I cloud requires a computer running mac o. s. ten snow leopard version ten dot six dot nine or later. For contacts calendars and bookmarks. As of now though there is no ten dot six dot nine. I guess we're waiting for what. Well the full i club features that will require apples latest operating systems on both mobile th- and max. It'll likely be received is good news to people not interested in upgrading to lan it's thinking of the basic services like contacts calendars and bookmarks will still be available. Speaking of i cloud progress on that front keeps. Progressing apple insider's as the group or do you know company has sent a new version of i need to him to developers men protesting the upcoming i tunes of match feature for ike cloud. The p says this is the first bill that supports the skin and match feature introduced a w w do you see. That's the one that makes a users music collection available from apple's club servers for twenty five dollars a year. Rumors of apples a time to kill cable or once again making the rounds ours technic- er highlight the wallstreet journal report that says the cupertino company is working on new technology to deliver video to televisions. That word is of course compliments of undisclosed sources and is really similar to talk heard a lot this time last year that in apple working on a subscription service of some sort. All you can eat t. v. for x. dollars per month if memory serves ours points out to the journal talk is running side by side was rumors abide tunes replace. Another service that secret beeps say well let user stream there i hate to into video purchases to any device trying to their i tunes account. Maybe they're the same thing maybe they're not hack maybe they're both imaginary. Speaking of the maybe imaginary and the drug of the nation. Circuit nineteen ninety two election used to says talked of an apple branded television made the rounds again this weekend compliments of also but louis ventures co founders do we also have had very few details to offer. Just that it would likely run i o s and then it would likely come out next year. Election used is pieces actually build off of a venture b peace would seeks to support the t. v. talk with a couple of strides. First the fact that also either is a or was on the boards of so knows and tivo and second a bunch of other unsubstantiated talk about pull making a t. v.. I'm not saying it'll never happen i'm not even saying it won't happen next year but everybody talking about it doesn't mean it well c also apple stock dividend apple share by back i phone now no and so on. Interesting aside l g display is spending less money this year. You want to know why because people aren't buying t vis a separate elected needs to be says the display maker saying it'll got it's capital spending by exactly one quarter including not opening a new factory it had planned to open. Why smart phones and tablet they're cutting into demand for t. v. switch did i mention people aren't buying the way people thought people would. According to a lectern east ah l c d t b demand grew just six percent in the spring and may actually decline in the fall. Explanations for the drops outside of the mobile devices have buried but they have usually revolved around the combination of a very saturated market economic concerns reducing unnecessary expenses and a lack of enthusiasm for three d.. But oh ho- just wait until. Apple. Starts making. Yeah i'm not saying it'll never happen i'm not even saying it won't happen next year. But who's gonna make displays for them i. It's not just apple getting t. v. static kids ask your parents what t. v. static was and then test patterns and would you believe there used to be like a second of nothing between one commercial and the next. Ah the good old days. Seen that says google german eric schmidt has spent the past few days and great britain talking about a bunch of stuff. Including connected television the globe and mail has the google exact thing virtually all the television manufactures on there very high and will eventually adopt google t. v.. Or perhaps one of the competitors that well emerge we know this space exists the issue is getting that started getting the applications belt and so forth and that's taken quite a while. Schmidt expected that will occur within five years for google t. v. or perhaps one of the competitors that will emerge. And finally today last week i mentioned some weird taught from a window bo- exact about how it would win against apple in china. He sent chinese consumers would basically not be able to afford apple gear but they could afford the electronics coming out of his company never mind the fact that apple is already making more money in china them a no vote. And the the products window bo- has put out to go against apple products specifically. Don't review well selling crap and making less money that's how they plan to win i only bring it up because sarah rotten and apps it forced to research says that that is also how amazon we'll just rob the tablet space. Plea book filters touch pat has it's plugged pulled windows they tablets or about a year off come on man i got i have my something's gonna be the i've bad fixed. Yeah it'll it says the report is been in the works for months and she's kind enough to summarize it since the report itself cost four hundred ninety nine dollars. No i have not got a copy enough during the summer yeah i kinda don't want one. Quoting the summary amazon willingness to sell hardware at a loss combine with the strength of it's brand content cloud infrastructure and commerce assets makes it the only credible ipaq competitor in the market. If amazon launches a tablet and a sub three hundred dollar price point assuming it has enough supplied to meet the man we see amazon selling three to five million tablets in q. for alone. I gotta say this could certainly be the case so i'm reminded of report from a few weeks ago that said one of them is on failings and the tablet space. Would be the fact that they'll have someone else designing and building the tablets for them using the cheapest off the shelf components that they can source. They may be willing to lose money on the hardware they probably don't want to lose buckets of money on each tablets. Still she seems to think with amazon as a winner just by disrupting the tablet space. She says apple is vulnerable because of the bad amazon is willing to take on the hardware costs. Magically somehow amazon become such a good software company that other companies making enjoyed tablets well partner with them as on to leave their user interface and services over the and roy user interface that they're already using. And finally apps built specifically for and what tablets will explode because at long last there will be in and really tablet that's also exploding. The bottom line wraps the peace slash pitch a year from now amazon will be synonymous with andrew i don- tablets a strong second apples i ain't bad. If you haven't yet contemplated how apple amazon tablet domination will change your product strategy now is the time to plan and act. Gosh if only they were a port on which i could spend five hundred dollars to help me prepare.
