Experience contest platform multi-task switching method Competition

One of the most typical scenario is to open foreign language reading application on the plate, suddenly do not understand the words, we can directly switch to the dictionary application to translate it, and then switch back. In this process, the body of processor and memory under test run two applications at the same time, three flat-panel systems Who will be the distribution of multiple tasks, will be able to gain valuable system resources as well as life, so every a system of multi-tasking capabilities under the foot work.

The task switching manner Competition:
It is hoped that in the plate to use the multi-tasking capabilities, so you can run multiple programs at the same time, helping them to improve efficiency in the use. A simple multi-task switching will enhance the user experience, tablet three systems in order to make themselves easier to use, are looking for a simple and practical way of multi-task switching, then who do better?

New iPad switch
iOS since version 4.0 supports multi-tasking capabilities. The new iPad multitasking easiest way is to use four fingers to slide to the top of the screen to bring up the multitasking menu. Multitasking menu, opened before the application will show the form of icons here, click on the different icons can enter different applications, so as to achieve the purpose of switching tasks.

The new iPad also can be an easier way to switch. We only use four fingers to swipe left or right of the screen will be able to switch to other programs that have opened.
Note 10.1 switching mode:

Note 10.1 multitasking switcher is relatively intuitive, a multi-task icon in the status bar at the bottom of the system is designed specifically, users only need to click on it, you can see on the screen all open applications, and show them to the application form of screenshots. Multitasking icon has been fixed in the taskbar, ready to standby.
Worth mentioning, the the new multitasking way Android - split-screen multitasking realized Note10.1. This approach allows the flat panel display on a single screen at the same time on the half two procedures. This multi-task a limitations specified program is the only support split-screen run, so the randomness poor.

Surface switch:
Surface adopted the the Win RT system, it has two way switch tasks. We can use a finger to the center from the left edge of the screen drag when the finger is released, it will switch to the recently opened programs. Another switch program also need to slide a certain distance from the left side of the screen with a finger, then slide back the screen, which exhaled multitasking menu. Multitasking menu will display the currently running application screenshot, click to enter the appropriate procedures. The multitasking menu can display up to seven program will replace the oldest open procedures when open more than seven.

Surface by using Win RT system also has a split-screen multi-tasking capabilities and better powerful than Note10.1 of it to support all applications under the Windows UI for split-screen display, the screen has a size for the user to select the area the user to drag the application to a different area can be displayed.

The three platform switch Competition Summary:
Whether new iPad four finger swipe, the Note 10.1 multitasking menu or the Win RT single finger sliding, we can see that every vendor in the efforts will switch designed for operation more simple and practical.

Note10.1 multitasking switcher is very intuitive, but want to switch to another program, you need to click on the multitasking icon, then select the appropriate procedural steps before they can achieve that better iOS four-finger swipe Win RT single refers to simple dragging.

The Win RT system was released on October 26 this year, compared to iOS, Android system, it is late for more than 2 years. But this also makes it simple iOS multitasking switching advantage with Android systems that absorb the powerful split-screen multi-tasking capabilities, and maybe that is who was home on benefits. Therefore, in this round of competition, Microsoft Surface winner.

Sales lower than expected, Who "kill" Surface?

Recently, Surface Tablet sales stabilizing broken million in the fourth quarter of this year, Detwiler Fenton in Boston economy company also released the data, said Microsoft may only sell in the fourth quarter of this year from 500,000 to 600,000, IHS iSuppli analysts said Taiwan Surface, 1000000-2000000 units sales far below the expected.

Detwiler Fenton said Microsoft's Surface product strategy is some confusion, "limited retail channels as well as slightly higher than the $ 499 minimum price have become reasons lead to Surface equipment unsalable.

In other words, the Tablet Surface in Microsoft official online or now store has a sale, but for those consumers who do not understand the product, they are more willing to go to a physical store personally try to decide whether to buy the product, especially in the case of the Surface of the price is not cheap, this consumer demand becomes more apparent.

 

However, Microsoft only 65 brick-and-mortar store in North America, and 34 temporary holiday stores, consumers more often only through outdoor or television advertising to understand Surface, Microsoft is therefore the loss of a large number of potential users .

Some analysts believe that Microsoft should cooperate with more third-party retail enterprise Surface products to further expand sales channels, increase the presence of the Surface products, only to allow consumers to better understand the unique products to enhance sales.

iPod Touch 5 Review

From September 13th, Apple released the new generation of the iPod Touch has passed two months more than this thickness 6.1mm, weight only 88g smart device body relative to the previous generation of iPod Touch 4 has a lot of innovation. For iPod Touch, we of course cannot be attributed to the pure sense of the Tablet PC, but so far as to think about it, if the boundaries of the Tablet PC is also very vague. We can be called the iPad mini seemingly queen Touch Tablet PC Samsung Galaxy Note 2 called call tablet, the Asus Taichi called tablet notebook hybrid device. Everyone's mind for the definition of the tablet, which also determines the breadth of the Tablet PC product line. Perhaps at the moment it seems many devices and Tablet PC touch not the point on the relationship, but when portability, the definition of the tablet, how will be the ultimate retain only the screen?

So before the evaluation began, we may wish to first iPod Touch's product definition aside, the iPod Touch may already relatively familiar to many users, so the evaluation, we will also pay attention to the real application experience instead of a single boring products parsing. The most important points for both the iPod Touch 5 innovations including light level, innovative design concepts, new features layers expand. Trying to bring more intuitive evaluation experience and feel.

In fact, at first I get the iPod Touch 5 from the data alone do not think 6.1mm and 88g on the hands can make much of a difference, but when placed in the hands of time to get accustomed to the 7-inch or 9.7-inch tablet I instantly felt thin and light the true meaning.

Most thin and light portable smart mobile devices, terminals, as now, the thickness of the fuselage of the iPod Touch has reached unprecedented 6.1mm, 6.65mm beyond the known world's thinnest phone OPPO Finder. At present, its body thickness of most of the Tablet PC is still hovering around 8mm, like Toshiba AT270 (7.8mm), AT200 (7.7mm) and Samsung P6800 (7.9mm) is a few paragraphs below 8mm equipment. Apple iPad mini with 7.2mm again refresh Tablet thinnest records have to say, from an objective point of view, the iPod Touch 5 will indeed make the mobile terminal device and a step forward in the sexual revolution of the portable.

iPod Touch 5 was able to be so thin is also due to Apple's first iPod Touch using anodized aluminum craft MacBook product line of the same type, the use of a single piece of aluminum to build the fuselage.

Body weight, we can hardly find a intelligent devices of the same size, its weight is even lighter than the iPod Touch 5 of 88g. Whether it is on the hands or shirt pocket, you almost difficult to feel its presence. 88g equivalent to 20 sheets of A4 paper weight, equivalent to the weight of an egg, if once you get used to the iPod Touch 5 feel in your hand, you will find that their side of the electronic equipment is so heavy.
