iPad 4 vs Microsoft Surface: War between Apple and Microsoft

After a few days Microsoft Surface was released, Apple pushed more than one device on Oct 23, and one of them is the iPad upgrade version - iPad 4 (iPad with Retina display). THe 4th generation iPad packed with a more poweful A6X processor and Retina display. It's sure that it has a better performance than the previous one. But for business people, the window 8 RT operating system and the keybord attract their eyes. Surface will become one of the top business tablets in the future. To check which is your style, let's compare them in details.

• Size and Weight
The 4th generation iPad remains the same beyond that, with the same form factor and display as the 3rd generation model. Microsoft Surface RT looks thinner and taller than iPad 4. The two tablets almost weigh the same. The 9.7'' and 10.6'' display can bring users a good watching experience.


• Color
iPad 4 has two colors for fans to choose - Silver / Black and Silver / White. Surface RT has only Black but users are allowed to choose the Touch Cover in White, Red, Cyan and Magenta.


• Processor
iPad 4 upgrades processor to A6X, but it's still dual-core. Microsoft Surface owns quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor. It wins in speed.


• Operating System
iPad 4 runs iOS 6 while Surface runs Windows RT.


• Connectivity
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 are basic configuration in tablets. Besides, more advance in Microsoft Surface RT is that it supports USB 2.0. iPad series tablets never support USB ports until now.


• Camera
There isn't any more about Surface cameras, except the easy description on official website. Meanwhile, iPad 4 5M 1080p HD rear camera seems better.


• Storage and Price
Based on the same storage and the same connectivity, Microsoft Surface RT is cheaper than iPad 4. Adding the touch cover, the selling price of the two tablets are the same.

No one can shake the best entertainment tablet place of iPad, and iPad 4 must continue to thrive. Thanks to its robust media ecosystem, fast performance, and incredible app support, iPad 4 will be hot again in 2012. The Surface can't compete on the app and its media ecosystem leaves a lot to be desired. There's no real support for books or magazines and very few quality games or useful utility apps are available.

But if you're looking for a tablet you can actually work on, the Surface RT should be your choice. Paired with either its Touch or its Type Cover keyboard and with the inclusion of Office 2013, the Surface is the best productivity tablet yet. Its keyboard is much more comfortable than the Infinity's or any iPad keyboard accessory I've ever tried. The Surface also includes a full USB port that supports game controllers and flash and optical drives.

To quickly sum up: If you're looking for a productivity tablet, the Surface is it. The iPad will likely remain the best entertainment tablet in the world.

iPad mini vs iPod Touch 5: Is iPad mini a right choice?

Oct 23 is surely an unhackneyed day. Apple, the tablet ancestor, released its latest tablet - iPad mini. It's the first small size tablet in iPad series, which is only 7.9 inch. It was modified in many places, compared with its brother - iPad 3. Eg. the display, the camera, SIM card. Mainwhile, someone finds that it has many common points with iPod touch, Apple audio player series. iPod touch 5 is even better than iPad mini and cost Apple fans less money. Let's compare the two devices in details.

• Display
iPad mini has the same screen as iPad 2 but smaller. The 7.9-inch display has a 1024 x 768 resolution with 163 pixels per inch. It's not quite as fantastic as the Retina Display, such as iPod Touch 5 uses. But it also brings you a nice experience when you're reading Web pages or watching movies.
iPod touch 5 has the same screen as the iPhone 5. The 4-inch Retina Display is really the best display technology in iOS products. The 1136 x 640 resolution with 326 pixels per inch will make reading text fantastic and it will make videos and images pop.

• Battery
iPad mini can works for 10 hours, supporting by built-in 16.3 Wh battery. iPod touch 5 also has a built-in battery. Up to 40 hours music playback time and up to 8 hours video playback time are given by Apple official website.


• OS and Processor
Both iPad mini and iPod touch 5 have the same processor - Apple dual-core A5 processor. iOS 6 runs on A5 processors, too.


• Connection
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are the basic connections in iOS products. Fans have two iPad mini versions to choose, Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi+LTE.


• Camera
iPod touch 5 owns a 5-megapixel iSight camera and a 1.2-megapixel FaceTime HD camera (720p). iPad mini has the same with iPod touch 5.

• Apps
iPod touch will essentially have access to all of the 700,000+ apps in the App Store in an optimized way. The iPad mini will run the existing 250,000+ iPad-specific apps without any modifications, but iPhone/iPod touch apps will have to be run at double the size.


• Colors
The iPod touch will be available in a variety of colors while the iPad mini looks dull in color, only coming in black or white. But iPad mini has a new smart cover option.


• Storage and Price
iPad mini comes with 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, one more choice than iPod touch 5. The price of iPad mini disappoint many people. WiFi 16GB at $329 doesn't have much competitive power in small tablets, even compared with Apple's another product - iPod touch 5.

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 Galaxy S3 Mini vs. iPhone5: Which One is Worth Buying?

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is on its way. Samsung launched it on October 11th. It is a smaller version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 which hit the world in May and is the best selling smartphones besides iPhone. Now, the apperance of Galaxy S3 Mini must bring another competition between Samsung and Apple. Recording to the existing specifics, we can compare the two devices first.

• Display
4-inch Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (GT-I8190) will has a WVGA 800 x 480 Super AMOLED display and and Samsung says the screen has a curved design, while iPhone5 owns a 4-inch (diagonal) Retina 1136x640 display. Though the pixel-dense is less than the 4.8-inch Galaxy S3, the Mini's screen resolution is still well within range for a 4-inch screen.
• Size
The mini version stands 4.8 inches by 2.5 inches by 0.39 inch and weighs 3.9 ounces, an equivalent to 121.55mm by 63mm by 9.85 mm, and 111.5 grams. Compared with iPhone5, 123.88mm by 58.6mm by 7.6mm, S3 Mini looks a little "fat".
• Processor
To make S3 Mini a different phone from previous ones, it deliberately sports a smaller 1GHz dual-core processor rather than the quad-core processor of the global S3 variety and the 1.5GHz dual-core LTE model in the U.S. The phone should still perform well for most users; it just won't clock the tip-top speeds. iPhone5 update its processor to 1.02GHz dual-core A6 chip, and it says that iPhone5 processor clocked at 1.3GHz, faster than previously reported.
• Camera
Samsung has replaced the 8-megapixel rear-facing shooter of the original Galaxy S3 with a 5-megapixel camera in the Mini. It still comes with an LED flash and a VGA front-facing camera (down from the 1.9megapixel camera in the S3 original.) Obviously, iPhone5 with 8 megapixel AF with flash and f/2.4 aperture is much stronger than S3 Mini.
• Operating System
As the same as Samsung Galaxy S3, S3 mini will run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. iPhone5 runs the latest Apple OS - iOS6, which was released with iPhone5.
• Storage
On both Galaxy S3 Mini and iPhone5, you will find 1GB of RAM. Recording to Samsung, the Mini will release 8GB and 16GB versions, along with a microSD slot compatible with up to 32GB cards. iPhone5 still has 3 versions, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.
• Connectivity
Connectivity of S3 Mini includes Wi-Fi a/b/g/n (2.4GHz/5GHz), Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB, along with triband HSPA (900/1900/2100) and quadband GSM/EDGE. The details of iPhone5 can be found on its official website: GSM model: GSM/EDGE, UMTS/HSPA+, DC-HSDPA, CDMA model: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n; 802.11n on 2.4GHz and 5GHz), Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and GLONASS.
• Price
Although Samsung didn't announce pricing or availability with this worldwide announcement, the asking price is sure to come in lower than its larger, more powerful cousin. Some rumors said S3 Mini may around 250 euros, as compared to the iPhone 5 at 650 euros. Meanwhile, Samsung will launch a Galaxy S3 Plus, which is coming with a 300-400 euro price tag. If this is true then Samsung is definitely planning to undercut iPhone on pricing.

• There are more same points in display between Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7, than Kindle Fire HD 8.9'' and The New iPad. Such as the size, resolution, and the technology.
• Though they both run Android, Nexus 7 runs the latest Android operating system without no modification. Kindle Fire HD runs a modified version of Android 4.0 and users have to download apps on Amazon Appstore for Android. Amazon Appstore for Android is still being built now, so, apps are less than Google Play. But Kindle Fire HD is inextricably tied to Amazon's much-beloved ecosystem of digital media storefronts, including Kindle e-books, Amazon MP3s, and Amazon video on demand. 
• Besides WiFi and Bluetooth, Nexus 7 add two more connection ways, GPS and NFC.
• According to the price lists, Nexus 7 with 8GB is at $199 while Kindle Fire HD with 16GB is at $199. When the storage doubles, the prices of both two will raise $50.
• Don't be worry about working with the two devices. Though there isn't anything detailed about office tools on Kindle Fire HD, it must at least have the same office programs like Kindle Fire. As to Nexus 7, besides the office apps in Google Play, you can also play presentations in many other ways on Nexus 7.

If you wanna a better device to read e-books, Kindle Fire HD is the best choice. If you just wanna a high cost performance Android tablet for more functions, think about Nexus 7 more. Let's wait for much more detailed specifics about this new Kindle Fire HD.

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. 

The ATIV Tab is said to be available from October 26 at the price of $599.

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.

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

The next Galaxy Note is widely rumoured to come with a slightly larger 5.5 inch display and faster processor, compared with the original Samsung Galaxy Note which was just released in March. Most of specifics bout this new smartphone don't change much, like I collected before (SamSung Galaxy Note II), except its resolution. According the the latest reporting, the resolution of this 5.5'' screan is 1028x720, while it was reported as 1068x1050 early. Besides, based on the existing technology specific of Samsung Galaxy Note II, entertainment solutions are provided for you during your future life with it.

Lenovo chose a bright IPS display with 178° wide viewing angle so you can share your entertainment with an audience, which offers wider viewing angles than standard LCD tablet screens. Though the display screen is 1,024 x 768, it is already enough to view Youtube videos with 720p playback. It comes with a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera sits to the left of the display.

For further requirements, Documents To Go is still less than Microsoft Office. It can't show animations and embedded medias in original Microsoft PowerPoint documents. If you want to achieve this, convert presentation to video, and keep everything the same in output video.

How to View PowerPoint on Latest T-Mobile myTouch by Huawei

T-Mobile announced two new smartphones in myTouch family - myTouch and myTouch Q, which are both made by Chinese manufacturer Huawei.

There are already 6 members in T-Mobile myTouch lineup, such as high-end HTC mytouch models to free-with-contract, entry-level LG myTouch units. These two are the seventh and eighth phones aimed at entry-level users. But they all have a same thing - each phone in the series runs a version of the Android software stack.

It's disappoint that neither of the new myTouch smartphones will have Android's latest OS. Instead, they are coming with Android 2.3, but offer other improvements over the handsets before.

Both a better voice control feature and T-Mobile’s simple setup wizard are highlights. The two will come with the Genius Button 4.0. This gives users enhanced speech control featuring Dragon’s speech engine from Nuance. Then, customers are allowed to use their voice to search the web, launch apps, and make reservations.

This year's myTouch models own a 4.0-inch WVGA at 480 x 800 with a 1.4GHz processor and five-megapixel camera. A front-facing camera and 1500mAh battery are the only other key features of both myTouch handsets, which will take advantage of T-Mobile's HSPA+ "4G" network.

Keyboard is the big difference between the myTouch and the myTouch Q. myTouch Q has a physical keyboard while myTouch doesn't. Smartphones with hardware keyboards seem to be a rarity these days, but T-Mobile has a long tradition with QWERTY phones that harkens back to the Sidekick days.

There are many apps provided by software companies in Android Market for users to play office documents, such as Mobile Document Viewer. It's also an easy way to play powerpoint on myTouch. But there is still some places needed to be improved. Most of these apps are supported by browser. So, the formats in original powerpoint document are not sure to be shown as the same. For a better shown, the best way is keeping everything the same in a video - convert powerpoint to mp4. Then, all worries will disappear.

Available on August 8, the 2012 myTouch will be available in black or dark red, while the myTouch Q comes in black or white; both sell for $49.99 after $50 mail-in rebate card with qualifying two-year agreement.

How to Play and Work with SamSung Galaxy Note II?

Samsung is currently working on a larger version of its Note for October this year. Multiple sources including GSMArena have reported that they got inside information on the arrival of a new Galaxy Note phablet, which will tout a 5.5-inch display from the original’s 5.3-inch screen.

As per rumors, the new Note, which may be addressed Note 2, will come with many rich features. It will run on Samsung’s new Exynos 4 Quad family of quad core SoC, Google’s upcoming Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and more.

Display screen: As per some sources, the new Note will sport a 5.5-inch Super AMOELD touchscreen. The screen will have a resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels at an increased 360 ppi. Certainly, the large display will be one of the major showpieces of the handset, if the rumors are true. The current version of the Note has a 5.3-inch display and most other phablets in the market sport just 5-inch displays. But, the new Note is rumored to mount a larger 5.5-inch display.

Connectivity: Without any surprise, the new Note may feature all major connectivity options. Yes, the device will have 4G LTE, EDGE, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, NFC and others. Chances are high that Samsung may also integrate Beam S and other advanced connectivity features on the Note 2, thus making it a mini computer. The device may only avail GPS possibly with GLNONASS and A-GPS support, say the rumors. Bluetooth 4.0 with USB and USB-on-the-go may be some other specialties of the Note 2.

Camera: There is an argument that the Note 2 will feature a 12-megapixel AF/touch focus rear camera. It can record video at full HD and it may also have video recording and playback features. Some sources report that the Note 2 will come with only an 8-megapixel rear camera. Indeed, there will be a front facing camera for making video calls and chats.


Multimedia and others: Needless to mention, Samsung will prepare the Note 2 with advanced multimedia features. The device will have MHL for AV out and it can capture video at 1080p clarity. An advanced S-pen digitizer and other features can also be expected with the rumored device.

Office: Running Android operating system, there are lots of free office apps for users to installed, such as QuickOffice, document viewers, flash viewers and etc. If these android apps can't satisfy your requirements on working, try to convert office documents to videos, keeping everything from original files.


Storage: Following the path of the newly launched Galaxy S III, the Note 2 may possibly have a 64GB edition. Along with it, the phablet will feature 16GB and 32GB versions, of course with expandable microSD slots. Yes, users will require large storage on a device with a large display and all modern day features.


New firmware: Certainly, the new Galaxy Note phablet will feature Google’s new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS. Google has just announced its new Android version at its I/O conference along with Nexus 7, a 7-inch tablet that will debut the software. Surely, the upcoming Note will preload the new operating system.

Sum-up Apart from rumors, we have no information about a possible Galaxy Note 2. Samsung has never exposed anything about such an upgrade for the Note, which has been an immense success following its launch. Samsung has earlier this year uncovered a 10.1-inch version for the Note series. So we can’t completely refute the chance for a 5.5-inch phablet upgrade for the Note.

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.
