iPad Air, Retina iPad mini coming to India on Dec 7


After a wait of over a month,Apple has released the launch date of its iPad Airand iPad mini with Retina Display for the Indian market. Both the new tablets will be launched in India on December 7.

While the 16GB Wi-Fi only iPad mini with Retina display has been priced at Rs 28,900, its corresponding iPad Air model comes with a price tag of Rs 35,900. The company has not announced the prices of the 32, 64 and 128GB variants as well as the 4G-enabled models of the two tablets as of now.

iPad Air is 20% thinner, 28% lighter and has 43% smaller bezels than last year's iPad 4. The tablet features a 9.7-inch Retina display and resembles iPad mini a lot. It is 7.5mm thick and weighs 1 pound; Apple claims it is the thinnest full-sized tablet in the world.

The new iPad model uses the same 64-bit A7 chip and the M7 motion co-processor that was introduced recently with the iPhone 5S. It can open files and render graphics twice as fast as the iPad 4, while still promising the same 10-hour battery life.

The Retina iPad mini has twice the screen resolution than the first model at 2048x1536p in the same 7.9-inch display. It also runs on the 64-bit A7 chipset, a huge upgrade over the A5 chip used in the previous version. This model is a huge upgrade over the first-generation iPad mini.

Apple is bringing the new iPads to India soon after Google launched the second-generation Nexus 7 tablet in the country. Though the two are competitors, Nexus 7 is a much cheaper, with a starting price of Rs 20,999.

Apple recently recorded its best-ever sales in India with the launch of the iPhone 5S. The model has been sold out across India even weeks after its launch, even as retailers struggle to meet the demand for the device.

Apple stores may get iPhone-connecting transmitters in Share Apple is likely to equip its retail stores with transmitters that connect to visitors' iPhones and provide messages based on the products of their interest.     The iBeacon transmitter system has been designed to enhance the shopping experience of people who visit the store. According to Cnet, the transmitters would connect to a user's iPhone and send messages as the user takes a look around products in the store, offering more product information or invitation to workshops. The report said that stores such as Nordstrom experimented with such a system before bringing in the wrath of customers who discovered they were being tracked as they wandered through the store.

1. Irrelevant Elements By far, the biggest issue I come across with new site launches is this: They use too many elements that bring no real value to the audience. In fact, these often just downgrade user experience considerably. There are too many crowded designs and too much text on one page. There are too many icons and photos. Does your site really need a search bar? Do you really need to show the tag cloud in your blog sidebar? Think hard. What are the 20% of elements that bring 80% of the results you're after? Start there. Always have a sound reason for adding new features, bells and whistles. Never add more stuff just because it seems "cool and hip." - Juha Liikala , Stripped Bare Media 2. Flash Intros Flash intros are annoying for the customer, take too long to load, don't work on Apple mobile devices and are not recognized by Google. It is best to avoid them entirely. - Josh Weiss , Bluegala 3. Photo Carousel A lot of sites stil

How noise-cancelling technology works for headphones    Bose pioneered the concept of noise-cancelling headphones way back in 1989 after more than 10 years of research. ET explains how this fascinating technology works. Noise cancellation in the car You may have experienced that some cars are quieter than others - this is because of the special attention paid to insulating materials (special laminated glass for example). However, there's only so much that passive noise isolation can accomplish inside the complicated acoustics of the car. That's why luxury carmakers have been implementing active noise cancellation for a quieter cabin. The same active noise cancelling technologies used in headphones can be easily implemented in a car. See image for details. How it works Simply put, active noise cancellation works by 'listening' to unwanted ambient sounds, and then producing a s
