India : Tablet PC Worth U.S. $35

If Nicholas Negroponte popular with the OLPC program (One Laptop per Child) by offering a laptop costing U.S. $ 100 then the country of India was not to be outdone by their Tablet PC products that cost just U.S. $ 35. How could it be as cheap as this?

iPad could be one of the gadget "hottest" current which does offer a different experience in accessing digital content in mobile even though its price is still relatively expensive. Similar technologies and products which have a more complete feature comes via a Tablet PC that actually has a well attended despite the lack of public acclaim.

Average of the two products are not exactly cheap (USD 4 million or more) so that many potential customers are delaying buying it. Later there similar technology gadgets and production from China are offered at a price much cheaper even though its quality is still questionable.

But step by India this time is totally different where they present a gadget that resembles the iPad or a Tablet PC with incredible affordable price, only U.S. $ 35. If converted to the amount of about USD 300-thousand, the price of fee that is unreasonable.


AllGo Embedded Sysems producing Tablet PC is mentioned that the cost of these products include processor ARM9 U.S. $ 5, 2GB memory of U.S. $ 3, WiFi b / g U.S. $ 4, a battery of U.S. $ 5, touch screen 800x480 pixels U.S. $ 15, and other components of U.S. $ 3.

HRD Minister of India, Shri Kapil Sibal, is proud to introduce the Tablet PC production in India is the second semester of this year and also held a subsidy program so that students in India can buy this device at a price of U.S. $ 20 only. This step is aimed at disseminating knowledge on information technology students.

Judging from the specs offered themselves clearly spelled Tablet PC is very limited. After all, nearly 8500 such colleges during initial launch order.

Piano's Silhouette MP3 player Model

So, what can you do in those days to make a simple MP3 player a little more interesting? Of course almost any design variations that may have been tried. Well, not quite. Jia Peng designers have a new level of interaction between players by putting a roll-out, 48-key keyboard in his book Piano Silhouette proposed the concept of MP3 players.

Technology merger of two elements of this music is predicted to explode in the music world, because the concepts are new and menarik.Hal this could be a very niche market, but there are some beginner pianist with a piano keyboard easy to carry around a neat portable deep inside is There MP3 player because it will not have it? Of course, the roll-out of the plastic is soft piano keyboard has been around for a while now, but still the piece seriously entertaining and portable learning aid for wannabe Pete Johnson, Oscar Peterson and Maria Yudina be.

The inclusion of such a piano in a 4.72 x 1.77 MP3 Player technologies are not just some ivory-tickling user tactile interactions in the privacy of their own earphones, but also allows them to enjoy even inspire a few songs and maybe even a piano lesson audio. His approach has certainly played a designer is not much detail about things like memory and support for file formats, but there are bright LCD screen, control and selection of song playback, the audio jack on one end and a mini-USB-on the other side.

Personally, I've always wanted to learn piano, so I'd be interested in giving this a whirl. Its rather large dimensions, however, would make it a touch less portable than, say, an iPod Nano.

HTML5 Amazing

HTML5 use the later version of the markup language for creating Web pages, interest in the video functionality to the browser without plug-ins show drew Such as Flash. But the lesser known features in the final analysis, a much greater impact web experience for users.

Experts say that could make web pages HTML5 behind the scenes - as the communication network and storage into the browser - to load faster (especially work seamlessly with the slow mobile devices), applications for the Web, and old browser enables web pages easier to read.

Many Web sites and desktop applications to act - now based office suite, web tools and photo editing, for example. But many of the complex features of this site is based on the links between the various developers of Web technologies HTML, JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) - Compounds that do not always work perfectly. Consequently, these areas may be lazy, it works differently from browser to browser, and may be vulnerable to security holes.

Bruce Lawson, who evangelized on open Web standards, Opera Software, said that lead to websites of the functions of the Web was originally not designed for the needs of development for complex programming and can easily introduce errors of applications can be executed.

The team working on HTML5, Lawson said he was resigned to make the specification more tolerant than their predecessors, so that elderly or poorly coded web pages work better in HTML5 enabled browser. I also wanted to extend the requirements to support current trends, as Rich Internet Applications. "The basis of HTML5 is relentlessly realistic," he says. "It 's designed to reflect what people actually do."

Experts point out a feature called Web Sockets offer an example of HTML5 enhancements. Sockets Web site with a programming interface (API), which opens a serial connection between one side and a server for the information passed between them in real time. Normally the browser application when you want to upgrade.

The effect of making the web is like going from an interview by e-mail to instant messaging each other, "said Ben Galbraith, who co-founded the Web site development and Ajaxian.com Relations Director for developers of Palm is. To e-mail messages are sent as a simple fact, and instant messaging to allow the conversation smoothly and without interruption.

Web developers have devised ways to keep in constant communication server and browser, but Galbraith describes the techniques such as "clever hack", which leads to complex and not very scalable. Web Sockets, he said, promising an easy way for developers, sites that change in real time - increasingly important with the proliferation of different data sources in real time, instant status updates to users of social networking. Create users can expect to make web applications in real-time feeds, you can run smoothly and with fewer errors.

HTML5 also help web applications work best when the Internet or connecting devices intermittently, separately, as is common in smartphones, says Alon Salant, Carbon Five, based in San Francisco, the company specializes in writing web applications have. A feature called Web applications, Web Storage can store more data in the browser to retrieve the most intelligent and the monitoring of search engine, parts of pages for faster downloading.

Galbraith, also features the latest version of CSS, which is designed to work with HTML5 very happy. These features make their sites more user input and provide a higher quality graphics - things that the web is generally good. HTML5 Windows allows developers to integrate the motion in a region, but says Galbraith new CSS features would be better to do.

Lawson says, users will also see the return of other improved features of HTML5. For example, most states in that style, such as browser type, the amount of JavaScript is necessary and to reduce page loading, especially for mobile devices.

Chris Blizzard, Mozilla director of the Annunciation, is the concept of 'unit of analysis HTML5. The browser reads the analytical framework of the program used to create a page and realize how to prove it. Blizzard says that this is one of the most important parts of the specification. Estimated to be compatible with multiple browsers, especially how to deal with poorly written code. Instead, let each browser vendors decide to treat as an incomplete code set by the parser, which should be the response to errors. This should give users a consistent experience regardless of the browser, he says.

HTML5 While a long list of important changes seem low, says Lawson, the primary goal is to simplify what was to develop and work, so it is less likely to make mistakes. Lawson said: "The greater simplicity, greater resistance and therefore the best experience for the consumer - that is what I have."
