Tablet PC Guide - PC Supporter

Creative Mind Android , Apple

2013 is the age of Modern technology - Touch Screen computing & Smart gadgets - The Tablet PC Guide 2013.

by James Hunt - Micro Mart Magazine

It's clear now that tablet PCs are no fad. Beginning with the launch of the high-price, low-powered iPad 1 in April 2010 and culminating with the release of the low-price, high-powered Nexus 7 in July 2012, tablets have gone from being a niche, luxury-only computing peripheral to the latest must-have accessory.

To keep up with technology in 2013, you either have a tablet or you're buying one soon.

However, the fast pace of the tablet world means you can be forgiven for struggling to keep up with the changes to software, hardware, pricing and manufacturing. Sometimes it seems like there's a new tablet every other week, each better and more desirable than the last. Rather than leave you to fend for yourself, we've put together this six-page guide to tablets in 2013 - those that are on Shelves now, those that are being released soon, what you might want to look for if you're buying a tablet and what, if anything, you should avoid.

Here we are describing some features you must know if you are going to purchase a Tablet device.

What Screen Do I Want?

Tablet screens range in size from tech near pocket-sized 5" versions to a comparatively colossal 12 inches on the largest devices, but it is much more typical for screens to be between seven and 10.1 inches in size. Note that this is a diagonal measurement, so a 7" screen is actually has almost half of the visual real estate of a 10" screen (hence the moniker 'mini-tablet' to refer to devices in the 7" to 8" device class.)

While it's tempting to assume that 10" screens automatically better for being larger, there are benefits to 7" devices. Not only are they more portable (it's possible to comfortably hold them in one hand - something that may appeal to those planning to use a tablet as an e-reader), but they're often able to make better use of their technical capabilities, because they're managing fewer graphical resources.

Rather than the screen size, though, pay attention to the resolution. At a minimum, any device you consider buying in 2013 should have a resolution of at least 1024x768 (or similar), but the higher the resolution, the sharper text and images will be - especially when zoomed in. Apple�s Retina display remains the gold standard for tablets, offering a resolution of 2048x1536 on the iPad third- and fourth-generation�s 9.7� screen. The likes of the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD are better-performing in the 7� device class, however, with their 1280x800 resolution easily trumping the iPad Mini�s 1024x768.

How Much Storage Is Appropriate?

Storage is one of the most widely varying factors in the tablet market. Tablets use solid-state drives, which are compact, quiet, shock-resistant and less power-hungry than hard drives. That said, the expense of SSD memory means that tablets therefore have much less space than modern laptops and desktops - typically between 4GB and 64GB.

The amount of built-in storage cannot be changed or upgraded, although many tablets do have slots for memory cards (usually micro-SD), which can be used to add removable storage. Some notable exceptions to this rule are Apple�s iPad range, no model of which has any provision for removable storage, the Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and the Nexus 7, which will only support SD cards and USB flash drives after a combination of software modifications and additional hardware purchases.

The lack of expandable space on such popular devices is something of a contrivance designed to push consumers towards the more expensive, higher-capacity devices. However, the relatively small amounts of storage on modern tablets, combined with their ubiquitous internet connections, has led to an increase in the popularity of cloud storage systems. Apps such as DropBox and SkyDrive allow tablet users to utilise the internet for storage of data, minimizing the trouble associated with a lack of space.

Nonetheless, cloud storage is far from a perfect replacement, and even SD cards can prove fiddly. We�d suggest buying a device with at least 16GB if a model is available. That should be enough to last you the two to three years of the tablet�s life without becoming inadequate.

Does The Processor Matter?

When looking for a tablet, you can expect a number of other components as standard, but some vary from model to model or between manufacturers. The amount of memory and storage space often differs wildly, as does support for external devices and flash memory. Portability factors such as battery life, weight and screen size should also be considered. However, as with desktops and notebooks, the processor is perhaps the chief indicator of how a tablet PC will perform. The most popular tablets run on ARM-based Cortex chips, but a minority run on Intel chips, and there�s even variation within both brands.

Unlike Intel, which develops and manufactures its own processors, ARM Holdings only designs the chips, then licenses the designs for other companies to produce, meaning that there are often multiple variations of single architectures. The most popular chip at the moment is the Cortex-A9, which is the basis for the Apple A5 & A5X chips (used in the iPad 2 and iPad 3), the Nvidia Tegra 2 and 3 (used in the Google Nexus 7 and Microsoft Surface), and the TI OMAP 4 (used in the Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD).

While it�s fair to say that devices based on the same chipset have comparable performance to one another, the actual speeds experienced by the user will of course depend on the hardware and software resources available - in particular, the amount of RAM or model of GPU. It is, however, fair to say that the A9 devices are better than the A8 devices, and that the next ARM model (the Cortex-A15) will similarly outclass them both when manufacturers are ready to introduce it later this year.

Although ARM processors undoubtedly have the edge, there are a number of tablets running on Intel hardware, and it�s usually Intel, since unlike the desktop market, AMD does not have a major foothold producing Intel-compatible chips for tablets. Intel�s low-power and portable chips allow tablet PCs to run Windows 7 and 8, although at speeds closer to netbooks than laptops. More powerful tablets may contain full-size Core i5 processors, of the kind found in desktops and powerful notebooks. The increased performance capacity makes for a better Windows experience, but they are less compact and consume more power than mobile chips, meaning a worse battery life and a larger, less portable form factor.

For Windows users here are 6 features your Windows Tablet PC must have, before you go and select one to purchase.

Samsung Galaxy Note-II - Smartphone or Tablet

Creative Mind Android , Notebook

Comparing to a Tablet Device, Samsung Galaxy Note - II have everything identical, specially a 5.5 inches of large display screen.

Samsung Galaxy Note-II

A smartphone this broad and tall falls more naturally into two-handed operation actually. There is no denying this is a large device, even by modern mobile standards. It's around 151mm high and 81m wide, and 9.9mm thick. Weighted including a cover flap that wraps around the front, it was 214g, which is not insubstantial.

According to physical functionality, it seems very comfortable to operate with two hands, one to hold and one to tap. Samsung offers an option within Android's Settings titled 'One handed operation', which places the onscreen keyboard, Dial-pad and Calculator to one side. But as still its Dial-up icons are unreachable to single hand thumb, you should dial it with two hands.

Structure and Key Feature

The build is plastic, but good, feeling weighty and all of a piece in the hand. The screen quality is excellent, and it doesn't reveal the same over ripe coloring of other Samsung Super AMOLED displays.

Camera

Picture quality from the rear 8Mp camera is not bad, high contrast areas show purple fringing, although the camera is fast in operation. Recorded HD video is usable, but its suffers from focus hunting issues even in good light. Shot footage looked smeary on even slow pans.

Interior Specifications

by PC Advisor Magazine

The Note II's innards are very similar to those of the Galaxy S III. Inside is a Samsung Exynos 4412 SoC based on a quad-core ARM, but clocked at 1.6- rather than 1.4GHz. This is the fastest clocked ARM smartphone we've seen and, combined with Android's latest 4.1 Jelly Bean OS, it bodes well for performance.

Jelly Bean promises smoother graphics, here powered by an ARM Mali-400 MP GPU. It's relatively speedy, and faster than the nVidia Tegra 3, if wel short of the fastest available mobile graphics solutions.

In our performance tests, the Note II approached the capability of the iPhone 4S. It managed 17fps in the Egypt HD test, against 19fps for the previous generation Apple phone. The iPhone 5 played the same benchmark at 38fps. Other test results like Gauge Processor speed test and SunSpider JavaScript test also was better then iPhone 5, which is remarkable.

Battery Life is also not bad, as PC Advisor Magazine says "We found battery life good enough to last two days of sporadic use, in park thanks to a large 11.78Wh removable battery packed inside".

5 Top Features Your Ultrabook Must Have

Creative Mind Hardware Review , Intel

5 Top Features Your Ultrabook Must Have if you prefer to buy one rather than MacBook Air.

According to your use and profession If you consider that Ultrabook suits you more than MacBook Air or you are interested to buy an Ultrabook rather than MacBook Air, so there are some actual features your Ultrabook must have.

According to style, features and something that called Trend, Apple's MacBook Air is a top Notebook but on other side Intel's super fast chipped Ultrabooks is more liked because of its compatibility and user friendly environment operating system (Windows).

So you have decided you want to buy an Ultrabook rather than a MacBook Air? Here are 5 top features to consider before making your purchase.

Quality Construction

Quality Construction - Ultrabook

Many of the unique or unusual characteristics about Ultrabooks come about because they're so thin, a height of three quarters of an inch, and even less in some cases. One of the most important of these is the systems' tendency to feel flimsy. Because most laptops don't sit at home on your desk all the time, you want the sturdiest on you can find, whether it's open or closed.

Keyboard

Keyboard - Ultrabook

Key travel on Ultrabooks is frequently shallow, after all, there's not a lot of room to house big, strong keys! This won't be a problem for everyone, but if you're a hard core typist or if you are going to need your laptop for work, you'll want to pay special attention to the keyboard. If you can, try typing on an Ultrabook you're interested in before you take it home to get an idea of how it feels beneath your fingers. You don't want to buy a notebook you won't enjoy typing on.

Port Selection

Port Selection - Ultrabook

The reduced height of ultrabooks causes problems with ports as well. Many systems simply don't have room for Ethernet ports, some have far fewer USB ports than you may be used to (may be only one or two), and still others may come with dongles that give you the ports but add inconvenience to the package. Knowing what you need, so you know what you'll need to put up with, is an especially good way to go here.

Touch Screen

Touch-Screen - Ultrabook

Although not a part of the standard ultrabook specs, and previously impossible to find on many systems, touch screens should now be considered a necessity. The new tile based Windows 8 interface was designed for touch, and the operating system just doesn't deliver the same experience without it. A laptop with a traditional touchpad will work, but it won't be anywhere near as intuitive. To get the most out of your Windows 8 Ultrabook, make sure it comes with a touch screen.

Wireless Display

Intel's Wireless Display technology (usually shortened to WiDi) lets you stream HD content over the air to your HDTV, rather than forcing you to connect your set to your laptop with an HDMI cable. You'll need a separate adapter, like Netgear's $100 Push2TV (pictured here), to make it work, but if you're really into entertainment you'll easily find WiDi capability worth the extra investment.

MacBook vs Ultrabook - A Comparison by PC Supporter

Creative Mind Apple , Intel

Lets Compare MacBook and Ultrabooks in a slightly different angle. The source is once again PC Magazine and we just present an overall review about all features.

Although Apple's paper thin laptop has quite a bit in common with Intel Ultrabooks, in a few ways we describe below they are significantly different.

Source: PC Magazine

DESIGN

You can't ignore the Apple aesthetic the company's computers always look terrific, and the chic shape and sly silver coloring of the MacBook Air make it among the sharpest of all. Outward attractiveness is not an official part of Intel's ultrabook plan, so you may find something sparkling or something ordinary; it all depends on what choices the manufacturer makes.

COMPONENTS

Everything that goes into a MacBook Air or pretty much any other Apple computer, for that matter must meet Apple's strict requirements and interface properly with the OS X operating system, so every time you pick up an Apple computer you know what you're going to get. Many ultrabook manufacturers, on the other hand, want to keep costs down, and therefore exert less control over the hardware they include. This doesn't mean it will be inferior to what Apple uses, but it does mean that with ultrabooks, as with most other PCs, performance and compatibility characteristics are not as easy to predict. If you can, try before you buy to make sure the touchpad, keyboard, and general responsiveness are what you're looking for.

DISPLAY

The screen on the 11 inch MacBook Air maxes out at a resolution of 1,366 by 768, and the 13.3 inches display at 1,440 by 900. Those are decent specs, and the displays look good, but forget about watching full 1080p video on them, 720p is all they can handle. Most ultrabooks have screen resolutions similar to Apple's, but some out there are capable of displaying full 1080p (1,920 by 1,080) video.

Storage

All of Apple's MacBook Airs are loaded with from 64GB to 512GB of flash storage, making for incredible data access speeds; traditional spinning hard drives are not even an option on the Apple machines. Ultrabooks, however, can come with either, thus requiring the user to choose between storage that's plentiful, inexpensive, and slow, or limited, pricey, and very fast.

CONNECTORS

Any seriously diminutive system is going to have an extremely restricted port selection. What has really defined the MacBook Air to this point has been its Thunderbolt port, which combines PCI Express and Displayport protocols for high speed connections to devices as diverse as hard drives and external monitors, and is about as small as ports get. Thunderbolt ports haven't appeared on PC based ultrabooks yet, but it's only a matter of time until this changes.

HOW THIN AND LIGHT IS THE FUTURE?

As ultrabooks are scarcely more than a year old, it's tough at this point to see how they'll shake out long term. But despite some early stumbles and iffy sales numbers, the form is likely to hang on for a while maybe a long while. As computing devices grow smaller but users want larger amounts of power, they'll have to evolve to stay relevant. But because they're full, feature rich systems, they have more room to grow than is probably the case with even the best tablets and smartphones. Intel will undoubtedly face competition from other imitators, HP came out with an AMD based Sleekbook, for example but it will continue to dominate on the PC side for the time being.

Not that this means there's any chance the MacBook Air will go anywhere. One of Apple's defining (and most striking) products, it's still the first thing people think of when they think of ultrathin laptops and so far no Intel ultrabook has come close to changing that. The biggest threat to the MacBook Air is Apple itself; Can company devise something better to replace it? If not, expect it to continue receiving yearly updates that make it thinner, more powerful, and more exciting.

In any event, super thin laptops are here to stay, all that remains to be seen is where they go next. How much smaller and skinnier can they get? Time will tell, but with Intel and Apple leading the charge and squaring off against each other every step of the way consumers will only benefit by seeing computers that get ever more portable even as they get ever more powerful.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100 - Review

Creative Mind Cyber-shot , Digital Camera

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100 - An Imaging Device for Professionals - Put it in Your Pocket & Carry With You for Dream Photography.

Source: PC Magazine

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is the point and shoot camera that many Professional's dreamed of. With a large image sensor its 3.6x zoom lens opens up to f/1.8 on the wide end, and it can slide into your back pocket easily to carry everywhere you go. The 20 megapixel RX100 picture quality superb that can justifies its cost.

Structure - Features & Design

Measuring 2.4 by 4 by 1.4 inches (HWD) and weighing 8.5 ounces, the RX100 is only slightly larger than the Canon PowerShot S100. This is impressive considering that the S100's image sensor is a mere 1/1.7 inches in size, the RX100's 1 inch sensor boasts more than 2.5 times the surface area. Though the lens is fast and the sensor large enough to create a nice out of focus blur behind subjects, you shouldn't expect the RX100 to produce images that are quite as good as those from a D-SLR camera; they are better than you'd expect from a point and shoot camera, but you are still sacrificing some image quality for portability.

The lens is a 3.6x zoom (due to its compact size), covering a 328-100mm (35mm equivalent) field of view. It opens up to f/1.8 at its widest, narrows to f/3.2 by 50mm, and closes down at f/4.9 at its extreme. One of the weak points of the RX100 is its lack of any sort of eye level viewfinder. There's no accessory pot to add one, nor is there a hot shoe. What you'll use to frame and review images is the rear LCD. At 3 inches, it features a staggering 1,1229k-dot resolution, about a third more than a competing 921k-dot displays. Sony has added white pixels in addition to the standard red, green, and blue, resulting in an LCD that is brilliant even when viewed in bright sunlight.

Controls will satisfy the demands of serious shooters, but aren't perfect. Save for the shutter release, zoom rocker, Mod dial, Menu, Playback, On/Off. Display, EV Compensation, and Help buttons, the RX100's physical controls are largely customizable. The front and rear control wheels are a bit quirky when you're adjusting ISO, you need to move the wheel to the left to increase the sensitivity and to the right to reduce it, the opposite of the wheel's usual behavior, but the control system is otherwise well designed.

The Camera's flash hides inside the body when not in use, popping up at the half press of the shutter button once it's been enabled. It sits on a hinged neck, which makes it possible to tilt it back with your left index finger and to bounce light off of a ceiling. It's not powerful enough to act in this capacity in, say, a ballroom, but for snaps around the house using this method will help to soften the light. Of course, there's also Flash Compensation available, so you can reduce the power output to provide just a little bit of fill when you're not using it as a bounce flash.

Performance & Actions

The RX100 is a little slow to start up, but is otherwise a speed demon, there's virtually no shutter lag thanks to quick, accurate autofocus. When shooting JPEGs in its Speed Priority mode it can capture a burst of ten shots in a second, although if you're shooting in Raw the camera takes 2 seconds for the same ten shot burst.

As measured by Imatest, the RX100's lens helped it deliver highly sharp shots through the entirety of its zoom range with, at most, 0.2 percent pincushion distortion. Noise is also not an issue, it stays below 1.5 percent through the camera's top ISO of 6400. JPEGs look excellent through ISO 800, very good at 1600, and pretty good at 3200; comparing Raw and JPEG files side by side, there's very little evidence of noise reduction in the JPEGs at the top ISO settings.

Video is recorded in AVCHD format at 1080p60 or 1080i60 resolution. The lens zooms in and out quietly while recording, and the focus keeps details clear and sharp.

The micro USB port doubles as a charging mechanism for the battery, and there's a micro HDMI port for connecting to an HDTV. In addition to SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards, Sony also supports its own proprietary formats.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 doesn't have the largest sensor of all zooming point and shoots, but it focuses fast, is consistently sharp, and can capture images with a shallow depth of field. You won't find better photos forma a camera that fits in your pocket.

Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB SSD

Creative Mind Data , Hardware Review

Best Price, Top-End Performance | Best Solid State Drive

Where once the SSD was the preserve of enthusiasts with deep pockets, these days there are so many drives to choose from that the struggle to get them out to the market at a competitive price has become especially cut throat.

Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB SSD

As price continue their slow downward fall, the 120/128GB capacity has become the sweet spot, so much so that at these capacities the magic �1 per gigabyte barrier has at last been broken for SSDs. And that's been a long time coming.

To try and leverage a better price point of the HyperX 3K series, Kingston has used 3K NAND memory (hence the 3K tag) instead of the 5K NAND of the original HyperX drives.

The 3K label means the NAND should last up to 3,000 full writes of the new drive's maximum capacity versus the 5,000 full writes of the original HyperX. Because of this the NAND is less expensive helping to drive the price down while retaining the pace you expect of a drive carrying the HyperX branding.

Kingston quote sequential read/write figures of 555MB/s and 510MB/s respectively for the drive, confirmed by a quick bas through the ATTO benchmark. Our drive produced figures of 551MB/s and 512MB/s for read/write speeds respectively.

As with all SandForce controlled drives its handling of incompressible data isn't anywhere near as impressive as it is with compressible files; something that is quite nicely illustrated in the AS SSD benchmark. When tested in the default incompressible mode the drive gives up a sequential write score of 171MB/s. Switching to testing compressible data with CrystalMark this jumps to an impressive 466MB/s.

Hyped Drive

For incompressible performance, then, it drops behind the likes of the Marvel-based Corsair Performance Pro, but eh HyperX 3K still manages to hold its own against the other SandForce drives.

When it comes to the drive's internals, Kingston has turned to Intel for the NAND chips. With eight chips housed on either side of the PCB, and with the SancForce 2281VB1 controlled joining group on the board.

Although the new drive uses NAND with reduced program/erase cycles than the original HyperX drives, in practice most people will come nowhere near the drive's write limits. What it does do, however, is put a drive with enthusiast performance at a price point in reach of a lot more people.

Our review drive was standalone product that comes with just a 3.5in bracket and mounting screws. If you're looking for more extras, then the drive is available in a full upgrade bundle, which adds a 2.5in USB external enclosure, cloning software, a fancy screwdriver and SATA data cable to the mix for �130.

At the standard price tag there is simply nothing not to like. It's great performing drive for a fantastic price. The SandForce controller may not be the fastest any more, but will still make a difference to your PC.

3 Massive Apps for HTC Explorer

Creative Mind Android , HTC

HTC Explorer: A low budget Android Smartphone, Running on Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, having HTC Sense 3.5 and 3.2inch HVGA resolution Touch-Screen.

A very common �low memory� notification is a serious headache for HTC Explorer users specially for social-network�s geeks. Whenever you try to download more than two or three apps from Google Play Store, that notification will warn you every time that you are using a low budget smartphone with a low internal memory.

There is an option to move apps to SD Card, but apps like Facebook and Twitter causing a big trouble as they do not have a move to SD Card option and they are very big on memory also.

Performance-wise the HTC Explorer is superb, with 600MHz of processor it gives a much high-end output every time. But the problem is to choose apps, which will gently fits in HTC Explorer�s limited memory, to resist its low memory notification.

These three social networking apps will not effect too much on HTC Explorer�s memory as they can be easily move to SD Card to wipe up some additional internal storage.

1. Instagram

Instagram is a very cool and trendy photo sharing & editing app for Android Operating system. Due to very common in-use on social networks these days like Facebook and Twitter, everyone of you would like to install it in your phone but as it requires at least 12MB of space you will definitely not interested to get it although it�s a free app, but it has a move to SD Card option which is a good news. So don�t worry go ahead and get one to show-up your colleagues that you also have a high-end device. To read more about Instagram or download, visit the Google Play Store

2. Flipboard

Flipboard is a kind of Social News Magazine, lets you find and see everything in one place. By bringing together the world's stories and life's great moments, you can stay up to date with the things that matter most. Flip through the news from your Twitter timeline as well as from outlets like the BBC, USA Today and The Verge. See everything from posts and photos shared by friends on Facebook and Instagram to videos from Stephen Colbert and pop culture nuggets from Rolling Stone. Find inspiration for your travel, style and life from places like National Geographic, Oprah and Cool Hunting. It requires only 2.3MB of space to be installed and covers upto only 4.95MB after installation. As it don�t support to move to SD Card option, but its not very worthy on memory. To read more about Filpboard or download, visit the Google Play Store.

3. Plume for Twitter

Google Play store have a specific category on their front cover, �HTC Recommends� , which shows you a large collection of free and paid top apps, inside that I find Plume for Twitter, one of the best Twitter clients for Android, also you can connect your Facebook account with Plume to get updates from your friends. The Twitter for Android app will cover more than 7MB of free space while its not movable to SD Card, the Plume for Twitter will adjust within 3.5MB of space after installation and also movable to SD Card which is definitely makes it better than Twitter for Android. To read more about Plume for Twitter or download, visit the Google Play Store.

BlackBerry Curve 9220�Overview

Creative Mind BlackBerry , RIM

The most affordable RIM device with better battery life in the market for now.

Billed as the most affordable BlackBerry device, the new Curve 9220 is the successor to the older, and hugely popular in the market. The new Curve 9220 sports almost an identical size and design as the older 8520, (which is also a well known RIM device), but Curve 9220 has physically very identical and easy to press soft-keys for Call, Menu, Return, and End which is a nice addition, while the old 8520 have very flat soft-keys which were sometime make very hard to press.

As far as looks of the phone go, there�s nothing special to write or discuss about. It�s a signature BlackBerry smartphone, and the one most affordable in price range.

The BlackBerry Curve 9220�s 1450mAh big battery is rather the best thing about the phone itself. On our testing base, we gets through a 24 hours on a fully charged battery and remains upto 20%. Beside all good things, one very regular feature sorely missed, which is GPS, and also apps with location requirement are also dispatched.

The Curve 8520 users will find their experience on the Curve 9220 almost heavenly, It actually seems on par with the 9300, and that�s probably also to do with the fact that the 9220 has double the memory specs. Regarding to IN and OUT call quality, this is a pretty standard BlackBerry handheld smartphone with great voice clarity until you drop to about one third signal strength. BlackBerry OS 7.1 feels good overall, but not as polished as some of its competitors.

Do you go after this device? If you want a brand new BlackBerry in a range of your pocket-money, this is it. If you only want BBM and you are not crazy about new apps, stick with the Curve 8520, but if you want GPS and 3G inside your budget, go and get Curve 3G 9300.

HTC One X � A Smart King

Creative Mind Android , Apple

Stonking performance, a stunning screen and one of HTC�s best designs make this a new smartphone king.

[PC Supporter]

PC Pro [Jul 2012]

Few of HTC�s offerings have threatened the smartphone industry�s top table of late, with its somewhat bland offerings largely overtaken by fancier phones from Samsung and Apple. But HTC�s latest flagship handset, the One X, looks set to take back lost ground.

It isn�t a phone we�d ever accuse of playing safe. The white rear, with its protruding silver camera lens, looks and feels superb, and we can�t fault HTC for build quality either. The One X is sturdy despite its 8.9mm-thick, 130g frame, and while there have been reports of the screen flexing when gripped tightly, that�s very fine indeed. The solid build can be put down to the construction, the One X is milled from a single block of polycarbonate, just like the Nokia Lumia 800.

It�s that screen that steals the show. It�s a 4.7in IPS panel with a resolution of 720 x 1280, that gives a pixel density of 312ppi not for behind the iPhone�s 330ppi and makes for consistently stunning experience. There�s plenty of space for full sized web pages, and text is pin sharp.

It isn�t only the increase in resolution; the quality is great, too. Its 490cd/m²maximum brightness can�t math the iPhone�s 581cd/m², but it�s far ahead of the Samsung Galaxy S II�s 300cd/m², and it�s matched with a contrast ratio of 1138, lending images a real solidity and depth.

Processing power comes from Nvidia�s 1.5GHz quad-core Tegra 3 chip, partnered with 1GB of RAM. Is has 32GB of storage, of which 26GB can be used for data and apps, but there�s no microSD card slot to add more. For communications you get the choice of 3G, 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 4, and it has NFC.

The specification makes the One X the most powerful smartphone we�ve tested. Its Quadrant benchmark score of 4927 streaks ahead of the 3460 scored by the Galaxy S II, and it completed the SunSpider benchmark in 2071ms. that�s a third quicker than the Samsung, and just ahead of the iPhone 4S.

No game stretched the HTC�s GPU. High octane shooter Shadowgun ran flawlessly, 3D adventure title Dungeon Defenders was similarly slick, and Reckless Racing 2 also delivered rock solid frame rates. A word of warning, though: while things were fine away from the mains, running these games while charging saw the handset grow unbearably hot. That aside, battery life was decent, with 60% of the 1800mAh power pack left after the 24 hour rundown test. Just don�t expect such longevity when gaming: a 30 minutes sting during a train commute saw the bar fall by almost a third.

The One X comes with Android 4 onboard, partnered with the latest version of HTC�s Sense UI. HTC has ditched the curved graphics at the bottom of each homescreen, replacing them with square icons, but it looks and functions as well as ever, with the usual line up of handy widgets.

HTC doesn�t bundle Beats branded headphones with this device, but the Beats audio kit inside the One X serves up bass heavy, a good quality sound.

It isn�t all good news, though. The Notification drawer has vanished, and virtually every app has a separate menu button that takes up a 96 pixel chunk across the bottom of the screen.

These are small complaints, however, with the 8 megapixel camera more than making amends. Quality is excellent, with sharp detail and accurate colors, and a flash is included. Shots are taken almost instantly, and there are panorama and burst modes too; the latter takes up to 99 shots as quickly as possible, and even picks the �best� one out for you. The camera also shoots 1080p video and, again, quality is excellent, autofocus is quick to lock on, and detail is extremely sharp.

The best camera & performance result, shown in this video clip.

It�s a fine all round package, then, but it�s impossible to ignore the shadow of Samsung�s impending Galaxy S III, It�s also said to have a 4.7in, 720 x 1280 screen, a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and Ice Cream Sandwich. If past standards are any indication, it may be the phone to beat.

For now, though, no other phone can match the HTC One X. It offers stupendous speed, a stunning screen, and a strong, attractive design, all of which combine to make it the best smartphone on the block. After something of a barren patch it�s good to see HTC back.

5 Bigger Screen Android Handsets From Mobile World Congress

Creative Mind Android , HTC

PC Tech & Authority Magazine

Mobile World Congress was held in Barcelona this year from 27th February to 1st March 2012.

Sony Xperia U

Mobile World congress was all about big screens and even bigger handsets this year, which makes the compact 3.5in Sony Xperia U a breath of fresh air. Equipped with Sony�s xLoud volume enhancement engine, 3d surround sound and the ability to wirelessly stream music to DLNA equipped speakers, the Xperia U is aimed squarely at tiny-handed musos. It�s powered by a 1GHx dual-core processor and will run on Gingerbread at launch. An Android 4.0 upgrade is expected in the second half of 2012. It�s finished with a transparent Xperia stripe which changes color to match the photo you�re viewing.

Samsung Galaxy Beam

There was no shortage of eccentric phones at this year�s Mobile World Congress 2012. (Nokia 41-megapixel PureView with Symbian Belle OS, anyone?) Falling into this quirky category is the Samsung Galaxy Beam, an Android 2.3 smartphone with an inbuilt projector. The Galaxy Beam comes with its own 15 lumens projector which allows you to �beam� your phone�s media onto a nearby flat surface. It sounds like a gimmick (and it is) but the ability to project 50-inch movies has us intrigued nonetheless.

HTC One X

A biggest standout of the year 2012 at Mobile World Congress, the HTC One X highlights include a 1.5GHz Tegra 3 quad-core processor, 4.7-in Gorilla Glass display, 1GB RAM and a robust 32GB of inbuilt storage running on Android 4.0. The OS has also been given an extra spit-and-polish courtesy of HTC�s Sense UI. Measuring 9.3mm at its thickest point and finished in durable polycarbonate, it looks as premium as you�d expect.

Asus Padfone

Asus has evolved its Transformer concept into the Padfone, an intriguing phone/tablet/netbook hybrid that attempts to combine three devices in one. The smartphone which powers the rest of the devices, comes with a 4.3-in Super AMOLED display and 1.5GHz Snapdragon CPU running on Android 4.0. With its UX laptop styling.

Huawei Ascend D Quad

Chinese manufacturer Huawei has exploded out of the budget mobile space with a suite of high-end offerings. The Huawei Ascend D quad is its new flagship with a 4.2-in Android 4.2 Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone equipped with a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, 5.1 Dolby surround sound, an 8MP camera and Full HD video recording. The Ascend D quad eschews Tegra 3 silicon in favour of a custom-built K3V2 quad-core chip for a purported 30% energy saving. An XL version is also in the pipeline, which adds a beefier 2500mAh battery.

Why to Choose Ultrabook | Guide for New Comers

Creative Mind Hardware Review , Laptops

They are the lightest and thinnest laptops yet and the biggest & very popular computing category of the years. Here is what you need to know when joining the Ultrabook generation. [By Eric Grevstad]

Tablets and Netbooks are Toys? Nope. The Holy Grail of Portable productivity is a no compromise laptop with a full-sized, comfortable keyboard; easy on the eyes display; all the performance and ports of a desktop replacement; the convenience of near instant on startup; and all day battery life all in a package so think and light you will forget it�s in your briefcase.

It�s not a new vision, but it has a big new backer or cheerleader in Intel, which at the Computex trade show in May 2011 sketched the outline of what it calls Ultrabooks. In August, the chip giant announced a $300 million marketing and R&D campaign for the new category. And by January 2012�s CES, Intel was boasting of 15-odd Ultrabooks on the market with another 60 designs in the pipeline.

If you would like to board this bandwagon, the first thing to know is that while Intel as a trademark on the capitalized word Ultrabook, it doesn�t have a monopoly on the idea. The 2.9-pound Apple MacBook Air 13-inch dates back to 2008, and its magazine-like-profile, tapering from 0.7 inches thick in back to just 0.1 inch in front, has inspired numerous Ultrabook designers (some Apple fans would say copycats). There�s also a MacBook Air 11 inches.

On the Windows side, Samsung Series 9 also predates Intel�s Ultrabook push, and Samsung doesn�t use the term in describing it; the company�s super thin flagship is available in 13 and 15 inches size. The Series 9 is also, like the MacBook Air, a premium or status symbol machine that lands north of Intel�s pricing guidelines for Ultrabooks theoretically, under $1,000 for 13 inch models, a goal not all manufacturers have met (prices at this writing range from around $800 to more than $1,400 for fully loaded systems).

Sony SmartWatch | Overview

Creative Mind Android , Technology Review

Awesome Gadget of the month February this year. But let you look at the picture, is it a wrist watch? Is ita Smarphone? Is it a PMP? Well, its all three-in-one featured SmartWatch. They guys at Sony have got really creative and come-up with a SmartWatch that not only does the job of a wristwatch, but also lets you use it as a smartphone. Like the original Sony LiveView, the new SmartWatch connects to your Android phone via Bluetooth and displays a variety of notifications from social networks, emails and even access and control of applications on your phone. The Sony SmartWatch is improved over last year�s model with a full color display, accelerometer and a variety of color rubber wrist bands to choose from. For those who want a more traditional look, Sony also has a wrist band connect a standard watch wristband. But here the main difference between the Sony SmartWatch and the other Android watches we�ve seen at CES is that Sony�s watch is simply an accessory rather than a standalone device. the good news is that the Sony SmartWatch can now keep the time even if it is not paired with your Android phone. by design, the SmartWatch is limited in functionality, but that allows it to retain its charge for much longer than the I�m watch and the Motorola ACTV.

Sony�s Smartwatch is compatible with all phones running Android 2.1 or higher. A Sony rep mentioned that the final hardware will be tested slightly before launch, but we should see the Sony SmartWatch show up on Sony�s website and retail stores before the end of March this year for $149.
