The Geek Church

Have you ever asked that question to the Lord. In all honesty, we are afraid of the answer.

If you read Exodus 3 and 4 and Proverbs 10 and the entry today.

Of course, the Apple iPad was the big news for the day, but there is more.

I would be remiss in my duties here on The Geek Church if I didn’t report on this, but honestly, there probably isn’t anything in here that you don’t know already. A few hours ago, Steve Jobs stood up at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and announced the iPad, Apple’s long-awaited tablet.

The Tablet has a multitouch screen that is 9.7 inches (on the diagonal) with 1024 x 728 resolution. It has 802.11 n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, speaker, microphone, built-in accelerometer and a compass. It also the first device to use a unique Apple A4 Processor. The battery life has been reported at ten hours of constant use. Whoa!

It has a screen that will rotate depending on which way you hold it. Just think of it as a big iPhone or iPod Touch. In fact, most people are thinking that already. The touchpad keyboard is about the size of a regular keyboard, which will definitely come in handy.

As for the price, that is depending on what you want. With Wifi, it is $499 for 16GB, $599 for 32GB, and $699 for 64GB. It costs a tad more with WiFi and 3G as it is $629 for 16GB, $729 for 32GB, and $829 for 64GB. Apple promises to ship them in 60 days, so it is probably going to take a while for it to get to you.

With all the hype surrounding 3D TV at home, it is nice to hear that some manufacturer is doing something about it. Samsung has just begun to produce 40, 45, and 50-inch panels with 240MHz technology. These 3D TVs can deliver full HD in 2D and full HD in 3D at 240 frames per second.

Funny glasses are required, and this will be the “3D active glasses” that can block the left and then the right lens. Many of these are electronic in order to create this “flicker effect” required for good 3D.

Supposedly, the 3D TV market will be a $17 billion dollar industry by 2018. I would definitely like to see that.
