This article talks about the new gateway 12-inch tablet. This now allows computer users will
be able to twist and turn theier computer moniters. This product also has various items along with the lastest hardware and operating systems making it better for people who work in large corp's,that have many empolyees.
The price of this new tablet is a little under $2000 making it afforable however it is sold seperately from the computer. I think that this new product is better for people that work in big corp's that create big projects, because the persons working on the projects will now be able to work to together rather then just alone.

Dell’s newest update to its XPS M1710 series is Metallic Red. The system is the first laptop that carries Nvidia’s newest mobile GPU. This model includes multicolored lights built into the speaker grilles, air vents and lid, which play along with music apps and certain games. You can also set these lights to flash or stay in any color combination you want. The control panel for the lights, however, is somewhat hard to find. Although the cost is high at $3,498, but consumers say it “can not be matched” in its gaming capabilities. The XPS M1710 has a 17-inch wide screen monitor with a glossy finish. Its 1,900 x 1,200 resolution is a favorite with gamers, but may be distracting to those who try and complete text documents. This model includes headphone and microphone jacks, six USB ports as well as video output ports. Bluetooth is available for this model. The battery time, when tested lasted two hours and fifty-one minutes. This is ten minutes longer than Dell’s previous model.

This article discusses about the upcoming, and most talked about, iphone. Markitecture took a serbey and found that 77 percent of about 1300 people slightly knew about the iphone while 41 percent had a good idea of the iphone. Out of those people , only 6 percent of them said that they would purchase the iphone. Two-thirds of the group of people said that they would never in any chance purchase the iphone. For a lot of industries, they would consider six percent market share a failure but six percent is jsut fine for mobile phones. a the peak of the motorola Razr's lauch it reached six percent. One reason a lot of people will not by the iphone is because it will cost 500-600 dollars and people do not like the service it's for or the contract.

In this article it talks about how the increase in technology has helped students to cheat on tests. In some schools they have started banning ipods because students are downloading formulas and information to listen to on their ipod. Kids then are hiding their ipods in their clothes so they can listen to it during the tests. Some ipods or other media players are also voice recorders so students can record notes or answers to listen to during the tests. This is also a problem for teachers because they are a lot harder to notice on students. Schools have already banned the uses of cell phones to prevent students from text messaging answers to each other. With these increases in technology it has become easier and easier for students to find ways to cheat.

In this article it discusses how the new online blockbuster has increased in customers. Compared to their competitor Netflix, Blockbuster has nearly doubled the number of customers this quarter. However Blockbuster has suffered the most loss in this market and are still working up to making the online movie market more profitable. Many bloggers have also stated that Blockbuster online has much fewer movie selections as opposed to Netflix. Reviews like this could cause Blockbuster conflict in increasing the popularity of their online rental service.

Online music has hit another ripple. Pandora, an online radio station, is shutting down its contacts with the US. It says that due to new regulations they must individually sign with each record company and group. Pandora originally only allowed connection to the US, however people outside of the US started using US addresses. From this came the shut down of the US so Pandora could fix the problems and open up to individual companies. I find it interesting that in todays world an online radio station would have to go through so much to play its music. What i dont get however is that you had to pay ti use it. If you have to pay i dont understand the problem. The world seems to be taking a step back in order to go forward.

Everyone is always interested in new cellphones and their new inventions to them. The lastest cellphone coming out has a great speaker, better than other phones, that will project music better. "The look and design of the speaker is kept to suit the Samsung YP-K3 digital audio player. If you think it won’t do much of a justice to the sound quality, then let me make it clear that this tiny miny speaker is no less than the all-in-one speaker known as the Samsung YP-K5. Not just this, the 800mW Samsung YA-DS200 can also be used as a “protective hull” for your DAP and has an extra battery." New phones coming out seem to always have better (and smaller) technology to make our everyday lives easier.

With our wolrd of technology progressivly changeing its no wonder SONY and JVC are coming out with new high-def camcorders that record on built-in hard drives. No more slopy video cassetes that look awful. You can now see your own life in high-def. what more could you want. The beauty of hard-drive camcorders like is that you never have to rewind or fast forward; you can use an on-screen table of thumbnail images to jump to any scene for immediate playback, like a DVD. You never have to worry about recording over something by accident. And you never have to wonder if there’s a blank tape inside. Not only are they cool but theye evn look cool with their futuresitic structure. The only bad part is you will have to throw up a little over 1 grand for this puppy.

a recent technology article i read was about the new xbox now coming out with motion sensored controller to compete with the new play station 3. I think that sony has the upper hand at the moment because of all these new cool graphics and games, but when xbox comes out with the new controller i think that it will be good for halo 3. And in the end xbox will end up making the most money becasue they have better games

I read about the new Play Station 3. As one of the msot popular gaming systems Sony Playstation had to create a new system to keep up with the incredible graphics of XBox. The new Playstation 3 has better graphics and slightly different game play. Not only is it a gaming system but you can also connect to the internet on the gaming system. also a new feature for the PS3 is that everytime you turn on a game in automatically connects to the world wide online game where you can play other opponents. Previous systems have had online gaming but teh PS3 has revolutionized connectign everytime u sign onto the game.

Microsoft is contructing the first computer table. Allan han constructed the first prototype sing a bright blue table, a special screen, mirrors and cameras. Bill Gates approved the development of this project as soon as he heard it. the idea has been around for a while but never was put into play. Now with the right prototype, Stevie Bathichie and Andy Wilson's idea had become reality. Idea's for the betterment of this product flooded in from the microsoft staff to make this the next best product and in 2005 the final plans were made and the manufacturing began.
I liked this product. It is a good product to use, especially in the world of big business. With the right production this product will take the computer world by storm.
