"With its price and performance, the Split x2 fits into the high end of the hybrid line, almost on par with Ultrabooks," said Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research. "I'm glad they're using full-sized keyboards; nothing's worse than trying to use a small keyboard."
"Intel's gunning for the high-end gamer market," Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld. "It's trying to enhance its processors to include 3D and other enhancements supported by discrete solutions from Nvidia, AMD and other players." The chip gi...
"These solutions are being designed to handle the massive amounts of data that will be generated," Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst at Tirias Research told TechNewsWorld. "Whether third-party services will be required is still open to question, but handling the data can and will be a challenge. We are moving to a connected world, and that's really going to stress out our bandwidth and spectrum-constrained networks."
Including Google Now on the Google home page "would drive PC users to the homepage rather than have them just using the tool bar, and to provide mobile information with more information just by clicking on Google, or on the browser feature if the homepage is set to Google," said Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research...
"Having Google involved is a huge benefit [because it] has money and expertise, and is looking to grow outside of its existing business models," Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld. "Google also manages to offer services much cheaper than others, or free."
"Advancements in battery technology are critical, especially as we face challenges in continuing Moore's Law in silicon and other parts of the system, such as the displays, consume more of the overall energy budget for mobile devices," said Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research. "We cannot continue to improve performance while reducing power, [and] battery improvements will help offset these challenges while also enabling new form factors such as wearable electronics."
"AT&T and Verizon already offer combined services and have done so for years," said Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research. "If anything, Dish/Sprint would be the latecomer. It would make [the combination of] Dish and Sprint more competitive, but that does not guarantee success."
"This is a key direction of technology," said Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst with Tirias Research. "Just because the past solutions have sucked does not mean that we may not eventually get it right as the market, technology, and ecosystem evolve. Just consider th...
"This is one of those interesting technologies that could be used for more than password protection," Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst at Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld "It could be used to control peripherals or input/output functionality, and could eventuall...
"No one really knows what the game will look like in the future, so HP is trying to make the widest bet possible," said Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst at Tirias Research. "They are trying to create the most flexible platform for whatever direction the industry and the technology go. At the same time, they are addressing three of the major issues -- power, cost and size/form factor."
"All this is probably good for Samsung," Jim McGregor, founder of TIRIAS Research, told the E-Commerce Times. "If Best Buy has that much extra space to give away, that doesn't bode well for them." It might be a smart strategy for Best Buy to sublease their space to consumer el...
Given its features, it's difficult to distinguish the Amplify tablet from the competition. "There's going to be no significant benefit for people to use the News Corp. tablet over other tablets in schools," Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld...
Using hand gestures "would be great for content creation and simulation," Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Researchsuggested. "Imagine the potential for analyzing motions or simulating those motions into computer-generated characters." The technology could "bring us further towards making animation very close to reality."
"I believe it's more of a public relations tool than anything else," Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst atTirias Research, told TechNewsWorld "[The Obama administration is] just trying to build a case for any actions that may eventually come to light through either op...
More work needs to be done on gesture technology for new uses to appear. "You need advanced algorithms to distinguish what motions to recognize and for what actions, which will likely vary for each consumer, so you'll need learning algorithms like those used in speech recognition," Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst at Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld...
The concern about interference with adjacent bands "is less of an issue" with the FCC than fears about the competitive landscape, Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst at Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld Issues Arising out of the Purchase...
The patent litigation is "over products that aren't even relevant in the market because the market and products are evolving so rapidly," Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst at Tirias Research, told the E-Commerce Times Legal Pat-a-Cake...
While closed-door meetings of governments provide grounds for concern, "it's difficult enough to get governments to agree," Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst at Tirias Research, stated. "I doubt that the meeting is, or will be used, to limit the freedom of speech that many are worried about."
"The display is the most critical part of any consumer electronic device," said Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst at Tirias Research. "Not only do its sharpness and brightness help determine the overall user experience, but it can have a huge impact on weight, thickness and power consumption. Being able to use plastic AMOLED displays would be a huge competitive advantage."
"More phones are coming out on Android than any other OS, especially in the lower cost segments," Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research, told the E-Commerce Times. For example, Chinese vendor ZTE, which, along with compatriot Huawei was declared a possible nati...
