Apple iPad 5 rumor rollup: lighter and thinner or October release

Apple iPad 5 rumor rollup: lighter and thinner or October release

Tencent digital hearing (Compiled: Ren Yanmei) After a large number of iPhone 5S, 5C exposure, we have lamented: Apple’s Cook era, confidential mechanism really is bad. Regardless of whether these two new iPhone satisfy you, they are basically the shape and new features have been identified, and this year worth looking forward to Apple’s new, it seems that only iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 a.

not much variation in Apple introduced the iPad 4, its 9.7 inches large flat-panel business suffered a decline, the main pressure from the iPad mini as well as its own Android tablet products. So, Apple needs to launch this year a new design is more sincere iPad, to restore the decline. Below, is currently on the iPad 5 related rumors and leaked information.

body design: ultra-narrow frame is thinner and lighter

To be sure, Apple iPad 5 will use the slimmer body design, thereby reducing start from the iPad 3 Retina screen caused by the extra weight. In addition, according to the latest leaked real machine casing and screen components, you can see, iPad 5 iPad mini will adopt a similar ultra-narrow frame design, thereby reducing body size, which is 9.7 inches iPad since its release, the biggest change in appearance .

other respects, iPad 5 would continue to use metal body, will have a black and white body, these aspects are consistent with the previous models. In addition, the patent had previously leaked, showing Apple is considering the iPad Smart Cover to integrate intelligent induction coil, enabling wireless charging function, but there is no associated physical picture leaked, and can not explain this accessory will be available with the iPad 5 . Of course, be sure that the new design allows iPad 5 can no longer use the Smart Cover or Case after case, there will certainly be released simultaneously matching accessories.

In addition, the launch of iOS 7 system, Apple also plans to launch a wireless controller related accessories to achieve a better gaming operation results. As to whether the iPad 5 also introduced, only waiting time given the answer.

features and specifications: a new processor webcam or upgrade

To be sure, iPad 5 will be equipped with new processor, there may be A7X, but considering the release date may be very close with the iPhone 5S, so do not rule out the use of an improvement over Apple A6X processor. In addition, there are also news that, iPad 5 will be equipped with better 8-megapixel rear camera, in order to achieve a better result. As for the screen, because the relationship between software developers, Apple should still maintain the 2048×1536 resolution, the short term will not be upgraded. However, the use of the latest GF2 fit body, so the body will be significantly reduced thickness, display better.

an Apple patent application in March of this year, said the future of the iPhone and iPad products will have a new message alerts and tactile feedback function, can be used in games and other operations, but it does not determine whether there will be iPad 5 on.

Date: will be released in October or

Clearly, the sudden appearance of iPad 4 last year, breaking the Apple iPad product launch a year, the rhythm, it also allows iPad 5 release date is more difficult to predict. Previously, there was news that, iPad 5 will be iPhone 5S, 5C together in the year September 10 release, but the latest news is that Apple does not also release iPhone and iPad products, so iPad 5 October alone will probably held a press conference, while there’s perhaps iPad mini 2.

Price: still $ 499

About iPad 5 price, part of the media and analysts believe will continue the series of pricing strategy, WIFI version will have 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB four additional capacity versions, prices were $ 499 (about 3053 yuan), $ 599 (about 3665 yuan), $ 699 (about 4277 yuan) and $ 799 (about 4889 yuan). However, there are different voices, such as the International Business Times that, iPad 5 will be priced $ 100 lower than in the past. Whether we can come true, we need to wait for Apple announced.

A Better Way to Bring Your Desktop to Your iPad - New York Times (blog)

By David Pogue

90 Seconds With Pogue: Parallels Access: The Times’s David Pogue reviews at Parallels Access, an iPad app that allows a user to remotely control a desktop or laptop computer.

You don’t have to be a technophile to know a few things about compatibility. VHS tapes don’t play on a laptop, iPhone apps don’t run on your microwave and a CD won’t play in a toaster.

Most people probably assume you also can’t use Mac or Windows programs on an iPad. The iPad, the world’s most popular tablet, runs its own flavor of software.

Which is a shame, really. All kinds of programs would be useful to have on your lovely, lightweight tablet: Quicken. Photoshop. iTunes. The full-blown Word, Excel, PowerPoint. AutoCAD.

I’m pleased to report that such a thing is possible, thanks to a remarkable new app, Parallels Access. Parallels, the company, has a good deal of experience running incompatible programs on popular computers; its best-known product lets you run Windows on a Mac.

Access is not some miracle adapter that runs Mac and PC programs on the iPad itself. Instead, it’s a glorified porthole into the screen of a real Mac or PC back at your home or office. You see everything on your distant computer remotely; you can even click, type and drag in the programs there, even listen to audio and watch videos. The iPad becomes like a detached touch screen for a Mac or PC that’s thousands of miles away.

It’s not just about running desktop software, either. This setup also means you can access the far greater storage and horsepower of your computer. And you can work with files you left behind. The one catch: It requires an Internet connection. Access works over slower connections – like 3G cellular – but barely. You may encounter severe lags and blotchiness.

To make this come to pass, you set up Access on both ends. You install one app on your iPad, and another on your Mac or PC (Mac OS X 10.8 or later, Windows 7 or later). You also create a free account at Parallels.com.

From now on, whenever you want to operate your Mac or PC by remote control, you open the Access app on the iPad. You tap the picture of the computer whose brain you want to enter; there’s nothing to stop you from setting up two, or 12, or hundreds of Macs and Windows machines to listen for the iPad’s call.

When you first connect, you see a launcher: an iPad-style screen full of icons. In this case, they represent your Mac or PC programs. Tap one to open it. This launchpad starts out showing only the icons of your most frequently used Mac or Windows programs, but you can tap a “+” button to add other icons.

Parallels Access is not the first product that lets you access your Mac or PC remotely. There are many iPad apps that do that, bearing names like VNC Viewer and Real VNC. They cost $ 10 or $ 20. Corporate tech workers adore them. From wherever they happen to be, they can see, operate and troubleshoot the computer back at headquarters from the screen of a single iPad, without having to put on pants and drive to the office.

But Parallels Access is superior, for many reasons.

First, VNC apps are extremely technical to set up. Here’s an excerpt from the dozens of setup steps for Real VNC, one of the best reviewed apps: “By default, VNC Server listens on port 5900. You can listen on a new port, providing no other service or program is doing so. Note you will have to specify the new port when connecting, and you may need to reconfigure firewalls and routers. “OK then!

Parallels Access requires no fiddling with routers, firewalls or port numbers. You fill in your Parallels name and password, and boom: the connection is made, with 256-bit AES encryption (translation: “very securely”).

Second, VNC apps display the entire computer’s screen on the iPad. Icons, toolbars and buttons wind up about the size of subatomic particles.

Access, on the other hand, “appifies” the Mac or Windows program; the document you’re editing fills the screen. All the iPad touch-screen gestures work to operate the remote program, too – drag with one finger to scroll, for example. Tap to “click the mouse.” Tap with two fingers to “right-click.” Pinch or spread two fingers to zoom out or in. No matter what the Mac or PC program is, it suddenly behaves as if it is an iPad app.

Access is filled with additional touches that VNC-type programs generally lack, which further adapt mouse-and-keyboard software to a touch screen.

IPad users can let your Mac or PC software - Netease

on the iPad provides a virtualized Windows or Mac operating system environment, allowing users to take advantage of cloud services through a personal account will Unicom iPad and your computer, and then the iPad virtual environment to run their own software on the computer.

IMG_0239

As the mobile Internet era, people have gradually part of their life on a mobile terminal, especially the iPad such devices, screen size, computing power, respectively, to allow it to carry a lot of rate of user needs . But in fact we will find that people’s behavior on the iPad to main content consumption, namely watching videos, reading e-mail, playing games, listening to music, etc., and working class needs and some heavy functions are not well satisfied. The reason is:

1. despite substantial growth in performance of mobile devices, but for Photoshop, game production engines require a higher capacity for hardware applications, mobile devices can not provide good support;

2. Compared with the computer, iPad is still relatively limited storage space, you can not install too many large applications;

3. many desktop applications software developers did not timely provide the corresponding iPad application, or whose experience is very bad, and the same types of products on the iPad may change the user’s operating habits, or the file format does not exist compatibility issues, so that the user would prefer to go to the computer to complete these things.

but mobility is the general trend, especially in the mobile device user time accompanied by increased sharply in the case, how they can seamlessly use computer applications and files is a must to solve the problem. For example, I write articles to write on the computer or create an image of the half half-done needs to go out, if they can carry iPad continue to complete my work, it will be a very wonderful thing.

virtualization and cloud service providers Parallels think of a solution to the problem: Many people have used Parallels, Parallels Desktop products, it provides the user with a virtual environment, so that PC users can use different operating systems applications. Today, Parallels incorporate similar ideas brought to the iPad up – on the iPad provides a virtualized Windows or Mac operating system environment, the use of cloud services through a personal account will allow users to iPad and your computer China Unicom, then the iPad virtual environment to run their own software on the computer.

Parallels approach has two noteworthy: First, the use of cloud services features, the actual computing tasks on the computer to complete, to ensure that the application works on the iPad smooth running; while Parallels developers considered more important point is, do not forget to touch iPad interacts mainly based on the characteristics of the user to re-define a set of computer software on the iPad interaction rules.

Parallels

Now let us look at how to accomplish this solution is right. First, the user needs to install on the iPad app called Parallels Access, after registration, Parallels Access will send you an e-mail, the message provides Parallels Access desktop version download link, install and start landing account, you Parallels Acces can be set, for example, when connected to a computer using the iPad if you need to enter your computer account password, and whether the remote operation is completed immediately lock the computer.

7.24.58

is set up, you can open the iPad Parallels Access to connect to the computer, an iPad can connect different computer equipment, when the connection is completed, your iPad will be the default display some applications on the computer, I using a Mac, so the show is Lunchpad interface. Meanwhile, in the top right, you can also click on add some not displayed on the iPad computer applications. And click on the lower right corner will show the current computer running foreground application.

IMG_0253

IMG_0249

open the application, Parallels Access will pop up a tutorial that tells you the iPad corresponding computer interaction, such as single-finger click is equivalent to clicking the left mouse button, hands that is equivalent to clicking the right mouse button click, single finger tap and stay equal amplification. Next, you’ll be able to operate on any computer in the iPad software on it. I tried Photoshop, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, XCode and other procedures, found that the experience is quite smooth, and any operation made on the iPad can be timely response on the computer. However, because I use the iPad mini, so some of the buttons too small, not too easy to touch up.

IMG_0242

In addition to operating within the application outside, Parallels Access also a virtual machine interface of the PC made some improvements, for example, you can directly on the iPad screen is displayed below shift, ctrl, delete a series of shortcuts cases, while It also put this design brought to a virtual keyboard to enter them. And as long as you click on the Home Construction return iPad Desktop, Parallels Access will automatically disconnect the link with the computer and let the computer back to the lock screen.

IMG_0246

Currently, Parallels Access version supports more than iPad 2 iOS 6 devices, the corresponding need more than Windows 7 PC or Mac OS X10.7 after MAc devices. Also, if you have installed on your computer Parallels Desktop, then Parallels Access also lets you directly on the iPad resides within Parallels Desktop applications such as Parallels Desktop for Mac, Windows version of Office programs.

Overall, Parallels Access is a very powerful product, as long as you do not turn off your computer, you can pass the iPad Parallels Access anytime, anywhere remotely using a computer application, or open a file on the computer to show others. It is able to work all our lives and bring great convenience to help computer software developers will extend its services to the mobile terminal, also challenged in another way today’s personal cloud storage service.

8-bit canvas: Pixaki makes pixel art easy with an iPad - The Verge

Pixel art requires a certain kind of skill: you not only have to be skilled as an artist, but also patient enough to create an image block-by-block. It’s time-consuming work, which makes it less appealing to the casual artist. Why put in so much time when you can just grab a pencil and sketch? iPad app Pixaki attempts to make pushing pixels a much more casual experience with touchscreen controls and familiar hand gestures. It’s not quite as pick-up-and-play as something like Paper – and it won’t turn you into Paul Robertson overnight – but it’s a great way to kick back on the couch and create the 8-bit scene of your dreams.

Using a touchscreen for something as precise as pixel art might seem problematic, but it’s actually Pixaki’s biggest strength. Pinching and pulling to zoom in and out is a great way to interact with your image, especially if you’re working on a bigger scene, and the familiar two-finger drag lets you scroll around easily. The zoom, in particular, is key – you can blow up individual pixels into huge blocks, making it easy to be as precise as you need to. This is especially important for adding fine details.

For more advanced users there are also layers that let you create cool effects, but the basic functions of Pixaki are easy enough to grasp for anyone. These features won’t really cut down on how long it takes to create a detailed image, but it does make the process relatively painless. There are a few small niggles, including an overly aggressive undo function, but they don’t take away from the overall experience.

“Everything I saw on the App Store was really substandard.”

Pixaki also provides the option to do some post-processing outside of the app. Not only can you export a file as a PNG, but also as a Photoshop Document. This lets artists kick back while creating the core of their piece, before settling down at a desk to futz with all of the fine details. According to creator Luke Rogers, who built the app in his spare time over the course of two years, Pixaki was developed simply because of the dearth of options on the iPad. “Everything I saw on the App Store was really substandard,” he says, “so I set about building something myself.” The app was inspired by Apple’s iLife series, which features software that’s simple to use but generally offers a good amount of depth. And Rogers has plans to add more features in the future as well, including support for animation.

This flexibility makes Pixaki approachable and useful for just about anyone. It’s simple enough that you can doodle with it, but it also has depth and flexibility for more professional projects, even if it’s only the starting place. In my case, I was able to create surprisingly satisfying pieces without spending much time learning the tools. Rogers, meanwhile, is not only selling the app, but he’s also planning to make use of it for his next project. “The plan now is to make a new game using Pixaki to create all the art assets,” he explains. “I’m hoping that this will prove Pixaki as a professional tool, and I’ll update the app as I go to add the features that I need.”

You can grab Pixaki from Apple’s store now for $ 6.99.

Parallels Access Turns Windows and OS X Apps Into iPad-Friendly Versions - TIME

Access aims to let you use Windows and OS X programs on your tablet, blurring the lines between tablet operating systems and desktop operating systems.

The first time I heard of a software company called Parallels was back in 2006, when it released software to let you run Windows on what was then a newfangled kind of computer called an Intel Mac. The notion that you could do that without crippling compromises was kind of mind-blowing at the time. And Parallels Desktop only got better and better, especially after it introduced a feature called Coherence, which made Windows apps look as if they were running right inside Apple’s OS X.

I was reminded of just how far Parallels Desktop blew my socks off my feet when I tried Parallels Access, a new iPad app / service the company is launching today. Access aims to let you use Windows and OS X programs on your tablet – and not just make it possible, but to blur the lines between tablet operating systems and desktop operating systems. It feels like it’s still an idea in progress, and it’s working under constraints Parallels Desktop didn’t face. But in certain respects, it’s already amazing. The company provided me with a pre-release version to try.

Unlike a Mac, an iPad can’t run virtualized copies of operating systems designed for other computing devices. So Parallels Access is remote-control software: The applications you use are really running on a Windows PC or Mac, provided by you and located somewhere else on a local network or the Internet. That means that to use it, you’ll need to leave a computer plugged in, powered up and connected to the Net. It can’t be used for other tasks when your tablet is connected. (You can blank that machine’s screen to prevent snooping by anyone who happens to be nearby.)

It’s not a new concept – other companies already offer remote-control apps for the iPad, including Parallels’ own Parallels Mobile, an add-on for Parallels Desktop. But Parallels Access doesn’t just give you a window onto a distant computer’s desktop. It reworks the Windows and OS X experiences to make them more iPad-like, a process which is reminiscent, in overarching concept, to what Coherence does to Windows programs running on a Mac.

Parallels Access

Parallels

Rather than making you use Windows and OS X features like the Start menu, Start screen, Taskbar and Dock, Access provides its own, iPad-friendly alternatives. You start programs with the App Launcher, which looks a lot like the iPad’s own home screen. It automatically populates with some of the major apps on your computer; you can add or remove programs as you please. There’s also an App Switcher, which shows thumbnails of running programs, letting you bop between them with a tap.

Once you’re inside a Windows or OS X application, Access runs it in full-screen mode by default so it looks more like an iPad app. You can tap in a sloppy, imprecise manner and still do what you intend, which is crucial, since computer apps usually have icons and menu items that are on the dinky side if you’re trying to trigger them with a fingertip. (If you’ve got Office 13, Access automatically runs it in the suite’s slightly lighter, airier touch mode.) Parallels’ software also converts the type of highlighting used in computer programs into iPad-style highlighting, with pin-like markers you can drag with your finger, and supports cut-and-paste between computer apps and iPad apps.

Access doesn’t require Parallels Desktop. But if you’re running version 8 of that program to virtualize Windows within OS X, you can use Mac apps, Windows apps and iPad ones, all on one machine, and without feeling like you’re juggling three operating systems.

In terms of raw cleverness and technical derring-do, Parallels Access is way, way off the charts – just as Parallels Desktop was back when it was new. I used it with OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 8 to run the full-blown versions of Chrome, Firefox, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and other programs. Most of what I tried to do worked, and Access’s tweaks helped.

But I have some quibbles:

  • Access’s display was slightly on the grainy side when I tried it on my current-model iPad with a Retina screen – not an eyesore by any means, but not gorgeous. Presumably that’s an artifact of resizing the computer apps for the iPad’s resolution.
  • Even with Access’s adjustments, tiny toolbars and drop-down menus still aren’t that much fun to use on a tablet. If you aren’t using an external iPad keyboard, input is also an issue: Parallels’ on-screen keyboard gives you useful keys such as Ctrl and Command, but most computer software was never designed to gracefully share the screen with a keyboard.
  • Access makes a valiant effort to let you perform a number of tasks originally designed for use with a mouse or touchpad, such as resizing graphics in Word and selecting parts of images and painting in Photoshop. It does so in part by magnifying the space under your finger so it’s easier to see what you’re doing. In some instances this works fine – selecting multiple cells in Excel, for instance, is a cinch. But I struggled to make some gestures work in Word. And in Photoshop, some worked, but in a way that was too cumbersome and imprecise to be useful.
  • When I had a reasonably zippy Internet connection on my iPad, over Wi-Fi or LTE, Access made OS X and Windows programs pleasant to use – even for tasks such as typing into Word – though they weren’t as responsive as real iPad apps. In a few sessions however, Access lagged more significantly and / or told me that I was suffering from poor connectivity.
  • Occasionally, things just behave oddly. In web browsers, I found that items sometimes selected themselves on the page without me having done anything.

Using Parallels Access got me thinking about the scenarios in which someone might prefer to use computer apps on an iPad rather than software designed with Apple’s tablet in mind. I’m weird: I use an iPad as my primary computer, and have pretty much figured out how to do everything I need to do on a regular basis, with real iPad apps. I rarely pine for Windows or OS X.

Still, there are things you just can’t do with iPad apps, or probably don’t want to do. I recently undertook a web-development project that involved running a web server, MySQL database and WordPress, along with a utility that let me perform search-and-replace tasks across multiple files at once. That I did on a MacBook Air. But I could have used Parallels Access to do at least part of the job with my iPad.

Parallels Access might also be useful to get at business applications, intranets and other corporate stuff that isn’t otherwise iPad-friendly. (Assuming, that is, that your company’s firewall lets Access do its thing – TIME’s network, alas, got in my way.)

Overall, I think Parallels Access will be most appealing as an option for folks who want to perform occasional Windows and / or Mac tasks on an iPad in a pinch rather than as a fundamental part of how they get work done. If you envision yourself running full-strength Office 2013 or other Windows-only apps all day long, what you really want is a Windows tablet. Another alternative: Try CloudOn or OnLive Desktop, which let you use Office on an iPad for free, without requiring you to supply your own computer.

And if you want to use Mac software on a tablet without any gotchas whatsoever? Well, sorry. You can’t do that.

Parallels is selling Access as a service, not an application. It’s priced at $ 80 a year for each computer you want to connect to from your iPad. The Windows version, however, is debuting as a free beta, and the OS X version offers a 14-day free trial. As usual, the best way to determine whether it’s for you is to give it a spin. Which, if this idea appeals to you at all, you should do.

Parallels Access Turns Windows and OS X Apps Into iPad-Friendly Versions - TIME

Access aims to let you use Windows and OS X programs on your tablet, blurring the lines between tablet operating systems and desktop operating systems.

The first time I heard of a software company called Parallels was back in 2006, when it released software to let you run Windows on what was then a newfangled kind of computer called an Intel Mac. The notion that you could do that without crippling compromises was kind of mind-blowing at the time. And Parallels Desktop only got better and better, especially after it introduced a feature called Coherence, which made Windows apps look as if they were running right inside Apple’s OS X.

I was reminded of just how far Parallels Desktop blew my socks off my feet when I tried Parallels Access, a new iPad app / service the company is launching today. Access aims to let you use Windows and OS X programs on your tablet – and not just make it possible, but to blur the lines between tablet operating systems and desktop operating systems. It feels like it’s still an idea in progress, and it’s working under constraints Parallels Desktop didn’t face. But in certain respects, it’s already amazing. The company provided me with a pre-release version to try.

Unlike a Mac, an iPad can’t run virtualized copies of operating systems designed for other computing devices. So Parallels Access is remote-control software: The applications you use are really running on a Windows PC or Mac, provided by you and located somewhere else on a local network or the Internet. That means that to use it, you’ll need to leave a computer plugged in, powered up and connected to the Net. It can’t be used for other tasks when your tablet is connected. (You can blank that machine’s screen to prevent snooping by anyone who happens to be nearby.)

It’s not a new concept – other companies already offer remote-control apps for the iPad, including Parallels’ own Parallels Mobile, an add-on for Parallels Desktop. But Parallels Access doesn’t just give you a window onto a distant computer’s desktop. It reworks the Windows and OS X experiences to make them more iPad-like, a process which is reminiscent, in overarching concept, to what Coherence does to Windows programs running on a Mac.

Rather than making you use Windows and OS X features like the Start menu, Start screen, Taskbar and Dock, Access provides its own, iPad-friendly alternatives. You start programs with the App Launcher, which looks a lot like the iPad’s own home screen. It automatically populates with some of the major apps on your computer; you can add or remove programs as you please. There’s also an App Switcher, which shows thumbnails of running programs, letting you bop between them with a tap.

Once you’re inside a Windows or OS X application, Access runs it in full-screen mode by default so it looks more like an iPad app. You can tap in a sloppy, imprecise manner and still do what you intend, which is crucial, since computer apps usually have icons and menu items that are on the dinky side if you’re trying to trigger them with a fingertip. (If you’ve got Office 13, Access automatically runs it in the suite’s slightly lighter, airier touch mode.) Parallels’ software also converts the type of highlighting used in computer programs into iPad-style highlighting, with pin-like markers you can drag with your finger, and supports cut-and-paste between computer apps and iPad apps.

Access doesn’t require Parallels Desktop. But if you’re running version 8 of that program to virtualize Windows within OS X, you can use Mac apps, Windows apps and iPad ones, all on one machine, and without feeling like you’re juggling three operating systems.

In terms of raw cleverness and technical derring-do, Parallels Access is way, way off the charts – just as Parallels Desktop was back when it was new. I used it with OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 8 to run the full-blown versions of Chrome, Firefox, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and other programs. Most of what I tried to do worked, and Access’s tweaks helped.

But I have some quibbles:

  • Access’s display was slightly on the grainy side when I tried it on my current-model iPad with a Retina screen – not an eyesore by any means, but not gorgeous. Presumably that’s an artifact of resizing the computer apps for the iPad’s resolution.
  • Even with Access’s adjustments, tiny toolbars and drop-down menus still aren’t that much fun to use on a tablet. If you aren’t using an external iPad keyboard, input is also an issue: Parallels’ on-screen keyboard gives you useful keys such as Ctrl and Command, but most computer software was never designed to gracefully share the screen with a keyboard.
  • Access makes a valiant effort to let you perform a number of tasks originally designed for use with a mouse or touchpad, such as resizing graphics in Word and selecting parts of images and painting in Photoshop. It does so in part by magnifying the space under your finger so it’s easier to see what you’re doing. In some instances this works fine – selecting multiple cells in Excel, for instance, is a cinch. But I struggled to make some gestures work in Word. And in Photoshop, some worked, but in a way that was too cumbersome and imprecise to be useful.
  • When I had a reasonably zippy Internet connection on my iPad, over Wi-Fi or LTE, Access made OS X and Windows programs pleasant to use – even for tasks such as typing into Word – though they weren’t as responsive as real iPad apps. In a few sessions however, Access lagged more significantly and / or told me that I was suffering from poor connectivity.
  • Occasionally, things just behave oddly. In web browsers, I found that items sometimes selected themselves on the page without me having done anything.

Using Parallels Access got me thinking about the scenarios in which someone might prefer to use computer apps on an iPad rather than software designed with Apple’s tablet in mind. I’m weird: I use an iPad as my primary computer, and have pretty much figured out how to do everything I need to do on a regular basis, with real iPad apps. I rarely pine for Windows or OS X.

Still, there are things you just can’t do with iPad apps, or probably don’t want to do. I recently undertook a web-development project that involved running a web server, MySQL database and WordPress, along with a utility that let me perform search-and-replace tasks across multiple files at once. That I did on a MacBook Air. But I could have used Parallels Access to do at least part of the job with my iPad.

Apple iPad mini 2 former employees back shell explosion: basically no change - Wei Feng network

following is the text of the article:

looks Sonny Dickson hands more than about a variety of heavy information next iPhone, iPad also mention. Wei Feng network August 27 news, this former Apple employees today exposed a group claiming to be iPad mini 2 photos of the back shell, so that the public eye from the new iPhone craze temporarily transferred over. We learned through exposure photographs, iPad mini 2 will be designed in the shape of the basic consistent with the generation of products.

believe that this time there is no exposure beyond many people’s surprise. Because all along, rumors about iPad mini 2 are basically focused on “whether with Retina Screen” on this point. However, Dickson exposed iPad mini 2 in addition to the back shell photo outside did not able to reveal more about this new product information, is somewhat regrettable.

there are rumors that Apple will be held on September 10 this year, the new conference, but this conference is the protagonist of a iPhone. Media speculation that this year Apple will also continue to use the last two autumn conference presentation strategy to show the world the new iPhone and iPad, meaning a new generation iPad (including iPad 5 and iPad mini 2) the stage will be the exclusive September 10 after build.

Parallels Access Is the Ultimate App for iPad Power Users - Mashable

What’s This?

The iPad is the most popular tablet in the world by far, but it still can’t do everything a PC or Mac can. There are countless apps that only work on “proper” computers – from the full version of Microsoft Office to Final Cut Pro. Is there a way to bring those apps to the iPad without compromising the experience too much?

With today’s launch of Parallels Access, the answer is most definitely yes. The iPad app lets you run apps from your PC or Mac almost as if they were native to the iPad. There may be no iPad version of Word, for example, but with Parallels’ app, you can run it off your computer and “stream” it to the tablet.

Parallels has a lot of experience with that kind of virtualization software – the company’s desktop app lets users run PC apps on Macs. Parallels took a previous stab at the iPad with Parallels Mobile in 2011. Although the app garnered generally positive reviews, it was discontinued a few weeks ago to make way for the new app.

Parallels Access takes the virtual-computer experience to the next level . The new app goes beyond simply providing a window back to the other machine, taking into account things like screen resolution (the apps are resized for the iPad’s aspect ratio) and user experience (PC and Mac apps can use iPad copy-and-paste) . Parallels calls the iPad-tailoring “applification.”

All this power and convenience comes with a cost, however. Although the app is technically free, you’ll need to subscribe to the service for the hefty price of $ 79.99 a year per machine . There are trial periods, of course, but it’s a tall order for appcess … er, access to apps you already have, many of which probably have iPad versions.

So is it worth it? Parallels gave me a sneak peek at the new app to find out.


Doorway to Your Mac

Setting up Parallels Access is an involved process. You not only need to download the app and register an account, but you also have to download and install the agent for the Mac or PC you want to access. The Mac version has a 14-day trial, versus 90 days on Windows – presumably because the Windows version is labeled “beta.”

When you first install the app on your machine, Parallels will ask if you want to set the computer to never go to sleep. If it ever does, it’ll fall off the grid, and the app won’t be able to access it. Of course, it’s a given that the machine must be connected to a Wi-Fi network. But it can be any Wi-Fi network, meaning it can be anywhere in the world and you can access it via the app.

Once you’re done all the installations and setup, actually using the app is a breeze. Fire it up, and you’ll see all the computers you’ve set up to work with Parallels. Tap one, and you’re immediately taken to an app launcher, more or less modeled after Apple’s Launchpad. If it’s a Windows machine, you’ll see the old Windows logo blurred behind the icons; on Mac, it’s the galaxy image that’s the default desktop background.

The app is intuitive to the extreme . Once you’ve launched one of your computer’s apps, you can always return to the launcher via a small nav menu on the bottom right. You can also cycle through active apps without closing the current one, and even choose specific windows. Settings are just a tap away.

You can tell Parallels Access was designed with Microsoft Office in mind. The app works gloriously with Word and Excel, with copy-and-paste functionality that seems native to the iPad. Even the magnifying glass works as expected.

Parallels copy

Most other apps work fine – my IM client (Adium), Safari and Chrome browsers and TweetDeck all performed great on the iPad, with minimal issues translating clicks to touch. Photoshop Elements, however didn’t work as well. Although I could see the row of drop-down menus, photos themselves sometimes weren’t visible, replaced with a generic “Parallels” label.


Fogged-Up Windows

While Parallels Access was virtually hitch-free on the Mac, the Windows experience is more glitchy – you can see why it carries the “beta” label. Although most apps from my Surface Pro would run, usability was more of a challenge. Even simple things like scrolling were problematic; when scrolling horizontally, I needed to put my finger in the top third of the screen, for example.

Copy and paste was also challenged. After launching the Windows 8 Mail app on my iPad, I tried to copy part of an email. However, even though the native iPad magnifying glass appeared, once I selected something there was no way to alter the selection, leaving me able to copy only a single word.

Drawing programs were completely out of luck. I tried FreshPaint, Paint and Autodesk Sketchbook, and none of them would translate my finger swipes into markings. Clearly, the PC experience needs polish.

Generally, though, I could launch and use any Windows app (7 or 8) as if it were made for the iPad. I’ve always found the CNN app for iPad to be lacking, but with Parallels the great horizontal-scrolling Windows 8 version was just a few taps away.


Compromises and Strength

Parallels Access is well thought-out, but it isn’t magic. With every app, you’ll notice a slight but perceptible reduction in responsiveness compared to the native app experience. The onscreen keyboard doesn’t always appear when it should either (although it’s easy enough to call up).

Also, if your machine is typically hooked up to a second screen, you may notice some flakiness with screen resolution after you disconnect. For the workstation my MacBook Pro is usually hooked up to, I needed to pull out and reattach the monitor cord to reset everything.

That’s on top of the previously stated issues with Windows and not being able to use sleep mode on your computer. Are all these compromises enough to justify getting Parallels Access?

A thousand times yes. When you look at the big picture of what Parallels Access does, it doesn’t just run your computer’s apps on the iPad – it lets you run them wherever you are. For when you need to see that PowerPoint deck from two years ago that’s on your home machine, or the situations when you could use an iPad browser that runs Adobe Flash, or the time you really, really don’t want to get out of bed and go downstairs to perform a simple revision to a Word doc, this app opens up all those doors and more.

If those things never happen to you, then you can skip Parallels’ new app and its eyebrow-raising subscriber fee. But for those whose eyes brighten a little bit at the prospect of turning an iPad into a full-fledged computer , even for a little while, Parallels Access is must-get. After all, there’s nothing that power users like better than more power.


The Lowdown

The Good

The Bad

  • Pricey: $ 79.99 a year per machine.

  • Windows version needs polish.

  • Experience not a fluid as native iPad apps.

Bottom Line: Although it’s pricey and imperfect, Parallels Access is a godsend for iPad power users who want access to their computer’s apps from anywhere.
