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.

New Motorola DROID RAZR family coming soon- JELLY BEAN UPGRADE

Motorola's Droid Razr M (left), Droid Razr HD (centre) and Droid

After Google has officially bought Motorola the company unveils tree top handsets - new additions to its Razr family: Droid Razr HD and Razr maxx HD and the Droid Razr M . It hard to distinguis between the look these fascinating superphones at the first galance and capable to handle more than daily use efficient but prices may vary as they as you would expect higher hardware inside these monster respectively.

Droid Razr M

The Droid Razr M is a kind of bugdet phone with lasest technology built in, thus, is a great deal for anyone looking to pick up an inexpensive LTE handset. It has a big 4.3-inch display spans edge-to-edge, yet DROID RAZR M still fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, making this one impossibly compact smartphone. Texting, emailing, reading, watching — it’s all much easier to do when you have 40 percent more screen space than the leading competitor*. And on a vibrant, high-resolution Super AMOLED Advanced display, everything looks amazing.

Droid Razr HD & Droid Razr maxx HD

The two phones share the same exact specs, however, The Razr HD has 16GB of internal memory and a 2530mAh battery, while the Razr Maxx HD comes with 32GB of memory and a enormous 3300mAh battery. But everything else is the same so that saves a lot of confusion for end users.

The two superphones running on 1.5GHz dual-core processor (Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 possibly) and preinstalled Chrome browser, along with its LTE capacity. The Razrs comes with a Super AMOLED screen, albeit a higher-resolution one, and the same 8-megapixel rear camera. The camera also records 1080p video, and there's a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video chats. Not just yet, each phone comes with a microSD card slot with NFC support unlike the new iphone5. And there's even an HDMI port, which is a nice touch. Brill.

Unfortunately, the phones aren't running on Android 4.1, Jelly Bean out of the box but you can upgrade straight away depends on the network operator you with. That is not impressive and a quite disappointing as the Android 4.1 (Jelly Beans) out nearly three months as the Nexus 7 was released back July 2012. However, as Google owns Motorola! the company had promised an update before the end of the year and  you'd get the latest software first - That is kind win-win game for Moto.

We love that Motorola has adopted this and hope keep the hard work to compete his rivals in the current market.

Worth bite? Stay turned there will more indepth review coming soon for Droid Razr HD and Razr MAXX HD to give you the bigger picture including the release date and prices. Please see below the offical announcement by Motrola to give you a galance about Droid Razr smartphones.

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.

ASUS Google Nexus 7 Review

Are you really thinking buying the new Google Nexus 7, then you should see the quick demo by TechnoBuffalo review on Youtube. However, there are few draw backs on this device that you should bear in mind before you purchase one.

1. Lack of a rear camera plus no cam application to launch!
2. No SD card slot - that means you are stuck with the built in storage 8/16GB. 
3. Connectivity - WiFi only
4. No flash support (UK version) for the time being.

Worthy buying it?
It depends on personal preferences, but we could vouch with this guy for its price just under £200 for 16GB version plus its powerful CPU a quad-core Tegra 3 processor and 1GB RAM. Therefore, if you travel a lot or want something to enjoy while on the move, then Nexus 7 would be the best option to think of in the current market.

Microsoft gives Office a 2013 unveiled

Immediately after the Windows 8 release, it's no surprise that Microsoft is revealing its next Office suite. However, what may surprise us is that Office 2013 is not really designed for Windows 8. It's a suite with many remarkable enhancements, but it is not finger friendly though. 
Office 2013, as expected, is built to work on multiple types of devices, and as a result, the software has been crafted to work via touch, a stylus, mouse or keyboard. 

Price?
Microsoft will be selling them in the usual bundles for home, school and business use, but will also, for the first time, extend the Office 365 subscription to consumers. That means that, for a fixed monthly or annual fee, you will be able to access the latest Microsoft Office software on the Web, and download it on any device, including Macs and PCs, and whatever mobile devices where an Office software suite is currently available.

Please see the preview demo video from CNET below here to experience how it works on programs running on computers, a phone and a tablet.

Google Nexus 7

Nexus 7

Google, the world giant web search has unveiled one the most powerful tablet we have ever encountered. Hence, we can vouch for its worth every penny for it is a combination of quad-core Tegra 3 processor with 1GB RAM and either 8GB or 16GB of internal storage.
However, like other Nexus-branded devices, the Nexus 7 tablet isn't actually hardware manufactured by Google.

Nevertheless, It's a challenge move: Among Android tablets, the company makes some of the best around, but matching the rock-bottom $199 (£130) price of Amazon's Kindle Fire whilst surpassing its scarce specs would be a challenge for any manufacturer.

Hardware:
CPU: quad-core Tegra 3 processor
RAM: 1GB (1024MB)
Display: seven-inch 1200 x 800 HD backlit IPS.
STORAGE: 8/16GB internal storage only
WEIGHT: 340 grams
CAMERA: 1.2MP front-facing camera
PORTS: micro-USB port and 3.5mm headphone jack

Bottom Line:
Pros                                                                       Cons
>Quad core processor                                       >No camera 
>Very fast processor (1300 MHz)                       >The camera lacks flash 
>Lots of RAM (1024 MB RAM)                           >Lacks microSD slot for storage expansion 
>NFC
