The long rumored and highly anticipated Nokia N900 is finally shipping for US customers, as announced in an official press release today. Apparently pre-orders for the mobile computer, as Nokia refers to it, have started shipping and those who paid the hefty price should be getting their Linux-based Maemo-running handsets, shortly — if not today. A powerful pocket computer that runs Maemo, Nokia N900 marks a move away from Symbian. It brings multiple ways to connect to the Internet (including access for 3G data networks, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth), 32GB of storage and has the ability to multitask several applications or web browsers at once. There’s also a 3.5-inch touch screen, a full QWERTY keyboard that makes web browsing, IM and emailing very easy and a five megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and a dual LED flash, for perfect imagery. In the US the new N900 will cost some $649 if you plan a visit to Nokia’s flagship stores in New York and Chicago to get it yourself, or $504.99 on Amazon. With an open source operating system, incorporated technology like an OMAP processor, and real time web widgets, the Nokia N900 delivers the experience of a pocket able computer that has the information you’re looking for right there waiting for you thanks to the ability to be connected just about anywhere.” With the Linux-based Maemo operating platform, 32GB of storage and multiple options of connectivity including access for 3G data networks, consumers no longer need to leave everything that makes them – their email, favorite websites, social communities, images, music – anywhere but on their Nokia N900. With the Nokia N900, you don’t have to worry about missing that next great moment. Additionally, with the ability to multitask several applications or web browsers at once, the Nokia N900 allows for users to eliminate boredom wherever they go

Nokia N900 US Release Confirmed Today
Apple Tablet to be Unveiled in Second Half of 2010
We’re back with more Apple tablet rumors and you might not like what I’ll tell you today. It looks like Apple decided to push back the launch of the tablet to the second half of 2010. Are there any problems in paradise? Is Cupertino unable to deliver the tablet at an earlier date next year? Rumors say that Apple decided to make an OLED version of the tablet and it looks like we’ll get to chose between LCD and OLED displays. The 9.7-inch OLED screens are coming from LG so maybe it’s worth waiting for the OLED versions. The obvious question here is why couldn’t Apple launch the LCD version around March and then make the OLED version available in the second half of the year. Foxconn Electronics, Quanta Computer and Pegatron Technology are supposed to make the two tablets. And we can’t but wonder how three companies are going to split two different products. Speaking about the two versions, sources say that you can expect a 9.7-inch OLED tablet and a 10.6-inch TFT LCD model to be available in Apple stores around the world next year. With these panel-related rumors we also have some prices for you. Naturally the OLED version will be more expensive than the LCD version, which is one more reason for Apple to launch the LCD tablet as soon as possible. Those people willing to pay twice as much for a panel will definitely wait for the OLED tablet to come out. OLED panels are currently priced at $500 which represents about 30% of the total cost of the device. That means we can expect the tablet to cost from $1,500 to $1,700 in today’s prices. By mid 2010 we might see OLED prices drop so the overall price will also drop to $1,200 to $1,500. Thus an OLED tablet version will eventually cost around $2,000 in stores. On comparison, the LCD tablet will cost from $800 to $1,000 and the device will be significantly cheaper once bundled with a 3G plan from your favorite carrier. As you can expect Apple hasn’t confirmed any of this yet so we’re still hoping to see the tablets in stores next March.
Safe Mac Computing on an Unsafe Web
In the 21st century, Macs are running on an operating system based on a Unix kernel, called “OS X” (be careful to refer to as “OS 10,” that X is a Roman numeral for that). System version 9, which preceded it, was the latest version of the old Mac OS, and the history of this particular change is too long and complicated for this article. This, for most users of modern where begins.By Mac this time on Windows and Apple are about the same capacity in all directions. Apple stuck to the innovative design and there is much more expensive than a standard Windows-based computer, any, cost of initial system cost for the software, even for the cost of cables. One of the main differentiating factors between the two systems seems to be the apparent immunity of the Mac, the computer is malware past problems with startling we know today. From the rise of cybercrime to the ubiquity of botnets and malware, it seemed to be a real advantage for users already loyal subjects of the Macintosh computer. Like most Mac users today have never used the operating system older, many of them are no longer used anti-malware scanners.
Otherwise, it is important to protect the end user of a Macintosh system from suspicious Web sites, social engineering, false claims of all kinds now that Pepper’s World Wide Web. We note recent criminal exploits that contain threats to Windows and Mac, to detect what is available to infect and take action based on this detection. This is his debut today. If the bad guys (who are of several types and many nationalities) devote more research for the Macintosh, they are sure to find more open doors through which they passed in May, more weakness, they may operate. As competition increases among these thieves, it might be the next frontier for attack. This is not an attempt to scare anyone, but rather a heads up. We are looking for malware and protect the industry to see more each day. We think you might need some protection.
