Lenovo took advantage of CES (Consumer Electronics Show) this week to show the first tablets, diving and a rapidly growing market currently led by Apple iPad Galaxy Tab tablets and Samsung.

Executives Lenovo have advanced to be two of tablets that the company will present in CES. One of them could be LePad, As announced by the company and will be based on the Android operating system. Both are aimed primarily at the consumer segment; although the company plans to release include the possibility of ThinkPad tablet for business users.

Lenovo has been working on the design of tablets since last year but still has no product of its kind in the tender. While last year, also at CES, introduced IdeaPad U1, A laptop that included a detachable touch screen that could be used as a tablet. It initially planned to launch Lenovo IdeaPad U1 market in the second half of 2010, but finally the release was postponed.

According to data from market research firm Gartner, sales of tablets are growing at spectacular rates. The consultancy expects that in 2011 sold 54.8 million units.

LePad be called and will use the Android operating system. Shortly after launching its own handheld device to compete head to head with Apple iPhone, Lenovo has put all its machinery in motion to prepare their alternative to the iPad. The Asian company is planning to launch its own tablet PC later this year.

The device is known as LePad and use the Android mobile operating system. So at least it is clear from recent comments made by Liu Jun, senior vice president and group president of consumer business Lenovo and it have already been confirmed by the company.

This product development comes shortly after the president of Lenovo said early this month that the CEO Apple Steve Jobs was not focusing on the Chinese market. “If Apple devotes the same effort to Chinese consumers, Lenovo would have problems,” said Liu Chuanzhi the Financial Times.

This year, Lenovo has begun selling its own smartphone, the LePhone. The company said that in the past, Lenovo strategy was “winning” China before attempting to sell the phone outside their borders. Lenovo also believe that the hardware and services related to the mobile Internet could amount to between 10 and 20 percent of the company’s business over the next five years.

Other Chinese companies have also developed their own tablets, some have even dared to market iPad imitation. However, Lenovo would be one of the largest companies focusing on the development of its own device. “Lenovo has a strong brand name is known among local buyers. That is something that is clearly in its favor, “said Bryan Ma, associate vice president for IDC Asia Pacific.

From IDC predicts that in 2011, sales of multimedia tablets reach one million units to china markets and Taiwan together. In 2014, that number will grow to 4 million units. But what remains to be seen is how to develop the market for tablets in China. “There are still several issues on which applications are to be used in these tablets or what interest rate will attract these products,” explained from IDC.

With respect to Apple, the company will start selling in Hong Kong this week, but still must communicate its plans to sell the iPad in China.

Well, they have been quick to seek a replacement for the Xserve. Just few hours after announcing permanent withdrawal of the Xserve, Apple has released a new configuration of its Mac Pro Server call.

12-Core Processor

The characteristics of Mac Pro Server consists of an Intel quad-core processor at 2.8 GHz, 8 GB memory RAM, Two 1 TB hard drives and a license to Mac OS X Server, at a price of $ 2999. In addition, the computer can be improved to reach a chip “Westmere” dual six-core (12-core) Intel, 32 GB RAMAn additional Superdrive drive, card RAID and fiber optics and Apple Xsan solution for managing storage units.

With this, Apple has renamed its best Mac Pro as if it were a server and ended with the traditional concept, which is usually a machine whose dimensions allow it to fit in a “rack” of other servers in places like a data center, for example. From now on, for the boys from Cupertino, we can choose between a Mac Mini Server to control a relatively small network of computers or the Mac Pro Server for large, complex tasks.

Apple iPad has conquered the world since its introduction in January with millions of units sold while giving a boost to a technology sector still faces a lawsuit uneven.

Providers of the popular iPad Apple is preparing for a new round of production in the first quarter of 2011, Sources said on Friday, and one of them said the Ipad Tablet PC will be released with cameras in the front and rear.

The chip designer Wintek touch screen, a provider of simple battery and AVY Precision Technology, a manufacturer of covered electronic products are among the suppliers for the next round of IPAD, Said four people familiar with the situation.

Two of them were able to confirm only that in the first quarter were preparing a new round of production of components supplied for the original iPad, while two said that production was for a new iPad.

One of them said the modified model would have front and rear camera, While the other indicated that the new model is thinner, lighter and better screen resolution.

The camera module manufacturers Genius Electronic Optical and Largan Precision were starting new supply agreements with Apple, two sources said, but none could confirm which products.

“Investing in stocks related to Ipad Apple is going to be an important issue for much of next year”Said Bevan Yeh, fund manager at Prudential Securities Investment Trust.

“Apple is still the main driver of most technology products, and this will help boost the profits of their suppliers beyond 2011,” he said.
IPad is expected to represent approximately 70 percent of the 60 million touch-screen computers to be released in 2011, Sinopac Securities broker said in a note.

The introduction of an iPad improved in the first half of 2011 would be in line with company practice, which applies small changes to their products about once a year. The original iPad was launched on 27 January this year.

None of the people familiar with the supply chain declined to be named because they were not authorized to speak to the media on this issue and Apple’s obsession with privacy.

Markets and analysts expect Apple this morning, Monday, the fourth generation iPhone mobile phone, but with many details already known and the full field of competitors giant technology will strive to surprise.

Apple begins on Monday’s Worldwide Developers Conference, WWDC, to be held in San Francisco until 11 June.

As usual, the company has developed what ads will be made during the conference, but Apple has already benefited from the latest editions of the event to showcase the iPhone 3G, in June 2008 - and a year later iPhone3GS, so it is expected that the same will happen this year.

In addition, Wal-Mart announced last week that would reduce the price of the 16GB 3G iPhone up to U.S. $ 97, compared with $ 198 it costs now, which is interpreted as an attempt to get rid of stock before the arrival of a new model.

Steve Jobs himself, CEO and co -founder of Apple, open the WWDC on Monday with a speech, when he quite possibly is this the new phone.

But if the product is known, nor is expecting big news about the details and Jobs will have to make enough to surprise the markets.

Unless changes are made in the fourth generation revolutionaries, iPhone is a mobile phone well known that four years on the market and it is already in the pockets of millions of people around the world.

Experts expect the fourth version incorporates some new features like front camera - enabling services such as Skype video conferencing, or more capacity and battery life, there are welcome developments but does not involve any radical change in the unit.

Apple will also announce, possibly introducing multifunctional in the phone to simultaneous tasks, something that has been demanded by many users.

The possible appearance of phone and internet also known alleged have circulated photos of the device after an Apple employee allegedly forgot a prototype in a bar in Silicon Valley and it would end up in the hands of the press.

The sensation caused by the arrival of the first iPhone also can not repeated. In 2007, Apple revolutionized the industry and set the tone for the area of smart phones but since then, the company faces an ever-increasing competition, especially from phones with Google Android software.

Some analysts have suggested that Jobs might have anyway an ace up its sleeve in the form of access service network music.

In late 2009, Apple acquired the firm Lala.com, which allowed users to listen to music online from any phone or computer if they had previously purchased and downloaded the song on your computer.

Lala.com was working on an application for the iPhone but Apple canceled the services of the company following the acquisition and is believed to be working with her to somehow merge its technology with that of iTunes, Apple’s online store.

The IPAD Apple Inc. has promoted a new generation of magazines, one that allows you to read an ever-changing mix of articles, photos and videos chosen by friends, relatives and other people within your social circle online.

This new twist in the online edition was created by Flipboard by a free application for the IPAD that debuted on Wednesday.

Flipboard advantage of the hundreds of millions of links to pages that are published each day in two of the world’s most popular portals to share information and pictures: Facebook and Twitter.

All links are automatically converted to a format of “social journal” that is customized by anyone Flipboard allowed to recover the material in the accounts that a user is already on Facebook and Twitter.

Instead of having to click through endless links, users can browse Flipboard digital pages with all text and images, all shown at once on the popular Apple tablet computer type.

The content of the online magazine, which will also be advertising, change as often as do the links inside Flipboard to be published in a user account on Facebook and Twitter.

Flipboard, based in Palo Alto, California, also plans to refine its technology to add links from other popular social tools such as photo site Flickr and LinkedIn professional networking port.

The Jailbreak comes from 2 words in English Jail that means jail Break that means break, in simple words Jailbreak means escape from prison, and the world iPhone, iPod e iPad the Jailbreak is the process that allows us to access all files and folders on the iPhone or iPod Touch. With this access we can install third party applications change those which are and other things more.

Jailbreak: This concept refers to a process which allows access to all parts of the iPhone without any limit imposed by Apple, doing the jailbreak can change the look of the iPhone, not allowed to install applications or downloaded free of Internet and put as many modifications as we can think or as it is from and cydia or icy.

Release: This concept refers to the removal of the blockade imposed by Apple and a phone company (Telcel, Movistar or there where you are) with a terminal that can prevent use in another company other than that agreed. That is, X being the iPhone company can modify the iPhone to use with any other.

How the iPhone is released, because first you have to do the jailbreak and then install a program (Ultrasn0w) Using the Cydia program that will release the iPhone, but when we do not release Jailbreak TERMINAL, just let us do more things that Apple wants.

The security hole has been found, IOS is a perfect work area for hackers. After the very easy method to jailbreak, another technique just as easy to unlock your phone, allowing telephone companies to change without a new phone.

The process to release Apple Mobile only works with those who have been through a jailbreak. But do not mind, because applying the two processes together is a matter minutes. And explain how the former does. Once completed the first step to unlock your phone, go into Cydia, the store parallel to App Store, download and run the program Ultrasn0w. Suitable for the iPhone 3 models, iPhone 3G and iPhone 4.

The following video contains little more than a minute how to complete the jailbreak process and release the phone developed by the iPhone Dev-Team:

Difference between jailbreak and unlock

The concepts of “jailbreak” and “release” are often confused but have different meanings. A phone with jailbreak allows its user to run applications from any development companies that has not received approval from Apple.

While a freed phone allows the user to use phone with an operator different from that sold it. For example, who buy an iPhone 4 may only be used to Movistar, theoretically, with the company throughout his life, because it is locked to only work with your card. However, the user can change companies and seek better deals, even operators that do not offer this model.

Again, remember that Apple warns unlocked phones or have gone through jailbreak lose the warranty. And all these processes may disappear from the iPhone’s memory and reset simply giving back to the factory settings.
