Intel Dual Core Atom Processors comes to Netbooks

Nowadays, no matter desktop or laptop computers all have been used dual, quad and even higher core processors for some time, and netbooks have been left in the dust. Of course, if they are without a processor, it is not as that even wouldn’t make sense; but it is that if they are without any sort of multi core processor, they may be a loser.

Fortunately, Intel has released a new product that we must know that dual core Atom processors have begun to make used in netbooks. However, we don’t know exactly these processors will make their way into which netbooks just yet, but as some reported said that we can tell that Acer, Samsung, ASUS,  MSI, Fujitsu, LG, Lenovo and Toshiba will all have Intel dual core netbooks by the end of this year. We just to name a few, there may be some another brands.

If you are one of these users, you are a luckily one.

It seems that Microsoft really want to do something to extend its phone market because it has found a new way to ensure its mobile platform get some market share by giving phones for free to its employers. Microsoft reporter extraordinaire Mary Jo Foley indicated that more than 90,000 employees in this company will be getting a free windows phone 7.

This is a good way to show its ambition on mobile industry and it also helps to prevent some of the employees from using its rival’s product- iPhone. And to Microsoft employees, it won’t be too embarrassing to use the somehow solid upcoming OS when everybody around has the same one.

Microsoft has shown off an early well-received version of Windows Phone 7 and the early previews also boast that the new “Metro” UI is a unique method to cooperate with a mobile device and the mapping and messaging applications has reached a new height. I’m curious about the Zune multimedia software as well as its reacting with Zune Pass.

But things seems not so pretty good for Windows Phone 7 used to be called as a disaster and the lack of true multitasking and copy and paste is really a hash barrier on its way to winning. In order to win this competition, there are more efforts for the company to take and giving away free handsets won’t last long influence in the terms of future sales. However, what types of apps are in the Windows Marketplace for Mobile will also be an important thing to the long run and Microsoft doing its best to let all be filled at launch, by providing “money to the developers which we have already talked about earlier.

Microsoft is taking action and actually does something to encourage developers to create programs for the forthcoming Windows Phone 7. Paying more is an important measure taken by the company in the new stage of catching up to the Apple App Store and Google Android Market.

Of course, it’s not giving these developers very much currency, but according to a report by Business Week, Microsoft is putting up free tools, phones and revenue to the developers. All the stuff the company offers will help to ensure its Windows Marketplace for Mobile is populated when Windows Phone 7 is launched in the fall. Some who are anxious about whether Microsoft can afford all the things may regard it as a hopeless struggle. But honestly, I am happy to see this, because it means Microsoft is really serious about making its next smartphone operating system to be successful.

Mobile apps are definitely not a passing fad, and at least to me, apps are the future of computing. Certainly, HTML5 and the mobile web help the tense situation but it still will take a long time to reduce some need for dedicated apps. The iPhone is obviously in the leading position with more than 200,000 programs in the App Store and Google is following up with almost 100,000 programs in the Android Market. It would be a tough work for Microsoft to keep up with them and the company really needs to take some efforts to stimulate app developer interest in Windows Phone 7.

So what is going to happen next? We will keep a close eye to what Microsoft Windows Phone 7 devices will bring us in the future.

Microsoft recently has released the developer tools which enable more creators to make apps that meet the need of theirs. Obviously, the company is searching for a big move on the launching of the forthcoming Microsoft Windows Phone 7 smartphone platform.

It is said widely that this build of the Windows Phone 7 developer tools is still in beta trial but according to sources close to the home office it’s a near-final version which means that next version of Microsoft’s mobile operating system could hit that “late summer” with some  indications of other platforms. But in my own eyes, I prefer to believe that it will come out a little bit later in Oct., because it will give the developers a comparative more time to perfect the Windows Phone 7 apps.

The company wanted to make a point of that the developer tool beta gives the users possibilities to unlock the device for developing, even the release notes of the developer tool beta have covered all the up-to-the-minute additions. And the Windows Phone 7 API is on the edge of accomplishing as well as the Silverlight functionality has been updated from preceding builds.  Though two teenage developers have already got Windows Phone 7 handsets, Microsoft still said that independent software sellers will get development smartphones in a snap.

Up to this time, we’ve already seen some outstanding Windows Phone 7 apps, so it will be fabulous to see what the community will give us some time later about these boosted development tools. Wait for the booming.

Microsoft responds on Google bans Windows PCs

Have you remembered that not too long ago, Google did not agree China to hack intos network causing a lot of China’s angers. As a result, the Google’ giant search engine is pulled out of the country of China completely.

Well, the cyber tomfoolery semems that China did not give enough freedom on Google, causing Google associated with a version of Microsoft’s flagship operating system to exploit a security Windows. It is certain that Google was going to prohibit their employees to use Windows computers, instead providing them with the option of using their own Apple’s OS X Chrome OS, or Linux. Of course, the employees can choose one of them by themselves.

Microsoft knew about the banning and came forth to respond on it. It wonders that whether it will make any effects on the users of running Linux or any other operating system. Because, Linux, Windows, Mac has the weaknesses for the users of those systems.

Various security exploits who has fallen victim to in the past has criticized Windows. However, was it right for Google to ban the operating system completely? Maybe they just wanted to make their network as secure as possible, but not taking a shot at Microsoft. There are mass chaos would surely ensue, if Google and all of its services were to be banned. I cannot image that.

Apple ends the Get a Mac advertisement

I can not image how it would be when Apple ends the Get a Mac advertisement. But it really did. Recently Apple finds any chances to focus spearhead to Microsoft Windows. Just because it is less popular as a famous campaign than before, in other words, their splendid life is to an end. Apple also takes action that it disposes the Get a Mac ad of its website. But the better way we think is guiding the users and finding the reason why they have so much interest in the Get a Mac which Apple did not take.

It is still no official announcement about what Apple’s next step. After searching the related information, we can judge despite of comparing with Microsoft Windows, Apple are more willing to pay attention to the features which their products can bring great funny so that your life is more colorful.

We may feel a little regretful about this news because the Get a Mac ad is more or less help us even though there is something dull.
