Samsung ATIV Tab
Samsung announced a new line of Win 8-based devices under the ATIV brand instead of Samsung Galaxy Note II as we expected. The products line includes smart PC, tablet, smartphone and display.

ATIV tablet comes with a 10.1 inch display with the resolution of 1366x768, while there is a 5 megapixel primary camera with 720p HD video recording plus a 1.9 megapixel sub camera on the front.

A standard storages are provided by Samsung , 2GB of RAM, 32 or 64GB of flash plus a microSD slot.

In the side of connections, the ATIV Tab supports NFC, WiFi, Bluetooth plus GPS and GLONASS positioning systems, HSPA+42 connectivity, but it does not support 3G cellular data.
 
The new tablet runs Windows RT operating system. Windows RT is a version of Windows 8 that runs on ARM processors which sits between the mobile and desktop versions of Windows 8. It is different from the other platforms. As a result, MS Office 2013 Home and Student editions are preinstall on it. It's really a good new for those who like working on tablets. It's no longer a difficult thing to create, edit and view office documents, such as powerpoint presentation with animations.

Another difference is, this tablet comes with USB 2.0 port and micro-HDMI ports and supported devices that plug into these ports should work automatically without the need for extra software.

All of the above are supported by a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor. The size and weight are coming at 266 x 168 x 8.9mm and 570 grams. An 8,200 mAh battery is also in it.

Play Presentations on iPad Mini

iPad Mini
"iPad Mini" was confirmed this week as the name of Apple's new 7.85'' tablet. It's considered as the smaller version of iPad. And Apple finally choose 7.85'' instead of the first idea of the 7 inch from Steve Jobs. Then, it isn't a difficult thing to enjoy app when iPad reduces its screen a little. Maybe the tablet will look moare like an oversized iPod Touch than a smaller iPad.

The device will be 7.2mm thick, or thin. The full-fat iPad is 9.4mm. The resolution is pointed to be 1024x768 by some rumors. The basic iPad Mini is likely to have 8GB on board, purely to keep those costs down.Different from the new iPad, iPad Mini won't have a camera on board.

The release date is likely to be fixed in October 2012, a month later than iPhone 5. There isn't any exact information about iPad Mini's price. All of people only infer the range based on existing data, such as from $249 to $299, and $300 to $350. A 3G version will be here for iPad Mini. Of course, the price will be a little higher than Wi-Fi version.

There is no doubt that iPad Mini would be Apple's thermonuclear device that destroys Amazon and Android devices. You can see more basic specs on Upcoming Next Kindle Fire vs. iPad Mini vs. Nexus 7.

Play Presentations on iPad Mini
Apple has developed Keynote already, which can satisfy users basic office work requirements, such as create, edit and play simple presentations. Of course, it has the same functions in other types of office documents, word and excel. After paying $70, you can use it. Some third-party apps are also recommended. Quickoffice Pro and Documents To Go are top ones in this field.

I'm not sure whether you have already known these tools or not. During your practical application, you will find differences between them and Microsoft PowerPoint on pc. Microsoft PowerPoint and Keynote are incompatible. Export the presentations made in Keynote to ppt to play them on pc. Similarly, before playing Microsoft PowerPoint on iPad Mini, convert ppt to Keynote first. If you don't want to loss anything in Microsoft PowerPoint, save powerpoint as video. eg. you don't have to worry about the animation compatiblity.

Upcoming Next Kindle Fire vs. iPad Mini vs. Nexus 7

Amazon kindle Fire 2

On Amazon's big press event in September, this company most likely introduce their new Kindle Fire. There are also rumors that Amazon would unvild its first smartphone with their star product, even a new lineup of readers is going to join the Kindle Touch and classic Kindle. Both the Kindle Touch and Touch 3G are listed as "out of stock" on Amazon website since this Monday. It's undeniable that new device may join the Fire while Kindle Touch is eliminated from lineup.

The latest rumors in June 2012, point to three Kindle Fire 2 (probably won't be "Kindle Fire 2") models, a 7-inch, an 8.9 inch, and a 10 inch version. The bigger 10-inch Kindle Fire 2 is reportedly codenamed "Hollywood" which will be based on the Nvidia Tegra 3, bringing a screaming quad-core processor with a 500% performance increase.

Additionally, the device is said to include a HDMI-out port, front-facing camera, and a microUSB port. Sources say that the e-reader will display at a 1280 x 800 resolution, and will now have a metal casing around its body.

The new Kindle Fire will be priced at the same level as the current Kindle Fire, $199. Then, the old model may drops to $149.

Like the original Kindle Fire, the new Kindle Fire won't support office documents directly. If you want to play Microsoft PowerPoint on Kindle Fire 2, the best way is converting powerpoint to video, keeping everything from been modified.

Here is a tablet about comparision among Amazon Kindle Fire 2, Apple iPad Mini and Google Nexus 7.

Play PowerPoint on iPad with the Latest App - Haiku Deck

Haiku Deck logo
Apple provide Keynote on Apple devices to play PowerPoint presentations. It does make showing slides easily after paying. But users still couldn't experience all of the functions which Microsoft PowerPoint has, though users can export Keynote files to microsoft powerpoint documents, or import microsoft powerpoint files into Keynote.

A new App was released on Apple App Store these days. It named Haiku Deck developed by Giant Thinkwell. You can download Haiku Deck on itunes.apple.com.

Haiku Deck could be downloaded free. It was latest updated on August 14, 2012. The English app is 45.6M. And it is compatible with iPad Requires iOS 5.0 or later.

Haiku Deck is the simple new way to create extraordinary presentations for any occasion - when you are telling a story, enlivening a meeting, teaching a lesson, or pitching an idea.

  • Choose perfect look from a range of stylish themes or you can import images from your iPad, Flickr, Picasa, Instagram, or Facebook for a personalized touch.

Haiku Deck screenshot
  • Besides applying fonts and image settings, Haiku Deck also support perfect layout for each slide with one tap.

Haiku Deck screenshot
  • You can not only share your decks to email, Twitter and Facebook, but also export to PowerPoint or Adobe .pdf. So, besides showing with an iPad, a projector, a smartphone or any web brower, users have many ways to deal with their presentations.

Haiku Deck screenshot
  • The most important thing is that - Haiku Deck is totally FREE. Nothing is needed to be paid before you use it.

But the a fly in the ointment is that Haiku Deck doesn't support adding animations and multimedia, such as background music or videos. It is still the disadvantage of Keynote, too. And the only way to solve this is that, converting powerpoint presentations to videos in .mp4 on computers, keeping everything from original files. And then, showing videos on iPad.

But when one member of them is murdered on the job, their quest for revenge puts them deep in enemy territory and up against an unexpected threat.

The Expendables 2 led the U.S. and Canadian box office with sales of $28.8 million, topping three other new films this past weekend. Someone collected 5 reasons to see The Expendables 2:
  • Action Packed Opening Sequence. The tone is set with a suicide rescue mission that consist of important rules in this film.
  • Comedy/Unintentional Comedy. Funny moments could be found in the action movie. They are always necessary.
  • Statham Delivers.
  • Killer Cameos. The cameos from Bruce Willis and Arnold are as good as anticipated.
  • 102 Mimutes of Action. The Expendables 2 is paced like a first person shooter game for the entire 102 minutes. Even with an ending that even Stevie Wonder could see, the film doesn’t disappoint because it gives you all the action you can ask for in the last 20 minutes.
