The Apple App store is recieving alot of flak over it's restrictive measures.

Like every other person in the planet, you are probably just as curious about the latest features that the iPad would bring. Although like most consumers, I could not help feeling disappointed that iPad and iPhone shares the same applications.

If you buy an iPad which is significantly more expensive than the iPhone only to view iPhone applications on a bigger screen, then it seems like they are just pulling your leg right? The only advantage that we have is being able to read ebooks in an easier and fancier way by flipping through the pages in a high tech kind of way.

I guess more and more developers are seeing the problem with sharing the same application for the iPhone and iPad, and so they are starting to develop software that are specifically built for iPad applications.

However, not to burst your bubble or anything, but iPad also shares another thing with the iPhone that most software developers wish they would not: the iPhone DRM. It stands for Digital Rights Management which prohibit applications or programs from being used without the approval of Apple.

What’s wrong with DRM if they are only meant to protect Apple’s copyrights over their devices? However, they are already inhibiting actions that are not under the copyright infringement law. Buying an iPad is like buying a calculator, you use it for what it is made for, which is to compute numbers, but you cannot do anything with it other than that. It is like an old-fashioned person telling you that creating softwares are just for smart people.

Technology simply is not the same as before. People should be given the right to do whatever they like for something that they paid for already. If you buy a new laptop, you probably installed different softwares, customized your background, desktop image and everything and all those crazy things only you could ever come up with. However, with the iPad, you have to buy everything from the Apple App store. What if they do not have what you are looking for? Or what if that particular software is available from a third-party applications that would offer it for a cheaper price or even for free? There is not even a trial-version for Apple apps, it’s either you buy them or not.

Is apple inhibiting competition and creativity that any ideal market should have? Although they say that they would do things fairly, a number of developers have already complained about their applications being rejected by the Apple App store. So where is the justice in that? It simply is like another television, you just buy it to watch, but you cannot reopen and customize it, like you would in a car. But this is a technological gadget being used to hamper one’s growth and creativity. With all the research and technological advancements that we have right now, and now someone would simply tell us to just go back to the basics and stop striving for more because the DRM technologies just would not allow it.

Apples Iphone and Google's Nexus One will be going Head to Head

Google has recently launched the Nexus One to compete against other mainstream smart phone brands like the Motorola Droid, Palm Pre, and Iphone. The Nexus has been specifically targeted to compete with the Iphone because it is still the leading brand in the smart phone industry. The specs on both these phones are hard to compare, and we’ll list some of them below.

Iphone

The storage capacity for the new Iphone is about 16GB and the Nexus provides expandable memory from 4GB to 32GB depending on how much money you have to spend. Both batteries have their strengths and weakness, Nexus allows you to talk for 2 hours more while Iphone provides a longer standby time. Nexus has the advantage when it comes to cameras though because it is equipped with a 5.0 megapixel camera compared to the 3.0 from the Apple Iphone. However, Iphone provides video editing software that can’t be found on most other smart phones.

Google Nexus One

Wireless connection and GPS are now available on most phones, generally they have similar specs so they are very hard to compare between two competing brands. Voice commands are also enabled, and there is no set sign to tell that either one is superior in that area. The video formats that Iphone supports are MPEG 4, H.264, MP4, M4V, and MoV along with the most common audio formats. Nexus has a smaller video/audio format capacity and it supports MGEP 4, H.264, and H.263.

Applications from both these phones come from two very different places. An Iphone user would by his programs from an iTunes application store, while a Nexus One customer would purchase his products from the Android market. Both of these application markets have a large selection of programs to choose from, they are very different from each other but one isn’t considered better than the other.

Google has a excellent record for services so in that department it is rated better than the Apple products. However, Apple guarantees quality user experience to people all over the world and is famous for its rich application and media systems. A Nexus is much simpler to get if you live in the US, aside from that they are presently only selling them online, another downside is that Google hardware servicing does not have a very presence in many countries. Apple on the other hand has excellent servicing systems all over the world and can guarantee all of they’re products.

The Ipad

The Apple Ipad is a product meant to take the place of both a laptop and a smart phone. Its interface is slick with multitouch glass wrapped in lightweight aluminum. The price is fairly affordable and can be found at most Apple shops for $499. This device is too big for a pocket yet to small for a desktop, so it should mainly be used for emails, internet browsing, videos, photos, games, and eBooks.

A number of companies have tried this type of product and failed, but the Apple has succeeded with the Ipad in the first attempt. The reason for this is the experience of an Ipad, holding one of them is will feel different than any netbook or smart phone you’ve ever held. The screen is large enough to comfortable browse the internet and watch movies while traveling, yet it is also small enough to easily fit inside most bags. It is also extremely thin, but the solid aluminum frame is more than enough to keep it from breaking.

Ipad compared to Iphone

No physical keyboard is present, but the IPad contains software that will give you a virtual touch-keyboard so you can chat and type messages with ease. Speakers are also present, although they are hard to see, and can deliver good quality sound. An Ipad can be used almost anywhere, but it is best used while having it on your lap or reclining it on your arm.

Software and graphics are clean and crisp on the interface. Touching the screen will bring about different commands depending on what program you are running. An Ipad requires larger hand gestures compared to smartphone because the screen is bigger, so that may take some getting used to unless you have previously worked with a touch screen laptop. Its performance is also very fast and programs can be opened and closed at flying speeds.

Overall, buying a Ipad would be a good investment because at the moment there isn’t anything like it on the market. Apple has taken a computer and made it more personal, crossing it between a laptop and phone. However, if you need a fully functioning laptop then an Ipad will not be able to suit your needs because it is mainly meant for casual internet use and media. They do replace a netbook quite well though because they are roughly the same size and can perform many of the same functions. The price is also fairly similar. Free comparison websites such as Broadband Genie have up-to-date SIM for iPad price data, along with the different services available, such as iPad pay and go.
