iPad: A Review

Category : Communication, News and society, Product Reviews

Everyone has been excited about the iPad release by Apple.  What has excited them so much? How is this product going to make a difference to our lives?  Here is a product review that you may like to read!

iPad, like iPhone is not physically magical. It has its own beauty but nothing that would have you crooning over its dimensions or curvatures.  However, it is a well built device with a rigid glass display with an inch of bezel around the display.  The home button of the iPhone is there and so is the high capacity multi touch panel.  It is LED backlit with In-Plane Switching display that provides a wonderful viewing angle.  The back is aluminum and there are connectors for power, sleep and volume control.

Doesn’t sound like much does it? Well, described as I have done, the iPad does not sound like anything much. However, inside the iPad is the “A4” Apple designed chip that runs on 1GHz and manages everything—processing, graphics and I/O.  The device has a 16 – 64 GB of memory, Bluetooth and EDR wireless connectivity.  There is an inbuilt speaker and microphone; accelerometers, ambient light sensors and digital compass with assisted GPS technology.  The device can be attached to a computer using  the 30 pin connector that is available. Wireless access of upto 3 Mbps is made possible with Enhanced Data Rate technology and Bluetooth.  The powerful battery gives 10 hours of usage and a month of standby time.

If you are “Wowing” now, hold on! We are not at the end of the list. Apple has not ignored 3G connectivity.  The 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-fi options, taps directly into UMTS/HSDPA and GSM/EDGE 3G wireless networks,. The best part of the deal is that it is not locked and not bound by any contract. You can get it to work if your wireless carrier uses a GSM micro SIM.

On the flip side, ­­you cannot make phone calls with this device. There is no internal camera (you can add it as an external device). The software also seems to have limited multitasking features.  Flash plug-ins are not supported.

The  price ranges between $499-$699.

Recommendation: May be wise to check RSS feeds for information before you check your bank account for balance.

Getting creative about a dustbin

Category : Creative writing, Product Reviews, Types of content, website content

DustbinsA dustbin? You want to be creative about a dustbin? How can you be creative? It is so uninspiring and yuck! Well, if you had a contract brief that you need to be creative about a dustbin–can you be?

Well, creativity and innovation can be a natural outcome of associating with all that is beautiful and attractive.  Being creative about the unattractive is the challenge. Do you agree?  Being creative about a dustbin is a challenge that I decided to take head on.  So, join me in lovingly dwelling on the dustbin!

Title: Dustbins that make a fashion statement

Body: Beautifully decorative and specatacularly clean interiors are exquisite examples of meticulous planning.  If you are decorating, forget the loud colored plastic configurations we use for dustbins and consider the discreet wooden waste disposal systems that blend with the decor and are available at hand for those who seek to throw away their rubbish. Cigarette butts,  lipstick stained tissues or even the efforts at poetic erudition that end up as screws of paper must find their way into handily located wooden dustbins that are fashionable and discreet.

Modern dustbin manufacturers are conscious of the importance of this littleWoodColorComparisons piece of furniture and go that extra mile to create them with mahogany, oak, rosewood or any other kind of wood that complement the decor.  Dustbins today make a fashion statement.  Premium grade wood hand rubbed to wearable grain densities could enhance your decor. Tambour design wooden wastebaskets made from natural oak, mahogany, stained walnut, genuine walnut, natural cherry or dark cherry could add meaning to the corners of your room.

Place your dustbin right next to your office desk or nestle it amidst the flora and fauna in your room! The shapes and sizes of these wastebaskets can be tailored to match the varied needs of the allocated space. A 24 quart square basket or a round basket that has a 16 inch diameter or a 13 inch one can add the right touch to the furnishings.

Make your fashion statement even with the dustbin you use for the rubbish!

Voila! Was that creative enough? If I have succeeded in making you want to buy a little wooden waste basket to blend with the paneled decor of your room, I have been creative!
