GentryMedia, Apps4Tablets 2011-05-12T19:26:16+00:00 {title_permalink=android/index} {title_permalink=android/index}#When:22:53:10Z Here’s a question for you—when you view the contents of a newspaper on your Android tablet, are you reading the paper or using a tablet?  If you feel like the question is academic, you’re probably not in the publishing business.  Publishers are wrestling with this existential stuff around the clock, for reasons that are, well, central to their existence.  GentryMedia, Apps4Tablets 2011-03-22T22:53:10+00:00 {title_permalink=apple/index} {title_permalink=apple/index}#When:20:49:35Z We are attempting to create our first post ever using the iPad.  We use a Modified version of Expression Engine CMS and a new app came out called iExpression.  As a test, we posting from a borrowed iPad 2 and are really raving over Noteshelf.  We plan to have a full review shortly of both Noteshelf and iExpression.  Stay tuned GentryMedia, Apps4Phones, Apps4Tablets, Mac Coalition, OS, Apple, Productivity, Apple Productivity 2011-03-17T20:49:35+00:00 {title_permalink=android/index} {title_permalink=android/index}#When:17:08:47Z According to BGR.com, HTC is expecting their upcoming Flyer tablet to fly off the shelves. (pun intended). The 7-inch screen, 1.5GHz processorm 1GB of RAM and 2 camera unit has my attention.  Not even so much for all of that, but because there is a stylus.  What!?  A stylus?  Not as a replacement for touch and multi-touch, but in addition to.  You see, HTC seems to understand that some of us like to pull out a pen and write down a phone number, or jot a note.  That has my attention. GentryMedia, Apps4Tablets 2011-03-14T17:08:47+00:00 {title_permalink=apple/index} {title_permalink=apple/index}#When:16:40:17Z If you ordered the iPad 2 online when it was first available in the wee hours of Friday last week, you may have learned your unit is shipping.  Apparently some WiFi and Verizon iPad 2 units have started the process.  In a move unusual for Apple, online orders seem to have taken a back seat to in store purchases. In the past, you had the ability to pre-order products from Apple.  Usually the delivery day coordinated with the in-store on sale date.  Meaning smart online customers received their products the ame date without the hassles of line waiting.  Not so this time around.  In fact, we are informed the earliest online orders will hit will be Wed or Thursday this week.  What’s worse, if you didn’t set your alarm Friday morning to place your order, online orders have been getting pushed back from 2-3 weeks, to 3-4 weeks. All this extra time waiting means that when you get your iPad 2 you’ll now be able to Jailbreak it according to Engadget.  Yup, that didn’t take long did it.

While there is no reason to sell Apple stock just yet, it is interesting how quickly a competitor has come along and taking 20% of Apple’s market share. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Media Tablet and eReader Tracker, 10.1 million media tablets were shipped in the fourth quarter of 2010 (4Q10) - more than double the 4.5 million shipped in the third quarter. Apple’s share came down from 93% in 3Q10 to 73% in 4Q10, but still reflected Apple’s strong leadership position. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab was the primary competitor in the holiday season, beating other players to market and capturing more than 17% share, while a number of smaller regional players also participated.

Of particular interest to us are the iMovie and GarageBand videos which highlight the new processors strengths as well as the software’s prowess.  While certainly not ready to replace Final Cut Studio, it’s pretty darned cool.  Editing iMovie files on an iPhone is painful given the size constraints.  Not so with the iPad 2 of course.  Can’t wait to get my hands on this. iPad 2 Tours GentryMedia, Apps4Phones, Apps4Tablets, CreativePro Coalition, Mac Coalition, Hardware, OS, Apple 2011-03-10T20:48:28+00:00 {title_permalink=blackberry/index} {title_permalink=blackberry/index}#When:20:42:13Z No surprises here at all.  Just good to know things are progressing nicely towards launch.
