7” iPad rumor has been around for long time. Jobs said Apple will not intentionally release 7-inch iPad. But after more and more Android tablet PC vendors released 7” ipad, some people begin to discuss whether Apple should reconsider its decision about 7” ipad.

Tablet PC is more like an entertainment product than one information products. so video and gaming are almost each iPad user’s choice.

Perhaps the user just purchased will be used iPAD mail, document processing and other office uses, and over time will certainly not know the inconvenience, the present mainland of online video has been supporting iPAD everywhere, the four door, Youku, potatoes, singular network and so has been introduced, the use of iPAD watch online video from the mainland to buy iPAD has become the core of consumer applications, which is significantly different from European and American customers, as the game, the old Yao do not think the future will hold the same as the core of online video, the reasons is also very simple, all indoor games iPAD product is good, there are still gaps in comparison with the use of computers, as magazines, online journals less because the mainland, many consumers have lost the habit of reading periodicals, although very suitable for journal iPAD magazine reading, the short term a low probability of iPAD core applications, but relatively specialized Ebook e-book reader terminals, tablet PCs and other products as iPAD heavy weight, fatigue and other features to read, hard to replace the Ebook market.

Online a lot of friends like to tablet PCs and laptops or even the Internet for comparison, in fact, the Internet extension of the notebook itself is between the two should not affect each other, and although called the Tablet PC computer, the old Yao is more willing to flat Computer positioning pure entertainment rather than information terminals, as for most Chinese consumers online video certainly one of its most important core application, so for comparison with the notebook will be the starting point itself does not, really above analysis, Apple does not launch 7-inch screen The iPAD strategy entirely correct, because watching the video with a Tablet PC 7-inch screen 10-inch screen no effect, especially for a lot of movies are widescreen now, the 7-inch screen seems too small.

Compared with the TV, watch the video using the Tablet PC features with the point with the largest broadcast and mobile, comfort, especially for the Chinese market, the policy of the Internet TV experience a bottleneck in the future tablet strengths in online video will become increasingly apparent that homework as long as the localization of the mainland Tablet PC manufacturers, is entirely possible advantages and iPAD based products such as localization to compete to see the country the United States shortly before the launch of the Tablet PC, although there was still a lack of performance, but it supports ADSL dial-up, many of the continent operations Modem provided itself with WIFI function, if consumers do not have the extra WIFI router, use the Tablet PC can not access, ADSL provides a country the United States dial directly using the Tablet PC provides the Modem carrier network via WIFI connection, in fact, localized a lot of work needs to be done, including many with online video providers, which will be the local products to compete with the iPAD core strengths.

To everyone’s surprise, Apple agreed this week that appear on the App Store IS Drive, an application associated with Imageshack hosting service that uses for its file transfers, the BitTorrent P2P protocol exchange. A first.

While the BitTorrent protocol has as such nothing illegal, it is because the negative connotations often associated with illegal downloading files from the Internet (you’ve probably heard of The Pirate Bay for example).

It is used in many applications, yet perfectly legal, where his ability to distribute the load of downloads between all users of the service is great. Do you know for example that the client update of the famous World of Warcraft uses BitTorrent?

The fact is that so far, Apple has always carefully rejected applications that integrated one way or another this protocol, apparently thinking that his presence might give rise to industrial uses … until this week.

SI Drive is an application intended for those with a paid subscription at Imageshack. The latter effect is accompanied by access to a service recovery of files via BitTorrent and SI Drive will simply download manager in question from his iPhone. Nothing too revolutionary therefore, it was not just BitTorrent downloads.

Remains whether the approval of SI Drive on the App Store is a sign of real change in mentality at Apple – following the announcement of the relaxation of publication – or if it error checking, which could then be quickly be corrected.

The author of SI Drive, which previously distributed its software via Cydia under the name “Jack Torrents, seems only moderately reassured. “I’m on dangerous ground here, and I know,” he explains to TorrentFreak.

“I would add perhaps a search function that allows the user to manually add the torrent site of choice. The application is not designed to easily break the law and hope that nobody intends to do so. But if a user is determined to commit a crime, why is it my business or that of Apple? They could do the same thing in Safari, right? “

SI Drive is offered in English only, via the App Store.
