Will Smartbook Outsmarts The Ipad 2
Among some of the up coming models include the Lenovo Skylight , HP Compaq Airlife 100 .These technologies offer a host of benefits beside the standard computer usage in terms of video, USB support , audio, , Bluetooth support, and a variety of WIFI capabilities, one example is that it offers capabilities for wireless wide area networks (WWAN), and smartphone related operating systems such as Google Android, Linux, etc, along with standard phone features. The problems however is that Windows will Not run on such Processors ,which means you cannot run Microsoft application
like the Microsoft office but instead used the Android or the upcoming Chrome OS which is specifically designed for Web-only application
Most of these devices are being designed for integration into the mobile carrier services, which are to become similar to the current smartphone data plans offered by Telcos where a wireless data plan will be sold to the consumer.
It is targeted at the Young Savvies today ,who are prone to using the Youtube ,facebook and the many Social networking sites available on the web
With the iPad recent launch at price of USD 499-00 , Newer smartphone (Not customized for Windows ) will have to go as low as USD 200 , The Lenovo skylight is also offering at around USD 499 ,basically there are Not many models to compete with the Apple IPad at the moment , but all these will change in near future , as many newer versions will be out soon , and since the Smartphone are not using the Window OS , New Application customized for application similar to MS Excel ,MS Word or New Games will add On to new Apps cost , and that might frightens Web’s user to forego the Smartbook instead .
It is therefore true , that some Manufacturers are also trying to resolve this Windows application requirement .Unlike other smartbooks , Haleron have come out with its windows version , the Haleron device uses neither the Tegra platform from NVIDIA nor the Snapdragon from Qualcomm. Instead, the product is powered by a VIA chip based on the ARM architecture and with a clock speed of 300MHz. The ultramobile device also features a NAND storage capacity of up to 4GB, as well as 128MB or 256MB of memory, LAN 10/100M and WiFi 802.11 b/g. In addition, the device is built with two internal speakers and support for SD cards. Among the operating systems that the Haleron Mini Swordfish smartbook supports are the Windows CE 6.0, Linux and even Windows XP, although the last option will require a processor upgrade.
