Seeing a demonstration in Tahrir

Right now we are seeing very elevated tweeting coming from Tahrir, and using twitter and social networks we can confirm that a demonstration is happening there now, though not of the scale of the Spring. Last check Tahrir was at 51 out of 100 on our Clima.Me scale. Comparing this to Paris which was at 62 we can see the intensity of tweeting in Tahrir





Off twitter we got some photos of the protest which you can see here

Sony Designs Tablet That's Not an iPad Wannabe

One reason Apple's iPad continues to dominate the tablet market after 17 months may be that all the main competitors look like imitations but don't deliver as good an experience. They are typically flat slabs, like the iPad, priced about the same or more, but with many fewer apps, shorter battery life, usually greater weight and thickness and a weaker ecosystem for music, video, books and magazines. Whatever advantages they have—like added ports or the ability to play Flash video—haven't been enough to sway consumers or developers.

Despite its shorter battery life and fewer apps for its Android operating system, the new Sony Tablet S has excellent ergonomics and is a decent alternative to the iPad, WSJ's Walt Mossberg says.

Now, Sony, whose brand and reputation for design have long resonated with consumers, is trying something different. On Friday, it is launching a handsome tablet with an unusual, asymmetrical design and some software tweaks and content services it hopes can set it apart from the pack. I've been testing this device, called the Sony Tablet S, and I generally like it, despite some weaknesses and some features that aren't yet fleshed out because they won't be fully rolled out at launch. The Tablet S will appeal to buyers who would like a distinctive tablet from a trusted company that doesn't look like an iPad wannabe.

However, the Tablet S looks nothing like the iPad 2 or any other current competitor. One of the long sides of its rectangular, plastic body has a thick, rounded edge that makes the device look like a folded-back magazine. In fact, Sony has carried this effect over onto the back, continuing the black curve with a molded black plastic sheet that looks like the rest of the magazine cover laying over a flat, gray surface.Like dozens of other tablets, Sony's new entry uses Google's Android operating system. And it costs the same as the Wi-Fi-only iPads—$500 for a 16 gigabyte model and $600 for a 32 gigabyte model. The Tablet S has no cellular-data option. It's also late to the game, and, in my tests, had significantly weaker battery life than the iPad 2.

Laying the Tablet S, left, in landscape, or horizontal, mode, creates a natural angle for typing. Coming this fall, the Tablet P, right, which unfolds to reveal twin 5.5-inch displays.

While this design makes the Tablet S much thicker than many competitors, it has several advantages. When you hold the device one-handed in portrait, or vertical, mode, it feels much more comfortable and balanced than any other tablet I've tested. When you lay it on a flat surface in landscape, or horizontal, mode, the rounded edge creates a natural angle for typing, without a case or stand.

This clever design makes the Tablet S feel lighter than the iPad when you hold it vertically, because more of the weight is in your palm—even though the two tablets are almost exactly the same weight.

At 9.4 inches, the bright, vivid screen on the Tablet S is smaller than the iPad's 9.7 inch display or the 10.1-inch screen of Samsung's comparable Galaxy Tab model. But I found it plenty generous, and it didn't feel cramped. The Sony is about the same length as the iPad 2, but is narrower, and I found this proportion pleasing.

This clever design makes the Tablet S feel lighter than the iPad.

There are some trade-offs to this design. While it is beautifully balanced in vertical mode, it feels top-heavy in horizontal mode, especially because Sony forces you in that mode to hold it by the thin, lower edge. You can't rotate the screen in horizontal mode so the thicker edge is at the bottom. Performance was snappy, and the front and back cameras took acceptable still photos and videos.

Sony is planning a second, even more radical tablet for later this fall, called the Tablet P. It's a much smaller and lighter device that has no visible screen until you unfold it to reveal twin 5.5-inch displays that can either be used as one large screen or can have separate content in each. I have played briefly with this coming device, but haven't been able to test it.

Unlike the iPad 2, the Tablet S has an SD memory-card slot, which I used to move movies, photos, music and documents to the Tablet S from a Mac. It worked fine, though the plastic hinge for the little door that covers the slot sometimes got stuck.

While Sony, like Apple, has long been praised for hardware design, it has never been able to match Apple in software and services, except on its PlayStation game consoles. The company is hoping the Tablet S changes that perception.

The Tablet S starts with the same software disadvantages as its Android brethren. While Android has a healthy selection of over 250,000 third-party apps (versus 425,000 total for Apple's mobile devices), it has pathetically few tablet-optimized apps—estimated to be just a small fraction of the 100,000 tailored for the iPad.

But Sony has added some nice software features to the Tablet S. Some make navigation easier, but many aim to build on Sony's strengths as a media and gaming company. Unlike Apple, which takes a broader view of the tablet's potential, Sony sees its tablet as primarily an entertainment-consumption device.

For instance, Sony has added a small, customizable row of frequently used app icons at the upper left. At the upper right of the screen is a handsome, easy-to-use feature called Favorites, which highlight recently accessed or added songs, videos, pictures, books and Web bookmarks.

Sony also has tweaked the Android browser so it loads pages faster. In my tests, pages loaded slightly faster than on the iPad.

There is also a universal remote-control app that works with a built-in infrared transmitter to control TVs and other home-entertainment devices, even if they aren't made by Sony. In my tests, I easily configured it to control my Pioneer TV and my TiVo, though it was unable to mate with my Apple TV.

Sony also is bundling services for buying music, TV shows and movies, e-books and games to create a content ecosystem like Apple's. Unfortunately, these weren't available for me to test.

The music service won't be available until later this month, but it will be a subscription service with two monthly tiers, one for $3.99 and one for $9.99. The video service will be available with a very limited selection at launch, but the full service won't appear until next month. It allows you to rent videos starting at $2.99 each. The games service will come along later this year, and Sony couldn't provide details, except that it will offer PlayStation games meant for portable devices. The Tablet S will come with a trial membership to the music service and a free movie and e-book. It also comes preloaded with two simple games.

The Tablet S fell far short of the iPad 2 in my battery tests, where I play videos back to back with the network connection on and the screen brightness set at 75%. It died after 6 hours, 38 minutes, which is a whopping 3½ hours less than the iPad 2 lasted.

Still, Sony deserves credit for creating a novel design with real advantages and for building in some useful software. The Tablet S is worth considering when shopping for a tablet.

Star Wars. Origami in hyperspace.

Wow!  My favorite movie and my favorite Moleskine had just collaborate to launch a limited edition of Star Wars Moleskine.  I hope it's available in Singapore.

First Pac-Man and Peanuts, now Moleskine celebrates another global pop culture icon with a limited edition dedicated to Star Wars.

The inside pocket contains a reproduction of the original 1977 poster by the Brothers Hildebrandt. The cover images, in silver or bronze, are made using the debossing technique, with two different variants: the famous "jump into hyperspace" with the stretching stars, and the opening "title crawl", with 3D words floating in outer space. 

The video, a variation on the theme of the battle between good and evil recreated with origami, pens and notebooks, is a free interpretation by Alex Orlowski (director), Daniela Fuggetta (story), Lula Gomez (stop motion animation) and Gadi for Solo Studios (sound effects).


The special Moleskine Star Wars edition was created in collaboration with the Lucasfilm production company. Available in large or pocket size, with blank or ruled paper:

• Moleskine Store
• Moleskine US
• Moleskine Asia

Amazon unveils Kindle Fire tablet for $199

Amazon unveiled the Kindle Fire, an Android-powered tablet that acts more like a color e-reader on steroids and will retail for $199.

"We're building premium products at non-premium prices," said Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos during the presentation.

The Kindle Fire will be available on November 15, and is available for preorder now. Bloomberg earlier reported the $199 price point and details on the device.

The Kindle Fire marks Amazon's first foray into the tablet market, which has so far been dominated by Apple's iPad. But with its low price--most tablets retail for around $500--and the established Kindle brand, analysts believe Amazon's product could represent the first legitimate competitor in an area where many other high-end Android tablets have missed the mark.

"We believe that the launch of an Amazon tablet will significantly boost the tablet market and inject a much needed competitor to Apple's iPad," Adam Leach, an analyst at research firm Ovum, said ahead of the event.

The specifications, however, are lower than other comparable high-end tablets. While it has a dual-core processor, it lacks many of the other typical features found in a tablet, such as a camera, microphone, and 3G wireless access. The device is more intended to compete with Barnes & Noble's Nook Color, which is essentially a stripped down Android tablet.

The Kindle Fire will also use an older version of Android intended for smartphones, but Amazon added remade the user interface, giving it a completely different feel from rival tablets. It can also play games and can surf the Internet using its own custom Amazon Silk browser that uses a combination of cached content on the device and on the Web. The company claims it can predict your browsing habits and preload favorite websites for faster browsing.

Bezos said that most of the content is backed up in the cloud, and that the device features wireless synching. The company's Whispersync technology, which delivers digital books to the Kindle, wiill also work with movies and television shows.

Bloomberg reported that the Kindle Fire comes with a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, the company's premium service that offers free two-day shipping and streaming video. The service normally costs $79 a year.

Amazon has slowly been building up its online content, adding new shows and movies all the time. Amazon recently signed a new licensing deal with 20th Century Fox to bring in its library of shows and movies for streaming.

Amazon has also reportedly signed agreements with several publishers, including Conde Nast, Hearst and Meredith, to have digital versions of magazines ready at launch.

Amazon is attempting to go where other tablet makers have failed. The past few months have seen a number of companies stumble out of the gate with their supposed iPad-killer. Hewlett-Packard scrapped its WebOS hardware business after the lackluster sale of the TouchPad, only to revive interest by holding a fire sale at $99 a unit. Research in Motion flopped badly with its PlayBook and is similarly trying to spark sales through a number of discount programs with its retail partners. Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha acknowledged initials problems selling its Xoom tablet when it was priced higher than the iPad.

As an e-reader, the Kindle has been instrumental in driving sales of digital books for Amazon and bringing that category of device into the mainstream despite earlier efforts by Sony. The catalyst for its success has been its low-powered e-ink technology, which enables users to read the device from anywhere, as well as the ease in which a person can buy a digital book over the air.

Another smart move: Amazon's decision to create apps on other devices such as the iPad and Android phones, allowing people to read their books on any device, but still stick with the Kindle library.

Earlier today, Bezos unveiled a trio of new e-ink Kindle readers, ranging between $79 and $149.
