Exec predicts plethora of iPad clones
If predictions from Roy Chen, processor-maker ARM's worldwide mobile computing ODM manager, come true then we're going to see a whole lot of tablet computers in 2010. The exec said that he reckons there'll be more than 50 launched globally this year.
"The first tablet devices will launch in the second quarter by [mobile network] carriers", he said, during a press meeting, adding: "you'll see a lot more in the third quarter". Most are due to be launched in China, but a selection are likely to make it to the UK too. The inspiration, apparently, has been Apple's iPad plans.
ARM may know more than most about the plans of tech companies. As one of the first destinations for manufacturers planning the specs of new gadgets, the company gets to see an awful lot of prototypes. The big question is - what will the tablets run? Android, Linux, or Windows?

New gadgets inbound say WSJ
Sony,?worried that Apple will take over the tablet world in the same way they did the MP3 market, is rumoured to be working on a all-in-one device that "shares [the] characteristics of netbooks, electronic-book readers and handheld-game machines."
While nothing has officially been stated by Sony, that hasn't stopped the journalists at the Wall Street Journal in the US talking "to people familiar with the matter," to get the low down and dirty on the next big thing.
The article, which then seems to go on by shoving as many rumour buzz words in the article it possible can, also suggests that "The device is designed to compete against multifunction products such as Apple's coming iPad?tablet."
If that wasn't enough to get your gadget juices flowing, the WSJ also claims that the company is working on "a smart phone capable of downloading and playing videogames," as well, resurrecting rumours of the PSP phone?once again.
Both "The new products are targeted for launch in 2010, although many details such as price and certain specifications have yet to be finalized, these people said." Claim the WSJ.
If that wasn't enough to keep Sony busy for the near future, it will also supposedly be revamping its PlayStation Network Store to allow it to deliver all the goodies the new device will need to make it an iPad challenger.
Could Sony be about to launch an tablet multimedia device? Could they pull it off? Would you buy one? Let us know in the comments below.

Sony building multimedia tablet and PSP phone? originally appeared on http://www.pocket-lint.com on Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:38:55 +0000
Sony Corp. is developing a new lineup of handheld products, including a smart phone capable of downloading and playing PlayStation games, specifically to compete with Apple’s iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, the Wall Street Journal reported this morning. The new gadgets are scheduled to launch this year, sources told the Journal.
Sony is working with Sony Ericsson on the new handset, the people familiar with the matter said.
The new devices are meant to counter Apple and its wide range of products that connect to its iTunes media platform. Apple’s iPod Touch and iPhone are pushing into the portable-gaming market inhabited by Sony’s PSP, while the iPad tablet is expected to disrupt the nascent e-reader market where the Sony Reader has already sold one million units.
The Japanese electronics giant also has a project under way to develop a portable device that blurs distinctions among a netbook, an e-reader and a PlayStation Portable, or PSP. The device is designed to compete against multifunction products such as Apple’s coming iPad tablet.
Both the new smart phone and the multifunction device are expected to work with Sony’s online media platform, due to launch later this month in the U.S. as the company’s answer to Apple’s iTunes.
CeBit 2010 threw open its doors today. And so far the computerfest hasn’t disappointed, with stacks of amazing new gadgets for us to coo over. We’re talking next-gen netbooks, iPad-baiting slates and convergence-mad satnavs.
So what’s been top of the pile at CeBit so far? Jump in now and we’ll give you the complete rundown.
All-new metal Eee PCs
A year after unleashing the first Asus Seashell in Hanover, the Taiwanese titan has once agin used CeBit to tout some awesome new Eee PCs. Top of the line is the 18mm thin Eee PC Prime 1018p, rocking USB 3.0 and a 10.1-inch screen in an aluminium bod’. Then there’s the Eee PC Diary 1016p which promises “long-lasting battery life”. And last up is the Eee PC Seashell 1015 with a screw-less design, new colours and a stonking 14 hours of battery.
Archos 8 Home Slate
More like a photo frame than a tablet, thanks to that hefty PC, the Archos 8 Home Slate has clearly got the iPad in its sights. It’s got Android inside, as well as 4GB of storage for photos and vids, all inside an impossibly thin 12mm frame. And if the 8-inch number is a tad too obese for your tastes, the French PMP maker is also rolling out a 7-inch version for the same £129 price. The latter also comes in an 8GB edition.
Acer Aspire One 532G
We already knew that this new slab of gadgetry would be wheeled out at CeBit, but it was officially confirmed as the first netbook to pack in NVIDIA’s Ion 2 graphics. That means it can handle video with aplomb and see off ageing efforts which were notorious for struggling with even the most basic of clips. This new model was seen hiding at Mobile World Congress, but now it’s been pushed out front for the masses.
Nokia C5
You’d have expected the Nokia C5 to take a bow at Mobile World Congress. But lo, the Finnish phone fanatics have chosen CeBit to unleash their cheap, but utterly brilliant new blower. Rocking standard candybar looks, it comes loaded with some awesome features including easy Facebook access, Wi-Fi, GPS and HSDPA, all for £122 minus a SIM. It shows Nokia doing what it does best: great basic mobiles.
Mio Moov V780
Sure CeBit is mostly about PC cobblers getting all competitive. But Mio, the satnav people, have rocked up in Germany with a PND that packs in some serious skills. Like HDMI, a WVGA screen and DivX support. The sizeable 7-inch panel also means you can hook it up to a dedicated keyboard dock, just like the one you get with the Apple iPad. It’s a novel move, but one that makes a lot of sense. Why lug around a netbook and satnav when you can have it all in one dinky device?

It’s a big deal for computer professionals, although the number of companies appearing this year has dropped to 4,157, compared to about 4,292 last year, down 26% from 2008. Cebit is now focusing more on enterprise IT, says ComputerWorld.
Still, there will likely be enough new gadgets to keep everyone amused.
From MacRumors: …Some patent applications are more interesting or relevant than others, but we knew this latest one would generate some buzz as it actually depicts an old-style iMac with a touch screen (above).
This Patent application is called Shape Detecting Input Device and was originally submitted in 2004 with a continuation published today. It proposes that a touch screen could be used not only as a pointer/input device but also a shape recognition device to essentially take the place of a key/lock system.

A report by research firm Gartner suggests that the mobile market will rebound and show a stronger than expected recovery this year. As worldwide economies begin to boost spending on new gadgets and handset retailers offer cheaper smartphones, Gartner expect the industry to grow up to 13% in 2010.
The report comes after the handset market suffered its first decline in eight years, falling by just 1%. Gartner had originally forecast growth of around 9% in December but revised their figures after the economy showed signs of stabilizing into a recovery trend.
As sales are beginning to increase, the extraordinary amount of competition in the cellphone market will put significant pressure on vendors as they seek to increase their profit margins. Handset vendors are scrambling to release a new generation of smartphones to compete with the releases of the Apple iPhone and Google’s open source operating system; Android.
Three of the top five mobile phone vendors experienced lower than expected sales in 2009. The top five vendors continued to lose market share to Apple and other smartphone manufacturers, their combined market share falling from 79.7% in 2008 to 75.3% in 2009.
Nokia, the world’s largest cellphone manufacturer, performed better than industry expectations in the final quarter of 2009 but still lost 2.2% of it’s market share. Samsung and LG showed strong sales, increasing their market share 3.2% and 1.7% respectively.
The balance in the mobile market looks to have shifted after the introduction of more powerful smartphone devices with 172.4 million units sold in 2009, a 23.8% increase from 2008. Smartphone focused vendors Apple and Research In Motion (RIM) helped manage to capture market share from larger device manufacturers, now holding 14.4% and 19.9% of the worldwide smartphone market.
The most popular smartphone operating system continues to be Nokia owned Symbian. It seems that increased competition from Apple and RIM and a dip in Nokia’s high end device sales, the software vendor noticed Symbian’s share of the market of 5.4% in 2009.
With Nokia announcing a partnership with Intel that will see them create a new mobile operating system called Meego and the first release of an newly open sourced Symbian operating system, Nokia will look to these products to post stronger than average increase in sales in the latter half of 2010.
The two best performers in 2009 were Apple and Android. Apple grew their market share by 6,2% in 2009, taking third position behind Symbian and RIM, displacing Microsoft Windows Mobile in the process. Android called in an impressive 3.5% gain in 2009 with vendors selling 6.8million Android devices, up from just 0.5% the year before.
Carolina Milanesi, Research Director at Gartner adds:
“Looking back at the announcements during Mobile World Congress 2010, we can expect 2010 to retain a strong focus around operating systems, services and applications while hardware takes a back seat. Sales will return to low-double-digit growth, but competition will continue to put a strain on vendors’ margins.”

A recent Apple Inc. job posting has revealed that the company intends to focus on bringing the iPhone OS onto new gadgets, devices and platforms.
The job posting from the Cupertino, CA, company specifically calls for an engineering manager to handle “platform bring-up.” In the job description, Apple states that it’s looking for a manager “to lead a team focused on bring-up of iPhone OS on new platforms.” It seems like Apple wants some outside talent with very strong technical experience, especially when it comes to bringing software onto multiple hardware devices. Computerworld first caught the job post.
Here are the first two paragraphs of the job posting, which explains exactly what the company is looking for:
“The Core Platform team within Apple’s Core OS organization is looking for a talented and inspired manager to lead a team focused on bring-up of iPhone OS on new platforms. The team is responsible for low level platform architecture, firmware, core drivers and bring-up of new hardware platforms. The team consists of talented engineers with experience in hardware, firmware, IOKit drivers, security and platform architecture.
This position requires a very technical and hands-on leader, experience in working closely with hardware team and a deep understanding of bare metal software. You must be a highly self-motivated individual who seeks to create a dynamic and creative team environment in which old problems are solved in new and innovative ways.”
The job requires someone with experience developing for the Unix operating system, experience with system-on-chip (SoC) level design and experience with “bring-up of mobile phones running Unix like operating systems.”
This job posting is very specific — not a lot of people are going to have this type of experience. We think it’s likely Apple is targeting product managers for Google Android, since it is built off of a modified version of the Linux kernel and it has experience porting Android onto multiple handsets.
This job posting raises a lot of questions. Clearly Apple wants to expand the iPhone OS, but where exactly? Does it intend to create multiple phones running the iPhone OS? Could something like AppleTV or even the Mac or Macbook gain the iPhone OS interface? It’s tough to tell and probably too early to know as well.
Let’s think about each of these scenarios for a moment:
1. Apple stops just selling one iPhone, but creates multiple models to suit multiple tastes, possibly including a version with a keyboard. Apple would retain control over all of these models, but it would use them to compete with BlackBerry, Android and other smartphones even further. It could also create a less-advanced version for users that don’t want an advanced smartphone, but that would be out of character with Apple’s history.
We think there’s a chance it could create multiple models of the iPhone, but this is probably not the primary plan.
2. Apple brings the iPhone OS to AppleTV. It would certainly provide a boost and new attention to a mostly fledgling and forgotten project, but most TVs are not touchscreens. We’re not sure about this one.
3. Apple creates new computers that utilize the iPhone OS as its primary OS. We think this is actually the most likely scenario — it gives Apple full control over the user experience and gives it a chance to redefine computing for years to come. It seems like a next step from the iPad, although we’re uncertain how receptive people would be to a low-cost computer running the iPhone OS instead of the Mac OS or Windows.
Apple is clearly bullish on its OS and thinks it is the future of computing and mobile. Now it’s just a matter of what device it puts it in next.

Apple Looking to Bring iPhone OS to More Devices
- Rob Diana
Looks like the iPad will not be Apple's (AAPL) last non-iPhone device to run what we now think of as the iPhone OS.
On its company job board, Apple says it is looking to hire "a talented and inspired manager to lead a team focused on bring-up of iPhone OS on new platforms."

It’s like Groundhog Day for touch-screen PCs.
Yesterday’s device of tomorrow (see Bill Gates’s 2001 prediction that tablet PCs would outstrip laptops and of course the Apple Newton) is once again hot stuff, thanks to Apple’s iPad launch last month.
Now, other PC makers are hoping they can finally create a market for technology that’s been languishing for years.
But while Apple’s gotten the buzz, and H-P has gotten attention for its Windows-based Slate, which it previewed three weeks before the iPad, Dell has taken a different approach.
The Texas PC giant has been showing its Mini 5 — a much smaller touch-screen gadget than Apple’s or H-P‘s — since early January. The device looks like a big iPhone and uses Google’s Android operating system. Dell says the Mini 5 will go on sale later this year. When that happens, it will end what John Thode, Dell’s vice president in charge of mobile devices, describes as a two-year process to figure out what people who’ve already got a smart phone and a laptop would be willing to buy.
Dell did consumer research that produced an unsurprising set of criteria: “It’s got to be inexpensive, it’s got to be small, it’s got to be thin, it’s got to have long battery life,” Mr. Thode says. What was surprising is that there’s already a common gadget fitting the mold: the navigation devices that companies make for rental cars. The hitch with them, he says, is that they’re not made for Web browsing.
Mr. Thode says Dell liked the idea of developing an Internet-ready gadget since he figured it wouldn’t compete with Apple’s smaller iPhone or the larger tablet. And with falling cellular rates and PC-hardware prices, it seemed possible to develop new gadgets at low prices for consumers, he says.
Now Dell is getting its new tablet ready to sell. Mr. Thode says there’s plenty of room for Apple competitors when it comes to touch-screen gadgets — and he’s skeptical that the iPad will get the same public reaction as the wildly popular iPhone. “It’s really hard to kind of do the same thing over again twice or three times,” he said. Apple, he adds, is “going to have more competition here.”
Still, he’s cautious about predicting how the tablet market will develop, and what gadget will become the new must-have. “If anybody tells you they know exactly what’s going to happen here, they’re either Apple, or they’re smoking dope,” Mr. Thode says.

The annual Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is one of the world’s biggest trade shows devoted to cellphones, smartphones and mobile gear. Wired covered the show — as we do every year — to bring you hands-on photos of the biggest announcements and most interesting new gadgets from the floor of the trade show.
Dominating the headlines, of course, was Microsoft’s announcement of are branded, updated mobile operating system they now call Windows Phone 7 Series. Modeled on the eye-popping Zune HD interface, it looks like one of the most ambitious, ground-up re-imaginings of the smartphone interface in years.
And then there were more eclectic product announcements, like the Motorola Golden-i shown here. This headset is a prototype hands-free terminal for use in construction or other tough environments where the user has his hands busy, but still needs a computer. Designed to fit under a construction helmet, the Golden-i puts a tiny screen up close to the eye which gives the equivalent of a 15-inch display, and also has a headphone, a microphone along with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for talking to other devices.
Read on for more highlights from MWC 2010.
Computer maker HP unveiled a netbook running the Android operating system and carrying its Compaq brand, a reflection of the growing range of devices powered by Google's mobile platform. HP separately announced a new smartphone, the Glisten, which is the latest in the company's long line of iPAQ-branded, Windows Mobile-powered smartphones.
HP said its new Compaq AirLife 100 netbook combines a 10.1-inch diagonal screen, 16 GB storage, Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor and the Android operating system with a customized touch interface. The device will be sold exclusively through Latin American carrier Telefónica and will be available in the spring.
"The browser has become the desktop for many people, and the new Compaq AirLife is the next evolution of a mobile computer that is streamlined specifically for the Web," said Charl Snyman, vice president and general manager of HP's Personal Systems Group for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. "This new type of user lives life online and no longer measures computing speeds and feeds, but rather friends, people and online social ranks."
The HP Android netbook is especially interesting considering Google last year unveiled plans for another computer platform--dubbed Chrome--designed specifically for netbooks. Devices powered by that operating system, which Google has described as separate but related to Android, are expected later this year.
As for HP's iPAQ Glisten, the device also will be available through Telefónica in Latin America. The gadget sports an AMOLED screen, a Qwerty keyboard and the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. Interestingly, HP said the device would support Adobe's Flash technology for Web browsing.
HP said it would show off its new gadgets at next week's Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, Spain. Indeed, the HP Android-powered netbook is to be one of dozens of new Android-running devices expected at the event.

MSNBC.com is running an article suggesting that the ho hum reactions to the iPad, Google Buzz and 3D TV might be due to tech fatigue and perhaps consumers just being smarter with their dollars in tight times. Suzanne Choney quotes analysts who suggest we’re getting smarter about our purchases and perhaps seeing through the hype rather than being overwhelmed by fatigue.
It’s a good read and it begs the question that is in the headline of this post. It also begs more depth. Most of the great rush in gadget land these days is for consumption devices, in fact it all is. Several assumptions follow that path: 1.) assuming consumers will (at some point) be willing to pay for content on shiny new gadgets, and/or 2.) revenue will be generated by advertising.
On the first, I think there’s a limited amount consumers will spend for content based purely on their budgets. On the latter, I still wonder how advertising generates so much revenue (and it does) when just about everybody hates it, and I’ve sill yet to meet a person who clicks on an ad.
Rather than gadget fatigue, I’m guessing the trend that will cause real problems will have to deal more with resistance to paying for content (again for budget reasons not ideological ones) and resistance to advertising.
So, how about you? Gadget fatigue? Chime in and let us know.
Two white-label handset makers announced new gadgets geared to operators keen to offer the latest Android or Windows Mobile phones under their own brand. AnyData's new ASP-318 and the ASP-518 phones (both running Microsoft's Windows Mobile) and Inbrics' M1 (running Android) will be on display at the upcoming Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, Spain.
The companies' original design manufacturer efforts come as little surprise. Indeed, smartphone stalwart HTC got its start offering white-label products to the world's wireless carriers, an effort that eventually blossomed into HTC pushing its own brand straight to consumers via advanced Windows Mobile and Android smartphones.
First up, AnyData described its new ASP-318 as a "low cost and affordable" Windows Mobile smartphone that sports a 3.2-inch touchscreen, GPS and support for GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz bands. The phone will be commercially available in the second quarter under the iMedia smartphone brand. Meantime, AnyData's ASP-518 sports support for CDMA and GSM networks and offers Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, GPS navigation, WiFi and 4 GB of memory. It is currently marketed by China Telecom under the Phillips brand.
"Our carrier customers desire high-end and entry-level smartphones that they can brand and provide a compelling multimedia experience for smartphone applications," crowed Soon B. Shin, CEO of AnyData, a privately held company based in Irvine, Calif., that sells wireless gewgaws in 43 countries.
Separately, South Korea-based Inbrics showed off its Android-powered M1, which features WiFi, an AMOLED touchscreen that slides to reveal a full Qwerty keyboard, GPS, 16 GB of internal memory and other advanced features (including, according to the company, support for "3G or WiMAX").
Inbrics said it plans to introduce the MID M1 in Europe through both "fixed and wireless carriers" beginning in 2010 or early 2011. The company confirmed the phone will be sold under another, still-undetermined brand. Inbrics currently has partnerships with global carriers and manufacturers including T-Mobile, SK Telecom, Korea Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, Celcom, Samsung, LG, and Kyocera.
