    Apple has finally done it. Apple has released its new tablet device, that is. The Mac public was expecting, indeed clamoring — for Apple to release such a device — and soon! For Apple to have failed to do so would have been a major letdown (to its customers as well as its stockholders). The momentum was just impossible to resist.

    After all, the iPhone is essentially a miniature tablet computer. Apple has shown that it can “do” such a device like no one else. So, despite Steve Jobs past protestations, releasing a new tablet was a no-brainer. All Apple had to do is scale up its brilliant interface to a larger device.

    Did I say “all Apple had to do?” The technical challenges in producing this new device, called the iPad, were enormous. Apple had to essentially design a whole new operating system that is not quite the Mac and not quite the iPhone, rewrite its core applications from scratch, and basically rethink the entire way a computer operates.

    Apple was not the first to release a new tablet computer, just as it was not the first to release an MP3 player or cell phone, but it may well be the company that succeeds in making the tablet computer truly “catch fire” with the public.

    Apple has a tremendous head start with 140,000+ apps for the iPhone, and it wisely designed the iPad to take advantage of them. The iPad can run iPhone apps at their original size, or in “pixel doubled mode” twice the size as on the iPhone, so that they nearly fill the iPad screen. Developers can easily rewrite their iPhone apps specifically for the iPad in such a way as to take advantage of its new features.

    How will the iPad affect Internet marketers? Of course, the “i” in its name stands for Internet (and it’s also a clever play on the name of the “iPod”). Surfing the web will be a joy, and a larger screen will give users much more room to work with. Apple’s developers brag that it’s like “holding the entire Internet in your hand,” or like reading a physical book or magazine.

    GPS Navigation, or Global Positioning System navigation, determines the location of the GPS device on or just above the planet Earth. There are many devices these days that feature GPS navigation, ranging from cars, cell phones, portable computers and compasses. Where ancient mariners had to use the stars to navigate, we can use devices among the stars to tell us where we are.

    A GPS navigation device contains a small radio receiver micro-chip that uses information received from multiple GPS satellites to determine the exact location of the receiver, virtually anywhere on the planet. It uses more the just one satellite as the location is determined based on the information received from satellites in different positions and orbits above them. This type of positioning   is called triangulation and it is very effective. continue reading…

    Most modern businesses have some kind of IT system to help them complete various tasks on a day to day basis. In a very small business this may consist of a single computer connected to the internet. Larger businesses may have hundreds of computers all networked together, as well as having access to the online world.

    What is working in your business? Perhaps more importantly, what isn’t?

    The most important thing to be aware of is the fact that no two businesses are likely to have the same IT needs. This means you must look at every aspect of your own business to decide what kind of system would suit your needs the best. Even a similar business in the same line of work will do things differently to you. Looking at such a business may give you no clues as to what you should aim for yourself – and it could even send you in the wrong direction.

    When you are thinking about changing or upgrading your IT system, it pays to start by looking at how your business runs on a day to day basis. You may well be able to identify processes that are working well for you, as well as those which leave a considerable amount of room for improvement. What would you like to change if you could?

    Beirut (RPN) – IT spending in the Middle East continues to rise, with five-year forecasts in some markets approaching the $5 billion mark. Saudi Arabia’s highly lucrative market for technology products and services was valued at $3.5 billion last year, and projected to expand to $4.8 billion by 2013 – a compound annual growth rate of 8%.

    Information Technology experts surveyed by RPN predicted that IT spending in the region will prove resilient despite ongoing financial turbulence in the region and in the global markets.

    “We expect growth in IT spending in the MENA region next year, despite the uncertain economic environment and global financial crisis,” Johnny Karam, director for Symantec, in the MENA region, told RPN. “We project that spending in the region will outpace that seen in European markets, driven by sheer necessity,” Karam explains.

    “Growth in infrastructure demands greater technological and security investments; upgrades to communications infrastructure will continue to be a driving force,” he added.
