iPad mini: depth analysis, complete review

iPad mini: depth analysis

I have spent several days trying to understand what is the iPad mini that I love so much, it makes me use it even more than his brother. What do I have to eat the words he said with enthusiasm quite a few months ago "do not need a smaller iPad" or "iPad mini would be a mistake." But here I am, writing this review, looking at the tablet and thinking "Where have you been all my life?"

Unlike what many think, the first impression when you hold the iPad mini in hand is not its size, is its weight. It is extremely lightweight, only 308 grams. Apple has applied the same reasoning iPhone design: colors black / graphite or white / silver, use of materials such as metal, beveled edges, cuts and elements thereof, including the side buttons are the same color as the rest of the apparatus. If the iPhone 5 is built like a Swiss watch luxury iPad mini is the equivalent of a European sports car, small but attractive too.

No other tablet in the same category as you approach the beauty, quality of construction and size benefits. Having a screen with 4:3 aspect can show up to 42% more than similar devices without increasing the size of the entire device.

The second impression (if you already have a device with retina display) is that it does not. Where once we looked a little "exquisite" what not to see the individual pixels, the screen again "no retina" can be strange, can be a disappointment, if you're picky about the details.

Impress that two inches can make such a difference in size and weight. Followed by a surprise long as they pass the days in which you really realize that you can not use it, that in this type of devices, contrary to what many thought before, the weight makes a huge difference.

My dilemma these days is: I like both the iPad mini in size or so I like that is extremely light? If Apple sold a 10 inch iPad 300 grams, would you prefer that? I honestly do not know. What I have clear is that if you forget about the technical characteristics, you are holding something close to perfection of what a mobile device should be.

Screen

The approach to the invisible gadget which I speak enough in my reviews of Apple devices is even more evident in the industrial design of the iPad mini. The edges around the screen are even smaller, giving this even more important.

It is important to understand this because in the post-PC world, most relevant to device capabilities, is what allows you to do. And everything the iPad lets you do is focused on the experience you have with the screen.

In that sense, the quality is similar to the screen of the original iPad or the iPad 2 , but with two significant differences:

    IPS technology that dramatically improves the viewing angles, colors much more vivid offers faster response times

    Same amount of pixels, but in a smaller space, so everyone is more together and it makes things look "better." There is a difference in 8-inch 1024x768 1024x768 at 10. The iPad mini offers 163 pixels per inch, while the iPad 2 has 132.

The screen experience is exactly the same as with other iPad. Nothing changes. The look is the same, everything is a bit smaller, no other noticeable change. Those who were concerned in a degradation of the user experience on a screen smaller than 10 inches may be quiet, is nonexistent.

This happens mainly because Apple decided that the screen has the same aspect ratio (4:3) than in the "big" version, so no need to re-design applications for this size, not to do modifications of any kind. They behave like plain and simple.

But you can see the pixels, which is one of my only two criticisms of the device. Apple has accustomed us to the retina display. iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, MacBook Pro 13 "and MacBook Pro 15" screens that are impossible to distinguish individual pixels. Not the case of iPad mini, which, although it has 8 inches and more pixels per inch, I continue to see.

I think part of the "Apple Experience" (if it exists) is that each graphic display interfaces in their best. That level of quality was imposed with the retina display. Me happy and I had been removed. As the days get used to not using a retina display, it is true and it is a situation of "one for another" much less weight in exchange for a screen not so good. If you really need retina, choose the heavier iPad. At least that is the situation in 2012.

If the retina display is so important, then why offer an iPad mini without this feature? The answer is curious: Have you noticed that even though we are in the fourth generation of 10-inch iPad, Apple is selling the iPad 2 does not have retina display? It is because it is still very sold, which means that not everyone will need a screen resolution so. At least not now, and is an advantage that many are willing to "sacrifice" in exchange for lower prices.

Performance

The iPad mini features the same processor as the iPad 2, a dual-core A5. Does that mean it has a comparable performance? Not necessarily.

According to Geekbench, the iPad mini has a rating of 751, which is not only faster than the iPad 2 (721), but is on par with the speed of the third generation iPad (758). Definitely can not compare with the number thrown by the fourth generation iPad (an impressive 1,763), but on a day to day is more than enough for the vast majority of the things we do. Even games. With more capacity coming applications that make better, but I feel that during these months is more than enough.

I would still like to see more, and this is my second review. I know there is a price undertaking, but the sales volume generated by the iPad mini should not be a problem. A similar A6 processor included in the iPhone 5 as a little closer to perfection.

Connectivity

The iPad mini I'm using for this review is the Wi-Fi version. The variant with 3G/LTE not be available until the end of November, so I can not give details of the actual speeds that can reach connected to a mobile operator. We know that this area generates enough interest, especially after seeing that even in places like Spain do not yet have access to LTE, we reach speeds of 20 megabytes per second with HSDPA + on the iPhone 5.

We hope in a few weeks to access a test unit with 3G and make a specific analysis in this regard.

As for Wi-Fi, as previous iPads, not only can connect to 802.11g, 802.11n networks also in the 5GHz spectrum, reaching speeds of 54 megabits per second or more, which is pretty good when it comes to stream high quality video.

Battery

The battery is probably one of the things that most surprised me the iPad mini and exceed the numbers promised by Apple. They say about ten hours with normal use (browsing, connected to Wi-Fi, video playback, music), but on a day to day can be more. No wonder the usage time exceeds eleven hours.

Pretty impressive.

Conclusion

I believe history will repeat itself. When Apple launched the iPod mini (and some time later the iPod nano), many felt that it was pointless to launch a player a little cheaper, but much cheaper, with lower specifications in exchange for a smaller size. The iPod mini iPod became the best selling. Most likely the same will happen with the iPad mini.

The iPad mini by weight, portability and price is very close to perfection as mobile devices are concerned. To do this you need two things: retina display and a processor on par with other Apple devices (ultimately an A6 as the iPhone 5). If I did, my score would be 10 out of 10 final.

A $ 329  is very difficult not to take one. It complicates the urge to discuss the purchase. Benefits such as low are indisputable. Surprise price read reviews, but surprisingly, even some pretend that Apple is setting the rules of industry prices, which never happened.

The iPad mini is a great example of when the result is greater than the sum of its parts. In many ways (especially technical) is less than its big brother, including the competition, but the reality is that it becomes even better. It has become an irreplaceable part in my day to day and has a permanent place in my bag.

Google Nexus 10, in-depth analysis

Google Nexus 10, in-depth analysis

It's a seemingly simple tablet. We say apparent because Samsung , responsible for device hardware, has decided to integrate the Nexus October 1 of the best processors currently has laboratory. We refer to the Samsung Exynos 5250 dual core, much more powerful than any he had seen before. With the arrival of the new Nexus 10, Google aims to challenge the market for tablets with a proposal unparalleled. And is that besides having a heart truly privileged, the Nexus 10 incorporates a large 10-inch screen in high definition, useful for viewing high quality content and enjoy the latest applications and games that have flooded the market.

How could it be otherwise, well, Google has taken the presentation of this Nexus 10, and also the Nexus 4, to unveil the new edition of its successful operating system: Android . It is, as you can imagine, the Android version 4.2, in this case known as Jelly Bean, whose purpose is to offer users a more complete experience aboard their terminals. Concretaremos later, but now we are ready to move forward that we will see significant improvements in the camera section, keyboard, connectivity and of course, on the overall performance of the Nexus 10 and the other devices that are already advantaged part of the Google family. Here, we present a thorough analysis, complete with photos, videos and reviews of the new Nexus 10. Fancy a look?

Design and Display

True to its design story line, the company Google has introduced a device that complies with the architecture perfectly so far supported by pieces like the Nexus 7, the seven-inch tablet has already released a few months ago, or the Nexus 4 , the fourth-generation Nexus smartphone freshly baked. And although the design is worked from the same factories (Nexus 7 is the brainchild of Asus , the Nexus 4 of LG and the Nexus 10 Samsung ) devices are presented in a very coherent in the catalog of the firm, design being one of its most discreet. Complies with dimensions of 263.9 x 177.6 x 8.9 mm and weighs around 603 grams. You see, this is a piece slightly heavier than usual, detail by which we must consider its screen, higher dimensions and the large number of pieces housed within, whose weight has also been considerable. It comes in a discreet black, in a format very rounded and made ​​of plastic materials, details that give it a nice touch and very comfortable holding.

The screen is, undoubtedly, one of its most important elements. It comes with an IPS LCD capacitive LED screen with a size of 10.055 inches (diagonal), approaching the size of the classic Samsung tablets with dimensions of 10.1 inch reach. In any case, the Nexus 10 has a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 WQXGA pixel, one of the highest (if not most) of the tablets that have been presented so far. It has a density of 300 pixels per inch and a depth of 16 million colors. For the occasion, Google has chosen a high quality glass that will protect the structure of the device from accidental bumps and scratches. It is, how could it be otherwise, a glass Corning Gorilla Glass 2, well known for its high strength and quality.

Connectivity

The Nexus 10 is a tablet exclusively designed for those who know they are going to connect to the Internet through a wireless connection. And is that the device does not save network support 2G or 3G, so much so, that the tablet does not incorporate a slot to accommodate a SIM card. To advance in the technical data, need to indicate that in fact, the Nexus 10 supports wireless networking 802.11 a / ​​b / g / n, a protocol that will allow users to access the Internet through the wireless network you have available home, in the workplace or in any hotel room that offers, for example. Additionally, the device incorporates the Wifi Direct for quicker transfer of files, and compatibility with Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP and NFC (Near Field Communication) for file transfer via short-range communications. With one touch, the device will be able to transfer information to another. We'll see if later popularized fashion spreads or paying with our tablets or smartphones. For now, this feature is still very green.

In any case, we should note that the company wanted to offer direct access to all services - or most - that are available for free with a Google account. We refer to Google Search, Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Calendar, Google Talk and pikes. You'll find these standard applications installed on your tablet, but you can also download other programs through Google Play.

On the external connections, we should note that the Nexus 10 has a headphone output of 3.5 mm, and a microUSB input to connect the device to your computer and sync content, charge your battery and so on. It also has an entry microHDMI that will be highly useful for those who are especially interested in the management of multimedia content.

Camera and multimedia

Unlike other tablets, the Google camera incorporates a high quality. In fact, you'll see that the main camera has a five megapixel sensor, useful for capturing images of 2592 x 1936 pixels. But that's not all. In addition to having this capability, the system of the camera incorporates a number of additional features that work in favor of good quality snapshots. We refer, no doubt, to the functions of auto focus, geo-tagging, touch focus and face detection. It has LED Flash, useful for capturing in low light situations or even at night, plus the ability to record HD movies (1080p @ 30fps). The secondary camera on the front (of course) has a two-megapixel sensor and is a great support for those who want to make video calls often.

In the multimedia section, the Nexus 10 also carries phenomenal. We show that, like almost all smartphones and tablets, the device is quite skilled at playing music, video and photos in major formats. In its data sheet specifies the following: MPEG4, H.263, H.264, VC-1, DivX, WMV7, WMV8, VP8, 3GP, ASF, AVI, MP4, WMV, FLV, MKV, WebM, MP3, AAC , AC-3, AMR, FLAC, MID, WMA, WAV. Best of all is that we shall play HD movies to enjoy programs, concerts and recordings that may be of interest. Furthermore, we shall transfer to larger screens to enjoy the content with the whole family, living comfortably in our home.

Memory, processor and operating system

Nexus 10 comes in two different versions, depending on the capacity of the piece. We will be able to purchase the edition of 16 GB and 32 GB, a detail that should be taken into account explicitly. Do not forget that this device does not include a microSD slot that can serve to extend the user memory. The processor, Exynos 5250 dual core 1.7 GHz Cortex A-15 combines its great potential with a graphics processor Mail-T604 GPU and RAM as complete, 2 GB that will be a good mattress for performance upper apparatus. It should be remembered, as we said at the beginning that the Exynos 5250 processor has been developed and manufactured by Samsung itself, which would be one of his best pieces according to experts.

One of the main changes introduced by Google, apart from the devices you already know, is the new version of Android. We refer of course, to Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean). For the occasion, Google has made ​​some major improvements to come in this new version (standard on the Nexus 10 and Nexus 4): new function to get photos Photo Sphere spherical 360 degrees, a new integrated keyboard, which works the same that the Swype keyboard, multi function tablet, open different accounts for the same team, sharing content via wireless to transfer content on larger screens, Daydream, a new screensaver, more features in the notification bar, to control missed calls, received messages and updates on social networks and even Google Now, with major improvements to book restaurants, hotels and consult confirm ticket information, for example.

Autonomy and availability

The autonomy of the devices is very important for all users who try to make the most of their smartphones and tablets. In this case, Google has opted for a high capacity battery. Talking about a piece of lithium ions with 9,000 milliampere allow us to keep alive our tablet during an important time, but not possible for us to specify the number of hours of operation. In fact, Google has shown neither. Keep in mind, however, that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 manufactured by Samsung has a memory of 7,000 milliamps. With the screen off, the battery can last several weeks, but the fact is that under heavy load or normal autonomy will wane.

And what about its availability?, You ask. Well, the Nexus 10 will go on sale through Google Play (the app store and devices has opened the company to directly market their parts). In this case, the two versions of 16 GB and 32 GB will start selling from next November 13, just in a couple of weeks, also in the Spanish store. Editing 16GB cost 400 euros and the 32 GB, $ 500, free form logically.

iPad mini: unboxing, iPad Video with nboxing details

iPad mini: unboxing

Today is the official launch of the iPad mini in 26 different countries and we have one to review it. While we do here we show the unboxing of the new tablet from Apple .

The first impression I had is how light it is. The ability to hold it with one hand without practically losing the user experience that we are accustomed to those who already had an iPad. Apple has been quite clear that the intention of the product launch is to enter the product spectrum of small tablets. It makes sense, is a field with a lot of supply and competition, but in which none was doing really well, in my opinion.

Will Apple nailed it with the new version of the iPad? I can count on is the few days that have written my review thoroughly. Meanwhile, here is a product unboxing.

Spectre XT HP TouchSmart depth analysis

Spectre XT HP TouchSmart depth analysis

The Spectre HP TouchSmart XT is one of the HP equipment to be launched with Windows 8 by the end of the year. This team will include a touch screen 15.6 "with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and will be located on the first level of market thanks to a sleek design made ​​from metal and glass. This equipment is intended for use multimedia content such as HD movies display with a display and the audio quality is achieved with Beats Audio system. Moreover, to include a Thunderbolt port which can achieve transfer rates that are twice the USB 3.0 protocol. The Spectre HP TouchSmart XT will be available in the Spanish market from December with a price that will be around 1,400 euros.

Design and Display

The Spectre HP TouchSmart XT has a design class made ​​of metal and glass, with a classic, elegant and contained dimensions that allow easy portability despite having a slightly larger screen than the average of 15 ultrabooks , 6 ". The laptop has a thickness of 17.9 mm and a weight that is in the 2.1 kilos, a competitive figure though slashing the weight limit on ultrabooks are placed. The touchpad is glass and has an attractive finish. Also of note is the keyboard, which is backlit.

Furthermore, this computer screen is one of its main betting because we have a good quality IPS panel with a size of 15.6 "and a Full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. Harnessing the capabilities of Windows 8, the screen is touch nature and allows up to 10 simultaneous pressure points.

Processor and memory

In its basic configuration the Spectre HP TouchSmart XT incorporates a processor Intel Core i5-3317U dual core, with a power of 1.7 GHz per core. Thanks to technology chip company can reach a maximum of 2.6 GHz and also work with four processing threads (as actually we counted four physical cores). As for the RAM, 4 GB will in the initial configuration, with the possibility of extending this capability to 8 GB of RAM.

As usual with ultrabooks, not added a graphics card, but are used in the integrated graphics processor Intel. This is the Intel HD 4000 Graphics graphics. According chip company performance can be obtained in some processes that doubles the previous version of the Intel HD 3000 Graphics. In the case of internal memory, HP chooses a card integrate SSD 256 GB, a very interesting bending capacity so that found in most ultrabooks (but also increases its price). The cards offer a fast SSD disk access and system boot much higher than traditional hard drives. Furthermore, by incorporating a flash memory, not physical parts and does not suffer the wear and tear of the mechanical parts of traditional disks.

Systems and Applications

The system chosen by the Spectre XT HP TouchSmart is Windows 8. Microsoft's new system is designed to leverage the capabilities of touch screens, with a main interface very similar to the Windows Phone mobile platform. For those who do not know this environment, the different options and programs are distributed in brick along the screen (many of them have the option to display real-time notifications).

Some of the strengths of this interface are the tight integration of social networks (can manage our accounts of Facebook , Twitter or LinkedIn from one app), the contacts or the ability to merge multiple accounts. In addition, maintaining the proper desktop interface and a Windows 7 compatilidad almost complete with this platform applications.

In addition, the app store for Windows 8 should soon become a mainstay for the development of this system. Proof of this is that Microsoft expects to reach 100,000 apps in February next year. Anyway, we have to wait to see how users react to Windows 8 and if this system gets to repeat the success of previous versions. And is that Microsoft has proposed a new platform with which there is much expectation, but also many doubts.

Connectivity and peripherals

In the field of connections XT HP TouchSmart Spectre mainly emphasizes Thunderbolt inclusion of a port. This technology was already present in Apple hardware but their inclusion in the PC had been delayed enough. The Intel technology enables a transfer rate that doubles the USB 3.0 protocol and is multiprotocolar, ie can connect various devices such as monitors or external hard drives through the same connector. On the other hand, also has two USB 3.0 ports, a USB 2.0 port or an HDMI port with which you can display high quality content on your TV or monitor. The Spectre HP TouchSmart XT also features an Ethernet port, and WiFi and Bluetooth connections.

To make the ultrabook videoconferences incorporate TrueVision HD camera. A major absences of this team is that of an optical drive, considering the size of the team.

Autonomy and prices

The autonomy of ultrabook HP reaches six hours. It will be available in the Spanish market from December at a price of around 1,400 euros (we are awaiting official confirmation). In short, this is a first-class team with quite powerful specifications, especially the presence of a touch screen with full HD or Thunderbolt port. However, users who want to get this team will have to make significant outlays, and that may be one of its main buts.

5 reasons to choose a 7-inch tablet

5 reasons to choose a 7-inch tablet

In 2010, the U.S. Apple launches its first tablet . The first tablet, in fact: the iPad . The screen size is 9.7 inches, a standard that arrives today. However, the measure that normalizes the Californian has not been adopted by other manufacturers, something other than what happened when South Korea's Samsung opted for its own proposal, that first Samsung Galaxy Tab that was seen in September of the same year.

Since then, and despite various formats have known-that pass through the screens of 7.7 to 11.6 inches - the seven-inch has been the strongest alternative to the iPad. So much so that even Apple might retaliate with a small form factor tablet, proposing a new standard 7.85 inch native and perhaps the rumored iPad Mini imminent. However, before this, one wonders, what is special measure seven inches to Amazon, Samsung and Google have adopted as their battle standard?



For starters, it is a format that defines a substantially more portable device. We still remember the punch that gave Samsung when during the presentation of its Galaxy Tab in 2010 surprised the show, in the first public appearance of the terminal, the device removing it from the inside pocket of a jacket. Not that the tablets with seven-inch screen are specially designed to carry in your pocket, but of course, extend the range of comfort as far as mobility is concerned.

It is the perfect size for reading and viewing videos. Such screens boast resolutions between 1024 x 600 pixels and 1,280 x 800 pixels, which focused on seven-inch panels show excellent results as far as definition is concerned. True, the new iPad boasts a spectacular resolution that far exceeds the standard in high-definition 9.7-inch, but the proposal of these devices is quite another, much more connected to other aspects of the terminal, such as that mobility or price, as discussed below. Thus, in these panels is contemplated that the option can enjoy videos or ebooks with much comfort, but we miss an area much larger vision.



Terminals are much cheaper than those in higher formats. In this sense, the Kindle Fire became the first blow on the table for the tablet market. The strategy has had the Nexus 7 to the wake, and other manufacturers such as Samsung or Booq Spanish, also support the idea of identifying the standard seven-inch with an affordable price. The idea is that the user can take home a well-rounded tablet by an average of 200 euros, the price thicken somewhat depending on features like memory or connectivity -.

A tablet with a seven-inch screen is far more comfortable than a larger one. It is true that this type of equipment are designed to move from one place to another, and in some cases, may even consider laptop as substitutes. But make no mistake: the couch, the bed and perhaps other more private sites will house natural environments where recourse to the tablet more often. Thus, the idea of holding a lightweight and manageable while lying on your back are either reading, watching videos, surfing the web or checking emails or social networks, it seems much more attractive if it is a terminal hold bulkier and heavy.

It gives a very curious circumstance terminals with seven-inch screens. Since Android is the only really defined before the iPad, arguably the only environment that offers an interesting option for tablets outside the iOS environment. And is that with Android 4.0, since applications can be shared between devices-whether smartphones or tablets - we could take advantage of the games and utilities designed for phones without a noticeable loss of quality, despite differences in the size of the panel between phones and tablets. For devices with larger screen sizes that besets Loss Pack is much more.

Shopping Guide: 10 key points to buy a tablet

Shopping Guide: 10 key points to buy a tablet

The growing market for tablets has raised more than one user if, when renewing your laptop, maybe I should not think the ability to jump to the attractive personal display technology. No wonder: the tablets offer a level of portability, ease of use and in many cases, autonomy sometimes are unbeatable for a laptop or netbook. However, it is sometimes difficult to consider what device to choose between the forest of options that are in the market. Let's see what criteria should you follow to select the tablet q ue best suits our needs.

Screen Size

So. That size matters. It's not the same drive a seven-inch panel to another it is significantly above the ten-inch, nor inquire contained in a horizontal format to do so in a more aimed at the classic 4:3. Given this, what kind of screen is better? It is difficult to pin down. In fact, impossible.

Each user will feel more comfortable with a choice. If we want to enjoy an unprecedented resolution, we can choose the new iPad, which at 9.7 inches distributes a total of 2,048 x 1,536 pixels-the most powerful of the market definition. If, however, we prefer a large area, the 10.1-inch models from Samsung, as the Galaxy or Galaxy Tab 10.1 10.1 Note - be our best option. There are other possibilities in this format, betting on widescreen formats, such as Packard Bell Liberty Tab.

Another possibility is to go for smaller formats. The seven inches is the star in that direction. It is a size that was opened by Samsung with its first Galaxy Tab, and today is available in models like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. In fact, the South Korean firm is one that has a fork full of proposals in this regard, since it also has in its catalog a model with panel of 7.7 inch and 8.9 inch. Nevertheless, continuing with the proposals in seven inch is coming soon in our country a device manufactured by Taiwan's Asus to Google, the Nexus 7, a terminal, as shown below, presents other arguments that make it very attractive -as the price and the operating system.

Operating System

Fundamental. It is not the same as having a terminal IOS-based Apple platform - Android-foil Google - or Windows-on future versions that Microsoft will showcase commercially from Autumn. Again, it is risky to make judgments about value. What we can do is put data on the table. IOS 5.1-after the summer will iOS 6 - is the system more dedicated applications for the Apple tablet: more than 250,000 programs and games, and more than 650,000 apps in total , contanto with iPhone and iPod Touch, which are interpolated to full screen display.

In the case of Android's decision will not only jump on the bandwagon of the green robot. Also, examine the full range touch tablets available-from the most economical, with prices around 100 euros, to the most advanced in excess of 500 euros - which will have different versions of the platform. The outdated versions will have more affordable - Android 2.2 FroYo - while the more advanced editions dedicated to bet for tablets.

In this sense, we'll meet again, with the choice between Android 3.0 Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. For now, this last option only found in the Nexus 7-and the Motorola Xoom, by upgrading. It is best done with a device with Ice Cream Sandwich: thus we ensure a greater margin of support in the applications that you download and have the option to upgrade to versions that we can come.

Design

For many, the design of the tablet will not be a determining factor when deciding on either team. But this is a very interesting section view of the proposals that populate the market. The vast majority of available terminals are practically identical in this sense, beyond the dimensions and proportions in its construction, although some stand devices argue precisely in terms of appearance. There are three terminals in this line, we could bring up. On the one hand, Sony and Sony Tablet Tablet S P.

The first part of a price of 400 euros, and has a back that describes a small wedge that is useful to write about when they lodge in touch screen on a horizontal surface. The second, which is available from 500 euros, is more original. It is a tablet with two parallel screens, the Nintendo DS style, and a clamshell design, so that when closed compact dimensions resembling a small case.

On the other hand, it is interesting to consider the purchase of Toshiba AT200, which advocates a surprising thickness of only 7.7 millimeters, as the main defining value. It also has some interesting features, capable of competing with other Android devices and a very reasonable price of 500 euros.

¿Wi-Fi or 3G?

Here the plot thickens. The rule is clear in all makes and models: issues with 3G connectivity, that is, to access high speed mobile data, will require additional expenditure to which only have access to the Internet via Wi-Fi. So you have to consider whether you really worth paying a few hundred dollars more, this is usually the difference between models with and without 3G - in addition to committing to a subscription of data with the carrier of your choice.

In this sense, think about where you will use the tablet mostly. If you have most of the time at home or office, is more than possible that the Wi-Fi model of your favorite tablet is more than enough. Remember that many of the smartphones that populate the market Hotspot options available, so you could share the mobile connection in the street to connect via Wi-Fi sensor of the tablet. Otherwise, if you give intensive outside the influence of wireless home networks or professional, would you consider investing more in the 3G version of the terminal of your choice.

Local Connections

The debate marked the USB tablet market since its inception. When first introduced the iPhone, back in 2010, critics were primed with the device lacking the standard connector that delights users' computers and laptops. However, is it so important the presence of USB or microUSB jacks?

There are terminals, such as models of Samsung, who have also opted for proprietary connections that unless we use adapters, can not be linked with other devices via USB. Since the tablets are designed to find information online, rather than to insert or remove, it makes little sense as a primary value the presence of USB or microUSB. However, it does have its importance.

For starters, the USB is, as we say, a standard in many cases provide functions for data traffic, you can synchronize information with a computer, play content from an external computer or a portable modem prick - and recharge your battery. And given his status as standard, we use the same cables with other devices would be worth us to the tablet. Otherwise, it is essential to be done with cables or adapters owners who sell us the manufacturers of tablet.

Another issue is the palette that offers more connections than USB and the dock owner. Remember that if you use the tablet as a multimedia platform, connecting to the TV in the living room, for example, to play movies or videos hosted on the Internet - you interested in testing the device has physical options for high-definition output through HDMI or MHL -, or wireless-DLNA, in the case of Android, or Airplay for iPad -. The presence of GPS and Bluetooth will also enrich the experience of using the device.

Multimedia

There are two fundamental points when assessing a tablet in media playback criteria: the supported formats and storage media. Regarding the former, Android handsets are richer and complete. The vast majority of market terminals play almost anything you want: from the usual MP4 or WMV to advanced DivX and MKV HD. We talk about video, clear audio issues because we should not worry about anything: we will find virtually no trouble hearing any sound file. Similarly, in the case of Android tablets, many facilities will have to enter in the memory of the device. Attendees may use applications, such as Samsung Kies, if the terminals of the Korean company - or make the computer detect the computer as an external storage unit.

There are, however, facilities that we have in IOS. Unless you resort to tricks or breakouts-by Jailbreak - everything we put in the iPad will happen, necessarily, for iTunes. This not only conditions us when to choose and order freely to channel content. In addition, we will determine the supported files. By converters and third party applications not covered could transform files among formats supported in permissible content, which, seen thus, can become a nuisance.

Cameras

Some believe that it makes little sense to put cameras on a tablet. Due to its characteristics, can be quite ridiculous to these devices to take pictures. At least with the main camera. However, positions to concentrate on the computer functions, you better be extra to be missing. Most terminals in category Android bet by a combo dual cameras, where the main sensor would have three to five megapixels, while the secondary unit, located on the front of the tablet-would shift between VGA resolution and quality two-megapixel camera. The iPad, in this sense, has a combination of five-megapixel sensor in the main and secondary VGA. However, we could also find devices which dispense with one of the two units, the back, especially. Such is the case, for example, the Nexus 7 from Asus and Google.

Memory

Is it important to justify the choice of a model that integrates memory? Sometimes yes. However, what can condition the purchase of one or other device sometimes not so much memory to load standard as the possibility of expanding the internal capacity with external drives. The iPhone, for example, will not give us this option. We'll have to settle for options 16, 32 or 64 GB without any choice of having more capacity-beyond the solutions in the cloud, which is available to any other terminal. In the case of few non-Android models this possibility is available to several models. The Acer Iconia, for example, allow us to install microSD cards up to 32 GB extra, the Sony Tablet S also supports memory expansion-indeed, in this case, memory is contingent on the card that you say.

Processor

Again, the hairpin is opened possibilities. It is likely that most users do not pay attention to this section, although the choice of either model for its price is strongly influenced by the power that develops on account of your processor. In this regard, in the vast majority of cases we will find units of one or two cores, and at least four cores. To sample the new iPhone, introduced in 2012, carries a dual-core unit, significantly faster than the iPad 2. But there are many models of Android group that have been decided by the four cores. In short, we will see in stores 10.1 Note the Galaxy, one of the banners of the Korean company in this group. China's Huawei will also climb on the bandwagon of quad-core, and even Asus has in mind a model of your Transformer of this family.

Autonomy

The netbook is afraid of the tablet. Even some laptops are thrown to tremble at the personal screens. It is not by power but by autonomy. If we think of the tablets as digital entertainment platforms and windows to query data on the network, which provides the versatility of these terminals blush comes to laptops. And of course, autonomy does not help them raise their heads on the tablets. In some cases, and measuring very specific conditions of use and use-only web browsing over Wi-Fi - could withstand a constant duration of up to ten hours as official rates. Such is the case of IPAD.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 claims to support nine to 72 hours, depending on if we play the music or video continuously, respectively. The powerful Asus Eee Pad Transformer, meanwhile, we can hold between 9.5 and fourteen hours, depending on its use or not to dock ANADER a physical keyboard at all. So, how much notice is capable of supporting the autonomy of the devices you have in mind among the possible choices to make with a tablet, and that ultimately can make a big difference depending on the model you finally select.

Google Nexus 7 from Asus, in-depth analysis

Google Nexus 7 from Asus, in-depth analysis

Google returns to the charge in introducing several new meeting with the developers. With the new version of its operating system, Android 4.1 " Jelly Bean ", the Mountain View wanted to leave us an example of what can be done with it. It was an open secret, but now it's official. Google already has its own tablet , called Nexus 7 and is manufactured by Asus .

Google has opted to enter the field of small tablets, low cost, diverging from the most powerful brands in the industry, Apple and Samsung . While watching the data sheet of the tablet does not seem to have much to envy her older sisters, beyond the screen size. For the performance, size and price, it seems designed to compete directly with Amazon Kindle Fire , tablet low cost most successful to date.

Here we review in depth the Google Nexus 7

Design and Display

Google is left with the seven inches. It is the smallest size of what we think unequivocally tablet. Below this is not clear to us whether it is a phone or a tablet , above the range is enormous. It has rounded edges and a light appearance. Tablet is a light, with just 340 grams in weight.

For the screen size bearing, the resolution is quite adequate. 1280 × 800 pixels, which usually consider HD. It is a good resolution for a tablet, especially for the small screen size with which we have on this. The screen also has glass reinforced Gorilla Glass, a detail that will please many, it avoids nasty scratches and breakage.

Even so, many still be growing clear to do with a tablet of this size. In principle, their small size, portability would be giving priority over the convenience of a larger screen. However, no connection has 3G , so it depends on a network WiFi access to Internet . In addition, most studies show that the tablets mainly used in our homes.

The small size also reduces the cost, why Google may have opted for this format. Stand up to large sector of the larger tablets may have fancied them too risky to people Larry Page.

Connectivity

As mentioned, this tablet Google (or Asus, who is the factory) has given up the 3G connection. In the rest of chapter connections you have looked a lot more detail. It has WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0.

Also as with NFC wireless. This technology enables the exchange of data at high speed between two devices that are within walking distance, no more than 10 centimeters. Many devices are beginning to include the NFC in the specification, since the speed can be much higher than other wireless technologies. Furthermore, the NFC will soon be able to make payments in shops, although this option seems more suitable for mobile phones that tablet.

The Nexus 7 also has GPS , a function that combines perfectly with the new updates to Google Maps . This to download a section of a map to read offline. Using a 7-inch tablet as a browser can be a pleasure or torture. Find a way to place it on the dashboard of the car can be tricky, but the visibility of a tablet is much greater than that of a browser than 4 inches.

As a physical connection, the Nexus 7 has a microUSB port. This port is for connecting to another computer and transfer files. With the same battery charging port of the tablet, via an adapter. Connecting to a computer can also load, albeit at a much slower pace. It also has a headphone jack. This tablet does not have a microSD card slot. Google has chosen to trace the Apple system in terms of internal storage, offering different capacities with various prices, and preventing memory expansion card.

Camera and multimedia

The camera is not far from the brightest part of this tablet. Has only one in the front, primarily engaged in video conferencing. It has a resolution of 1.3 megapixels, so it does not seem well suited to take good pictures. In the back, Google has decided not to include a camera. Although it may seem a disadvantage at the moment of truth are few users who use the camera of a tablet to take pictures.

Operating System and Applications

The operating system is the great novelty of this tablet. With Google Nexus 7, the American premiere the new version of Android: 4.1 Jelly Bean (bean jelly) . This release has been the star of the presentation from Google and the company wants to highlight its fluidity. Developments rather than spectacular, this version aims to run faster and lighter on the devices. Android had been criticized for this very reason, as the two rival operating systems, IOS and Windows Phone, are quite lighter.

Power and memory

The Nexus 7 comes equipped with a quad core processor Tegra 3, which yields to 1.3 GHz. It also has 1GB of RAM. It is a good power for a tablet, although it stands out from its competitors. If we pay attention to Google, with the new version of Android, this power should be enough for the computer running smooth and without blocking.

As for internal memory, has chosen not to allow additional storage via memory cards. They sell two models, one with 8 GB of storage and one with 16 GB. Obviously this second will be priced higher.

This is the time when Google had the tablet

Autonomy and availability

The tablet has a battery of 4,325 mAh. With this figure, the manufacturer claims it can hold 9 hours of video playback using one of the most demanding of the battery. As the availability, Google has clarified only when it will be available in the U.S., UK and Australia. In these countries may be purchased shortly, in the middle of next month. In the world we will have to wait until September.

The price is probably the most important aspect of this tablet. Compete in the league of cheap, trying to approach the public that considers the edge tablets too expensive. It will sell in two versions. The humblest, with 8 GB of internal memory, will cost 200 euros, while the top model of 16 GB, will reach 250 euros.

Samsung tells us why the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is better

Samsung tells why the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is better

The company Samsung is ready to defend tooth and nail the technical specifications of their new tablets and specifically, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 . The truth is that the firm is willing to convince customers that your device is a high-tech piece of very good quality compared with other tablets from the competition. 

Do not forget, in this connection that the American company Amazon has brought out a device called Kindle Fire that competes head-on with all the tablets that are being presented to date, including the new iPhone. And is that Amazon released the Kindle Fire at a price much more affordable when compared to other devices, since it is on sale for $ 250, which would be about 190 euros at current exchange rates. Not content with the presentation of the tablet, Samsung has sought to clarify all the features and advantages of the Korean tablet.

 

All three devices at the time, the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, the Amazon Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet share a dual ARM core, running at a speed of 1 GHz. RAM device from Samsung, however, comes to 1 GB, which does not happen with the Kindle Fire, which barely reaches 512 MB, as the tablet Nook. In the latter case, Barnes & Noble has decided to create a new edition of 1 GB. 

All three devices feature a user memory of 8 GB, but only the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and the Nook offers the user the possibility to extend this capability with microSD memory cards up to 32 GB. In this sense, the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 runs through the operating system Android in its version 4.0, the last one the company unveiled Google , also known as the Ice Cream Sandwich . The other two devices hit the market running Android 2.3 Gingerbread .

The screens are exactly the same, arriving at seven inches and a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 also incorporates a three-megapixel camera, plus a 0.3 megapixel front camera we come phenomenal when making video calls. The Samsung device also features 802.11 WiFi , Bluetooth and GPS options that are not operational in the Kindle Fire and Nook. All of these devices also incorporate a battery 4000 milliamperes, although the Kindle Fire integrates a piece capable of 4,400. The measures are virtually identical, though the Nook is a little larger by a few tenths.

It is clear that price is a little different. The Samsung tablet costs $ 250, Kindle Fire is labeled by 200 and the Nook costs 200 or $ 250, depending on whether we choose the 8 GB or 16 GB. Customers who have purchased the Samsung tablet also can access the application download via Google Play, Samsung App Store Apps and Amazon. The owners of either tablet will have access to their shops. 

This is reality. In any case, there are some important features not included in the devices from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. We refer basically to connectivity issues. In this case, the user will have to assess your needs and choose the tablet that correspond to the functions you want to perform.

Kindle Fire, will have Facebook, Twitter and many apps

But that's not all, since the tablet Amazon offers a particularly interesting experience for fans of social networking. We say this because it has direct access to sites like Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIN, as the main meeting places - both family and professional or informative - through the Web

But you know what features of the Kindle Fire? Well, I told you, because the sheet is most nutritious. To begin with, has a 7-inch multitouch screen and a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, and a depth of up to 16 million colors.

With the initial memory will have the opportunity to store a whopping 80 applications, 10 movies, 800 songs and up to 6,000 books, which is something.

The device has a dual core processor running at a speed of 1.2 GHz and the Froyo Android 2.1 operating system. We'll see if you can upgrade to higher versions. For now, we can ensure connectivity Wi-F i , but dispenses with the 3G . It will have a battery that will ensure a range of up to 8 hours or so.

Additionally, the device also features interesting games like 'Plants vs. zombies', 'Fruit Ninja' or 'Doodle Jump', notorious for the large majority of gamers.
