Apple iPad Tablet -- the Complete Specs and TiPb's Take on Them
For the spec fiends among us, Apple has posted up almost every little number you'd ever want to know about their new iPad tablet (except, of course, what silicon is powering it on the inside -- that'll have to wait for the inevitable tear down.
We'll take a look, after the break!
- Height: 9.56 inches (242.8 mm)
- Width: 7.47 inches (189.7 mm)
- Depth: 0.5 inch (13.4 mm)
- Weight: 1.5 pounds (.68 kg) Wi-Fi model; 1.6 pounds (.73 kg) Wi-Fi + 3G model
Sounds a tad heavy to us, certainly heavier than the Kindle. Will we be happy lugging it around? Reading it while lying in bed?
- 9.7-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display with IPS technology
- 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi)
- Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating
- Support for display of multiple languages and characters simultaneously
We're happy with the 720p+, but what's with the old school 4:3 aspect ratio? 1280 wide was a non-starter, or like the phatty nano, something that gets changed with the next version? IPS is the phenomenal LED panel technology used on the new iMac, which means great viewing angles.
- Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n)
- Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR technology
- Wi-Fi + 3G model
- UMTS/HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100 MHz)
- GSM/EDGE (850, 900,1800, 1900 MHz)
802.11n is steller, and although BT 2.1 feels old, we're happy it will support BT keyboards (and want that in the iPhone!). The 3G bands means no T-Mobile US or Wind Canada except on EDGE.
- Digital compass
- Assisted GPS (Wi-Fi + 3G model)
Digital compass is a must for Augmented Reality, and it's great to see both in the Wi-Fi only model. iPod touch should have gotten that in the G3 last September. Sorry, no gyro!
- 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB flash drive
This feels a little on the lean side to us. Since an iPod touch G3 can already hit 64MB, we were hoping for a 128GB option.
- 1GHz Apple A4 custom-designed, high-performance, low-power system-on-a-chip
Here we go! Apple's own, home-grown PA Semi-spun silicon. We're guessing it has an ARM Cortex A8 (it's a tad early for 9) inside there, but is it using the PowerVR SGX like the iPhone 3GS, or something beefier? Also, as expected, no details on RAM but we'd hope for 512MB+ (hopefully 1GB!)
- Accelerometer
- Ambient light sensor
Same as iPhone and iPod touch
- Frequency response: 20Hz to 20,000Hz
- Audio formats supported: AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
- User-configurable maximum volume limit
- Support for 1024 x 768 with Dock Connector to VGA adapter; 576p and 480p with Apple Composite - A/V Cable, 576i and 480i with Apple Composite A/V Cable
- H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Also similar to iPhone/iPod touch, including the A/V cables. We'd hoped for an HDMI cable as well, as it's interesting if anachronistic to note the mention of Dock Connector to VGA adapter.
- Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)
Nothing new here either that we can tell. Selfishly, we'd like PSD added to the QuickView list.
- Support for playback of closed-captioned content
- VoiceOver screen reader
- Full-screen zoom magnification
- White on black
- Mono audio
Kudos to Apple for continuing the accessibility features, let's hope more content takes advantage of closed captioning and iPhone OS specific abilities!
- Built-in 25Whr rechargeable lithium-polymer battery
- Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
- Charging via power adapter or USB to computer system
10 hours, given the size of the screen, is very nice.
- Dock connector
- 3.5-mm stereo headphone jack
- Built-in speakers
- Microphone
- SIM card tray (Wi-Fi + 3G model only)
Yeah, but it's a micro-SIM card, which means you can't just take out your iPhone SIM and put it in the iPad. (Which may be the carrier's intention).

Apple iPad Tablet -- the Complete Specs and TiPb's Take on Them
i bet the facebook app runs like crap on this thing too. :)
This has ultimately underwhelmed.
Rene, could you honestly say this is something amazing? Something that deserves the praise of, lets say, the past iPhone launches?
Because I honestly don't believe so.
They had a chance to make something amazing. But this...this is not.
This can not even be considered a tablet PC.
It can only handle one 3rd party app at a time. And when you're using a REAL PC...multitasking is very important. May not be on a phone. But a PC...yes.
No option for optional programs or plug-ins (no flash, no optional browsers, no other programs besides apps). And I'm sorry, apps are all good and whatnot, but for a "PC" I need it to be fully functioning.
The HDD is severely limited.
No camera (and normally I don't complain about cameras).
No USB ports unless connected to the dock.
I mean...he implied this is better than a netbook.
But how? Where? I see nothing but a giant iPod with 3G added onto it.
I was ready to buy this, but it's nothing now.
So, if the iPad was introduced 3 years ago, and today they announced the iPhone, Apple would be saying...
"The iPhone runs all the iPad apps, has all of the connectivity of the iPad PLUS allows you to make phone calls, AND it has a camera, AND it fits in your pocket!
Oh, and one more thing... with a contract the brand new iPhone costs only a third of what an iPad costs!"
(Don't get me wrong, I will probably get an iPad. I'm just saying the iPhone is amazing.)
Underestimating the potential of the iPhone OS on a bigger display is a mistake, in my humble opinion.
Just a heads up:
"This feels a little on the lean side to us. Since an iPod touch G3 can already hit 64MB, we were hoping for a 128GB option"
64GB.. not 64MB :)
I like it! I don't know what's all the complaints about? What do you guys want? A super computer on a 10" screen?
Its all about utility and usage.. This is not intended as a computer replacement.. I'd personally get one mainly for browsing, email, E-BOOKS, Quran, and photos.. Oh ++ cool iPhone apps :)
It does what it is supposed to do, in an amazing way! This is how Apple products should be..
But if they are trying to "defeat the netbook" how can they with so many limitations on this thing. It has the potential, do not get me wrong. But as it stands...it's not smashing any netbook out there right now.
If they can combine a desktop OS with the likability of the Mobile OS X...then they will have a winner.
I mean...they wouldn't keep you from downloading multiple browsers on your MacBook Air...or installing other programs to use.
So why do that on your "Tablet PC."
I mean just think...the reputation of Apple with graphic designers and music producing enthusiasts. If they had a full featured Photoshop, with a capacitive enabled pen, and a Garageband. That alone would have just basically knocked all netbooks out the running.
But when you make a comment like "netbooks arent good at anything"
Then introduce a device like this...that's just not good.
A netbook makes this locked down "computer" seem like it's Azkaban before Sirus Black broke out, lol.
But honestly, it just seems they let a lot of people down. I know they let me down.
This is terrible. A flop that will set Apple back at least two years.
The iPhone is lightyears ahead of this paperweight.
Why? Because the iPad does not replace anything, it cannot replace even a MacBook Air. E-book readers have been around for awhile now, I've never been interested in them when buying a real book is almost always cheaper.
What a waste of time.
Netbooks aren't good at anything...Hey apple! Here is one thing netbooks are better than your iPad...MULTITASKING! Egh. Steve Jobs and his arrogance.
The hardware is OK. I would have like to have seen a better cough PixelQi cough screen, HDMI output and a USB port (for portable storage and SD card readers).
What disappointed me most is the software and ecosystem. It should have introduced a simplistic file system for sharing data between apps (how the frack do you move iWork documents on and off the device), far better CODEC support (come on, most of the world uses AVI or MKV) and multi-tasking just to name a few features.
And the eco-system? Apple should have blown us away with a Reader app which lets us subscribe to newspapers (lets start with the iconic NYT) for $10 a month. The iPad is still a media consumption device and Apple NEEDED something new here to entice customers.
With all the hype around it, you would have expected it to bring world peace, a cure for cancer (and harsher punishments for parole violators!)
We always see eye to eye...mostly. LOL
But this is just astounding. When he said that...I was literally prepared to return my flat screen tv and start saving up for this thing like I did my Nexus One.
But when I saw the iPhone "launcher" I was like...well, there's a background. So maybe there's new functionality.
Then I saw all the basic iPhone/iPod features just "fleshed" out for a bigger screen. Still held hope.
Then when they didn't implement installation of outside programs, didn't add multitasking, didn't add a bigger hard drive. I saw it for what it was....
An iPod Touch with 3G connectivity if you wanted it.
I mean. How are you going to slam a real computer with a real OS for computing...then deploy a device that supposedly beats said "not good" device...yet it can't even do half the things a netbook can.
Hell...from concept alone...the ChromeOS does more than this...
AND to add to my high disappointment.
It still has Mobile Safari.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good browser. But netbooks have real browsers. It even has the option of the REAL Safari.
Yet your own "netbook killer" can't do that. =/ Where do they do that at?
This seems like a desperate attempt to dig into the netbook sales. Since they said it wouldn't get anywhere...and yet they have. So now Apple is scrambling to play catch up without looking like they were totally wrong.
Oh the delicious irony.
I really do not see how this is better than a netbook and I believe Steve also said something about more intimate or some relation to the laptop. This is just a big iPod Touch, with the option of cellular data. Watching the press conference I thought I was watching (reading about) a WWDC presentation of the iPhone from 2008 or 2009.
Here's hoping for a quick Jailbreak! Pretty dull out of the box, but it's got potential, I think. I'm constantly amazed my the great apps and tweaks the jailbreak community comes up with. With a platform like this, they'll run wild!
Multitasking for sure and someone will probably figure out how to sync your iPhone to it over that camera connection adapter. Heck, they may even get OS X running on it.
Introducing the netBook and eReader killer...The iPad!...!!!!yeah!!!!. FOR ME TO POOP ON!!
It would be great if apple come out with a iPad nano. Wow! An iPad nano! that would be terrific!
Im very much sure that Microsoft, Nokia, Samsung and Google are smiling right now. :)
you guys are a total joke. I could have written this post and these comments a week ago. so predictable. it doesnt have this or that, just a bigger ipod touch, iphone better, fail this, epic fail that.
Had apple included your entire wish list into one device and priced it at $1000, you would all b*ch and moan about the price.
Apple is a company and found the best amount of features for price. The funniest part about the negative comments is that 75% of the authors will be first in line to buy one.
at the end of the day, this will become the de facto standard for reading anything for anyone under the age of 40. Its 10x better than a kindle and has the bonus of doing a bit more productivity and gaming.
get over yourselves and enjoy the beauty of the Max iPad
f the towelhead
If the iPad sells at the right prices I might actually look into buying one of these. I'd pay $500 for a model that supports flash, silverlight and lets me watch Hulu!
one other comment - without apps, the iphone sucks. there will be countless ipad only apps for gaming, productivity, watching media, reading, etc.
chill out on the instant negative reaction. its all too familiar. these sites built up this tablet for a year so some let down is expected but we got what we wanted.
It may not be able to multitask, but think: Seeing as it runs so similarly to the iPhone, that means some day, it will be jailbroken. Which means multitasking. Wait until it's been out a few months, the dev-team will probably have it jb'd by then, and after that, it will absolutely destroy the netbook market.
Well, i'll wait until this big iphone gets a mac osx operating system, then it will revolution the world...
besides for movies( which should be paid by itunes)and maybe typing in class; why would i want a bigger, less-portatil Iphone,i mean not even flash... this is useless for iphone owners... put a mac os os for jesus christ
Andy is right. all everyone is doing is complaining. in 5 years these things will be all over school campuses and are super portable. would you rather carry 100 pounds of text books or have this all-in-one in your bag? plus 10 hours of battery life is amazing. my iPhone barely gets through the on two charges. apple could have included everything on everyones wish list, and will, but for now this is absolutely a breakthrough in technology.
Don't forget people Apple believes in the cloud and the potential for the iPad will be unlimited, and remember it is the first iPad just like the first iPhone, and Apple will build on it from there just like they did with the iPhone. The complainers and just spoiled by the iPhone and want every thing NOW. Oh don't forget iWorks! Got an idea whip out the iPad, beats having to pull out the Macbook just to put your thoughts down and maybe try something out. I will be getting one as soon as it is available.
Oh yea look at the Kindle DX $489.00 and it doesn't even come close to the iPad $499.00, so those who want to complain get to the back of the line or better yet go buy a Kindle.
I totally get this and at the price I am happy. I love my 3GS and had dreamed of something so fun and easy to use as the iPhone but bigger for when at home. Well I see the iPad is exactly that. It's all about the software and hardware working together to create a great user experience. And hopefully GeoHot will jailbreak this too and then it will be super awesome with multitasking and all. I can already feel myself using this and enjoying it a whole lot more then my netbook I'm surfing on my couch from right now.

I think the iPad is just another gateway for content consumption, and that's where the real money is. Cheap device, good for ebooks.
Kinda sucks to see the GPS is only for 3G model. Guess the wifi model really is just a big iPod touch while 3G model is a big iPhone without the Phone.
@Rail. YOU nailed it. "It does not replace anything". Perfect bud. You STILL have to carry your phone. You STILL have to carry a laptop. If you own a laptop, it already does everything this does PLUS. If you have an iPhone, you can already do what this does, just on a smaller scale. And just how is this thing mobile? It is NOT a pocket device, (I can't wait to see some moran with one in a belt clip !!!) and I can't imagine what would happen if you dropped it. A netbook ($199.00 with most carriers) will do this for 1/3 the cost of the "base" model. $849.00 for a Wi-Fi / 3G model and 64GB is all you get?? Man, my junky Dell was $749.00 and I have 250GB, a DVD reader / burner and a 7 hour battery. Can't see this selling except to those who have to have the latest Apple whatever. HUGE let down. And for all of you "wait and see what they do in the future" types, the future is now. Apple is really losing their ability to not only raise the bar, but to put it where others cannot reach it. This plan of put out a product and then "make it better" later is starting to wear thin.
@cycling.....why on earth would you be carring both?? The entire notion of the Iphone was "this is all you need". Remember, a computer in your pocket?? I guess they changed that to "this AND this is all you need" now.
Apple is the most horrible company in the world! And yes! They are known for this ulgy crappy products like the iPad wich is another piece of junk! I have an iphone and the internet service is horrible! And yes, those At & T commercials are true, their coverage really sucks! I can not believe hos the stupid and arrogant Steve Jobs doesn't look what his competitors are doing before wasting his and our time in this new piece of sheat.
They think they are years ahead of their time and their are not. I just can not believe that you can not do in this new iPad the basic thing that you would do at any other portable computer!
Apple get rich just because of their stupi ipods wich is a devie that is violating all the copy rights of music and musicians!
Apple is the major conterfitter of the world! That's whay they made just 15 billion dollars in profits just last year! They made that much money because their stupid products are way overpriced and they all suck!
I'm sorry but a lot of guys here are jealous and have anyway always something to complainabout.2nd richest man of the world and with the I pad in one year again nearer to the 1st place. If you don't believe wait for 6 months and come back to this page. What you don't seem to notice is that unfortunately our world is a brand world, you don't have the brand, you are nothing. And just this fact will sell more then 50% of the Ipads, the other 50% will use it as a nice gimmick that's just a bigger I phone.
Sorry Joel but I think you have a big issue problem. Why everybody has to be so jealous, apple must do something right, or did you ever hear of a company that does like you say everything wrong and is as rich as Apple, The companies that do everythong wrong, don't live long enough to get even a second product out on the market.
I love iPad. If only it has USB and memory card slots the sky would be the limit. I agree that not having a Flash is a downside, but I can live without it. There's one hilarious video on http://ipadspec.com about ipad spec
dvd to ipad converter can convert dvd to the ipad formats.
Useful info ... BTW, did you consider that watching dvd movies on ur ipad, you may like to check out a tutorial about ripping DVD to iPad http://www.daniusoft.com/tutorial/dvd-to-ipad-converter.html#135 that i stumbled upon.
choose the right ipad video converter.
I am so excited to share this news with you guys! You won't believe what I have discovered: An additional theory that will challenge Big Bang theory, Evolution theory, etc. on how we got here and how the world came to be. The theory I am talking about is from da digital report called "Rediscoveries of the centuries" (free at author's site or get it here scribd.com/doc/33817269). The author is saying that we had a small, curious idea in perfect oneness (a place like heaven where we forever are) before we came here: "Into oneness came a curious idea that gave rise to universal scripts, and brought us to the world we see here" that lead to the creation of the universe!
IMHO, I personally believe his ebook will have drastic positive effect many parts of the globe, since no one can longer claim there are only 3 most subscribed to theories (Big bang, Evolution, Intelligent Design) to explain the existence of everything. But, what's more important is what do experts of this forum think about his many rediscoveries?
I use my iPad for web browsing, reading books, playing games, listening to music, watching video. It's easy to carry. I love the battery life and the fact that there's not waiting for it to boot up. I've never regretted the purchase.
Thanks for sharing this useful information, i like to use ipad very much , it is so amazing.
a new iPad could certainly shake things up over the Christmas shopping season.
Thank you that you can take your time from your busy scheduel, it is very kind of you to provide this precious information for us
I am loyal fan of Apple ipad.
it's really not so convenient to use iPad, or other Apple product; I got an iPod itouch, and I have to download the iTunes before getting something into it; I enjoy the iPod, but the transformation is rather annoying.
i am planning to buy a ipad 2 in a month. ipads are cool. thanks for the information here. ;)

Love these cookies These are the best wafer cookies,I ever had.I cant find them anywhere.So,I looked on the internet and here they are.My tummy will be so happy =) April 7, 2013
DELICIOUS Cookies are not overly sweet. With the vanilla cream, I feel like I almost taste a hint of salt (like salted caramel, just a hint). Every cookie is good. Since they come in a bag, some of the cookies are not the prettiest things when you take them out. But these are delicious. May 7, 2012
nice yummy wafers. not too sweet which is good. can eat anytime. love it.......... December 15, 2011

Group offers weapons training for Utah teachers
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah group is offering free concealed weapons permit training for teachers.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that instructors with the Utah Shooting Sports Council will provide the course for school employees Thursday in West Valley City.Continue Reading
Organizers say the goal is to arm more teachers in the aftermath of the Connecticut school shooting, where 20 children and six educators were killed.
The group says teachers will also learn how to respond to an attack.
Utah and Kansas are the only two states that allow people with concealed weapons permits to carry their guns in a school.
The Utah class has been offered to teachers before, but organizers say there is increased demand after the Dec. 14 Connecticut massacre.

After an earthquake devastated the small Italian town of Salle in 1905, two brothers-in-law, Rocco and Carmine D'Addario emigrated to Astoria in Queens, New York in an attempt to expand their market, importing and selling the strings made by their family in Salle. In 1918, Carmine (who later became known as Charles) began making his own ropes and strings in a small shop behind the family home. Still crafting with animal gut, the process of making strings involved all members of the family.
The guitar saw a major rise in popularity in the early part of the 20th century, because of new popular music, and sometime in the 1930s the D'Addario family began making strings for the guitar, producing them in a made-to-order fashion for individual musicians and guitar manufacturers.

Not too bad since Samsung has TONS of phones and tablets on the market. I'd expect them to be ahead and the fact they are barely ahead says a lot IMO.
Apple and Samsung neck and neck with smartphone, tablet, and laptop sales
Apple has nearly closed the distance between itself and Samsung in worldwide sales of smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Apple jumped from holding 15.7 percent of worldwide market share in Q3 2012 to having 20.3 in Q4, just behind Samsung's 21.2 percent. IDC believes that Apple's jump is due to the debut of the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini.
In terms of market share, Apple significantly closed the gap with market leader Samsung in the quarter, as the combination of Apple's iPhone 5 and iPad Mini brought Apple up to 20.3% unit shipment share versus 21.2% for Samsung. On a revenue basis for the fourth quarter, Apple continued to dominate with 30.7% share versus 20.4% share for Samsung.
Worldwide shipments of devices like smartphones and tablets passed 1 billion units last year. Additionally, tablet shipments are expected to overtake desktop shipments this year, and laptop shipments next year. The iPad remains extremely popular, and Apple should be able to hold on to its newfound market share, but they will have a fight on their hands as competition with Samsung continues to escalate.

Apple and Samsung neck and neck with smartphone, tablet, and laptop sales
It also says a lot that those numbers also have laptops added into the mix.
Samsung is not generally known on that side of the market, which will skew the numbers towards Apple side.
A much better comparison would be to use each segment's numbers but I have a feeling that in that case Samsung would come out quite ahead.
Next step for Samsung: fork Android, call it "Galaxy OS" or something, and cut off all ties to Google Play. This will allow them to further boost Galaxy brand mindshare and to further differentiate themselves from the rapidly thinning herd of generic Android device makers.
Compare this with Microsoft's plastering the "Windows" brand on everything, even their own corporate logo, even if it makes absolutely no sense. When people think "Windows" they think "Yuck. They force me to use that at work." And it's too late to change that negative reaction.
When people think "Galaxy" they think "Yeah, that's the Android brand that's going to survive." Much better image. It's the image that Samsung should keep on cultivating.
SockRolid you just blew my mind! LOL! Just watched Steve Jobs when he first came back to Apple talking about exactly this. The Mythical Man Month. Zoom forward to 10:30 minutes in.
Uhhhh.... Are you an android fan boy or had you head under a rock? Apple CAUGHT UP to Samsung. 5s/iPad Mini not looking too shabby right?
APPLE RULES, no matter what! :)
I'm actually more surprised by the fact that Apple wasn't leading before. The iPad is commonly associated with tablet and has the strongest brand recognition than even Galaxy in the tablet space. Nevertheless, it's great to see Apple catch up: always a good thing to know more people are buying a quality tablet.
i really hope that apple can continue to rule the market, because android is not a great possibility for me.
I was actually surprised by the facts in this article. I honestly thought that Apple was significantly behind. I think that jumping almost 5% is pretty amazing. I do think that Samsung is pretty confident since they really didn't make a hail mary pass with the new S4 it is basically just an update to the S3 so I think they know they have a bit of a lead. I haven't tried the S3 myself but friends at work have them and are absolutely pleased with the devices. I am all in with Apple since every electronic device in my house and in my pocket is Apple and they all talk together. I think that a lot will depend on the iPhone 5S and what new feature it has as well as any push in hardware. For me it makes more since to buy Apple products especially since if I have a problem with one of my devices I can just schedule an appointment and go to the Apple Store and get it fixed right away and be out the door. Samsung can't compete with that.
Well you are entitled to your opinion but it is common knowledge that the companies honestly piggy back off each other and maybe they have hit a wall on the hardware side and it looks like from the Samsung event that they think that software apps are the new way to separate from the pack even though Apple has always put out great in house apps. I think that Apple has the edge since their apps seem to feel more polished not to mention the ease of use with iOS. I find the Android OS is not user friendly. I did like the health tracking app that Samsung added but I think that Apple can do it better.
Actually the real figures may even be better for the Fruity corporation - Samsung only reports shipments to sales channels, rather than actual sales, which is what Apple reports.
So the real news is, Apple's worldwide sales have nearly caught up with Samsung's entire global shipments to distribution channels.
This begins to explain Apple's domination of the net earnings (profit) share, year after year...
I think this is good news all around. The top players, neck in neck... It drives innovation as the two companies try to out-do each other. Only good things (for the consumer) can come out of this.
So while Apple is selling a ton devices and catching up quickly to the market leader in Samsung, they are the ones being blasted by the media and investors about not selling enough units and being unable to innovate? Sounds like Consumers are starting to make it clear. You also have to take into account how many of those devices are low level smartphones sold in India and China where the iPhone is either not available or costs an absurd amount of money for families with the income they have. Like always, you have to take Samsung's numbers with a grain of salt.
Exactly!!! Samsung has how many S3 variants that were dumbed down and sold as the same thing with a new name monthly to all different countries while Apple has the iPhone and the iPad and their computers. Samsung SHOULD be the #1 considering all the stuff they sell.
That's exactly what I'm saying! If Samsung was any position other than #1 they would need to seriously look into their business model and make some drastic changes. Apple being the #2 manufacturer overall and closing the gap should be extremely impressive to everybody!! Very very glad to have somebody else on the same page!
I agree with you. If the rumors are true and Apple does release a cheaper plastic version they will definitely surpass Samsung. I have a 4 S and wish I could get a 5 but it looks like I am stuck in the S version rotation.
That could be the next big thing for Apple, while maybe not in the US or the UK, in countries like India and China that would allow Apple a crack at Android in the worldwide OS standings and could push them over the edge to become the #1 manufacturer overall. And being stuck on the S cycle is always frustrating haha
I wasn't really expecting much from iPhone as much as the iPad Mini. I knew the Mini would be a great hit because it is lighter and far more transportable. The iPhone continues to disappoint me in terms of battery life(size only). Sure it is the most battery efficient phone; however, you can only stretch that for so long. Either give us 2000+ mah, or a removable battery slot. That being said, due to the ecosystem, I knew iPad Mini would outshine any other Tablet out there.
I'm only concerned about my phone maker and what they are offering me. I never really was a big fan of Samsung products. Appear to be cheap!
Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. Iphone 5s, Samsung and Apple are Two of the Biggest Mobile Company in the World!
I think apple may lose ground when the iphone 5s whatever comes out unless it's revolutionary and not evolutionary
Yet another positive showing that apple is doing extremely well except the word around the tech market is still that iOS is lame and apple MUST make a larger iPhone or they will not survive. I think people need to realize apple hasn't gotten where they have gotten without paving their own ground otherwise we would have an apple NetBook that worked just as bad as the other netbooks, an Apple TV without any content providers, and an iPad running OS X. Not that these don't sound like products I wouldn't have purchased at the time, but the point is apple sets the tech trends not follows them.
Apple is clearly taking market share more importantly after it lost out to Microsoft in the 1990s. This could (arguably already has) affect profits in the short term as the mini is cheaper than the full sized Ipad, but it will put them in a stronger shape long term if more people have Apple devices.
Just recently got an iPad and I am in love. Made the switch from the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. The iPad is faster, easier to user and has way better Facebook and Twitter integration!
Apple's products are certainly not cheap. The people in the US can cope with the prices although there are demands to lower the prices in the US. But on the international scale, the currency difference elevates the prices so much that it makes them out of reach for a majority. On the other hand, Samsung's products are priced lower than Apple and that makes a huge difference on the international sales charts.
Ditto on the Apple rules. And android currently not a option to fragmented and skinned
When I saw this I thought why is Samsung not way ahead of Apple? Price v. quality.

Activist questions Arpaio's Latino outreach motives
PHOENIX -- After years of tension between the sheriff's office and Hispanic community, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Tuesday night after his re-election that he wanted to reach out to explain his immigration policy and how he handles the law.
Valley attorney and activist Daniel Ortega said he would welcome that move by Arpaio but he questioned the motives.
"He's the same guy that he has always been," he said. "Why he wants to reach out is speculative on my part."
Ortega said there is a great deal of disappointment, distrust and fear in the Hispanic community with the sheriff.
"Of course, we should take the opportunity to keep him from discriminating and racially profiling the Latino community," he said.
"Anything we can do to achieve that would be time well spent."

Eddie Alvarez's lawyer files injunction against Bellator to fight at UFC 159; UFC strengthens offer - MMAmania.com
The mixed martial arts (MMA) world will keep its collective eyes on the courtroom this week.
Eddie Alvarez's attorneys are seeking a preliminary injunction to allow the former Bellator Lightweight Champion and current free agent to sign a Zuffa contract to fight at UFC 159 on April 27, 2013. The court hearing is set for this upcoming Friday (Jan. 25, 2013).
MMA Payout has the details:
As in all preliminary injunctions, the threshold Alvarez's attorneys must prove for the Court to grant the preliminary junction is:According to Court papers filed in New Jersey state Court by Alvarez's attorney, Zuffa will not promote or contract with Alvarez until it has Court permission. It has to do so within 90 days of the event. Thus, the deadline is January 27th (the hearing is set for Friday the 25th since the 27th is Sunday).
The hearing is to show cause as to "why Bellator should not be restrained from interfering with Alvarez's prospective contract with Zuffa and why Alvarez should not be permitted to contract with Zuffa, so that he may participate in Zuffa's April 27, 2013 event.
To make things even more interesting, according to a recent report from Sports Illustrated, the UFC has strengthened its initial offer to Eddie Alvarez, clearing up some of the language and guaranteeing him a fight on a pay-per-view (PPV) for his debut with the promotion.1) the likelihood of success on the merits;
2) that Alvarez will suffer irreparable harm if the injunction is denied;
3) that granting the preliminary relief will not result in even greater harm to the nonmoving party (Bellator); and
4) that the public interest favors such relief.
Here are the details of the new offer:
This would make things much more difficult for Bellator to match the deal because the promotion does not put any of its events on PPV and the guarantee of a PPV fight would likely get around the tricky language that Bellator used to "match" the initial contract."Zuffa currently has a standing offer to Alvarez for a bout at UFC 159 in late April, but has altered its original contract offer to include the pay-per-view revenue perk (in addition to the negotiated $75,000 show and $75, 000 win purses), despite it not being a title fight. According to Alvarez's UFC offer, included in Bellator's complaint, the fighter stands to make an additional $1.00 for every buy between 200,000-400,000 units, $2.00 for each buy sold between 400,000- 600,000 units and $2.50 for each buy sold over 600,000 units."

Cook Athenaeum. We are the student fellows:
Scott Palmer, Elizabeth Pontefract, and Tyson Roberts.
The three of us are extremely excited about the
upcoming year. The speaker variety ranges from Christopher Columbus to Queen Ida's Cajun band and
covers areas from the Soviet Union to Southern California. It is an amazing prospect that we get to meet these
people and gain insight into their lives. We hope that all
students will take advantage of this opportunity. Our
focus this year is to facilitate student interaction with the
speakers and the faculty members who frequent the
From the outset, we want to stress that the Athenaeum is primarily for students. Our policy is to focus on
students' needs first. However, we need your help. As
some of you are already aware, there is a reception prior
to all dinners. This is a fantastic opportunity for
students to mingle with the speaker, faculty, administrators, and other students. If you are having any
problems getting a chance to talk with the speaker
during this time, please come up to any of us and we
will be more than happy to introduce you.
Another opportunity to meet the speaker on a more
informal basis is to sit at the head table. The conversations over dinner often provide an opportunity to
discuss the speaker's life, rather than the more formal
topic of the speech itself. You'd be amazed at some of
the anecdotes our guests have stored up. Sometimes,
speakers like to hear about life at CMC, so you can swap
college stories with them.
After the speeches we like to have about twenty to
thirty minutes of questions and answers. In the past,
many students seemed to be a bit tentative about raising
questions. We hope to see that change this year. If you
have time before or during dinner, try to think of
questions in advance. If you had the opportunity to chat
with the speaker at the reception or over dinner, after
the speech you could ask him or her to elaborate on
something you discussed.
In addition to the array of captivating speakers, the
Athenaeum offers the traditional Madrigal Feast in
December and the new Halloween Night of the
Macabre. For less formal gatherings, afternoon teas are
always a popular way to break up the afternoon. Also,
every Wednesday at noon there is an Open Forum
lunch where students and faculty gather to talk about
class, life, or current issues. The food is good and the
conversation is great, so think about dropping by.
All in all, we want you to feel as at home at the
Athenaeum as we have come to be over the last few
years. If you have any suggestions or concerns, or if you
would like to sit at the head table or even introduce a
speaker, call us or drop a note in our box in the
Athenaeum office. We look forward to meeting you
during the year.

Washington Spirit midfielder Diana Matheson was sure Canadian Women's National Team teammate Robin Gayle was joking back in March when she told her the two would be sharing an apartment in Rockville's Ingleside at King Farm retirement community during the spring and summer's inaugural National Women's Soccer League season.
"I found out about two weeks before we were coming here. We were with the [Canadian] National Team at the time and Robin told me we were going to be living in a retirement home. I didn't think she was being serious," Matheson said.
It seemed the two young professional soccer players — Matheson is 29 and Gayle is 27 — would have little if anything in common with their neighbors, whose average age is 81 according to Ingleside at King Farm Executive Director Marilyn Leist.
But Matheson and Gayle immersed themselves in their new community — they're currently learning to play bridge — and in turn, have opened the fledging Washington Spirit to an entirely new demographic.
"This whole team wouldn't exist without community support and I think this is another facet to get a different demographic involved that probably otherwise wouldn't have been. The situation for us so far has been fantastic. We've met some amazing people there and I know a lot of people there are getting involved with the team, people have been interested all [season]," Matheson said.
Like the Spirit's leading scorer, Leist said she was wary of the setup when it was first proposed to her by Steve Gurney, the publisher of "Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook." Gurney knew of a story out of Cleveland where an assisted living community hosted a male baseball player for a season. When Gurney became aware that the Washington Spirit was looking for temporary housing accommodations for some of its players, he presented the idea to Leist, she said.
"When the request first came to me, I was dumbfounded. I didn't know whether it would be a good idea or not," Lesit said. "Then Steve came and showed me a video on the Cleveland [baseball player]. Once I saw that video I decided that we would go ahead and do it. A lot of times [young people] today don't have contact with elderly people and don't have any idea that these people are still pretty vibrant and knowledgeable."
Matheson, Gayle and as of June 18, German Women's National Team striker Conny Pohlers, whom the Spirit acquired last month on loan, share in a symbiotic relationship with the Ingleside residents.
The Ingleside community has become extremely invested in the team — about 20 residents are taken by bus to the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds for every home game. Matheson said she and her teammates have learned from their neighbors' life experience.
Ingleside is sponsoring tonight's home game against the Chicago Red Stars. Two hundred staff members, residents and family members plan on attending the contest, scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., Leist said.
Matheson's penalty kick in the 87th minute of Washington's 1-1 tie against visiting FC Kansas City on July 3, her team-high fifth goal, snapped the Spirit's five-game scoring drought dating back to the team's first and only NWSL win, a 4-2 decision in Seattle May 16.
Though Washington (1-8-4) fell, 1-0, to the league's top team, Sky Blue FC out of New Jersey/New York Saturday, the team seems headed in the right direction under newly hired coach Mark Parsons — the team announced July 1 that after a rough first half of the season it was parting ways with former coach Mike Jorden, who had coached the D.C. United Women for two seasons at the SoccerPlex.
Parsons said becoming a more offensive-minded team is the goal. In his first two contests — against Kansas City and the Sky Blue — Washington has employed a 4-3-3 formation. The Spirit played more aggressive possession soccer and had Sky Blue under pressure for much of Saturday's contest, but gave up a late goal.
Perhaps 200 members of its most unlikely, but extremely invested fan base from Ingleside will help propel Washington to its first win in two months.
"I know we've learned a lot from [the Ingleside residents]," Matheson said. "We've met some amazing people with some really cool stories. A lot of them have so much life experience and knowledge. And I think we've given them another outlet into the community, another way of being involved in the community, something to follow."

A lack of court reporters has caused court in Aiken County to shut down twice this month, according to the Aiken County Clerk of Court, but a state official said the problem is not as severe as it seems.
Aiken County Clerk of Court Liz Godard said shortages in court reporters have caused problems with the court system for about two years.
"It's gotten more prevalent recently," she said, adding that two days earlier this month were canceled because the state could not provide a court reporter.
"When court is on hold, no one can work or go forward, and all the work you've prepared to get there cannot proceed because there's no court reporter to take down the record," Godard said.
Court reporters are provided and assigned by the S.C. Court Administration. There are currently 106 court reporters serving 46 counties in South Carolina and 22 job vacancies, according to Rosalyn Frierson, director of the Court Administration.
A court reporter is responsible for creating word-for-word transactions of legal proceedings. Aiken County can have up to four courts operating at anytime: criminal, civil, family and non-jury, said Godard. Larger communities like Columbia, Greenville and Charleston can have many more.
Godard said civil court was canceled next week because all the scheduled cases either settled or continued; however, she found out on Monday that a court reporter was not available for family court. She was then told on Tuesday that a civil court reporter was moving to family court.
"If our court administration had not found a court reporter, I would have had to cancel family court next week, or day by day," Godard said. "It is a juggling game as to who is available and then finding one."
Court schedules are worked out well in advance, said Godard.
"We work with the attorneys on both sides and their clients, and if something happens, we have to call those and reschedule, so all that work we've done we have to re-do," she said.
Canceling court has far-reaching effects for many, said Godard. If court is canceled on a Wednesday, which is when child support rule cases are typically heard, up to 150 cases will not be heard and civil process staff will have to "start over again, because they had a court date and we just canceled it," Godard said.
If someone is picked up on a bench warrant on a Friday night and court is canceled on Monday, that defendant could have to wait until Tuesday to go before a judge, Godard said. The lack of court reporters also has financial implications, such as when jury summons are sent out to 200 potential jurors.
"If we don't have court because there's no court reporter, they're coming to court, they're being paid $20 a day and then I send them home," Godard said. "There's a lot of scenarios that can happen if there's no court reporter or judge."
Frierson said the administration is hiring court reporters "as fast as we can." She added that there has been an exaggeration about the reported shortage.
"It's being made to seem like there's a crisis, but I wouldn't say there's a crisis," she said. "There's a situation that occurred in Aiken recently, but that's not to say that it's a crisis statewide."

The IRS released final regulations Tuesday on the Sec. 5000A shared-responsibility payment—the penalty or tax imposed on individual taxpayers who do not obtain minimum essential health care coverage beginning in 2014 (known as the "individual mandate") (T.D. 9632).
The final rules adopt the proposed regulations issued in January with a few clarifications (REG-148500-12). They also cross-refer to rules issued July 1 by the Department of Health and Human Services governing eligibility for and granting certain exemptions from the shared-responsibility payment, which include circumstances in which insurance exchanges will grant hardship exemptions from the requirement to obtain minimum essential health care coverage (78 Fed. Reg. 39494 (July 1, 2013)).
On Tuesday, the Treasury Department also released a fact sheet discussing the final rules.
Under Sec. 5000A, starting next year, a taxpayer will be liable for the shared-responsibility payment if the taxpayer or any nonexempt individual whom the taxpayer may claim as a dependent for a tax year does not have minimum essential coverage in a month included in that tax year. Married taxpayers filing a joint return are jointly liable for the payment.
The regulations cover the following topics:
Minimum essential coverage is defined as coverage under a government-sponsored program (Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, the Children's Health Insurance Program, etc.), an eligible employer-sponsored plan (defined in Regs. Sec. 1.5000A-2(c)), a plan in the individual market (generally insurance through a health care exchange), a health plan grandfathered under the health care acts (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), P.L. 111-148, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, P.L. 111-152), or other health benefits coverage that has been recognized as minimum essential coverage by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Regs. Sec. 1.5000A-2). Exempt individuals include:
The final regulations were changed from the proposed rules to clarify that medical coverage offered to employees by an organization acting on an employer's behalf qualifies as an employer-sponsored plan. The final rules also add to the definition of government-sponsored plans that qualify for minimum essential coverage the Nonappropriated Fund Health Benefits Program offered by the Defense Department, and Treasury is considering whether other government programs might qualify. And the final regulations clarify that a self-insured health plan is an eligible employer-sponsored plan, regardless of whether it could be offered in a large or small group market in a state.
Generally, health plans must be offered through an exchange in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia. However, PPACA permits territories of the United States to create exchanges. Accordingly, the final regulations provide that a qualified health plan offered through an exchange in a U.S. territory meets the definition of a plan in the individual market within a state.
A number of suggestions that the IRS received about the proposed rules were not incorporated into the final regulations, but the IRS will be issuing further guidance or is reserving space in the regulations for that guidance. For example, a rule in the proposed regulations provided for an irrevocable election for taxpayers to use a simplified method to determine the cost of a health plan in the rating area where the taxpayer resides. In response to a request to make the election revocable, the IRS removed the election and reserved the space to offer a different rule. The regulations apply to months beginning after Dec. 31, 2013, when the Sec. 5000A penalty first applies. In 2012, the individual mandate was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court as a permissible exercise of Congress's taxing powers under the Constitution (National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, Sup. Ct. Dkt. No. 11-393 (U.S. 6/28/12)).

Hohner is a well-known name in the music industry, with millions of enthusiasts playing their instruments the world over. Best known for the harmonica and melodica, Hohner also produces accordions and guitars. This profile of products has given Hohner a presence in virtually all musical styles, in the hands of musicians at every skill level.
Collaboration is one of the keys to Hohner's design process, taking feedback from musicians into account when they develop their instruments. What they've done with that feedback is to build instruments to a high standard of reliability. Hohner products can be heard in settings ranging from Asian harmonica orchestras to humble jazz clubs, and they sound great wherever they're played.
Like many instrument manufacturers, Hohner started out as a small shop. The company was founded in 1857 by Matthias Hohner and eventually grew to become the most recognizable brand name in harmonicas. Though they also make outstanding guitars and accordions, the company's focus is still on its roots as a harmonica maker, and Hohner's harps have been played by some truly legendary musicians.
Without a doubt, the greatest Hohner success story is that of Bob Dylan. His name is instantly recognized by any music lover, and his personal style of music is well-known for combining elements of many different genres. In his performances, Dylan often accompanied his guitar with a harmonica and a Hohner Marine Band was a frequent sight on his neck rack. That instrument helped Dylan create the expressive moods his music is known for, and his use of the Marine Band helped to make it one of the world's most popular harmonicas in turn.
You can't go wrong by taking a page out of Bob Dylan's book and adding a Marine Band harmonica to your collection. Any of Hohner's accordions, melodicas, guitars or other harps will be a great performer as well—their reputation for making quality instruments is well-deserved.

We sweat to regulate our body temperature, but sometimes life changes such as pregnancy or menopause can create excessive sweating. Other times, people experience excessive sweating without life changes. This is known as hyperhidrosis, which you can learn more about on this page. In addition, WebMD has an article about the causes of excessive sweating.

Lawmakers work on higher gas taxMarch 10,2013MONTPELIER — A Vermont House committee is soon expected to finish a gasoline tax increase that would take effect over the next two years.
The House Transportation Committee is expected to approve a 2 percent sales tax on gasoline that would take effect in June. In July of 2014, the sales tax would go up another 2 cents on a dollar, to 4 percent.
Meanwhile, in fiscal 2015, the cents-per-gallon tax would drop by nearly 6 cents from its current level of 19 cents per gallon. The upshot would be nearly $26 million more in gasoline taxes collected by the state.
Lawmakers have been looking for ways to shore up transportation revenues. Declining sales of gasoline have cut into revenues from gasoline taxes that historically have been raised mainly on a per-gallon basis.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

The McFarlane Toys Collector's Club is undergoing several changes that all current Club members and future members need to be aware of.
We're in the process of moving the Club from Michigan to the existing Tempe, Arizona, office to help consolidate and centralize our operations. This operation involves moving people, toys, computer servers and the like.
What does this mean for Club members? Well, it signals a fundamental upgrade in approach with the MTCC. From now on, the Club will concentrate on producing exclusive figures, products and new repaints for members.
As far as the mechanics of the Club, ordering will still be the same: Web, fax, mail or phone, though those numbers and address will likely change. We'll provide that information as soon as it's available. For 2001, we have reluctantly had to forgo the second-quarter flyer due to the logistics of the move. The good news is, the two remaining flyers for the year will be jam-packed full of new goodies. In more good news, ALL current Club members have had their memberships extended for six additional months.
The Collector's Club message board on spawn.com will still be active to answer questions, run contests and tease you with hints about upcoming exclusives. You may notice a delay in shipping of current orders and we may have to stop taking orders for a short period while the changeover takes place. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience. Look for the new and improved Club flyer (including a certain accessory pack everyone's excited about) in August.

The Hawks were given free points by the Soaring Eagles who were docked with 16 service errors in the match.
Scott Ross hit well collecting 6 kills and no hitting errors in 13 attempts. Adam Weaver finished with 9 kills and 12 digs, while David Mellerski tossed 18 assists and added 12 digs. Ryan Ratajczakbattled to 10 digs.
Elmira had a balanced attack with five different players hitting five or more kills. Evan Clarke had 19 digs and Michael Vellutato added 30 assists.
The Hawks have a few days off from competition before they travel to Juniata College to face the #2 nationally ranked Juniata and the #12 ranked Stevenson on March 2nd.

The History Press is pleased to introduce the new title: "Arsenal of History: The Powder Magazine of South Carolina" by R. Alan Stello Jr. and edited by John R. Young.
The Powder Magazine was completed circa 1713 as an arsenal to safely store munitions in the South Carolina colonial capital of Charles Town, serving continuously in defense through the 1740s and periodically until the 1820s.
Rescued from destruction in 1902, the building has served as a museum for more than a century, inspiring countless other historic conservation efforts.
Museum Director Alan Stello presents the story of the state's oldest public building by establishing connections between the arsenal and the significant episodes it has witnessed.
Readers will enjoy an introductory look at South Carolina colonial military history while gaining an appreciation for this icon of history and preservation.
A native of Charleston, Alan Stello is the director of The Powder Magazine museum and the president of Historic Places of Charleston. Educated at Charleston Southern University (history and political science), Strayer University (public administration) and through the National Association for Interpretation, Stello's expertise is museum administration and educational program development.
As an eighteenth-century-weapons enthusiast, Stello volunteers as a living historian for several heritage-based organizations.
He enjoys listening to classical music, woodworking, watching bad movies, playing punk rock guitar, studying political science, camping at Colonial Dorchester, being a citizen of the Red Sox Nation and traveling with his wife, Kelly.
This new book is available at local stores and online at www.historypress.net.
