Question by Sinister: Do you think it will be possible to install a different OS on the ipad?
i hate the ipad. Its so pointless in every why due to horrible OS limitations and pathetic hardware inputs. But i think the OS is the worse part. I was wondering, do you think it would be possible to install linux or even (OMGAZ) windows on the ipad? Possible? Not?
Thankd
Best answer:
Answer by Kornfan71 Doubtful. It will probably be like an iPhone/iPod Touch. Some teenager might “jailbreak” it at some point, but the possibility of loading an alternate OS seems unlikely.

Would Android Tablets bombard the enterprise space?
Android is an open source mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel. Various Smartphones based on the platform is already available in the market like HTC G1, HTC Droid Eris, Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy, GW620 Eve, etc. However, the Android platform still has a long way to cover in the tablet segment. Meanwhile, various PC vendors like Dell, Archos, and IDC are preparing to launch their tablet PCs based on the operating system.
Like Smartphones, tablet PCs feature touchscreen that requires digital pen or a fingertip, instead of a keyboard or mouse. Apple is reported working on its tablet PC, which will be expected to hit the market in second half of 2010. Similarly, various other PC vendors like ASUS, Samsung are planning to introduce their tablet PCs by the next year.
Therefore, consumers can soon expect a handful of Android-based tablets from all major PC vendors, which will boast bigger screens, avoiding bulky QWERTY keyboard with touchscreen navigation.
Recently, Gartner predicted that by 2012, Android would become the world’s second most popular Smartphone platform after Nokia’s Symbian OS. This indicates that the platform is going to be a big hit in the market. But, the question is can Android tablets find a market?
Various Android-based tablets
Dell’s Android based tablet: It is reported that the world’s number three PC maker will launch an Android-based tablet device and expected to introduce in CES 2010. The device will have a 5-inch screen besides all the required features.
Fusion Garage’s JooJoo: The new device features a 12.1” widescreen multi-touch capacitive display with 1366×768 pixel resolution and fingerprint-resistant coating. It also supports Wi-Fi 802.11(b/g), Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR wireless technology for internet connectivity. The tablet PC boasts 4GB SSD, Accelerometer, Ambient Light Sensor, 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack and weighs just 1.1 kg.
Archos 5 Internet tablet: The new tablet PC features 5-inch high-resolution touchscreen display, 3D GPS navigation and a choice of upto 250 GB of internal memory. However, the 8GB model costs at 9.99. It can play 720p video including WMV and H.264, over HDMI and supports 802.11n Wi-Fi, 3G and GPS connectivity.
ICD Ultra tablet PC: Recently, ICD has introduced a new tablet PC base on Android 2.0 Éclair, called Ultra. The new device features 7″ Touchscreen, 1.3 MP Web Cam, Accelerometer, Ambient light sensor and Dual digital microphones. It is powered by NVIDIA Tegra, 512 DDR / 512 NAND, and supports 4GB Internal SD. For connectivity, the device supports Bluetooth 2.1, Wireless 802.11 b/g, 2g/3g Data and USB 2.0.
Discussion
Various other companies like GiiNii, Camangi, NEC, Moto, etc are also working on the Android-based tablets. The new tablets can differ in sizes, which will resemble iPod touch or MIDs available in the market. However, the success of these devices will depend on the prices, overall functionality and the consumers’ willingness to carry a connected device in addition to mobile phone.
It is assumed that the devices will have Google Talk, which replaces cellular connectivity. Hence, VoIP and other Google support could make a difference for the Android-based tablets.

Apple has launched its new tablet device, iPad that is. The Mac public was once expecting, indeed clamoring — for Apple to unlock any such software — and soon! For Apple to have failed to do so may had been an incredible letdown (to its consumers as well as its stockholders). The momentum was simply not possible to resist.
After all, the iPhone is essentially a miniature tablet computer. Apple has proven that it may well “do” such a device like no one else. So, despite Steve Jobs prior protestations, liberating a new tablet was a no-brainer. All Apple had to do is scale up its sensible interface to a bigger device.
Apple has a major head get started with 140,000+ apps for the iPhone, and it properly designed the iPad to benefit from them. The iPad can run iPhone apps at their original size, or in “pixel doubled mode” twice the size as on the iPhone, in order that they fill the iPad screen. Developers can easily rewrite their iPhone apps in particular for the iPad in any such ways as to make the most of its new features.
Apple’s builders brag that it’s like “holding the entire Internet in your hand,” or like reading a physical guide or magazine.
Web photo designers and artists will enjoy the integrated Brushes application on the iPad’s better screen, even though a few may feel that it’s one thing like fingerpainting — a stylus that works with the iPad may not be supported.
Apple has completely rewritten its productivity software iWork for the iPad. Keynote incorporates custom graph styles, custom-designed themes, animations and effects, and brand-new features designed only for the iPad. Pages includes Apple-designed templates and formatting tools. Numbers provides over 250 formulas, flexible tables and sophisticated charts.
Want to catch up on your advertising reading? Apple has worked onerous to make reading e-books, magazines and newspapers satisfying on the iPad. Apple’s ebook tool has an interface that looks like a bookshelf. Flip the bookshelf over along with your finger, and you are brought to the net store the place you can acquire new books.
The iPad’s integrated Safari browser works similar to the one on your Mac. And, just like the version in your iPhone, you’ll be able to scroll through pages via flicking your finger across them, or pinch or double tap to zoom in on a photo.
The Mail software gives a panorama view with a cut up display appearing each the present email and the unread messages on your inbox. Want to view the current e mail message by itself? Simply turn the iPad to portrait mode and the message zooms to fill the screen. The iPad will work with standard e mail suppliers such as mobile me, Yahoo Mail, Gmail, Hotmail and AOL. To compose a message, you simply tap and start typing.
This brings us to the onscreen keyboard. Many pundits questioned how text entry may work on Apple’s new tablet device. You can use an external keyboard for typing lengthy documents should you wish. However, I think Apple made the suitable decision in not attempting to build a physical keyboard into the tablet. The purpose of the iPad is to convey your information and web surfing up close for an intimate feel. A keypad simply gets between you and the screen.
The on-screen keyboard is much larger, of course, than what is on the iPhone. In landscape mode, the keyboard is almost as huge as that on a regular laptop. With only a few tweaks to the word recognition and auto-correction features of the iPhone software, typing on this virtual keyboard, might be nearly as fast as using an actual one. Plus, I believe that voice dictation apps could come briefly to the iPad, just as they have on the iPhone.
And, of course, the iPad contains the entire comparable features as the iPhone, handiest in a larger form–video, YouTube, the iPod and iTunes, interactive satellite maps, the notepad, a calendar totally redesigned from the ground up for the iPad, Contacts and Spotlight search.
The iPad shall be shipped in three different internal storage configurations and with the option of Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + 3G, for a total of six other models. The base model, the 16 GB Wi-Fi only, will start at an affordable 9, while the top of the line 64 GB Wi-Fi + 3G style will tip the scales at 9. Apple has stated that, even as such a lot new technologies are introduced at a better price aspect, Apple wanted to do things differently.
When will the iPad be available? Apple expects the Wi-Fi models to ship in late March and the 3G models to ship in April.
The thinness, just half inches, the light weight, just 1.5 pounds, and the versatility of this new device are certain to make the iPad well-liked by Internet retailers and anyone on the go. With its high resolution LED backlight, it is larger display, it’s responsive multi-touch monitor and its powerful Apple-designed processor, the new iPad can be and light-weight to take anywhere. And I suspect that many of us will choose to do exactly that.
