Will Microsoft release iPad Office or not?

The author’s posts are entirely his or her own (excluding the unlikely event of hypnosis) and may not always reflect the views of iPad App Review.

Hi, my name is Kreg Snit, I am the founder of best iPad Conversion Tool. I am glad to share my thoughts about iPad Office in ipad-app-review.net.

Recently, there are rumors that Microsoft will releaseiPad version Office, even though Microsoft has denied this rumor, lots of media still believe that Microsoft will soon release iPad edition Office. Since iPad has become Apple’s second-largest growth engine, while Microsoft Office accounts for 30% of Microsoft’s total revenue. The combination of both will naturally be worthy of our attention.

Here comes the question, will Microsoft release Office for iPad?

The rapid growth of the iPad has affect traditional PC business – Microsoft Windows territory. In the passing quarter, due to the impact of iPad, the notebook (mainly Windows) shipments fell by more than 20%, while Microsoft Windows revenue fell 6 percent in the previous quarter.

Since the iPad has become the mainstream of the Tablet PC, and the rapid growth of iPad is irreversible. Someone think maybe Microsoft shall release Office on iOS platform to compensate for the lack of Windows platform in smart phones and tablet PCs.

However, if iPad Office released, it is likely to accelerate the pace of iPad into the enterprise market, it will further increase the attractiveness of iPad to users. Personally, I think, before the release of Windows 8, Microsoft will not release the iPad version of Office.

Apple IOS 3 release on the 24 February 2012 (Steve Jobs’ birthday)

Apple iPad 3: Release am 24. Februar 2012 (Steve Jobs' Geburtstag)

In recent weeks there have been already speculation, from one release of the Apple iPad 3 in February 2012 have been, now seems to be likely this theory still a corner. Because of Taiwan there are at present to hear that you are at Apple a special date for the release of the Apple iPad 3 to have searched out, which is located in February 2012.

This is the 24 February 2012 with the late Apple founder of Steve Jobs was born on this day, so that the date at Apple is of great importance. One could now use this meaning the Apple iPad to bring 3 at the 24.02.2012 on the market. Probably it could be even expressly on Steve jobs, what course once again will provide in terms of marketing more buyers.

Even if there are only rumors at this point, it is quite trusted to Apple, that man on 24 February 2012 with the release of the iPad have 3. Finally, the date to be speculations would fit and be at the same time a tribute to Apple founder of Steve jobs, so you should see good conditions at Apple on this day. Whether there will be but in the end even so, this can be at the moment still not said.

As in the Android Entwicklungsblog read, is the theme, which is to find ice cream sandwich and was introduced with Android 3.x Android 4.x must belong in the future standard features of any smartphones, which has access to the Android market. In the past, one could say that it was only a real Android, namely naked Google’s distributed that, many manufacturers ja itself heavily intervened.

One of the reasons why Google now makes holo standard (in addition to the benefits for app developers) should be the following: manufacturers such as HTC, Samsung, and Motorola happy to put their own surface on the naked Android to create unique features. This is still possible in the future, Google stresses that it would create no screws developers. On the contrary, it should be even easier, so that manufacturers in the future are likely to have less difficulties, their own surfaces to a newer version of Android porting:

Formally separating these families will also make future merges easier for manufacturers updating to a new platform version theme, helping more devices update more quickly.

Google promises faster updates on the part of the manufacturer as a result. Good and real way, at least my opinion.

Google Wallet account data stored unencrypted

Google Wallet is Google’s product for mobile payment. About the app, you should pay his purchases conveniently and safely. So far apparently only the credit card number and security code are stored safely. The Smartphone stores all other data unencrypted and therefore these data are in theory easily read out.

Google WalletAndrew Hoog published his findings in a blog post of his employer of Viaforensics. Incomprehensible that encrypts your credit card details, so that there should be no problem with the remaining data similar to procedures.

Google Wallet allows the payment with your Smartphone. This must be just Google Wallet-enabled and a NFC chip in to help. Currently this works in the United States, but it is expected that payment also quickly is spread over NFC in Europe. Credit card companies and savings banks have already their own products in planning, but the cooperation I Smartphone manufacturers just an active system would allow, in which the user to confirm the actual transaction on the Smartphone yet. Special NFC is the deliberately low range, which is regarded as one of the largest safety factors for the wireless exchange of payment information. Must the customer 10 cm above the checkout keep his mobile phone to pay for it, is it more difficult to read the data within this 10 cm radius attackers.

When Google Wallet credit card data within the NXP chip are stored for Google Wallet of suitable smart phones. So far, this chip is considered safe. The remaining data about the accounts and payment processes to perform on the app, are, however, kept in multiple SQLite databases.

Only this data would are probably ideal to get still more from the owner. You know the last transactions and the last digits of the credit card and its validity, so you can lead above the owner of this information quite easily you is from an official agency and would therefore include contact with the person.

Google has even confirmed the results compared to NFC world, provides for its users, but no concrete danger because the data can be read according to Google only on gerooteten smartphones and even there, just the credit card number with the security code against external interventions would be safe. Nevertheless, taking the findings as a reason to change the app so that deleted data on gerooteten devices do not restore can. It is to accept that we continue supplying replacements if necessary and at least encrypted within the database structure places the transaction data stored on the phone. Technically, this should be no problem.

Brazil is not for nothing the Carnival country ever. Colorful color games, frhliche music and fiery temperament are in Brazil for decades tradition. Peugeot has nher therefore this site gewhlt to the own small future car Peugeot 208 to present and to combine quality with technology.

“Let Your Body Drive” States the new slogan under the Peugeot in the future act wants. The existing elegance and dynamics of Peugeot vehicles coupled with many new technical innovations the world expected United in a single car-

January 2012 planned Apple event in New York

Januar 2012: Apple-Event in New York geplant?

If Apple is planning a new event, then every time rumours abound like crazy, even in the current case this can be observed. Because as “AllThingsD” reported, it prepares event at Apple for a new, which should take place within this month. However unlike else in California, but this time in New York City, on the East coast of the United States.

But even now on the release of the Apple iPad 3 or a sneak peek at the Apple HDTV can think both will not be very likely, because one wants to get himself well the tradition of the keynotes in California at Apple. Rather be a theme at the Conference in New York City in the foreground to not even more so should we on the invoice, but considered a small problem at Apple.

The speech is iAd from Apple’s advertising platform, which could make a good start, then but no longer really stayed in operation. For this reason it can be assumed that Apple would like to try in the course of the Conference in New York City to give iAd new life, to again be a major competitor for Google to which has the mobile market of advertisements currently firmly in hand.

Test 2 and ion LeatherShell for iPhone 4 ion carbon cover for iPad

In this post I will that you “ion carbon cover for iPad 2″ and” ion LeatherShell imagine for iPhone 4″ – I have both protective covers for several weeks in use now. “” ION-factory is located in Hong Kong and manufactures high-quality – and sometimes outlandish sleeves – for BlackBerrys, iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and Samsung.

Whether the cases are what? Read on…

First of all, I must say that I consciously decided for the rather simple carbon protective covers, even though there are much fancier variations in the range. The carbon films (stickers) are not included, I had this before on the Apple iPad 2 and the Apple iPhone 4.

The ion of carbon cover for IOS 2 is 69,99 USD, the LeatherShell ion for iPhone 4 at 79,89 USD. I have ordered both cases directly in Hong Kong and received three weeks later, however, you will receive the cases of installation for example also at Amazon.

Before I the carbon cover for iPad 2 in use had, I the original smart cover of Apple have used. Here I liked especially the ease of use and waking up at the opening of the lid, the lack of protection for the reverse was always a blemish in mine eyes. On the Apple iPhone 4 I had next to a matte screen protector (as also in the iPad 2) only the carbon films on the front and back.

To it: I am thrilled by two protective covers. Convince the quality and appearance and also operation of devices within the covers is possible without any problems. I can therefore fully further recommend this if the price is quite low. For this you will receive a level of protection for your not quite cheap Apple device, which is somewhat exclusive as a 0815 Schutzhuelle…:-)

The function LeatherShell for Apple iPhone 4 at the Arriva…



The LeatherShell consists of a hard cover made of plastic, which is covered with a leathery material. The inside is ausgekleidet… with a velvety protection to protect against scratches



On the back in carbon effect is. All seams are more clean



The iPhone to fit perfectly in the case: nothing wobbles and nevertheless is perfectly protected…



Camera, hardware keys, and ports are saved out and can be efficiently in the envelope



The ion of carbon cover for Apple iPad 2 at the Arriva…



It also consists of a (thin) hard cover, which was disguised and offers also a perfect protection for the back of iPads without big aufzutragen…



The iPad 2 is absolutely perfekt…



The front elements can be folded to the prop and writing lyrics is erleichtert…



Here you can see how the hard cover on the metal frame of the Apple is iPad 2 “holding” – absolutely, perfekt…



The cut-outs for speakers and Dock Connector…



The cut-outs for camera and Hardwaretasten…



Visually very ansprechend…





Mac Pro update with AMD graphics chips

Mac Pro: Update mit AMD-Grafikchips?

Recently Apple has provided 10.7.3 beta download for members of the Apple Developer program the new Mac OS X, which might include, inter alia, references to a new product. This is to be pro to a new Mac, which already since some time every now and then has surfaced in the wake of speculation that so far but was not published.

In Mac OS X 10.7.3 Beta notes on new AMD graphics chips (from the series “Tahiti”) are but to find, because the correct drivers for the chips are in the scope of Mac OS X 10.7.3. This is an indication that we internally a updates deals from Apple with the idea in any case once, and inter alia also graphics chips made by AMD used to test.

However, the found notes are by no means be seen as a solid character in an upcoming update, because Apple has in the past updates of the Mac Pro worked on (which had seen also in clues in various beta versions), but brought them to the market. Thus one must wait first of all, how Apple will behave Pro on the possible update of the Mac in the near future.

Dancing with Kinect Star Wars

There are unfortunately still no release date of Kinect star wars, for it revealed the latest entry of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) surprising: in the game there will be dance mini-games. On the Star Wars world has been waiting for – emergency!

In this action game, based on the Star Wars universe, players use their body movements to perform activities that include dance tournaments, podracing, and Jedi PvP. [...] In the dancing mini game, some female characters perform suggestive moves (e.g., gyrating their brain/buttocks) and wear revealing outfits (partially exposed cleavage/buttocks).

One can imagine then something like this:

    Only a few games have managed so far to draw me really captivated. There is a difference, whether you a game very good or cool is or whether it is really of bind. To do this, it needs a really good mix of various elements which together create a suitable environment. Mirror’s edge was for me as a game: A knstlerischer outbreak from pure minimalism in a world of games huge. Gothic I and Gothic II made this also: Brachialer, dirty medieval flair in Germany at a time when the always strker role playing hochglanzpolierten. And EDGE creates why, I try to tell ausfhrlicher.

    EDGE hit me quite unexpected. “At the Stbern in the market I have the game in the category top free new” discovered and first ignored. The good reviews made me but curious and now I am very glad you introduce these games hit to you can. But enough of whole words, I now finally say wants what to gefllt me on EDGE. And it is the mixture of the following:

    Game idea

    The game idea at first glance looks de: A cube must be moved by one level. Finish. But the implementation is simple, but very good: the levels are like the whole game, very minimalist. The color white and strictly geometric shapes dominate it.

    Implementation

    To move to a world must be but boring. Not true! For sterile so you also have a level, they are so vivid. Itself must verndernde structures, einstrzende way, you will again and again berrascht and challenged. “Because it is good right, that one can at smaller breaks enjoy, where you completely stress-free by parts of a level wrfelt” (“rolls” here, not the character fits Yes Yes a cube is.) (As on says that it, when you move a cube by a game?)

    Music

    “Not only, but especially the music reminds of the classic Tron”. “Knows her the German band Kraftwerk”? Power plant was the first band, the electronic music as well. Their style is to this day. And the music in EDGE must arises as an excellent environment of power plant and Tron along with the great design!

    But stretching, the game simply makes Spa. “Since you must collect prisms, switch bed- or jump in a timely manner on flying blocks”. Or you play around with witty details: so as you can when you’re very adept balance the cube on an edge. The lnger one creates it, the more points you get at the end of the level. To get an enjoying good rating (A), at the end of the level should you quickly run through the level, collect all prisms and thus not die (i.e. fall down). And this but simple gameplay along with the fantastic environment makes EDGE to a games hit, which I am presenting you dear to the heart!

    Bottom line: Sure, not every player will appeal to EDGE. It made me but absolutely berzeugt and it’s for me a welcome change after the angry bird hype (now I can get from angry birds no longer). Retro-Futurism with good game idea combined results in a very good game.
