While tablet computing may in future transform the whole computer industry, it is already changing the way we look at augmented reality. And this is not only because of the big display. More and more different devices for multiple OS platforms are expected to appear on the market, equipped with advanced sensors such as high-resolution cameras. The cost of data roaming is likely to drop and considering the millions of people expected to buy such a device in the next few years, there are incentives enough for optimizing augmented reality (AR) tablet software and to start creating really useful and fascinating applications taking full advantage of the promising, new capabilities. metaio, with its junaio 2.6 release, a junaio plug-in for third party app integration, and the revised mobile AR SDK Unifeye 2.5, is well prepared and ready to go for the next generation of AR applications. We would like to especially thank www.vanija.ch and www.kreativagentur-thomas.de for their great support on the groundbreaking demos and applications.

www.nma.tv Reports suggest Apple is working on a second version of its iPad. The updated device would include a camera for video conferencing and better memory and graphics. The tablet industry is evolving everyday. Motorola will soon release the Xoom, which will run the Android operating system. Content is evolving too; Rupert Murdoch recently launched The Daily, the first iPad-only newspaper. But what are these new devices costing our culture? Many people are trading real world experiences The cost is literal, too. An 8-year-old Maryland girl racked up a $1400 iTunes bill playing the game Smurfs' Village on her mom's iPad. Such is the consequence when parents use gadgets as babysitters. The technology is being overly-embraced by teachers as well, as Georgia is looking into providing each student in the state with an iPad. Many fear how constant exposure to personal media will affect our children. Even so, tablet technology is here to stay. Is this just the next step in human evolution?
