我们都知道Intel一直在试图将Android带到自己的Atom平台上，1个月前他们宣布了Atom已经可以成功运行Android和Meego系统，今天他们又透露了这颗Atom芯片的一些技术细节。 这颗Atom芯片属于Z6xx系列，在手机上可达到1.5GHz的主频，在平板上更是可以摸高到1.9GHz的速度，足以提供1080p视频的解码和720p视频的录制，帮助3D显卡闲置功耗降低50倍以上，等于多赋予电池10天的待机。这个新的芯片组应该可以提供长达2天的音频回放和4-5小时的视频浏览。 对Android的支持方面，Z6xx平台可支持标准的WiFi、3G/HSPA和WiMAX无线连接。之前传说Google和索尼联手打造的Android TV就内置了Intel的Atom芯片，那么很可能就是Z6xx系列，我们会在5月19日的Google I/O大会上见到运行Android的Atom芯片的庐山真面目。

Apple tends to do that a lot. It’s deeply ingrained in their culture, priorities, and product development practices. In brief, their philosophy seems to be to ship only what’s great and leave out the rest. That’s why, instead of having a bad copy-and-paste implementation for the iPhone’s first two years, we just didn’t have one at all

Android as a platform, both in hardware and software, doesn’t reflect this. Nearly every hardware and software release has major shortcomings or rough edges. Many details and design decisions are lacking, wrong, or inexplicable. Neither Google nor the current Android device manufacturers embody the part of Apple’s culture that allows them to release a great product on day one. They have a different pattern: It’s always getting better. We’re always supposedly one or two releases from it being really great.

I never make technology-buying decisions based on future promises, rumors, or potential. I let other people be the bleeding-edge extremely early adopters, and I stick with what I know will work and stay out of my way. I don’t buy things that are “getting better”, because they usually don’t. Whatever caused them to be lacking in their current release will usually prevent them from being great in future releases. I buy things that are great today. They’re usually things that have been great since day one. And, more often than not, they’re Apple products.

距离 iPad 2 发布会越来越近，各种传言也越来越多，包括 iPad 2 会更轻更薄、会在发布之日就开始发售等等。一起来看看之前的各种猜测，期待一下即将到来的发布活动吧

ifanr 将在 3 月 3 日凌晨两点在微博、Live 和推上为大家同步转播 iPad 2 发布会，敬请期待

虽然 BGR 认为 XOOM 还是无法替代笔记本电脑，但是强大的硬件、令人印象深刻的规格配备以及专门为平板准备的系统，让 XOOM 仍不失为一款非常棒的产品。即便不够创新，与 iPad 相比在易用性、直观性以及软件选择上也没有做得更好，也一定会赢得很多消费者的青睐

电力表现不俗，标称 18-20 小时，TC 的编辑经过十小时的正常使用（音乐、读书、浏览网页）以后，还能剩余 67% 的电量，对于普通用户来说，应该是绰绰有余了

总体来说，从硬件上 XOOM 超越了 iPad，在工业设计和美学方面和 iPad 也是同一档次，只是已经非常出色的 Honeycomb 系统在易用性上还无法跟 iOS 相比。除此之外，XOOM 无疑是当今市场最好的平板电脑
