The iPad will not start without problems

The iPad: no problem, only solutions? Just days after its launch on the U.S. market, the iPad is a lot about him, and not that good. Fortunately, Apple seems to standby and ready to find a solution to most problems, while putting the tablet out of court.

The first concern noted by users was difficult to reload on the iPad: the latter, although connected to the computer, do not load. Apple has updated the page on its support , and advises them to load the beast through its USB Power Adapter 10W, or to connect to a USB 2.0 high power, as found on newer Macs.

For older PC and Mac, the manufacturer indicated that the iPad should be suspended for charging: in this case it seems impossible to load it and use it simultaneously.

The second problem concerns the Wi-Fi: Some users have indeed encountered weak reception signal their iPad or a loss of recognition of the network after rebooting the machine. For Apple, the problem is not the iPad, but some routers Wi-Fi dual-band capable of using the same name for several networks, or integrate several security modes on the same network.


The parade indicated by Apple to solve the problem is quite simple: as always support the brand , it is sufficient to separate the names of the networks, and ensure that they operate under the same security
settings. And  if these precautions are not sufficient, a quick reboot
of the connection parameters of the iPad seems entirely appropriate.

If Apple has found relatively convenient solutions to problems both for the third, this may be a bit more complicated: the iPad would have a tendency to overheat quickly during extended use in sun, or in his case black. Check the temperature of 35 ° C fateful, the tablet displays an error message, and goes to sleep until it cools.

A scenario which will undoubtedly common in the hot summer ... And hopefully Apple explains on its medium how to fix it.

Apple unveil iPhone OS 4.0 April 8

After the first weekend of the iPad marketing, Apple has sent an invitation Monday to the American press for an event dedicated to the fourth version of the operating system that equips its mobile devices. The presentation of this "iPhone OS 4.0" will take place Thursday, April 8, around 18 hours, Paris time.

If the invitation sent no doubt about the nature of the event in Cupertino, Apple has so far leaked any information on the new developments that could emerge in this update.

Among the ads possible, we of course think of introducing a comprehensive multitasking third party applications available through the App Store, without knowing whether it would be really possible to run simultaneously several software packages, or just a better system of notifications that partially compensates for his absence today.

Some also expect easy management of installed applications from the App Store, with the multiplication on the home screen sometimes discourages some users to get new ones installed. This famous home screen, the springboard, could also known its share of changes, why not with the possibility of moving the display from portrait to landscape on the iPhone and iPod Touch, as it is already possible to do with the iPad.

Some also assume that Apple could use the event to unveil to the press the fourth-generation iPhone, so as to prepare an official launch which occurs in early summer, one year after the arrival of the iPhone 3GS. Finally, we attribute to the Cupertino company's intention to reveal the contents of his ambitions for online advertising, with a monetization platform called iad .

Nokia joins tablet race

According to network sources, Nokia is already developing its own tablet. It should appear at the end of this year. Approximately fall.

It is expected that the platform of the new gadget will be the mobile operating system MeeGo. Her company is developing jointly with Nokia leading manufacturer Processors - by Intel. In addition, Intel will participate in the development of the gadget.

Note that the company Nokia is no stranger to the Tablet PC market. In 2005 came the Internet Tablet N770, N800, and then appeared N810. However, these gadgets are not full-fledged tablet in the modern sense, and in many ways inferior to competitors. In particular, the diagonal of the screen is substantially less than the iPad.

Ovi Maps free for Nokia E71 and E66

Nokia announced earlier this year that its software GPS guidance Ovi Maps became free , when he was previously charged up to 60 euros per year. Some smartphones from the manufacturer, not the least, were still denied  a compatible version.  If this gap was rapidly corrected to the Nokia N97 and its mini version, the Nokia E71 and E66, despite having met with great success to the professionals, were still missing the call.

They now meet from today. The users of these smartphones can now obtain the latest version of 'Ovi Maps "from the Ovi Store and use Ovi Suite software to load maps of countries of their choice on the memory card from phone to receive a GPS-guided offline. Optional functions like the Michelin Guide Lonely Planet or go by the wayside, however, "for technical reasons".
