“We think the Tablet market is ripe for”, said Zhang Xuejun, point and tablet computers have all the market pattern of a tipping point. “Like the previous battery life is a problem, Intel Atom and other chips are struggling to deal with it. When it comes to human-computer interaction, past the lack of efficient interface, and Win7 appeared, the perfect support Muti-Touch multitouch. Hanwang always had advantage in human-computer interaction. Even if the person is not familiar with the keyboard input method, can be put in hanwang pens to write on the tablet. ”

Said at a function, as the use of Win7 operating systems, so hanwang TouchPad has a variety of possibilities. You can either use it as a digital photo frame, you can also do “paper book”. Hanwang accumulation on the content resources, has given more support.

Zhang Xuejun specifically Zcom and showed us their cooperation do some computer magazines, such as the fashion magazine from traditional media, has a nice showing on the Tablet, not only to render fine color pictures, you can also freely zoom, drag and drop. Journal of the color effect, much larger than the expressive nature of the eBook. So, in his view, the Tablet may bring greater market demand than paper books.

However, battery life is still a problem. Chinese King of the product, maybe you can use two or three hours. Zhang Xuejun tells us, hanwang next May will be more energy-saving chips, or replace the battery design.

We normally do in reporting vendor name said much of the time, Acer, and Asus, and HP … But manufacturers of these territories occupy a pivotal position, which was the name come from? Small ginger did little research, obviously some name (Dell) to, some even check data, acting very strangely Donkey Kong was also keep people can’t grasp. Let’s take a look at some common power plant licensing, names come from!

(Note: the manufacturers names according to English alphabetical order)Acer (information)

Acer’s English name is full of mystery and one of them, from the official online information we only know at the time of set up in 1976, Acer’s English name is “Multitech”, that name is still used to this in 1987 was renamed “Acer”. What are the possible sources of it? Acer in Latin, meaning “sharp”, is the most likely of ziyuan, depending on the intended to judge, the English Ace “ACE in the hole, and a master” mean, Acer can be interpreted as “people who lead the Pack”, so only the name of it? Of course, begin with the Ac, it’s easy to position in the list made the beginning (like now), it is possible the XD.

Have any readers know the name of the source?

Apple (A)

Apple the origin of the name of the mysterious, as much as Steve Jobs’s health. Because it’s really Apple (Steve Jobs by 1976 Apple farm work)? Because of the Beatles Apple Records? Is simple only because Steve Jobs comes before Atari in phone book? Regardless of how, this name is Steve Jobs wanted to out, Wozniak also agreed of, just Wozniak some worried about they will because such and Apple Records up conflict–sure enough, two home company in 1991 Shi to computer built-in of CD-ROM for had a round litigation Hou (to Chamber outside reconciliation, Apple computer pay money do knot), 2003 two home company and again due to iTunes bumper Shang, currently is also no solutions does…

Asus (information)

ASUS source made it clear many of the English name, here’s the original website: “in Chinese named” master of the Chinese “for a period of the English name of inspiration from Greece legendary tianma” PEGASUS “, which symbolizes the pure and Holy, perfect image. “But this is no way to explain why it is the English pronunciation of” Acu or die “, because tianma in English should be pronounced” peiga dead “. Perhaps the ancient pronunciation?

Of course, the Pegasus was removed the first three letters, leaving only behind seems to be a plot comes before comparison, but still ranked behind Acer XD. Stopped by to mention that the separation of the ASUS pegatron, Pegatron is English name, letters were removed to fill back.

Dell(information)

The origin of the name Dell is easy–Michael Dell, founder. In 1984, he set up the Dell computer, was the first in accordance with user requirements assemble computer company. Although now there is no so surprising–even the p can be purchased on-demand parts – but at that time was a landmark initiative. This optional equipment features let users in the network era became more convenient, is also a root of Dell standard error occurred more than once …

Fujitsu (Information in Japanese)

Fujitsu name came with unexpected turns. Stories from Japan’s Furukawa Electric Industry and Germany’s Siemens joint venture was formed in 1923 “Fuji Electric Manufacturing Corporation,” said. Fuji electric “Fuji” actually comes from Furukawa Japanese law “Furukawa” at the beginning of the “Fu” and Siemens in Japanese law “Jiimensu” at the beginning of the “Ji” merged into “Fuji”. Later, in 1935, Fuji electric telephone manufacturing sector separate, or set up a “Fuji communication equipment manufacturing”, this abbreviation in 1954, the name officially became “Fujitsu”, directly in English law is Fujitsu.

HP(material)

Full name Hewlett-Packard HP, the origin of the name is the name of the two founders Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. When deciding on the order of names, is decided by coin of–Packard won, but decided to include their own names in the back, becoming HP. What if the little decisions, in turn, will write news “PH bought Palm” XD.

Lenovo(information)

Lenovo’s original name was “Legend”, but would like to know if that’s sold on international markets, will look around and call trademark lawsuit. So in 2004, when access to the original Legend of “Le” and represents a new “Novo” merged to become Lenovo.

MSI

Micro-probably is the most simple one in the entire List. Micro-English name is a direct translation in Chinese, “Micro-Star International”, another short about, that is, MSI.

Sony(information)

Sony set up was formerly at “Tokyo telecommunications industries”, but regardless of the pronunciation of the name (Tokyo Tsushiin Kogyo) or its abbreviation “East pass” (Totsuko) for foreigners, there are difficulties of pronunciation. Sony originally considered “TTK” and “Tokyo Teletech” the two names, but the TTK too like Japan a railway company’s name (TKK), and the Teletech is United States registered a company a good name, and therefore had to be dropped. The final decision, is Sony’s brand name for export as the name of the company, and was substituted off Japan formerly known at that time, Japan is a very rare thing.

Sony ziyuan from “Sonus”, Latin for “sound”, as well as the English “Sonny”, the little boy.

Toshiba(information)

Toshiba is Japan “Toshiba” direct pronunciations, and Toshiba’s name comes from the two merged to become Toshiba’s company “Tokyo Electric” and “Shibaura manufacturing”. Tokyo is a place name, Shibaura is also a place name (in Tokyo port area), so can mean Toshiba, this name is made up of geographical names!
