'Samsung Galaxy Table 10.1' vs 'iPad 2'


Samsung Galaxy Tab pill 10.1 is expected to be entering the market during the week in some stores, although it will be officially launched by the only company on 17 June. So the 3G version of the tablet goes on sale later this year. The chip is supposed to challenge the indomitable iPad 2, which is currently sold at thousands of retail stores and 300 Apple stores worldwide.

 As its name suggests, the tablet has a capacitive touch screen of 10.1 inches and a 1 GHz dual processor, storage options (16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB), a 3 megapixel rear and side a front facing 2-megapixel camera and more. The final honeycomb (Android 3.1) operating system powers tab Samsung Galaxy 10.1.

Samsung Tablet is said to be thinner than 0.2 mm 2 IPAD. Thus, through the features, Galaxy 10.1 tab seems a worthy opponent for 2 IPAD. However, Apple tablet has its own share of advantages and despite the arrival of several competitors that have come with better specifications, which retains its market share. support of others is one of the greatest advantages of Apple, which means that there are many additional features available for Apple products not manufactured by Apple, but remain an inseparable part of the experience. 

Despite coming from the same family, in terms of adding other modules, Apple provides for user choice - a good marriage. Speaking of choice, it will be convenient for users if we take the example of the cat.

There are more options for users to chat while Samsung Galaxy Tab Apple FaceTime. But IOS devices that offer applications such as Skype, while Android applications are designed primarily for small screens. IOS devices also provide access to many applications and Android applications numbers do not match. 

The IPAD 2 also faces the threat of Toshiba, which will launch this pill, known to thrive in a month or two. To create the hype, Toshiba decided to make fun of IPAD 2, but remains to be seen how this strategy pans in the real world.

Why ? Apple Tracks You Via iPhone: It's Not Why You Think

Wondering why your iPhone and 3G-enabled iPad are storing your general location in an easily accessible database on your PC? It's simple. Apple uses this information to build a cell tower and Wi-Fi access point location database, and the company admitted as much last year. At least that's my theory. Let's take a look.



The iTracking "Scandal"

On Wednesday, two researchers released an open source application called iPhone Tracker that pulls data from a hidden location history database contained in your iOS device's backup files saved on your PC. The app then plots this location information on a map allowing you to see your phone's travels over the past year. Your iOS devices have been building this location database since iOS 4 was released in June of last year, the researchers say.

The data appears to be based on cell tower triangulation and not GPS. This means the location information is not pinpoint accurate, but only shows your general location. The researchers also discovered in the database a list of Wi-Fi access points that your device has been in range of during the past year.

The researchers don't believe this data is leaving your custody, but I disagree. My best guess is that it is leaving your device as anonymized and encrypted information that Apple then uses to build its cell tower and Wi-Fi access point database.

Here's why.

What Apple Said

In July 2010, Apple sent a letter to Reps. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) and Joe Barton (R-Texas) spelling out in detail what kind of location information Apple collects from device owners. Apple may "collect and transmit cell tower and Wi-Fi Access point information automatically [from your device]," the letter reads. "This information is batched and then encrypted and transmitted to Apple over a secure Wi-Fi Internet connection every twelve hours."

The letter was requested by the Congressmen after a Los Angeles Times report in late June 2010 said Apple had changed its privacy policy to allow the company to collect and share your Apple device's location information. You can find the letter to the Congressmen here.

Same File?

It's not clear if the location database the researchers found and the "batched" location information Apple takes from your device are the same file. But that seems very likely. I have sent a note to Apple about this and will update this post should the company reply.

The only troubling thing, however, is that Apple said in the letter that it encrypts your location data before sending it back to company servers. But the database on your computer is sitting there unencrypted in an easily discoverable location. This means the database is a potential target for malware or even law enforcement if the authorities should decide to seize and search your PC. Apple will need to do a better job of protecting this data in future iOS updates now that its existence has been well publicized.

What You Can Do

An important thing to note is that Apple says it will collect almost no location information from your phone if you don't have location services turned on. To adjust your preference open up your device's Settings app (the silver cog) and toggle 'Location Services' to 'Off' if you don't want to be tracked.

Even then, location information is only collected when you are using an application that requires your location such as Foursquare or Facebook Places, according to Apple. The only exception to this rule is that Apple will automatically collect cell tower information when your GPS-enabled device has location services turned on and is searching for a cellular network. Phones typically search for a network after dropping a connection or when first powering on.

Apple started building its own cell tower and Wi-Fi database after introducing iPhone OS 3.2 in April 2010. Previously, the company had used data from Skyhook Wireless and Google and still does for devices still running iOS 3.1 or older.
