samsung galaxy tab the new debut from samsung
Our first introduction indicates Samsung Galaxy Tabs can be serious competitors iPad.
Who does not worry seeing the success of the iPad. People queue to buy, in several countries postponed the launch because of stock outs, and has sold 4.5 million over 3 months of sales. No wonder if similar products are proliferating like Streak and Blackberry Dell Playbook.
Galaxy Tab Samsung actually is not the first tablet that appears after the iPad. If you recall there is Huawei Smakit S7. However Smakit S7 reportedly about to release late next year, while the Galaxy Tab will present to the market in last October.
As an introduction, Samsung Galaxy Tab is a tablet with a 7-inch screen sizes. The screen has a resolution of 1024×600 pixels, so smaller than the IPAD (1024×800 pixels). But the connect screen measuring 9.7 inches IPAD, Galaxy Tab has a pixel-per-inch more.
Actually, calling it a tablet is not appropriate because the Galaxy Tab also has a GSM-based phone function. This facility is supported 3.5G data connection, WiFi, and Bluetooth. In regard to data storage, the Galaxy Tab comes with 12GB of internal memory. If still not, Tab provides a microSD memory card slot with a maximum capacity of 32GB. As for the operating system, Galaxy Tab using the Android version 2.1.
I was lucky enough to get a chance to try at the first time. We still have the ability to probe deeper into this device, but here are some first impressions of the Galaxy Tab ….
Here are some first impressions of the Galaxy Tab.
Multimedia.
Samsung Galaxy Tab could be a fun entertainment center during the trip.The reason, all video formats that we enter into this device can be played perfectly, from the MKV, AVI to YouTube FLV used it. In fact, the tab can play a movie in full-HD format perfectly. Galaxy Tab screen-even if only using TFT-LCD technology is also good enough to display video. Speakers Tab is less special, but as long as you bring earphones, Galaxy Tab will not make you die style.
Soft flow.
We have several times tried to Android-based smartphone, and one of the little problem is a drag-screen movement and not as smooth as the iPhone or iPad.Initially, we thought the Galaxy Tab will face similar problems, especially with the large screen size. However, our expectation was wrong. Galaxy Tab movement looks smooth, smooth, and fun. Responsitifitas screen is also good, as seen from tapping our fingers that almost all detected. By comparison, the Galaxy Tab is not as good as the iPad, but the difference was not far away.
Camera.
This facility is not owned iPad, namely the camera. Not just one, but two.The camera on the back has a resolution of 3MP, while at the front of the camera resolution is 1.3 MP. Camera quality is quite good, including when used indoors. If forced to take pictures in low light conditions, Tab provides a light flash.
Unfortunately, not all things make us happy, there are some unhappy things.. ;(
The sucks
Unfortunately, not all the fun things we have. Here are some of the shortcomings of the Galaxy Tab.
Where is The button?
Somehow, Galaxy Tab does not have a special button or switch to switch off the accelerometer. Just to remind, accelerometer component that detects the position of the device and set the orientation of the screen, whether portrait or landscape. In the Galaxy this tab, these functions cannot be totally disabled, either software or hardware. As a result, change the screen orientation is often beyond the will of us. This makes some usage scenarios (such as reading while lying down) become annoying because the screen kept turning.
Considered Mobile.
When we used to surf, Galaxy Tab always counted as mobile devices. So when browsing the site,we were always brought to the mobile version of these sites. We have used the best browser in Android at this time, the Dolphin HD, but the problem still occurs. Just for comparison, IPAD always brings us to the desktop version of the site.
Despite having several disadvantages, why do we still think the Galaxy Tab is a very tempting device?
Preliminary Conclusions
Although I only tried in few days, I was quite impressed with the ability Samsung Galaxy Tab. In terms of user experience-that we think vital to be able to compete with the IPAD-Galaxy Tab able to perform satisfactorily. The interface is modern impressed, who supported the movement of the screen is smooth and bright screen. The size is a (relatively) small also allows us to hold it with one hand. The facility, Galaxy Tabs also appear more compact than the iPad, such as the presence of a camera and external memory slot.
With all these advantages, there are many activities we could think of by using the Tab. One of them is watching a movie, considering all popular formats can be played this device. Tab is also suitable for use as a medium for digital read, especially if Samsung can hold the publishers of books, newspapers and magazines . This device is also suitable for use as a tool for browsing the Internet, although we expect upgraded software for Tab always go to the desktop version of the site.
google chrome ready to compete with other OS
When computer assemblers competing to boost the ability of the machine, processor speed, storage capacity, graphics capabilities, Google tries to challenge the current waves.
Mid last month, Google’s share of 60 thousand laptops, named CR-48. The ability of CR-48 computer far from powerful. In it “only” have an Intel Atom 455, with 2 gigabytes of memory and solid state drive is 16 gigabytes. Google’s minimalist all-round laptop because it only kept Google Chrome the operating system. Without the application. Because, everything has been stored on the Internet.
“Chrome the operating system is intended for those who live on the Internet,” said Linus Upson, Google’s Vice President of Engineering. Through the CR-48 which is divided into thousands of people in the United States, Google is testing Chrome. This is the first time Google reveals Chrome project. According to Linus, Chrome, which is still a trial (beta), will be officially launched mid-2011.
Chrome is an operating system other than usual operating system like Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux or open source versions. ”Chrome will be a third alternative,” said Eric Schmidt, Google’s chief executive. Chrome is designed specifically to “live” on the Internet. Not just surfing on the net, but also to work, edit videos, enjoy music, or play games all done on the Internet.
And the keyboard design CR-48 was not the same as other laptops. Buttons made for easy living on the Internet. F1 to F12 buttons normally found on a laptop keyboard removed and replaced with a back button, forward, reload, and fullscreen. Caps Lock key was removed and replaced Search. Functions that are always there in your browser.
In line with Google’s ambitions, “kill” the application on the computer and transfer them to the Internet (cloud computing), Chrome is really clean from the application.Want to type a document? Through the Internet, users access
chrome notebook
Google Docs Chrome lives and can cultivate Like documents using OpenOffice or Microsoft Word. If you want to change the look of the photo, just look for a web-based image processing applications, such as the Aviary. No need to bother to download and install it.
Files of documents or photographs that have been touched was no longer stored on the computer, but in the “cloud” Google’s servers. Because all files and applications placed on Google’s servers, no longer need a computer with a superfast processor and extra large storage capacity. Need only minimal computer similar to CR-48 plus Chrome and super-speed Internet connection.
Through Chrome, as promised Google, we do not need to bother to think of safety data if the computer suddenly crashed, invaded by a virus, or, most unlucky, stolen by people. Because, all are handled by Google. You also do not need to be carrying a laptop everywhere, because the data can be accessed from any computer Chrome.Just enter your account at Google, then the computer, including the display screen until the bookmarks in browsers, will resemble your computer.
“The idea of Chrome is really refreshing,” M.G. Siegler, Programming Director of AOL, praise. But Chrome the operating system model is not without problems because the application and its files are stored in the “cloud”, without an Internet connection, Chrome helpless. Joe Wilcox, analyst freelance technology, also doubted all applications and jobs, such as video processing file size is very large, can be brought to the Internet. Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, criticized the practice of Chrome which is considered to promote the unsafe Internet practices as relying of all the data into the hands of Google.
chrome screen view
Now Chrome is still a “embryo”. The Google Team also recognizes so many holes in its operating system. Therefore, like the Aberdeen Group, says technology analyst, Andrew Borg, still far distance that must be taken to undermine the dominance of Chrome for Windows. ”In the short term, effects may not be obvioused,” said Borg.
Pros:
- Relatively cheap notebook
- Not depend mainly on the hardware
- No need to worry about computer crashed, stolen and viruses attacked
Cons:
- No internet connection means no work
- Speed depends on the speed of internet connection
- Can we imagine working with videos/image file which the size can reach to fifty to hundred gigs?
- Only suitable for people who live in the internet
We review Huawei’s latest smartphone, the IDEOS X5, but can it live up to the plethora of Android devices on the market?
Huawei might not be a huge name in the UK yet but globally the handset manufacturer means business. The company is the biggest telecoms manufacturer is China and is second only to Ericsson worldwide.
But big doesn’t always mean beautiful and the IDEOS X5 – the latest handset the company announced back at CES – doesn’t leave us wanting more.
Aesthetically, the phone is very pleasing. A smooth and silky front side with rounded edges, backed up with a pleasant to hold matt casing makes the handset great to look at as well as comfortable to handle.
It only comes in black but this gives the device a classy appearance that wouldn’t ring true in white or some other brash colour.
The screen is entirely flush with the casing as the back, menu, home and search buttons are all touch sensitive and run along the base.
This did cause a lot of accidental pressing though as when using the capacitive touchscreen to scroll through menus or web pages, it often caught one of the other commands.
The screen itself, however, is very satisfying to both look at and use. At 3.8-inches with 480×800 pixels and multi-touch, it does the job perfectly and was very reactive. Again, those buttons just get in the way though – enough that we need to mention it twice.
The camera is an impressive addition. At 5-megapixels and with a very bright flash, the quality of snaps is stunning for what is just a mid-range smartphone.
It is a bit temperamental though as when it takes photos, it decides whether to have a massive delay or click instantly without any manipulation of the settings.
When it comes to the operating system, we are a big fan of Android and the fact the IDEOS X5 runs its latest iteration, 2.2 – aka Froyo – is definitely a plus point.
Admittedly, the Vanilla version is not quite as usable and good looking as those with extra UIs, such as HTC Sense, but it is very user friendly and power economical.
The menu screen in particular we found incredibly funky, with the icons coming towards you as if they were the opening credits to a Star Wars movie. The five home screens give plenty of room to place your chosen apps, along with extra widgets, such as our favoured clock programme.
However, switching between the screens and scrolling in general on this handset is kind of jerky, as is the case with a lot of mid-range Android devices, and this does ruin the device’s otherwise smooth looks.
It is not a powerful phone compared to the number of rivals it has. The IDEOS X5 only runs a 800MHz processor which slows pretty much every activity down on this phone, from the web browsing to watching videos.
Don’t get us wrong, all these activities are possible on the handset but you might need to have the patience of a saint to wait for them to function fully.
Storage is also a little mediocre at 2GB internally but, as with many handsets of its kind, there is the option of a microSD card, giving it the possibility of up to 32GB.
Battery life with this handset is a bit hit and miss as well.
We found it would last two whole days when barely used, but the minute any data is downloaded or the Wi-Fi kicks in, the battery drains faster than a keg at a frat party. We can almost see the battery bar falling away like the countdown clock as it sits on the desk next to us.
The handset is yet to be released in the UK but we estimate it will come in between the £250 to £300 mark when it lands around May time.
It is also likely the IDEOS X5 will only be available SIM free, rather than on a contract with one of the operators.
That is a hefty amount to pay out for a pretty bog standard phone that might impress someone who has never touched a smartphone before but would disgust users of the iPhone or HTC Desire.
The IDEOS X5 is by no means the worst handset in the world but it doesn’t even come close to its higher end competitors. I
t is a mid-range, middle of the road device that, despite its beautiful appearance, leaves us thinking your money could be much better spent elsewhere.
We review 8mm Vintage Camera, an iPhone app that puts authentic film behind your digital camera to add a little cinematic nostalgia to your home videos
The breed of entertainment apps are often difficult to categorise, as more often than not they technically aren’t games, but neither do they serve a particular purpose other than making you smile, or go “ooo!” or “ahh!”.
Just because they’re not beasts of burden doesn’t make these apps any less popular, of course. A good entertainment app can top the charts and take pride of place on anyone’s home screen. 8mm Vintage Camera is definitely an entertainment app, but rather uniquely its novelty functions could actually be of real use in some very specific circumstances.
This is because of the sheer quality of the novelty operations is very high, and not just there to put the “fun” in “function.” It’s an app that takes control of the iPhone’s video recording capability, and overlays nostalgic cinematic filters over the top of the image in real time.
These features give the video recording a host of different dust-and-scratches stylings, coupled with colour tweaks into sepia, or (deliberately) badly saturated film tones. There are five different “lenses” to choose from, which add a rough border to the frame, separate the colours, leak light or darken the corners to represent different types of film cameras over the last century.
The viewfinder shows the applied filters in real time, and never drops a single frame. What you see is what you get in the recording, which is saved to the app’s memory until you move it along.
These lenses can be further tweaked with different types of film, adding the discoloured of the 1970s, the aged graininess of the 1920s, or the pallid efforts of several classic lenses. Each type of film can be used against each type of lens, offering a total of 25 different effects that can be applied to your recordings.
In terms of special effects, you can also throw in a muted mic for silent movies, the classic clicking projector noise, or record the sound as normal. A jitter button also allows you to cause the film to roll on command, icing this beautifully nostalgic photographic cake.
Once recorded, films can be saved straight to the camera roll for extraction through the App Sharing feature in iTunes, emailed out, or uploaded directly to YouTube. All great features that ensure the novelty value of the app is easily exportable.
What’s surprising about 8mm Vintage Camera is how recognisable these effects are. Even if you know nothing about cameras, it’s easy to spot the replicated “age” of the image simply through a lifetime of looking at old photos, speaking volumes about the quality and depth of experience behind its development.
Which finally brings us to those special circumstances where the app ceases to be fun, and starts being functional. Any homemade or amateur-made movies needing these effects in their productions would do very well to make use of 8mm Vintage Camera. Recreating these filters with such quality and believability would be a professional job, but now anyone can achieve it right from their iPhone.
