The requirements maybe a bit stricter be at the front of this prestigious geek event, but we have many other ways to have a glimpse of the last CES in Las Vegas last week. As all gadget loving people know, CES or International Consumer Electronic Show is probably the largest and the most significant event for anyone who would like to get a glimpse on what's coming the gadget community and the last trade show seems to be portraying a rather obvious them; and that is iPad Killers!
There are a variety of apps and add ons for the iPad and iPhone in the CES, noticeably some apps that turns your iPad to a portable blood pressure machine, then there's this pretty nifty app where you can actually manipulate golf balls with miniature machines inside using the touch screen and blue tooth. If this was not your fancy, you can check out some other accessories like the solar power iPad protector and many other oddities for gadget lovers.
And for show off, we have really felt the presence of major companies here showing off their muscles in preparation for the upcoming release of iPad 2 which is tentatively scheduled on March 2 by none other than Steve Jobs himself. Microsoft, Panasonic, RIM, Lenovo, Sony, Motorola are all present and have given the attendees a glimpse of what they worked on to at least capture some of the market that Apple has continuously dominated since the release of their tablet last 2010. The only question is, will their designs be enough to match that of the upcoming new version of the iPad that Apple has cooked up?
There's the PlayBook from RIM, for Motorola it's the XOOM that has a dual processor that runs on the new Andriod HoneyComb OS, Lenovo IdeaPad, and many more so called iPad killers. Most of them brandishing one of their most prominent tablet product feature and that is the front and back facing camera. But to answer all of this, rumor has it that the new Apple iPad will also have 2 cameras, will be much faster with an enhanced A5 processing chip. And from our sources, it is rumored that Apple will retain the same price and 10 hour battery life of the previous iPad!
In the UK, iPad 2 insurance is already something that customers are already searching for and even if the new iPad hasn't hit the stores yet, iPad 2 insurance is already ranking its way, suggesting a definite demand when the new version is released. For sure the major companies have done their best to try to match Apple, and in CES this was very clear. But will it have its desired effect when the time comes? That is something to see indeed.
