BEIJING—Apple Inc. is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular  network compatibility (兼容) for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where the consumer-electronics giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion.
According to China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for the company to begin official sales in China.The device, listed under model number “A1396”, is compatible with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by Apple’s local iPhone partner, China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd.
China Unicom declined  to comment.
Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland.Still, consumers in China, which according to research firm IDC surpassed  the US as the world’s largest PC market in the second quarter, have been purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels.
Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said Sept 6 that the company’s first Hong Kong store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city’s central shopping and business district in the International Finance Center’s upscale (高档的) IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot along the city’s waterfront.Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter, which will be its biggest store in China.She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2.
Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of any Apple stores in the world.The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the market.
The new stores reflect Apple’s confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones and tablet computers.Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost (增长) the company’s third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July.China revenue (收益) surged (激增) six-fold to about $3.8 billion during the three months ended June 25.
“This has been a substantial (重大) opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that we’re just scratching the surface right now,” Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China.“I see an incredible opportunity for Apple there.”

Imagine that you are sitting in a park and suddenly remember that you need to send an urgent email. You have your laptop computer with you and you connect it to a wireless access point and access the Internet. Then you send your email. This wouldn’t have been possible if there were no wireless Internet for laptops. Wireless Internet has come into our life in so many ways that we don’t even realize what a necessary part it has become of our day-to-day lives.

How do we connect to a wireless Internet service for laptop computers? There are two ways to do this. They are Wi-Fi connection and Bluetooth connection. Wireless networking is very easy. You just switch on the Wi-Fi button that has been provided in the laptop for Wi-Fi scanning. Once that is done, the computer will connect to the Internet.

An interesting fact about Wi-Fi networking is that you can create a network between similar wireless equipment. Consider a situation where you and your friend both have Wi-Fi laptops, and there is some data you want to exchange. Traditional networking architecture demands that you have a wireless router (路由器). But the beauty of Wi-Fi networking technology is that you can set up a network between you and your friend’s laptop, and share all the data you want.

Broadband (宽带) Internet connection is typically preferred by any user as it provides better speed for Internet surfing. Up until the invention of 3G mobile phones, Internet speed on mobile phones was very slow. 3G has the promise of changing the entire face of broadband technology. Just imagine browsing at speeds of more that 2MB per second. To give you a measure of the speed, 3G enables you to watch high quality live videos on the Internet.

It is amazing to see how technology changes and the rate at which it changes. There may come a time when you may be able to browse using mobile wireless Internet for laptops anywhere in the world.

We’ve made a list of what we think are the coolest concept phones presented in 2010. But don’t ask us where you can get them and what the prices are.

1.LG Flutter Concept Smart-phone

The LG Flutter has a face like the iPhone.

The only difference is that the LG Flutter looks more like a fan or a killer’s tool which we see in sci-fi movies.

In spite of this, this design does seem fit for the future of mobile phones but looks a bit difficult to use.

2.Nokia 888 Communicator

The phone has an amazing design. You can fold it in many ways according to your needs. You can wear it as a bracelet(手镯), roll it, bend it, and wear it as a clip on your clothes.

Nokia 888 Concept is mostly targeted at teenagers that are very active and take part in a lot of different activities.

3.Window Phone

It is a product to throw on the face of the shameless weather officials.

Whenever they predict sunny day be sure it would rain. So we have thought of gifting them this: “Window Phone” that makes accurate predictions and even changes its display(显示)according to the climate condition outdoors.

4.Nokia Morph

The Nokia Morph is created by Finnish company Nokia. The concept was the product of a joint study by the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge’s Nanoscience Center.

The phone could be bent into numerous shapes,so it can be worn around the wrist(手腕)or held up to the face. The transparent(透明的)phone would allow it to be see-through yet functional. It has a self-cleaning surface that can absorb solar energy to recharge the phone battery(电池).

On looks it is just another ordinary phone type,but made in recycled material, which allow the device to be upgraded to meet the latest advancements in technology.

We guess the green aspects on the high-end tech will be a selling point for this phone.
