Google's Nexus 10 tablet - OUT NOW!

After the longer waited news Google announces the Samsung Nexus 10 tablet running on the  latest and greatest version of Android (4.2) according to thier own website. In addition to this, Google described to its own tablet as follows:
        "Nexus 10 is the newest tablet from Google. With the world’s highest resolution tablet display, all new multi-user support, immersive HD content and the best Google apps – Nexus 10 has something for everyone".

 

Hardware:

The Nexus 10 is Google’s answer to Apple’s latest event on 23rd October 2012, complete with stereo speakers, front and rear cameras, 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 2GB Ram and either 16 or 32GB storage options. This impressive hardware boats behind a 2560-by-1600 pixel display, boasting the highest resolution of any tablet on the market with a pixel density of 300 pixel per inch, far greater than the iPad’s 264 ppi equivalent. Apple’s ‘Retina’ branding doesn’t seem all that impressive anymore.

However, the device is missing 3G or 4G LTE connectivity, meaning you’ll need to tether the tablet to a mobile hotspot or internet connected smartphone whenever a WiFi connection is unavailable. It’s possible Google will add 3G/4G models at some point in the future, like they have with the Nexus 7, but until then it’s WiFi only unfortunately

Price?

The price sails from £319 for 16GB Nexus, direct from Google's online store. That’s £80 cheaper than Apple’s cheapest fourth generation iPad. At £389 for the 32GB model, the price difference increases even further to £90 in the UK and if that is enough to buy one here is the link  for you to pre-order http://goo.gl/r1VNT from Google play store.

Bottom Line

It is too early for judgement if this tablet stands out among other tablets, however, when you combine the Nexus 10’s price, power, technology and multi-user support, Google really have built a tablet that goes toe-to-toe with other devices in the current market but we will be waiting to see how well the Nexus 10 fares against the others this holiday season.

THD N2-A - an ultra-affordable running ICS - MacBook Air Killer

The N2-A a KIRF MacBook Air manufactured by THD (Thread Technology Company is an ultra-affordable MacBook Air look. You might have to see this look like device, which recently displayed at Computex 2012. Well, we all know that The Android OS is current leading on most mobile devices in the market and yet the Thread Technology Company (THD) proofs that Google’s platform could land on any device.

The Android Book that is what we call, looks like a tablet with a keyboard dock; like ASUS Transformers devices, running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or Windows 8 is due to launch soon, and it is hard to tell the varies between Macbook Air and this astonishing inexpensive device. Therefore, we recon there will be another huge fight between Apple and THD alongside the ongoing lawsuits between Samsung and Apple relating the pattern ownership. Nevertheless, this new ultrabook will only be available few asian countries, for the time being and yet to be confirmed when it is attainable worldwide.

Hardware
The N2-A (MacBook Air look-alike) is  powered a 1.2 Ghz Cortex A8 processor and has a 13.3" screen display (It’s not a touchscreen, as it’s only aimed to be used as a laptop) with a 1366x768 screen resolution. The default internal storage sails from 8GB Solid State Drive, but you can get 16, 32, or 64GB, however, you would expect to buy a higher price, consequently. The device has 2 USB 2.0 ports, audio jack, mini-HDMI port, full-size card reader, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, and also a 3G connection, which is handy if you aim to carry it around a lot.

Price?
You can purchase for the whole package just for $200 at retail price, however, bear in mind, there are two versions this ultrabook, an Android 4.0 version running an ARM CPU, that lasts for eight hours of battery life. And an Intel Atom variation running Windows 8 OS that comes with a dual-core atom processor but extends its price at $249, and the battery only lasts for three hours.

Therefore, we could vouch for its hardware combination, and that is utterly a bargain and good value for money comparing to Apple's Macbook Air hefty price.

Scroll Essential Tablet PC Review -Update



Scroll 7-inch Tablet with Capacitive Screen

Here is a quick review for Scroll Essential Tablet that I posted the other day. Moreover, as I promised to fetch an update for this budget tablet, there you go. Furthermore, the major issue of this tablet is the resistive touchscreen which does not feel as responsive to operate with the finger as a capacitive model, and you have to use with the pen that comes with it. Accordingly, it is tough to recommend. Besides, with regards to surfing the Internet while you're sitting on your sofa, watching a movie on your bed would be an ideal for a low budget tablet; probably, for non-savvy folks. 

Unlike if you're looking for a high-end tablet, then you're looking forward to spending around £350-400. That's a big lump sum...right!.

Thanks to jodyarmstrong, who uploaded on YouTube in May 2011; the current version of Android fairly up to date v2.3. While earlier versions of the tablet were released running Android 2.1. Please enjoy the quick review on Scroll Essential Tablet PC.

Ice Cream Sandwich -Update

Even so, an Adobe representative has confirmed to Pocket-lint that Ice Cream Sandwich will indeed get Flash support by the end of 2011.
