Google Cairman Eric Schmidt

Today Schmidt at the LeWeb meeting in Paris said: "Android is now ahead of the iPhone." After Schmidt published the speech, that room is filled with the iPhone, iPad and Mac. Having heard Schmidt's remark, the audience suddenly fell into silent for a moment. Maybe they doubt on Schmidt's speech.
Schmidt then gives his own criteria:" huge volume, high performance Android 4.0, lower price, as well as many mobile phone manufacturers’ support."

Industry insiders said, in the intelligent mobile phone market, Android is developing rapidly. But compared with Apple iOS, the obvious disadvantage is Android has not become the preferred platform for developers. Notebook application developer Evernote today only released a new application Hello for iPhone.

Social News reader Flipboard has already launched iPhone application. Flipboard CEO Mike McCue said:" We have been concerned about the iPhone. As with the Android version, we are still waiting."

Schmidt believed that, with the Android 4.0 and huge volume, Android will win. Schmidt said: "in the end, application developers will be affected by the volume, and Google's open strategy will promote the shipment growth. So many manufacturers promote Android mobile phones to the world, whether they like it or not, people will support this platform, even considering it as the preferred platform."

Tips on iOS AssistiveTouch

As an old Apple fan, I always plan to share my experience on iOS tips. Every time I try to conclude tips on iOS, there will be a big upgrade of iOS and many features are changing after upgrade. Today I will introduce the AssistiveTouch on iOS to you and hope you like it.

Actually, iOS provides assistivetouch long time ago, but as the old version of it is really difficult to use and not many iOS users know it very well. However, after the new iOS release, it also brings us a brand new AssistiveTouch to users. It becomes a perfect instead of the Home button and makes the Home button has a long life. Today I will introduce you how to use the AssistiveTouch

It is first introduced into iOS as an assistant for people with disabilities. Nowadays, after the update it becomes an important role to protect the Home button and it makes some operation much easier.

Firstly, we need to find how to set the AssistiveTouch. Go to "Settings" and enter "General" and find "AssistiveTouch" option. Open it and you will find a round picture, yeah right, it is the "AssistiveTouch". Click the icon and you will find that it includes 4 parts. Each part represents the functions corresponding. It is really easy to understand.

The next part is "Gesture", click "Gestures" and you will see 2, 3, 4, 5 four different gestures. Those gestures represent many troublesome operations. For example, if you have an iPad 2 and you need to use 4 fingers slide from down to up to come to the Task Manager Menu. But if you click AssistiveTouch's 4 and you just need one finger to finish the operation. Just imagine that if you are really busy or it is really cold outside, use one finger is much better to use four.

AssistiveTouch's last important function is "Favorites". To use this function you need to create a gesture and you can use it. In the AssistiveTouch interface, you will find the "Create new Gesture" option. Click it and you can create your own gestures easily. The gestures you created will be found in the "Favorite" option. For example, you have set a gesture for the game "Fruit Ninja". You can easily open the game without find it on your iPad 2 from different apps.

After you set your own gestures you can easily find and open any files and apps. It is really shorten our operation. There is a lot of such features in iOS 5 and AssistiveTouch is only one of them. Hope you also share you own tips on how to easily enjoy our iOS devices and share them with me.

Acer and Lenovo will release quad-core Tegra 3 tablets early next year

Rumors have surfaced that Acer and Lenovo are lining up Android 4.0(Ice Cream Sandwich) tablets with NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra 3 GPU for launch in the first quarter of 2012. The companies haven’t specified what models they’re going to launch, while the devices are designed to compete with Asus's forth coming Eee Pad Transformer Prime, a hybrid tablet that also packs a Tegra 3 processor. Digitimes suggested that Acer’s Iconia Tabs, the upcoming Lenovo tablet, and a future Samsung Galaxy Tab would all be unveiled at CES or Mobile World Congress next year.

Tablet and Smartphone zealots have been salivating over the quad-core ARM Cortex A9 Tegra 3 for some time, and the processor is at the tipping point for appearance in real, purchasable devices. The Transformer Prime's Tegra 3 is clocked at 1.3GHz, though it is shipping as Android 4-capable, there's a window for Acer or Lenovo to slip in as the first tablet to market with that OS.

The new quad-core tablets should be much more powerful than their dual-core predecessors, while the latest generation may not much better against Apple’s upcoming iPad 3, sources say, as they potentially wouldn’t be “fundamentally different than their predecessors and would be trading mostly on their speed”. The sources also speculate that “since non-Apple players’ machines have no advantage to compete against Amazon or Apple’s tablet PC devices, non-Apple players will together account for only 10-15% of the total tablet PC market.” That is to say, the iPad is indeed still king.

It is reported that you'll be able to snag a nifty Acer and Lenovo’s Tablet with a quad-core GPU for between $459 and $599 in 2012. Since neither Acer nor Lenovo have a direct advantage over Apple or Amazon's tablet devices, the mathematical formulas prove that owning a reasonably priced tablet with a quad-core GPU does make you the coolest kid on the block. This would put them essentially in direct competition with the iPad.
