- What are MID and UMPC devices? How do they differ. List atleast three examples of both types of devices & include images.
- Business-class device for enterprise users
Runs a "heavy" OS like Vista - Optimized for office-use applications like Excel, Word, etc.
- Consumer-class lifestyle device
- Runs a 'lightweight" OS with quick startup like Linux
- Optimized for things like media playback and web surfing
- In 2009 (or so) Moorestown-based devices will be classed as MIDs only
2. What are the differences between a Notebook handheld computing device and a Netbook handheld computing device?
the difference between a notebook and a netbook is :
the netbook, looks like a laptop and it even has features of a laptop but it isnt a laptop.
Netbook screens come in 7,9,10 inch but the smallest notebook screen is 12.1 inch.
Size varies
Power, memory and storage is the difference between these screens.
Since there is very limited amount of space on the netbook, it is mainly just to store some pictures and videos on whereas the notebook has lots of memory and there you store lots of movies.
3. Using the following sites, describe the design & features of the Apple Ipad then discuss how it compares with a Netbook.
Ipad 2- thinnner, faster, quicker, 10 hour battery
there is more freedom and adverse things in the IPAD 2, where a touch of a finger is enough.
whereas the netbook is smaller and more conjusted.
4.Of the three handheld devices - Notebook, netbook & Ipad – which one would suit your needs and why?
From the options of having a notebook, net book or Ipad I would definitely get an Ipad. I would want an Ipad because of all the fabulous compliments Ive heard, and also due to the fact it is from the apple company. The difference between the net book and the Ipad is that Ipads are more convenient and accessable, with a simple touch of a finger you could access lots of things. If you need to use the internet or anything, Ipad is the best because as seen on the iphones and ipod touches, the internets (WIFI) speed is extremely fast ans easier, whereas in the other devices, it might take a way to load a website. Therefore I would choose the Ipad over anything else.
5. If I was looking for a UMPC device with a screen size of 10 in or less, which would you recommend? Justify your choice.
I would recommend the Netbook. A UMPC device is very useful for business people and a netbook is just the thing. A netbook is avaliable in the 10 inch screen and also is very compatiable due to its size, therefore if you have a business meeting anywhere or in any place, a net book is fabulous, due to the size and weight of this object.
6.View some of the videos at this link http://www.umpcportal.com/ .How would you envisage students five years from now using one of these devices at school. Select any UMPC / MID device that you have researched that would meet a students needs, justify your choice.
The UMPC device is :CCC 2011 #4 The Mobile IT Manager this device will be benefical for the students, due to its size, they can fit it in their bag, or carry it, it doesnt take up so much space. This device has many programs like MS office suit, MS Project and many more. It is a 7 inch screen which fulfills the desires of most of the students at Catherine Mcauley.
