Speculation surrounding the Apple iPad 2 has been rife over the last couple of weeks, Apple has been filing all sorts of patents. First there was the carbon fibre back, then the slide out keyboard, various indicators of dual cameras and a spate of silicone cases to support speculation of new USB and SD ports.

IPad is a new revolutionary device released by Apple and it’s a mix of the iPhone to Apple, Apple iTouch, and a full notebook or a laptop. Using the touch screen you can use the Internet for research applications along with the audio and video features by this new Apple iPad device. In recent years Tablet PC Apple was presented at the press conference for Apple, where many people have seen the recent outbreak of Apple.

By Michael Heller As I wrote before, I find it hard to believe that Google ever expected or planned for the Nexus One to be a commercial success. The Nexus One was the pinnacle of a phone designed and distributed for the tech elite, early adopters and other geeks. No one else would be willing to brave buying a phone sight unseen from a web store. No one else would be likely to do the research needed to understand the benefits of the stock Android experience. No one else would be likely to look past the fairly utilitarian UI after seeing the far prettier options like the Sense UI from HTC. Now, Google is distributing the Nexus S to the masses via Best Buy and Carphone Warehouse, but, as far as I see, it’s still a geek-only device.

As a Samsung Galaxy S smartphone owner (specifically, the T-Mobile Vibrant S), I was eager to get my hands on a Galaxy Tab from Verizon Wireless and smudge up the 7-inch touchscreen a bit. To be fair, I had reservations about the Tab from the first time I heard it was coming. My Galaxy S phone, although a nice piece of hardware, has lacked in the software department. Nearly five months later, I'm (and the rest of the United States) is still awaiting an Android 2.2 update promised numerous times, and the Samsung TouchWiz UI its a bit cumbersome and prone to lag.

Developers supporting the various mobile operating systems on the market are crucial to their success. For instance, without developers, Apple’s App Store would never have gotten as popular as it is today as there would be no Doodle Jump and certainly no Angry Birds. Luckily, there are a whole slew of dedicated developers producing software for iOS and Google’s Android is no different.

It’s long been believed that the next iteration of Android – after the newly-launched Gingerbread 2.3 - would be Android 3.0. Honeycomb is to change the way people see and use Android, if not period then for a better tablet experience. From what we’ve seen so far in leaks and cameo appearances, Honeycomb definitely looks like enough of a jump to consider it more than just another incremental release.

If you live in Canada and happen to own the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant smartphone, hopefully you didn?t already update it to Android 2.2 because many people are reporting issues with upgrading. In fact, the issues are so prevalent that Samsung has temporarily pulled all future Android 2.2 updates to the Canadian Vibrant until the issue can be further examined.

Android 2.3 source code goes up for developers As promised with the launch of the Nexus S, Google's Open Source Project on Friday posted the source code for Android 2.3. The move both lets developers modify the base OS but also gives the go-ahead to companies making devices without the Google blessing needed for Android Market or certain official apps.

E Fun just announced the addition of a new tablet under its Nextbook brand, the Next3. It uses an 8.4-inch touchscreen and runs on Android 2.1. The tablet can access YouTube, browse the web and the Borders eBook store through Wi-Fi. Users can also download third-party apps, although it's not explicit whether or not it supports Android Market. E Fun builds in 2GB of memory with an SD card slot. Speakers are built-in, and the company preloads 25 e-books to get users started. The Nextbook Next3 ships this week, priced at $230, and includes a protective pouch with a magnetic flap.
