HTC set to launch a 10-inch Windows 8 tablet this year: Report,

Though it has been over a year since HTC last launched a tablet, there have been rumors on the Internet recently stating that the Taiwanese company is working on Windows tablets. A report on FocusTaiwan now confirms this notion stating that HTC is set to launch a 10-inch Windows 8 tablet later this year.

The report states facts from a research note released by NPD DisplaySearch, a market research and consulting firm. A detailed list of specifications is currently not available and the only thing known is that the tablet will sport a 10.1-inch Full-HD (1920×1080 pixels) display, which will be manufactured by LG Display Unit. The report further states that mass production has already begun in the first quarter of this year and the tablet could be announced in the coming months.

HTC has previously dipped its hands in the tablet market to compete against the likes of the iPad by releasing a 7-inch HTC Flyer in February 2011 and a 10.1-inch HTC Jetstream tablet in September 2011. Both the Android tablets though didn’t do too well in the market. A tablet with decent specs and the right price might well prove to be a success in the yet nascent Windows tablet market.

Asus Nexus 7 32GB 3G variant launched in India for Rs 21,999, 32GB Wi-Fi model for Rs 18,999.

Only last week Google started retailing the Nexus 7 from the Indian Google Play store but unfortunately, it was the 16GB Wi-Fi only model. Today Asus has announced it is bringing the recently-unveiled 32GB model in both 3G and Wi-Fi only flavors to India. The 3G model will cost Rs 21,999 and the Wi-Fi only model will be a good deal cheaper at 18,999.

Google for its part is selling the 16GB Wi-Fi model via the Play Store for Rs 15,999, but these newer 32GB SKUs will be offered at retail outlets and will be distributed by Asus.

As we already know, the Nexus 7 is powered by a the quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 CPU, and it has a 7-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1280×800 pixels. Additionally, it has 1GB of RAM, a 1.2-megapixel front facing camera and is powered by Android 4.2.

 

iPad 3 vs Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

admin • April 10, 2013 • 0 Comments

In this post we will compare between iPad 3 vs Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. Check here the detailed comparison:
Trust us; we have an impish grin on our face as we do this comparo! The world knows about the age old vendetta between these two mobile manufacturing giants. No prizes for guessing, we are talking about the Samsung- Apple rivalry! Never for once did Apple find itself standing in the gadgets rally without an evenly poised dark horse from the Samsung stable.
2012 has been a significant year for both the mobile giants. It is very difficult to decide upon the market clincher. For few Samsung stole the show with its wide range of choices and an innovative droid experience. Few sung glories for Apple swearing by their sheer quality and design!
Well, if you were not content with their global court clamor. Here is something which might give you a food for thought. Today, we present the Galaxy Tab 2 vs. iPad 3 duel! Truth be told, the Galaxy Tab 2 shares no resemblance appearance wise, with its predecessors and the reason is known to many!  It was quite obvious after all the legal implications and Apple allegedly claiming that Samsung had “copied” the iPad design. We knew it was coming!  One part brave, two part fool!
Thus the Tab2 sports a revamped look. A new age silver bezel with variable spacing around enough to grip through those bumpy rides! The area above the display has been shrimped. The design is quite futuristic and certainly a cut above the predecessors by looks!
Apple on the other hand keeps up with the legacy. Infact the new iPad is tad beefier that the previous gen. Cheesy looks and the epic “Apple White” which it flaunts with pride is its USP. 
However Samsung doesn’t beat Apple by looks. It can possibly share the same spot.

Display

Coming to display and resolution. Apple is hands down winner for us. Its brisk new retina display is complete drool object. It gains a rare edge by embedding 3million pixels into the retina display, which powers a jaw dropping 2048×1536 pixels on a 9.7-inch IPS LED-backlit display. It’s a visual treat.
Samsung on the other hand has deployed a 10.1-inch PLS TFT screen offering a resolution of 1280×800 pixels. It engages no out of the block technology. The setup really is nuts-and-bolts to say the least.
