Royal Ascot event brings together Kings, Queens, and royalty of all kinds. Royal Ascot 2011 started on 14th of this month and will continue till 18th June, in there will be exciting horse races between Kings and Queens stakes and  there’s big prize money over £3,000,000 on offer. It is a major event in the British social calendar, and press coverage of the attendees and what they are wearing often exceeds coverage of the actual racing. The Royal Ascort is the home of horse racing attraction and the extravagant headwear worn by attendees is also great to watch.

Facebook going to release its Official iPad App!

More than a year time have passed when the iPad first went on sale, still there’s no Official Facebook App for it. Don’t worry you’ll be getting one soon because Facebook is finally going to release an official application for the iPad, and of-course for iPad 2 as well. It will be great to have this Official Facebook app because it will offer all those features that are not available from other third party apps.

According to the New York Times:

People briefed on Facebook’s plans say that in coming weeks the company plans to introduce a free iPad application that has been carefully designed and optimized for the tablet. The app has been in production at Facebook for almost a year, going through several design iterations, and is now in the final stages of testing, according to these people, who declined to be named because they were discussing confidential product plans.

Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook CEO and founder has been keeping an eye on the design and unique features of the app that have been made especially for iPad and its interface. This app will take Photos and Videos besides redesigned versions of Facebook Chat and Groups.

“The photo and video experience is amazing, offering full resolution and full-screen images,” said a person who has seen the app.

Regarding promotion for the app reported by the person familiar with these, Apple plans to help Facebook promote the app by featuring it featuring it prominently in the App Store.

Besides this new app, Facebook also has plans to introduce better versions of its website for iPad, just to supplement the user experience.

We don’t have a release date yet…it’s still under development so it will take some time before the big release…

iPad contributes 89% of Global Tablet Traffic, 97% of U.S. Tablet Traffic and 92% of WiFi Traffic, So Much Popular!

We know that Apple iPad is one of the world’s famous device, you can judge this by the latest research study findings by the ComScore. He’s used a newly established Device Essentials Analytics service to find out the digital traffic by device. Amazingly but not so,iPad contributed for 89% of tablet traffic across all markets whereas 97% of United States tablet traffic.

iPad and Other Device Traffic Contribution by Country

comScore Device Essentials sheds light on traffic patterns by device across geographies. One of the most rapidly emerging digital traffic trends occurring across many countries is the impact of the Apple iPad and other tablets. In the analysis below of thirteen countries covering five continents, we can see how traffic is sourced from various devices.

The iPad is currently the dominant tablet device across all geographies, contributing more than 89 percent of tablet traffic across all markets. The iPad’s contribution to total non-computer device traffic is highest in Canada (33.5 percent). Brazil has the second highest non-computer device share of traffic coming from the iPad at 31.8 percent, although non-computer devices account for less than 1 percent of total traffic in the country. In Singapore, where non-computer devices comprise nearly 6 percent of total traffic, the iPad accounts for 26.2 percent of this traffic.

Interestingly, we can see that while Android tablets significantly lag behind Apple in the U.S. tablet market, the platform actually bests Apple in the Smartphone space (35.6 percent vs. 23.5 percent). iPod Touches contribute a notable percentage of non-computer device traffic across most countries, while other devices such as e-readers and gaming systems contribute only a very modest percentage.

Here’s the detailed chart of the findings…

Traffic by Device: WiFi LAN Access Vs. Mobile Network Access

Also in the study of “Traffic by Device: Wifi/LAN Access vs mobile network access” compared with other tablets, iPad got 91.9% of traffic over the WiFi networks compared to 65.2% of Android Tablets.

Apple’s new iPad 2

Apple’s new iPad 2 is getting more and more popular day by day as more people preferring to use iPad instead of taking papers along with them. You can judge the importance of iPad by the recent news that American Airlines are testing to replace their old system of paper navigational charts with new iPads to cut their cost and save up to $1.2 million a year in fuel and also to make cockpits paperless.

Pilot flight bags typically weigh 35 pounds or more, and contain navigational charts and other important flight information. The tablets are being tested on two flights departing Los Angles for Tokyo and Shanghai, respectively. The Federal Aviation Administration has approved the iPad tables for all phases of flight, allowing for the first time the use of device during takeoff and landing.

American Airline pilots started testing iPads last Thursday as a part to make that whole process paperless and especially to make commercial airline cockpits paperless. Following the same footings, Alaska Airlines will also issue iPads to their pilots. The 1.5 pound iPads replaces up to 25 pounds of paper flight manuals that the pilots carry with them when they fly. Texas-based American Airlines said the use of the Apple devices will reduce enough weight that it would cut the airline’s annual fuel bill by about $1.2 million. The Alaska Airlines expects to completely switchover from old system to new iPads by this month.
