4:18 AM - Are You Considering to Buy Sony Tablet S

After lots of rumors about Sony Tablet S, finally, it is launched. Compared to Amazon Kindle Fire's low price, it has a better market value, which means it's not that cheap, almost expensive as iPad, so I guess many people have faced a hard choice, which one should I have, Tablet S or iPad2? Well then, let's see the special characteristics of Sony Tablet.

Some said if a tablet's appearance doesn't like iPad, then it's not a Tablet, that's funny, whoever said that, he must be a crazy iPad fan. But there is always someone dare to make changes, yes, I am talking about Sony, shaped like a folded over magazine, Sony's Tablet S is maybe the weirdest looking tablet we've ever seen, but we have to admit that it's the most comfortable tablet we've ever seen. While it looks like the work of a crazy person, the design is deliberate. Sony thinks the wedge-shaped build will make the Tablet S more comfortable to hold in one hand, as well as making it sit more naturally on flat surfaces.

Compared to iPad2, Sony S is very thin and light, even equipped with two 5.5-inch touch screen, overall weight is till 0.82 pounds (367g), just has half weight of Sony Tablet S (S1) and iPad2. Alternatively they can operate independently, for example, playing video or games on one while showing control buttons or a keyboard on the other. Like other tablets it can surf the web, check email, download music and videos. More significantly, it can also be used in line with Sony's PlayStation gaming technology and its popular eReader digital book downloads, but just like iPad, we still need to have the aid of blu-ray ripper to watch blu ray videos on Sony Tablet, so that's a similarity between Sony and iPad anyway, huh, just kidding. Besides, Howard Stringer, Sony CEO said that Sony P can provide music and movies via built-in "entertainment library", which is a big advantage compared to other competitors. He said: "Apple made iPad, but it can make the film? We want to prove that it's not who makes it first that counts, but who makes it better," he said at the IFA conference.

Holding the Tablet S, you will impressed by how light it felt. At 598g for the Wi-Fi version, it's ever so slightly less heavy than the Wi-Fi iPad 2, which tips the scales at 601g. We suspect you could lug this tablet around all day, and not have to worry unduly about your bones collapsing under the strain. And look between the black bars of the bezel and you'll be greeted with a 1,280 x 800 display that Sony says uses the company's TruBlack technology - already a staple in its Bravia televisions, so imagine how wonderful it will be to rip blu-ray to mp4 and enjoy the HD movies on this high quality display.

It seems like after being launching into the market, this Tablet has a nice respond, but to us consumers who have experienced HP's $99 Tablet and Amazon's low price Kindle Fire, is really that easy for Tablet S to attract us? I'm not sure, but once it comes down in price, that's another thing, huh huh.

3:45 AM - Screenwriter of â??The Social Networkâ?? Will Write the Screenplay of Jobs Biography?

According to the "Los Angeles Times' reported that the source has revealed that Sony Pictures has a plan to employ Aaron Sorkin who is the writer of movie Social Network to write the screenplay of "Steve Jobs Biography". "Steve Jobs Biography" is written by Walter Isaacson who is a biographer of America. Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple had been co-operation with Isaacson when he was alive, provided exclusive material of his personal life to Isaacson, so the book written by Isaacson is seen as the only biography that authorized by Steve Jobs himself. "Steve Jobs Biography" has been released globally on October 24.

It's said that Sony Pictures has spent about $ 1 million to buy the film adaption rights of "Steve Jobs Biography" from Isaacson. "The Social Network" that based on Mark Zuckerberg who is the founder of Facebook also produced by Sony Pictures, and the writer of screenplay is Sorkin, "Social network" has won many awards (American Film Institute Award) in Oscar of 2011, and Sorkin won the award of the best adapted screenplay. There are lots of famous and successful screenplays adapted by Sorkin like Moneyball, acted by Brat Pitt, and it's on the screen right now, very touching motivational movie, and Charlie Wilson's War, they are all great movies, if you want to watch them on you mobile devices like iPad, iPod or iPhone, you can copy the DVD version with dvd copy mac, then it's no problem to enjoy them anytime anywhere.

Informed sources said, despite Sony Pictures has the intention to invite Sorkin to write the screenplay of "Steve Jobs Biography", but Sorkin hasn't decided whether to accept. About this, Sony Pictures and Sorkin's agent all refuse to respond. It is reported that Sony Pictures has appointed Mark Gordon who is a famous producer in America as the producer of "Steve Jobs Biography". Gordon has served as the producer of "Saving Private Ryan", which is a great and classic film, I bet most of us have watched it already, but it's worthy to watch again, so if you want to recall it, you can copy the DVD on your PC, but how do you copy a dvd in windows 7? Actually that's pretty easy to do, after all done, then you can enjoy those classic movies that made by excellent talents.

Sorkin is good at describing the life experience of protagonist who has complex character in the script, no doubt, Steve Jobs is the one who owns very complicated characteristic. But Sorkin, after all, just finished his duty as screenwriter in "The Social Network" team, perhaps he didn't want to write the script that associated with the technology any more, or at least in a short time. On the other hand, Sorkin is not familiar with Steve Jobs, so if he accepts the offer, the biography is the only material that he can used to understand the character of Steve Jobs, and this is a great challenge to any writer, no matter how excellent he is.

Interestingly, Steve Jobs had invited Sorkin to write a screenplay for Pixar. But Sorkin declined Jobs, said he could let animated characters to "speak." Now Jobs has died, perhaps Sorkin would be willing to serve as the writer of "Steve Jobs Biography", to make up the regret that he declined him once when he was alive.
