			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is so little chance that you haven&#8217;t heard of the Apple Event that took place a couple of hours ago. But just in case here is a sum up of the event (in headlines):</p>
<ul>
<li>Steve Jobs showed up saying <em>they want to kick off 2010 by introducing a truly  magical and revolutionary new product</em>.</li>
<li>There was a little talk about the success of the iPod and the iPhone over the last years with some historical and data reference. Plus, saying that <strong><em>Apple is a mobile devices company, that’s what we  do</em></strong>.</li>
<li>After wondering if there is room for a third category device in  the middle of a laptop and/or a smartphone, Steve just said <em>iPad</em>.</li>
<li>From that time and on it was all about applauding and embracing this new magical thing called the iPad.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p>We&#8217;ve always tried to be at the intersection of technology and liberal  arts &#8212; we want to make the best tech, but have them be intuitive. It&#8217;s  the combination of these two things that have let us make the iPad.</p></blockquote>
<p>iPad&#8217;s main features inlcude:</p>
<ul>
<li>9.7-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display  with IPS technology</li>
<li>1GHz Apple A4 custom-designed, high-performance, low-power  system-on-a-chip</li>
<li>Wi-Fi + 3G model</li>
<li>3.5-mm stereo headphone jack</li>
<li>Built-in speakers</li>
<li>Microphone</li>
</ul>
<p>You may find out more about the iPad <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipad/" target="_blank">here</a>. However, as you may have noticed, there a few missing features.</p>
<p>If you ask me, I was getting ready to catch up with the event along with <a href="http://live.gdgt.com/2010/01/27/live-apple-come-see-our-latest-creation-tablet-event-coverage/" target="_blank">gdgt&#8217;s</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/live-from-the-apple-tablet-latest-creation-event/" target="_blank">engadget&#8217;s</a> live coverage. I was ready to listen to whatever Steve was ready to say. I mean, we were all ready for the best tablet pc ever, right? Well, the first impression of the iPad was like &#8220;hmmm.. it&#8217;s not bad&#8221;. Not that I don&#8217;t think this is an exceptional mobile device. Maybe I was overwhelmed by all the buzz going on about the Apple Tablet. I was waiting for something truly innovative and outstanding.</p>
<p>The User Interface was awesome, as usual in all Apple products. Could be better though. The whole idea of downloading the same apps you download for your iPhone was a bit surprising and also a good way to endorse the power of the iPhone App Store. Everything else seemed to be quite elegant.</p>
<p>Anyhow, Apple&#8217;s iPad has definitely killed the netbook  market and we are about to witness, as I have said before, a change in personal computing in the years to come shifting the Personal Computer (P.C.) towards the mobile devices.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget to check out <a href="http://rt.nytlabs.com/" target="_blank">this</a> real-time look at twitter mentions of terms related to Apple&#8217;s product launch earlier today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got my <a href="http://www.measy.com/" target="_blank">Measy</a> account a couple of days ago and I have to say it is pretty much useful. Measy is an online service that helps you find the perfect gadget the fun way! For the time being Measy can search for Digital Cameras, DSLRs, HDTVs and Netbooks. Other than that, you can find your gadget <em>by exploring</em> or <em>by taking a quiz</em>.</p>
<p>The <strong><em>by exploring</em></strong> way at first reminds you of an all-time-classic online shop with the huge lists and the never-ending pages, but if you look closer you will see a few other views, that will surprise you a bit, that you can switch to anytime. Apart from the classic <em>line-by-line </em>view, there is the <em>side-by-side</em> view, where you will be able to see fewer items per page side-by-side but able to compare more specific details of each group of products per page. I bet you will be amazed by the amount and the clarification of the specific details you can see there. There is also the <em>detailed</em> view where you can see a product per page with full product details.</p>
<p>The<strong> <em>by taking a quiz</em></strong> way is much more fun way to find exactly what you are looking for. Starting with a scroll bar that you can move left or right depending on the amount of money your budget equals to and moving on to answer a few other highly clarifying questions about your product search (like <em>How important is size?</em> and <em>How important is customer service and warranty?</em>) you will definitely come up with a product that matches perfectly to what you have been looking for.</p>
<p>There are also a few other things that make Measy different from other online shops. Exploring by yourself is the best way to find them!</p>
<p>Measy is still in private beta and invitation only but you can sign up for an invitation <a href="http://www.measy.com/sign_up" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
