Dell Streak 10.1-inch Honeycomb powered tablet launched in China for $465

Jul 302011
 

The American company, Dell, has ditched its home country and has released its Dell Streak Pro 10.1-inch Honeycomb tablet in China. This is the first time Dell is experimenting with Android and it has done it with style. The tablet is equipped with dual cameras – 2 megapixels (front facing) and another 5 megapixels on the rear. Along with it the tablet has a 1024 x 800 pixel resolution combined with a 10.1-inch screen, to give an impeccable display.

The tablet impresses with many other specs as well. The tablet is pretty responsive because of the 1 GB DDR2 RAM, a 1 GHZ processor and a NVIDIA Tegra 2 T20 chip.

The physical features are also equally impressive. The ‘Streak’ is having edge to edge glass and has aluminium brushed back. Also, the tablet is pretty portable with a weight of just 700 grams and is sleek enough with a thickness of just 12 millimetres i.e. 0.47 inches.

The streak is in competition with a line of already released tablets. The major one’s include Apple’s iPad2 and Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1, though even others exist but with the kind of specs, they barely pose a threat. The ‘Streak’ surely has the arsenal to take both these tablets heads on with a reply for every spec of the iPad2.

The tablet will hit the Chinese markets within a week. Chinese buyers can buy the 16GB WiFi enabled tablet for a price of ¥2,999, which will be $465. Along with this a cloud storage space of 2 GB is provided. The product will be tested in the Chinese country first and then when a proper review is generated will it be released in other markets.

Motorola Droid 3 Review With Keyboard Open

Motorola Droid 3 was released last week and we got the review for you! Here is what we think about Droid 3 and has to offer as far as specs and info goes. Unlike other reviews you might read we actually don’t favor any companies therefore our reviews are more straight forward. In our opinion it is best to review devices just like you would go to the store and take a look at the device your self.

Motorola Droid 3 Video

Here is video I shot early this morning that pretty much sums up the whole information I am about to share below.

Motorola Droid 3 Review by MWD

As you can see in the video above, this Motorola Droid 3 is very responsive and that is all due to the 1GHz dual-core processor (Thanks god they started introducing more and more duals). The advantage of the dual-core processors is that you can run apps faster, load many heavy duty apps and still get relatively good response time from the app. The disadvantage which is also common on Motorola Droid 3 is that the battery life is not as good as maybe other Android devices we reviewed by us. I played with it for about 2-3 hours used web, loaded Angry Birds, watched some flash website and videos. By the time I was done playing with Droid 3, I still had about 55-60% of battery life left, which is not to bad nowadays.

Pictures are amazing!!! I used the 8MP camera that does have LED Flash and I must say pictures are outstanding, just like you would have a real point and shoot camera. Love the fact that Motorola added the 1080P video recording, because a lot of people do take videos since the smartphones can hold up to 64Gb of storage and that’s a lot of videos to be recorded! (Motorola Droid 3 comes with 16GB internal memory)

Android 2.3.4 which is latest OS also known as Gingerbread helps a lot with the battery life, I can’t imagine even having this phone with other OS version, it kind of makes sense.

Overall people, I love the phone because of the size, storage and especially dual-core processor. But, yes there is always that “but” I do not like the physical keyboard! Now some of you are here with me, but some of you DO prefer to have physical keyboard. Well for those that do love physical keyboard, this phone is bit thiker than what you would usually see on streets.

Motorola Droid 3 Pictures

 

Well if you like what you see, head over to Verizon Store or just go to www.verizonwireless.com website and check it all out. Price on Motorola Droid 3 is currently $199 but am sure that if you look at some sites like amazon.com, wirefly.com etc.. you will find it even cheaper.

Please do tell us what to include next time in our review, and if you do have additional questions please feel free to use the commenting section below!

Sony S2 Tablet Quick Overview

Jul 192011
 

 

Sony is probably the biggest and best Japanese electronic company out there. Yes, the company has fallen on hard times lately due to… eh, the Playstation Network for starters, as well as releasing a whole range of lackluster phones, and the latest Final Fantasy… (Sony has a 10% stake in the company) … But since the Playstation Network’s evisceration, and the small problem in leaking millions of users credit card numbers and other personal information, it seems that Sony has finally started to go back to its old ways of producing tonnes of cool technology. This funny- hip-flaskesque-clam-DS inspired tablet, is one of the pieces of technology to keep an eye out for.

The Sony S2 is a moderately sized tablet, which has the advantage of being folded in half, like a DS, as you can see from the above picture, providing extra portability, and giving your screen an additional layer of protection. While we don’t know much about the screen’s more technical specifications, such as contrast ratio, Sony has announced that the screens are 5.5″,  a resolution of 1024×480 and multicapacitive touch. Your two screens will be powered by a nVidia Tegra 2 chip, in development to be significantly more powerful than the Tegra currently found in the current Samsung Galaxy Tablet. This Tegra 2 is definitely not just for word processing, considering that the device is Playstation certified, just like the Xperia Play. Playstation Apps can easily be run and played on the powerful tablet, battery life has yet to be commented on though.

Running on the latest version of Android, Honeycomb, the Sony S2 also features the usual trapping of modern tablets, 3G/4G support (if you pay more obviously), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc. etc. as well as a cute touch, where an infrared sensor is included to allow the S2 to interact with other Sony devices. A single rear facing camera is also exhibited, but specifications on them have yet to be commented on.

There’s a lot more that needs to be revealed about the S2, before I’d advise buying one though, such as Battery Life, Accelerometer, Memory Capacity… maybe even what the S2 will actually be called first. After all, no-one wants to carry around a device called the Sony Sashimi.

 

HTC Status Quick Review with Specs and Info

Jul 192011
 

Facebook Phone called HTC Status

Facebook, twice the juggernaut that Myspace once was, creator of fortunes, invader of privacy. The Social Networking website has continued to grow from its humble origins, a pissed off college kid’s method of taking revenge. Today, even smart phones have been outright designed for the ever addictive social networking site, with Android producer, HTC tapping into this lucrative market.

Platform Android™ 2.3 (Gingerbread) + HTC Sense™
Display HVGA 2.6-inch touch screen
with 480 x 320 resolution
Network Quad-band GSM/GPRS/
EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900
Memory 512 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM
Processor MSM7227, 800 MHz
Battery Rechargeable lithium-ion battery, 1250 mAh
Camera 5 MP main camera with autofocus, VGA
front-facing camera

The HTC Status uses the Android 2.3 OS, Gingerbread. The relatively fast operating system is aided with excess proccessing power and memory to boot for a smartphone. A 2.6″ screen is a bit lacking however, with the smaller statuses and updates on sites such as Twitter and Facebook becoming near unreadable. On the plus side however, there are quite a few features which will advantage the typical Social Networking addict. Firstly, the QWERTY keyboard, while a slight curve in the device ensures that it can be held for longer periods, without causing hand or eyestrain.

While still being a solid phone, the limitations of the 2.6″ touchscreen really begin to show when playing touch dependent games, such as Fruit Slice, among others. This problem is exasperated with some applications being required to be used in portrait mode. Considering that the phone is permanently locked into a landscape orientation, it is likely that frustration will when trying to use certain applications that require a portrait orientation to be used. The phone features a tiny ‘F’ button, representing Facebook (obviously), and allows easy access to the application. Due to the convenient location of the button, generally users are more inclined to use this button, rather than actually tapping on the application, saving a few seconds here and there.

Two cameras, being front and back facing are slightly handy, when you need a new profile picture for example. However, unlike the iPhone 4, and not being an Apple product, the use of a front facing camera can’t be used to emulate Facetime yet. The last criticism is of the phone’s inability to play Facebook videos, something which hopefully should be rectified by Facebook themselves, or by HTC soon.

Being tiny, while featuring a maxi-keyboard favoring thumb-typers, and an ergonomic body that your artsy friends will appreciate, perhaps after the Facebook Video issue is fixed, the HTC Status might become a good secondary phone, or replacement for your aging iPhone.

 

Android 3.2 a.k.a. Honeycomb SDK released by Google

Jul 182011
 

Google has finally released its Android 3.2 Honeycomb SDK. This is the same mobile operating system which is being used by Motorola Xoom and Huawei’s Media Pad. Now developers will enjoy support and optimization for more tablets, with the help of Honeycomb. As of now, only the SDK is launched but the tools for the SDK will be released later.

The release includes many subtle but useful changes. In the 3.2 version better customization as well as optimization of applications is available for various screen sizes and not just the 10.1 inch one. The new Android has a new ‘zoom to fill’ feature which will render the user interface of a fixed-size app on a smaller screen area, and then scale the pixels up to fill space available on current screen area.

With the help of this recent update, users will be able to load media files directly from an SD card (but off course the tablet should facilitate one), and load it straight to applications that use them. All the tablets running on Android will now support extended screen support API, which will provide the developers with even more precise control over the interface. This will also enable targeting of screens using their dimensions. With all these enhancements, the new API is rated ‘13’ which is one higher than the Android 3.1 version.

A month ago, Huawei launched its Media Pad and claimed it to be the first tablet with Android 3.2 Honeycomb and a dual core processor. Motorola also has started to deliver the Android 3.2 Honeycomb system in its tablet Xoom. Other candidates running on Android which are likely to follow are the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Acer’s Iconia Tab 500 and Toshiba’s Thrive.

Google+ for Android Equals Twitter+ for iOS 5

Jul 012011
 

Today I am upgrading my iPhone to iOS 5 Beta 2 and I can’t wait to see what all bugs have been fixed, while I just mentioned “iPhone” don’t get me wrong, I have android devices at home too.

To me this new Google+ is just as same as what Apple did with Twitter integration on iOS 5. Soon enough Android mobile devices will have integrated Google+ as well, that way people will be able to sync their contacts,profile pictures, emails and what not.

So far I do like Google+ but to be honest I am trying to concentrate more on one social network than others, because If my friends, family and + some 53.000 followers are on Twitter, why would I need to update the same status on Facebook or now Google+?

I have friends that update their Twitter, Facebook and even Linked in with exact same status, and when you have more than 100 “online” friends your timeline spins like crazy.

Anyway, purpose of this article was just to tell you that Google+ will be incorporated on Android mobile devices relatively soon, just like Apple integrated Twitter with iOS 5.
In case you already have Android smartphone, you can download Google+ App, and then wait few months until corporations start to integrate Google+ with the android OS it self :)

What’s your favorite social network? Leave interesting comments in the section below..

Huawei launches 7-inch tablet – Features Honeycomb 3.2 and Qualcomm Snapdragon

Jun 202011
 

Today we witnessed the launch of Huawei’s 7-inch tablet at CommunicAsia which is being held in Singapore. The tablet is based on Android Honeycomb 3.2 operating system. This will be the first tablet to be based on Qualcomm’s 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor and Android 3.2 Honeycomb operating system. The Honeycomb 3.2 version is similar to the 3.1 version except the fact that the former is tailored for a 7-inch tablet whereas the latter can be seen in a 10-inch tablet. Huawei’s new tablet is pretty sleek and weighs just 0.86 pounds (390g) with a thickness of 10.5 mm which makes it a bit more thick than the latest Galaxy Tab 10.1 which is just 8.6mm thick.

The Huawei media tab is equipped with twin cameras – A 5-megapixel autofocus unit on the back supporting HD video recording along with a 1.3-megapixel webcam up front for video calls. The device includes HSPA+ 14.4Mbps connectivity. It has an HDMI port. The user will have 8 GB internal storage and off-course a microSD slot to increase the storage capacity. The audio connector is a universal 3.5mm jack.

The tablet will come preloaded with applications for social networking like Facebook and Twitter. Other applications like ‘Document To Go’ and ‘Let’s Golf’ are also pre-installed. Huawei’s tablet will also support Huawei Hispace Cloud system and Flash 10.3. Huawei worked together with RealNetworks (RealVideo and RealPlayer) to ensure that this tablet is able to play any popular file format. The announced formats include WMV, Flash, Mp3, and H.264.

Though the screen size is on this tablet is 7-inches but still it packs a pretty impressive pixel density of 217 PPI as compared to iPad 2’s 132 PPI, Galaxy Tab 10.1’s 149 PPI and Motorola Xoom’s 160 PPI. Huawei also promises a battery life of over 6 hours. Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1 are also provided. The company strangely has no plans for launching a Wi-Fi only model, which is damper on those who aren’t interested in harbouring carrier data.

Though the company has a share of just one percent in the world tablet market but after today’s launch we expect these figures might just rise for good.

Cool iPhone and iPad Apps When You Are Bored

May 132011
 

I just got back from surgery a week ago and I used  few application on my iPad and iPhone that were amusing me while I was in pain and bored from not doing some other activities.

Dragon Dictation logo and iphone appZite app for ipadNetflix app for iPhone and iPad

These are iPhone and iPad apps I use when I get bored:

Application called Dragon Dictation is the best application I could’ve ever downloaded, reason why I am saying that is because I had surgery on my right arm and wasn’t able to type as fast as I could before the surgery. Dragon Dictation converts the speech to text , I think it does awesome job because I was able to write this article so far without any mistakes or constant repeats. Dictation allows you to copy the text, save the text and as well as post the text to Facebook or Twitter automatically. Friend of mine told me that he is using Dragon Dictation to write text messages while driving, he says he’s more focused on the road and he is able to just copy and paste the text into text message and send it away in 1 second.

Another app that I use is called Zite but unfortunately its only available for iPad right now, hope that Zite for iPhone is going to release soon. I really love that application because it gives me the latest information around newsthat I am concerned about, news that I am interested in, and also it gives me ability to share the links on my Instagram account, Facebook or Twitter.

Flipboard is another cool application but only for iPad, Flipboard app for iPhone has been not been released yet. Flipboard allows you to read RSS feeds from Google Reader, read and update twitter feeds as well as Facebook status update.

Not too long ago I downloaded app called Note Plus, Note Plus allows you to use your stylus on iPad and write just like you would write things on a piece of paper. I reviewed many stylus applications, Note Plus I think its the best stylus app I came across and tested so far.

Netflix app is cool but have you heard of application called Crackle? Well if you haven’t, Crackle is quite good application to watch movies, shows and things like that. Crackle does have a lot of similarity to Hulu Plus, but guess what Crackle is free, does have advertising videos, but they only last for 5 to 15 seconds from what I have seen so far.

You must’ve wondered if I played any games? Yes I did.I played games such as Let’s Golf, Frisbee, Falling Fred and Snooker Club (pool game). As I said above I am currently one handed, so I have to play games that allow me to do so.

Hope you like the app collection above and not get bored so easily with them.

What iPhone and iPad apps do you use when you get bored?

Download and Install Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread OS update

Apr 292011
 

Yesterday android released Android 2.3.4 OS also known as Gingerbread. While majority of Android users will have to wait for this update, Nexus S owners can install it on their smartphone without any problems.

In this Android 2.3.4 version you will be able to use Video Chat that is integrated with Google Talk (GChat) but it also includes the Android 2.3.3 fixes which you can read more about it from Android Website >>

Anyway, those that own Nexus S here is the link where you can download Android 2.3.4 and install it on top of what you currently have. Just to be safe, please backup all your pictures etc to pc before you do any of this.

http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/a14a2dd09749.signed-soju-GRJ22-from-GRI40.a14a2dd0.zip

As you can see above, it is a ZIP file, so download that zip file to your pc. After the download is completed, rename the zip file to update.zip.

Connect your Nexus S to your pc via usb, and place the update.zip on your internal memory root folder.

Now, turn off your Nexus S, ……. turn it back on and hold Volume UP + Power Button you should get to recovery screen at this point. Now you should see on your screen where it says “Update”? navigate to that with your volume buttons and then once you have “update” selected click on power button (dont hold it) click it…

You will see some screens going back and forth… after the whole thing is done, you should be running on Android 2.3.4!!

Sweet, eh?

PS: I would NOT RECOMMEND this update to be installed on any other phone other than Nexus S.

Thanks to XDA’s and Techoncept for image.

Five Productivity iPhone and Android apps

Apr 232011
 

With all of the new and VERY complicated smartphones and tablets, productivity apps have become immensely popular and useful for the average smartphone owner. However, many people don’t know much about the top productivity applications

Productivity can be interpreted differently by different people. It’s direct definition is “the quality of being productive or having the power to produce” which overall, basically means the ability to get things done quickly and stress-free. Here are the top 5 productivity applications for iOS and Android smartphones and a brief summary of each.

iOS  Productivity Apps

1. Tips & Tricks – iPhone Secrets

This $0.99 application is mainly directed towards those iPhone users that aren’t very tech savvy or have never owned an iPhone before. It is essential information in over 120 written tips and free updates with each revision of iOS. The great thing about this app is they keep it new and current. Some of the tips are advanced ones that you would not find on your own.

2. Flashlight

This is the #1 free productivity app store application. It is the most basic, easy to use flashlight that uses the LED flash to its fullest ability. The only downside to this app is that it can burn up your battery if the flashlight is turned on for too long. Strobe/Blinking mode is also supported and best of all its free.

3. JotNot Scanner Pro

Out of all of these applications JotNot Scanner is my favorite. This $0.99 app gives you the ability to scan and save documents, receipts, whiteboards and more all from your iPhone! However, this is not like a photo app at all. It makes your photo a clear black and white document, but you can also have the picture in color. Overall, this app is very useful and can help anyone out that wants to keep and save documents easily.

4. Week Calendar

This $1.99 application is pretty much a better and more equipped version of iCal for your iPhone or iPod touch. Week Calendar provides a calendar overview with a better day, week, and month overview. This application is directed towards the type of people that need to keep track of what they’re doing and when they are doing it.

5. iTranslate ~ the free translator

iTranslate is the best Universal Translator on the App Store today. It includes over 50 languages, Voice recognition, Conversation Mode, 18 free voices, Dictionaries, save & copy, and Landscape mode. Whether you’re doing your language homework in school or just wondering what a certain word or phrase means this is the app for you! Best of all its free!

Android Productivity Apps

1. Root Explorer

This app is just $3.97 and Root Explorer is the ultimate file manager for root users. Access the whole of android’s file system (including the elusive data folder!). Additional features include SQLite database viewer, Text Editor, create and extract zip or tar/gzip files, multi-select, and many more!

2. Swift Key

SwiftKey is a great $1.99 application for anyone look for an easier to type on keyboard. From the Android Store “SwiftKey Keyboard uses AI technology to make typing smart, fast and personal.” This app is innovative, useful, and very easy to use.

3. ADWLauncher EX

ADWLauncher EX is an awesome way to tweak your phone without any rooting or hacking needed. Just $3.35 to tweak your Android desktop. It comes with hundreds of themes, Icons editor to create your own customized shortcuts, and a customizable main dock. ADWLauncher EX is different from ADW.Launcher in that it has a lot of new additions and improvements.

4. ezPDF Reader

ezPDF Reader is a simple, $0.99 app that basically is a PDF Reader! One addition is that it plays both video and audio. One cool thing you can do with this app is called Freehand draw. It says to just long click on the screen to activate and you can change the color and thickness of the line. Pretty cool, right?

5. JuiceDefender Ultimate

Last but certainly not least is JuiceDefender Pro. This app is kind of pricy at $5.09 but still seems like a very great application for those that are having batter problems. It gives you “Absolute control over your battery” and includes wifi control, 2G/3G control and many more!

All 10 of these apps are great productivity apps for many different types of people on two different platforms.

What are your favorite types of productivity apps? Let us know and comment!

 


Samsung Gem In U.S Cellular Stores on April 1st

Mar 312011
 

Well Samsung Gem has been released to public and should be hitting U.S Cellular stores on April 1st. This cool smartphone features Android 2.2, 3.2 full touch screen with advanced anti-scratch, smudge and reflective protective glass display.

Specs Review of Samsung Gem:

  • Weight: 3.85 Ounces
  • Battery: 1500mAh
  • Internal Memory: 126MB
  • External Memory: Up to 16GB microSD card
  • Android 2.2 a.k.a Froyo
  • 3.2 Camera

and that’s about it as far as the cool spec’s goes.

I think it’s a cool smartphone for those that are still new to touch screen or android operating system, otherwise tech geeks like my self do require bit more out of new smartphones that are being released this year. This I think it’s a third android smartphone that has been released for U.S Cellular and in my opinion they should be releasing more.

samsung gem review

Samsung Gem review comment by androidcommunity.com:

The price of the handset is very reasonable, and if you’re able to wade your way through the data / talk / messaging plans US Cellular has listed, you’re going to be golden. This is a solid little phone that, if you gave to your aunt, she’d understand – and she’d want more, too! Like I mentioned above, this is an excellent bridge onto the ever-expanding castle that is Android.

If you are with U.S Cellular, what do you think? Good or Bad phone? Leave creative responses in the commenting section below.

Difference Between Samsung Galaxy Tab and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

Mar 232011
 

Well now that we know that Samsung Galaxy Tab release date is in June, many are wanting to know what the difference is between Samsung Galaxy Tab and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, lets be more specific and go with 8.9 inch Galaxy Tab 2.

Well Those are some of the major differences between Samsung Galaxy Tab vs. the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Please do remember that there is a size difference between those two tablets Samsung Galaxy Tab is 7 inch other one is 8.9 but there is also 10.1 Samsung Galaxy Tab.

I think the proper naming for those will be Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and not Tab 2. The statistics above are taken from Samsung Press Release site which can be found here. It is bit unclear why pictures show as 8MP camera on the back yet press release is stating 3MP?  From Samsung USA page it states this “The device also includes an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera with Auto Focus and a 2 megapixel front-facing camera”. AND then again from Samsung USA page another press release shows as 3MP. So what is it? 8MP or 3MP?
