UPDATE - HP SLATE

Hi
I haven't been posting because I have been ridiculously busy but I should start regularly again soon. Ok. A while ago there were rumors about the HP slate, saying due to unforeseen problems with Windows 7, the slate project has been permanently cancelled. I didn't post on this at the time because I was in so much denial I just could not accept it. Then more news came out saying HP had bought Palm, a company we do not hear much of here in the land of Aus. If you didn't know they make phones, and along with those phones, mobile operating systems. This has caused much questioning over whether the HP slate will, a, ever be released, and b, if it is released, will it run a full version of Windows 7 or a mystical new mobile OS.

I will give my opinion on both of those matters. A - Will the HP slate ever be released. I think it most definitely will be in some from or another. They have so much support from all the Apple haters out there, they would sell millions.

B- Will it run a full version of Windows 7. I'm not too sure about this one. I think it will still run at leased a version of Windows 7. Maybe a highly edited edition of it. I think that is maybe where the mobile OS company comes in. Seriously though. I have no idea. And about the mobile OS company, I think they bought that just to get a step up into the mobile business.

I just thought since you guys seemed to like my previous HP Slate post, I would update you.
I will leave you on an unrelated note. This video is just plain out awesome:)

iPhone OS 4.0 - Part 2

So my take on iAds, changes to the photo app and all the other small changes in iPhone 4.0.

Firstly iAds. I do not have much to say. They look really cool. If you haven't seen them go HERE. Basically they are just a very advanced, interactive form of advertisement that i'm sure apple will charge a HUGE amount of money for and people will pay because the iPhone is more popular than Oxygen. They look sorta fun actually I think. Oh well, only time will tell.

NEXT other things. Changes to the photo app. FIrstly there is now facial recognition and events as well as a way to view geo tags on the phone(knows using the GPS the location of where the photo was taken). Also there is FINALLY a rotate button as well as albums, zoom ( FINALLY as well) and focus for the video camera. Before, you could focus in the video camera but only before you started recording so I presume this will be focusing while recording. Most of this stuff has been available on other phones for years so im very happy apple has finally got it, and in the classic apple manner, it looks kuch better than on any other previous phone.

Finally, other updates include a better mail system (I didn't see any thing wrong with the old one but oh well), bluetooth keyboard connectivity (means you could type on a wireless keyboard straight into your iPhone and some tweaks to the iPod functionality.

LASTLY:) the greatest feature ever to have existed is coming to the iPhone. If this had never been invented, i'm positive the world would be total chaos. YES I am talking about the technical wonder that is spell check.

And on that, to reference top gear, bombshell, I leave you
