Since Steve Job’s animated presentation on the iPad there has been a lot of speculation in the media and elsewhere about Apple’s latest product iPad. Sure the iPad will put to shame most tablet devices and book readers present in the  market today including the Kindle. A friend recently visited me from California and told me he couldn’t buy the iPad since it wasn’t available for sale. He was all praise for it, before I told him about the device and some of its shortcomings. Read on to enlighten yourself on what the iPad isn’t or can’t do.

• No Flash.  Millions of websites today use Flash but Steve Jobs somehow missed this point! Ok so users might see those Lego blocks on their screens prompting them to add a plug-in which Alas won’t be there unless someone does something about it.
• No Multitasking? So you won’t be able to listen to your favorite music while surfing the Web? Who cares, and why did you ever buy that Music enabled Smartphone, iPhone, iPod or whatever? Just wear the headphones and surf the Web on your iPad.
• No Camera. Since there is no camera there’s little room for a video conference. I believe this is a marketing strategy, give the people a camera –less iPad, make a newer more expensive iPad, attach a camera and un-apologetically launch it with a bigger price tag. That’s it. How else can one miss out this important feature?

PocketGear has acquired Handango, the announcement was made just a few days back. This might come as a surprise but the benefits are truly amazing, at least for PocketGear, quite simply because this lone move now gives it access to some 140,000 apps of various categories. This includes paid as well as free titles. This might as well be termed as  the creation of so far the largest cross platform, open app store on planet Earth.

The two stores are known to have generated over $ 400 million in revenue resulting from sale of mobile apps. This they say is spread across 175 countries, and the variety of mobile devices supported is well over 2000 in number.

PocketGear’s developer base alone has expanded to some 32,000 strong giving it more variety and reach. This will help improve its stats further as the company has already worked in conjunction with Samsung, Microsoft, LG, Sony Ericsson, RIM, Verizon and AT&T. Simply put more developers and more companies mean more variety and hence more revenue. And remember this is for a variety of devices unlike Apple.

PocketGear supports supposedly all brands less the “i” category Some of the brands under its belt are Java, Linux, Microsoft Windows, Android, Palm, Blackberry and the ever present Symbian.    

PockerGear’s strength comes form its business model which supports developers more than other competitors. PocketGear’s developers get to keep up to 90% of the share as against 70% in case of other models. Besides this the company CEO Jud Bowman says it has perfected its systems in a big way and Handset manufacturers or carriers can now launch their own customized stores in weeks.
