Upcoming Google Nexus Tablet PC

Posted by aashu Wednesday, 19 September 2012 0 comments

The storm of slender, stylish, smart and light weight fully gadget tablet pc has now become so tremendous that most of the top companies have jumped into the battle field to create and sell low cost but high quality tablet pc according to the demanding customer requirements. Google has also made its entry in to the market by introducing the Google nexus 7 tablet. Though Google has been in the market for selling out mobiles and smart phones in past. But now Google has launched a smart low cost stylish and fully loaded tablet of 7 inches in affiliation with ASUS.
 

This 7 inch tablet pc is a very light weight of about 340g a very light figure as compared to its competitors that are Amazon Kindle fire and Samsung Galaxy tablet 27.0.The outlook has leathery covering minimizing the scratchy effect on the body color is smart black and has a screen giving high resolution of picture to enjoy any video on it. The extra cores present in it has a much faster effect on the speed giving it 1.3GHz, that is more than every tablet has as of 1GHz.The tablet is equipped with the picture resolution of about 1280x800 The operating system used in the tablet is Android 4.1 jelly bean which is an improvement from the past giving somewhat more smoother experience to the user. The only problem is that it takes a little time to start up when the tablet is turned on. The battery life comes up with a larger life after charged fully. The battery has energy efficient components. It can play for about nine and a half hours which is much more than even a 10 inch tablet having larger batteries. The camera issue is not left also. There is a 1.3 mega pixel camera for chat purpose on front side that make the tablet more advantageous then Amazon kindle fire. But it lacks a camera with rear image feature which take it low from Toshiba tablet. Though the picture resolution is much better but the Samsung is on the best side with its retinal image.
 
A major disadvantage present in the tablet is the storage limitation. Though there is a USB port present within the device but still it does not equipped for more storage according to the users needs. It comes with the 8GB and 16GB storage options. In which the 16GB is of much preferred one. As the 8GB hardly come up with 2 English movies in it for storage. So it could be less preferred one for those who want their tablet with alots of storage capacity in it. The tablet is compatible with Mozilla firefox and chrome browser. As the test applied the small and smart tablet has successfully surpassed all other more expensive tablet available in the market. A very effective feature in making the tablet above all is the capacity to function offline for locating Google mapping even when wi-fi is not available. And last but the most important feature that has made the Google Nexus 7 the most popular one in the market is its lowest price. The Google has introduced the most cheap and high quality tablet then ever in just $199-$200.It has caught the market because of its low price and good quality features that are not lower than other expensive tablet available in the market. So the Google Nexus7 is not a low choice in case we consider its qualities and working for its users

Don't Forget to share and comment.

Eric Shmidt, Google’s Executive Chairman, more popularly known as “droid daddy”, recently confirmed Android’s next iteration, Ice Cream Sandwich at the Dreamforce conference in San Francisco. The time frame for the release for this version is slated to be sometime between October and November this year.



 “We have a new operating system, internally known as Ice Cream Sandwich for some reason, which is being released in October/November, which everyone’s really excited about”, 
 said Shmidt.

One of the most striking features of Ice Cream Sandwich is the fact that it combines the functionality of Honeycomb (Android’s tablet OS) with that of Gingerbread (Android’s current smartphone OS). This means that when you buy an Android device – be it a tablet or smartphone – you will be guaranteed of a streamlined experience.

While most features of the new OS remain under tight lock and key, some of the features demonstrated were real-time face tracking and voice recognition, greatly enhancing the camera’s focus shifting feature.

According to reports, the first device to tout the all new operating system from Google will be Samsung’s Nexus Prime. Sony Ericsson will follow suite, as it is expected to bring all of its existing 11 Xperia smartphones (all touting Android 2.3 Gingerbread) to the latest Andriod OS.


Google Adds Click-to-Call to Gmail Voice Calling

Posted by aashu Sunday, 13 March 2011 0 comments


Google has enhanced its voice calling feature in Gmail with an ability to click on phone numbers and call them instantly instead of having to type in the number manually.
From now on, phone numbers in Gmail will appear as links. Click the number, and — if you have the voice and video plugin installed in Gmail — a dialpad with the number will pop up, and you can call it with another click.
Furthermore, you can now call your Gmail contacts by clicking on the little green icon next to their phone number.
Although limited just to phone numbers in Gmail chats and messages, this new feature brings Gmail voice calling one step closer to Skype, which has had similar functionality for quite some time.

Future apps: 10 Smartphone apps we'd like to see

Posted by aashu Friday, 11 March 2011 0 comments


    Apps we'd happily pay for to have in our smartphone lives
“Hey, I’ve got an app for that!” That’s what iPhone 4 users say at least 20 times a day and Android users six to seven times a day. Nokia and Palm users? They don’t talk so much. But how much more frequent would these exclamations be if these fondly imagined apps existed…

See below for 10 apps we'd love to see

1/ Spotify for Windows Phone 7
We’re cheating here: the much-loved music streaming service has been confirmed for WP7 and is in the works now.
 

2/ Oyster Card
Samsung’s Nexus S has NFC tech built in, as will next-gen iPhones, supposedly. It’s crying out to be used as a digital travel card…
  
3/ The One
Set it up with, say, your food shopping list or pizza order, plus your payment and delivery details, and from then on The One button would gift you true one-touch ordering.
 



4/ Archive
Type in your date and publication of choice and this researcher’s dream would bring up the full document.
 

5/ Late Drinking
Annoyed at being suddenly turfed out just as the night’s getting going? This would point out boozers open later than the norm on a map.
 

6/ Parking Space
Updated in real-time, this would use an elaborate GPS and data-checking system to point you to the nearest free car parking space.
 

7/ iLottery
Pay to download the app. After every 10 millionth download, one lucky app user scoops a £1 million jackpot.
 

8/ Cheque please!
Eating out with a big group? Mark your purchases on the receipt with a cross and hold your camera over it. The amount you have to pay will be shown on screen over the total bill, in an AR stylee.
 

9/ TaxiMe
Why do we have to look for available cabs? Shouldn’t it be the other way round? This app would alert nearby drivers – with the help of Google Maps – that you’re in need of a lift.
 

10/ Good Honest Food
UK-wide inventory of small food shops offering the very best in homemade secret recipes, instantly available on your smartphone’s maps app. All similar apps to date only tell you where bloody Pizza Hut is…

txtWeb Launches SMS-Based Browser in India

Posted by aashu Thursday, 24 February 2011 0 comments

For users who are not too enthusiastic to browse the web using an in-built browser, txtWeb, has come out with an SMS-based browser. So if you want to update your Facebook status, check cricket scores or the weather status, you only have to send a message. 

Grab of txtWeb's website

The txtWeb application is like a browser for mobile phones that don’t really use an in-built browser, but rather a text message to give you information. It doesn’t somehow seem to be applicable for images and videos as well, but then if your handset doesn’t support a browser, it’s quite likely that it won’t do so for videos, music and photos as well. Anyway, if you want to update your Facebook status you send a message titled “@face” followed by your status message, for that you’ll first have to register with this service. The message has to be sent to 92433 42000. 

Other services from txtWeb include live scores scores, weather updates, Google news, passport, railway ticket information and more. You can check out the whole list on their website. 

This seems to be an interesting application for those who are using their old mobile phones either due to plain nostalgia or maybe for other reasons. If you do end up using this service, do let us know about your experiences in the comments section.

Google Reader For Android Gets Updated

Posted by aashu Monday, 21 February 2011 0 comments


If you happen to be a news freak like me, there is high chance that you might have used Google Reader for aggregating all news and RSS feeds at one convenient location. Google Reader was available in its desktop format as well a mobile version for handhelds. Google’s own Android OS however had an app for accessing Google Reader contents. That app has just been updated byGoogle with some new features.
The new features include an unread count widget which allows users to choose any feed, label, person, or “all items” and get the unread count on your home screen. Users can then click the widget on the homescreen which takes them straight to that unread stream.
Next up is the News Ticker widget that cycles through items on any stream you want in Reader. Clicking any headline will take you to the article, while clicking the folder will take you to that stream.
Then there is a very useful “Mark previous as read” option that users of the Android app wanted very badly. This option was available on the mobile version of Reader but was skipped on the Android app. It’s now back though.


The app is now available for download on all devices running Android 1.6 or higher.



The user guide of the world’s first Honeycomb tablet has been leaked by the guys over at Droid-Life. So if you already don’t know all that has been said about Motorola Xoom so far, here is your chance to download and read it all at one go. No new or shocking revelations are made in the user guide but DL points out that there is no mention of a required data plan to get WiFi working. You can download the user guide from here.


According to recent reports, it looks like the super-rugged can-take-any-abuse Motorola Defy is finally going to make its way into the Indian market, and is expected as early as January 24th, next week.

Dust proof and water resistant, the Motorola Defy also has a scratch-proof Gorilla Glass screen, making it suitable smartphone contender in the harsh Indian environments. The screen’s bezel is much hyped by Motorola for being remarkably thin, allowing for an edge-to-edge display. While it currently runs Android 2.1(Éclair) with MotoBlur and Live widgets as a light skin, the Motorola Defy is tipped to receive a Froyo (v2.2) update soon.
Specifications include a 800MHz OMAP 3610 processor (a welcome change from the under-powered 600MHz offerings), a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen (rather high res at 854x480), as well as a 5MP camera with autofocus. Internal storage is 2GB, which can be expanded up to 34GB with a microSD card.
For now, rumoured pricing pegs the Defy at approximately Rs. 20,000, something that justifies the premium of the onboard storage, 800MHz processor, and climate-resistant design.
Google Nexus S

The Google Nexus S is the Samsung built lead device of Google’s latest iteration of its Android mobile operating system – Gingerbread (v2.3). It also incorporates a whole bunch of new technologies and concepts on the hardware front, from a Near Field Communication (NFC) chip to a curved ‘Contour’ touchscreen for proposed touch ergonomics.
It has now been listed on two Indian online retailing sites, Flipkart and Infibeam, which list it as coming soon. AndroidOS.in reports that phone will be released by Samsung in India as the Nexus S, a.k.a GT-i9003, with a Super Clear LCD screen instead of the Super AMOLED screen that is currently retailing in the US and UK. It will apparently be priced at around Rs. 24,000 – a rathrgood value for money proposition when you consider the Galaxy S is still retailing for much more than that, making this rumoured price likely inaccurate
