Nexus 7 Tablet

Nexus 7 Tablet
Nexus 7 Tablet
Google's Breakfast with Sundar event is underway and the biggest news so far is the announcement of a new Nexus 7 tablet. Yep, it's real, and is already available for pre-order at Best Buy. Taking a look at the new Nexus 7 tablet (pictures) 1-2 of 18 Scroll Left Scroll Right As expected, the new Nexus 7 is a 7-inch tablet running the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system. The 16GB Wi-Fi-only version will be available for $229.99, with a 32GB Wi-Fi-only model coming for $269.99. A 32GB 4G LTE (unlocked) version will retail for $349. Among the key features are an HD screen (with 1,920x1,200 resolution); front and rear cameras (1.2 and 5.0 megapixel, respectively); Bluetooth 4.0; a 1.5Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor; 2GB of RAM; HDMI output; NFC; and an Adreno 320 GPU (the same one that's graphics chip used in the Samsung Galaxy S4). There's also support for Dual band 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and wireless charging using any Qi-compatible charger. The large top and bottom bezels from the first generation Nexus 7 return. (Credit: James Martin/CNET) The new Nexus 7 is the first device to support the latest version of OpenGL ES: 3.0. The new version includes support for higher quality reflections and lens flares. Of course game developers will actually have to program these new graphical features into games before you'll see any notable difference. Hopefully, with support for the latest version of OpenGL, framerates on the new Nexus 7 will be higher than other devices using the same S4 processor, such as the Sony Xperia Tablet Z. It's not a slow processor by any means, but in my testing, the S4 comes nowhere near Qualcomm's own Snapdragon 800 or Nvidia's Tegra 4 in raw performance.

Archos 97b Titanium

Archos 97b Titanium
Archos 97b Titanium
Just as the Archos 80 Titanium was, shall we say, a homage to the iPad mini, so the Archos 97b Titanium is the French manufacturer’s take on the iPad 4. There’s no mistaking the influence of Apple’s tablet in the physical design, and the 97b Titanium even packs in a Retina-esque display, with a 9.7in diagonal, the same 4:3 aspect ratio and an identical resolution of 2048 x 1536. Yet where the cheapest version of the current iPad costs £399, the 97b Titanium is available for under half that price. How has Archos managed this, you might well wonder… Design Surprisingly, it hasn’t done it by skimping on build quality. The Archos has a plastic frame behind the glass screen and a plastic back, separated by a slim strip of chrome (or at least chrome-effect). The plastic on the rear has a little flex, but not much, and the whole construction feels surprisingly solid for a large screen budget tablet. The rear has two grilles for the speakers at the top and bottom of the tablet, plus the rear-facing camera sticking out in the top-right corner. At 650 grams the 97b Titanium is too heavy to hold one-handed like a 7in tablet for any length of time, but it’s a good size and weight for use on the move. I’d think about investing in a case first, however. Neither the screen nor the body seem particularly scratch-resistant. Physical controls are limited to a volume rocker and a power button, while connectivity is basic too. There’s a socket for the proprietary AC charger, a microUSB port and a headphone socket, but no HDMI output or anything more advanced. You do, however, get a microSD card slot, which you’ll need to boost the rather pitiful 8GB of onboard storage provided.

Nokia 105 As cheap as it looks

Nokia 105
Nokia 105
BARCELONA, Spain--You might not think that an electric blue phone with an itty-bitty 1.5-inch screen would appeal to most folks, but Nokia is guessing that its extremely targeted, extremely simple Nokia 105 is going to fit the bill for folks who have 15 euros to spend. Intentionally created for the entry-level cell phone markets in China, Indonesia, India, and Nigeria, the Nokia 105 focuses on calls, long battery life, and only a few little extras. The handset comes in black and the now-signature Nokia cyan shade. When I held it in my hands, my first impression was that somebody put a thumbnail sticker of a tiny screen in the middle of a sea of cheap blue plastic. With rubbery keys and that candied azure hue, this thick, comical handset looks and feels like a children's toy. Nokia 105, as simple as it gets (pictures) 1-2 of 5 Scroll Left Scroll Right One bonus: it does look durable and is splash and dust-proof. In addition, the Nokia 105's rubbery keys are tactile and very responsive, but the material stretches over them in such an undefined blanket that it's hard to dial by feel. The central select button offers too much give when I use it; it should bounce back a bit more, and be a skosh stiffer. On the screen, tiny icons smaller than my pinky nail help you navigate around the color screen, opening the flashlight, FM radio, alarms, and a reminder app, for starters. Since the screen demands such little power, the 800mAh battery lasts for over 12.5 hours on talk time, Nokia says, and will power through 35 days on standby without a charge. You'll notice that there's no camera, no volume rocker, and in fact, no buttons at all apart from the alphanumeric dialpad (which does contain a power button.) While I see this as a design flaw -- I don't know anyone who doesn't want to manually control their audio volume -- fewer joints and openings also do a better job protecting internals from the elements. Still, a volume rocker on the side of the phone would not go amiss. Yet the rock bottom retail price of only 15 euros doesn't give critics much room to complain about value, at least not until we test it. The Nokia 105 is expected to ship before the end of the first quarter.

Facebook 1.9.3 (for Android)
Sara Yin, Jeffrey L. Wilson Props to Facebook for listening to user feedback. When Facebook released its second major update to the Android app last April, it controversially added three, non-removable icons to people's app drawers. The icons were intended as shortcuts for users to post pictures or send messages via Facebook. Design-wise it was a bad, business-driven move, and within the first week users widely condemned the update. Android users have enough bloatware to contend with! Compare Similar Products Compare Selected Facebook 1.9.3 (for Android) Facebook Messenger (for iPhone) Facebook (for Windows Phone) ICQ Messenger 3.1 (for Android) Facebook v1.9.3 for Android (free) omits the bloatware and fixes some bugs. As a result it's now perhaps the best mobile Facebook experience, compared to Facebook for the iPhone, Windows Phone, and PlayStation Vita. At the same time, loading pages feels slower than ever.

 Apple makes applications to trademark iWatch name
Apple has made several applications to trademark the brand “iWatch”, fuelling speculation that the iPhone maker could soon launch its first new category of product since Tim Cook became chief executive. The trademark registrations come as Google, Samsung and other electronics companies ready their own smart watches, despite existing devices so far failing to find appeal beyond a niche group of early adopters.

Sony Xperia Z Ultra vs Xperia Z

 Sony Xperia Z Ultra vs Xperia Z
 Sony Xperia Z Ultra vs Xperia Z
Sony has revealed its latest Android phone, the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. But how does it differ from the Xperia Z, which was, up until now, Sony’s flagship phone? It’s not quite as you might expect. In some respects the Xperia Z is the superior mobile. Xperia Z UltraDifference #1 – Xperia Z Ultra is much, much larger These days, a 5-inch phone like the Xperia Z is not considered a phone-tablet hybrid but just a great big phone. The Xperia Z Ultra trips over the line into hybrid territory. It has a 6.4-inch screen. Its bezel may be super-slim, but the Xperia Z Ultra is still 9.2cm wide. That’s 2cm wider than the Xperia Z – a phone that is already pretty massive in its own right.

Firefox OS phone launches Tuesday in Spain at $3 a month

Spain-based carrier Telefonica will release on Tuesday the very first Firefox OS phone -- the inexpensive ZTE Open.

Firefox OS, shown here on the ZTE Open, has a gallery app, but if you want to share photos, you have to do so one at a time. (Credit: Stephen Shankland/CNET) It's not every day that a new mobile operating system arrives, but Tuesday will be one of them as Telefonica begins selling the inexpensive ZTE Open with Mozilla's Firefox OS in Spain. The move marks the commercial beginning of an effort by phone makers and network operators to use Mozilla's open-source, browser-based operating system to reclaim power in the mobile market lost to Apple and Google. The phone itself costs 69 euros ($90), including 30 euros ($39) of pay-as-you-go credit -- or for those who sign up for a two-year contract, for 2.38 euros ($3.10) per month. That's a lot cheaper than most of the new Android and iOS smartphones on the market today that consumers have flocked to and that Firefox OS is competing with. The ZTE Open won't impress smartphone power users who want more than its 3.5-inch 480x320-pixel touchscreen, 3.2MP camera, 256MB RAM, and 512MB flash memory that's boosted with an included 4GB microSD card. But it's not designed to win them over; it's more for new and cost-conscious smartphone buyers, Yotam Benami, Telefonica's digital director of open Web devices, said in an interview.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 could break cover on September 4

  Samsung Galaxy Note 3
  Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 could be unveiled on September 4, during the IFA event in Berlin. Many of us were aware that the Note 3 will be unveiled sometime during early September, but weren’t quite sure when. It is also possible that Samsung might host a dedicated launch event a day prior to the IFA event, much like it did last year. The rumor generates from an unknown source, so hold onto that jar of salt before giving it any credence. The rumor mill is currently overflowing with contrasting news about the Galaxy Note 3, thus explaining our skepticism. Although in most cases, rumors like these turn out to be true. With the likes of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra set to hit the markets, Samsung’s latest phablet might just take all of the attention from the media and the people in general. But the competition is tougher this year, so we can expect something big from Samsung, quite literally.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Coming to U.S. on July 7

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Coming to U.S. on July 7
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3
The first tablet to offer a serious alternative to the iPad has come a long way. The Samsung Galaxy Tab, which originally debuted in late 2010 and quickly earned status as Android's de facto tablet offering, is now in its third generation of products. Fittingly, it comes in three sizes — with screens that measure 7, 8 and 10.1 inches — and they're all coming to the U.S. on July 7. Of course, there are tons of other Android tablets now, and the Tab has evolved into Samsung's entry-level "consumption" tablets, leaving the high end to the company's premium Note line, which adds more features and processing power (not to mention a stylus) for people interested in "productivity" from their tablets. The Tab, on the other hand, is all about kicking back and enjoying some good old-fashioned content. All the models include an infrared blaster for controlling your TV as well as preloaded remote-control software.
