iPhone 4 vs iPad - Trend

Looks like iPad has more momentum than iPhone 4, at least for now. Well, I think this is quite true, because I think iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS does not change that much as in apperance.

Well, not much, like say, between a Macbook Pro and an iPad.

iPad is becoming popular in the education world and the ebooks on iPad is also popular. I guess the shortage of iPads are adding momentum as well, you know, you want something more when you can't get it easily.

Just a note.

Companies worth investing.

This is a list of companies I am thinking are worth investing in.

1. Intel Corp - for the Logic LSI
2. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. - for the Logic LSI
3. Samsung Electrics Co., Ltd. - for the Logic LSI and Memory
4. Toshiba - for the Memory
5. Omron - for sensors
6. Eye-fi - for innovative wifi enabled SD cards - expect to see a huge boom or to become a standard in the next few years.

I wish I could make something like this. Maybe I should.

Me 2.0 and my future

I recently bought a book called Me 2.0, which I bought in Kinokuniya in Sakuragicho, Yokohama. The book is very interesting, especially since it was written very recently, and is relevant to the lifestyle I am having.

This year, like I am saying from many years before, will be the year I will travel to U.S. . The main place I will be visiting is Massachusetts, but probably I want to visit New York and California as well.

This summer, I will be continuing to attend the IT engineer school I entered, and save up enough money for this trip.

Hopefully I will be able to visit Googleplex. :) (And yes, I did get this rare chance to go to the Google Shibuya office in Japan which was awesome)

A perfect handshake is formialized. Uhmmm? yeah.

What is this about? A perfect handshake?

Well, yeah, I guess it's important for you if you are a businessman meeting so many new people. But this made me laugh.

Thinking of where I should go for travel.

I am thinking of going to Guam, or Massachusetts for travel.

Probably I'll visit:

Cambridge, MA - Top of the list for now.
Guam - Very realistic but maybe after Cambridge.

Free Audiobook is FREE!

Did you know that you can download Free by Chris Anderson for FREE on iTunes?

Yes. It's legal AND it's on iTunes.

Just follow this link.

I am downloading the audiobook right now on my Emobile connection!

Some IT Trends keywords in Japan.

Some IT Trends keywords I am thinking which will grow in Japan from 2010 onwards.

DLNA & Wifi

Sharp

iPad - Yes. I must admit iPad is going to be really big in its market share. I am hoping to develop applications for iPad, and possibly some ebooks.

iPhone 4 - Yes, another Apple product. BUT, this time, it might do pretty well, especially since you can do FaceTime.Although the market share of iPhone 4 compared to iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS is still relatively low, I know the accessory world will be a boom.

Android 2.2 - Although I seriously doubt Softbank will allow Wifi Tethering option on their network, I think Android 2.2 will bring a boost to the Android Market. I am hoping that there will be alot more Android devices that will come out from Japanese companies, and not just the Taiwanese company HTC and Sharp.

Google TV - Yes. This should be a big hit if this comes out as planned in 2010. I can see a world where the internet enabled TV will become a very normal thing, and people will use Google to search just about any TV show or content they want.

For a rich Google TV experience to take place, SONY should work on making simple interfaces that load FAST. Also, to turn on the TV should not take more than 1 second, because if you have to wait longer than that, I know users will feel the stress in using, and revert back to the "regular" TV.

I think it will be really good for me to research further into search engine patents. Any suggestion of sites that you might think worth visiting, is welcome.

Youtube supports 4K content !

Do you know about 4K video?

Well I didn't, until today.

4096 x 3072 is the resolution of the 4K, and that's pretty amazing. And Youtube is supporting the resolutions already.

Try out the original resolution. I doubt that it will play smoothly since the bandwidth it consumes is enormous, but give it a try if you DO have the 4K equipment.

Bought a Leather Case for iPod Nano 5th Gen.

Today, I bought a leather case for the iPod Nano 5th generation. The cool thing is there is the Kalvina strap, so you can attach to the belt hole.

The maker is Elecom, by the way.
