Asus PadFone 2 vs PadFone: 2nd Generation Smartphone-Tablet is Coming

The second generation Padfone has been released by Asus in Taiwan. There is no doubt that it is an innovative product. Asus Padfone is still the only smartphone-tablet hybrid device from a mainstreem manufacturer until now. The dividing line between phone and tablet is more and more vague.

Asus Padfone 2 has innovations.

• Compared with the original, the new one is much lighter at 649g and does away with the Padfone Station Dock, the third component of the original Padfone which adds a keyboard. At the same time, the handset display size is lager, from 4.3 inch to 4.7 inch and the Super IPS+HD display make colors vibrant.
• The new Padfone 2 is also more powerful, sporting the new quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, supported by 2,140 mAh battery.
• For some strange reason, Asus decided to use a customized version of the micro-USB port of the Padfone 2 and Padfone 2 Station. While you can still use a normal micro-USB cable to charge (and it does seem secure), we noticed that you could wiggle the port (which may result in a freak accident and you snapping the cable/port.
• Speaking of the camera, it records 720p at a whopping 60fps, which is outstanding, and 1080p at 30fps, and can take up to 100 continuous full-resolution images.
• The Padfone 2 (main smartphone component) is priced at $616/$684/$750 for the 16GB/32GB/64GB version. Sadly, there isn’t a microSD card expansion slot. The Padfone Station add-on (the slate component) will retail for $307.

Samsung ATIV Tab is Coming with Microsoft Office 2013 on Windows RT Operating System

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.

Samsung doesn't forget to bundle some of its proprietary apps on the slate, such as the Samsung Music Hub and ChatOn messaging app.

Play Presentations on 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

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.

Comparison Between Microsoft Surface and Apple iPad

Microsoft on Monday finally had its Apple moment. It unveiled a family of home-brewed tablets to rival Apple's iPad at an extremely hush-hush event here in Los Angeles shrouded in mystery and speculation. Microsoft is taking a huge leap with a mobile-friendly tablet, built on its new Window 8 operating system, which rolls out this fall.

The Microsoft Surface Pro and RT tablets will be designed in-house. The company is stepping into the tablet market at a critical juncture when growth in PC sales is slowing and consumer interest in iPads is soaring. Even some tablets built on Google's rival Android mobile operating system, such as the Amazon Kindle Fire, are selling strongly.

Microsoft said the smallest Surface tablet is 9.3 millimeters thick and weighs 1.5 pounds, which is similar to Apple's iPad, at 9.4 millimeters thick and 1.44 pounds. The Surface has a 10.6-inch screen compared with the iPad's 9.7-inch screen. Microsoft also emphasized the use of the Surface with a keyboard, a convertible usage model that the company has helped champion and Apple has publicly discounted.

Since the first Microsoft Surface models hasn't been come out until Windows 8 is generally available, we can only get small parts of its specs. And let's compare them with iPad.

Microsoft Surface vs. Apple iPad (released features)

View Office Documents
Microsoft Office will run perfectly on Surface, depending on its Windows 8 operating system. But iPad can't.
For iPad, iWork can help users to work at it, though It's not free and not strong as Microsoft Office. eg. some animations, embedded audios and videos are not able to be played in Keynote. But there is still some ways to view powerpoint on iPad normally. And, if you need, you can also convert iWork documents to Microsoft Office documents.
