A combination of a tablet and a notebook in a single form factor is what the Asus Taichi and Transformer Book convertibles are all about. The former device sports two flippable displays, one on the outside and a second under the lid, while the latter gadget has a touchscreen which can be conveniently undocked from its keyboard extension.

Announced to arrive in 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch versions, the Taichi employs double-sided LED-backlit displays – the one under the hood flaunts FHD resolutions. With an aim to play the role of both a notebook and a tablet, it packs in a full-sized QWERTY backlit keyboard and a trackpad to deliver a laptop-like feel, while closing the lid converts the device into a slate with multi-touch capabilities and stylus support. so what powers this acclaimed new concept of computing? Asus has embedded it with the third generation of Core processors from Intel along with SSD storage and dual band Wi-Fi 802.11n connectivity.

“At Asus we have been incubating for the arrival of this exciting era for several years. we believe that an open and balanced architecture can provide the best, ultimate solution for the new ubiquitous cloud computing era,” commented Asus chairman, Jonney Shih.

Google, however, clarified its position on the Android Contributors Google Groups page. Android Open Source & Compatibility Tech Lead Dan Morrill posted an official statement on the CDMA devices:

“This is a quick clarification about support for CDMA devices.

For various technical reasons, recent CDMA Android devices implement core telephony functionality in .apk files provided in binary form by the carriers. to function correctly, these .apk files must be signed by the so-called “platform” key. However, when an individual creates a custom build from the AOSP source code, they don't use the same signing key as these CDMA files were signed with.

The result is that these files don't work properly, and pure AOSP builds running on these devices can't place calls, access mobile data, and so on. Because we aim to make sure that we are as clear as possible about the degree of support that devices have, we updated the docs over at source.android.com to reflect this reality.

We will still make available as many as possible of the closed-source binaries for these devices, and Nexus devices will continue to have unlockable bootloaders. And, of course, GSM/HSPA+ devices are still supported, as are any other devices we're able to support. We've simply updated the documentation to be clearer about the current extent of CDMA support.

We are of course always working to improve support, and we'll keep everyone updated as we make improvements. thanks as always for your interest in AOSP!”

Google's latest move can be viewed as a response to Verizon's continual reluctance to support the Google Wallet feature. but the news of removal of CDMA devices came just a day after AT&T and Verizon announced to unblock installation of Google Wallet on the Android Market.

The Galaxy Nexus LTE, Nexus S 4G and XOOM CDMA, however, are still valid as Verizon devices and users can still download the Android code, compile it and run it on the phone.

Apple: School should center on the iPad

Posted on by

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Apple announces digital textbook publishing app
  • The free app is called iBook Author
  • The company says anyone can make a digital textbook in five minutes
  • Moves are part of Apple’s larger strategy to remake the textbook industry

(CNN) — Apple on Thursday lifted the veil on its plans to remake the educational landscape in a way that centers on its best-selling tablet computer, the iPad.

“Education is deep in Apple’s DNA and iPad may be our most exciting education product yet,” Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of marketing, said in a statement.

At a press conference in New York, the company announced three products that aim to get students and teachers to use the iPad’s touch-screen interface to read, write, plan classes and communicate with each other.

First, a free app called iBooks Author lets anyone create a digital, interactive textbook.

In a demo at the event, an Apple employee created an e-book with the app in about five minutes, according to live blogs.

Second, an update to a piece of software called iTunes U lets teachers plan their curriculum and communicate with their students over the iPad.

The new iTunes U, which also is free and available on Thursday, will “allow anyone, anywhere, at any time to take courses for free,” Schiller said, according to Fortune.com’s Philip Elmer-DeWitt, who was live blogging from the event. Fortune is a partner site of CNN.com.

“If you’re an educator at a university, college, or K-12 school, now you have an easy way to design and distribute complete courses featuring audio, video, books, and other content,” Apple’s website said Thursday. “And students and lifelong learners can experience your courses for free through a powerful new app for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.”

Finally, a new textbook store called iBooks 2, also a free app, will feature digital e-books for schools.

Apple said it is partnering with several major textbook companies — including Pearson, McGraw-Hill and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, who will make e-books for the store, according to Fortune.

High school textbooks start at $14.99, the company said.

In another demo, Apple’s Roger Rosner showed off textbooks for the iPad that allow students to zoom in on pictures of cells, dissect digital frogs and make notes and highlights on the e-book pages.

“I don’t think there’s ever been a textbook that made it this easy to be a good student,” Rosner said, according to Fortune.

All of these moves are part of Apple’s larger strategy to remake the textbook industry. the company reportedly has been courting schools to make use of its popular tablet computer.

At the press conference, Schiller mocked paper textbooks, saying, “They’re not portable, not durable, not interactive, not searchable.” Books on the iPad are all of those things, he said, according to live blogs covering the event.

Some educators seem to be excited about the changes.

“Apple has recognized that learning for students is not a one-way street,” Jed Macosko, an associate professor at Wake Forest University, said in a statement.

“Until now, most traditional e-textbooks have focused on linear content delivery, which is not the way people learn. Research shows that we learn by asking questions,” said Macosko, the author of an interactive biology textbook.

Others questioned whether the move could give Apple too much control over educational content.

“(It’s) not clear so far whether Apple’s new textbooks will be open formats (ePub etc.) or only in Apple format,” Mathew Ingram, a senior writer for the blog GigaOm, posted on Twitter after the event.

Or they mocked the fact that Apple is trying to take such a big role in education.

“For a small upcharge, Apple will put a huge logo on your school and tattoo an Apple on each (student’s) forearm,” user @irasocol wrote on Twitter.
