FYI; Mike Bruzzone, Camp Marketing
Appears in the 19th IEEE International Symposium on High Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA 2013)
Power Struggles: Revisiting the RISC vs. CISC Debate
on Contemporary ARM and x86 Architectures
Emily Blem, Jaikrishnan Menon, and Karthikeyan Sankaralingam
University of Wisconsin - Madison
RISC vs. CISC wars raged in the 1980s when chip area and
processor design complexity were the primary constraints and
desktops and servers exclusively dominated the computing landscape.
Today, energy and power are the primary design constraints
and the computing landscape is significantly different:
growth in tablets and smartphones running ARM (a RISC ISA)
is surpassing that of desktops and laptops running x86 (a CISC
ISA). Further, the traditionally low-power ARM ISA is entering
the high-performance server market, while the traditionally
high-performance x86 ISA is entering the mobile low-power device
market. Thus, the question of whether ISA plays an intrinsic
role in performance or energy efficiency is becoming important,
and we seek to answer this question through a detailed measurement
based study on real hardware running real applications.
We analyze measurements on the ARM Cortex-A8 and
Cortex-A9 and Intel Atom and Sandybridge i7 microprocessors
over workloads spanning mobile, desktop, and server computing.
Our methodical investigation demonstrates the role of ISA
in modern microprocessors' performance and energy efficiency.
We find that ARM and x86 processors are simply engineering
design points optimized for different levels of performance, and
there is nothing fundamentally more energy efficient in one ISA
class or the other. The ISA being RISC or CISC seems irrelevant.

We flew into Cairns at 10:30am, and had time to get to the hotel, have lunch, and walk to the main fleet terminal (where all the boats are docked) for our 1:00pm trip to Green Island.
The crew was very nice and friendly.
Nice beach, clear water, and lots of tropical fish.
IMPORTANT: If you suffer from motion sickness, take Dramamine or something before boarding. The ocean was only mildly choppy, but 10 people got sick, and several threw up.
Doing what: Green Island Half Day Trip from Cairns
Brilliant!! Pleasant ferry crossing an amazing island, swam with the fish in the barrier reef in warm waters. Excellent beaches and good food supplied as part of the deal. Highly recommended.
Doing what: Green Island Day Trip from Cairns
Loved it! Did the glass bottom boat ride and got to see all the wildlife. The glass in the boat isn't that great but good enough to see the fish (definitely get in the water and snorkel to see the fish up close).
Take the walk to the nude beach and see the white sand. A bit quiet on that side of the island and no one really does skivvy down but some pretty cool white sand to see.
There's a few hiking trails on the way to the nude beach which we tried to followed for about 20 minutes before turning back because we had to catch the boat back to Cairns. Yet, if we had more time, we would have followed the trail a lot longer as it was quite pleasant with all the birds chirping and the lizards running around.
And of course, you must snorkel! The water is a bit murky in some areas but you do get to see fish swim right in front of your face. If you miss seeing any fish, just look around the dock - there are tons there! You definitely can't miss them on the way in and out from Fitzroy Island.
Doing what: Fitzroy Island Day Trip from Cairns
We absolutely loved this excursion! The ride to the island was very enjoyable. We took advantage of both the semi-submersible as well as the glass-bottomed boats since neither of us are snorkeling or diving fans. There was enough time to enjoy a visit to the island and spend some time enjoying the beach areas.
Doing what: Green Island Day Trip from Cairns
This trip offers a lovely, quiet, relaxing day out. Whilst staying in Cairns we also visited Green Island whereas this has more sandy beaches it doesn't have the fabulous snorkelling that Fitzroy does. The reef and the fish are absolutely stunning. I loved Fraser Island for the fact that there is not much there at all whereas Green Island is very commercialised. If you are looking for total relaxation, walks in the tropical rain forest up to the summit, a day on the beach or snorkelling this is definitely the place for you. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do the walks as the Forestry Commission were doing controlled burning that day but we still had a great time on the beach. Water sports equipment can be hired from the beach hut and there is also glass bottom boats on offer. On the island there is a dive centre but you might have to contact them direct before your visit should you want a dive here. All in all a great day out.
Doing what: Fitzroy Island Day Trip from Cairns
The ride out to Green Island is fairly quick and smooth, now do be aware that there is a deposit ( money,ID, or a room key) required for the snorkel gear. The island itself is lovely as is the beach. Now I have to assume time of year matters but there was a HUGE drop in tide from morning to afternoon. The staff was friendly, the water so clear, and heaps of coral and fish to see and photograph. As a side note the buffet lunch was tasty and plentiful, but you do need to pay for drinks fyi. Overall a very enjoyable way to spend a day and I would absolutely recommend it.
Doing what: Green Island Day Trip from Cairns
Stunning day. Loved the snorkelling and paddle-boarding and lazing on the beach. Lovely relaxed atmosphere away from it all. Great value for money too. Would highly recommend.
Doing what: Fitzroy Island Day Trip from Cairns
Pick up and drop off were easy. The Catamaran was smooth to Green Island. We had a great day and enjoyed the semi-submersible, glass bottom boat and snorkeling. We did pay the extra for the wet suits and my husband wore his primarily not to get sunburned although they were recommended to prevent any jelly fish stings. I simply could not get mine on and had no problems. Don't forget beach towels, sunscreen and whatever else you need for a day at the beach. Just an FYI: bring your own coffee if you are picky and pack a lunch for the same reason as well as the time factor. We definitely recommend this day tour.
Doing what: Green Island Day Trip from Cairns
Great day out on Green Island. Go early to get the food,plenty of it and loads of seating.Just enough time on the island for some time on the beach and a walk around the island.Only drawback is that the boat is slow compared to some of the other boats going out.
Doing what: Green Island Day Trip from Cairns
Lovely island, snorkelled and swam with a large green turtle. Went for a nice rainforest and beach walk. The weather was superb and the boat trip very pleasant.
Doing what: Green Island Day Trip from Cairns
Great trip! All went really smooth. Not much time on the island with lunch on the boat, the semi sub tour and glass boat tour however. Just enough time to walk around the island and rest by beach or pool for a bit before heading home

Had a very nice day. Trips up and back were fine on the cat, a bit bumpy but we took ginger tablets which helped a lot. Had a great lunch and the submarine was also worth it. Snorkeled and sat on the beach for most of the day.

Fun day at Green Island. Waves were a bit choppy due to the cyclone, but the trip was worth it. Sea turtles were swimming around the island, and the reef was a quick swim away from the beach. The beach was also a great place to relax. Lifeguards were on duty, which was a great peace of mind.
Doing what: Green Island Day Trip from Cairns
Very lovely island. Lots of fun. We found a beach that had very few people and swam in warm and beautiful sea.

United Kingdom
Boat was quite busy, but it only took about 45 minutes to get to Green Island and once there you could walk anywhere on the island and not bump into many people! We snorkelled and saw loads of amazing fish, a stingray and a reef shark! Coral was beautiful. We also walked around the island and had the lunch on board the boat. If you want to rent equipment on the island it was very expensive.. even a sunlounger and umbrella cost an arm and leg! But if you are going to enjoy the island and coral it is well worth it. If you want water sports and to lounge on the beach I think you could find somewhere a lot cheaper.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Officials say six suspected militants have been killed in an American missile attack on a village deep inside Pakistani territory.
It may be the first time the U.S. has struck beyond Pakistan's tribal belt bordering Afghanistan. Intelligence officials say militants have begun moving farther away from the border to avoid missile strikes.
After today's strike, a large Islamist political party warns it will block two major supply routes for U.S and NATO forces unless the attacks end.
Pakistan has protested the attacks as violations of its sovereignty and international law. The U.S. strikes have continued, leading to speculation that the two nations have a secret deal.
Also today, gunmen shot and killed a retired Pakistani army general who had led military operations against militants in the tribal regions.

That's true. When I was working at Walgreens I was fresh out of college. Despite a college degree --- I was working with a salary just above minimum wage. I tried my best at growing in the company but they were downsizing. Needless to say, I could barely support myself at the time let alone anyone else so I didn't date much until recently (that and I believe any dating should be with the intention of "is this person someone that I would potentially like to get to know in order to possibly join in the sacrament of holy matrimony with?) God works in mysterious ways and we should just look at the holy family as our example. St. Joseph being there for our Lord as a carpenter providing for the family be it financially or even fleeing persecution.
Exactly. Back in Biblical days if the man could not support the woman financially there is no way her father would trust him to take care of her. It should be the same way today. Even though we women tend to be a bit more independent and educated today than in Biblical days or even 50 years ago, we still want a leader. Most men get intimidated by women who are educated, opinionated, intelligent, etc. etc. But the truth is that it is such a turn on when a man takes a risk with one of us. Afterall, doesn't he want his future children to have a strong, educated, and intelligent mother? I would certainly hope so. For society's sake and the sake of his children in case something was to happen to him.

Chipmaker Texas Instruments Inc. filed suit against Qualcomm Inc., the wireless telephone technology company, alleging breach of contract in a confidential handset licensing agreement.
Texas Instruments brought its action after receiving reports Qualcomm was offering discounts to handset makers only if they bought CDMA chipsets from the wireless technology provider, Joseph Hubach, the chip maker's general counsel, said in a statement.
A spokeswoman for Texas Instruments said the company could not discuss its lawsuit in greater detail because of the terms of its confidential agreement with Qualcomm.
Texas Instruments and Qualcomm reached an agreement in December 2000, allowing each company to supply integrated circuits for all wireless standards using the other's technology through 2005.
Qualcomm owns most of the patents to CDMA wireless transmission standard, the leading wireless technology in the U.S. and Asia, and faces increasing competition from Texas Instruments.
A spokeswoman for Qualcomm said the company had no comment and had not yet seen Texas Instrument's complaint.
Texas Instruments, the No. 1 maker of semiconductors for mobile phones, asked the court to require Qualcomm to adhere to terms of the cross-licensing agreement and to prohibit Qualcomm from making false or misleading statements about the companies' respective rights and obligations.
The lawsuit, which Texas Instruments said was filed in Delaware Chancery Court, marks continued fighting between the two companies.
Qualcomm filed suit against Texas Instruments on July 25 in the Delaware court over the confidentiality of the agreement. On Sept. 8, Texas Instruments filed a motion to have Qualcomm's suit dismissed. The court has not yet ruled on that motion. (Reuters)

Mazdas now sold at Community Mazda in Tinley Park will be sold by a new dealership a few blocks west on 159th Street in Orland Park. Orland Park trustees on Monday approved a sales tax-sharing agreement with Wilson Automotive Group, which plans to open a Mazda store in a former Mitsubishi dealership at 8910 W. 159th St. The move will clear the way for an expansion of a Bettenhausen Automotive dealership that is directly west of Community Mazda. | Mike Nolan~Sun-Times Media
Updated: June 7, 2014 6:23AM
Orland Park trustees on Monday night approved a sales-tax sharing agreement to help pave the way for a Mazda dealership to open in the village.
The deal with Wilson Automotive Group, which has a Mazda dealership in Countryside, will be worth up to $1.12 million over a period of not longer than seven years. Orland Park will split 50-50 with the dealer revenue generated by the village's 1 percent home-rule sales tax.
Wilson is acquiring the franchise now held by Community Mazda in Tinley Park and will locate in the former Mitsubishi dealership at 8910 W. 159th St. Besides taking the franchise and the vacant Mitsubishi building, Wilson Automotive's investment is expected to be in excess of $6 million, according to the village.
Wilson Automotive is owned by pitcher C.J. Wilson of the Los Angeles Angels. The Orland Park store is expected to open by the end of this month.
Sales could reach $10 million for the remainder of this year, with sales rising to $25 million next year, according to a village document. If those projections prove accurate, that would mean the village and Wilson Automotive would split $100,000 this year and $250,000 in 2015.
Along with selling its Mazda franchise, Community is selling its Tinley Park property to the real estate arm of Chrysler, which will use the site for an expansion of Bettenhausen Automotive's dealership directly west of Community at the southeast corner of 159th Street and 84th Avenue.
Bettenhausen now sells Dodge and Ram vehicles at the store, but a planned $13 million expansion will also bring Chrysler and Jeep vehicles, now sold in Orland Park, to the Tinley Park location.
Tinley Park officials approved a similar sales-tax sharing agreement with Chrysler Group Realty Co., worth as much as $3 million over 10 years, to help defray the cost of that project.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab goes on sale in a couple of weeks in the US. Will it sizzle or will it fizzle? My guess is something in between.
Here's what Steve Jobs had to say about the forthcoming bunch of tablets, led by the Galaxy Tab:
First, it appears to be just a handful of credible entrants, not exactly an avalanche. Second, almost all of them use seven-inch screens as compared to iPad's near 10-inch screen . . . [The] screens on the seven-inch tablets are a bit smaller than the bottom half of the iPad display.
[E]very tablet user is also a smartphone user. No tablet can compete with the mobility of a smartphone, its ease of fitting into your pocket or purse, its unobtrusiveness when used in a crowd. Given that all tablet users will already have a smartphone in their pockets, giving up precious display area to fit a tablet in our pockets is clearly the wrong trade off. The seven-inch tablets are tweeners, too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with an iPad.
[The] iPad now has over 35,000 apps on the App Store. This new crop of tablets will have near zero . . . and [ ] our potential competitors are having a tough time coming close to iPad's pricing, even with their far smaller, far less expensive screens.
Endgadget is out with its Galaxy Tab review. The gadget blog generally likes the hardware but says the device lacks app support. I haven't used one so I can't comment; however I think the pricing is wrong. It ranges from $399 for the two-year contract subsided version (Sprint, T-mobile) to $599 or $699 for the "unlocked" version of the device.
Here's the problem. The contract version is $100 too expensive and can't (apparently) be used as phone, other than with VoIP providers. The unlocked versions are too expensive when compared with the larger-screen iPad. The right way to do this would have been to enable the device to be used as a smartphone substitute. Then the $399 price is more palatable.
But as Jobs suggested most Tab buyers will have a smartphone already. So they're not going to want to buy yet another carrier contract. They're likely to wait for the WiFi version and buy it unlocked. But then it's too expensive for a device that in most respects is inferior to Apple's tablet.
My prediction is that when it becomes available in a couple of weeks there will be decent but not great sales for the Samsung device. If it had been priced more aggressively it might have flown off the shelves. Apparently the Galaxy Tab cost $200 to manufacture so a $300 price point cuts deeply into margins. But the right price for the (subsidized) Galaxy Tab would have been $299.
By this time next year we should have several Android tablets in market, together with an HP WebOS tablet and a few windows-based tablets. RIM's Playbook will also be out. The market will be a great deal more interesting and potentially confusing as consumers try and navigate all the device choices and how to connect them all to the Internet in the most economical way. (This is a huge issue: consumers want the best devices and unlimited connectivity at the cheapest prices; carriers want to thwart that objective.)
For the time being Apple owns 95% of the global tablet market according to Strategy Analytics:
After a price of $599 from Verizon and BestBuy's rebate-free $499, Sprint comes in with the right price for the Galaxy Tab: $399. The catch is that it requires a two-year agreement. Data plans start at $29.99. According to the release:
It will cost $399.99 (taxes not included) with a new line or eligible upgrade and two-year service agreement on a 3G Tablet Mobile Broadband plan. Sprint customers will have two rate plans to choose from for their Samsung Galaxy Tab: a 2GB data plan with unlimited messaging for $29.99 per month or a 5GB data plan with unlimited messaging for $59.99 per month (plus taxes and surcharges).
The device in California will cost an addition $50 or so because it's taxed a full price, not the subsidized price. Beyond this, now with tiered pricing, nobody really understands what these levels (2GB, 5GB) mean as a practical matter.
But Sprint is getting the price right in my opinion. It appears that it can be used as a phone, although pricing for voice + data isn't present on the Sprint site. Clearly one could use a VoIP service like Skype (or eventually Google Voice) for this device.
We'll now see if Steve Jobs' prediction that the 7" tablets won't sell comes true. He argued that they're neither large enough to provide a great "larger screen" experience nor small enough to fit in your pocket. I'm guessing Sprint's Galaxy Tab is going to be pretty popular, however.
It will be available on November 14.
Despite the boffo $20 billion quarter Apple enjoyed, the iPad sold fewer units than some analysts were anticipating. It's not entirely clear whether this "under-performance" was attributable to supply constraints or less robust demand, though many believe it's the former.
Nonetheless, we heard on the Apple earnings call why Steve Jobs thinks that the iPad will continue to lead the category for some time: screen size, apps/software and price. Here's an edited portion of the earnings call transcript where Jobs discusses tablets:
First, it appears to be just a handful of credible entrants, not exactly an avalanche. Second, almost all of them use seven-inch screens as compared to iPad's near 10-inch screen . . . [The] screens on the seven-inch tablets are a bit smaller than the bottom half of the iPad display.
[E]very tablet user is also a smartphone user. No tablet can compete with the mobility of a smartphone, its ease of fitting into your pocket or purse, its unobtrusiveness when used in a crowd. Given that all tablet users will already have a smartphone in their pockets, giving up precious display area to fit a tablet in our pockets is clearly the wrong tradeoff. The seven-inch tablets are tweeners, too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with an iPad.
[The] iPad now has over 35,000 apps on the App Store. This new crop of tablets will have near zero . . . and [ ] our potential competitors are having a tough time coming close to iPad's pricing, even with their far smaller, far less expensive screens.
The 7' Galaxy Tab appeared to be the first viable iPad competitor; however it has received some mixed (though mainly postive reviews). The big question will be how much does it cost? Much of the information available suggests that the contract-subsidized price will be $399 and the full price will be above $600 without the subsidy.
(Jobs all but confirmed with his criticism of the 7" model that there won't be an "iPad nano.")
That Galaxy Tab pricing may not be sufficiently aggressive relative to the iPad, whose entry level pricing is just $100 more. While I see some appeal in the 7" device -- though I admit I haven't used one -- I can see Jobs' point about screen size and diminished user experience. We'll see if the public agrees. His remark that 7" is too small to compete with the iPad and too large to replace a smartphone may be accurate. However, I could imagine some people using the Galaxy Tab as a smartphone replacement.
Beyond the Samsung device there don't really seem to be any truly viable iPad competitors ready for the upcoming, all-important shopping season. If that proves to be true the iPad could well have what may be one of the hottest gift categories out there -- tablets -- all to itself. Plus the availability of the device from Wal-Mart, Target and BestBuy may mean spectacular US sales over the holidays.
Google's much-hyped and much-anticipated ChromeOS notebooks were supposed to appear in Q4 this year. So far none have. But the changed landscape (read iPad) could mean those devices have somewhat diminished appeal -- unless they're very affordable (read: less than $300).
Pew has just released some new survey data (n=3,000) -- a kind of gadget census -- that shows 85% of Americans own cell phones (vs. PCs (59%) or laptops (52%)). Three-fourths of teens have mobile phones and a whopping 96% of 18-29 year olds own mobile phones.
The total US population today is 310,480,361 people according to the US Census Bureau. There are about 225 million adults over age 19 in the US (based on 2008 data). If 85% of them (which doesn't include teens) own mobile phones that means 191,250,000 adults in the US today, using the Pew data.
According to comScore there are 212.6 million PC Internet users (August, 2010). When cell-phone owning teens are included (30.2 million) there are 221.5 million mobile phone owners in the US. Mobile Internet penetration varies based on handset type (feature phone, smartphone, iPhone). But the aggregate Nielsen mobile Internet number is now 80 million people in the US.
Globally JP Morgan and others have predicted mobile Internet penetration and access will be greater than PC Internet access by 2014. In North America we may see the crossover happen a couple of years later -- but it will happen.
Here's the demographic breakdown of mobile phone ownership, according to the Pew study:
The Pew data also discuss tablets and eReaders as a growing category. According to Pew, "Around one in ten Americans with annual household incomes of $75,000 or more own a tablet PC or e-book reader, while fewer than 5% of households earning less than $50,000 per year contain one of these devices."
The conventional wisdom is that the "mobile Internet" and rich "web apps" (HTML5) will eventually win over native apps for mobile devices. This has long been Google's position, as well as the favored stance of many in the tech industry. But that logic may not play out as anticipated. My view is that the mobile Web, so-called Web apps and native apps will instead co-exist at least for the near-to-medium term.
Beyond this, in the hierarchy of content on mobile devices, apps may continue to be the favored way that users (consumers, enterprises) access mobile content. A recent survey from IBM of 2,000 IT professionals and developers sees mobile as the leading development platform going forward. The other major trend identified and explored in the survey was cloud computing.
According to the IBM survey:
The majority (55 percent) of survey respondents see mobile application development for devices such as iPhone and Android, and even tablet PCs like iPad and PlayBook, surpassing application development on other platforms over the next five years.
"Do you see mobile application development surpassing application development on other platforms over the next five years?"
Source: IBM, 9/10 n=2,000
The survey didn't ask about mobile Web, vs. Web apps vs. native apps. It was about mobile application development vs. other platforms (PC). But the interest in mobile applications and the bullish nature of the responses suggest that developers will keep building apps, which indirectly means that consumers will keep using them.
While app discovery has become a major problem for developers and brands, mobile applications offer a generally better experience than the pure mobile Web. That fact plus the continuing growth of apps will power consumer usage for the next several years at least.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that many major newspaper publishers are preparing apps for the forthcoming Galaxy Tab (although presumably their existing Android apps would work). It characterizes these efforts as something of a hedge and diversification effort vs. exclusive reliance on the iPad:
Several major news organizations are lining up behind a new tablet device from Samsung Electronics Co. built on Google Inc. software, in order to broaden mobile readership beyond owners of Apple Inc. popular iPad.
New York Times Co. and News Corp.'s Wall Street Journal will offer software applications for Samsung's Galaxy Tab, which goes on sale later this year, according to people familiar with the matter. Gannett Co.'s USA Today also is developing a software application, the publisher said.
The Galaxy Tab is appealing because of it's 7" size, some of its specs and the potential (I believe) to be used as a phone. However it won't fit in your pocket. It remains to be seen how "good" the device is and whether it truly does compete with the iPad. Given the strength of the Galaxy S Android phones it probably will be a strong competitor.
Yet the price -- a rumored $399 with two-year contract and $599 without -- may turn out to be too high to drive mass adoption. I'm guessing here of course. It depends on the device but I suspect most people will not want to buy another two-year contract and so would go for the "unlocked" version. But the $600 price point, $100 more than the low-end iPad.
The smaller form factor and less "elegant" Android OS may cause people to see less value in the smaller but more expensive device. A $399 unlocked price point would have been more like it.

NPD conducted a survey of 500 iPad owners and found that 13% had "bought an iPad instead of a PC, while 24% replaced a planned e-reader purchase with an iPad." Early iPad adopters, buying within two months of launch, are far more likely to own other Apple products (Macs, iPhones), which has already been well established by a number of earlier consumer surveys.
Later buyers (post two months) owned Windows PCs less than the overall population too: "with just 53 percent of iPad owners overall having a Windows desktop compared to 75 percent of total households."
Early adopters reportedly used more of the iPad's features and do more with the device. Here's more from the NPD analyst's blog post:
Satisfaction and usage:
Favorite features/cabilities:
Nielsen put out some interesting data on "connected device" users (iPad, iPhone, Kindle) comparing them demographically and in terms of their response to ads on these devices. Apple iPad users turn out to be younger and more male, and not as affluent as Kindle users according to the survey of "more than 5,000 consumers who already own a tablet computer, eReader, netbook, media player or smartphone – including 400 iPad owners."
However iPad users are much more responsive to advertising than users of other connnected devices, which is very curious. Here are the charts reflecting the findings:
As mentioned, iPad users were more receptive and responsive to ads -- in some cases much more responsive -- than other connected device users. We're not talking about another species here. Is it that the ads on the iPad so far are more engaging or that there's a lack of clutter?
The data about purchase behavior is also very interesting. In the highlighted box in the chart immediately above, it shows that those iPad users who made purchase after an ad exposure did so in the following ways:
In other words the purchase behavior was largely "latent" and took place on other "platforms." This is consistent with the way that online display ads often affect purchase behavior. Tracking and attribution become questions in the wake of these findings.
Overall these data are very interesting and we'll see how advertising on other tablets performs in a few months. Will smaller screens on the 7" or 5" tablets matter to ad performance? I'm not sure; my hypothesis would be yes however.
It appears now, definitively, that the iPad is cannibalizing PC notebook and netbook sales. This has been speculated for some time but new comments and figures appear to confirm it. The chart below was taken from a Morgan Stanely report (via Fortune). In addition, the Wall Street Journal reported that Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn said "internal estimates showed that the iPad had cannibalized sales from laptop PCs by as much as 50%."
The iPad has sold, according to estimates, as many as 4 million to date. It's a massive hit. And there are many aggressive sales estimates out for 2011. One UBS analyst forecast that the iPad would sell 28 million units globally next year.
Those sales projections will depend on the economy but also how viable the iPad's competition is. That brings me to the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which will apparently be offered by all four major wireless carriers in the US and will cost between $200 and $300 depending on the carrier.
See the video demo below, but the Galaxy Tab appears to be the first legitimate Android-based iPad challenger. Or is it an iPad challenger?
Some people will probably be motivated by the lower price and smaller form factor (7") to buy the Galaxy Tab as an alterative to the iPad. But it might also eat into smartphone sales. It will be usable as a phone via the carrier relationships -- making it a much (capital M) better mobile Internet device than a true smartphone.
The iPad made the world safe for the Galaxy Tab, which wouldn't exist but for the iPad. The Galaxy Tab, which will probably be a hit, will make the world safe for other small tablets. And the line between phones and tablets will blur accordingly.
I have been talking about it for four years, but we're now firmly in the era of the "two device scenario," in which people use "Device A" (e.g., tablet) for browsing the (mobile) Internet and a phone for conventional voice communication.
The cost of devices and data plans are gating factors to this world of separate devices for voice and data. In addition many people only want to carry one device. With its larger screen, phone capability and smartphone-like pricing the Galaxy Tab could prove to be that all-in-one device for many people.
Regardless the proliferation of these tablet devices will further eat into netbook and potentially notebook sales even further. We're now truly in a world of mobile computing, where the PC and even the laptop are quickly going to become "secondary" devices.
The opening up of White Spaces for Internet access (both for computers and mobile devices) could be quite a dramatic development. We wrote about this two years ago:
The idea is to create wireless broadband using this spectrum that will effectively ensure continuous and near-universal coverage for internet-connected devices (fixed and mobile). Unlike conventional radio/wireless spectrum, the "unlicensed" part of this means that no one has to pay anything to the FCC to use it. That stands in contrast to the nearly $20 billion paid as part of the recent 700MHz spectrum auction earlier this year (dominated by AT&T and Verizon).
The New York Times reports that the FCC is about to open this spectrum up in the immediate future:
This month, the F.C.C. is likely to approve what could be an even bigger expansion of the unlicensed airwaves, opening the door to supercharged Wi-Fi networks that will do away with the need to find a wireless hot spot and will provide the scaffolding for new applications that are not yet imagined . . .
The stronger, faster networks will extend broadband signals to bypassed rural areas and allow for smart electric grids, remote health monitoring and, for consumers, wireless Internet without those annoying dead zones.
While "no one knows" how this will impact the market in the long term, here are some predictions:
Recognizing the potential threat, carriers, ISPs and other vested interests will attempt to "corner or co-opt" the spectrum to prevent some of these low-cost scenarios from coming to fruition.
Distimo is out with its July report on the various app stores, their pricing and the top ranked apps. There's lots of great data in the report. Here are the big bullets provided by the company:
You can take a look at the report for more. I'll briefly highlight two charts that struck me.
All the app stores have a similar proportion of free to paid apps, except Android which has a much higher percentage of free apps:
The top grossing apps on the iPad and iPhone are much more expensive than the average and it seems to indicate a pretty healthy willingness to pay on the part of Apple users. This will undoutedly make the iOS platform more attractive to certain kinds of publishers and developers.
Mobile loyalty platform CardStar launched an iPad app. It expands the functionality of the company's earlier iPhone app (and other smartphones) by adding coupons and deals that are tied to users' registered loyalty cards. In other words you see the deals for the companies whose cards/programs you've registered on the app.
Here are the features of the new iPad app:
One of the nice things about the new app is that offers saved on the iPad are in the "cloud." So they're automatically logged on the iPhone and other smartphone apps.
People obviously aren't going to bring the iPad to the point of sale. But they can browse deals on the couch and associate them with their registered loyalty cards. By using the iPhone, Android, BlackBerry apps at the POS, users automatically get the benefit of the coupons previously "clipped" on the iPad accordingly.
In addition, one spouse can clip coupons on the iPad and the other one can use the CardStar smartphone app and get the benefit of those coupons at the POS without any knowledge of the spouse's prior iPad clipping activity.
Adding coupons (tied to loyalty cards) is a logical move for CardStar, whose iPad app becomes something analogous to the Sunday circulars. And the automatic linkage of the deals to the loyalty card/account offers a "closed loop" to merchants. CardStar told me that they're were going to greatly expand the variety and range of coupons offered. However I believe offers presented will remain largely "personalized" via the filter of existing loyalty memberships.
CardStar is compiling some fantastic data on user behavior that it can use in a variety of ways to be determined. The company says it's had two million downloads since launch in 2009 and currently has 700,000 active mobile users.
See our earlier posts on CardStar:
By lowering the price and coming out with an improved device, Kindle has established itself as the "iPod of eReaders." Today Amazon said that its new Kindle was selling like mad:
More new generation Kindles were ordered in the first four weeks of availability than in the same timeframe following any other Kindle launch, making the new Kindles the fastest-selling ever. In addition, in the four weeks since the introduction of the new Kindle and Kindle 3G, customers ordered more Kindles on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk combined than any other product, continuing Kindle's over two-year run as the bestselling product across all the products sold on Amazon.com.
The iPad rather than killing Kindle may have helped it buy forcing it to improve and lower its price, and by expanding awareness and the market in general.
Carefully positioned as a "single-purpose" device vs the iPad's multi-function capability, Kindle has carved out a solid position in the market. It threatens to extinguish all eReader competition and has (perhaps in tandem with the iPad) already caused some competitors to cancel products.
For its part the iPad is showing surprising traction in the enterprise market:
When Apple Inc.'s first iPhone came out in 2007, many companies told their employees that the device wasn't appropriate for the workplace. The iPad is a different story.
The company's tablet-style device seems to be sidestepping the resistance that the iPhone and other consumer-oriented devices have faced in the corporate environment. Indeed, many businesses have raced to snap up iPads.
In addition a recent global survey of 1,100 "mobile workers" by iPass found that just over one quarter of them intended to buy an iPad:
There's a report out this morning that Verizon will be launching an iPad competitor in the form of an HTC built Android Tablet on November 26 in the US market. It will likely be the first genuine iPad competitor to hit.
As with Android (vs. iPhone) in general it will likely not be as polished as the iPad -- though here Flash availability may be a differentiator -- but it will likely be pretty strong or "good enough" for many people -- especially if it's cheap.
The key issue will be cost. Here's what we said not long ago about the question of iPad challengers and pricing:
There is unlikely to be any single Android tablet that "wins" in terms of overall user experience and quality vs. the iPad -- though flash may play a larger differentiating role on tablets than it has one smartphones.
But price will be a significant factor in buying behavior, as it always is.
The market has been established by the iPad, now it's "safe" for competitors to ape the iPad but at lower price points. And if those devices are "good enough" the lower prices will be persuasive to many consumers who don't want to pay more than $500 for a device that isn't a full computer replacement.
Verizon might totally subsidize it in exchange for a two-year data agreement or there might be a couple of price points tied to memory and/or the existence of a data contract. But you can bet that the price will seek to undercut the iPad by a significant margin.
Related: Verizon is going to make FIOS TV available via the iPad . . . and presumably this Android tablet.
A PC World article argued that the "iPad Killers" are already dead before they're launched because Apple is locking up the supply of components needed to make competing tablets. There's also the separate question of whether competing tablets will measure up in terms of quality. However dozens of lower-cost Android tablets are anticipated over the next year.
Specifically a new Augen Android tablet is reportedly coming to Kmart stores in the US. Positioned as an eBook reader it's got full Web browsing capability and WiFi as well as access to all the Android apps. The price is $150.
Here's a video demonstration:
There is unlikely to be any single Android tablet that "wins" in terms of overall user experience and quality vs. the iPad -- though flash may play a larger differentiating role on tablets than it has one smartphones.
But price will be a significant factor in buying behavior, as it always is.
The market has been established by the iPad, now it's "safe" for competitors to ape the iPad but at lower price points. And if those devices are "good enough" the lower prices will be persuasive to many consumers who don't want to pay more than $500 for a device that isn't a full computer replacement.
Price reductions have been the driving factor in Kindle's recent sales success, having dipped to $189 (it will likely fall further). I imagine we'll see a decent sub-$100 Android tablet emerge at some point as well. Price competition will likely mean millions of tablets in US homes over the next several years, with corresponding implications for advertising and e-commerce.
Although Microsoft chose not to provide us with a demo unit this time, we've come to understand that the company has done an excellent job of integrating Tellme's speech recognition features into the Windows Mobile 7 workflows. Greg Sterling's post from the Bing event noted the integration of Tellme in passing and provided this link to a video demonstration. The Speech@Microsoft group has adopted the "press and hold the home key" convention to invoke speech recognition which, in turn, can be used for voice dialing, to search for local businesses or to launch one of the apps on the device.
The latter two services reflect an equally deep integration of Bing and Bing Maps as the default search engine and geographic information services, respectively. As Greg notes, contrary to some of the early, very critical, reviews of the Windows Mobile 7 OS, invoking and providing commands to apps doesn't have to involve never-ending scrolling - just a few well-chosen utterances. A Microsoft spokesperson noted that alternative search service providers would be able to submit "apps or hubs for the Windows Phone 7", but it is unclear (and doubtful) that they would enjoy the same level of integration with Tellme's voice command structure.
Tellme's co-founder and entrepreneur can add "serial" to his title now that his latest company, Flipboard, successfully launched its eponymous product and initial set of services. The Flipboard app for iPad is a dynamic mashup of newsfeeds and social media features. Users are greeted with a front page along with the invitation to "flip" through to a "Contents" page that displays multiple frames of "flippable" content: including rapid access to feeds from Facebook and Twitter as well as multiple categories of curated content with names like FlipStyle, FlipPhotos, FlipBusiness (you get the idea).
In addition to the sui generis Flip(fill-in-the-blank) there are some preselected "winners" like GigaOm, The Onion, All Things D, The Economist and a few others that streamline access to content from popular online news sources and social media. Once selected, the source can be navigated by using intuitive finger gestures (flipping). There are also icons on each story that users can touch to "like" that story or to "reply" to the original post with a comment. It's that simple... Almost.
We characterized the launch as a "success" only if you measure success by "overcapacity" (a variant of Apple/AT&T's formula for demand creation). Featured prominently on the "Contents" page of Flipboard are the obligatory links to Facebook and Twitter. However, flipping to those links initiates a "pop-up" message thanking the customer for downloading the (free) app and admitting that "we are currently limiting the rate at which we are accepting new Facebook and Twitter connections" The good news is that they believe it will take only "several hours" to "deploy new server infrastructure". This makes it a shorter wait than the line at the Apple store on the first day of iPhone4 sales.
As for the business side of Flipboard. The company has reportedly closed a $10+ million Series A round from Kleiner Perkins. As for monetization strategies, the company is admittedly "early stage" but, with leading branded content providers showing such deep interest on the new user interface and navigation technique, advertisers will not be far behind; nor will ideas for subscription services.
In the slate/tablet and reader world there are essentially three major competitors: iPad, Kindle and Android. However, in the "waiting in the wings" category we have HP, which has promised to release one or more tablets based on WebOS and perhaps Windows.
RIM is also about to bring out a tablet and Microsoft has vowed not to lose out in burgeoning market either.
A year from now we'll know more, after all these various devices show up and there are a dozen or so modestly priced Android tablets in the market. I predict that "pure" eReaders will fade or entirely disappear unless they're priced very aggressively or seriously upgraded.
Kindle's price is now down to $189 and Kindle DX recently upgraded and the price dropped to $379. Still at $379, DX has very little chance of gaining traction in the market unless it morphs into a more full-functioning tablet.
But even the original, six inch Kindle won't be able to survive unless it too dramatically upgrades or re-prices itself. That's because there will be a slew of $199 or just over $200 Android tablets. The $199 Cruz Reader is just one among many coming.
After the dust settles, the iPad is likely to occupy the "premium" segment as Apple does with laptops and desktops. Android tablets will come from many hardware OEMs but they probably won't be able to charge more than about $350 (and maybe even $250). At the bottom of the pyramid will be the eReaders, which won't be able to charge more than about $150. I'm going to speculate, however, that the price ceiling for eReaders will drop to about $100.
(I'm also going to predict that Amazon will eventually build or release its own Android tablet under the Kindle brand.)
It remains to be seen what comes from RIM and HP/Palm. But what Microsoft should do, with its partners, is develop with a fully functioning PC in a thin and light form factor. It would need a full keyboard that can be detached and/or fits nicely into a case. The iPad, while a great device, can't totally replace a notebook for "content creators."
With the right form factor and capabilities Microsoft (and partners) could probably get up to about $500. And if such a device were to come into being it could be a big hit and also put pressure on the iPad to lower its prices.
Despite early skepticism, the iPad has "made" the market for tablets just as the iPhone opened the door for the current generation of smartphones. Now, just as they did and are doing with the iPhone, Apple's competitors will be compelled to react and define themselves against the Apple tablet in terms of features and price.
The car is the ultimate "mobile device" isn't it? And increasingly cars are becoming "connected" to the Internet. Google now has an impressive roster of car brands on a global basis to which users can send Google Maps directions.
According to the Google LatLong blog:
With today's additions, drivers can send destinations from Google Maps directly to their connected vehicles in 19 countries and more than 20 different brands.
In the US alone, Send-To-Car is now available on more than 15 car brands and we hope to see even more partners join us soon.
On a smaller scale Mapquest and Nokia's Ovi Maps offer in-car integration. However Navteq (owned by Nokia) powers most of the PND devices that operate in vehicles in the US. In Europe it's Teleatlas, owned by TomTom.
Yahoo offers its second look at iPad users on the Yahoo network and Yahoo apps. There's nothing dramatic that the company finds but there are some interesting observations about behavior and audience composition:
The user base continues to skew male, but is becoming more gender-balanced; the male to female ratio moved from 2:1 to 3:2:
The sweet spot for [the iPad] user base continues to be in the 30–54 age range, and that about half of the Yahoo! iPad users have been using Yahoo! for at least six years (see charts below).
Regarding international iPad usage, gender and age distribution are very similar to the US.
In general, the male skew is the same internationally as it is in the U.S., though it is stronger in Japan, where male users outnumber women 4:1. Similarly, the 35–44 age cohort is the largest among all international iPad users on Yahoo!.
These data suggest, among other things, that there are more similarities than differences among early iPad buyers around the globe.
The recently released Pew mobile report featured some interesting data at the end on eReaders and tablets:
These figures illustrate the difficulty and peril of self-reported data and extrapolating that to the larger population. For example, if 3% of US adults (out of a total of about 228 million) actually owned a "tablet computer" that would mean 6.8 million people in the US own them.
The iPad has globally sold something more than 3 million units. Unless people didn't understand what is/was meant by the term tablet computer the survey results overstate the market. There are effectively no other tablets on the market today, except for a couple of isolated Android tablet devices that really haven't penetrated. Windows-based "tablet PCs" have largely failed and so can't be assumed to be part of this response.
Does this inflated result cast some doubt on the larger survey findings? I think directionally they're certainly accurate but may be imprecise, despite the claim of a survey margin of error "plus or minus 2.4 percentage points."

Be your own man, Ratan Tata has advised Cyrus Mistry, who will succeed him at the helm of the $100-billion Tata group two weeks from now. "I don't think it is right to have a ghost to shadow over somebody," says Tata, dismissing any notion that his larger-than-life persona would linger even after he retires on December 28, when he turns 75.
Tata has told Mistry, 31 years younger, "you should be your own person, you should take your own call and you should decide what you want to".
Tata spoke about his 50 years with the group, 21 as its chairman, the highs and lows of his tenure, his equation with Mistry and his post-retirement plans during an expansive interview at his office.
Mistry, currently vice-chairman of the conglomerate that spans automobiles, IT, hotels, tea and steel across 80 countries, has been working closely with Tata to prepare for the transition.
Have you passed on a success mantra to Mistry?, the outgoing chairman was asked. "No, I told him the same things that I told myself when JRD (late JRD Tata) handed over the mantle to me. The first reaction of anybody is to be JRD Tata because you are filling his shoes.
"I instantly told myself, 'I can never do that'. I will never be him much as I try to imitate him. So I took a decision to be myself and to do what I thought was the right thing. I told Cyrus the same thing," he said.
During the transition, Mistry had asked him from time to time, 'is this ok, that ok'. He had responded by telling him that he should look at things as "if I were not there because you should be your own person".
He had told Mistry, "if you want my inputs I will give it to you but be your own man and be yourself and just be driven by the fact that every act you do and every move you make has to stand the test of public scrutiny".
That, he said, was the test he had given himself. "If it stands the test of public scrutiny, do it....if it doesn't stand the test of public scrutiny then don't do it."
Asked if his counsel would be available to his successor, Tata replied, "Yes, certainly. He knows where to reach me and, we in fact, would talk business and stay in touch after I leave."
He then disclosed that

How Pacers, Heat succeed on D
Breaking down Miami's and Indiana's defensive talents and philosophies
There's a simple reason why evaluating what makes certain defenses work and others fail -- and how individuals perform within a defense -- can make you feel like the answers are locked inside a black box. It's because it's not simple at all.
Defense is an incredibly complex thing. Even for players who have learned under the best and most demanding instructors, or coaches who have read countless books and broken down miles of tape, the complexities reveal themselves slowly and inconsistently.
To illustrate just how complex evaluating defense can be, first take a look at this particular exchange during Monday night's matchup of the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers. It exemplifies just how many moving parts and split-second decisions go into a single offensive action and corresponding defensive set.
Indeed, there are hundreds of variables a team considers when deciding on a strategy, and those variables change from player to player, action to action and game to game. Wednesday night's matchup between the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat (7 p.m. ET, ESPN and WatchESPN.com) will illustrate how there is no single way for either team to defend a given offensive action.
However, both Miami and Indiana possess two defensive traits that allow them to be very successful with the particular personnel on their rosters:
1. strong defensive identities
2. one thing each team does better than any other team
Let's break down both Miami's and Indiana's defenses and explain how they are both so successful with very different personnel and philosophies:
