5:29 AM - Windows 8 Tablet, Are You Ready to Challenge the Current Situation

Undoubtedly, Apple IOS system and Google's Android system are the leaders in Tablet market now the market leader in Tablet market, and the advent of Win8 definitely is the bright light in the Tablet contest. We have to admit that if the operation system has no highly competitiveness, no matter how beautiful shell it has, it won't win much praise, so-called Tablet PC battle, in fact, is the operating system wars.

According to Microsoft, most ignored Windows 8 design will have a comprehensive description in the blog recently, David Washington who is from Microsoft wrote on the MSDN blog, "We spent a lot of time to study the habits and positions of people using Tablet, such as in usability labs, and in their own houses, because there are so many Tablet users. Microsoft developers are studying the based interaction between a variety of system applications and the user's body posture, movement. "The number of combinations is staggering, the posture, grip and directions are changed frequently," Washington said. "Simply put, there is no specific way to hold their Tablet, people just naturally seek to find a comfortable position and orientation.

According to Taiwan media, industry sources that including Hewlett-Packard, Dell and other PC makers are ready to take a chance to develop Microsoft Windows8 Tablet, and probably new products will be released in the third quarter of 2012. In this regard, two companies have confirmed this news. They said that Amazon releasing Kindle Fire in low-cost not only just led a price war between those manufacturers of Android tablet, also it forces manufacturers to turn to other platforms, in order to avoid drastic competition. They said that Motorola have begun to release low-cost version XOOM Tablet in Best Buy on October 16,

Hewlett-Packard and Dell confirmed that they will release Windows8 Tablet in the third quarter of next year, because the Android market competition is too intense. From the perspective of e-reader function, Windows8 system is clearly better than Android, on the official application, it also will not less than Android.

Perhaps just because win8, Android feels threatened so they have to upgrade, but no matter how is the war going, for consumers, the product will be getting better and better, and the price will be more cheaper. Meet the individual needs of users, is the key for Tablet to success. No matter what great achievement you have gained before, you still need to follow the trend, because every minute, you may have more competitors, I believe that this is the embarrassing situation that Microsoft now faces, however, the time that there is only Microsoft system has gone, and now, the truth is IOS have obvious advantages, we can see that from the popularity of iPad, iPod, iPhone, Mac or related gadgets like mac dvd ripper or mac the ripper download, so if Win8 or Android want to compete with IOS, they have to make more efforts.

2:33 AM - Top 3 Multi-Player Games for iPhone

There are so many multi-player games for your iPhone in App Store, so it may be hard to choose which one to play, well, as a faithful game player, here are my favorite multi-player games, you can check out if you like. And if you want to transfer these games or other stuff to your computer to share it with friends or others, iphone to pc transfer can help.

1. FIFA

If you are a football fan, FIFA is the best multi-player game for you, and nothing is more interesting than a football game (just personal preference), take FIFA 12 on the iPhone, for example, with its new control system. While it may include a virtual direction control and buttons for shooting, passing, etc, it also offers some swipe controls, double taps, and player selection by just touching them. And free kicks are now taken in a sort of Flick Kick Football fashion; you swipe through the ball to send it in the direction you wish from a 3D rear view.

2. Fruit Ninja

It's the most interesting fruit game ever. Here are the tips for you to gain more achievements.

Cutting the pineapple 3 times in a row

What you need to do is wait until two in a row fly up then wait and pray that there's a third. If don't want to cut the fruit then move on.

Lovely Bunch Achievement help

To get the "Lovely Bunch", you need a combo of 6 coconuts in Zen Mode (may also be achieveable in other modes).

Year of the Dragon Achievement help

For the special fruit secret, you play classic mode and eventually a big fruit will fly across the screen from left to right. Not only will you get the achievement but you will also get 50 bonus points. For the secret ones, you have to get 0 fruit, 69 fruit, 99 fruit, and you have to get your exact high score, then you just let youself lose.

3. Infinity Blade

An iPhone game with graphics as good as any classical PC or console game. Infinity Blade uses Unreal Engine 3 to give you some of the best graphics available on a mobile game. Infinity Blade is a sword fighting action game. You can use the Gamecenter multi-player to play a match against available online players. In the multi-player mode, one player is responsible for controlling the main hero of the game, hacking, and slashing by swiping fingers across the screen, while the other player controls the main monster bosses who also control weapon slashes by swiping their fingers across the screen. The goal of both - kill each other.

These games generally can be played in all iOS devices, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, but I only have iPhone 4, and sometimes it will have serious problems when I playing games or doing other things, so it's really necessary to know how to restore iPhone 4, and if you have the same problem like me, you should know it, too, because when you utilize your devices too much like playing those games all the time, the damage is inevitable.

2:32 AM - Flurry Announces the Statistic of App Downloaded in Christmas Week Over One Billion

Do you know how many app downloads in Christmas week? 1.2 billion, Can you imagine that? What a zillion! However, that's reasonable, when you get iPod, iPhone or iPad as the Christmas present, what's the first thing you want to do? Download your favorite apps of course, not to mention Apple released so attractive promotions among Christmas.

Flurry claims estimates that 1.2 billion applications were downloaded during what it calls the "holiday power week." It also believes that more than 20 million iOS and Android devices were activated during the holiday period. Seriously, I don't know if you have made your contribution to that statistic, but I did, I can't remember how many apps I have downloaded on my iPod touch, transferring previous apps, videos, songs to my PC with ipod computer transfer to save space for the new apps. Maybe you have done the same thing, maybe you are one of the biggest contributors of App Store's income.

Whether you accept that methodology or not, the premise behind the 1.2 billion downloads seems sensible. iOS devices (and their Android counterparts) probably found their way on to many a holiday gift list this year. While you'd expect to see a burst of downloading on Christmas day immediately after presents are opened, new device owners are unlikely to confine their App Store shopping sprees to a single day. Existing device owners are also busy cashing in their App Store gift cards on new software. And since smartphones pose a gift-giving challenge thanks to contracts with wireless carriers, there's also the prospect of new iPhone owners activating their devices in the days after Christmas for adding further fuel to the downloading fire.

While Apple does not formally release data about the number of devices being turned on for the first time, Google has confirmed that over 3.7 million Android devices were activated on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Since Android has such massive amounts, you certainly can imagine the situation of iOS, which is definitely bigger than that. Think about how many Apple users out there? iPod, iPhone, iPad, almost everyone has one of them, especially iPad, which is the most wanted thing in Christmas gift list, and if you are an iPad user, here is a trick that you must know, which is how to sync ipad 2 to computer, so that you won't lose one thing that you don't want to lose in your iPad.

The United States accounted for 42.3 percent of the total with 509 million downloads, followed by Chine with 99 million, The U.K. with 81 million, and Canada with 41 million. New device activations played a role in the record breaking app download numbers. Flurry's estimates put the total number of iOS and Android devices activated during the Christmas week at 20 million, and the company expects those numbers to continue to climb.

Now the Christmas shopping season is almost going to end, but Apple's promotion just begins, it will releases Red Friday in Asia which begins from Jan.6, and it just gonna make that number becomes much bigger.

3:42 AM - â??The Walking Deadâ?? Coming to iOS Devices very Soon

If you really love the zombie TV shows or movies, then you must know "The Walking Dead", it's not exaggerated to say that The Walking Dead is the first real Zombie theme TV show we have watched. The teleplay is adapted from Robert Kirkman's zombie apocalypse comic book series, except for the TV show, The Walking Dead app for iOS is going to be released very soon.

Telltale Games finally has the first episode (out of five) for The Walking Dead, many game players who have tried this game all say it's very exciting and thrilling, so we iPad users can't help wondering when this game will come to iOS, luckily, Telltale plans to release iOS app this summer. The Walking Dead for iOS is set to be an adventure-style horror game set in the same grisly zombie-infested environment found in the television series and in the monthly comic series. If you know how to put movies on iPad, you can watch this TV show on your iPad before the game released, I think it's more interesting to play this game if have watched the teleplay before.

Telltale has released the trailer for the first part of the five part series, entitled A New Day, in the hopes that it will hold fans over until the application arrives on the App Store. In this episode, you'll play through a vehicle named Lee, a loosely defined character with a mysterious history and innocence about him. The opening takes place right before the world goes to hell. Lee is in the back of a police car, handcuffed, talking to the officer driving when, suddenly, the officer strikes a walker with his vehicle. The crash is a stomach-churning, and the action after is intense. Lee survives, but finds himself in a world where the dead shamble and the living sprint.

Speaking of the TV show, "A New Day" does take advantage of the episodic format and presents itself as an installment in a longer story. If you know how to convert m4v to mp4, then you can upload the whole two seasons to your iPad, after watching the TV shows, you will be more familiar to play this game. You're warned at the start of the game that choices you make in this chapter might not have immediate repercussions, but could have impact on later episodes.

If you really want to play this game right now and can't wait for the iOS version, you can purchase the PC and Mac versions from the Telltale Games Online Store, as well as Steam and other digital distribution services. The first episode is also available for download now on PlayStation Network for the PlayStation3 computer entertainment system.

The TV show has been through a crisis before, it almost been cut, I guess the game will make audiences have more interests in the show. The truth is we all want to be a part of the story, the scene and the violence, so let's just wait for it to come to iOS platform.

2:53 AM - Five New Features iOS 6 Will Have, According to the Rumors

WWDC is coming in a week, however, according to the rumors, we won't see any iOS device in this conference, but what we won't miss is the information about iOS 6, Mountain Lion, iCloud and so on. iOS 6 will meet us until this fall, but there are many guesses about it, one of them is that many new features will be added to iOS 6.

The first one is MountainLionCenter, it is a Cydia tweak, which can allow users to freely control the notification center, In addition, it supports both portrait and landscape screen mode. Just like how Mac users open the notification center, users can tune out the interface via slipping the screen from right to left. In addition, if using MountainLionCerter, some icons in status bar may be hidden so developers add those icons to MountainLionCerter so that users can view them conveniently.

The second is Siri. Right, you may feel excited about this news, because generally, iPhone 4S is the only device that can use Siri right now. We can not only rip dvd to ipad to watch HD movies on the Retina Display, according to 9to5Mac, Siri will come to iPad with iOS 6. However, only new iPad can have it, so if you own a new iPad, you can talk to Siri at that time. It will come complete with music playback, iMessaging, calendar managing, reminders, weather, maps integration, emailing, notes, contacts searching, Safari integration, Worlfram-Alpha searching and more. The only thing missing from Siri for the iPad will be the phone-related commands.



The third one is iCloud Tabs. iCloud Tabs allows iCloud users to view the labels in Safari on multiple iOS and Mac devices. After clicking the iCloud Tabs on the iOS 6 device or Mac, the opened label on each device will be displayed in a synchronized list, so users can quickly select the label. iCloud Tabs on the iPhone and iPod touch was hidden in the Bookmark Toolbar.

Another one is Do Not Disturb. This feature lets users turn off the notifications and messages from notification center. Sources say that while the option is present directly in the Mountain Lion Notification Center, the Do Not Disturb toggle is stationed like the Airplane Mode button in settings.

Of course, the new features of iOS 6 are more than these. Mark Gurman over at 9to5Mac relays what trusted sources told him, that iOS 6 will also include Mail VIPs, which is a new feature Apple announced in OS X Mountain Lion that works in a manner similar to Gmail's Priority Inbox in that it automatically collects your important email messages.

We can do many things on iPad right now, like how to transfer photos from pc to ipad, and if these rumors about iOS 6 new features are true, it will be more convenient for us to make the most of iPad and other iOS devices, so about the authenticity of these information, we just wait for the WWDC in next week.

5:26 AM - Features of iOS 6: Siri,FaceBook,FaceTime and So On

WWDC was held at the Moscone in San Francisco, Apple brought us the whole new iOS 6, which has more than 200 new functions, certainly can give users better experiences. This new update is only not available for iPad 1, iPod touch 1-3, so most Apple users have the chance to enjoy the functions that iOS will bring us this fall. Now let's see what features Apple has introduced about iOS 6 at WWDC.

1. Siri. This voice assistant is always the first one to recommend. Siri is one the most impressive features in iOS 6, but only new iPad can use it, of course and iPhone 4S. The voice functionality of Siri will be richer and more humane. In the future Apple will cooperate with a number of car manufacturers to develop products that can support Siri. Now except for figuring out how to transfer dvd to ipad to watch DVD movies, new iPad users also can play jokes with Siri. Siri in iOS 6 can support Chinese, French, Italian and other new languages, which means this voice assistant is more international.

2. 3D Map App. The most direct result of competition between Apple and Google is that Apple will have its own map app. iPhone users have been using Google Maps for a long time, but this time, Apple released 3D map app at WWDC, the cooperation between Apple and Google now is over. Apple promised "vector-based map elements" that provide for smooth graphics and text, as well as "incredibly fluid" panning, tilting, and zooming.



3. FaceTime. As iOS user, who wouldn't use FaceTime to video chat between each other? But there is one disadvantage about FaceTime, that we only can use it via Wi-Fi, well, this issue wouldn't exist any more. iOS 6 enables FaceTime calls over a cellular connection, 3G network. So now even we are outside, there is no Wi-Fi, we still can chat with friends via FaceTime, Apple will also unify your Apple ID and your phone number, enabling you to not only take calls on the move but answer calls from your Mac or your iPad with FaceTime.

4. Facebook. Finally, only Twitter integration is available on iOS devices before, now Facebook has been added in the list too. We can now post to Facebook directly through Apple's app. If you have watched some interesting movie on iPad with dvd to ipad converter, you can just share it to Facebook directly and introduce it to all your friends, very nice right?

5. Safari. First and foremost is the ability to sync open tabs from Safari on a desktop to Safari on an iOS device via iCloud. Brand new safari browser will also add offline reading feature. Now, Safari can cache full websites for offline reading, not just links.
