Nothing is In A Name
Sony, Nike, Gucci, BT, Microsoft, Ford, Armani… and so on, names we come across in daily life, these are top “manufacturer brands”, then there are Tesco, Next, M&S, GAP, Burberry, Virgin etc, these are top “retail brands”. Most of us are very familiar with these brands as we have seen them around for a long time and have grown to trust them, we know who they are and what to expect from their products.
It is also common practice for people to become brand loyal too, i.e. you try and like the products of a brand and then stick to that brand, or buy a product like a Fuji digital camera and use a Fuji memory card to go with it. In fact, the brands actively encourage brand loyalty e.g. if you buy an Epson printer, the company’s literature will encourage the use of Epson ink cartridges.
Many people are then surprised, to learn that their famous brand camera, watch, car, clothing, computer etc, is not actually made by the company whose name appears on the product, but by another company they perhaps have never heard of. This company is known as the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) being the actual manufacturer of the product which is sold under it’s own brand, or the brand of another company, often using that company’s design, specifications etc.
Some OEM relationships are public knowledge e.g. Tesco do not produce instant coffee, so, an instant coffee producer makes Tesco instant coffee. Other OEM relationships are less obvious e.g. BT fax machines are mostly made by Olivetti, early Hewlett Packard digital cameras were made by Pentax and 70% of the notebook computers sold in the world (Dell, Compaq, HP, Apple, IBM, Sony etc.) are made by Quanta Computers in Taiwan and MG City Rover is made by Tata, the largest car manufacturer in India.
Many OEM relationships are well-kept secrets or at least kept discrete and known only to industry insiders e.g. Dell and Lexmark, from 2002 Lexmark produce Dell inkjet printers, laser printers and related print cartridges. Sony and Sandisk jointly develop and produce Memory Stick cards, which are sold under both brands etc.
So, is this a good or bad thing? Well, it’s a good thing for the consumer because these joint collaborations drastically reduce new product development and production costs, ultimately this saving translates into lower prices of products for all of us. However, it is worth bearing in mind, that a more expensive brand may not necessarily be a better product, or even any different to a lower priced product.
For our part at Mouse2House, we actively offer major brand products as well as alternative brands that in our experience we have found to represent good or better value.

The Apple iPad – What is it For?
There has been a lot pleasure within the marketplace location and a lot buzz about Apple’s new providing towards the globe, the Apple ipad. At first provide issues within the US had been impacted by unprecedented need within the UK for this new item of kit from Apple. Just like a big variety of individuals had been fired up concerning the iPhone, other people are now fired up concerning the Apple ipad, but are they fired up simply because with the media buzz or could it be truly an excellent item of technologies that we ought to all rush out and purchase?
Searching on the net at numerous blogs and forums there’s a lot of a combined response towards the apple ipad. In improvement, prior to its release, it was initially named the Apple Pill and also the title alter to apple ipad could have been a ploy to create the customers consider it as something various, not only an additional pill pc.
Consequently, does it evaluate towards the tablets provided by Dell or Fujitsu? In several instances, some say not: it doesn’t possess the variety of performance although it’s priced decrease. Could it be a substitute towards the pocket book? Afraid not, it doesn’t possess the variety of performance, although once more it’s priced decrease. Could it be a brand new kind of e- reader? So what’s it for?
It definitely provides the acquainted Apple capabilities, for example entry towards the iStore and its record of Apple apps, the wireless web entry in order that we are able to make use of the internet applications and all of the websites that we usually get to utilizing our laptops or mobiles. We are able to hear to new music around the apple ipad and we are able to play video games as well. Actually, it sounds a little just like the iPhone does it not? Without the telephone!
Anybody can make use of the apple ipad: you will find no windows, no files, just apps to make use of 1 at a time. “What no multitasking?” I hear you cry? No, not however, will it is available in the long term? There is not any digital camera, but hey it is not a large cell phone, it is an apple ipad; it isn’t a pocket book, it is an apple ipad. Will they add a digital camera? Perhaps – most likely.
If we take a fast take a look at the technical aspect, it includes a 1024 x 768, 9.7 inch diagonal display. The iPhone display, by the way, is 480×320 and three.5″ diagonally. It includes an option of 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB flash drives put in. Its processor is really a 1 GHZ Apple A4 processor with integrated 3D graphics, energy management and audio, storage and I/O interfaces. As a result of reality that each one of those capabilities is on a single chip it tends to make the Lithium-polymer battery a great contender within the greatest battery existence competitors.
Wi-Fi-only Apple iPads can run having a 10-hour battery existence which will probably be ideal for individual’s lengthy aircraft journeys and a lot lengthier than a cellular pc. A shorter existence if you’re enjoying video games, nevertheless.
The technologies appear Okay, the battery existence is excellent, it is new and it is from Apple: that might be sufficient to sway you into purchasing 1. The value is observed by some as excessively higher but you are able to make your personal thoughts up about that as 1000′s of apple ipad owners have already got. Should you don’t have an iPhone the Apple ipad will probably be a deal with for you personally, but you’ll nonetheless require a mobile phone when you’ve got 1.
When you’ve got an iPhone and have observed all with the apps and skilled the contact display technologies and played new music and video games you may battle to discover the correct use for the apple ipad. Nevertheless, I really feel this really is just the starting. It might only get much better, new releases will arrive and performance will enhance, although I doubt if the Apple ipad will get any less expensive.

Where or when can I gt a Tablet PC?
I want to buy a Tablet PC, but the cheapest thing out there $1000. Is the price of Tablet PCs expected to drop anytime soon? Also, I don’t mean a tablet like the iPad, I am talking about something like a Lenovo thinkpad, HP tm2t, Dell xt2, or the Fujitsu lifebooks. And not Apple… Sorry I’m not quite a PC fanboy, but I just don’t think Apple is so good.
Will anything like those be available for $500-750 by the end of the year?
Also, (because I know they will all come with windows 7 STARTER), does ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu support multitouch or even regular touch screens? Or does some other variation of the beloved open source Linux-based OS support it?
Here is one for less than $400. Newegg only ships to US and Canada though. No international shipping. Here it is not sure if it meets your needs:
