It was no less than Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, himself who took center stage and revealed the latest and much talked about tablet pc right now, the Apple iPad . Jobs carefully laid out one by one what makes the Apple iPad tablet so fascinating.

First of, browsing experience is at its greatest with the Apple iPad release given the large multi-touch screen it has. Users can get hold of the web pages as real as it gets with very clear and sharp colors and texts. It is also multi-directional, follows quick flips from landscape to portrait or vice versa. This touch screen itablet Apple came up with that lets users control and explore pages with so much ease. It works doubly well for reading and composing email messages with its large screen and keyboard.

Photo browsing is another plus for this tablet pc where one can enjoy his photos with a simple tap for opening any album, to view, zoom in or zoom out. Apple iPad tablet also serves as a digital photo frame by playing slideshows. It is also equipped with maps for navigation assistance, a calendar to organize schedules or remember important family dates, a built-in contacts list and a note-taking page. It also has around 140,000 apps available from the App store and iBooks. All of these are in iPad plus of course, what a better way to enjoy music, movies and videos (and more) but with an iPod app and quick access to iTunes also built-in in this tablet pc.

Beyond doubt, the Apple iPad release provided so much more feature than what a smartphone, laptop and iPod can ever give in just one packaging. (Apple tablet pc price starts at $499).

The Lenovo IdeaPad U1 almost looks similar to the newest model of laptops released last . . . → Read More: First Glimpse at the Lenovo IdeaPad U1 Hybrid]]> First seen at the recently concluded International CES event in Las Vegas, the Lenovo IdaPad U1 Hybrid is really a showstopper in its truest sense. It received one of the nine Best of CES Awards – Best in Computer and Hardware.

The Lenovo IdeaPad U1 almost looks similar to the newest model of laptops released last year but the idea behind it is rather complex and multifunctional at the same time. First of all, it has two parts, it has a “snapdragon-powered” OS tablet that is very solid and polished-looking. Weight and thickness is generally acceptable. It has speaker, webcam, video player, 3G and Bluetooth. It also has orientation switching features much like how you use an iPhone and this makes it really special to have.

The detached base automatically boots up to Windows 7 once the tablet is connected to it. Now the Lenovo IdeaPad functions like typical laptop anyone uses for internet browsing, creating documents, playing music videos and the likes. Separately though, Lenovo mentioned the two can run in parallel to each other. So one can really use either of the two whenever he pleases (just supply a monitor to the base).

This pioneering Lenovo laptop is said to hit the market by the second quarter but confirmation still awaits Lenovo users and laptop buffs.

If the release pushes through, 2010 will mark another breathtaking year for Apple Macbook users all around the globe.

The free Microsoft Antivirus code named Morro is reportedly to be ready in the coming weeks. The news came from notifications sent to the free antivirus’ beta test participants. This is a much awaited release to determine how the free antivirus will perform once it leaves it beta version.

Middle of the year, Microsoft began the beta version of the free antivirus and has accepted people who are interested to join the testing. Its Microsoft Security Essentials offer protection for one’s pc which is designed not to disrupt computer use allowing the user to concentrate on whatever he is doing. It aims to provide high-quality service very discreetly without the annoying alerts and reminders experienced with other free antivirus software. The upgrades and updates are also set automatically to get full pc protection.

The Microsoft Security Essentials is a breakthrough for many users especially that it comes for free. However, Microsoft created this product with certain limitations. It will protect the pc from viruses only on a basic level. Beta test users of the free Microsoft Antivirus still require the use of certain services found only on high end software products.

The free antivirus from Microsoft has reportedly been receiving good evaluation from its beta users. They find it running smoothly and quietly on the background almost unnoticeable. The Microsoft Security Essentials is likely to perform well if it can maintain its current good reviews.
