Apple iPad 2 - Thinner, lighter, and full of great ideas.

Once you pick up iPad 2, it’ll be hard to put down. That’s the idea behind the all-new design. It’s 33 percent thinner and up to 15 percent lighter, so it feels even more comfortable in your hands.2 And it makes surfing the web, checking email, watching movies, and reading books so natural, you might forget there’s incredible technology under your fingers.

Dual-core A5 chip.

It’s fast, times two.Two powerful cores in one A5 chip mean iPad can do twice the work at once. You’ll notice the difference when you’re surfing the web, watching movies, making FaceTime video calls, gaming, and going from app to app to app. Multitasking is smoother, apps load faster, and everything just works better.

Two cameras. And a big hello to FaceTime for iPad.

You’ll see two cameras on iPad — one on the front and one on the back. They may be tiny, but they’re a big deal. They’re designed for FaceTime video calling, and they work together so you can talk to your favorite people and see them smile and laugh back at you.3 The front camera puts you and your friend face-to-face. Switch to the back camera during your video call to share where you are, who you’re with, or what’s going on around you. When you’re not using FaceTime, let the back camera roll if you see something movie-worthy. It’s HD, so whatever you shoot is a mini-masterpiece. And you can take wacky snapshots in Photo Booth. It’s the most fun a face can have.

Superfast graphics.Go, gamers, go.

With up to nine times the graphics performance, gameplay on iPad is even smoother and more realistic. And faster graphics help apps perform better — especially those with video. You’ll see it when you’re scrolling through your photo library, editing video with iMovie, and viewing animations in Keynote.

Battery life keeps on going. So you can, too.

Even with the new thinner and lighter design, iPad has the same amazing 10-hour battery life.1 That’s enough juice for one flight across the ocean, or one movie-watching all-nighter, or a week’s commute across town. The power-efficient A5 chip and iOS keep battery life from fading away, so you can get carried away.

iPad Smart Cover. Designed for iPad. And vice versa.

iPad 2 and the iPad Smart Cover are made for each other. Literally.4 We designed the iPad Smart Cover to work side-by-side with iPad — and on top and underneath it, too. Smart magnetic technology built into each really pulls them together. The iPad Smart Cover falls perfectly into place and stays put to protect your iPad screen, yet doesn’t add bulk to its thin, light design. Open the Smart Cover and your iPad wakes up instantly. Close it and your iPad goes to sleep automatically. And here’s another smart part: It transforms into the perfect movie-watching, game-playing, web-surfing stand. It comes in 10 bright colors — including five in rich, aniline-dyed Italian leather.5 Choose your favorite, and your iPad will be smart all around.

Has Apple just hammered the final nail in RIM’s Blackberry coffin?

Posted by Paul Hanley

RIM and their Blackberry handsets are starting down the slippery slope that Nokia started down a couple of years back. Their handset market share has seen a steady decline since the rise and rise of Apple's iPhone and Google's Android handsets.

Corporate customers are being forced to move away from Blackberry because their top execs want to be cool and to be cool means iPhone. Android phones now account for over 36% of the handset market in the US.

The one thing that has kept Blackberry cool with the kids has been Blackberry Messenger. This app allows you to communicate with your friends either 1 to 1 or 1 to many without impacting on your monthly txt allowance - this was a pretty unique feature on any handset regardless of operating system.

Unfortunately for Blackberry, Steve Jobs killed off Blackberry Messenger with one of the many product announcements at yesterdays (06/06/2011) Apple Keynote presentation at WWDC. One of the new features of Apple's iOS 5 was Apple Messenger - can you guess what it does ?? So by basically copying what Blackberry Messenger does and integrating in to the latest version of their OS, Apple now have the coolest handset with the coolest app that all the kids want. Why would they want to stick with their Blackberry's with its plain Jane OS and a distinct lack of apps (15k compared to 200k on Android and 300k on iOS).

Blackberry have the possibility of getting at least back on good terms with its corporate customers with their new Playbook tablet. Using RIMs new tablet OS called QNX at least brings Blackberry up to speed with the current crop of tablet OS's from Apple and Google. The QNX OS is also supposed to be making its way over to the Blackberry handsets possibly late 2011 to early 2012.

Let’s hope it's not a case of too little too late.....

Is Android Honeycomb really ready for the big time?

Posted by Paul Hanley

The Android operating system from Google is currently the "hot" OS for mobile phone handsets. In the US alone, handsets running the Android operating system now command a 36.4% market share - well above the likes of Apple & RIM.

In 2010 Apple managed the impossible and created a tablet product that people actually wanted use never mind purchase. They have and continue to sell lorry loads of the tablet product. Google of course didn't want to miss out and a number of products started to surface from dubious sources in the far east that thought it would be great to put the current versions of the handset variant of Android on flaky hardware and sell out at below the iPad power house. These products of course didn't have Googles blessing and shipped without access to the official Android App Marketplace and didn't come pre-installed with the Google apps that make Android such a compelling proposition such as Maps, Navigation and Talk etc. It was only when Samsung stepped in to the market with some quality hardware in the form of the Galaxy Tab that the Android OS gained any real credibility but then the Samsung Galaxy Tab wasn't really anything other than a really big 7" Android phone.

In early 2011, Google announced to the world Android 3.0 or Honeycomb. This was to be the first version of the Android OS that was designed specifically for tablet based hardware and Motorola were at the event with the Xoom in hand to show off the new OS. Whilst the launch of the new Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS was to a big fanfare and Motorola was ready to ship Xoom's in the US at the end of February the operating system simply wasn't ready. Also, Google only really had Motorola ready with hardware - which is great if your Apple but not if you're anybody else besides Apple!

So March came and went and Motorola was stuck with warehouses full of unsold Xoom stock if you believe the reports. The Xoom still hadn't started shipping anywhere else outside of the US either. Thankfully April came and so did the Android Honeycomb tablets in the form of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer (a twist on the tablet form factor in the respect that it was designed from the ground up to take a keyboard which made the unit in to an Android netbook as well as doubling the battery life to 16hrs), the Acer A500 Iconia and Samsung announced their new Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 tablets which were going to be even more anorexic than the already svelte Apple iPad 2.

Whilst having the hardware available for customers to purchase is great, if you don't have a coherent OS and apps to run on it you are pretty much screwed (which might be why we have read stories of Motorola having warehouses full of stock that they can't ship).

Now Android, as an OS is quite clever. Whilst the Apple iPad will run most of the apps available for iPhone, unless they are written specifically for the iPad, all they do is scale up by a factor of two and usually look pretty blocky - and that's if they scale up at all, you could be left with a really nice app running in the middle of your iPad screen the size of an iPhone screen..... which is nice, not!!! Android on the other hand has been designed from the ground up to run at different resolutions. Unfortunately this is where the Android 3.0 Honeycomb problems begin.

Because the majority of Android apps run just fine on Honeycomb there is no real incentive for app developers to write code that is specific for Honeycomb. Let me give you some examples - apps from Google such as Browser, YouTube, Mail, Gmail, Earth, Maps and Navigation are fantastic because they take in to account the screen layout and resolution of Honeycomb and are written to make the most of it but if you look at even big hitting apps such as Facebook and eBay there is a whole lot of screen real estate which simply just isn't used - basically because the app has been designed for a mobile phone sized screen and resolution. Of course they work fine but you may as well just use them on your Android phone as you don't really get any benefit from having them on the bigger screen.

Also the fact that Google have already announced a re-amalgamation of the 2.x and 3.x versions of the Android OS in to version 4.x or Ice Cream Sandwich as it is being code named probably means that Googles aspirations of having a serious competitor to the Apple iPad are probably not going to be realised until later in the year.

There is no doubt that what Google has with Android as an OS is a fantastic place for them to be and in such a short period of time has gone from zero to pretty much what a lot of people consider hero. The Android App Marketplace is growing at an amazing rate and will surely at some point in the not so distant future surpass the might Apple App Store in the sheer number of apps that are available. Honeycomb and the hardware that it runs on are also the first signs of Google taking the fragmentation of its handset OS variants into serious consideration and is only allowing certain hardware partners access to the Android 3.x Honeycomb OS.

Of course there may well be a summer of love in 2011 for Android 3.x Honeycomb based products as Asus can't build enough of its Eee Pad Transformer product to fulfil demand and the mighty Samsung are about to launch their hardware entry in to Honeycomb arena. Hopefully by the end of August the Android marketplace will be chock full of apps specifically designed to take advantage of what Honeycomb has to offer. Time will tell.....

The Monday Rant! Is Apple now the biggest IT brand in the world?

Posted by Paul Hanley

I bet Steve Jobs had a really good weekend and woke up with a big smile on his face on both Saturday and Sunday morning.

On Friday, the 3rd of June 2011 Apple became worth more than Microsoft and Intel combined. At close of play on Friday, Apple's market capitalisation was $317.6bn and Microsoft and Intel (or Wintel for those of us old enough to remember) combined market capitalisation was $316.8bn. Not a great deal in it I am sure you'll agree but a significant day none the less.

So why is it significant? Well for me this shows us how times are changing and how the dominance of the desktop computer, as Apple spoke about at their last keynote event back in January is maybe coming to an end. Look at it this way, how can a company the makes iPods, iPhones and iPads (yes ok I know they still make Macs and whilst they are as sexy as the rest of the Apple hardware line-up do they really have any relevance to the way Apple are perceived to the great unwashed? No I don't think so either) be worth more than the two companies that historically has control of over 85% of the desktop computer market?

We have month on month increases in the number of "smart phones" from the likes of Apple, Samsung, HTC, Motorola and even RIM that are sold which not only allow us to access our private and corporate email but which are also getting to the point where we can access, through virtualisation and cloud technologies our desktop applications and data. Apple of course is also shifting truckloads of iPad 2's now as well which make getting access to the apps that you know and love and use on a daily basis even easier. And now that Google has got its Android Honeycomb act together we are starting to see some serious competitors to the Apple iPad in the form of the Motorola Xoom, Asus TF101 Transformer, Acer A500 Iconia and the soon to be launched Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 which is even thinner than the Apple iPad 2.

Somebody is missing here though..... Microsoft. Bill and Steve must be quaking in their boots at the very thought of their long-time nemesis now being the big bully of the IT playground, a position that they themselves have held for decades right? Erm, no I very much doubt it.

Microsoft very much see their future as cloud based. Everything from email to apps will be done online through a browser. This of course is great news for Microsoft because it means that irrespective of what hardware you are using be it an Apple iPad, a Motorola Atrix, a Samsung Galaxy S II or even a Windows 7 Mobile you will be able access your email, work collaboratively on a Word or Excel document and even sync your calendar and contacts through your companies SharePoint portal. Of course Microsoft will want you really to be using all of its shiny new cloud services on a machine running their Windows 8 operating system. Microsoft have also announced that for the first time their desktop operating system is going to be able to be run on non-x86 based processors. This means that all of the handsets and tablets that we are currently buying have just become Windows 8 compatible as Bill and Steve release Windows 8 for ARM based processors - not that you'll be able to run Windows 8 on them legitimately but it is still good to know.

So the big question has to be can Microsoft and Intel turn over this deficit and regain their position as top dog or are they really even bothered? Short term the answer has to be no. Today (06/06/2011) Steve Jobs will get up on stage to a room full of adoring fan boys and broadcast to worldwide collective of adoring fan boys about how Apple has changed the world and is going to continue changing it with the advent of iOS 5, iPhone 5, OS X 10.7 and iCloud - Apple's stock can only increase with all of this exciting news.

As a technologist and a fan boy of technology in general, I will of course listen with interest to how Steve tells us how he is going to mould the not so distant technology future. Will this make me buy an Apple product? Probably not, I have had an iPhone and a number of iPods which have all been great tech and I have enjoyed using them but I have moved on to less constrictive products which are Android based (probably more because I like tech toys that are constantly needing to be updated with fixes and new features as I find it much more exciting to use a product like that rather than one that pretty much "just works").

Long term it is un-clear if Microsoft can or even wants to regain the top dog position. Outwardly they will be saying "Yes, of course we do" but internally they will be happy knowing the fact that regardless of what Apple do cloud wise that they still have their "cash cows" of Word and Excel and that their cloud proposition is way ahead and very much corporate friendly compared to Apple's music plus a bit of storage option.

Citrix, The Art of Xen and Virtualization

Posted by Sarge

On Thursday 10th March I visited the Citrix Partner Accelerator 2011 event at the National Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham, having noticed the advertisement to register on the bottom of an email from one of our partner distributors, IQ-Sys.

Having worked in the IT industry for 18 years I was aware of Citrix, although I hadn't had much to do with their products for quite some time, I had registered for the event due to an interest in Virtualization and Cloud Computing and a recent conversation with our IQ-Sys account manager.

So, last Thursday I found myself sitting in the main hall at the National Motorcycle Museum, along with around 500 or so other people, waiting for the Key Note speaker, UK, Ireland and South Africa _ Channel Director, Kevin Bland, to start.  Having attended many events during my time in the industry, the first thing that impressed me was the attendance at the event, it was certainly a good turn out and the room was buzzing, which is always a good sign.

The graphical presentation that opened the show was very well put together, with giant hands all over the place, crushing servers, picking up cheetah’s, catching displays and moving words around in a large fashion, coupled with a sound system that wouldn’t have been out of place in a nightclub, came together to present a powerful message.

But the powerful message didn’t stop there, Kevin Bland delivered a very compelling and inspiring Key Note speech, and whilst it was only slightly tainted with a minor technical glitch, it left me thinking that the Citrix offering was something I wanted to get involved in.

One of the things that really held my attention, after the technical glitch was resolved (just the matter of not being able to pick up a wireless connection, due to a faulty router) was the live demo of an iPad running Windows 7.  An iPad, with Windows 7!!!? Yes, that’s what I thought.  But sure enough, there it was large as life on the big screen for everyone to see.  Whilst the iPad wasn’t running the Windows OS natively, what the demonstration served to show was the fact that, with a clever bit of technology, the iPad, or any device for that matter, that was Windows, Android or Blackerry based, could display and utilise a virtual desktop.

The reason this held my attention was that it answered a question we had been posed with when discussing the use of none windows products, such as tablets, slates and smartphones on a corporate network – how about the security? “I don’t want a none conforming device on our network”, is the cry from many an IT Manager, or Network Administrator faced with the prospect of installing the MD or CEO’s latest piece of tech on the corporate infrastructure.  The Citrix proposition alleviates this problem, by presenting virtualization as the key to overcoming these particular security and compliance hurdles.

One of the driving forces behind the requirement to use devices of this type is the changing face of economics and technology, which is causing a shift in the way workforces are utilised and deployed, moving away from the traditional centralised worker model, to that of a mobile or fluid workforce, where the dynamics of the worker changes on a daily or hourly basis.

During the day there were a number of breakout sessions and the opportunity to meet with Citrix’s supporting partners, who are part of the Citrix “ecosystem”, including HP, Cisco, Intel and Wyse, which added to and enforced the powerful message surrounding Citrix and their Virtualization message.  Their Xen range of product, XenDesktop, XenApp, XenClient and XenServer really grabbed my attention, so much so that I went home from the event and took my Citrix Certified Sales Professional (CCSP) 2011 over the weekend, so I could immerse myself in the technology further.

Having discussed the proposition with our MD and CTO, we have made a decision to utilise virtualization throughout our business, a) so we can benefit from the technology and b) so we can tell a compelling story about virtualization and talk with confidence to our clients about the design and implementation, the benefits or potential pit falls of such a project.

We have signed up with Citrix as an Authorised Partner and have taken the first steps in getting our Silver accreditation, we intend to firmly embrace virtualization and use it as part of our cloud proposition and build our own IT infrastructure around it as we grow as a business.

Keep checking back to our blog as we roll out Project Xen, or call us to discuss your virtualization projects.

Thanks for reading this blog – keep your Xen aligned.

2010 was the year of the iPad, 2011 will be the year of the tablet!

Posted by Paul Hanley

Apple currently dominates the tablet market, period. After the launch of the iPad in Spring 2010, Apple managed to shift around 15m units of the iPad world wide before the end of 2010 and not only leads sale with 90% of the market but is looking to increase sales massively with the launch of the thinner and faster iPad 2.

But whilst Apple currently has the tablet market pretty much to itself there are other devices launching now or in the not so distant future which have the potential to bite in to Apple's market share along with also helping to grow the tablet market.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab in Q4 of 2010 and it took 17% of world wide tablet sales in that quarter which is impressive enough in its own right considering the device is really nothing more than a large screen Android mobile phone (the same could also be argued that the iPad is nothing more than an iPhone with a large screen too).

Where things start getting interesting in the tablet market is the launch of products such as the Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 and the LG 3D G-Slate, all of which run the brand new Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system. This new version of Google's Android OS has specifically been created for tablet hardware and is a significant improvement over the more mobile phone orientated Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS.

We also have tablets from HP with their webOS based TouchPad (and webOS based Pre mobile phones to compliment the TouchPad) and BlackBerry with their Blackberry PlayBook tablet all set for launch between Q2 and Q3 of 2011.

The big question has to be though with all of these new tablets launching in 2011, how much effect will they have on Apple's dominance in this particular market sector. Whilst 10% of the projected 50m tablet sales for 2011 is still an impressive number will any of these other tablets. But as technologically advanced as they are will they be in a position to eat in to Apple's market share? Whilst not all price points have been set yet for the new tablets entering the market, tablets such as the Motorola Xoom have been set at a very similar price level to the competing Apple iPad and companies will find it difficult to out "Apple" Apple at same price point.

Apple is in the process of making the iPad the next stage of computing and the de-facto standard for both look and feel and how consumers want their software to look and work. But Apple has plans go further than this, not only do they want to own the market they want to define the idea of the market. We only have to look back to how their previous efforts with the iPod and the iPhone have turned out to get  some kind of idea of how this one may play.

There’s something in the Cloud | Cloud technology 2011

Posted by admin

The "sky" isn't the limit

We've predicted that cloud computing, whether used in a storage capacity or to greatly decrease carbon footprints, will experience significant growth, in both the public and private sectors over the next 12 months, specifically in the area of internet services. As a dynamic IT focused business we have developed this dedicated (Cloud) micro-site for our cusomers to benefit from this technology, we've put everything in one place to make it easier.

http://cloud.cleverboxes.com/

Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared servers provide resources, software, and data to computers and other devices on demand, as with the electricity grid. Cloud computing is a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization, service-oriented architecture and utility computing. Details are abstracted from consumers, who no longer have need for expertise in, or control over, the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them.

Everyone is talking about “the cloud.” But how can I use it?
Business applications are moving to the cloud. It’s not just a fad???the shift from traditional software models to the Internet has steadily gained momentum over the last 10 years. Looking ahead, the next decade of cloud computing promises new ways to collaborate everywhere, through mobile devices.

Life before cloud computing
Traditional business applications have always been very complicated and expensive. The amount and variety of hardware and software required to run them are daunting. You need a whole team of experts to install, configure, test, run, secure, and update them.

When you multiply this effort across dozens or hundreds of apps, it’s easy to see why the biggest companies with the best IT departments aren’t getting the apps they need. Small and mid-sized businesses don’t stand a chance.

Cloud computing: a better way
With cloud computing, you eliminate those headaches because you’re not managing hardware and software. The shared infrastructure means it works like a utility: You only pay for what you need, upgrades are automatic, and scaling up or down is easy.

Cloud-based apps can be up and running in days or weeks, and they cost less. With a cloud app, you just open a browser, log in, customize the app, and start using it.

Businesses are running all kinds of apps in the cloud, like customer relationship management (CRM), HR, accounting, and much more. Some of the world’s largest companies moved their applications to the cloud.

As cloud computing grows in popularity, thousands of companies are simply rebranding their non-cloud products and services as “cloud computing.” Always dig deeper when evaluating cloud offerings and keep in mind that if you have to buy and manage hardware and software, what you’re looking at isn’t really cloud computing but a false cloud.

Cloud 2: Mobility and collaboration
The latest innovations in cloud computing are making our business applications even more mobile and collaborative, similar to popular consumer apps like Facebook and Twitter. As consumers, we now expect that the information we care about will be pushed to us in real time, and business applications in the cloud are heading in that direction as well. With Cloud 2, keeping up with your work is as easy as keeping up with your personal life on Facebook.

Apple iPad iOS 4.2 finally available today (22/11/10)

Posted by Paul Hanley

Owners of the Apple iPad rejoice!! After a few false starts and a couple of delays Apple have released the iOS 4.2 update for the Apple iPad.

Now why is this such a big deal? Well when Apple first started talking about their new iOS 4 operating system software for the iPhone and iPod Touch, iPad owners probably felt just a little forlorn because they thought they were the "candy man" toy in Apple's goody bag of products. Such wonders as multitasking applications and application folders were making iPhone and iPod Touch owners happier with their "Jesus" toys than they had ever been before. For the poor iPad users who could only stare on in wonder at the sexy new iOS features, they would have to wait until Q4 2010 to taste such delights.

So with a few revisions along the way, Apple have finally granted iPad users the dreams they've all been dreaming and finally today released iOS 4.2 for iPad.

What's new in iOS 4.2 for iPad?
Multitasking

Finally iPad owners can now jump in to their favourite level of Angry Birds HD when they get bored half way through composing an e-amil.

AirPlay/AirPrint
You can now use the AirPlay feature to push either video or music content to compatible AirPlay devices such as the AppleTV, AirPort Express and numerous speaker docks that will be gracing our virtual self-spaces in the not so distant future. AirPrint also allows you to print documents directly from the iPad to compatible AirPrint printers.

Mail
Sending email on the iPad has just got a whole lot nicer. With such features as a unified inbox and thread messaging, Mail on the iPad is actually now a far nicer experience than it is on the iPhone or the iPod Touch due to the size of the screen.

Folders
You can now create folders on your iPad Springboard that can hold up to 20x applications which makes the Springboard a far less cluttered place and makes it much easier to get to those app's you use a lot.

Music/Brightness/Orientation Widget
The lock switch on the iPad is now a mute button so to lock the screen orientation, alter the screen brightness or control the media that is currently playing there is now a nice widget that you can pull up by double tapping the home button and a left swipe on the screen.

Games Center
Hey if Microsoft can win big time with their Xbox Live system for the 360 why can't the portable gaming sensations that are the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad have a go too. Many, many, many games are available for iOS devices so why not challenge your friends to some online gaming easily with the Games Center.

Conclusion
The Apple iPad is great product for the majority of people there is no doubt about that and with the advent of iOS 4.2 it has just got even better. Ok so the iPad only has 256Mb RAM compared to the 512Mb of the iPhone 4 but it has the Apple A4 1Ghz CPU embedded in it which more than makes up for any deficiency in the memory department and it keeps everything running silky smooth as owners have come to expect with "must have" addition to their lives.

The iPad iOS 4.2 update is available to all iPad users through iTunes 10.1 - connect, download and upgrade!
