Information about Technology

The Web is filled with blogs on almost every topic. Tech blogs specifically are a dime a dozen, but there is the elite group of tech outlets that truly stand out from the crowd. Despite the extravagant number of mobile applications out there, this space is still relatively young. What that means is that users and developers are still learning the ropes of what works and what doesn’t? With over 300,000 apps for the IPhone, one of the biggest challenges that many companies are trying to overcome, is discovery. This is a challenge for the IPhone user who is overwhelmed by the vast selection of apps, but it is also becoming a serious problem for the developer who spends time and money developing an app, that more often than not, ends up falling into the black hole of the App Store.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is an all around fantastic tablet that would serve you loyally as a Web surfing, music listening, video watching, and app exploring device. By now, I don’t need to tell you that tablets are the next. They are all over the place and everyone seems to be making them. Having said that, until now, tablets were primarily viewed and used by consumers and less as business enterprise devices. This is true about the Pad with its lack of multitasking the Samsung Galaxy Tab with its overall plastic toy-like build. The iPhone has become something of a phenomenon in the mobile phone industry, with most other mobile manufacturers having to bring out offerings that are able to compete with the iPhone in many aspects.  It has become something of a bench mark. But what few people seem to consider is the impact that the IPhone has had on the wider technological community.  It is something that should be considered though as it is clear that the influence of the IPhone is far from limited to the mobile industry.

By now, it is no secret that 2011 is expected to be the year of tablets. It is also expected to be the year of Android, the year or mobile advertising, and the year of 4G technologies, but those are topics for another time.
