Samsung is noted by official announcement about the release of two new phones with touch screens, - Samsung Star 3 and Samsung Star 3 DUOS. New items are presented as a budget alternative to expensive smartphones, but with sufficient functionality.
Both devices have similar characteristics, but the only difference between them is the support of two SIM cards model Star 3 DUOS. Each of the phones equipped with a touchscreen 3-inch 240 x 320 pixel resolution 3.2 megapixel camera, wireless adapters Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, 20MB of flash memory and a slot for cards microSD, radio and 3.5 mm jack for headphones. The software component includes a web-phone browser Opera Mini, application quick access to social network Facebook, microblogging service Twitter.
Overall dimensions of Samsung Star and 3 Star 3 DUOS - 102 x 58 x 11,5 mm, weight - 95 grams. Battery capacity smartphones - 1000 mAh. The cost of new products is not reported, but expensive (especially in comparison with similar characteristics to smartphones), they certainly will not.
Apple patents “smart” clothes
Modern man thinks himself so busy that he did not pay attention to such things as outdated wardrobe items. And it is not obsolete, because the retro style is always in fashion, and physically obsolete T-shirts with stains and holes, sweatpants with "bubbles" on the knees and other clothing, which we for some reason, do not throw away. Maybe we're just waiting for the right reason? The same assumption puts the company Apple, has received another patent.
The patent describes the clothes, is equipped with sensors that translate the information in some central database. The information is processed and, if necessary, the system sends the user notified. The system records each time a person puts on this very "smart" clothing, gently leading the statistics for each T-shirt, shirt, sweater, or pants. As soon as the number of "equipped" than the recommended lifetime resource, the user receives a notification, that is reason enough to update the wardrobe.
apple patent
In addition to clothing, the patent describes the same "smart" shoes. And in this case, all a little bit more interesting, because the built-in sensors monitor the athletic shoes are not only resource of sneakers, but running style of the owner. If the owner suddenly begins to run "correctly", the system displays a notification to him that his employment may not be sufficiently effective. The specific plans regarding the technologies Apple has not said anything, but in theory it may be a continuation of the fruitful cooperation of the company and electronics giant Nike.
Tablet PC Versus Laptops! Advantages and Limitations of Tablet PC and Laptops
Tablet PC versus Laptops : Tablets are predominantly designed to be the bridge between the mobile phone and laptop but definitely not to replace the laptop or computers. The same ways as how laptop cannot “completely” replace the desktop. If you see at the operating systems of mobile there are only three real players: Windows Phone 7, Android and iOS. Other two operating systems for mobile are WebOS and BlackBerry but both of them are losing their popularity where the WebOS is almost at lowest in percentage of use. These platforms are used well both on tablets (not Windows Phone 7 yet) as well as on Smartphone and they quite sync well with each other.
Advantages and Limitations of Tablet PC and Laptops
compare tablet pc and laptop
Tablets has the convenience of portability and easier to take around for personal or official use. For students to take around in their college campus tablets are comfortable than a laptop or a computer. But once you are back home the laptop or desktop becomes the primary system for everything however your tablet information can be synced to your system (laptop or computer) so that you can always rest peacefully having a backup if something happens to your tablet memory.
So, it is technically understood that tablets cannot be more successful than laptops but it is definite that tablets make certain things easier however the common desktop or laptop cannot be washed out really as it is still a necessity if you need true processing power in accomplishing tasks like graphics rendering, programming, software engineering, etc.
The advantages of tablet over laptop are always concerned with ones’ need. Today there are a lot of people who never care owning a laptop as a Tablet PC covers their need though they have certain limitation but the users’ need might be accomplished within the limitations. If a huge screen or a gaming level graphics support is your need then a laptop could be the choice. On the other hand if you need a mobile computer to use while standing, walking, lounging etc, only a Tablet PC can accompany you for your needs. In meetings or in classrooms to make drawings, take notes, markup documents, scribble items etc without any doubt Tablets are the device that suits your requirement.
No confusion over Tablet PC versus laptops as Tablets are just PCs without mouse and can be operated through touch-screen monitor. In terms of PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) a Tablet PC can replace your laptop which is smaller than notebook and is a portable computer but knowing the advantages of its portability its obvious that it has got limitations too. Back home it is laptop that can fit your needs, surprisingly the wise use of both tablets and laptop can secure your data and both can act as backup devices and keeping your day worry-free.
CES 2012: review of new devices from Motorola!
CES 2012: review of new devices from Motorola!
We continue to meet with the presented at CES 2012 innovations. Scale and the announcement was noted by Motorola Mobility, which is now owned by Google. Under its brand in the near future will come five new Android-smartphone.
All models are updated range of Motorola, of course, running Android. Despite this predictability, there is much to see and what surprised. Results showed four new Motorola handset, or rather, even the four "and a half." One of smartphones, which brought with Motorola, was not a novelty, and previously released a device with a slightly updated look.
Motorola DROID 4
Successor of the famous line of DROID, which is better known in our area as MILESTONE, is the number 4 smartphone. Sad, but he, like DROID 3, is designed exclusively for the U.S. operator Verizon. The device was radio, which supports not only the networks CDMA, and GSM, so that with a strong desire to use them will be in our country, however, "gray" ways. In addition, it is one of the pioneers of network LTE, so that the machine is about to tell in detail.
Motorola DROID 4
Many journalists have already called DROID best available today klaviaturnikov. With this you can bet. However, if not the best, then one of his best deservedly be called. As with all previous Android-smartphone from Motorola, at the time of his appearance, he largely avoids the competition on the part of the hardware.

In hardware terms of innovation is consistent with modern ideas about how to be smart in business class. Powerful dual core processor, large memory capacity, ample storage for content and support the most advanced data networks is clearly spoken in favor of what we see is one of the best examples in his weight class. And with the release of update Ice Cream Sandwich DROID four more will be even closer to the privileged club of the best smartphones of today. But note that relative to the previous model, the device has undergone significant changes are not so. Remained the same display, camera, processor (except clock), and most wireless capabilities.
Keyboard Motorola DROID 4
Design a painfully familiar, at least three previous models DROID. The body is made from high quality black plastic, which is typical for models of the business class. In terms of the size of a smartphone has become a little wider and longer, but significantly gained weight, albeit a little "lost." The screen is quite good, but nothing more. Below the display are four keys typical for Android. And in the center of attention, of course, QWERTY-keyboard.
The large square keys are somewhat similar to the island keyboard laptops. Each of them is illuminated white, not only through the applied notation, but also on the perimeter.
Sidebar Motorola DROID 4
In terms of ergonomics, smart and on top. Confused, of course, its considerable weight, but strong masculine hands (and DROID obviously not created for women), it is quite appropriate. In addition, the large display makes operation very easy. Sales of Motorola DROID 4 start in the first quarter of 2012. I think that, like all the "drones", this smartphone will become very popular, especially at home.
Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX
Another Android-smartphone, which has brought Motorola to exhibit significantly stands out from the crowd of numerous such devices with one unique index - huge capacity battery.
Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX front and rear
RAZR MAXX does not have analogues on this indicator. It was no joke: the battery capacity is 3300 mAh. However, the smartphone has other advantages.

| Battery | Li-Ion, removable, 3300 mAh |
| Dimensions and weight | 130.7 x 68.9 x 9 mm, 145 g |
It is amazing how the creators managed to equip the DROID RAZR MAXX such a big battery with such a modest scale. Externally, the smartphone is very similar to all other devices of the family DROID, but compares favorably with a small thickness. The structure of the body resembles that of Nokia N8 through the beveled corners.
Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX in perspective
In general, a fairly wide body, which is not surprising, given the screen size - 4.3 inches. The display is very good: large size, high resolution and technology Super AMOLED screen makes DROID RAZR MAXX one of the best available today. Reserve enough brightness for comfortable operation, even in bright sunlight. If you add a cover glass Gorilla Glass, it turns almost ideal. Underneath the display are identical to the previous model sensor control keys.
It makes no sense to describe the hardware platform, it is almost identical DROID 4. However, there is one major difference (besides the aforementioned battery pack). It is a combined navigation module, which, in addition to GPS, has supported the Russian GLONASS system.
The thickness of Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX clearly
In terms of ergonomics smartphone is questionable impression. On the one hand - and a great quality screen, slim body and a huge battery life. On the other - larger sizes that make DROID RAZR MAXX is not very welcome in your pocket. However, in recent years in the world mobilprome tendency to produce smartphones with even larger dimensions, so that in the context HTC Titan and Samsung Galaxy Note, our hero is not such a major one. Everything is relative after all.
Battery life is fascinating. In offline mode, the phone can remain operational for more than two weeks, and the talk time - 21 hours. The latter figure is by far a record. What, in fact, sought Motorola, encroaching on the laurels of Philips and supplying DROID RAZR MAXX so capacious battery.
As DROID 4, novelty is intended primarily for Verizon and will be available in the coming months. About the Russian market still can not hear anything, but let's hope that soon we will be able to see it.
Motorola Defy Mini
Motorola smartphone has got another device that is protected from external influences, along with the Defy and Defy +. New feature called Motorola Defy Mini, which explicitly makes it clear that it is somewhat easier than with the older models.
Motorola Defy Mini in a "natural" form
The main advantage of these smart phones - their security, not the hardware. Obviously, the Defy Mini substantially loses released a few months ago Sony Ericsson Xperia Active.

| Processor | One core clock frequency of 600 MHz |

| Dimensions and weight | 109 x 58.5 x 12.6 mm, 107 g |
Very much in the hardware stuffing your smartphone to date looks archaic. In particular this applies to the camera.
Faceplate Motorola Defy Mini
Does not inspire confidence and weak by today's standards processor with a clock frequency of 600 MHz. However, it has also a positive point: very long battery - for three weeks. The screen uses a TFT-matrix, and has a modest resolution of 320x480, which is typical for displays, entry-level smartphones. On top of it is protected by glass Gorilla Glass.
The rear panel Motorola Defy Mini
In terms of appearance Motorola Defy Mini is simple and somewhat similar to cheap smartphones Samsung. The body is made of soft touch plastic, black and silver. By the way, would not be quite correct to make the smartphone from the expensive and spectacular-looking materials, if known in advance that he will fall into various scrapes. Nevertheless, the aforementioned Xperia Active looks much more effective.
As for the Motorola Defy Mini as a companion for outdoor enthusiasts, here he must show himself very well. Protected on all sides, so even with the battery life, the smartphone will have on the disposition of this category of users. European sales of the device will start in February. Price is not specified.
Motorola Motoluxe
The latest novelty, cooked for us by Motorola, is a compromise between functionality and price - I must say, very good compromise. When the external effectiveness and good value complete Motorola Motoluxe be significantly lower than in solutions with similar functionality from other manufacturers. Most likely, the U.S. and Europe smartphone will be issued free of charge at the conclusion of a two-year contract.
Faceplate Motorola Motoluxe
I must say that Motoluxe not quite correct to call a novelty. In November last year, the smartphone was introduced in China under the name XT615, but the market still do not have time. Perhaps the sale of two twin brothers will begin at the same time.

Motoluxe austere but elegant. Housing smartphone rectangular shape with a slight rounding at the corners. In general, look pretty attractive, but the device will look good only in male hands. The body is made from high quality plastic, which has little texture, reminiscent of a book cover.
Motorola Motoluxe. Back view
Front panel of the smartphone is very similar to that of the first model, DROID, but has its own "twist" in the form of asymmetry in the lower part. For management, but the touch screen, there are all the same four softkeys. The display itself is good, but far from ideal - it is a large, standard-definition 854h480, but is made by TFT technology and is not well read in the sun.
In hardware terms this is an easy dissonance. Motoluxe was not the most advanced processor with 800 MHz and 512 MB of RAM. Due to the fact that the processor is already rather out of date, smartphone, equipped with an excellent 8-megapixel camera can not capture video either in 1080p, or even at 720p. Well, the trade-offs are not always pleasant. With regard to communications, they are at a decent level.
Motorola Motoluxe
Ergonomics at the height of the smartphone. This is facilitated by the optimal size and a fresh user interface Moto Switch 2.0, which is the next stage of development Motoblur. Overall impression of the device are also positive, except for some hardware nuances that I wrote above. Sales of Motorola Motoluxe, as Defy Mini, will start in February. Unfortunately, the price not yet known.
Results
Motorola well prepared for CES 2012. Presented novelty can meet the needs of almost any user. Among others, the only openly female model, which, however, is not so bad: the company released earlier with ultra-slim RAZR which now will be sold in a pretty purple color.
Motorola RAZR in the purple version
Due to such wide coverage of Motorola can improve their situation, which in recent years has been so disappointing that led to the accession of the company to Google. Of course, everything will depend on the value of new products, but it is likely that prices will be adequate.
Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S III lit up the video from the show
As we already mentioned in the news, soon expected to announce a new flagship smartphone from Samsung Electronics Company - Samsung Galaxy S III , perhaps, the model will be presented at the MWC 2012 in February. However, it is lit up at the press conference the manufacturer at the recent exhibition of CES. Although the device is visible on the video presentation for a few seconds and it is not clear whether this Samsung Galaxy S III, but at least, the device was not previously known, so it is possible that this is the new flagship.
Samsung Galaxy S III
You may notice that the device actually looks like a Galaxy representative of the ruler of a new generation. It is equipped with a large display with a slim bezel. Moreover, the context is clear that this is a smartphone, not a media player or something like that - we are interested in a piece of the video explains how to remotely control a camera provided at CES Samsung WB850F by telephone and an example is given that the most mysterious image of a possible Samsung Galaxy S III . Enjoy this gorgeous spectacle can be starting 7 minutes 11 seconds of video, though not for long.
Recall on the characteristics of the upcoming new know some unofficial details. It is assumed that the machine receives the operating system Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich , quad-core processor, touch screen display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (Super AMOLED Plus) and 12 megapixel integrated camera.
Look at new Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S II HD with 720p
Samsung has previously submitted a smartphone Galaxy S II HD LTE for the Korean market, plus the recent U.S. operator AT & T announced a model Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD. Now, apparently, a variant of these devices will appear in the UK, and perhaps in some other countries.
Samsung Galaxy SII
In particular, the British retailer Mobicity posted on its website information on the Samsung Galaxy S II HD (E120s), but then it was removed. However, soon after the details were found on the Australian site Mobicity. Samsung Galaxy S II HD is equipped with high-resolution screen - 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD, 1280x720 pixels, it is quite clear hints of his name.
The device is running an operating system Android Gingerbread 02/03 , built on a dual core processor with 1.5 GHz, equipped with 8 megapixel camera and a battery capacity of 1850 mAh. Sales of the new smartphone, at least in the Australian online store Mobicity, has already begun. Cost of Samsung Galaxy S II HD is 749 Australian dollars there without a contract with any operator, is equivalent to about 778.5 U.S. dollars. But we can not exclude the possibility that this is just a "gray" machines, imported from the native Korean market, especially considering that the code is entered in the E120s labeling scheme Samsung in Korea.
The new iPad tablet 3 is announced in early February
Japanese blog Macotakara said, referring to Asian suppliers and U.S. sources that Apple is planning a special event with a presentation of its new tablet iPad 3 in early February. In this issue of the device is scheduled for early March. Recall that in last year's announcement of the tablet iPad 2 was held March 2 , as well as the announcement of the new operating system iOS 03.04 , and its release - March 11 . Now, however, to produce a new generation of tablet is expected to be released to coincide with the final version of the software platform iOS 05.01, which is now being tested. It was on her, as expected, and will operate a new tablet.
CES 2012: Hot news on Windows Phone 7 HTC Titan II and Nokia Lumia 900
A typical course for many producers - to present their new products (if not all, at least part of) the day before the exhibition. Thus party guarantees attention from the media do not risk that his newsroom occasion get lost among the others. So it was at CES, so it will be at MWC.

Nokia Lumia 900
At different times, so there were a variety of companies, well, in case the current in these days of CES 2012 in Las Vegas on that path went Nokia, announced the new smartphone Lumia WP7-900. Numbering of models is logical to assume that this is a direct heir Lumia 800, issued in October last year. However, when meeting with the novelty, it is clear that it is not a typical example of the update. Innovation is not so much.
Lumia 900 Nokia booth at CES 2012
Take, for example, the external appearance. It seems that Nokia decided to consolidate corporate identity Lumia, unify it for the line. By the hallmark series include Unibody-housing and polycarbonate as the main material used. We liked design N9, and then Lumia 800 - just like Lumia and 900. The smartphone is pleasant to the touch, gives the impression of a strong, sustained damage to the model. In addition, it is very ergonomic: rounded side faces, rather than upper and lower bounds (as it is often). The exhibition joke that Nokia has decided to be different from the Apple and therefore "licked" the other angles - but objectively it is a very good solution.
Nokia Lumia 900
If we compare the Lumia Lumia 900 800, it is important to note two differences. First - it's increased dimensions: 127.8 x 68.5 x 11.5 mm to 116.5 x 61.2 x 12.1 mm. As can be seen on the characteristics of the new smartphone even a little thinner than its predecessor. Weight increased from 142 to 160 grams, which, of course, well there. The second addition - the front camera for video calls. Its resolution is 1 megapixel.
Characteristics of the main camera have not changed: an 8-megapixel module with optics Carl Zeiss, 28mm and aperture 2.2. The user also has a dual LED flash.
We now turn to the display. It is because of the display Lumia Lumia larger 900 Steel 800. As in many other models of hi-end level, the screen is protected by glass Gorilla Glass. Matrix is the technology Super AMOLED, in addition, Nokia says the use of technology ClearBlack. The technology comes to having a special coating on the screen that makes blacks more profound (as in the plasma TV). By definition pictures Lumia 900 and inferior to his "cousin", and iPhone 4/4S, and in the future - the new flagship Android-smartphone models from different manufacturers with conventional standard resolution of 1280x720 pixels.
In terms of hardware features Lumia 900 does not offer anything new - it has a single core processor with Scorpion 1.4 GHz, a graphics accelerator Adreno 205. RAM is 512 MB, 16 GB user. This built-in memory, no expansion slots, like Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia N9.
But perhaps the most fundamental difference between 900 and Lumia Lumia 800 - support for LTE. Recall the use of LTE networks can download data at speeds up to 50 Mbit / s, send up to 25 Mbit / sec. For comparison, using the profile of HSPA + Speed transfer and shipment will be 21 and 5.76 Mbit / s, respectively.
Nokia Lumia 900
The software also does not include anything new. In the role of the software platform is still used Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, with the already familiar interface Metro. Nokia expanded its range of standard software applications Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive, designed for navigation. Also in the standard package added proprietary applications CNN and ESPN, which met earlier in the Symbian-smartphones Nokia.
What is interesting is entered into an agreement with EA release 20 games for Windows Phone. As the release of these games will get their first smartphone was Lumia - a bonus that Nokia will try to distinguish themselves from other manufacturers in the category of Windows Phone. The advantage, in our opinion very questionable.
Lumia 900 is primarily intended for the U.S. market. This is shown by many factors: the "keynote address," Elop intention to re-discover America, and start selling it at one of the U.S. operators (AT & T) c likely delay the European release, and, finally, the rate at LTE. So far, this profile is not used actively network in Europe and across the Atlantic.
HTC Titan II
One day, the Nokia HTC has demonstrated its LTE-smartphone on the Windows Phone Mango - Titan II. It seems, CES 2012 will mark a new round of competition among manufacturers of smart phones - now the focus is on technology, LTE. On the one hand, this is due to reach maximum level in the technology race, on the other - by the spread and put into commercial operation in the fourth-generation networks around the world.
A little before we became acquainted with the novelty Nokia Lumia 900, which was found to not be symbolic of changes compared to its predecessor - Lumia 800. Titan II, by contrast, would be interesting even without the support networks of LTE.
HTC Titan II
Like the original Titan, a new smartphone is very big, if not great. The display is as much as 4.7 inches, and perhaps this is a reasonable maximum for that device was a smartphone. A little more, and would have made smartshet like Samsung Galaxy Note.
The developers managed to reduce the weight of the new model smartphone with 160 g to 147 Virtually the entire body is made of a Titan II for HTC traditional plastic with soft-touch coating. Externally, Titan II is a little fresher predecessor, as the foreground color is selected body light gray.
Display settings are compared with the original model did not change. With such an impressive diagonal matrix resolution is no longer in wow-effect. It remains at 800x480 pixels. It turns out that the density of pixels in this display is 199 pixels / inch. Most fans will have a clear picture is not for everyone. Fortunately, this is the only major gripe with respect to the display - the rest of the Super LCD matrix pleases. Color reproduction and rich at the same time natural, viewing angles close to 180 degrees.
The hardware is also not new news - it's Scorpion processor with 1.5 GHz, 512 MB of RAM. With the addition of a module LTE in Titan II uses an updated chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon S2. Titan II software also devoid of any novelty - used a well-known operating system Windows Phone 7.5 Mango.
HTC Titan II
In addition to supporting LTE, a Titan II is another strong trump card. This is his camera. Its resolution sets new record for mobile devices and up to 16 megapixels. Thus, the maximum photo resolution is 4640 x 3480 pixels. Photomodule built on the sensor on the back illumination for better quality when shooting in dim light. Judging by the first reviews, Titan II could claim leadership not only in the race numbers - the quality of received frames exceeds photos, taken on other smartphones. Argue with him on the picture quality can Sony Xperia S and iPhone 4S. However, both the smartphone markedly inferior to the resolution.
The smartphone allows you to record video at resolutions up to 720p (sorry, that was not implemented support for Full HD). In addition, there is a front camera with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels, which is slightly better than the Nokia Lumia 900.
CES 2012: Tablet Lenovo and other Android-news
Lenovo products on the Tablet market has not been widely represent
CES 2012 news
ed. But the company is clearly trying to produce innovative solutions that can move it forward. At CES 2012 was seen several of these.
To present a truly unique product that can outshine even "unattainable» iPad, but at least something from Samsung, Lenovo has not yet succeeded. But the company is trying, and obviously not going to give up what we see on those shown at CES 2012 solutions.
Lenovo IdeaTab S2 caused a feeling of deja vu. Just open the review ASUS Transformer Prime, to determine the causes of such feelings. However, it is unlikely ASUS will be sued for copying the design (hello, Apple!) - Devices still differ, and are similar only in the idea.
Lenovo IdeaPad S2
So, IdeaTab S2 - a 10-inch tablet based on Android 4.0, which comes with a keyboard, a dock, where there are additional connectors and battery.
Specs do not differ from the actual counterparts - for example, a brand new 28 nm dual-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon, clocked at 1.5 GHz. The thickness of the shell plate is only 8.7 mm, and weight - 580 grams. All this is quite good, but some of our competitors have gradually master the quad "open spaces".
Lenovo IdeaPad S2. Back view
Of the other characteristics can be identified using IPS-matrix for the 10-inch screen resolution of 1280x800. Also nothing special, as is the case with one gigabyte of RAM. The volume of solid-state disk does not exceed the value of 64 GB. Also promise to plug microHDMI, 5.0 and 1.3-megapixel rear camera and front, respectively. Well, Doc, apart from additional 9:00 of autonomy, would provide the owner of the tablet a couple of ports, USB, card reader for full-size cards SD, keyboard and touchpad.
Much more interesting is the tablet Lenovo LePad K2010 (or IdeaTab K2). In size it is almost the same - 10.1 inch display, although the device has a frame slightly wider than the S2. More importantly - a screen resolution of 1920x1200 pixels. Matrix type - IPS. With similar products made only as long as Acer (IconiaTab A700), so that Lenovo in the forefront.
As the processor uses a brand new quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3, clocked at 1.3 or 1.6 GHz (depending on the modification of the tablet.) Throw in 2GB of RAM, and Android 4.0 and obtain one of the most advanced devices on the market. The only pity is that so far he «China only» - exclusive to Asia.

For a more mainstream Lenovo already made the plates showed LePad S2005, S2007 and S2010. First, we recall, something like the acclaimed 5.3-inch smartphone (or tablet yet?) Samsung Galaxy Note. S2005 is worth almost as much, but clearly more modest performance. Thus, the screen resolution at this "lepada" only 800x480 at 5 inches diagonally against a 1280x800 Note. Throw in Android 2.3.5, 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, gigabytes of RAM, and you get interesting, but slightly overpriced model.
Lenovo LePad S2010 and S2007
Lenovo S2007 and S2010 are the most ordinary tablets based on Android 3.2. The first is equipped with a 7-inch screen, while the second - a 10-inch. Both resolution of 1280x800 pixels, matrix type - IPS. Qualcomm dual-core processor 1.5 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and a pair of cameras are also included.
Lenovo S2
The smartphone market in general, while Lenovo bypasses. It is not surprising - without relevant experience do they have nothing. Example HP to excellent confirmation. But the novelty company still presented. This time she managed without the series and just called the phone S2.
S2 - pretty nice tube with a rounded upper end and a 3.8-inch WVGA-screen. It features a dual-core 1.4 GHz processor Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255. It is expected that the new product will be available in two versions: the first - with 512 MB of RAM and 8 GB of flash memory, while the second option would double these values. In addition to standard microUSB connector and 3.5 mm audiodzheka present microHDMI. Rear camera has a good resolution of 8 MP. While that is installed on a smartphone Android 2.3, but updated to version 4.0 is also planned.
Lenovo IdeaTV K91
And at the end of a few words about another Android-devayse shown Lenovo at CES 2012 - TV IdeaTV K91. Novelty is declared as the world's first TV with Android 4.0. Inside it hides a 1.5GHz dual-core chip Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8060, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB of flash memory. In general, the usual smartphone or tablet, with only a 55-inch non-touch screen. In addition, the TV set displayed a card reader SD, 100 Mbit / s port Ethernet, HDMI, connectors USB, at the same time there is a built Wi-Fi controller. IdeaTV is something of a "smart TV", which today sell Samsung, LG, Philips and other manufacturers. Lenovo so far in this market is not seen, but the way she said it chose not bad - Android still active in this field does not apply.
Lenovo IdeaTab S2
Tablets are more and more popular.
In 2011, according to preliminary estimates, the world has been realized from 50 to 60 million tablets.
Growth relative to 2010-th, when it was sold 17.6 million units, up over 250%. The most popular mini-computers Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy tab: is estimated that in the past year, Apple's share of world markets has exceeded 70% of the tablet. In 2012, experts predict, the rate drops to 67% in 2015 - up 45.6%.
Tablet PC
But this year, analysts Gartner, delivery tablets than 100 million units, with about 5 million will buy those who already have a tablet. By mid-decade, the world market for tablet PCs could reach 330 million units.

In the sale of Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G , is expected to come in the second quarter, the price to be announced.
Testing Apple iPhone 4S

Speaking about the new features in iPhone 4S, Apple a little disingenuous, adding to them the possibility of iOS 5. Slyness, we believe that, for the reason that iOS 5 is free to put on the iPhone 4, and even on 3GS, as well as on the last two generations of iPod touch. In the near future, we will prepare a separate article, which describe in detail about the new features iOS 5. Now we just focus on the unique features of iPhone 4S and its differences from the previous model .
Equipment, design and screen
iPhone 4S comes in a box, almost identical in appearance package with the iPhone 4. The fact that this is a new model that shows only the letter S in a silver box (on the left and right sides of the box) and the icon at the bottom iCloud (front) side.
iphone box
Inside the box, all the familiar and predictable: headset, cable for PC connection, battery charger (note that if you buy iPhone abroad or in the "gray" of suppliers, you have to buy an adapter for the plug). Two booklets, located in a white envelope, containing a minimum of information and useful unless the newcomers, but the metal clip is useful for the SIM-card. As in last year's model, it uses MicroSIM.
iphone 4s complectation
As for the appearance of the iPhone, then he compared with the previous year has remained virtually unchanged. Is that a bit has changed the location of some elements on the side of the metal edging (for example, mute button now to a few millimeters below). But it shows more about changing the location of the phone antenna, which was announced at the presentation.
iphone 4s difference
Like the iPhone 4, the new model is available in white and black colors.
For people who like to show others the latest gadgets, the disappointment is the fact that the new iPhone is nowhere stated that this model is 4S, instead of 4. Therefore, you would not tell a person with iPhone 4S in the hands of the owner of the iPhone 4.
The screen also remained unchanged. However, why change when competitors for the year could not oppose anything the iPhone 4 in this parameter? The number of dots per inch (328) remains inaccessible to other manufacturers, and, moreover, IPS-matrix (or something similar in color reproduction and viewing angles) can also be found far from everywhere. However, in fairness, we note that at the instance of iPhone 4S, which was on our test, the screen was a little lighter than the iPhone 4. But first, it can be seen only in a direct comparison, and secondly, it may be simply due to the fact that the screens of different parties. Not be ruled out that if we took another iPhone 4, there would have been too light a screen.
Performance
Another widely publicized feature of the new iPhone - performance. Apple has equipped the new smart SoC Apple A5, which, unlike the A4, a dual-core. Thus, if the iPhone 4 in performance approximately equivalent to the first iPad, iPhone 4S then got to the iPad 2. Let's check in practice, how significant growth has turned out!
In comparison, will participate iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, and last year's iPod touch. All three devices were running iOS 5.0. At the same time, by the way, check to see how critical the smaller the amount of RAM in the iPod touch. As a benchmark we used the following applications from the App Store: 3D Benchmark (3DBench), GLBenchmark 2.1.0 (trial version), GeekBench 2.1.9 (trial version), CPUBench and Linpack Benchmark. In addition, we used a browser-test SunSpider 0.9.1. So, what do we got?
Free 3D Benchmark uses vosmisekundnuyu stage of the game Defend London (you can buy it in the App Store). Unfortunately, the duration of the test can not be adjusted. So plan ahead for a large error. We ran the test on each device three times. The table shows the best results for each participant. The top line - the number of frames per second, lower - the time of the test.
| iPhone 4S | iPhone 4 | iPod touch in 2010 |
| 60,192486 fps | 59,285522 fps | 56,542412 fps |
| 8,290071 sec. | 8,416895 sec. | 8,825233 sec. |
As you can see, the results do not differ much. In this case, the error in the case of the iPhone 4S was less than 1 frame per second (the worst outcome - 60,120571 fps). The iPhone 4 error was around 2 fps, while the iPod touch as much as the scatter of results was 5 fps (worst start - 51,357391 fps). How to interpret the results of the test 3D Benchmark? In principle, it is clear that the iPhone 4S all starts better than the iPhone 4, while the iPod touch - worse than both the iPhone. But, first, the difference is really very small (approximately at the level of error). And secondly, it clearly does not disclose the performance of iPhone 4S in full.
The next benchmark will GLBenchmark 2.1.0. This is a serious professional test, which is used in Apple. For clarity, we present the results in Table 4 and only iPhone iPhone 4S, as to the results of iPod touch, then, looking ahead, say that they are almost identical to the iPhone 4 (and, incidentally, proves that the game no fundamental difference between the iPhone 4 the last generation iPod and not).

So, what do we see? iPhone 4S just utterly breaks last year's model. In subtest Egypt, simulating game episode, iPhone 4S surpasses the iPhone 4 in 5-7 times! In subtest PRO difference in 3-6 times. If you look at other tests, we can only gain a foothold in the opinion of the superiority of iPhone 4S. It is not excluded that Apple somehow specially optimized for iPhone 4S is passing the test. But in any case, the result is eloquent. Please note that this test GLBenchmark graphics subsystem. Therefore, this performance difference will be felt only in those applications, which actively involve the graphics hardware acceleration.
Now let's see how things are with the performance of processor cores and memory. To do this, run the test GeekBench 2.1.9 for iPhone OS (this is a multi-platform test, it does exist in versions for Mac OS X and Windows, however, the version of the iOS have to buy separately).
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
The boom began with the universal tablets imitating Apple iPad. However, the producers quickly realized that just imitating Apple, they do not attract buyers because the buyer will prefer the cheaper original than the parody of the more expensive (and less expensive, but at the same level of quality just do not know how). Therefore, manufacturers have tried to equip their devices such features that are not the iPad. This primarily concerns the possibility of memory expansion slots and more, which together with the openness of the (relative) Google Android operating system gave much more freedom than a closed ecosystem of Apple. The next step - filling with higher performance than Apple A4, which was built iPad. Such was the dual-chip solution NVIDIA Tegra 2 , designed specifically for tablets and offering performance processor at 1 GHz for each core. Apple, however, quickly gave the appropriate response by equipping the iPad 2 processor Apple A5, also a dual core. And at this point I would not dare to answer the question, who is filling manufacturers - iPad or a tablet on NVIDIA Terga 2. But this result is also well worth it. In addition, of course, a very important asset is the emergence of rivals Apple operating system, Google Android 3.x, it is focused on the plates.
Thus was formed a very clear standard "worthy competitor iPad»: a screen diagonal of approximately like iPad, with high-quality matrix (* VA or IPS), NVIDIA Tegra platform 2 and the operating system Google Android 3.x.
This year has already reached several devices based on this standard ( Acer Iconia Tab , Asus Eee Pad Transformer ), and a few more - will be released soon. Among the most notable innovations of the "second generation» Android-tablet - Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 08.09 . The first of them came to us for testing before reaching the shop shelves.
samsung galaxy tab 10.1
The model without the 3G module is marked - GT-P7510MAVXAB.
I must say that the release of the first tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab (with screens 7 inches) in autumn last year, Samsung has made a very important objective enshrined in the minds of the opinion that Android-tablet - it is primarily Samsung. Actually, Sales Galaxy Tab was just the same, the undisputed leader among Android-tablet (though many times slower than iPad). But then the Samsung was not as serious competitors like Acer, Asus and others. Let's see how is the situation now, and how the new revision of Galaxy Tab is suitable for the purpose of consolidating the position of Samsung in this market segment.
Outset that this article does not pretend to be an exhaustive study, in future we plan to develop a theme, in particular, by means of detailed videos about Tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Design
Since we tested a sample press release tablet came to us completely "naked" - without the box and accessories.
As for appearance, it should be noted that all the tablets "aypadovskoy" era is very similar to each other. Get at least a lack of hardware buttons on the front surface. Tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 fully meet this trend. Yet it has one significant difference from the iPad: a plastic housing (Apple tablet is enclosed in an aluminum casing). Consider whether this difference advantage or disadvantage - it's up to buyers. But thanks to the plastic plate could make it easier - just 565 grams (in main rival - 601 grams)! The width of the Samsung, too little (though very few) circumvents Apple - 8,6 vs. 8.8 mm. Curiously, the first tablet should have had other dimensions - less attractive. But after the announcement of the iPad 2 in early March, Samsung withdrew almost ready devices and decided to improve their options. Of course, this has delayed the entry of the second generation of the family tablet Galaxy Tab, but I think consumers and the industry as a whole will only benefit. Because today Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 - the thinnest and lightest in the world (among tablets with similar screen sizes).
The rear surface of the tablet, who visited the testing - white, but the bezel facets - silver (aluminum).
There is also a modification of the tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, executed in black , and the design of the case it is quite different. You can choose what you prefer.
With connectors and expansion options sad situation: in addition to a standard headphone jack is only a single proprietary connector used for charging, connecting to a computer and connection accessories.
In the first Galaxy Tab was at least a slot for memory cards microSD. Here, there and this. However, we tested a version without 3G. And with the 3G version has a microSD slot (which is the tablet version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 3G module you will see in our videos). A strange decision (perhaps related only to pre-samples)! The rest - all the same seven-inch tablet Galaxy Tab: left and right speakers are located on top - on / off button and volume control rocker.
Operating system and software
The tablet is running the latest version of the operating system Google Android - 3.1. Originally scheduled to release a new generation of "tabs" with Android 3.0, but when it was decided to postpone the release, it became clear that the issue should be with a new version of the OS, especially since 3.0 has been found a number of serious shortcomings. We have to test the tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been with Android 3.1, but it's an engineering sample, so the firmware "store" copies may be slightly different (perhaps go on sale already tablets running Android 3.2).
So, the main thing you should pay attention - this shell TouchWiz. Samsung sets its own shell in all its Android-devices, and tablet Galaxy Tab 10.1 - is no exception. True, if the case with Android 2.2 (in the first Galaxy Tab) it really was a must (so far has been very interface Android 2.x from those standards, which set the iOS), then the Android 3.x interface and in itself quite a good . And not to say that Samsung has made its shell looks more attractive - just a little different, in the style of Samsung. On the other hand, originality, and in this case, not to the detriment of usability, and this is commendable.
As for the functional part, the shell is TouchWiz really adds some nice features, such as "hubs" (content aggregators certain type, for example, Social Hub for e-mails and messages from social networks), the button for screenshots (on the test copy did not work in all applications, and unstable), as well as a set of widgets (weather, key contacts, mail, news, etc.) and quick access to several programs that offer "tapom" (or if you will, "click") on arrow in the center of the bottom line of the service icons (in the terminology they are called the Samsung Mini Apps).
Among these "mini-programs": the Task Manager, Calendar, World Clock, Pen memo, calculator, and Music. It is worth noting first of them - the Task Manager.
As you know, running Android 3.x itself "decides" when the application must close and unload from memory. That is, when you close it yourself, the application is still some time to hang in the memory. So the Task Manager allows you to just close the unwanted applications at once, freeing up space in RAM.
And, incidentally, demonstrates an interesting information: according to the Task manager for soft tablet is available in 724 MB of RAM (generally the same in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is set to 1 GB of RAM), while if the memory is clear from all the applications in the background, it will employ 379 MB (hence their use of the operating system and office services). If it does not clear the memory and work as usual (no excessive use multi-tasking), it will employ 500-600 MB. What is the stock remains, in general, very small.
Very conveniently arranged in the shell space TouchWiz "home" desktop: with five screens, we can get quick access to emails, news (albeit in a test instance it was the English-language resources), several Internet bookmarks, share prices, multiple contacts, as well as updates from social networks (widget Social Hub). All of this is provided widgets position where we can change at will.
Among the pre-installed software is not included in standard delivery Android 3.x, there are: Polaris Office (office suite), Pulse News (application for reading news feeds), Pen memo (handwritten notes), uTalk (messenger) and Samsung Apps (sobstvennny App Store Samsung). And, as already noted, the three "hub» - Social Hub, Readers Hub (an aggregator of books and media) and the Music Hub (an aggregator of music).
Screen
The main feature of the tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 - the screen on a matrix of a new type - PLS (Plane to Line Switching). Matrix Super PLS was announced Samsung recently, and the tablet Galaxy Tab 10.1 - one of the first devices with the screen. It is assumed that the PLS - an alternative to the IPS, and in some respects superior to these displays are displays such as IPS. In particular, specialists Samsung managed to increase the brightness by 10% (compared to the IPS), and increase the viewing angle (compared to the TN-matrices). It is noteworthy that the production cost of new displays up to 15% below the cost of IPS-type panels of the same size. Screen resolution at Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is equal to 1280x800 pixels.
Samsung has learned from the claims of the first Galaxy Tab, which, when sky-high price (in the first week of sales) was the usual TN-matrix, while the cheaper iPad - used IPS-matrix. Note that Samsung still did not equip the second generation of its proprietary tablet matrices AMOLED or Super AMOLED (not to mention the Super AMOLED Plus, which are used in smart phones Galaxy S II). Apparently, it is not possible to establish a competitive price for the device. So that the matrix of PLS - a good way out. Picture is bright, clear, almost no "slepnuschaya" in the sun, though viewing angles are still not outstanding. And of course, can not say that the tablet screen Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 fundamentally better than the iPad, Acer Iconia Tab or Asus Eee Pad Transformer. But an equal sign between them can not be set: as different types of matrices and the number of dots per inch is a little different, then different types of operations (web surfing, watching movies, games, etc.) tablet screens can manifest themselves in in different ways. So the issue we will come back and draw a full comparison test screens of modern tablet - now with the use of specialized tools. In the meantime, we note that the tablet screen Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 gesture support multitouch, including the original gesture: if you press two fingers on the screen and turn it from a horizontal scale of the image that will increase if to himself - then decrease.
Performance
Thus, the tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is built on a platform of NVIDIA Tegra 2, consisting of two cores with a frequency of 1 GHz. Declared RAM - 1 GB. Flash capacity ranges from 16 to 64 GB, while in models with 3G module flash memory can be expanded through the use of cards microSD. In general, we have a typical tablet 2011 hardware configuration, there is even a special and nothing to comment. Here are the results of two tests that were run on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the nearest competitor.
| Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 | Apple iPad 2 | Asus Eee Pad Transformer | |
| SunSpider 0.9.1 (Less than - better) |
2213 | 2182 | 2143 |
| Quadrant Standart (More - the better) |
2148 | Not applicable | 1528 |
We also tried to run the Galaxy Tab 10.1 test Linpack, but the tablet showed an incorrect result - apparently, this firmware is not yet supported by the test.
With regard to subjective impressions, the applications are no "brakes" were noted, but here is the interface the OS does not always work smoothly - that we are again likely to be attributed to the raw firmware (because power NVIDIA Tegra 2 for the needs of Android 3.x enough).
Apple iPad tablet 3 will be on sale in March
Apple has become a well known manufacturer of tablet's. Apple released the earlier IPad and IPad2 market. But there IPad3 according to various sources to arrive already. In this article you can read what is known about the IPad3.
According to the source, referring to "three knowledgeable persons" selling Apple iPad tablet 3 will start in early March. Compared with its predecessor the new model gets a more powerful processor and larger screen resolution. In addition, the tablet will support LTE.
Apple iPad tablet 3 will be on sale in March
Allegedly, the device has already started production in February and will reach the planned output of the mark. Factories are working around the clock. Build a new iPad tablet production deals with the main partner of Apple, the company Foxconn Technology Group. This manufacturer also produces the iPhone and other products Apple, receives 22% of their income, fulfilling orders Apple.
Predecessors IPad3
The predecessors of the IPad3 the iPad (2010) and IPad2 (2011). The IPad2 has new functions compared to the previous model. For example, a camera and now the tablet is the tablet a lot faster and lighter. Furthermore, the IPad2 additional software and can shoot HD quality. The iPad is now known worldwide, as the tablet in general. There are many brands on the market, but Apple continues to sell well and has a large market share. Now many people back there waiting for the successor to the IPad2. Here, solid information is available about the iPad.
IPad3
According to sources, the IPad3 the full successor of the IPad. The IPad2 was only an intermediate model because it was expected that Apple would come with a new model. Apple should just not so far with new developments for more features for the iPad. Therefore, the IPad2 little more features than its predecessor. The IPad2 is not much more news than previous tablets though. However, the speed of the IPad2 back faster. It has IPad2 have more speed than other tablet brands. The battery life is something many brands can not match. The IPad3 needs a lot more new features will get.
Camera
The new iPad would get an 8 megapixel camera. This could be derived from an interview with the CEO of Sony. He misspoke somewhat by saying that Apple would be delayed by the tsunami in Japan. The most likely an iPad camera from Sony is an 8 megapixel camera. This camera would also be 3D film according to some sources. Apple apparently because a patent application needs to have a 3D camera.
Connector
Apple also likely to be a patent application made for a connector that supports USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt. This makes it possible to quickly transfer files from the iPad to other devices via USB and Thunderbolt.
Spaces
IPad3 also possible, the "spaces". With Spaces you can easily manage several desktops. You can then "calls" through various movements with your fingers. For example you can with five fingers tapping to a desktop, and five fingers to move to another desktop to go.
Processor
The iPad 3 gets by this, Miles Jacobson, CEO Football Manager, a quad-core processor. This would be necessary to compete with the other tablets. In addition, the CEO that the graphics processor performance comparable to that of the NVIDIA 8700 series graphics cards. It is unclear where all the CEO based on his findings.
3D on the IPad3
According to several sources, adds 3D technology to IPad3. This would include going on a 3D display as well on camera, which features 3D images can be recorded. Some sources say even certain that the 3D capabilities IPad3 get. So who do you watch the videos in 3D IPad3.
Resolution
According to Economic Daily News, the resolution of 3 2560x1920 IPad be, this would be the highest resolution on a 9.7-inch screen can be used.
Release
There are rumors that the IPad3 in the fall of 2011 will appear. But this is pure guesswork on the Internet from a person who made a prediction based on the patterns of Apple. According to Digitimes, it is hardly possible that Apple in 2011 comes with version 3, this will only happen in 2012, simply because Apple has not yet far enough advanced.
UPDATE:
