Best Android tablets in the world

1:19 AM Technology And Information


Asus Eee Pad Transformer


We love the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. It's been around for a while now, but in our opinion, it's still the most compelling Android tablet available. Not only is it powerful and well featured, it's designed to work with a keyboard dock which turns it into a fully-fledged Android-powered netbook. The fact is that Android as an OS is still lagging behind iOS in terms of tablet usability, so products need a USP.And on that score, this is the tablet that changed the game. Look out also for the Asus Eee Pad Slider which comes packing a slide-out keyboard - it's coming soon and promises great things!







 

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1


While the Transformer offers something a little different at an unbeatable price, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 offers a direct alternative to Apple's iPad 2. Sporting the Tegra 2 dual-core CPU, it's both marginally thinner and lighter than the iPad 2. This is some achievement, especially when you consider the fuss Apple made about how thin and light the iPad 2 was on launch. If you want an iPad-like tablet that's not an iPad, this is the one. The prices are the same as the iPad 2 !








Sony Tablet S

As a veritable mega-giant in the consumer tech universe, Sony's landing on Planet Tablet was always going to be interesting. Blasting off alongside the fold-in-half Tablet P, the Tablet S has a unique wedge-shaped design and top-end specs. It's a very decent and refined tablet, and has the unique feature of having access to original PlayStation games. The only issue is that it's not as tidy as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and not as versatile as the Transformer. Apart from that, it's one of the best Android tablets out there.

Firefox on Android: Announced New Interface to Boost up Firefox Performance

10:28 PM Technology And Information

Unlike Safari, Mozilla Firefox is quite rare on mobile phones and Smartphones and that is why Mozilla has decided to introduce whole new Firefox on Android user interface that will serve great performance.

Increased Processing Time

According to Mozilla, Firefox on Android is a critical part of supporting the open web. The all new Firefox interface is certainly going to speed up Firefox on Android gadgets, which ultimately implies less memory usage as well as quick start-up and smoother panning as well as zooming. When it comes to compare Firefox with the integrated browser on Android, the very first factor which matters is the start-up time because it is seen that Firefox generally gets out of the memory pool if sits ideal for a long time.



Whole New Interface

In an interview with Nightingale, he said after substantial discussions we have decided to introduce a new version of Firefox on Android with the all new interface. It’s only the interface which will change; otherwise the browser will continue using the underlying Gecko engine for processing Web page elements. Nightingale said; by the end of next week we will be clear with the work ahead in our minds.

RIM giving away free apps as compensation for outage

1:29 PM Technology And Information

the company behind the fading Blackberry devices are giving away a handful of application worth almost $100 as compensation for the Blackberry service outage that had rendered a lot of the devices all around the world useless for quite some time. Some of the applications that are being given away include SIMS 3, Shazam Encore and many more. There is no telling how much the company is losing due to the compensation as well as the outage.




The timing for the outage couldn’t even be more troublesome for the company as the Apple iPhone 4S was scheduled to be released at the same week on which the outage happened. The outage definitely gave the people at RIM a PR nightmare as people all around the world criticized the company heavily. The places affected by the outage spanned all across the globe as users not only from the United States that were affected but also in parts of Asia, Europe, South America and many more.

RIM was once a dominant name in the mobile industry but now the company is slowly losing fans because of competing companies such as Google and Apple, two giants that are now slowly gaining shares that was once RIM’s.

PlayStation Vita

4:33 PM Technology And Information

In other news from Sony, the PlayStation Vita (formerly identified as the Sony NGP—Next Generation Portable) finally has a price point.

The handheld gaming system, like its console big brother, is one of the most advanced on the market. It will have dual analog thumbsticks, six-axis motion sensors, front and rear facing cameras, an OLED touch screen, a touchpad on the reverse—all tucked into a tiny little device that fits in the palms of your hands.

Internally, the specs will make the device the most powerful portable gaming system around and gamers will rejoice with “hardcore” titles like Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and LittleBigPlanet.

However, the real news now is the pricing. The PlayStation Vita will be available in two models, a 3G version and a WiFi only version. The WiFi only model will run around $250 while its cellular cousin will cost $300. The 3G version will only be available through AT&T (because that worked so well for Apple) and will (most likely) require a contract or an upgrade to an existing contract.

These price points put the Vita within striking distance of Nintendo’s own portable gaming devices (the Nintendo DS and 3DS) and will likely take a good chunk out of the gaming giant’s wallet.

Microsoft Comfort Curve Ergonomic Keyboard

4:19 PM Technology And Information

I’ve seen some pretty whacky keyboard mutations that claim to benefit the user and increase ergonomics, lessening the dangers of carpal tunnel and other repetitive stress ailments but most of them are far, too far-flung, to be of any real use. Microsoft, however, isn’t exactly known for reinventing the wheel. That’s why I think that their newly redesigned Comfort Curve keyboard is one of the simplest and most efficient keyboards the average user can upgrade to.

Instead of splitting the keyboard like many fancier keyboards try to do—which makes it a clunky peripheral, especially when using it for various functions other than typing—Microsoft just gave their device a little curve.

The bowed design supposedly allows the user to properly align their hands and ease stress on muscles and tendons. At the same time, the keyboard retains all the functionality of a standard QWERTY keyboard. This is partially thanks to the fact that designers kept the keys a uniform size rather than varying them to achieve an end. Microsoft even kept the number pad (which a lot of ergonomic keyboards surgically remove).

The best part about this peripheral though is definitely the price. You can get your hands on one of these when they launch in August for just $20. That’s right around the price of other bargain basement keyboards which don’t work half as well.

The only drawback I can see is that the glossy surface is definitely going to pick up dust and fingerprints a lot faster than your old model.

Visit the official Microsoft website for more information about the Comfort Curve.

HTC EVO 3D En Route to Europe

3:55 PM Technology And Information

Europe’s first 3D-capable smartphone, the LG Optimus 3D (launched as the LG THRILL 4G on AT&T in the U.S.), will soon be hitting store shelves on July 7. And, HTC is going to follow suit in the same month–maybe within the same time week or a little later–with the GSM version of the HTC EVO 3D.

HTC announced the European release of the HTC EVO 3D yesterday in London. The announcement gave no specific release date for the HTC EVO 3D. However, it did say that the Android smartphone will become available all over Europe starting in July. No price info has been leaked out yet, although rumors say the price range will be somewhere around EUR500.


Touting the device as a “3D multimedia superphone,” HTC highlights the multimedia capture and playback capabilities of the HTC EVO 3D, particularly its glasses-free 3D display (thanks to a parallax barrier layer) and its stereoscopic 5-megapixel camera capable of capturing 720p video. It is powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

The HTC EVO 3D’s glasses-free display is on a 4.3-inch qHD screen (540×960). Rendering 3D images requires large processor and battery power, and the HTC EVO 3D comes equipped with components that are more than capable–a dual-core, 1.2-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon and a 1730-mAh battery.

Comparing apples and apples, the HTC EVO 3D’s biggest competitor in Europe in terms of specs and 3D capability is the LG Optimus 3D. Which of these two is your personal pick?
