Google Looking For Redemption With Google Glass For Enterprise

I guess the Science Fiction-esque future that Google Glass suggested in its ads is a little bit further ahead of us than Google realized. Google Glasses were all but a huge consumer flop. The general public just wasn't ready for goofy-looking, augmented reality glasses.

But that doesn't mean this product is dead, at least not yet. According to a recent FCC filing discovery, 9to5Google revealed the next version of Google Glass. This edition will be geared towards applications that are used in the enterprise space, leaving out the novelty consumer-oriented functions that were featured in the first "Explorer Edition".

The "Enterprise Edition" Google Glass is said to sport a larger prism display for a better augmented experience. This serves as an attempt to minimize eye strain many early glass users complained about.

Additionally the Enterprise Edition will drop the Texas Instruments processor for an Intel Atom processor which will be faster and have better battery life than existing Android Wear smartwatches.

While the Explorer Edition often overheated or ran out of batteries, Enterprise Edition promises to run cooler, even with the additional external battery pack Google is experimenting with.

The last thing cited in the report was a super-fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi with dual-band support for 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless channels, meaning even faster video streaming.

Google's decision to shift their Glass strategy towards enterprise customers is a huge, but intelligent shift. Yes, Google, assisting with specialized medical, law enforcement, or even business applications seems more important than letting consumers play virtual reality games.

Apple's all new 12" MacBook and a higher-res sixth-gen iPad for 2014

Apple has a newly designed 12-inch MacBook featuring a high-resolution display, and a new 9.7-inch sixth-generation iPad with an even higher pixel count than the most current Retina display. Both are to be released next year according to knowledgeable insider Ming-Chi Kuo.

Kuo, who is an an analyst working for KGI Securities, has said that Apple has a ton of major new products in the works for 2014. The biggest one being the new 12-inch MacBook which will feature what he said is an "ultra-slim clamshell form factor."

He says this new and improved MacBook will bring the best of both worlds from both the portability of the 11-inch MacBook Air and the greater productivity brought by the 13-inch model. The display is said to be up to par with Apple's high-resolution MacBook Pro Retina display.

Kuo says that the newest MacBook being worked on will "redefine laptop computing once again following the milestone created by the MacBook Air."

Despite all the rumors that Apple will probably introduce a notebook powered by its custom A-series chips like the ones found in the iPhone and iPad, Kuo made it clear that he does not expect that the new 12-inch MacBook will run on an A-series chip. Instead, he thinks that the new MacBook will feature a traditional Intel CPU.

He has also revealed that Apple is currently working on a new sixth-generation iPad that will feature a higher pixel-per-inch count than the current 9.7-inch iPad with Retina display. Going against the recent rumors yet again, he doesn't expect Apple to launch a 12-inch iPad next year.

The sixth-generation iPad is expected to launch in late 2014, and will cram in as much as 40 percent more pixels than the current iPad's Retina display.

Inside the Apple supply chain, he is expecting the company Parade Technology to benefit from an large amount of embedded DisplayPort technology in the 2014 lineup. Kuo said eDP, which is a standardized display interface that makes graphics processors interface with display panels, will more than likely play a large role in the company's products next year.

"We think Parade will defend its status as Apple's sole eDP provider going into 2014, making it one of the top stories in the Apple supply chain," Kuo wrote in a research note.

Kuo has quite the track record of accurately revealing Apple's future plans. He was the first person to reveal that Apple would retire its 17-inch MacBook Pro. He also correctly forecast Apple's fall 2012 product lineup in its entirety, and his predictions for Apple's 2013 launch schedule made in January have thus far proven 100 percent correct.

Hi Tech Gadgets Developments: How the iPad and Android Made Tablets Sexy: msi android tablet

In 2009, it was predicted that 2010 will be the year of the tablet just like what Netbooks did some years earlier. Indeed it was with the explosive popularity of Apple's iPad and a rush of Android tablet PCs out in the market. Now, experts are predicting that 2011 is still the year of the tablet as iPads sales are still on a roll while other big names in the mobile device and PC manufacture market are extending their development efforts in the tablet PC arena.

The following provides a brief overview of how tablet PCs entered the personal and mobile computing arena and how the iPad and Android turned tablets from geeky to sleek and sexy and literally catapulted these devices into the top of the hi tech gadgets market and into people's hands.

A Brief History of the Tablet PC

Some people may not know it, but tablet PCs did not start with the iPad but actually came into existence way back in 1989 in the form of the GripPAD tablet. This early version was still running on DOS and was using an inductive pen as an input device. It basically has the same size as an iPad but weighs over 10 lbs.

The Palm Pilot is another early version but this time it weighs only 160 grams or 5.6 ounces and already features a touchpad but requires a stylus or a sharp point for input. From these two early versions of the tablets that later versions that people enjoy now eventually emerged. However, there were several user issues with these early versions as these gadgets were only functioning satisfactory in one area of mobile computing but failed miserably in others. This did not work well with the public.

The emergence of the iPad however changed the publics' perception of the tablet device and reinvigorated the tablet PC market and changed the way people communicate with each other and with the world. Android tablets have taken this development even one step further by offering features and functionalities that compensated for what iPads lack. These tablets catered to the growing need of people for mobile computing applications: internet access, video on demand, social networks, instant messages, video chat, and email in a sleek but very convenient package - everything they ever need in a mobile computing device.

iPads and Android Tablet Devices in the Market

Apple's iPad dominated the tablet market when it was launched, accounting for over 19.5 million tablets sold in the year 2010. Several OEM manufacturers wanted a piece of the tablet pie and introduced their own versions of the tablet, majority of which make use of the Android operating system. Some of these emerging marquee products include:

*Fusion Garage JooJoo
*Archos Tablet
*Dell Streak
*Augen GenTouch78 Android Tablet

*Best Buy Rocketfish

*Nokia Tablet
*OpenPeak OpenTablet7

The popularity of tablets exploded across the globe much further with the entry of Chinese wholesale brands and manufacturers presenting their own versions of the iPad but instead of using an Apple OS, these tablets make use of the Android operating system.

One of the more prominent samples that created quite a buzz in the tablet market is the P88 from the Shenzhen Great Loong Brother Industrial Co. which looks like an iPad clone except for the USB ports that iPads lack. The manufacturers of the P88 claimed that their device was released three months before Apple's iPad was released and accused Apple of copying its multi-touch tablet design. Aside from the P88, other Android-based Chinese tablets emerged in the market and are slowly making their way across the globe through various online stores and dropship resellers. Some of these Chinese tablets include:

*Epad Tablet PC
*Eken M005 Tablet PC
