...Pupils: Tablet PC as a Replacement for Mathematics Textbook Ms. Irene Mae L. Manabat/ Dr. Juanita M. Cruz/ Marlon I. Tayag Systems Plus College Foundation, Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines irenemaemanabat@gmail.com/ juanitacruz2004@yahoo.com/ lonskee2000@yahoo.com Abstract Tablet PC for mathematics was introduced this school year to the SPCF Grade VII pupils. This study assessed their perception on its use as a replacement for the mathematics textbook. Forty-eight pupils answered a 25-item Likert-scaled questionnaire adapted from several related researches. Eight factors were generated namely: Time-saving (loading=0.66, mean= 5.16); Instructional tool for learning mathematics (loading= 0.61, mean= 5.04); Interactive technological tool (loading= 0.65, mean= 5.53); More interesting way to learn mathematics (loading= 0.76, mean= 5.10); Minimal school bag load (loading= 0.73, mean= 5.85); Extended tablet usage (loading= 0.60 mean= 5.08); Visual learning of mathematics (loading= 0.72,mean= 5.95); Usability in higher mathematics (loading= 0.89, mean= 5.5). Cronbach alpha= 0.75 and 73% dependent variable variance is explained by independent variable variance. T-test in the final grades revealed no significant difference between all sections and between 2 best sections that used and did not use the tablet. Significance was indicated between 2 regular sections that used and did not use the tablet. Overall mean (5.30) indicated a moderately agreeable response that the tablet is a viable...

Over the past several years, the growth in mobile technology and development of new advanced mobile devices such as smart phones and media tablets has increased the potential revenue of some businesses that have embraced the new technology and taken stops to secure a niche in the market. “Earlier this year, choosing the best tablet computer was as simple as knowing one model name: iPad.” (Consumer Reports). As of late August 2011, Apple’s computer tablet iPad and iPad2 represent over 61% of the market for tablets, leaving other companies such as Hewlett Packard laggin behind (Difference Engine: Reality Dawns). Simply put, it doesn’t matter if it’s the iPhone, the Macbook, or most recently iPad, everyone wants one, and if they can’t have it they want something as close to it as possible. It is important then, to explore what the iPad has that makes it the staunch front runner in the tablet industry. Not only has Steve Jobs of Apple Computers offered the world innovative and user friendly technological creations, with the release of each product, Apple’s success has forced its competitors to raise their stakes as well. Innovative, user-friendly, and in-genius are but a few of the many words that have become synonymous with Apple products. One of...

Apple released the iPad to the public in April 3, 2010 and functions like a touch screen computer with access to web browsing, email, photos, videos, music, games, e-books, and much more (Apple, 2010). This high definition portable pc has revolutionized the way people define computers and innovatively captured the market share. Future Trends The Apple iPad has without a doubt made a tremendous splash in the ocean of portable computing. In terms of trend setting, Apple seems to be the leader when it comes to creating and producing a product, while others stumble over to mimic. This is supported by the idea that those organizations that can identify and effectively deal with the key trends before its competitors do, is much more likely to win and retain the competitive advantage (Mullins & Walker Jr., 2010). Some of these trends that are project to impact the industry in the next five years are decreased PC sales especially in the area of netbooks; increase need for productivity applications used for tablet devices, improved gaming applications, mobile community platform, improved mobile office environment, digital control terminal for...

...Consumer Electronics Industry: Tablets Over the next Decade 1. Introduction A tablet PC is a wireless, portable personal computer with a touch screen interface. The tablet form factor is typically smaller than a notebook computer but larger than a Smartphone. Bigger and Brainier than a smart phone but smarter and sleeker than a net book, tablet computers have revolutionized the way in which modern day consumers experience and fulfill their computing and communication needs. The credit of pioneering this field and creating the market segment goes to Apple with launch of i-pad in 2010 and once again proving its capability of a leading innovation driven firm which redefines the course of overall computer industry as a whole from time to time. Since then the tablet sales have seen unexpected momentum in terms of growth in sales figures worldwide with apple emerging as the largest supplier till date as compared to all others. However, Android based tablet PCs are expected to take over Apple’s share in the coming years. The world has seen aggressive competition among tablet PC manufacturers after the launch of iPad from Apple. Within five months of the release of iPad, Samsung launched its Samsung Galaxy Tab to compete with Apple. Since then, the tablet PC manufacturing industry has seen the emergence of numerous players. Most tablet manufacturers such as Asus, HP, and Lenovo among others released their models of tablet PCs in quick successions, but none...

...With the seismic shift in recent years to the way pharmaceutical organizations approach sales and marketing, physicians are demanding alternate methods of interaction with sales representatives. All the while, patients are relentlessly searching for disease state and treatment information that can provide them with an understanding of their condition and even help them cope. The evolution of mobile technology and its integration into a brand’s sales and marketing strategy can be the key to building value-based relationships with physicians and patients that last. Pharmaceutical manufacturers face increasing pressure to refine their strategic and operational approach to sales and marketing. In the primary care setting, physicians typically give a pharmaceutical sales representative less than thirty seconds per interaction, most of which is time spent signing for samples. In specialty therapeutic areas, sales reps receive much longer periods of time but still struggle with their ability to differentiate themselves through clear, concise, and interactive messaging delivered to each physician, while also dealing with the challenge of increasing their effectiveness. This need is motivated by a quickly changing industry landscape driven by healthcare reform (HCR) and an expanding web of strict government regulations. This includes gift ban laws, aggregate spend compliance/sunshine laws on both the state and the federal level, and diminishing physician availability because of...

...Unit 1: Paradigm Shift Tablets The technology I chose to write about is fairly new. While it has not been around as long as maybe Televisions or Radios, it has definitely made a huge impact on our lives today. I chose to write about Tablets and how they started and where they could go in the future. The first Tablet was not in fact created by Apple. Apple just took the idea and vastly improved upon it. The first tablet was actually introduced in 1987 with the Linus Write-Top which was essentially a tablet that had handwriting recognition software. Basically you could hand-write on it and the tablet could read it. The first tablet computer was introduced in 1989 by Jeff Hawkins, the founder of Palm Computing. It was called the GridPad, and it ran MS-DOS though the idea was mostly ignored by the general public. A few other attempts were made through the years. Apple branched off and came out with the Newton MessagePad in 1993 which wasn’t really aimed at replacing the home PC, but more of a Personal Digital Assistant or PDA. Then in 2000, Microsoft released its first tablet computer, and later in 2002 the Microsoft XP tablet was released which ran its own version of Windows XP. Then the market for tablets really skyrocketed when Apple released the iPad in 2010. It had a touchscreen which was very popular on the iPad Touch and the iPhone. This created a huge market for tablets which got all sorts of companies trying to release their own. For example the Samsung Galaxy Tab...

...offerings of each firm. 3. What is the significance of mobile apps, app stores and closed vs. open app standards to the success or failure of mobile computing? 4. Which company will prevail in this epic struggle? Justify your answer. In this triangular fight, at one point or another, each firm has allied with one of their two major foes to team up on the third. Two of the firms – google and Apple – are determined to prevent Microsoft from expanding its dominance beyond the PC desktop and onto the new mobile platform. But when it comes to mobile phones and apps, Google and Apple are enemies: both want to dominate the mobile market. Apple and Microsoft are determined to prevent Google from extending beyond its dominance in search and advertising. So Apple and Microsoft are friends. But when it comes to the mobile marketplace for devices and apps, Apple and Microsoft are enemies. Google and Microsoft are just plain enemies in a variety of battles. Google is trying to weaken Microsoft’s PC software dominance and Microsoft is trying to break into the search advertising market with Bing. http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/30/google-takes-on-microsoft-for-productivity-dominance-of-apples-mobile-platform/ http://www.pcworld.com/article/2026541/why-microsoft-must-become-apple-and-google.html http://www.ifb.unisg.ch/~/media/Internet/Content/Dateien/InstituteUndCenters/IfB/Lehre/Lehrbuecher%20und%20Fallstudien/Case%20Studies/The%20Battle_310-245-1S_Inspection%20Copy_C_en.ashx ...

...Tablet computer iPad (1st generation), a tablet computer A tablet computer, or simply tablet, is a mobile computer, larger than a mobile phone or personal digital assistant, integrated into a flat touch screen and primarily operated by touching the screen and instead of using a physical keyboard it often uses an onscreen virtual keyboard. A tablet computer may be connected to a keyboard with a wireless link or a USB port. Convertible notebook computers have an integrated keyboard that can be hidden by a swivel joint or slide joint, exposing only the screen for touch operation. Hybrids have a detachable keyboard so that the touch screen can be used as a stand-alone tablet. Booklets include dual-touchscreens, and can be used as a notebook by displaying a virtual keyboard in one of them. An early information tablet concept, named the Dynabook, was described by a Xerox scientist Alan C Kay, in his Aug 1972 paper: A Personal Computer for children of all Ages, the paper proposes a touch screen as a possible alternative means of input for the device. The first commercial portable electronic tablets appeared at the end of the 20th century. In 2010, Apple Inc. released the iPad which became the first mobile computer tablet to achieve worldwide commercial success. The iPad used technology similar to Apple's iPhone. Other manufacturers have produced tablets of their own including Samsung, HTC, Motorola, RIM, Sony, Amazon, HP, Microsoft, Google, Asus, Toshiba, and Archos. Tablets use a variety...
