Competition for the iPad to Launch at Taipei 2011 Computer Trade Show*

Apple’s iPad has long since reigned supreme in the tablet pc market. There have been a lot of other companies that have put out some truly remarkable products but none have quite caught the attention away from the iPad. Well naturally these competitors are tired of being second best and are planning on showing off a bunch of new tablet products to rival the iPad at the upcoming 2011 Computex Taipei.

At the 2011 event, more exhibitors will be displaying at far more booths at the second largest computer trade show in the world. Expect to see a slew of increasingly popular devices including the latest in tablet computers and e-readers according to event organizers.

The 2011 Computex Taipei event will host more than 1,800 companies, both foreign and local, which have signed up to meet in Taiwan from May 31 to June 4, 2011. These companies will take over more than 5,000 booths at the event which is an increase over the 4,861 booths used by the 1,715 exhibitors at the 2010 event.

The Computex Taipei event, now celebrating its 31st birthday, is often used as a platform for companies, both local and foreign, to showcase their new products which will be comprised of a lot of tablet computers this year in response to the iPad’s overwhelming success.

Tablet releases by some of the big names in the industry, including Acer, Austek, Samsung, ViewSonic, Dell and HP, will coincide at the event. All of these companies will include tablet computers next year, according to sources at the event.

There are expected to be more Chinese buyers at the 2011 event due to Taiwan and China signing a landmark liberalized trade pact earlier this year, according to Brian Lee, executive director of the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA).

According to Lee, “The average number of foreign visitors to the show is about 36,000 every year, but there will probably be 40,000 next year.” Lee also predicts that after the event concludes, the value of transactions promoted by the show will total more than $23 billion in the following 12 months.

Apple may be the reigning champ in the tablet pc market but seems to be facing some stiff competition at the 2011 Computex Taipei. If Apple wishes to remain on top, then they had better be aware of their competition and start working on some great new innovations for the iPad.

Projector Rental Saves Small Business Owner

Meeting Room Projectors Everybody knows that if it is possible for something to go wrong at the worst possible moment, then that is exactly when it will happen. You’re running late for work and your car breaks down or the coldest weather of the year arrives and your furnace won’t turn on. Problems, it seems, tend to rear their heads when they are the least needed. And while your car breaking down or your furnace not turning on are drastic problems in your home life, problems in your business life can be just as bad, like the story of our good friend Francisco from Los Angeles, California.

Francisco owns his very own digital media design company. His workforce isn’t very big but they have a trusted following in their area of loyal and repeat customers. Well, not too long ago, Francisco got the opportunity of a lifetime. One of the biggest companies in his area called and wanted their logos redesigned for their websites, business cards etc…, and they asked Francisco and his team to tackle the job. They wanted to set up a meeting with Francisco so he could show them some design ideas and previous work he had done for other customers.

Francisco had everything set up the day of the meeting but, like anyone could have expected, the worst thing happened. Not more than a couple of hours before his meeting, Francisco’s meeting room projector decided to quit working. Probably the biggest deal in his career so far and Francisco had no way of presenting his designs to the customers. In many cases this is a deal ender. In this case, if you have to reschedule, most big companies will just take their business elsewhere, leaving you to fall flat.

However, Francisco had another solution, a projector rental. Francisco Googled Los Angeles projector rentals and the first result that came up was Rentacomputer.com. He called, got a fast and easy quote and had his projector that same day ensuring that his meeting went off as smoothly as possible.

Francisco got a fast and easy quote from his Tech Travel Agent who knew that he needed his projector that day.

Francisco got his projector that day due to Rentacomputer.com’s local delivery service. Rentacomputer.com will have a local technician from wherever you need your equipment installed come out and deliver your projector, computer or whatever else you need.

4 Rules to Remember When Flying with Your Laptop

Carrying a laptop through an airport should never have to be a hassle. But sadly, for most people it is. With the increase in TSA secuirty measures, taking your expensive laptop through the airport could be downright horrible. However, if you follow some very easy and simple rules, you should have no trouble at all getting your laptop onto the plane and not have to worry about it being lost, confiscated or damaged.

Rule #1: Make Sure You Have the Proper Security Measures in Place
An airport is one of the most popular locations for laptop thieves. No matter how well you guard your laptop, there is always a chance that it will get stolen. So, the best course of action to take here is to have a solid plan if this unfortunate event happens. Make sure to back up all of your files and have some security measures in place on your laptop to ensure that thieves cannot access your personal files. When backing up your files, it is recommended that you use an external hard drive. External hard drives are quick, easy and only run you around $100.

Rule #2: Don’t Argue with Security About Your Laptop
Airport security is allowed to confiscate your laptop at any time, no questions asked. If they ask you for your laptop, then all you can do is politely hand it over to them with no arguments. If you put a up a fight, you could lose more than your laptop, specifically your seat on your flight. In most countries there is no need to worry about airport security taking your laptop. Unless there is a valid reason you should have no problem with security and your laptop.

Rule #3: Going Through Security Checkpoints
Whenever you go through a security checkpoint in an airport, be sure to remove your laptop from its case and put it in a bin by itself. Some laptop bags are now being allowed at airports. If you are using a checkpoint-friendly laptop bag, then you may not be asked to remove your laptop from its case. However, if you are asked by security to remove your laptop then revert back to Rule #2 and don’t argue! After this, the next thing you need to do is remember to pick up your laptop. Surprisingly enough, forgetting to retrieve your laptop is a very common occurrence at airports. The best way to make sure it doesn’t happen is to attach a label to your laptop with your name and phone number on it.

Rule #4: Take Your Laptop onto the Plane
You may be tempted to check your laptop in with the rest of your luggage, but this is a big no no because chances are you will never see it again. If you are going to check it in with the rest of your luggage, then be sure to at least put it into another bag. You shouldn’t check it in with your luggage in its own bag because people will be highly tempted to steal it. Your best option is to personally carry it on board with you. Nearly every airline will allow you to carry your laptop on with you. You will be told to keep it turned off until takeoff, but after that you are free to do whatever you want. A new option that some airlines now offer is the availability of WiFi. This will usually incur a fee of around $10. But if you don’t want to take your laptop on board with you, then at least put it in a regular luggage bag, hidden from prying eyes.

Follow these four simple rules and you should have no problem taking your laptop on any flight you take.
