To announce the launch of the tablet  the CEO and chairman of Sony, Sir Howard Stringer,talked about the rumors that had been spreading around the globe about  the Sony S1 tablet and finally confirmed its launch at the end of this summer.
The news is official and comes from an ' interview published in the Nikkei , the Japanese business newspaper, in which the President of the Japanese giant (Sony) has revealed more details about what they want in the so called ''iPad Killer of 2011''. According to them the tablet will be presented in the next months and launched in the U.S. market by the end of the summer .  They have also confirmed that the tablet will have Honeycomb Android 3.0 , the version of the mobile operating system Google created expressly for the tablet .
The specs of this iPad Killer are supposed to be:

  • Processor dual core
  • Graphics Chip GeForce
  • Multi touch screen 9.4 inches
  • resolution 1280 × 800

Now we just have to wait and see if the ' S1 may or may not give a hard time to the iPad 2 created by Apple.Only after its launch can we decide that its an ''iPad Killer'' or not and if it is than Apple will certainly have to find a way to fight this killer.

The U.S. Government Aims On Social Networks (Facebook and Twitter) To Spread The Terror Alerts.

In a draft plan quoted by the Associated Press, there is a possibility of using social networking sites by the department of homeland  security i.e Facebook and Twitter  in the event of a terrorist attack to alert the people about the threat and tell them to take precautionary measures quickly.This is a very good idea as most of the people are all the time connected to either Facebook or Twitter or both.This shows that how important such sites can be in the hour of need.
