According to ABC (ABC) reported that Air Force said an unmanned U.S. aircraft in the local space at around evening 7:52 launched from Florida, and this is the world's first unmanned spacecraft.
Alleged that Atlas 5 rocket carrying "X-37B test aircraft track" "(Orbital Test
Vehicle, called OTV) for space flight 22 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base, Florida, launch, and entered orbit. U.S. Air Force has said the successful launch, but declined to give specific details of the task.

The United States launched a new space plane can stay in space for 9 months
Reuters reported on April 22, for technical testing purposes, the U.S. military use of Atlas in the week 4 (Atlas) rocket will be called the "X-37B test aircraft track" (Orbital
Test Vehicle, called OTV) unmanned space plane launch, expected to stay in space can be up to 9 months.
The use of the Atlas rocket height equivalent to 20-story building, is by Lockheed Martin and Boeing United Launch Alliance joint established (United Launch
iance) and packing. Atlas rocket at 7:52 pm EDT launch, fly to satellite orbit.
Headquartered in Colorado Springs, Air Force Space Command will be responsible for monitoring this mission. The agency has announced the details of this mission content, including the prototype aircraft payload, experimental projects and completion of the orbital flight projects.
U.S. Air Force space program, Vice Undersecretary Payton (Gary
Payton) said, "X-37B Track Flight" project began in the late 90s of last century, when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for research and development, and then transferred to the U.S. military. The project focuses on testing the next generation space shuttle, built the world's only reusable spacecraft, trying to shorten the interval between each flight time and cost. Payton said: "Perhaps the most important show is on the ground, watching the space shuttle to return to the ground and prepare for the next flight." United States Aeronautics and Space Administration's space shuttle launch is usually needed before a launch, thousands of engineers and technical staff of three to four months lead time.
But "X-37B aircraft track" does not carry astronauts and passengers. The U.S. military hopes to use this space to test new aircraft in space and equipment, sensors and materials, focusing on the integration of all equipment and materials to the satellite and other systems. In addition, U.S. officials hope to shorten the interval for each space mission, will be reduced to a few days a few months previously.
"X-37B Track Flight" and similar shape and space orbiter, with a similar payload module can carry cargo and equipment. However, the new space shuttle is only 8.9 meters in length, wing length of 4.5 meters, while the space orbiter is 37 meters long, wing length of 23.8 meters.
United States Aeronautics and Space Administration's space shuttle launch day stay in space only about two weeks, while the "X-37B Orbital Space Plane," you can fly in space, 9 months, and then their landing on the runway. Payton said: "To be honest, we do not know the exact time for space shuttle landing. It depends on the orbit and orbital experiments demonstrate the process." This space shuttle expected to land in California's Vandenberg Air Force Base, and in Mojave Desert of Edwards Air Force Base will serve as alternative landing site.
This space shuttle in California by Boeing's "Phantom" (Phantom
Works) construction. If successfully completed this mission, the Air Force will launch again in 2011

Launch time: (U.S. Eastern Time at 7:52 p.m. on the 22 April), the United States developed the first overhead-day human X-37B aircraft successfully launched, "Atlas 5" rocket carried the launch. X-37B during the war, the ability of the enemy spacecraft, satellites and other military operations, including control, capture and destroy enemy spacecraft, military reconnaissance of the enemy and so on.
Take-off and landing: X-37B launch into Earth orbit and in space travel, the specific length of stay in space has not been established, X-37B is designed to perform a maximum period of 270 days in space missions. After the end of space travel, X-37B will enter autopilot mode return to Earth, the last Vandenberg Air Force Base in California or nearby reserve base - Edwards Air Force Base landing.
What is the X-37B space plane: X-37B space plane size, only about a quarter of the U.S. space shuttle serving, about
8.8 m, a wingspan of about 4.6 meters, take-off weight of more than 5 tons. Experts say, X-37B space plane in 1982, "Columbia" space shuttle explosion space after the launch of the most anticipated one, developed in the past 20 years, the U.S. government has invested hundreds of millions of dollars. Although the X-37B is only a small spacecraft, but it is one of the top U.S. military secrets, etc.. In addition to the spacecraft's operating performance, defects and other details are strictly confidential, the control center's position was classified as high-level military secrets.
U.S. unmanned space planes first flight within two hours of attacks on the world
According to Hong Kong "Ta Kung Pao," Dow Jones reported that the movie "Star Wars", the fighters in the battle scenes in space may soon be realized! Air Force 1 was classified as top secret X-37B unmanned space planes, on the 22nd will be the first time in Florida flight took off. Skepticism from the outside, X-37B is not simply a reusable space planes, but after the United States willing to reduce nuclear weapons secret weapon, it can attack the Earth within two hours any target space fighter, more dangerous than nuclear bombs.
R & D for more than ten years of the X-37B, was developed by the military. U.S. media said the data released, X-37B is about 8.2 m, a wingspan of 4.6 meters, size is about space shuttle 1 / 4. Judging from the shape design, with the United States more like a traditional space shuttle, but it uses a pair of vertical tail design, which has a number of active duty with the United States similar to heavy fighter, so it is likely to be the world's first flight space fighter.
Moreover, as X-37B will enter orbit out of solar panels, so you can fly in Earth orbit up to 270 days in the future may carry small satellites into Earth orbit, back to earth after the implementation of the military mission
X-37B is scheduled to U.S. time on the 22nd in Cape Canaveral Space Center, Florida, from "Atlas V" carrier rocket was launched, is expected to complete its mission, to glide own way back to the ground. X-37B unworthy of the astronauts can complete a variety of independent space exploration missions. Air Force refused to disclose X-37B first flight will do what.
Can fly 270 days
The outside world has little knowledge of the X-37B, except that NASA and Boeing in 1999 as a research and development than the space shuttle a low cost, reusable space planes, but plans in 2004 but shelved because of financial problems, change by the U.S. Air Force took over, and since become top-secret military projects.
Blair said, X-37B a maximum speed of 25 times the speed of sound, but also carry solar panels, to perform a maximum period of 270 days in space missions. She told SPACE.com, said that the design of space planes for around 203-926 km above the ground and low earth orbit.
Space fighter can cruise in space, but also into the atmosphere on an attack mission, once developed, will enable the United States into a "2 hours and the global fight against Circle", you can destroy enemy satellites in a single operation and the incoming missile, carried out in the theater over the reconnaissance, greatly increased the ability of the U.S. deterrent.
Radar difficult to capture
The wonders of space flight lies in its power plant. Simple analogy, the space plane is to our original combination of rockets and aircraft, and the performance of these two traditional weapons together, so it's combat effectiveness will be doubly amplified. This is a "space fighter" in the prototype.
Yong-Chun Liang Chinese military observers believe that the future of military space planes can afford the major tasks in the area There are several aspects: First, investigation, first air strikes that lay anti-satellite, anti-missile of this type of space combat. Because it is flying too fast, not to mention other countries to intercept it, is to see are not clear, it should be able to fly the fastest for more than 25 times the speed of sound, it can out of gravity of this bondage, to fly outside the atmosphere, Earth orbits. So fast, then the existing radar technology, it is very difficult to capture it.

Space network, according to reports, on April 21, "Atlas" rocket will launch in the United States, Florida, responsible for reusable X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle into space. On this day the aircraft overhead the details, in this confidential until now, has finally declassified some of the details.
X-37B space plane is actually a small space shuttle launch into Earth orbit and in space travel, the specific length of stay in space yet to be determined. After the end of space travel, X-37B will enter autopilot mode return to Earth, the last Vandenberg Air Force Base in California or nearby reserve base - Edwards Air Force Base landing.
"Respect the wishes of our customers"
For the X-37B space plane, the public knew little about. X-37B project confidentiality is in place, as the building's Boeing "Phantom" has remained silent on the flight, the Air Force Office of rapid capacity is tight-lipped. "Phantom" to find out news reporters that they "respect the wishes of our customers."
In the last week of the 26th National Space Symposium, the U.S. Air Force spokeswoman Angie. Blair revealed the X-37B space plane in some detail. The spokeswoman said the X-37B will support a series of experiments. She said: "The first task will be emphasis on long-term stay in the verification space and reusable spacecraft for the necessary technology to achieve the independent return and landing capability. This is an ongoing development project, a lot of research and development efforts with the Department of Defense, as the test vehicle that tracks the performance limitations and shortcomings among the details in strict confidence. "
Blair said that if everything goes according to plan after launch, X-37B is designed to perform a maximum period of 270 days in space missions. She told SPACE.com, said that the space plane designed from the ground for around 110 to 500 sea miles (about 203 to 926
Km) of low Earth orbit.
NASA conducted a test flight, Scaled Composite company to create a "white knight" X-37 transport aircraft carrying into space.
Did not want to know the cost of the door!
In addition to performance, defects such as the details of the strict confidentiality outside, X-37B Mission Control Center is a highly confidential the specific location. Blair explained that the mission control center when the end of the mission depends on the performance of a successful show for verification, after which, the control center will be a headquarters operation. She said: "We may be said that, X-37B will be the contractor in accordance with the Air Force Space Command, the 3rd Squadron of the instructions of space controlled experiment."
According to information provided by the Air Force website, the third space experiment is the Air Force Space Command Squadron is an important sector, responsible for demonstration conducted in space to explore and experiment and so on. In addition, the department also established with the hiring, training, education and specialized skills of the idea for the Air Force Space Command to prepare for future missions.
Currently, this squadron is to create a space in the field by the core team of professionals. They will participate in the Air Force Space Command, as an expert for all future space efforts, verify the operational performance of selected equipment, will explore the process of validation and lessons for the future R & D projects. Blair, referring to X-37B project cost, said the project made use of the Air Force, NASA and Boeing in the early to invest heavily. "Air Force budget request for secrecy, the level of funding to reveal the particulars."
Jun Fang Suxi mystery play
For such a space plane, we have to ask X-37B's maiden voyage what does that mean? The project has hidden behind it? Military space experts, Orlando in Florida State University political science professor and Head of Roger. Handeboge said, X-37B project a high degree of confidentiality may include the following three reasons. Seems to be the X-37B Air Force and NASA the 90's reusable spacecraft project "residual." The project may still be able to show that the U.S. Air Force rapid-response spacecraft full of interest. For a long time, it was suggested that development of the space motor vehicle, start the X-37B Air Force project is clearly the best choice.
Handeboge said: "The second explanation is: secret military project is a customary practice. That is why reason and cost estimates become so Pushuo mystery. Once started, difficult to stop the project, particularly supporters advertised in the exceptional performance of spacecraft and aircraft in operation with the similar circumstances. "
The third reason is: aerospace aircraft and unmanned aircraft is a logical "extension." UAV's primary mission is reconnaissance, but now they have been carrying weapons and perform other tasks, including many secret missions. Handeboge that both aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles and space for the U.S. military has a truly global deployment capability.
U.S. Air Force's X-37B space plane prototype called "orbital test vehicle 1", will be staged in April 2010 on her maiden voyage.
For the X-37B of the test, other countries may hold what attitude? Handeboge said: "From the perspective of international observers said, especially in China and other active stand in the field of state space point of view, X-37B project to further strengthen their recognition that the United States in a bid to get quick response first-mover advantage, including the use of such aircraft, or a derivative to achieve the possible weaponization of space. "
He pointed out that such a rapid reaction capability has allowed the U.S. to a certain extent, to threaten other countries, full of peace from the color become a direct attack on his country reconnaissance spacecraft.
Promising commercial applications
Highly secure X-37B project mystery flavor, with the maiden voyage of the debut, some mysteries will eventually reveal. There is no doubt, X-37B's flight test will demonstrate the range of possible applications to the business of technology. Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) for Space Systems vice president of Mark. Silanggeluo said: "We think this test is the space of a progress in the field of aircraft development, will help verify a lot of things we discussed for many years . "
Currently, SNC company is developing a winged spacecraft, "The Commitments" (Dream
Chaser), and the crew of NASA's commercial development projects (hereinafter referred to CCDev) to compete. Silanggeluo explained: "We believe that space can be in the commercial and government aircraft fleet in a place. They not only can be used for the international space station and cargo transport, but can also feasible for other tasks, such as the deployment of satellite and other recent space missions. "
According to SNC's program, "Dream" will take the "Atlas" rocket launchers. United Launch Alliance is involved in NASA's CCDev project. Silanggeluo in told SPACE.com, said: "We believe that the X-37B launch also helps us understand the 'Atlas' ability to rocket carrying the spacecraft. X-37 appears to be mainly used for military purposes, no one undertaken by the demonstration, contrast, focus more on civil and commercial purposes. "

Apple iPad first mainland User Comments: excellent screen smoothly speed (Photos)
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009Apple iPad first mainland User Comments: excellent screen smoothly speed (Photos)
From January 28, 2010 officially released to the March 12, 2010 scheduled to begin, to April 2010 3
Officially for sale, it had received widespread attention from around the world, even before its release, the news about it on without interruption, the earliest dating back to almost the end of 2002. On dozens of versions of its name as many fans for its numerous modeling ideas. It is the Apple iPad.
How, in addition to
iPhone, there Which products have had such charm, in addition to Apple, there will be a result of which manufacturers were concerned about such a product, in addition to Jobs, who will be able to because of their own products and seven on board Time magazine's cover.
After long anticipation, the Apple iPad finally become a reality from the dream, to experience the first time this product, we not only keep the evening on March 12 in front of the computer booking a multiple iPad, also on April 3 correspondent to the United States from the sale of the Fifth Avenue Apple store line up to buy.
Tencent digital purchase more than iPad for evaluation
In the iPad before sale and related commentaries are also numerous, and some promote the good image iPad, while others sing the blues iPad, no matter how our argument, iPad has deserved to become a current concern of digital products, note that no one is unique.
Promote the good image iPad critics rarely comment from the appearance of more praise iPad success has nothing to do with the hardware, primarily under the support of the application opens up a new experience model, even Lenovo Consumer Business Unit, vice president and general Manager Liu Jie, referring to Apple
iPad time can not help that, iPad success is on the vertical integration of hardware and software integration of Internet content, which in the past of these bigwigs, referring to competitors often will say, we are not business friendly product evaluation.
Badmouth iPad comments will be starting from the appearance of criticizing the appearance of a lack of innovative iPad is the large size of the iTouch, then plunge into the design of iPad does not support Flash, no USB interface, high prices in areas such as critical, Microsoft's Bill cover Heights On iPad said, iPad is a reader only, and as a pioneer of this epoch-making product line, ASUS Vice President of Systems Business Group, Eric
Chen also said that iPad is not omnipotent, but the "big screen version of the iPhone" only.
Promote the good image worth mentioning, bad-mouth worth mentioning, I believe that all the products for Apple, there is no real experience of the users had no say. Then such a "mixed" product, how it let Tencent digital take you to experience it together.
Appearance Appreciation: Anyone can imitate simple to, but can not be easily surpass
In the iPad, we are talking about Tablet PC with a traditional keyboard TabletPC, who are able to use as an ordinary notebook, when necessary, you can rotate transform into flat, while the iPad the bold design of the keyboard removed.
Jobs is not clear the importance of the keyboard for the user, what he had dared to abolish the physical design of the keyboard is out of Apple's multi-touch technology, sensitivity of the trust, this move appears to be mad at others, but It is precisely because of this move, only to iPad may become an epoch-making change in the computer products market structure, we can imagine, iPad under an inverted if the standard or electronic reader like QWERT keyboard is how some nondescript circumstances.
iPad for the first time eliminated the physical keyboard design
iPhone is not the first touch screen phone, but there Which touch screen mobile phone users say their satisfaction in
iPhone on, iPad multi-touch technology from the
iPhone, for it had been tested by millions of users of technology, Steve Jobs is a very trusted, I get iPad are also holding before and after the same idea.
Apple iPad IPS with 9.7-inch multi-touch screen, looking ahead, in addition to a big screen just below a Home
Key, it is no longer a simple to design simple, anyone can imitate, but you want to go beyond is not an easy task.
iPad than ordinary A4 paper magazine to a small circle
iPad screen covered with glass, the back of the aluminum alloy material, the back of the streamline arc design, the design is exactly the same style and iPhone, iPad size
242.8mm x 189.7mm x13.4mm, the thickness of just more than iPhone
3GS a little thicker. However, because there is no phone function iPad, simple in appearance iPad is an enlarged version of the iPod touch
Very thin thickness of 13.4mm was
iPad back of the aluminum alloy material, the streamline arc design
We have to understand is that Apple's new product is first designed for the Apple fans, and is designed for the more users, iPhone 10 million worldwide users, iPad this design style is very easy to iPhone users with to intimacy and identity, while for non-Apple users, you need to accept it.
In fact, we have conducted a survey, as of press time, nearly 40 000 users were surveyed, although we can not determine how many of these users are Apple fans, but yet nearly 60% of the users that iPad most attractive person is that it is fashion design
iPad There are two versions, one is the WiFi version, the other was the WiFi +3 G version, we referred to as the 3G version, WiFi
Edition iPad weight is 680 grams, while the 3G version of the module increases as the weight of iPad 720 grams, regardless of which version of the iPad portability is very high, can be placed in any backpack or handbag, the exaggeration is to say, even packed in pocket, of course, your pocket and be large enough.
WiFi and 3G version version iPad
iPad is slightly different in appearance, WiFi Edition iPad back all covered aluminum alloy material, whole body into a bright silver, while the 3G version of iPad need to design 3G module, and allow users to change SIM
Card, so the back of upper body position is a black area, here is the SIM card holder, which is two versions of the iPad the most obvious difference. Here, let me talk, 3G version of iPad using
Micro
SIM card, China is now universal SIM and can not directly use, the domestic sale of 3G version if the iPad, the need for operator support on the SIM, of course, users can own DIY.
iPhone has a serious criticisms in the sense that the screen is exposed to fingerprints, the solution is first posted matte film, the second is usually the screen when not in use as far as possible down the display. iPad as adopted and
iPhone similar design, the same mode of operation using touch, and a larger screen, the unsatisfactory performance has also been inherited down the iPhone and iPad in terms of relative volume is much greater and can not lift up the bottom of the hand use, and require hand holding the side of the fuselage, so that after use, the screen will leave a lot of fingerprints, especially after the screen backlight turn off. Although the iPad fingerprint resistant screen used by the design of anti-oil coating, but still could not avoid trouble fingerprints.
Experience ease of use: multi-touch advantage of outstanding scalability is criticized
Apple iPad consistent with the simple design, positive in the bottom of the screen there is only one Home key, but do not worry portable operation, therefore iPad is a multi-touch, and the 9.7-inch screen, set the sensor points 1000 Therefore, very sensitive sensors.
Many first-time touch-screen computer, will feel less sensitive, resulting in lost interest on the touch screen computer, in fact, this is because the result of the different touch technology, iPhone users used to use other brands of touch in the phone and more Smooth Touch will feel that contempt, iPad follows
iPhone's touch technology, touch experience also can be integrated, if you use the touch of other computers, iPad will give you a new experience, if you have not used other touch computer, iPad is certainly deep deep attracted you, so you no longer want to touch with the other computer.
iPad design of the keys and the iPhone is similar, except the bottom of the Home screen
Key, a total of only four buttons around the fuselage. Located in the top left of the fuselage is the power switch, this would not have said, depends on the position at the right side of the fuselage is the screen rotation button and volume control button lock.
Only one Home button front
Body to the right of volume control keys and the screen lock button switch rotary
iPad with orientation sensor, the direction of rotation when the body can automatically rotate the screen, often this is a very useful function. IPad in the January 28 release, we have to live coverage of the United States, live our experience iPad, but still works on display were prototypes, screen rotation to provide the mute key lock function, after the release of the iPad, Apple also got the function keys were modified, is said to be taken into account when the user does not need the screen in certain auto-rotation, for example, read e-books in bed, when this key feature designed to lock the screen rather than the static spin sound more in line with customer needs.
Longitudinal use of the content can be displayed more
When rotating the screen without locking the screen automatically rotating body rotation
iPad expansion interface is very limited, apart from the fuselage beneath the base of the connector port, only the top of the power switch and body
3.5mm headphone jack up. iPad does not provide the most commonly used computer USB interface, and is not one, which many users can not imagine.
For the iPad, its main role is to enable users to enjoy through good experience to the Internet, iPad 80% of the time users are enjoying the Internet or iPad in existing content, 20% of the time would be to create the content, When you need to create content, they can use an external physical keyboard (Apple keyboard base official iPad be 69 U.S. dollars), Bluetooth mouse (iPad built-in Bluetooth module), can also dock connector port to connect the USB adapter.
Body at the bottom of the base is the main interface port
Of course, in addition to other Bluetooth, iPad almost all of the extensions are connected through the dock port to achieve, including the USB data transfer, VGA video output, charge, etc., if the number of operations to the same time, only a base connector port is not good enough, for trying to use iPad as computer users, the interface design can not be considered a limited Mishap in the.
Like previous Apple product, iPad is a highly integrated, while many people will iPad as a computer class, but
iPad are like as not to iPhone users may upgrade or replacement parts. First upgrade was not taken into account, iPad A4 using Apple processor, clocked at 1GHz, memory capacity has
16G, 32G and 64G are three options for users, which are unable to upgrade.
Batteries, iPad battery is unauthorized users can not be replaced, but is commendable that the iPad the battery life is far stronger than the iPhone, video playback up to 10-12 hours, then stand up to a month-long . If the battery is damaged, you can also replace the machine's approach to replace the battery, Apple is providing such services for the iPad, of course, users pay 99 U.S. dollars in service fees and
6.95 U.S. dollars of freight, and had to wait a week, but users also need to back up the iPad inside their own data. Of course, if taking into account the Huafei more than 100 U.S. dollars can be used for a new iPad, I believe many people will feel this policy is very good. United States, many users had complained when Apple launched iPhone battery replacement program does not provide fees and services, the Apple iPad than providing such services but also to avoid further trouble, and for users, this is a good shopping experience.
Comfort experience: IPS display superior results, the virtual keyboard has some drawbacks
iPad is equipped with a 9.7-inch LED backlit display IPS, IPS screen of the biggest advantages is the viewing angle, iPad screen and horizontal viewing angles and vertical viewing angle can reach 178 degrees, making the iPad the screen is not up and down points, regardless of is horizontal or vertical look to see, or from other point of view can be shown to achieve good results.
IPS screen, viewing angle is very large
iPad reflective screen is very serious
iPad
Also built of light sensor can automatically according to ambient light to adjust the brightness of the screen backlight brightness, one can effectively protect the vision, improve comfort, especially when e-books with iPad see the most obvious effect, also can to some extent to conserve electricity.
As regards e-books, we may wish to iPad, and a comparison of the Amazon Kindle. The biggest shortcoming is the Kindle only supports black and white display, and the screen is not backlit, iPad in the display is undoubtedly superior to many, it was also generated Kindle books available is the closest to real reading results, iPad reading results were not as Kindle. In this respect I do not comment on them, who better to know about their own use. iPad faster, bigger screen, the screen effect is more outstanding, to read at night without lights lighting, turning the pages when reading the paper overturning effects are real, more importantly, iPad more than just a reader.
iPad flip effect when reading
If less, I am afraid that is provided by the iBook Kindle e-book and a great number of gaps, but Apple and will not stand still, Apple is planning to Project Gutenberg, so iPad on
iBook
Store will be at least more than 30,000 free books for download, in addition, users can pay to read some newspapers and magazines. It is worth mentioning that Amazon has developed a Kindle
for
iPad software, making iPad Kindle users can also download e-book reading, a lot of people think that Apple will not pass the audit software, contractors who want Apple software, today has placed on the
App
Store shelves, very self-confident users to download with iPad Kindle e-book reading, so we have the opportunity to compare the two devices who is more suitable for reading.
iPad and Kindle comparison
iPad and iPhone uses the same multi-touch technology, touch experience is outstanding, many operators simply do not need an external mouse to complete, and for the old iPhone users, use the iPhone
3.5-inch touch screen can be completed a lot of action, such as copy, paste, file downloads, send and receive e-mail, web browsing, etc., use iPad
9.7-inch touch screen will be even more its capability.
iPad built-in virtual keyboard, at any time of need can very easily bring up the virtual keyboard when used horizontally when the iPad, the virtual keyboard keys are very large, although the virtual keyboard without key-way, a certain lack of feeling, but input is very convenient. However, when used in the iPad vertical, virtual keyboard, the keys will become very small, very inconvenient to use.
I first read the iPad the screen size is a very strange feeling, now popular wide screen, iPad how such a trendy product has been rarely used by a 4:3 screen resolution is 1024x768, only after understanding the use, Apple use the length and width small screen to the horizontal when the virtual keyboard to use iPad Bu Zhiyu taking up too much screen space.
Screen in a horizontal state, the virtual keyboard keys large, easy to use
Screen in a vertical state, the virtual keyboard keys small, inconvenient to use
Of course, iPad is not the iPhone, as the iPhone can not use, iPad Although the use and the same is the iPhone OS iPhone
3.x system, but iPad is a Tablet PC is a range in between the iPhone and MacBook equipment, iPad users access to existing content in addition to, at some point also need to create some of their content, iPad design the virtual keyboard is also available Keyboard
Dock as an attachment, but users need to spend 69 dollars to buy, so that when necessary, you can use an external physical keyboard, but do not have to be limited to the virtual keyboard.
Actual experience: does not support Flash has caused great inconvenience to the application
iPad with Apple A4 processor speeds up to 1GHz, which is a high-energy low-power processor, of course, is energy and other
ARM architecture processors, not the x86 architecture and Intel processors, low power aspects of the ARM processor architecture has inherent advantages, which is iPad battery life can be achieved
The key reason for 10-12 hours. iPhone 3GS with the processor is Cortex A8, clocked at 600MHz, both the same, iPhone OS
3.x system, iPhone's many applications are available on the iPad used directly, so a comparison iPad iPhone's multi-faster.
The new iPad purchased can not be directly used to activate through iTunes, and must use the latest ITunes
9.1, old versions of iTunes are not recognized iPad's.
Interface and the iPhone after boot iPad is similar, sub-bottom of the screen the main screen, and two critical applications, as
iPad does not support the call, so critical applications bottom of the screen instead of using Photos Phone, four key applications are Safari (browse the web use), Mail (send and receive mail using), Photos (see photo used) and iPod (listening Music used), which is a few main features iPad. The main screen provides a number of applications, including calendar, contacts, memos, maps, video, YouTube, iTunes, App
Store, iBooks, iWork, etc., you add more applications, the more the number of the main screen, up to 11 main screen with a finger swipe can switch the main screen, operate the same way, and iPhone. You can iPad directly on the management of the main screen, you can manage the computer business iTunes and then sync to the main screen on the iPad.
The main application screen
Map display
iBooks are iPad most highlights an application can directly access through the iBooks iBook Store, iBook
Store in bookshelves in the form of presentation, choose one of the one can directly read, when the body is in horizontal state when the screen can display the contents of two pages. In his studies, iPad can built-in light sensor to automatically adjust screen brightness, you can own to fix the screen brightness manually. Is precisely because the iPad comes with iBooks, many regard the iPad and Amazon
Kindle comparison, although the iBook
Store the current number of books is still relatively limited, but this is only a matter of time, I still believe Apple's appeal in the industry and resource integration capability.
iBook Store shelf-like effect of rendering
iWork includes Keynote, Pages, Numbers 3 application functionality is similar to Microsoft PowerPoint, Word and
Excel, thanks to the good iPad multi-touch experience, without using an external keyboard and mouse of the case, can also be used by the three iWork applications to create the effect of a very good document. Microsoft now appears to be no development for the iPad Office application program, so for the iPad the users, and Windows users in the document's compatibility is a big problem.
iPad Although very powerful, does not support Adobe's Flash technology, Steve Jobs, said in explaining the problem
Adobe, too lazy, no amendment to Flash as soon as possible loopholes, the system will affect the stability and security, such as Flash technology's battery life on the iPad have a great impact, does not support Flash technology, battery cases iPad 10 hours, while the support Flash technology can be used after the iPad battery only 2 hours, after assessment of the apple was removed iPad
Flash support. General industry view is that Apple against the Internet's most popular Flash technology is unwise, Adobe's CEO Shantanu? Na Leien said, iPad does not support Adobe Flash is not because too lazy, and all because of Apple wrong. Tanu? Na Leien said, Adobe has been very transparent, and has been committed to the Flash used in a variety of platforms, iPad does not support Flash technology has nothing to do with technology.
Not display Flash content
Although both saliva constantly, iPad until the sale has not officially support Flash, so no way for us to use
iPad normal browsing websites using Flash technology has, for example, have always been famous video site. Recent news that some well-known sites as the United States iPad does not support Flash, Flash content has been fully abandoned in favor of using HTML5, CSS3 and
JavaScript standards to provide multimedia content, these websites, including CNN, Reuters, The New York Times, Time magazine and, of course, including some sites have been using HTML5 standards, are not specifically optimized for the iPad. Jobs is boldly against the Flash, is that HTML5 will replace the one hand, Flash is a trend, the other is the appeal of Apple in the industry are very confident, but the advertising users, we must eat a lot to beat.
iPad dedicated App
Store in the sale before the on-line, in addition to a large number of iPhone programs can run directly on the iPad, the developers also iPad developed specific applications. iPhone's program
iPad when running on two display, a size that is in accordance with the original resolution of 320x480 display, the other is full-screen resolution is 1024x768 display, because
iPad screen resolution larger than the iPhone's many, iPhone application in the iPad on the full screen display when the results were not good, but iPad proprietary process in the resolution of the special aspects of the setting, iPad of application name is usually the end of HD is also for this reason.
While Apple iPad sale, Tencent QQ HD for
iPad also released from the initial trial of view, very beautiful interface, at the same time the owner has a more intuitive and user-friendly operation interface, and the QQ
HD is a free application. Think about such a large screen in the chat, you can even chat in bed is a matter how pleasant.

And, like iPhone, iPad does not support third-party programs to run multi-tasking, which is iPhone OS
A lack of 3.x, iPad before publishing the industry rumored iPad may be pre-installed iPhone OS supports multi-task
4.0, but the fact that extremely disappointing to see the situation iPhone OS 4.0 have to wait a long time.
iPad only supports Apple's official application layer multi-task programs running, iPhone on order to achieve true multi-task, need to jailbreak and install third-party program to achieve, but Apple apparently does not support this behavior is true for the iPad.
Written in the last: iPad is not perfect, but it remains a landmark product
No, like a product can iPad sharply different views of everyone into two factions, Apple fans have spared no effort to defend against iPad iPad, constantly promote iPad creative features and excellent user experience, and people criticized iPad iPad is the appearance of lack of creativity has repeatedly said, low cost, the actual function of weak, poor scalability, this is a very interesting phenomenon, in fact, many of Apple's products are highly controversial, because Apple itself is very closed Apple products are also provided for the minority, and only a small number of people using Apple's Mac, iPod, iPhone and other products, but Apple has a very high user loyalty that other brands can not match any , so the attack iPad manufacturers may wish to consider this because e is located.
iPad hardware itself is not surprising, 1HGz the ARM architecture processor performance is very ordinary, but the vast majority of x86 processors can not be compared, iPad provides 10 hours of battery life is a lot of notebooks have been realized, iPad up with storage only 64GB, iPad minimum distribution also need 499 U.S. dollars, equivalent to RMB
More than 3,000 dollars to spend this price can buy a good performance, functions, support for Flash also has lots of USB interface, the notebook, but some people in the eyes of this "useless" and
iPad but is so welcomed by the users, sought after by the industry.
After the number of people in the iPad talking about Tablet PCs, the iPad or after the introduction of multi-vendor plans to launch Tablet PC, see the Apple iPad fully understand the influence of the.
The success can be iPad entirely by hardware, but by a kind of thinking, Jobs has not used the computer to do the thinking
iPad, there is no physical keyboard design, no design USB interface, do not use Mac
OS system, but the iPad positioned between the iPhone and MacBook, by a large number of applications to support This achievement hardware commonplace, but function is very powerful iPad, of course, there is a very important point behind is the iPad with user Experience excellent multi-touch technology.
In short, a good user experience more in touch with the technical support, applications rely on mass support, the various elements of the Internet was effectively integrated, allowing users to enjoy the simple comfort of the contents of the Internet, and needs when it comes to conduct their own creation, which is understood by the author
iPad essence.
iPad there are many deficiencies, I do not deny these deficiencies, iPad is not perfect, but no doubt that Apple iPad is a cross-age products.

Apple closed
Apple computer system known as the world's most secure system, which in addition to its number of users due to the use of relatively small, few hackers would go to attack a relationship, that it is relatively closed. Apple's latest release of Apple's becoming more and more closed ipad is a living example, ipad in the online video player on actually does not support Flash.
Apple ipad right not to support Flash
Adobe website via Gizmodo official statement issued, "it seems, in the iPad, Apple still had all kinds of artificial restrictions, such restrictions will obviously dissatisfied users and content providers.

Format text in other companies simply can not e-reader correctly.

"Then, Adobe also announced to give up on Apple's support Flash, Adobe on Apple's approach seems very unhappy.
Apple's way is to their own development from hardware to software as a comprehensive provider, to make their own standards to affect the world, and thus profit from. Apple's own operating system can only be applied to Apple hardware, but Apple's hardware can only run Apple's own development platform will get the best experience. Moreover, Apple has been very successful. Apple's system, many people are attracted by its beautiful interface, however, to use, you have to buy Apple computer. Although Apple was successful the system will run to the ordinary PC, but, in contrast to Apple's computer use, there are still many imperfections, the most common computer Qudong is difficult to match.

It also determines the users of Apple and its relationship with other companies a little bit different. In other companies, the user is the first, the production of any product to the needs of users in mind. Apple, on the contrary, are themselves mainly through their own products to changing consumer habits, the relationship between users and the strong performance of more. Apple is in the field as the role of leader, and many of the other manufacturers follow Apple's footsteps is often to take a share from points. In the world, able to attract many of the manufacturers to offer their products for the peripheral parts, it was only apples.

Into the Apple world, as if to enter into another world, Apple has its own kingdom. However, success will not be closed. Apple contrast, Google is becoming more open, and open the road, also received a great achievement. Google's android platform is proof.
Google and Apple's way different
Google released an android is the open source operating platform, released after the market quickly gained recognition in the version 2.1 update to the present, while products with more and more android from cell phones, MP4 to plate PC all-inclusive. Not only is the android, Google's cloud platform, chrome equally strong concern by the people.
Google opening up the road
The development of society in the future, whether it is Apple's "strong closed" or Google's "frank" will achieve victory? This is still unknown. But be sure, they are very innovative and their products are unique, innovative Apple is closed under, Google is opening up under the innovation, they are beyond the innovative spirit of the world achieved under great success. Innovation to create wealth.
