Today Steve Jobs, Apple's all-powerful leader, has shown its best face, long, when they took the stage and from there to unveil the third major release of software that manages the large family of mobile devices from Apple.

From today, All developers can download a beta version and start using a 1.500 new programming tools. The finished product, over 100 new features for users, not be ready for installation (as a free upgrade) on iPhones and iPod touch until this summer and it will iPads this fall.

But, the variety and scope of the improvements made were the least, impresionantes. Forstall Scott, one of the young and new promises Apple, announced seven key features“tentpoles”:

1. Multitarea.

Double-clicking on the Start button, users can switch from one application to another, while the first is still running in the background. This means that the music programs like Pandora do not have to stop dreaming when we receive an e-mail, or receive Skype calls, even if the program does not run in the background. Also, Social Media programs like Loopt can position and track users throughout the day.

2. Folders.

To group applications into folders, allow users to install more than 180 applications on the iPhone. Specifically from now may contain up to 2,160 applications!

3. Mail.

Apple's new improved application that allows users to create a unified mailbox for all email accounts. It also allows multiple conversations by topic and exchange rate accounts.

4. iBooks.

This application, and filed with the iPad, iBookstore leads to iPhone and iPod touch. Includes free copy of Winnie the Pooh, a book with color illustrations showing the best possible way that Apple can do what Amazon (AMZN) the Kindle can not.

5. Enterprise.

Apple is adding a series of improvements aimed at getting departments to attract Information Technology currently closely linked to Research In Motion (RIMM) BlackBerry, to include greater encryption and mobile device management.

6. Game Center.

Playing with the biggest advantage Apple has in terms of number of games – more 50.000 compared with 4321 for Nintendo DS 2.477 for Sony (SNOW) PSP – Apple is adding leaderboards and brokerage services to make it easy to find people on line to participate in multiplayer games.

7. hell.

Steve Jobs this novelty reserved for final. What is offering developers a way to create interactive ads that avoid, in his words, “suck” or requiring users to leave the program is running when you click on an ad. With many mobile devices from Apple and may serve more than 1 million impressions per day, we are faced with an extraordinary opportunity for both developers and Apple to generate a lot of money, and employment.

Why you should not even buy an Apple iPad

// April 3rd, 2010 // No Comments » // Apple iPad, The Future of the Web, Internet, Marketing, News, Advertising

The famous Apple iPad arrives today at U.S. stores, and by all accounts seen before, is a revolutionary team at all levels…but apparently seen, I think we should have some patience and wait a while yet…And what is the reason for this conclusion came? here we indicated some conclusions I have reached:

Historically the first generation of any Apple product is for “Whimsical”

Those geeks with no self control and a high income level tend to be the first to buy the first generation Apple product, and especially when it comes to a new category as we consider the Apple iPad. Will these customers to pay double for the team in both hardware and software created for these.

In fact, I refer to evidence, I remember when the Apple iPhone made its debut with all kinds of alaracas and fanfare back in 2.007, did it with only two models that were around a price of 500 and 600 dollars, respectively. Back then debuted without native applications – had only installed a few mobile web applications, some of which were made in a format “friendly” iPhone launch because it justified.

The Apple iPad may not be the best option today

One year later, and 2.008, the new version of Apple iPhone 3G went on sale being faster and cheaper than their predecessors, specifically did it for a 300 dollars less and with support for native applications. I remember back then, because it was a new platform for creating applications, there were not many native applications that run on it. Finally, last summer the powerful and agile Apple iPhone 3G debuted with an impressive roster of native applications and even the possibility of rolling earlier versions of programs at a reasonable speed. Today, iPhone 3G is on sale for a few affordable 100 U.S. dollars, something like five times less than the price of the cheapest model of the first generation.

Do not want to be remembered among your friends, or perhaps other as, the person who bought the first generation of Apple iPad, especially when Apple cut the price in half within a year.

The next iPad is expected to be much faster, cheaper, with less bugs and better applications available. Let, all those apostles Steve Jobs has, which behave canaries in a coal mine while waiting for any mine gas leak. Although I've had the opportunity to see for a month, Applications compiled with the new SDK for iPad, developers must be given time to refine their applications to work much better on iPad. We will have to give Apple a year to improve the price and also fill the cracks that this new version, which makes its market debut tomorrow may be. (No need to do a lot of memory to recall that the first iPhone did not have the option to copy and paste).

But, Returning to the subject of developers, remember that the current development platform SDK for Apple iPhone and iTouch has matured over the three years of life that is currently on the contrary, recent months, the vast majority of developers, have been working with a simulator software applications iPad. Thus, can not really tested the possibilities of an application without being able to run on hardware which is designed. So, all these great applications iPad, I'm sure you have not yet seen the light but surely, will do so next year.

In fact as recently told one of the “iPad Testers”:

Perhaps most exciting of Apple iPad is still the best applications are not here yet. Imagine that this is the year, the book-movie-game all in one sees the light…what, see an application based on Augmented Reality, to keep under “the fly” the position of the International Space Station while doing circular orbits the earth, constellations and the names of the astronauts traveling in it. I really like this new team, But will all these developments can incorporate their next releases, what will make a real tool of desire.

If you are interested in an Apple iPad, perhaps it is best to put that money in a safe in a savings account for a year and wait for the second version of the iPad or good competition, I do not think that just rest on its laurels, and you'll have a better product for less money.

On this occasion, I think the toll to be paid for being a “early adopter”, for the reasons argued, may not be the only cost to be paid for having a new product in its category.

Do you really need an Apple iPad now?

I do not know if you need a Apple iPad now. If you already have a phone Smartphone and a laptop, Working the hole to cover the iPad unclear, and goes against consumers who choose a gadget to meet certain needs. Many internet geeks have already discussed at length about the shortcomings of the iPad about it is a platform face, a closed environment with many features that are missing (multitarea, usb, camera, flash…etc.) and are not anything.

If we just common sense: What is clear is that any new gadget comes with hidden costs. We just need to buy those devices whose benefits outweigh the costs to know Him.

Addition, any new gadget that we acquire, we give to your screen the necessary attention, battery charge, synchronize with other computers, an insurance, transfer you from here to there…, and buy all those accessories to get more out, all this regardless of the concerns to avoid losing, rayarlo, prevent it from falling to the ground between the most common. Therefore, if today the ipad Apple does not cover a clear need in your day to day, both at work and at home, be better to say, step. At least for now.

Within a year, safely, the new iPad is a device much better than that tomorrow sees the light on the market. Addition, surely there will be more choice in this type of tablets with perhaps better options and functionality for your pocket. When you spend all this fever on the iPad, platform and it cools off, we still have the nearly four hundred euros in bank account, and be glad not to have fallen into the temptation of having hit the bite of the new technology of the day 3 April 2.010.
