What's a Tablet PC?
Tablet PCs are compact, ultra-portable entertainment devices that let you read email, surf the Internet, read eBooks, view photos, play games, listen to music and watch video files. Most tablets are based on a smaller operating system, which allows you to purchase and download additional applications from supported stores. Tablet PCs do not have a CD/DVD drive and will not run Microsoft Windows or its applications. Tablet PCs function as a secondary device for casual entertainment purposes and are not meant to replace a computer. They are ideal for use around the home and on the go with Wi-Fi or 3G/4G mobile broadband connections .

Why Buy an iPad Mini?

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 16 Januari 2013 0 komentar

It seems that apple will be releasing its scaled down tablet device, the "iPad Mini" in a special event in October. Who will buy such a device?   To get a better perspective it might be worthwhile to take a look at Google's recently released Nexus 7.
The Nexus 7 has been described as a "game changer"". It has been described as being "far ahead"of existing android tablets with it's high quality hardware and relatively inexpensive price. It is also the only tablet so far to ship with "Jelly Bean", or Android version 4.1. "Jelly Bean" is significant, as it delivers some of the smoothness and usability to Android devices that was believed to be lacking.    Those seeking to purchase an Android tablet should look for this, as apparently it makes a big difference. In the past Android has lacked the "rock solid" feel of iOs devices.
In the last quarter of 2011, Android tablet shipments reached around 40 percent, with iPad accounting for about 60 percent of the market. Interestingly of the Android tablet sales, 40% of these were Amazon Fire or the Nook, which are popular for reading eBooks.
These devices use the 7 inch form factor and show that there is substantial consumer demand small tablet devices. It seems obvious that to remain a market later apple must provide something in this form factor.
According to an article in CIO Magazine, Kyle Wiens, founder of iFixit and an iOS developer, says Not only will the iPad mini have a smaller, eye-straining screen, It probably won't have a Retina display, either."
Wiens, though, believes that the iPad mini will be used extensively in the field by technicians, where mobility trumps everything else. Such employees don't have much use for fancy Retina displays.    It does have to be readable in bright sunlight however.
"With service manuals, you need to see pictures to do repairs, which makes the iPad much more usable than the iPhone," Wiens says. "Yet you might be in tight places, so something in between would be reasonable."
In the same article Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi says that a small tablet probably won't have much of an impact on the enterprise. Milanesi covers the tablet market at Gartner and is very familiar with small tablets such as the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7, which she says are too small to get much work done.
She says a 7-inch Apple tablet, along with a cheap price point, will resonate with consumers, which somewhat undermines her anti-enterprise adoption argument. The thinking goes: If an iPad mini is a consumer hit, then it will likely ride BYOD to the enterprise anyway.
According to Steve Jobs, "The reason we [won't] make a 7-inch tablet isn't because we don't want to hit [a cheaper] price point, it's because we think the screen is too small to express the software... "
There are fears that scaled down iPad apps wont work well with the new form factor. This is unlikely, considering the efforts developers already go to support multiple form factors on other platforms.    Already developers manage to produce multi target apps for iPhone and iPad today. They will do the same for the mini.
For those that believe you can't fit enough text on this screen, keep in mind that this form factor is already the leading size for eReaders.
The future is bright for sub 10 inch form factor. Its affordability and ubitquity in the consumer market will mean it's adoption into everyday life is inevitable. the decision as to whether to get one or not will depend on the size of your pocket!

Is Tablet Speed Overrated?

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 09 Januari 2013 0 komentar

The Nexus 10 by Samsung and Google has a speed of 1.7 GHz. As of this writing, this tablet owns the highest figure in this area and yet, its performance does not overwhelm others that have lesser advertised speeds. The iPad, for example, has a speed of 1.4 but it's speed is undeniable. It even beats the Nexus 10 in benchmarks. How did this happen?

Speed Defined
A tablet's speed is its processor's clock speed. Typically, this figure reflects how many calculations it can perform in a given span of time.
Processes inside a tablet always involve computations. This means a tablet with a higher clock speed performs more tasks in a second than one with a lower clock speed.
Imagine filling up a bucket of water. Your task is to fill up the bucket in the shortest time possible. The faster you are, the quicker the task will be finished. Your speed in filling up the bucket of water is similar to a tablet's speed.

How About The Cores?
So how come tablet's with lower speed become as fast as ones with higher speeds? Another factor to be considered is the number of cores. Today's tablets have a maximum number of four cores, the most popular example being the Nexus 7. Most have two cores like the iPad and the Kindle Fire.
Let's go back to our bucket of water analogy. Another way of filling up the bucket in least time possible is buy using more pails simultaneously. The pails here represent the number of cores. At the same speed, a person who was four pails can fill the bucket faster than a person with two pails.

Don't Forget the RAM
RAM which is short for Random Access Memory is also a factor. The most common RAM among tablets today is 1GB. Others have 2GB like the Galaxy Note 10.1.
If the cores are represented by the number of pails in our analogy, RAM is represented by the size of the pails. Obviously, if your pails are bigger, you can fill up the bucket faster.

The System
The last factor to be considered would be the system run by the tablet. There are generally two systems: Android and iOS (or iPad). Continuing with our analogy, the system is represented by the person doing the task. Is the person comfortable with the pail? This question is similar to asking about the system's compatibility with the tablet's hardware. Android for tablets has become more stable than its past versions. However, the problem of "fragmentation" -- optimizing a program for a number of hardware -- still exists. This is not so much of a concern for Apple since there is essentially one "iPad".

Conclusion
A tablet's clock speed is not the only measure of its performance. The number of cores, RAM, and system compatibility should also be considered. Naturally, a tablet having higher figures in each factor should do well but such tablet does not exist for now. The type of tablet you should buy should match your need. If you're looking for a gaming tablet, consider one with a four cores. An ideal tablet for productivity should have a high RAM for handling complex tasks.
Read a lot of materials before buying a tablet and avoid buying one based on hype.

The Best Cheap Tablets

Posted by Unknown Senin, 07 Januari 2013 0 komentar

Most tablets in the market today can be considered luxuries rather than necessities. Case in point: the iPad. This popular tablet would cost you $500! But you don't have to go to extremes just to buy a good slate. There are other alternatives which are way cheaper but are still good. Below are some of the best affordable tablets in the market today.

Galaxy Tab 2 7.7
This tablet from Samsung only costs $250 and yet it offers a lot of good features.

So what's the catch with this Android tablet? The catch would be the cameras. This slate contains average cameras which are easily outmatched by most smartphones today.
The Galaxy Tab 2 7.7 comes in 8, 16 and 32 GB variants. A microSD card slot is available which allows you to beef up the storage to up to 32 GB.

Kindle Fire HD
Thanks to its manufacturer, the Kindle Fire has become the most popular Android tablet ever. It's the cheapest on this list but definitely not the least. The Kindle Fire HD retains the $199 price tag but with features not found on the original. The new device now supports Dolby Sound and the screen resolution is beefed up. Speaking of screen, there is a 8.9" screen version which only costs $250.
There are reports that some Kindle Fire units lag from time to time. This problem may have been caused by lack of optimization as the software running on it is modified. Another issue with this tablet is the bombardment of advertisements by its creator.

Google Nexus 7
The Nexus 7 is the best cheap tablet today. You can buy one for only $199 and you'll get a tablet with a super fast quad-core processor and a fantastic screen. Despite its price, this tablet does not look cheap. Actually, it looks opposite its price. It is also the first tablet to be released with the latest Android operating system, Jelly Bean.
The manufacturer of this tablet confirms that they are selling at least a million units per month. This is a testament that the Nexus 7 is really that enticing to users.
The tablets above may be cheap but their quality is superb. You don't need to buy those expensive ones anymore. Any of these slates will suffice. Grab one of them right now!

With the said new OS, this handset will allow you to unlock it without even touching the phone's screen. Yes, this is called Face Unlock. You will also get a faster Nexus 7 Accessories with the said new OS.
Another one of its best features is its 1.4GHz dual-core processor. We all know how it is to have a faster processor. Imagine this handset processing everything at the speed of 1.4GHz? That is just simply crazy. It's like using a computer without all of the heavy parts that you have to carry around with you at all times.

Nexus 7: Any Quality Problems?!

Posted by Unknown Selasa, 18 Desember 2012 0 komentar

Having come into the market for over two weeks, Nexus 7 has become the best seller in the current tablet market, especially for its 16GB version, which is out of stock. The reasons for its popularity lie in its low price, fast speed, delicate workmanship and new Jelly Bean system.
However, problems follow. According to reports from many websites, the design defects of Nexus 7 severely affect user experience, including its screen's failing to recognize input information, backlight leakage, part of touch screen failure etc, all of which deserve our attention.
Flaws of the touch screen:
The Guardian says that the following problems often happen to its screen:
The glass on the bottom left of the screen is not sealed up.
No response to continuous clicking the screen.

The screen reacts slowly.
The screen goes blushing and strobing.
Devindra Hardawar, a special contributor of Venture Beat, says the screen of Nexus 7 fails to identify input information in the course of data-intensive operation. This operation includes updating multiple applications simultaneously or starting multiple applications between cell phone and Nexus 7.
Also points out part of the screen will stop reacting when playing image-intensive games. Restarting the screen can solve this problem, and system updating also takes effect in overcoming this defect. Yet, some users hold the opinion that this problem may result from its hardware, thus simply updating software may not be the best solution to this problem.

Backlight leakage
A photo reflecting the backlight leakage of Nexus 7 is pasted by PocketNow. At the same time, AndroidAuthority finds out that no close link is made on the junctions of its screen and part of its plastic flap is exposed outside, all of which lead to frizz when running its touch screen. As for this problem, some users try to settle it by DIY means. However, if maintenance fails, users have no choice but bear the loss.

Other problems
Some other symptoms also occur. For example, the virtual keyboard will automatically keep clicking J or H. Besides, according to Chris Zeigler, it is rather difficult to charge Nexus 7 and no improvement happens when charging it with different plug seats.
Apart from the above, many users complain its shortage of pixel. Google claims that users can ask for exchange for a new device on such circumstance. In light of its current condition in supplying orders, however, it may take a long time for users to exchange for a new one.

Conclusion
In spite of many drawbacks of the Nexus 7 arising one after another, most of users still express their favor for this cheap tablet. They say such problems are under their acceptance because of its high factory cost, near $160, but low selling price, $199 for the 8GB version and $249 for the 16GB one.
Judging from this we can say that the Nexus 7 indeed can't shake the dominant position of Apple's iPad in the high-end tablet market, but it does manage to change consumers' views towards cheap tablet in the low-end tablet market. Google should keep making efforts to popularize its product by solving and improving problems about its products as well as offering good service to consumers.

10 Reasons for Nexus 7 Defeating Kindle Fire

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

According to an analytical article published by eWeek, Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet sold very well during the Christmas holiday last year. However, its sales volume dropped after that period. And now Kindle Fire is challenged by a potential competitor-Google's Nexus 7. Nexus 7 will compete with Kindle Fire in terms of price and size of display screen. The followings are 10 reasons for Google's Nexus 7 defeating Amazon's Kindle Fire.

1. Design, An Essential Factor.
Compared with the design quality of Nexus 7, Amazon's Kindle Fire is inferior to it. Amazon designed its Kindle Fire in an ordinary way in that it wanted to reduce its price. Yet, Google manages to reduce the price of Nexus 7 without sacrificing its external appearance and aesthesis, which comforts consumers.
2. Parameter of Price
When Kindle Fire first came into the market last year, it showed its price value by selling $199 only. However, with the improvement on devices, its value dropped. Currently, consumers know that the price for the product is reasonable, yet Nexus 7 can also be sold at this price. Apart from this, Kindle Fire needs improving.

3. The Price of $199 Makes No Difference to Some Consumers
When Google's Nexus 7 priced $249 came to the market, some people are worried about its feasibility. But that's not the case. The Nexus 7 in the price of $199 caters to those consumers who want to buy a cheap one. But the 16GB version of Nexus 7, costing more than $50 than the former, is out of stock. Google Play Store says that the 16GB version of Nexus 7 has been sold out. Maybe it is not a bad idea for Google to sell its Nexus 7 in a higher price than that of Kindle Fire, more than $50.

4. A Powerful Tegra 3 Processor
Google's Nexus 7 is installed with a quad-core Tegra 3 processor. This processor has high performance and reliability that most of manufacturers haven't developed. Consumers know clearly that Nexus 7 is more powerful that Kindle Fire.

5. A New Operating System
Another advantage Nexus 7 has is its latest Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) operating system. This means that consumers can get a tablet with the latest and most powerful capacity supported by Android. The price of $199 is, indeed, very low. Kindle Fire, however, falls behind due to its shortage of the latest software.

6. Google's Marketing Ability
Google is very keen on marketing its own products. It finds a proper method in marketing its products, which makes it dominate the field of searching, strengthens its advertisement and enables Android to take the lead among its competitors. Nexus 7 benefits the most from Google's marketing strength. Amazon, however, doesn't have the marketing ability as powerful as Google's, and that is the case with its tablets.

7. More Familiar Software Experience
Amazon earns compliment because it adopted the standard Android to be its own operating system. However, considering the success of Nexus7, consumers are likely to expect smartphone being installed with Android system. In the field of tablet PCs, more familiar experience tends to win out.

8. Never Forget Smartphone
Although this problem is always ignored, the main point is that the success of tablets contributes to a new and powerful smartphone. In most cases, consumers will buy smartphones first. If they like them, they will buy a tablet matching the smartphone. If not, they will buy other products. Yet, Amazon doesn't have its own smartphone, while Google does. This is where the problem lies in.

9. Does Kindle Brand Make Effect?
Things may go contrary to Amazon's wishes as it named its tablet Kindle Fire?. Kindle Brand is famous for Ebook reader, while Google's Nexus brand is relevant to mobile devices of high quality. Brand is of great importance. Yet, it seems that Amazon neglect this aspect.

10. Brands of the Two Companies
Here refers to the difference between Amazon and Google. Amazon is famous for retailing with its other aspects no so popular; Google is famous as a searching and advertising company who has been the synonyms for mobile products. The difference assists Google to promote its attraction but strikes Amazon's products instead.

Google Nexus 7 Review and Some Tips

Posted by Unknown Minggu, 16 Desember 2012 0 komentar

If you are considering buying a tablet and would like to learn some info on the Nexus 7 from a real user then read below.
I never was able to justify why I would spend $500 on a tablet when I can get a laptop for $500 and do more on it since it has a keyboard and is a full operating system. But the price of the Nexus and the performance got my attention.
Part of me wanted to see how a 7" tablets felt and what it can help in my daily life, but more importantly I wanted something I can play music on to my Bluetooth speakers with a good sized screen.
It works excellent for music, games web browsing, email and internet. Everything runs very nice and it seems Android fixed most issues from past versions. I also love the latest Google Voice feature. Apples' equivalent which is Siri is something you currently can't get on an iPad. That is one big reason why I'd get this over an iPad. I can do things like say "Set Timer", "directions to" etc.
People don't compare this to the iPad but actually now that I've played around with it I feel you can kind of compare it to an iPad. Initially I really didn't want the 7" screen and would have preferred a 10" but after owning it I do now prefer the 7" because I can hold it in 1 hand. With a 10" like the iPad it's not as easy to hold. It's a nice size for games and traveling.
The Nexus 7 is just as good as an iPad for games and will save you about $200 over an iPad if you are looking for a tablet device. Most popular games are available for Android. Android tablets have not been popular so some apps you might find still need some catching up.
Here are things I feel people might want to know or that I found important.

Home Screen
Works nice and very smooth, they added the feature Home Screen doesn't rotate but this app will fix that for you and allow you to rotate the screen when you turn the device horizontal. It's called "Ultimate Rotation Control".

Microphone
This still annoys me with all Android devices I've tried yet! I thought they would have fixed it by now. If you yell loud into the microphone it gets all distorted more than it should. The Nexus 7 still does this. Now I've only tested it in full on the Samsung Galaxy player. Both distort and annoy me. Apples iPod touch can hand yelling and loud sounds a lot better than the Nexus 7. It takes a lot to distort Apple device microphones. When I say Apple devices I am talking about the Apple iPod and assuming their other devices have the same mic. I do know the old iPod Nano video did have a horrible mic but that is no longer around. Maybe there is a better Android app out there for recording, I'll have to still look around but I think part of this issue might be the "AGC". Some apps let you shut it off. That definitely helped on my Galaxy Player 5. I record me playing guitar and stuff with music on these devices which is why the microphone to me is important.

Speaker
The speaker is pretty good but not blasting. It's kind of like an iPad speaker I would guess, maybe a little lower. I don't have an iPad with me to compare. The Nexus 7 defiantly is not louder than an iPad speaker from what I can tell. My Galaxy Player 5.0 has better speakers. They are a lot louder and more have a little more bass than the Nexus in my opinion. If you are using the Nexus 7 with Bluetooth speakers to blast music it's not an issue. Don't get me wrong you definitely can listen to music on the Nexus 7 you just can't blast the heck out of a room with it like a stereo that no one can talk over. It's a good volume.

Camera
There is no flash on the Nexus 7. There is only a front face camera, no rear camera. There is no camera app on it, but you can download it from the Play Store, just search for "Camera launcher for Nexus 7". Photos and videos are what you would expect from a 1.2MP. Nothing amazing but does take pictures and video if you have lighting where you are shooting. There is no flash.

Smoothness and speed
Yes very smooth! They finally got the Android OS where screens slide and effects are smooth like Apple devices. It sounds like a big fix for this was in the Jelly Bean Android OS. My galaxy player doesn't have that nice smoothness. The Nexus 7 defiantly runs apps and transitions to screens faster and smoother than the Galaxy Player 5.0. You can watch some videos to see the smoothness but I'd say it's the same as the iPad smoothness. I haven't used the latest iPad though so don't take me up on that. Just know its smooth! One issue I notice though on the Nexus 7, which is minor. Is if I'm playing music using the default music player and I was messing around with some widgets, adding them to the screen and stuff. The music hung for a quick sec. I was using volume widgets. This makes me think they need to set CPU priority to the music better or something. But maybe it was just a poorly made app I was messing with.

Wallpapers
It lets you use animated wallpapers on your home screen which is kind of fun.

Mass USB Connection Option
It looks like they finally killed this. This was where you can see your Android device files on your computer like a USB drive. But you still can see all the files and copy files to the Nexus 7 but it's as a device. (On Windows 7) It seems to have caused Double Twist to not work but I bought Double Twist Air and synched over Wi-Fi which worked OK.

Screen shots
Yes finally you can take screen shots without a third party app. They may have had this in their previous version of Android too but it's not in Gingerbread. For the Nexus 7 just hold the volume button and power button for a few seconds and it will take a screenshot.

Music
It has a built in widget called "What's this song" It works like Shazam and is built in for free. The music app seems to be like the previous Android Music app with some little improvements here and there.

Car Stereo
I tested the Nexus 7 with my Sony USB stereo in my car. It recognizes it as a mp3 player only, I'm not too clear on how you would look for songs and playlists though. You probably can't is my guess. I'd prefer to use the auxiliary jack on my stereo so I can't control the music with the Nexus Interface. That works great for me there just no charging.

Vibration:
There is no vibration on the Nexus.

Battery
It doesn't show you the exact charge percent when you have it powered off which would have been good. It only shows you an image that shows its charge in 25% increments. The Nexus battery life is very good just as the specs say.
I recommend charging the Nexus using their supplied wall plug that comes with your Nexus. The manual also says it will charge faster from the wall plug than a computer. This is defiantly true from what I found.
With the Nexus 7 on and connected USB to a Windows computer, it took me about 3.5 hours to get the charge from 17% to 46%.
Something that was strange was I left it plugged into my computer overnight and it never reached 100% charge. It was around something like 92%
But I then tested charging the Nexus 7 with the supplied wall charger plug. And while the Nexus was turned on it went from a charge of 75% - 98% in 1 hour.
So when they say use the wall plug charger you better just use that because it does charge faster. I do have an ASUS motherboard on a different computer I made that says its USB ports give off more power. So I bet that will charge it fast also but I didn't test it on there. Most people won't have that kind of computer.

Notes app
There is no pre-installed note taking app. There are plenty of free ones on the Play Store. I use AK Notepad.

Web Browsing
Web browsing is very fast and uses Chrome. I don't have one to test next to but it's at least the same speed as an iPad. Part of me wants to say it might be a little faster than the iPad 2 but don't take me up one cause I don't have proof.

Exterior
Screen is really nice and I like the grip like backing on the Nexus 7. It makes it feel like it won't slip out of your hand. I can hold it well in one hand. I have average sized hands for a male.

Memory
No SD card expansion slot which is a negative but get the 16GB because the OS uses a lot of space. I believe I had about 13GB free on the 16GB model. So I'd recommend you get the 16 GB model.

Apps
Overall OK on the apps but some still are better on the iPad. For example my cable TV company still doesn't support watching TV on android devices where you can on the iPad. But I think now as Android tablets get more popular they will start making an app for the Android.

Conclusion
So that's about it for now, I'll stop there. So to sum it up, no need to worry about performance issues anymore on Android Tablets. For the price you can't go wrong if you always wanted a tablet but didn't want to blow $500 on one. The most unique thing about this tablet is the combination of having the new Google Voice, the screen size of 7" and the nice smooth interface like an iPad but combined with a fast processor. All those things is what makes it a little different than other tablets including the iPad.

A Look at the Google Nexus 7

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

This device is pushing the envelope for a powerful device at an affordable price. This piece of hardware boasts impressive specs such as an HD screen, front-facing camera, and a quad core processor as well as the new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS. The best part is that you can get it for a low $199. This beast of a tablet is aimed at the 7 inch tablet market, but the aggressively priced device might do more than that.
The goal of this device was to create a device that would attempt to show the potential of the 7 inch tablets and not cost much more.
It was designed to be about the size and weight of a paperback book. With Google’s push into the Google Play market and its media content the Nexus 7 is perfect to showcase everything that is Google Play. Whether you want to watch movies, listen to music, read a book, or play a game this tab will do it and do it well.
Google was partnered up with hardware companies such as Samsung, HTC, and Motorola for its previous devices, but when they were looking into their plans for the Nexus 7 Asus stepped up to bat. Asus heard what Google planned and showed them what they were capable of and Google claims they knew immediately that these were the right guys for the job. Google wanted to mix superior hardware with their superior software to get a result that was both stunning and once again, ridiculously low priced.
When Google’s Patrick Brady was asked why Google tablets hadn’t started to outsell the iPad his response was pretty standard. The statement he made was that in the world of tablets there is no one choice. There are numerous sizes and flavors of tablets and at the end of the day it would come down to preference and need. He felt that there was a lot of content missing in earlier products and they have answered that with their Google Play update. He feels that the Nexus 7 is the best tablet on the market today, but makes the statement that “One size doesn’t fit all” and that there will always be a broad market filling many needs.
When compared to the iPad things seem one sided, but the important thing to remember is that the iPad is like a companion that follows you around filling many needs where the Nexus 7 is made specifically for you to experience and consume media out of the Google Play store. The Nexus is better compared to the Kindle fire and the Nook as that is what the device is meant to compete with. While the Google tablet might not be a multipurpose tool like the iPad, it feels like a very solid device that is perfect for the specific purposes it is designed for and like the Kindle and its like, the Nexus is focused on a certain group and will dominate that field.
The specs for this Google Masterpiece are impressive. It is rocking a 7-inch 1280-800 resolution LED backlit screen, the NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad Core Processor, and a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera. It starts with 8GB of internal storage, but has a 16GB option that costs $250. It has Bluetooth 4.0, a MicroUSB port, accelerometer, magnetometer, ambient light sensor, gyroscope, GPS, and NFC. It features the Google Play Store and comes with 2 color options, white and black combo or just black.
Another thing to get excited about is Google’s recent move with Google Play and how it updates apps on your phone. Currently app markets re-download the whole app, but Google is moving towards a setup that will just download the portion of the APK file that is needed to rather than the entire App. This will cut down on data expenses for sure.
It will be very interesting to see how the market handles this device in the near future. Will it compete well against the iPad? Can the Nexus 7 measure up to the iconic device? Time will tell and I for one cannot wait. With this little beauty you get so much for your dollar that even people who never thought about or wanted a tablet are starting to consider it. It might just be time for people to upgrade their e-reading experience from an app on their smartphone to this affordable beast of a device. We will see it start shipping mid-July so preorder yours ASAP and ensure that you get it as soon as possible.

Apple's iPad Mini Versus Google's Nexus 7

Posted by Unknown Kamis, 15 November 2012 0 komentar

Recently, the iPad mini was launched by Apple as a competitor against the tablet market. The Google Nexus 7 is now the most successful tablet on the market because it has proved to be reliable and excellent in performance while still offering the best price. On the other hand, what advantages does the Apple's smaller version of the iPad offer? Can Apple become the leading competitor in the tablet market? Which is better, the iPad mini or the Nexus 7? Apple is able to differentiate its products while increasing its value to Apple consumers; the iPad mini is of no difference.
Apple was able to figure out the consumer's mind and to create a trend toward what the consumer was looking for: small, cheaper, and better. Apple mini tablet became the new fad that consumers wanted because of its compelling advantages in comparison to the Nexus 7.
The iPad mini is thinner, lighter, and wider than Google's tablet (the Nexus 7). In addition, the material used for the iPad mini is aluminum, while the Nexus 7 is made of plastic. Apple mini tablet overall has a better design and a more comfortable feel than the Nexux 7. The internet browser Safari works faster than Google's internet browser, Chrome. The duration of the battery in the Apple's mini tablet outlasts the Nexus 7 battery duration by about ten percent. Moreover, the IPad mini offers a greater amount of additional features such as: Photo Stream, IMessage, and Siri, as well as Google's Gmail, YouTube, etc. The Nexus 7 only offers a limited amount of features provided through Google.
Obviously, the Apple mini tablet provides access to a number of applicatios (apps) in the range of around 275,000. Of the following apps, a few common examples are Facebook, IMovie, and Air Play. These features also happen to be some of the most important elements that the iPad mini offers over its competitors, especially in comparison to the Nexus 7 that offers very few apps. In addition, the iPad mini offers two cameras: Face Time front facing HD camera and the ISight camera. The ISight camera on the back has five megapixel as well as space for recording videos that have vibrations eliminated. The Nexus 7 also has a camera, but the camera on the Nexus 7 is only a front facing 1.2 megapixel camera.
Research has shown that the Apple's smaller version of the iPad surpasses the Nexus 7 except in a few areas. The Nexus 7 has a better text quality and better screen resolution in comparison to the iPad mini. The pixel resolution is important for reading and watching movies by providing better clarity. Those with good eye sight may not realize the difference in resolution, but those with poor eye sight would be at a disadvantage when trying to read or watch movies. In terms of pricing, the Nexus 7 is priced at a more affordable cost of $199, while Apple mini tablet starts out at $329 and ranges all the way up to $529. In today's economy, the Nexus 7 is more advantageous because of its cost while the iPad mini is extremely over priced. Apple charges more but offers a lighter, thinner and wider design, two cameras instead of one, superior selection of tablet apps, and a longer battery life. However, all those advantages might not justify the cost of $130 to $330 more than the Nexus 7.
In general, the iPad mini is better than the Nexus 7; however, as a consumer, you need to think about your needs and your preferences. If your main purpose is reading and watching a movie rather than the web, Nexus 7 would be a better choice for you. On the other hand, if your priorities are apps and higher speed, the Apple's mini tablet should be your first choice. If you cannot afford the iPad mini or do not believe the price justifies its apps advantages and nicer design, the two tablets are very similar and the Nexus 7 will do almost anything you want.

Will the Nexus 7 Affect Asus Tablets?

Posted by Unknown Selasa, 13 November 2012 0 komentar

You see a lot of people advertising to sell iPad. It's usually for various reasons, but more commonly it is because they need the cash or because they want to change or switch to another brand. With so many models of tablet PCs coming out every month, you cannot help but want to change devices every so often, especially when you see a new one with better specs, functions, and features. The newly-released Nexus 7 is said to be a contender in the on-going tablet PC wars. Does it merit the attention of tablet PC users hankering for a better, slicker gadget?
Nexus 7 belongs to the category of 7-inch tablet PCs. Since the Nexus 7 is small, it is relatively lightweight at 12 ounces. Holding it for long periods of time will not be a problem at all. It is also so small that you don't need a bag to carry it with you, as it will fit perfectly in your coat pocket. The modest $199 price tag for the 8 GB model is sure to attract a lot of customers.
You can be sure of its build quality because an NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor running the Android 4.1 operating system powers it. This means that the unit should be snappy when it comes to executing commands, and in turn, means that playing games and using other applications will be enjoyable.

The Nexus 7 will clearly affect the sales of existing Asus products because of the low price tag. It will also be a strong competitor for the other low priced tablet PCs. A good number of people have already tried to sell iPad and switch to Nexus since it was released mid-July. Since it carries the Google brand, which is well-known, people will not have a hard time trusting the quality compared to the other tablet PCs whose brand are not yet known. Google has actually partnered with Asus in producing this tablet, so Asus can market it as their own mini version of their existing line of tablets, which are all in the 10-inch category.
The Asus Transformer and Slider tablet PC lines are all known for their sleekness, not to mention their multi-functionality. That is because all Asus tablets have an optional keyboard that can be latched into the tablet, making the device look like a slimmer notebook PC. Since they have keyboards, they can be readily used for word processing, something that can be a bit difficult with other tablets like the iPad that do not have a built-in keyboard and are more reliant on the touch screen keypad option.
Unofficial figures have reported that sales for the Nexus 7 have been brisk for its week of sales. If you are thinking of giving Google's gadget a try, you should go to the stores that sell iPad. They will be sure to carry this item as it is looking to be a sure fire hit for consumers.

Amazon 7-Inch Kindle Fire HD Vs Nexus 7

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

If have to make a comprehensive summary to tablet PCs, the only suitable words would be: Not all tablets fit the same size. In this field, Amazon has done very well. At present, Amazon launches its Kindle series, including the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD and the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD, claiming that they are the most advanced devices among the same series. This sounds rather exaggerating, especially when many tablet manufacturers sequentially launch their own new products in these recent months.
The advent of Google Nexus 7 paired with Android 4.1, undoubtedly, represents the entrance to the market for the 7-inch tablets. So, can Amazon keep pace with Google? Judging from its hardware, Kindle Fire HD is not inferior to Google Nexus 7.

Amazon's hardware design
Referring to external appearance, no word but conventional can be used to describe Kindle Fire HD, for this series, in particular the 7-inch version, has not obvious differences from other tablets of the same rank in the market. If remove manufacturers' logos on products, it is very difficult for users to identify which one belongs to which brand. Yet, the pure black body, the 1 pound weight and 0.5 depths as well as the display at 1280-by-800 resolution make it more satisfactory when compared with other tablets.
It is said that the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD has an excellent screen performance, whose resolution is the same as that of the Nexus 7. Amazon said in its press conference that Kindle Fire HD can reduce screen glare due to the polarizing filter built inside the screen. As for whether it can really achieve propagandistic effect, it remains to be confirmed.

Appropriate hardware specs and internal structure
In terms of internal structure, no distinct disparities exist among the Android tablets in the current market. Amazon Kindle Fire HD houses a Texas Instruments OMAP 4470 processor, whose fluent running, as it is said, is supported by the Android operating system of Amazon's own. Yet, Nexus 7's Tegra 3 chipset also works very well. As for Wi-Fi connectivity, both of them have good performance. But, what excites us is that the Kindle Fire HD with built-in dual mode antennas does have subtle difference from other tablets.

The reason for Amazon's success in the tablet market occupied by Apple lies in its ecosystem superior to its competitors. Its consumption platform for digital contents, such as Kindle Store, Amazon MP3 and online video on demand, is regarded to be a strong ecosystem in the wake of Apple App Store. This is a platform that is unavailable in other Android tablet manufacturers, including Google. However, in light of the contents consumption platform of Google Play being established by Google, all Android manufacturers will benefit from such a kind of platform in the future. While many manufacturers are subject to the development of Google, Amazon, however, is of much independence in this aspect.

Know About The Nexus 7 Tablet

Posted by Unknown Senin, 12 November 2012 0 komentar

Rumors had been spreading that Nexus 7 tablet would take center stage inside the Google I/O. And this is what took place. Members of the press were permitted to peek at and demo the device while inside the conference. The unit is ASUS designed and it has minimal branding. Find this device online when it is offered for purchase to all consumers. At the time of this writing you can actually pre-order the Nexus 7 tablet.
The tablet uses the most current Android OS referred to as Jelly Bean.
The cost of this device is at an affordable $199. The specifications for this device are notable too for the size of the unit. Total measurements of the machine is only seven in. long and is stuffed with computing power.
The LCD (liquid crystal display) display features a resolution of 1280 x 800 with 400 nits utilized for brightness. The display on this system is driven with a Tegra 3 T30L quad core processor by NVIDIA. Speed for the processor is clocked at a formidable 1.2 GHz. This really is very fast for a device when compared with competing products available on the market.
Online connectivity is accessible using a wi-fi network using 802.11/g/n. A Bluetooth connection is available also. However, users will be unable to connect the device using WWAN. This means users will need to remain in the vicinity of the wireless hotspot to maintain a connection to the Internet.
Available storage incorporated on this unit is either 8 GB or 16 GB. Total RAM available for the tablet is 1 GB. The price of the 8 GB unit is $199 and the 16 GB model is $249. This cost is acceptable when compared to other equivalent units in the marketplace.
The release of this device mean that users may see prices drop for competing products such as the Amazon Kindle. It might happen if Amazon releases a successor to the current model that is on the market. If you are not considering a Kindle, the Nexus 7 tablet is a viable choice for tablets that operate with the Android operating system.
One particular downside to this system is it is fairly bulky. The thickness is 10.45 mm which is slightly smaller in comparison with the Amazon Kindle Fire. Nevertheless, the weight for the device is 340g. It is quite a bit lighter than the Amazon branded device that weighs 400g.
A big difference between the two systems is the quality of the display. The IPS on the Google branded system is dazzling from any angle. The contrast and brightness options stand out on the display screen even in a brightly lit area.
Consumers that use the Nexus 7 tablet will undoubtedly be impressed with the overall performance of the system. The Google device is comparable to alternative tablets which are available on the market. Starting apps is comparatively fast and so is panning on a webpage. Each charge of the battery will supply the user with 8 hours of operating time. This unit is a wonderful choice amongst numerous tablets when compared to others on the market. Keep in mind, it is under $200.

Google Nexus 7 - The Best 7" Tablet

Posted by Unknown Minggu, 04 November 2012 0 komentar

Tablets aren't really new - yet they have just recently really picked up steam in the market, with the introduction of the iPad putting an eye on the area of tech. A market once dominated by iPads now features many competitors, many on par with, if not better, than the iPad.
The iPad is over 10" making it a required 2 hands to hold and use. It's a bit clunky - which makes the quest for a 7" tablet all the more fun. 7" tablets are much cheaper and even offer crisper picture in HD quality. Ranging from $100 to $300 - you really can't go wrong with a 7". Now which one is the best?
The Nexus 7 is basically a big Nexus Phone - running on Android Jellybean. It's a 7" screen (obviously) with super crisp 1280x800 resolution - making the screen so crisp it's refreshing. HD playback (videos) is some of the sharpest I have ever seen on a tablet, period.
Navigating it's crisp menu with fluent smooth strokes of the finger, as screens transition like butter - because of a feature that allows it to do so. Swiping, pinching, throwing, dragging, is all smooth as butter. No lag as you flow screen by screen at the speed of light.
The first versions were available in 8GB and 16GB, which isn't much. But now a 32GB and 64GB version are available - which is real nice considering this device is Wi-Fi only - so you will be downloading many things. You will want that space.
The tablet features a SUPER fast Tegra-3 processor - dual core. Can you believe that? Some peoples computers don't even have a dual core processor! This is lightning fast tech in a 7" hand sized screen - for less than $200. It's crazy.
Since it is by Google - it is loaded with tons of Google services, which all luckily are really good. GMAIL, Calendar, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google music, etc. Any Google Web app you have ever used, is in a handy dandy really smooth Android App version as well. You better believe that for the Google fanatic who uses every service, you can sync up and get locked in just like you would from your PC. This is what makes this tablet so darn cool.
It's a slick experience and all of this on smaller 7" screen with super crisp HD. You really can't go wrong with this tablet - it is THE BEST 7" on the market, if not the best tablet period.
