Netbooks to incorporate any version of Windows 7


The restrictions imposed by Microsoft Netbooks manufacturers would seem to be forgotten with the arrival of Windows 7.

Of course because a company spokesman noted that now the manufacturers of these computers can install any version of Windows 7 on them, without any limitations whatsoever. A measure that will be very well received by manufacturers and by users and seeks to counter the growing use of Linux based Operating Systems and the entry of equipment ARM processors.

While this is an excellent measure which we all applauded, in practice we do not know the impact it will have because you do not know the performance you would have a Netbook, and those that are currently marketed with Windows 7 Ultimate and all its graphic paraphernalia enabled (Aero). Another issue that must be considered is the price they might achieve these computers running versions of Windows 7 whose license necessarily raise its market price, so they may no longer be competitive.

At the end have to be Netbooks manufacturers who must see benefit from this measure, which clearly pointed in the right direction.

Apple feeds the rumors about the iTablet


Comparison between the iPhone's screen and the iTablet

The rumor that Apple would soon be launching an iTablet follow the agenda, especially now that we know that the company would have re-signed Michael Tchao, one of the developers of what is now considered one of the devices precursors PDAs: the Newton.

Tchao his position in the company will be the President of Product Marketing, depending directly from Phil Schiller, Apple Senior Vice President and who would polish the shoes of Steve Jobs.

But reports about the iTablet not end there, because a site published some of the features that would have this new device:

* It should have a 10.7 inch screen
* Use the same operating system as the current iPhone, as if design
* I would go in two models: With 3G connectivity and without it
* It would be five times higher resolution than the iPhone (there is talk of 720p)
* Released: January 19, 2010

Clearly this team would not enter into competition with the Netbooks, it would be thought of as a multimedia player with communication skills (it may be possible to use it as eBooks)
