Toshiba Will Release a Slate to Compete With Apple iPad

Posted by Kenny On June - 25 - 2010


Toshiba the 5th largest computer company is currently working on two slate PC’s to complete with Apples tremendously early successful number of iPad units sold. It will introduce one slate on a Google Android platform and another more mainstream device with the Windows 7 Platform

The Toshiba tablet announcement was confirmed by Jeff Barney, manager of digital products for Toshiba America, as the company considers a variety of ‘iPad slaying’ attributes, including a dual screen design with a 10 inch display that runs windows 7.

Toshibas enthusiasm for slate devices is apparent with Barney stating that the firm sees that there is strong market for these devices. Many people are forecasting 50 million Slate devices will be shipped in 2014. To help its cause Toshiba also said it is lining up content and distribution partners.

An insider at Toshiba has told us exclusively that they are working with major partner Intel on integrating their latest WiDi technology that would allow their two Slates to connect wirelessly over HDMI to your Television to your television directly. Intel showed this at the CES this year, and a few Toshiba laptops already have adapted this functionality. They also are looking at using Intel’s ARM technology. ARM based ultra-mobile devices will surpass x86-based devices by 2013, a reversal from this past year when 90 percent of the ultra-mobile devices were x86-based.

Toshiba is the latest incumbent into a wide array of Slate announcements and will need to separate its design and product specifications to compete with the other Slates in production. The HP Slate, the Dell Mini 5, the Notion Ink Adam, Microsoft Courier, Google Slate and Neofonie WePad are all in the process of being developed and should see commercial releases from June to December of this year.

The Slate market is under a revolution trail blazed by Apples iPad runaway success with sales. Whether the market can sustain the demand for the products is another question entirely.

Slates can catch on to a wider audience then Netbooks were able to do and accomplish day to day tasks in key markets as an effective work tool. Think of a inventory controller at a small or medium sized grocery store, with the right app and slate, they do not need so many other devices, when they can take inventory, order new products and communicate with other devices on the network. Or think how much time an air line pilot will save. Instead of having an armload of maps, flight schedules, weather reports and everything else, a portable slate to have all of that information made available makes their lives easier.

Slates are still in their infancy, for all of the hype regarding them, only one real slate is on the market right now, the iPad. Consumers and markets have shown there is allot of attention on this item, as international sales have been scaled back to the end of May and eBay sellers are making 200.00 mark-ups on every iPad. The initial demand is high for the iPad is high, but whether or not the market will accept other slate devices competed against a mega-company like Apple is all up in the air.

For Slates to be viable, they will have to offer features that the competition does not have, or be based at a totally different audience. The Microsoft Courier seems geared towards, production and design, while the Entourage Edge is more of an academic device. The Neofonie We-Pad seems geared towards an entertainment device, but partners up with independent developers and business to foster direct relationships with the customer. If Dell, HP, HTC, Google et all release the same kind of design, with all of the same touted features, such as HDMI, Camera, Flash, Video Streaming, that is not enough to differentiate from the competition.

Verizon Reverse Cell Phone Lookup Services

Posted by Kenny On June - 19 - 2010


Have you ever got online and tried to do a reverse cell phone number search on a Verizon number? You can go right to their website and try to do it. But the results that come directly from Verzon’s site don’t include mobile numbers. So, what can you do then? Is there a free reverse cell phone lookup service for Verizon numbers?

The short answer to that question is no. None of the major wireless carriers offer free reverse cell phone number search directories available to the public. These numbers are not a matter of public domain and the carriers don’t make them available for free. Verizon does offer a way to do free reverse searches, but only on landline and listed numbers.

Your best free option is to see if the number is available online somewhere. Just enter the number into Google, MSN, or Yahoo and see if you get a match. Most times this is a
fruitless task, but it doesn’t take long and if you can find the information you are looking for, it won’t cost you anything. Maybe some forum, social website, or classified ad site will somehow display the owner’s information connected with the number.

But if this doesn’t work, you can turn to one of the paid directories. If you really want to get to the bottom of the owner information behind a wireless number, at some point you’ll have to come to terms with the fact that this information won’t be free. Mobile numbers aren’t a matter of public record. The sites that offer this information available to the public have to pay a fee to the major wireless carriers, who own and compile this data. This fee is then passed on to you or me if we want access to this information.

But since these sites get their data right from major mobile phone carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint, it is both very accurate and current. They also put the consumer’s mind at ease by offering a no-questions asked money-back guarantee.

So, what can you expect with these paid sites? You can first search the site to see if the number is maintained in the database. If it is, the site will tell from what location the number is serviced and if the name is available. Then you can decide if you wish to pay for the results. The results will reveal:

o Phone owner name and current address
o Household members
o Phone company and carrier
o Possible neighbors and relatives
o Issuing location with map
o Other phone numbers belonging to owner
o Previous addresses

So, if you need to do a reverse cell phone lookup for any reason, please keep in mind that there are no free directories for wireless phones. But there are a few very reputable directories that can come through virtually every time. One of the best and most trusted is referenced below.
