Angry Birds Star Wars is launching the day after tomorrow, this November 8th, and as such Rovio has started to tease us with more videos. First up is the gameplay trailer, which shows us how all the birds look like characters from the Star Wars movie franchise, complete with abilities based on their characters, heh. The Red bird has a lightsaber which that deflect laser shots from Stormpiggies and take down entire structures, while the Yellow Bird looks like Han Solo and has the ability to make strafing runs over the course of his trajectory. 

Then there’s the black bird Obi-wan Kenobi which can force push a structure before hitting it. There’s also the Pink Bird Princess Leia who has a similar laser shot to the Han Solo bird, and the R2-D2 bird which can electrocute everything in a certain radius. There’s also Chewie which seems like he can just roll over anything, heh. Check it out below:

Apple Declare 3 Million iPad Mini and iPad 4th Gen Sold in Three Days

Apple’s newest members of the iPad line-up, the iPad mini and the updated iPad 4th gen, have managed to sell more than 3 million units in three days since launch.

Usually I’d say that was a pretty good number, but it’s not really that impressive, considering that they combined sales for both the iPad Mini and the new 4th gen iPad, so you dont really know how many of each have sold. Apple’s CEO Tim Cook stated;

“Customers around the world love the new iPad mini and fourth generation iPad. We set a new launch weekend record and practically sold out of iPad minis. We’re working hard to build more quickly to meet the incredible demand.”

The numbers also dont include cellular iPads which wont ship for another few weeks. Still better than the 1.5 Million Wifi 3rd gen iPads sold at it’s launch, I guess? Considering that that the new 4th gen iPad and iPad mini are available to buy in 34 countries though, it really does seem like a somewhat small-ish number for Apple.

Still, I’m thinking a huge part of that number is the iPad Mini, eh? Full Press Release below.

Microsoft Windows 8 Will Lounch on Oct. 26 2012

By Nitin Sirsat, Published: July 18

Microsoft announced Wednesday that it will release the next version of its Windows operating system on Oct. 26.

Windows 8 is Microsoft’s big bet on touch and on tablets, with the company releasing two versions with the Windows 8 feel that are meant to better unify the mobile tablet and PC experience. The system has the “Metro” look that Microsoft has been building into all its products — from the Xbox to the Windows Phone — with its distinctive blocky layout and live-updating tiles.

The release is in line with expectations that the company would send its next version of Windows to consumers in October, as the company indicated earlier this month.

Microsoft is taking a big chance with Windows 8, putting much of the legacy look and feel of Windows to pasture in favor of the new interface. Not everything has changed— in fact, some reviewers have complained that Microsoft’s new system has an identity crisis as it works to support both new Metro applications and legacy Window applications.

Earlier this week, Microsoft introduced a new version of Office that builds in the touch interface and also makes the popular suite a cloud-first set of programs. That move, along with the decision to set upgrades to Windows 8 Pro at just $39.99,signals that Microsoft is trying very hard to get its customers off of older systems and programs and into the future.

Getting users to upgrade has been a problem for Microsoft. According to the analysis site NetMarketShare, about 40 percent of computers are still running Windows XP, just 1 percent ahead of the 39 percent market share from Windows 7.

The company has yet to announce when it will release its Surface tablet, which will run either a PC version of Windows 8 or the tablet version, known as Windows RT. The Surface also will be the only tablet on the market to have the Office suite — a clear advantage for Microsoft as it fights to take on the iPad and hold off Google’s cloud-based word-processing, spreadsheet and presentation software.

Tablet Market And Smartphones Market: Global Database & Forecast (2010 - 2015)

Microsoft (MSFT) startled everyone yesterday by announcing that it is going to make and sell its own version of the iPad, which is called the "Surface." This new tablet, which Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer demo-ed in Los Angeles yesterday, will be made entirely by Microsoft--hardware and software. This strategy, selling an integrated device, is a 180-degree turn from the strategy that Microsoft has employed with PCs and smartphones for the past three decades. The decision will certainly startle and possibly anger the hardware vendors that buy Microsoft's operating systems--Hewlett Packard (HPQ), Dell (DELL), etc.--all of which will likely have their own tablets. Now, instead of being a partner and supplier, Microsoft will be a direct competitor. That likely won't sit well. So, why is Microsoft doing this? And does it have any chance of success? Microsoft is doing this, I would argue, because it has realized that Apple (AAPL) is right: There are huge advantages to building and selling integrated devices, at least in the smartphone and tablet markets. (Microsoft's PC operating system business is still doing fine, although the world is rapidly moving into a "Post-PC" era in which the PC is much less relevant.) In its latest attempt to recoup lost share in the smartphone market, Microsoft employed its standard strategy. It built a version of Windows for mobile, and then it partnered with hardware makers like Nokia (NOK). So far, this strategy has failed: Nokia is imploding, and the Microsoft-basedsmartphones have not been selling well. Meanwhile, another big potential competitor in the tablet market, Google (GOOG), has failed to gain any traction with its own "software-only" strategy. With the exception of Amazon's (AMZN)Kindle, which is highly customized, Google Android-based tablets have flopped. So Microsoft may have observed these two failures--its own in smartphones and Google's in tablets--and decided that the only way to compete was to make and sell the whole tablet itself. Will it work? That remains to be seen. The "Surface" looked good in the demo, and it has some features that the iPad lacks--namely a "cover" that doubles as a keyboard. That feature will probably appeal to dedicated PC users who haven't yet made the jump to Apple. Apple's iPad is much more of a "consumption" device than a "creation" device, and the keyboard will make it easier to use Surface as a lightweight PC. The Surface should also appeal to companies, which are struggling to support both Windows-based PCs and Apple-based iPads and iPhones. If the tablet works well, and runs native Microsoft Office programs well, companies may view it as the best tablet for them to use. And that will help Microsoft defend its turf in the enterprise. But Microsoft has been in the hardware business before--with mixed results. The Xbox has worked: Microsoft attacked the game-console market and then displaced Sony and Nintendo. The Zune music player, however, was a disaster. Importantly, Microsoft has also not said how much the Surface will cost or when it will be released. Microsoft is already two years behind Apple in tablets, and the low-end iPad price is already down to $399. If Microsoft can't beat that latter price, or can't launch very quickly, it's hard to see how the company will even have a chance.
