iPod to iPad - it's a fight!
Finally, Apple has laid to rest fevered speculation by unveiling its long-awaited tablet PC, called the iPad.
Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive unveiled the touchscreen device at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco introducing it as a "third category" between smartphones and laptops. It looks like a large iPhone, can be used to watch films, store photos and browse the web.
This is the latest move in a chess game of legal proceedings that started in October when Finnish firm Nokia sued Apple, claiming that Apple's iPhone infringed ten of its patents.

Mr Jobs says the device lets people "hold the whole web in your hands". "What this device does is extraordinary. It is the best browsing experience you have ever had," he claims. The iPad also has iTunes software built in, allowing users to purchase songs and movies straight to the device.
in the meanwhile,
There'a a battle on as Apple takes on Nokia.
On 15 January, Apple filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission (ITC) asking it to block Nokia imports to the US.
This is the latest move in a chess game of legal proceedings that started in October when Finnish firm Nokia sued Apple, claiming that Apple's iPhone infringed ten of its patents. Apple countered by filing its own lawsuit against Nokia, saying the phone maker had copied certain aspects of the iPhone and infringed thirteen of its patents.
In late December, Nokia filed a further claim with the ITC, alleging Apple infringed seven of its patents in "virtually all of its mobile phones, portable music players, and computers".
Apple is also being sued by camera maker Kodak over technology used in the iPhone.

I was completely oblivious about the fight between APPLE and NOKIA and any other related to APPLE. Well it's business and war is one of its characteristics. Undoubtedly, the launch of Ipad is an extraordinary gift for gadets lovers. But its unique features can only be experienced by its awaiting customers after the settlement of disputes between the two top renowned companies of the world. Otherwise it's time to watch the war and hoping for some positive results.
for i pods is likely to be the begining of the next generation of consumer friendly gadgets.Some times it good for the customers but some times they hanged up in a dilema in which brand to choose.however it is good if a company should try to make the effort to bing the product within the reach of a customer.then we can say that company realy thinks about the customer not just about the product.
The iTampon is what it's all about - a cross between the iPhone and the Kindle thingy that Amazon brought out.
But watch this space .. Apple's always inventive.
Bye!
It seems to me that, it is a better technology, APPLE has introduced I-pad with the latest features in it. But the battle of two companies APPLE and Nokia has ruined the excitement of coming of I-pad in the market...The much awaited consumer have lot of expectations from it...let see weather they are fulfilled or not...but it must say that this has been indeed a great gift in the development of technology and no other company would have done it better den APPLE. It has also provide the good quality of sound .

The iPad kinda sucks... but watch out for iPad next generation - that may be something!
THIS IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE WHEN WE HAVE MANY OPTION WE FILL LIKE "CHOSSER" BUT WHEN WE NO OPTION WE ARE LIKE A "BEGGER". NOKIA AND APPLE ARE TWO BIG NAME OF THE WORLD.THEY ARE GIVING MANY FEATURE&NEW TECHNIC SO IT IS HELP US.
Both APPLE as well as NOKIA are well known for their products. Thus, a clash between them was not unexpected to me, because in competitive market these incidents often take place. But, I hope this controversy will end up soon on a positive note..
