With Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's unveiling of some new Windows-enabled tablet PCs during his keynote address, it became clear that 2010 will be the year for tablet computers to finally shine. We talk to the editor of MacRumors.com about the much anticipated Apple tablet computer, and give you an inside look at three tablets that debuted at CES 2010: HP's TouchSmart tm2, the enTourage eDGe, and Freescale Semiconductor's Smartbook Tablet reference.
iFixit ran through all the parts used in the iPad—and how much they cost—but TechRestore's stop-motion video shows just pure love for the device. Unless you only watch half-way through—in which case, suckah got what it deserved! [TechRestore via TUAW via Liliputing]
Dell's latest Android tablet designs, now named "Streak," are much different—much more iPad like—than the Mini 5 we saw a few months back at CES.That's not necessarily a bad thing at all.The Mini 5 used to look (and may still look) like an oversized Android handset. But now, the newly leaked Dell Streak 7 and 10 appear to be nearly indistinguishable from the iPad's bezeled-but-grippable LCD in a frame design—at least from a head-on view. It will be interesting to see if and when the Streak 5 will see the same redesign.According to documents acquired by Engadget, the Streak 5 will be available this summer, the Streak 7 will be available later this year and the Streak 10 is looking at 2011. I was impressed by Dell's work with the Mini 5. Let's hope this redesign only makes the line better. The world needs a fantastic Android tablet. [Engadget]
Here is how I do it, the iPad comes with AT&T microsim, I use that to trace on the starhub sim card and then cut it out accordingly. btw I used a sissors to cutNo Setting needed after you insert the sim card, no need to change anything, it will work for Starhub not sure for other service providersWord of caution - cut slowly and always check with the AT&T sim card and the iPad adapterhere is the picture(http://www.neofamily.com/ipad/Sim1.jpg)(http://www.neofamily.com/ipad/Sim2.jpg)(http://www.neofamily.com/ipad/Sim3.jpg)(http://www.neofamily.com/ipad/iPad2.png)(http://www.neofamily.com/ipad/iPad3.png)(http://www.neofamily.com/ipad/iPad4.png)(http://www.neofamily.com/ipad/iPad6.png)(http://www.neofamily.com/ipad/iPad8.png)
Looks like that iPad Camera Connection Kit isn't as overpriced as we thought; not only does it have USB headset and keyboard support, but one enterprising user has hooked up an external hard drive using the dongle as well. Max Shay has an exhaustive walkthrough at his personal website, but the gist of the matter is that you'll need a jailbroken iPad, a split-USB cable to give that drive some extra juice, and a terminal of some sort (Max used his MacBook) to trick the iPad into mounting your external storage, after you use SSH to tunnel through. The result is an unwieldy wired assembly we wouldn't be caught dead with in public, but perhaps useful in a pinch -- or as the latest proof of what the iPad could do if only Apple would let it. Video after the break.
