is certainly not continuous, so to put it the other disk. Change the page file location is: Right-click on the "My Computer", select "Performance Properties → Advanced → Settings → Advanced → Change virtual memory", select the drive you want to change the column to the location. It is noteworthy that, when the mobile good page file, to delete the original file (the system will not be automatically deleted).

2. Change the page file size

Change the page location of the file; we can make some adjustments to its size. Adjustments we need to pay attention not to the maximum, minimum page file set to the equivalent. Because normally the memory will not really "stuffed", it reached a certain level of reserves in the memory automatically when the data will be part of the temporary do not put the hard drive. Minimum page file larger proportion is low, the slower executions speed. Limit the maximum page file is sometimes a lot of programs open, memory, and the minimum page file have been "stuffed", it will automatically overflow to the maximum page file. So set the two equivalents are unreasonable. In general, the minimum page file set at a smaller, so as far as possible in memory to store more data, the higher the efficiency. Maximum page file is set too large some, to avoid a "full" situation.

3 Disable the page file

When have more than 512MB of memory, the role of the paging file will not be obvious, so we can disable it. Is: turn into the Registry Editor "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControlSession Ma-nagerMemoryManagement" under the "DisablePa-ging Executive" (disable page file) option will be the value set to "1" can be.

4. Clear the page file

In the same position there is a "ClearPageFileAtShutdown (clear page file on shutdown)", the value set to "1." By "clear" the page file was not referring to completely delete the pagefile.sys from the hard disk file, but modifications to "cleanse" and finishing, so as to better next time you start Windows XP, be prepared to use virtual memory.

5. Adjusting the size of the cache region

Can be "the primary purpose of the computer" tab to set the system using the ratio of cache (for Windows 98). If the system memories more, choose "Network Server", so the system will use more memory as cache. In the CD-ROM tab, the system can adjust how much memory as a CD-ROM disc read and write cache.

6. Monitor memory

System, no matter how much memory will always be spent. Although virtual memory, but because of the hard drive can not read and write speeds than the speed of memory, so use of memory, we must always monitor the memory usage. Windows operating system provides a system monitor that can monitor the memory usage. If only 60% of the general memory resources available, then you need to adjust their memory, or else it will seriously affect the computer speed and system performance.

7. Free memory space in time

If you find the system memory is running out, we should pay attention to free memory. The so-called free memory is to reside in the data memory is released from memory. Release the memory the most simple and effective method is to restart the computer. In addition, the procedure is not closed for the time being. Also pay attention to the clipboard data if the stored images are to take up a lot of memory space. Then just cut and paste words, you can put in the clipboard memory obliterated the original image, which will occupy a large amount of memory it freed.

8. Optimization of data memory

In Windows, the presence of data in memory, the more they take up memory resources. Therefore, the desktop shortcut icons and task bar do not set too much. If the memory resource constraints, can be considered to minimize the presence of procedures using a variety of background. Usually in the operating computer, do not open too many files or windows. Prolonged use of the computer, if not restart the computer, the data memory arrangement is possible because it is a bit confusing, leading to a decline in system performance. Then you should consider restart the computer.

9. To improve the performance of other system components

The performance of other parts of the computer memory usage also has significant influence, such as bus type, CPU, hard drives and memory, etc. If the memory is too small, and show a great amount of data, no matter how much memory is unlikely to improve their speed and efficiency of the system. If the hard disk is too slow, would severely affect the whole system work.

Google Search one 100 watt bulb power consumption of 1 hour

"Search Engine" is the word really wonderful. Engine is the engine, you want it started, obviously can not do without energy or power, this is true, the network search millions of computers need to be completed in coordination. Through networking, they are placed in the warehouse into a single computer system. As with any system, the system can not violate the laws of thermodynamics, it will consume energy.

First law of thermodynamics that the work needs to consume energy, such as promotion of small silicon electronics such work as well. The second law states that no engine is perfect. In other words, the input of some energy as heat will eventually disappear.

A successful search results page, need to have these two conditions are clear and orderly. To provide the ideal results, the server group will be too busy to mess. Thermal motion of silicon atoms stirs the air behind the computer CPU support and its heating elements. In order to drive the heat out of computer fans and air-conditioned warehouse, we need to consume more energy. No matter what search, eventually comes down to the same work process: moving atoms and then cooled. All of these steps require consumption of energy.

Let us to Google, for example, to see how much energy consumption of the whole process takes. According to U.S. IT research firm Gart-ner estimates that Google data center with nearly 1 million servers, each server consumes about 1,000 watts per hour of electricity. In other words, Google's search engine consumes 1 million kilowatts hour of electricity. The search engine produces per hour, nearly 10 million search results; the energy consumption of each search can work a 100-watt bulb for one hour!

This result, many people have not heard of. In the United States, Americans conducted 1.5 searches per day. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that data center energy consumption in the United States, the proportion accounted for 1.5%. If the Americans carried out hundreds of searches per day, this ratio will happen to? If the world's 6 billion people use search services, in turn consume much energy?

We have all heard the view: cloud computing will be the future of information architecture. But the future awaits us, may be a huge "carbon dioxide cloud."

Google Tablet PC's ten-point victory over Apple ipad

Google is currently only in the exploration and test, there is no indication that Google has decided to launch Tablet PC. "New York Times" reported on April 12, Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently at a gathering of friends talking about Google's Tablet PC product, the product will use the Android system. In addition, there were anonymous sources Density test, try to release tablet PCs on the books, magazines and other content. However, these are the only signs of it, not Google's confirmed, we can only enter on the Tablet PC market, Google, to compete with Apple ipad support. And Apple recently announced a mobile advertising platform iAd plan, which would Google has launched a serious challenge, from Apple has been involved in mobile advertising business perspective, Google must be given a lesson to Apple.

Google to reverse the current competition if the situation in financial support from the current point of view, it should first of all thank the advertising revenue, because so far, Apple has no such benefits. This helps Google to search the business relies on to discover other areas with value, especially in the mobile market, and then continued to expand.

However, whether Google can enjoy success in the Tablet PC market, is still an unknown. Tablet PC market is currently at the initial stage, and the industry's current definition of tablet PCs and there is no uniform view. And Apple has a head-start was the first to capture the market, Apple has now created for the advantage of space, Google is clearly not sit still, at this point, the Tablet PC will become the Google and Apple compete for market attention. Imagine if Google can have the right products and enough publicity, it is entirely possible IPAD confrontation with Apple. Google need to be concerned, if still does not make moves, it will greatly promote the IPAD sought after consumers, and Google have to create an ipad killer. Google want to own if you want unlimited mobile devices to close or even beat Apple's Tablet PC, then he needs to follow certain strategies to gain the upper hand, the specific methods are as follows: 

1. Providing multi-media store
If Google does not provide for his ipad killer as fully as Apple's iTunes store, then the device will be a failure. Consumers buy and use these tablet PCs just because they are computing devices, consumers want to hear music on the Tablet PC tablet, using podcasting capabilities, as well as watch movies and TV shows. If Google do not have a single store, and can provide all the elements required to meet them, then the consumer is obviously not able to accept such products. Apple's iTunes store for the consumer's entertainment experience to provide the perfect support, but in this part of Google currently does not provide any support. If Google wants to beat the competition, IPAD, then develop a similar to the iTunes store is the first step towards success. 

2. Increase investment in Android Market
As long as Google's tablet PCs to access multimedia content readily available, then the Tablet PC market for the development of very large support, Google Android Market above the need to ensure adequate application, and can be used for the Tablet PC. As Apple has proven, IPAD is a feasible product; users can download applications and extend its functionality. For example, IPAD initially did not forecast this application. But thanks to App Store App Store, users can download a free weather application. If consumers buy Google Tablet PC does not have that option, it will greatly hinder Google Tablet PC in the market competition. Google Android Market will be the best ally of tablet PCs.

3. Support for Flash

Although Apple's point of view from individuals, Flash is slowly entering the painful edge of death, but until the moment of death is still a long way to go. For now, Google should be on his Tablet PC to support Flash. Google's decision to support Flash, Apple and Adobe may be the battle will not have much effect, but Apple will not be ignored in any case the decision of Google. Most of the current network can not video and games to play in ipad above. In this issue, if Google can come out and say the network on the video and game software on his tablet PC out of the box with, then it is with Google could be a major competitive advantage.

4. Are available for each version of the 3G support

Apple currently only offers the WiFi versions of its ipad. Ipad's WiFi - and - 3G version will start at the end of April into the Apple store. Apple should be clear; it does not need to include an option to support 3G features, but may not be the best approach. Google provides the functionality to support 3G Tablets PC, but does not require users to connect to the mobile network, unless they want to do. Apple's strategy now being followed ipad 3G, which is a similar strategy with Google, than it allows all users at any time all OK to connect to 3G. Tablet PC features consumers want this option, Google needs to remember that.

5. Bundled Google Docs

IPAD supports Apple's office suite, but user need to pay for access these documents through the IPAD. Google can provide users with free Google Docs suite against Apple ipad. This will greatly help the search giant appeal to those who want quick and easy access to a simple production tool for business users to buy their products.

6. To invest heavily in mechanical touch

If you want to find out Apple ipad do a wiser thing, then it should be mastered touch mechanics. IPAD than any other device on the market place is to do better response for the touch command. If Google's Tablet PC can not provide the same or better features then it is certainly no chance to replace Apple's. The fact that, Google needs to spend a lot of effort Tablet PC to engage in Touch Technology. If it can provide a viable experience, it can be easier to replace Apple's market position.

7. Built-in turn-by-turn instructions

Built-in turn-by-turn instructions seem not Google needs to increase its Tablet PC in the most important function, but it can be distinguished as with an Apple IPAD one of the features. Currently, IPAD supports Google Maps, enable users to easily find their destinations in the direction of line. But it is not a complete experience. If Google want to distinguish their Tablet PC, create a complete GPS functionality will be a great step. Users only need access Google Maps, enter a destination, and get all the turn-by-turn instructions (including voice commands), so they will not add additional cost. Tablet PC should be the mobile companion, why they are not GPS compatible? This should be the need for improvement.

8. The connection is everything

IPAD's an obvious omission is its lack of USB interfaces. Apple has said it will bypass the accessories provided, which will allow users to connect USB devices to the IPAD, but some things done too little, too late. This gives Google the best chance left, if Google in its tablet computer to provide at least one USB port, which will provide heavy defeat ipad weight. At the same time, this will avoid the need for individual consumers to purchase an additional USB connection tools. Connection may be discouraging consumers to buy and then switch to Google ipad Tablet PC one of the most important reason.

9. The print will be an essential feature

Another major drawback IPAD is that it does not support printing. Therefore, if the user typed a file or receive from friends or colleagues the importance of e-mail, need to print out, and then it will become difficult. If Google is added to its Tablet PC printing, it can once again appeal to those who need to print. Have the ability to appeal to consumers should be printed clearly recognized, IPAD is only a laptop computer terminal to terminal replacement, not a real device can replace the traditional laptop. Google Print function can be a miracle tablet.

10. To provide multi-mission support

Prior to Apple's iPhone OS 4.0 operating system, multi-mission support for the Tablet PC for Google would be a good complement. But now, Steve Jobs has made it clear that multi-task in 2010 will soon be applied to the IPAD in years, so for Google Tablet PC will be a great opportunity, this was also the Google request for Tablet PC market. If Apple can at the same time provide third-party applications to run more, but Google's Tablet PC does not, then Google's very difficult to go beyond a flat device ipad. The only way is to beat Apple on almost every front the best features. If Google multitasking capabilities for achieving almost no guarantee, then Google will be the equipment at a disadvantage in the competition.
