Motorola Xoom

     I know that I talked a little about the Xoom in one of my previous post, and I had very bad feelings about it.  Now that it is out, I'm pretty impressed.  It's sporting a 1 GHz processor with 32 GB of space, just as much as the IPad 4 that can get up to 64 GB with the same processor power.  Battery life is about the same with IPad 4 winning at 25 hours and Xoom having 24.5 hours; I guess its about the same.  Even size and weight are about the same (just down to millimeters).  What makes it different from IPad 4 would be have a webcam and a camera on the back, expandable storage space, HDMI out, USB 2.0 inputs, and flash ready, so you can get the full experience of web browsing than on the IPad 4.  I know that IPad 5 should be coming out soon, so I hope Apple is well prepared to come back swinging.

Light Peak

     Light Peak was unveiled back in 2009 and is said to be available sometime this year.  Light Peak is a new optical technology that doesn't use light-based tech to transfer data, but is moved along copper.  This new technology is said to be able to move between 10 gigabits per second and 100 gigabits per second and connecting devices like external drives, monitors, scanners, and other peripherals.  Apple is planning to use this technology in some of there up coming toys in the future and also Sony is also help backing Light Peak.

Android 3.0 Honeycomb

     I know that I have already talked about a Tablet that will be running Android, but I did a little digging and came across the new Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS that will be running on the new Tablets that will be coming out soon like Motorola Xoom, The Asus Eee Tablets and so on.  PCWorld said that it will have a Windows-style taksbar and tab browsing, a new holographic look, and five customizable home screens. Honeycomb will also have the power the NVIDIA's chip the Tegra 2 to run it.  I know that the excitement of the Android Honeycomb OS for Tablets may sound great but cost may be another story.  With the Xoom priced at $1199.99, you may be better off getting an IPad.

Mobile MIM

     When the IPhone first came out, there was the talk about Mobile MIM, an medical app for the IPhone that is able help doctors to give medical diagnoses by sending magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, and other nuclear medicine technology on their Apple hand-held.  This app has finally been approved by the FDA and is already in 34 other countries like Eurasia, the Middle East, Asia, and should be coming to the United State pretty soon.  I think that this is something that will enhance and hinder the relationship between doctor and patient, but with the seeming growing number of patients, I guess the doctors need something to keep up.
