Asus 12″ EP121Eee tablet shown on video
I’ve got a feeling that by the end of the year, every single home is going to have at least one tablet device. If you need any more convincing about how popular tablets are going to be next year, here’s one more to add to the list. Asus has decided to join in the tablet game earlier this year with their 12 inch EP121 Eee Pad. They have just released a teaser promo video showing off its functions and capabilities. The EP121 runs Windows 7 on an Intel Core i5 processor, with HDMI and USB ports, external SD card support, a front facing camera, full HD playback support, and more. The tablet will be introduced at CES 2011 and it’s expected to turn some heads. Check out the video after the break:
The title says it all, and that was pretty quick. It was only yesterday when the iOS 5 was announced and the beta was made available to developers but yet wasting little to no time, hackers MuscleNerd and Co have managed to jailbreak iOS 5 on the iPod touch fourth generation. The exploit they used was the limera1n jailbreak which means that iOS 5 presented the hackers with little surprises when it came to closing the loop holes that would make the limera1n exploit work.
Naturally the iOS 5 is currently in beta which means there are probably still plenty of holes to be exploited and we can only assume that in the final release iOS 5 would-be hackers will have a harder time trying to jailbreak it. However this is good news for those on jailbroken devices who were worried that they might be in for a rather long wait when it comes to getting the jailbroken version if iOS 5 on their devices.
Anyone who has owned an iOS device knows that upon out of the box, the first thing they see is their device asking them to tether it to their computer in order to set up synch with iTunes. Not necessarily a bad thing but what if the person’s computer was not well equipped enough to run iTunes properly or what if they didn’t know what all these synching meant?
Tabbed browsing isn’t new. In fact there are browser apps already available for iOS that features tabbed browsing, but either way we are happy that Apple has decided to sit up and take notice of what users want in their browsers and finally implemented tabbed browsing in their native iOS browser app, Safari.
