Some of the information that we get for the new iPad Pro includes bigger display size at 12.9-inch display size and it will be running the same A8X processor as iPad Air 2 along with ultra high resolution display and a 7mm thick form factor that is similar to existing iPads.

The iPad shipments was predicted to fall 54.5 percent quarter after quarter to just 9.8 million units during the first calendar quarter of 2015 according to often-reliable KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. He also points out that the lack of new applications and the tablet saturation in the market as his basis for his prediction.

The new video commercials of the South Korean company highlight the strengths of Galaxy Tab S in comparison to another tablet. These include high contrast ratio offered by its Super AMOLED display and its multitasking ability.

According to the first commercial, Super AMOLED display of Galaxy Tab S offers 100 times higher contrast compared to many LCD Tabs. Instead of the usual 1,000:1 contrast, the Galaxy Tab S gives 100,000:1 and the Super AMOLED shows all the fine details of the image which many LCD screens cannot do, giving high accuracy and quality even in dark images. You can see the commercial below:

In the second commercial Samsung highlights the multitasking ability of its Galaxy Tab S. Here, the dad wants to watch sports while the baby wants to watch a cartoon film but the tablet they have cannot open both the apps at once. The tablet is then swapped with a Galaxy Tab S which allows displaying of both the apps at once on the screen and both baby and dad are happy.

The other tablet shown in the commercial has not been named but it looks like Apple’s iPad Air that has an LCD display and no facility for multitasking. Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 in June this year. They are the first tablets with Super AMOLED displays.

OS expertise brings desktop multitasking to iPad

What would it not appear as if Apple allows you to add multiple apps aspect by aspect on the iPad? Apple’s competitors wish to rib at the iPad’s lack of desktop-class multitasking. However many folk’s area unit victimization the iPad to urge work done, which begs the antique question: is a smaller amount very more?

Imagine OS X’s Mission management ported to the iPad, and you’ve got the prison-breaking tweak OS expertise. Its associate degree bold concept is dead with shocking tactfulness.

After putting in OS expertise from Cydia, your jail broken iPad can take you on a visible tour of the tweak with some useful tips. You’ll have up to 5 desktops that may be managed very like they’re in OS X. Apps is “snapped” to an aspect of the screen to permit a situation just like the Twitter and Safari apps running next to every alternative.

Everything regarding OS expertise is gesture-driven, together with rearrangement and dragging apps in and out of desktops. Most of the gestures are pretty instinctive to select up.

The biggest one I had bother understanding was that you simply swipe down with four fingers to reveal associate degree app’s window bar. From there, it’s attainable to travel full screen, snap a free-floating app to the aspect of the screen, or alter the window’s size.

When associate degree app is open and not full screen, swiping up with four fingers brings up the Mission management interface that has been simulated therefore well. A four-finger touch of the screen at any time discloses your home screen, that currently features a fuzzy background and is treated a lot of like launch pad in OS X.

It’s obvious that Apple’s hardware has developed powerful enough to form this level of multitasking attainable. On the iPad Air, I noticed zero lag or bugs whereas victimization multiple apps directly. A live preview of each app presently opened is seen once gazing all of your open desktops that speaks to the performance capabilities of the A7 chip.

Throughout my years covering the prison-breaking scene, I’ve discovered that there are 3 types of tweaks. There are a unit those that fix very little provocations for those with OCD tendencies, and also the tweaks that do cool stuff however have little or no attractiveness to most of the people.

The last kind is my favorite kind to cover: the very forward-thinking concepts that even get derived by Apple typically. OS expertise falls somewhere between the second and third kind.

It’s rare that you simply see a prison-breaking tweak with this level of thought and polish. Most of the people can in all probability feel weird victimization it initially owing to however completely different it makes elementary navigation, however that doesn’t mean it’s not value attempting yourself.

Apple to fetch split-screen multitasking to iPad with iOS 8

 

Apple’s next-generation mobile OS might offer iPad users the flexibility to run — and consider — 2 applications at an equivalent time, because of new multi-app split screen support, per a replacement rumour.

The new feature is claimed to be within the works for “iOS eight,” Apple’s anticipated next major unharness of its mobile platform, consistent with 9to5Mac. The feature has allegedly been planned with Apple’s life-size  9.7-inch iPad models in mind, as well as the iPad Air, however aforesaid it’s “unclear” whether or not multi-application support are going to be accessible on the 7.9-inch iPad mini.

Details on however such a feature may work stay unknown; however it had been aforesaid that users can be ready to additional simply drag text, video or pictures from one application to a different.

In the initial days of iOS, multitasking support was restricted to basic background functions for Apple-built applications. True multitasking support did not arrive till iOS four, and then called iPhone OS 4.0, that allowed developers to run specific processes within the background.

 

But up to now, iOS has solely been capable of showing one application at a time; exploit the iPad as primarily a “unitasking” device for viewing content.

The ability to look at multiple applications quickly and “snap” them into place on a restricted screen size is presently offered by Microsoft’s Surface tablet platform. AppleInsider had the chance to check out a Surface two last fall, and located that the power to run 2 applications on the screen quickly was a key advantage over Apple’s iPad in terms of productivity.

Dual-window multitasking on Microsoft’s Surface 2 is restricted to solely 2 apps at a time, and could be a landscape-only affair. Windows square measure forced to the left and right of the show, because the 16:9 screen is just too slim to permit multitasking in portrait mode.

 

Apple is anticipated to formally unveil iOS 8 at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference, which can start up on June 2 with a keynote appearance. Whereas increased multitasking support could also be a key feature of iOS eight on iPad, it’s reported that new health-related functions could also be the shaping side of the next-generation package on iPhone.

Samsung is Apple’s top Display Supplier- Reports

Samsung and Apple seem to be fighting on Patents, however the Asian giant still supplies the largest number of displays to Apple.

Market research firm DisplaySearch has produced a new report via CNET and ZNET Korea. According to this report, Samsung supplied 5.2 million units of high-resolution 9.7-inch panels, which are used in the two famous apple devices. iPad air and 4^th generation iPad are the two devices by apple that will use the display panels by Samsung.

It is important to note that Samsung and Apple are in the news regularly because of their rivalry and complaints over infringement. That is why apple is expected to have generated a lack of trust in Samsung because of these continuous reports of tension between the two giants. However, the technological advancement of Samsung has bagged it the place of biggest supplier of display panels for Apple.

The percentage of total panels shipped to apple by Samsung is said to be 62%. On the other hand, a long time partner of Apple, LG, has shipped 38% of the panels to the company. It is also been stated that apple turned its attention towards Samsung for its displays of Retina iPad mini because of the low yields problem faced by LG displays. 

Apple and Samsung are now the two biggest competitors in the market, but still we do not expect Apple to cut back on its purchases of Display panels from Samsung. Therefore, we can expect them to continue this partnership in the future until Apple finds an alternative for Samsung’s technology and production capacity.

Nintendo"s To Launch A Smartphone Service As Profits Decline

On 7 may nintendo’s president Satoru Iwata said that they would be starting an internet based service for nintendo. This service is to be targeted towards smartphones and tablet devices. He said that this service will provide famous nintendo games to the fans, games like Mario Kart would be a part of this new service. More details are to surface in the near future. This is not very surprising since E3 2014 is to be held in less than a month. Nintendo probably has something planned for the next E3 conference.

In January 2014 nintendo showed interest  in launching an application for smartphone and tablet users within 2014.

 

This is not a bad move for nintendo, after all their games would definitely sell really well, and could be incredibly popular if they are made available on smartphones and tablets. This move may have been influenced by the fact that the japanese market is favoring smartphones and tablets over portable consoles like the Nintendo 3DS. iPhones, iPads, and Android devices are taking over Japan and even their regional phone carriers are taking note of the demand.

Nintendo’s latest home console didn’t fare well either. The WiiU failed to attract a mass audience and had low sales. Video game manufacturers didn’t want to make games for the WiiU because even if a game were to be successful on the WiiU, it would still not be a good decision financially to make games for it. Licensing fees and other expenses for game development are so high these days that a game has to sell really well for the studio to make another one. Because of the WiiU, nintendo is now at the verge of abandoning its hardware business and enter the smartphone market. Unless of course they can make another console as innovative as the Nintendo Wii. Lets see what nintendo has planned for this year’s E3 conference on 10 June 2014.
