tegra 4 chip above


NVIDIA has done a great job with the tegra 3.  It was very impressive from the release of it which was just about a year ago.  2013 seems that it will be even better and FASTER.  Yes, NVIDIA will have tegra 4 3X faster than this year's tegra 3 and 20X faster than tegra 2.  This is due out in early 2013.  It will be Quad-Core A-15 with 72 Core GPU, 28 nm, and 4K max resolution.    The tegra 4 is to feature a 4 PLUS 1 Quad Core Eagle.  Rumor has it that is to put 1080p at 120Hz and encode/decode video for up to 2560 X 1440 ( which is 1440p) and the maximum resolution of 3820 X 2160 (4K). It will also support HDMI (with HDCP) and USB 3.0.  This is what is to come so far as we know of for NVIDIA Tegra 4.  But will know the final specs about tegra 4 af CES 2013 when its officially unveiled.

The ASUS Vivo Tab RT


The above photo shows the ASUS Vivo Tab RT with the Dockable Charge and Keyboard.  Now this tablet includes the RT version of Windows 8.  As you can see, it looks very similar to the ASUS Transfomer Pad series, that I love so much.  The screen resolution is ASUS's Super IPS 1366X768 display. The tablet itself has a 8 MP rear camera with LED Flash and a front facing camera of 2 MP.  On one side it has a HDMI port and Mirco SD Card Slot.  On the other side it has the volume rocker and headphone port.  This ASUS Vivo Tab RT includes the docking keyboard which gives you an extra of 8 hours of battery life plus the tablet and totals to up to 14 hours of battery life.  The keyboard includes a 2.0 USB port and a port for charging the tablet.  The keyboard has a nice set of keys that are not as good with people who have big hands but is standard for a netbook keyboard.  It also includes a trackpad that has two buttons to push.  But with this keyboard, you do have the option to use USB Mouse or another type of USB Keyboard.  With this tablet, it transforms into a mini ultra thin laptop or netbook.  Microsoft Windows 8 RT is the OS for this tablet.  Some people may find it hard to use because of the Microsoft Maetro Style touch interface.  But it still will be able to go to Desktop style as well. But with the RT Windows 8, you are very limited to the desktop options. It does come with Microsoft Office 2013 Home and Student Edition pre-installed.  You are also able to check out Microsoft Windows Store.  It is to be like Apple iTunes and Google Play Store.  Now Microsoft may not have a lot of apps to choose, they promise to bring more apps to the store.  This Windows 8 RT Tablet is priced at $499.99 with Dock for the 32GB version and $599.99 for the 64 GB version.  So, based on what you know now, is it worth buying?

DDR4 and When Will it Come Out?

It is unknown when the new RAM will be out on the market. Some speculate that it will be out in the middle of 2013 or 14. AMD and Intel still has to make their devices competible.

The new ram will run twice as fast and use less voltage than the current ddr3 which means less heat and more speed. DDR4 will also supports deep powerdown, allowing it to go into sleep mode that requires no refresh of the memory and will save 45 to 50 percent of stand-by power.

LG Mach on Sprint


                                                                               

Hello all my Sprint users.  There is a great LG smartphone out now on the Sprint Network.  This phone is just a couple of weeks out now and for a new contract or add a line, this can be yours for FREE with a new 2-yr contract on Sprint.  Now, the question is, is it worth getting online for free?  Well, lets look at what it has to offer.


The LG Mach is one of the newest and thinnest QWERTY devices out now.  This phone is for users who like the qwerty devices and that want a 4G LTE smartphone.  It has a 5 MP camera with FULL HD 1080P video playback.  It has a 4inch screen as well.  It has a 1.2 Dual Core GHz Processor with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of ROM. You can use a micro SD card with this device too.

The GOOD:
This phone has a solid performance.  It has a nice qwerty keyboard.  Very cheap price. Why would you turn  down a free phone or a $99 phone?

The BAD:
The display isnt the best. There are other options.

The Verdict:
If you on Sprint and looking for a Smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard, this might be the one you want.  But if you not wanting a QWERTY keyboard smartphone, look elsewhere.

ASUS Tranformer Pad With Mobile Dock Review



Asus Tranformer Pad (TF201, TF300T, TF700T) is a great Andoid tablet.  Maybe even the iPad killer.  With the Mobile Dock Keyboard, it goes further than ever.  Giving you 8 more hours of battery life, more storage options, and a full QWERTY keyboard, this is the best out to compete with a netbook and laptop.  Actually the Asus Transformer Pad with Mobile Dock can be the laptop and netbook killer. The keyboard includes one USB port and one full SD Card slot with protector.  With a trackpad for crusor or mouse, it makes you right at home.  You also can charge your Transformer Pad while in keyboard dock.  With this keyboard dock you can connect a external hard drive, a mouse, a flash drive and even a Microsoft XBOX 360 controller to it.  All you would need is a 4 port USB 2.0 HUB to connect to it.  This is the best mobile keyboard I have ever enjoyed using so far.  The price may be steep for others, but it is worth it.

Google Working On a Chromebook with TOUCH capability



There are rumors spreading around from Google that they are going to be releasing a Touch capability chromebook by year end. With mostly new touch capability laptops have Windows 8 installed on them, these are pretty expensive. For some Windows 8 Touch laptops, you will pay anywhere from $499-$1299! But with Google's Chromebook laptops being easily to purchase, will this touch base chromebook be affordable to purchase as well? Assuming that this touch capability chromebook is anywhere between $299-$399. Is these reasonable prices for the Chromebook Touch and saying that this is a 12.8 inch touchscreen? Unsure for its release and pricing, but very curious to see if the chromebooks and this chromebook "Touch" will kill the PC indusrty? If you all don't know by now, with the chromebooks, you are very limited to what you can all do with it. See there is a HUGE CON when it comes to using chromebooks. You may enjoy all that Google has to offer, but there is only ONE major problem.  You cant do anything without WiFi!

Other than that, you still can enjoy the wonderful world of Google Chromebook.  Now soon it will be Google's Touch Chromebook to take the spotlight.  So what will you all expect to see from this Touch Chromebook? Will you buy one verses these other touch laptops and ultrabooks?  How much would you expect to pay?  How will you use this product?

I Love the ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T

Hello everybody. This my personal opinion on the ASUS Transformer Pad.  I recently purchased one over a week ago.  I have not seen anything wrong with it.  Its the perfect tablet/PC for doing everything and anything.  Other than that my ASUS Pad doesn't have Windows 8 on it or nothing that brand new, I still can use this tablet for everything. It was  pre-installed with 4.0 Ice Cream for Android. It already had Tegra 3 and it is a Quad-Core processor. Also, this tablet comes in a 16GB or 32GB of internal storage. But soon as I started to set up all my gmail accounts and mess around on the PlayStore, I seen a update to the system for 4.1 Jelly Bean.  Not even 15 minutes later, it was all ready.  I like the Tegra 3 Games you can play such as SHADOWGUN HD.  That game is very fun to play. Also, you are a Tegra 3 owner, the NVision company will let you try out the latest and upcoming games to demo for beta. Great way of keeping us mobile gamers involved.  I also like the youtube app.  The Youtube app allows you to check the videos in almost 3D motion.  You can slide the screen from left to right in Youtube to see most recent uploads. NetFlix looks pretty good as well on this Tablet. The movie takes up the full screen unlike on the iPad, which only shows you a half of screen of the movie. You can use a stylus on this tablet to take notes, write, and draw with as well.  Bluetooth keyboards and mice work with this tablet as well.  Also, dont forget that ASUS have their own keyboard dock that can connect to your ASUS tablet as well. With the keyboard dock, it includes a built in battery, a USB port, one SD Card slot also.  So there is plenty of room for memory and customization with the tablet. You can use this tablet for work, school, and play.  This is if not the best talet on the market that you can buy right now for less than $400.

LG Nexus 4 Might not be so cheap around the world

I know we all are excited about the new LG Nexus 4 smartphone. Especially here in the US and Eruope.  As you may know that the Nexus 4 will cost $299.99 here in the US.  But in other countries it might even be a lot hire than that.  In Italy, it may cost $768.99 USD. Now that is a lot of money for just one phone.  What is up with the prices being so high like that?  Will customers still buy this phone in other countries? Would you buy that phone if it were at $800 price tag?

Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is official and ready

The android update is awesome. Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is great, faster, feels and looks new.  Now usually we would see a change up in google OS nickname by now. But the new upgrade is still know as "Jelly Bean". Very interesting move Google makes.  But enough about the name, there is always something new to discuss.  So, how about Photo Spheres, wireless displays and Google Now?

Photo Sphere is where you can capture pictures in a paranormic photo-like way. Take snaps all around you and cram them all into one big photo.

Here is an image and video of what Photo Sphere can do in Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.




Now, we got that out the way.  Lets talk about the wireless displays.  What are wireless displays and how can it improve Google's devices?

Miracast, the wireless displays, makes its first entry onto the Android Google devices.  Using Miracast you can broadcast from your smartphone or Tablet to a HDTV while using a compatible wireless HDMI adapter.  



Isn't these new features great?  Well, Google Now and Search will also share their spotlight as well.  
Google has also received some new functions and enhancements too.  

But get all these functions in your new smartphone and tablet, you must own at least a Nexus device.  Unlike Apple, whose allow anyone to upgrade their old or even newer device to the latest OS update, Google says you must buy our new Nexus to get this upgarde. So, will we see Android 4.2 on the new Galaxy Note II then? November is around the way.





Google Android 4.2, Nexus 4, 7, & 10

Google had their android event and announced a couple of things.  They have announced a Nexus 4 LG and a Samsung Nexus 10.  Also Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is coming!! It is amazing.  The LG Nexus 4 Smartphone looks very great.  Not too attracted to the Nexus 10 tablet. Google should have done a better job on the tablet design as you will see what I mean in the images that will be shown below for each of the new products.  One more thing, there will be a 32 GB Nexus 7 coming as well.  All these devices will be released in November.
