Microsoft launches new Surface tablets

 NEW YORK: Microsoft has introduced two new Surface tablet computers and several accessories as it tries to boost its tablet business as sales of traditional desktop and laptop computers decline. 
The Surface Pro 2, unveiled Monday at an event in New York, is targeted at professionals who want to full power of laptops in a tablet-style device. The kickstand built into the device is redesigned to make it easier to use on laps. In the past, it worked best on a flat surface such as a table.

Microsoft says the Pro 2 also offers a 75 per cent improvement in battery life over the previous model.

The other tablet is Surface 2. Unlike Surface Pro 2, which is powered by an Intel processor and can run all Windows applications and programs, Surface 2 uses Tegra 4, a processor made by Nvidia using the low-power chip design created by ARM Holdings. The price of Surface 2 will be $449 for the 32 GB version. Surface 2 will only run ARM-compatible applications.

Surface Pro 2 will cost $899 for the 64GB version. It will have 4GB RAM. The model with 256GB or 512GB internal storage will have 8GB RAM.

Microsoft will also sell a cover that will also act as a physical keyboard for Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2. This is similar to the cover offered with the earlier version of the tablet. However, unlike the older cover, the new one comes with a battery inside it, which will increase the battery life the Surface tablets.

The earlier versions of Surface failed to find takers. In the last quarter, Microsoft took an almost $1 billion hit on the account of unsold Surface units. The tablets have also led to strained relationship between Microsoft and its hardware partners like Asus and Acer, which see the Microsoft devices as a threat to their business.

Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 will be available from October 22 in select markets. For now Microsoft has not revealed when these two tablets will be available in India and at what price.                      READ MORE  >>Surface Pro 2 Launch|surface pro 2|Microsoft Surface tablet|Microsoft|nVidia

Apple expected to unveil cheaper iPhone to drive emerging market sales

(Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) is expected to introduce a cheaper version of the iPhone on Tuesday, bringing one of the industry's costliest smartphones within reach of the masses in poorer emerging markets.
The world's most valuable technology company, which many expect to unveil an iPhone 5C in several colors alongside the latest high-end iPhone 5S, is trying to beat back rivals like Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (005930.KS) and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd in markets like India and China, where it is fast losing ground.
Wall Street approves of the move to offer a more basic version of the device, although some investors warned initially it will dilute margins and potentially tarnish a brand that has been linked to premium users since its 2007 inception.
Now, they hope a bigger emerging-market presence can help reverse a 29 percent fall in the company's share price since it hit a record high of $702.10 a year ago. The selloff was fueled by fears of slowing growth and a perception that its ability to innovate and shake up industries was dwindling.
Industry observers said Apple has not turned out a category-defining electronic device since late co-founder Steve Jobs made a bet on the iPad in 2010. Speculation revolves around a smartwatch - along the same lines as Samsung's recently introduced Galaxy Gear - or some sort of TV product.
But analysts said neither is likely to generate numbers anywhere in the neighborhood of the iPhone, which supplies half of Apple's revenue and is its highest-margin product.
"Apple needs to demonstrate in the coming months that it has other product lines which can start to make up for slowing growth and falling margins in (the) iPhone and iPad," said Jan Dawson, chief telecoms analyst for Ovum Research.
"That's a tall order."
More immediately, Apple will get a boost if it succeeds in enlisting China Mobile Ltd (0941.HK) in its iPhone network. For the first time, the company will host media in Beijing just nine hours after its Cupertino, California launch, spurring speculation it will announce a distribution agreement with the Chinese carrier.
The world's largest wireless carrier serves more than 740 million users and is perceived as more amenable to carrying the popular smartphone now that profit and subscriber growth are decelerating. Net income grew just 2 percent in the April to June quarter.
And smaller rivals China Unicom (0762.HK) and China Telecom (0728.HK) - both of which already sell Apple's gadget - are making headway against the market leader.
Separately, Japan's largest carrier, NTT DoCoMo, is expected to begin selling it as soon as this fall, other sources said.
One key question is whether Apple will sell its cheaper iPhone 5C also in more mature markets like Europe or the United States - heightening the risk that it will begin cannibalizing sales of the flagship 5S.
Globally, the market for cheaper smartphones priced around $300 - the iPhone 5 now starts at $649 without a contract - could grow to 900 million units by 2015, Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi estimated. Assuming Apple manages to capture just 10 percent of that market, the 5C could bring in revenue of $30 billion annually.
"The only real potential to surprise investors (on Tuesday) seems to be in the scope and velocity of a new China strategy, and any new features within iOS 7 and fingerprint scanner technology," said Barclays analyst Ben Reitzes.
"Since it missed the trend toward larger screened phones and seems poised for only incremental iPad improvements, we believe that Apple needs to prove it can innovate in software and services."
