Last week I was in terrible pain due to severe muscle spasms in my lower back. Dr gave an injection and prescription for some really strong medication and advised me to lie down for a few days. Right...... <br />
So what does this have to do with technology and phones and stuff? Continue reading and you'll soon find out and have a good laugh at my expense.<br />
While I was confined to bed and kind of high on the meds, (or like I love to call them, DRUGS) I decided I might just as well take my Samsung Galaxy Tablet and read some books that I loaded. But after about 3 days of just being forcibly "lazy", I started becoming a little bit bored and a whole lot of frustrated with my Tablet being too slow when turning a page or when browsing internet. I was just feeling crappy in general. <br />
Soooooo..... I decided to do a factory reset and while I'm in TWRP, why not just wipe the System and Internal Memory as well........ BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!<br />
I never even clicked somewhere in the back of my drugged mind, that I'm catching on a whole lot of crap. Yeah! <br />
When I selected Reboot, I got an error..... Unable to reboot... No OS found..... FUDGE!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!<br />
Yeah, apparently, when you wipe the INTERNAL MEMORY, you are actually removing the actual OS as well. Pretty awesome hey????<br />
Soooo, I grabbed my poor old Blackberry and started consulting my most awesome teacher in the whole world, galaxy, and universe. Mr Google......<br />
And I just started getting more and more confused and started feeling all kinds of stupid in every imaginable way.<br />
Back at work this week I told my Android Hero, Pieter, what I did, and he just seemed so calm about the whole thing and told me its ok. I just need to download a couple of files, connect the Tablet via USB to the laptop, reinstall the Firmware and Bob's your uncle. <br />
Soooo I downloaded the necessary Drivers, the ODIN software for my laptop and the latest Firmware for my specific Tablet. No problem........<br />
Yeah right. When everything was ready and I connected the Tablet to the laptop, nothing happened. No USB device detection, NOTHING! No shit Sherlock. NOTHING HAPPENED!<br />
So back at work the next day (taking everything with me to work) I borrowed a USB cable from someone else and guess freaking what! Apparently Bob is my uncle.... LOL!!!<br />
Device drivers start installing and things start looking pretty straight forward, but NOOOOOO! MTP driver installation failed. So I ended up downloading WMP11. That seemed to sort out another little hickup in my life. <br />
I opened ODIN and followed all the instructions step by step until the Firmware was done installing and then rebooted automatically, and got stuck while booting. REALLY????? Have I not had enough hickups already??????<br />
My awesome Android Hero gave me a few tips, and eventually we got it right. <br />
All I had to do was go back in ODIN on the tablet, go into recovery mode, do a Factory Reset and Wipe the Cache, and Reboot. Oh joy to the world! I got my Tablet to boot up. Yay!!!!!<br />
When this Samsung P7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1v came out originally, it had Honeycomb on it, but my Android Hero rooted the tablet after he got it and I bought it over from him as is. I now have Icecream Sandwich on it and at the moment I'm just glad to be able to read my books, check my Facebook and publish this blog entry.<br />
Everything looks different and it will take some time getting used to this new look. But for now, I'm staying away from DRUGS and Factory Resets.

<br />
One 2 month old Blackberry <br />
One cool swimming pool<br />
One small bag of uncooked rice<br />
One small plastic container<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Method</u></strong>:<br />
<br />
Take Blackberry and accidentally drop it in swimming pool for just a couple of seconds.<br />
Remove Blackberry from pool and run for the nearest towel and start drying.<br />
Open Blackberry and remove battery, sim card, and memory card.<br />
Try to dab away as much water as you possibly can with a towel.<br />
Take about two cups of rice and throw it in a plastic container. <br />
Take the blackberry and all removed accesories and push it all over into the rice.<br />
The rice will draw out all moisture (<em>hopefully</em>).<br />
Leave the container open for about 5-7 days before attempting to turn on the Blackberry.<br />
<br />

[Updated Aug 25, 2012] – Before launching into this review, which pits Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 against Apple’s iPad 2, I took a few days to familiarize myself with the Galaxy Tab’s Android 3.1 (“Honeycomb”) OS. The thing is, I’d already used iOS on an iPod Touch for two years, but was a rank newbie when it came to Android.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<em><strong>Note:</strong> Originally published in July 2011, this article has been revised periodically based on software updates, reader comments, email inquiries, and various other inputs. Among many other enhancements, specs for Apple’s “New iPad” (aka iPad 3) and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, and screenshots showing aspects of the Samsung tablet’s mid-2012 upgrade to Android 4.0 (aka “ice cream sandwich”) are now included.</em> <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>First impressions</b><br />
<img align="right" hspace="10" src="http://deviceguru.com/files/android-thm.jpg" vspace="5" />Unfortunately, after configuring the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to my liking, installing apps from the Android Market, and becoming accustomed to its operation, it dawned on me that I’d allowed myself to slide down a slippery slope into an Android Abyss from which there would be no escape. <br />
Apple’s obsession with tightly controlling everything in and around its products imposes a high level of rigidity in the look, feel, and functionality of the iPad. Consequently, all iPads are essentially identical, beyond the wallpapers and apps their owners install on them. <br />
In contrast, thanks to Android’s greater empowerment of its apps, I was easily able to mold the Galaxy Tab 10.1 into a highly personalized tablet experience, and do things on it that I haven’t a clue how to accomplish on an iOS device.<br />
<br />
Now, that’s not necessarily best for everyone. In fact, Apple’s more tightly constrained systems are generally credited with being more stable and less prone to hardware/software and OS/app incompatibilities and mishaps, than less restricted systems. But if you value flexibility, configurability, and the ability to control many characteristics of your device — like I do — Android may be a preferred platform. <br />
In that case, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is well worth considering as an alternative to the iPad. At this point, I only turn to the iPad when in need of a specific app that’s not available on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 — and that’s not very often. Netflix video streaming and Skype video calling come to mind, although I’m sure there will be others. [<span style="color: red;">Update:</span> Both Netflix and Skype, including video calling, are now working perfectly on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.]<br />
<br />
<b>Galaxy Tab 10.1 and iPad similarities</b><br />
Overall, both 10-inch tablets have a similar look and feel, and they implement comparable features. These include:<br />
<ul>
<li>Convenient access to Facebook, Twitter, discussion forums, and other social networks
<li>Excellent web browsers, email, and calendar apps
<li>Tons of free and paid games
<li>Great apps for leveraging online resources such as maps, shopping, news sites, dictionaries, language translators, Wikipedia, etc.
<li>A choice of free e-book readers, with easy downloads of both free and paid books
<li>Ability to watch movies and shows streamed from both free and fee-based online video aggregation services (e.g. YouTube, Netflix, Amazon, Vudu, Hulu, Crackle, etc.)
<li>Peripherals and apps for taking photos and videos, making voice and video calls, recording audio, and playing music</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Deciding between the alternatives</b><br />
In light of their price parity — the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and iPad 2 each cost $400 (as of March 2012) — and the fact that the iPad is more mature and commands substantially more marketshare than all 10-inch Android tablets combined, most consumers will likely select the iPad over the Galaxy Tab 10.1. To be sure, the iPad does everything most consumers want, and does so to near-perfection. <br />
On the other hand, if you want greater control over your tablet environment, more openness to non-Apple standards (such as Adobe Flash), or greater ability to adapt to new technologies and standards as they emerge, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 could be the better option. <br />
But don’t decide yet! Below you’ll find…<br />
<ul>
<li>A comparison of Galaxy Tab 10.1 and iPad features and specs
<li>General observations regarding Galaxy Tab 10.1 features/functions

Now, for a few observations regarding various Galaxy Tab 10.1 characteristics and functions….<br />
<br />
<b>Home screens</b><br />
Here’s a look at the Galaxy Tab 10.1′s default lock and home screens, based on its original Android 3.1 OS: <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Starting from the tablet’s August 2011 TouchWiz and continuing with its mid-2012 Android 4.0 upgrade, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 features pop-up “mini apps,” which can be positioned where desired on the screen. They remain in the foreground — in front of normal apps — until you close them. <br />

<b>Comparison of Galaxy Tab 10.1 and iPad 2 homescreens</b><br />
The following two sets of screenshots compare the primary home screens of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (left pair) and iPad 2 (right pair) after each tablet has had its home screen wallpaper modified and a screen or two of apps installed. See if you can spot some interesting differences…<br />
<center>
<a href="http://deviceguru.com/files/gtab-apps-nofolders-homescreen-landscape.jpg" target="new"><img border="0" hspace="10" src="http://deviceguru.com/files/gtab-apps-nofolders-homescreen-landscape-thm.jpg" vspace="10" /></a> <a href="http://deviceguru.com/files/gtab-apps-nofolders-homescreen-landscape.jpg" target="new"><img border="0" hspace="10" src="http://deviceguru.com/files/gtab-apps-nofolders-homescreen-portrait-thm.jpg" vspace="10" /></a> <a href="http://deviceguru.com/files/ipad2-homescreen1-landscape.jpg" target="new"><img border="0" hspace="10" src="http://deviceguru.com/files/ipad2-homescreen1-landscape-thm.jpg" vspace="10" /></a> <a href="http://deviceguru.com/files/ipad2-homescreen1-portrait.jpg" target="new"><img border="0" hspace="10" src="http://deviceguru.com/files/ipad2-homescreen1-portrait-thm.jpg" vspace="10" /></a><br /><b>Galaxy Tab 10.1 (left pair) and iPad 2 (right pair) home screens</b><br />(click thumbnails to enlarge)</center>
<br />
<br />
<br />
A few noteworthy differences in the home screens and icons include:<br />
<ul>
<li>The iPad 2 holds 25 app or folder icons per screen, five of which are constant across all home screens since they’re located on the system tray.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The Galaxy Tab 10.1 holds 35 app or folder icons per screen. The tablet’s initial Android 3.1-based OS did not include a built-in option for organizing home screen icons into folders, although a highly flexible home screen folder capability was available via an Android app (discussed below). Additionally, the tablet’s mid-2012 Android 4.0 firmware upgrade added a built-in folder function.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The Galaxy Tab 10.1 maintains icon array placement consistency at the cost of adjusting row/column spacing a bit, when you rotate it between landscape and portrait orientations; this consistency makes it easy to keep track of where apps are located within the home screen array.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The iPad 2 changes from a 4×5 to a 5×4 array (not including the 1×5 tray) when you rotate the device from landscape to portrait orientation; this alters the location of apps and folders (other than what’s in the tray) on the home screen, other than the upper-left and lower-right corners, making it harder to locate specific apps when you rotate the screen between its two modes. It’s surprising that Apple would tolerate this level of UI inconsistency; however, it keeps horizontal/vertical icon spacing constant across the two orientations, so perhaps this is a case of style trumping substance.</li>
</ul>
Personally, I prefer the Galaxy Tab 10.1′s higher density of app icons to the iPad’s “airy” approach. It’s a more efficient use of home screen real estate, and it lessons the need for scrolling among multiple screens to locate a desired app. <br />
In fact, with the addition of home screen folders, courtesy of Fabio Collini’s awesome <a href="http://www.folderorganizer.net/" target="new">Folder Organizer app</a>, or using the folder capability built into the tablet’s mid-2012 Android 4.0 firmware upgrade, you can have your cake and eat it, too, by combining the high density of Android’s 35-icon home screen layout along with iOS-like app folders. <br />
Better yet, Folder Organizer offers three different options for folder style: transparent icons, just like on iOS (and hopefully non-infringing!); fully-customizable icons; and enlarged folders containing shrunken app icons. These options are illustrated below:<br />
<center>
<br /><img border="0" hspace="10" src="http://deviceguru.com/files/folderorganizer-folder-item-transparent.jpg" vspace="10" /> <img border="0" hspace="10" src="http://deviceguru.com/files/folderorganizer-folder-item-custom.jpg" vspace="10" /><br /><img border="0" hspace="10" src="http://deviceguru.com/files/folderorganizer-folder-widget-transparent.jpg" vspace="10" /><br /><b>Three of Folder Organizer’s home screen app management options</b></center>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Of the three alternatives shown above, I’ve settled on combining custom folder icons along with a mix of both standard and custom app icons. Since, in this approach, both single apps and folders have similar-looking icons, I’ve adopted the convention of capitalizing folder labels and using upper/lower case for app labels, making it easy to distinguish folders from apps. This works well, although you might prefer using iOS-style transparent folder icons, which clearly look like folders since you can see tiny app icons within them.<br />
Using this approach, I can quickly and easily access more than 250 installed apps within one or two taps, from a single primary home screen. Not only that, but there was enough space to include Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and WiFi Manager widgets. Here’s how that looks…<br />
<center>
<br /><a href="http://deviceguru.com/files/gtab10ics-customized-homescreens-01.jpg" target="new"><img border="0" hspace="10" src="http://deviceguru.com/files/gtab10ics-customized-homescreens-01-sm.jpg" vspace="10" /></a><br /><b>Accessing hundreds of installed apps from one home screen containing a combination of app and folder icons</b><br />(click image to enlarge; screenshot reflects the Android 4.0 update)</center>
<br />
<br />
<br />
On the other hand, the approach of using transparent Folder Organizer widgets also has appeal. Using that method, the 112 apps easily fit on two home screens within boxes. Here’s how they look:<br />
<center>
<br /><a href="http://deviceguru.com/files/07-18-100241.jpg" target="new"><img border="0" hspace="10" src="http://deviceguru.com/files/07-18-100241-sm.jpg" vspace="10" /></a><br /><a href="http://deviceguru.com/files/07-18-100307.jpg" target="new"><img border="0" hspace="10" src="http://deviceguru.com/files/07-18-100307-sm.jpg" vspace="10" /></a><br /><b>Accessing all 112 installed apps from two home screens managed by Folder Organizer widgets</b><br />(click images to enlarge)</center>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Incidentally, a few Folder Organizer features illustrated in the screenshots above require use of the paid version of the app. It’s well worth its sub-$2 price, but there’s plenty of functionality included in the free version. The paid version drops the not-very-bothersome ads and provides a few additional features, such the ability to organize folders within folders. <br />
<b>Adding Android apps</b><br />
Having come to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with an iPod Touch perspective, I expected to have to download Android apps for most of what I’d want to do. It turns out, however, that as a result of moving from a 3.5-inch screen to a 10-inch screen, many websites become quite usable without requiring dedicated apps for accessing them. <br />
So unlike on 3.5-inch tablets, it’s not so critical to have dedicated apps for accessing YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Weather.com, Amazon (yes, you can watch videos), your Netflix.com queue [<span style="color: red;">update:</span> <a href="http://deviceguru.com/netflix-now-officially-supports-android-tablets/" target="new">a Netflix app is now available</a>], Google Documents, and many other sites and services. All these can be accessed using Android’s browser, although dedicated apps such as Android’s superb YouTube app (see screenshots below) can certainly raise the user experience to a whole new level. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
In fact, many apps that support both 3.5- and 10-inch tablets don’t scale up well to the larger-sized screens. Notable Android examples of this problem include Skype. Pandora, Pogoplug, Dropbox, Dictionary.com, and many utilities such as file managers, task managers, etc. Although they work, their fonts and layouts don’t adapt intelligently to the larger screens. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
iOS handles the scaling-up of iPhone apps to the iPad in a more elegant manner, with a “2X” button that “magnifies” the app’s display rendering so it fills the iPad’s full screen. The iOS Skype app, shown in the screenshots below, uses that technique. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
This approach tends to produce a more readable display than simply spreading a smartphone-sized app out over the much larger tablet screen, which fails to enlarge fonts. <br />
<b>Galaxy Tab 10.1 vs iPad 2 Battery Charging Time</b> <br />
In response to a reader’s question in the comments below, I tested both the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and iPad 2 (wifi-only versions) to see how long they take to charge their batteries from empty to full. The charging tests were performed with each tablet turned off and connected to its standard charger. <br />
Here’s the data…<br />
<div align="center">
<b>Galaxy Tab 10.1 vs iPad 2 Battery Charging Time</b><br />
<table border="1" bordercolor="white" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"><tbody>
<tr><td><b>time (hrs)</b></td><td><b>Galaxy Tab 10.1 <br />charge (%)</b></td><td><b>iPad 2 <br />charge (%)</b></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">0</td><td align="center">0</td><td align="center">0</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">1</td><td align="center">n/a</td><td align="center">25</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">1.5</td><td align="center">33</td><td align="center">n/a</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">2</td><td align="center">50</td><td align="center">40</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">3.5</td><td align="center">66</td><td align="center">60</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">4</td><td align="center">75</td><td align="center">70</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">5</td><td align="center">90</td><td align="center">85</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">6</td><td align="center">100</td><td align="center">95</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
So it looks like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 charges up a bit faster than the iPad 2, although not enough to be significant. <br />
<b>Galaxy Tab 10.1 vs iPad 2 Battery Life</b><br />
On the other hand, during continuous Netflix video streaming on each tablet, with their displays set to maximum brightness, the iPad 2′s battery outlasted the Galaxy Tab 10.1′s by about a 35-40 percent. <br />
Specifically:<br />
<ul>
<li>the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (wifi only) continuously streamed Netflix for 5-6 hours
<li>the iPad 2 (wifi only) continuously streamed Netflix videos for 7-8 hours</li>
</li>
</ul>
Of course, during normal daily use — consisting of a mix of web browsing, email reading/writing, listening to streaming music, etc. — you can expect considerably longer battery life, particularly if you set your tablet’s screen brightness to automatic, or at least somewhere below maximum brightness. <br />

<b>Notes:</b><br />
<ul>
<li><b>TouchWiz UI update</b> — Samsung pushed out a major Galaxy Tab 10.1 firmware update on August 10, 2011. Though still based on Android 3.1 (“honeycomb”), the upgraded OS integrated several new apps, made significant changes to the device’s theme and “TouchWiz” user interface, and added various functional enhancements and tweaks. For further details, read our <a href="http://deviceguru.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-gets-first-major-update/" target="new">complete coverage of that update</a>, which includes screenshots showing the updated UI and theme.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Android 4.0 update</b> — In mid-2012, Samsung pushed out a second major Galaxy Tab 10.1 firmware update, which upgraded the tablet’s OS to Android 4.0 (aka “ice cream sandwich”). Both this post and the associated <a href="http://deviceguru.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-screenshots/" target="new">Galaxy Tab 10.1 Screenshot Tour</a> have been updated to incorporate various features of the tablet’s upgraded Android operating system.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Compliments and complaints</b><br />
Below are my main compliments and complaints concerning the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and its Android 3.1 (Honeycomb) OS, following several weeks of daily use. <br />
<i>Compliments…</i><br />
<ul>
<li>The tablet itself is thin, lightweight, and non-slippery.
<li>Built-in stereo speakers are a plus.
<li>Built-in GPS is standard with all models.
<li>Based on either the folder feature built into the tablet’s Android 4.0 firmware upgrade, or the enhanced folder and icon customization features provided by the third-party Android Folder Organizer app, the Galaxy Tab 10.1′s home screen is highly configurable and efficient — much more so than the iPad’s.
<li>You hardly ever need to buy apps; when you do, they tend to be less expensive than iOS apps.
<li>Thanks to Android, the device is highly configurable/extensible via apps, without rooting (aka jailbreaking, in iOS parlance).
<li>Android’s status tray at the bottom-right corner of the screen is very handy; key status (e.g. messages waiting, other indicators) is visible even when the screen is locked.
<li>It’s easy to stream A/V over the home LAN from Windows or UPnP shares using free apps available in the Android Market (see <a href="http://deviceguru.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-screenshots/" target="new">Screenshot Tour</a>); the Galaxy Tab and iPad are about on par in this respect, and have several excellent media-streaming apps in common, plus many that are unique to each platform.
<li>Android’s support for Adobe Flash allows video to be streamed directly from most websites, a key advantage over Apple’s iPads.
<li>It’s easy to transfer data between the tablet’s SDCARD storage area and a Windows PC or OS X Mac (Linux is another matter).</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</ul>
<i>Complaints…</i><br />
<ul>
<li>The add-on features of the Folder Organizer app (described in this post) need to become part of Android. [<span style="color: red;">Resolved:</span> Folder features are standard in the tablet's upgraded Android 4.0 operating system.]
<li>Touch-based cursor positioning and copy/paste functions don’t always behave as expected.
<li>Occasionally, view orientation momentarily switches back/forth between portrait and landscape modes for no apparent reason (although setting can lock it); this only seems to occur when it’s on its stand, slightly reclined.
<li>Needs more tablet-aware apps (e.g. NY Times app, Skype). [<span style="color: red;">Update:</span> Both Skype and Google Talk now work perfectly for video calling.]
<li>Android’s spell checking features are not as user-friendly as those of iOS.
<li>Reorganizing home screen icons on a fully-populated screen is laborious (though possible).
<li>WiFi doesn’t seem to select the strongest pre-authorized access point automatically.
<li>The Android browser needs a function for rearranging the order of bookmarks. [<span style="color: red;">Resolved:</span> a major August 2011 <a href="http://deviceguru.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-gets-first-major-update/" target="new">Galaxy Tab 10.1 software update</a> has added extensive bookmarks reorganization capabilities to the Android browser.]
<li>Another browser beef: checkboxes tend to be rendered too small relative to the overall text size, making it hard to see whether they’re checked or unchecked without additional zooming.
<li>Lacks a built-in screenshot function. [<span style="color: red;">Resolved:</span> a major August 2011 <a href="http://deviceguru.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-gets-first-major-update/" target="new">Galaxy Tab 10.1 software update</a> has added a screenshot widget to the bottom-of-screen toolbar.]</li>

<b>Concluding remarks</b><br />
So which is better, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 or Apple’s iPads? The answer depends a lot on your point of view and priorities.<br />
In my tests, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was more successful than the iPad at streaming video directly from websites, due to its support for Adobe flash. On the other hand, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has fewer tablet-aware apps than the iPad. [<span style="color: red;">Update:</span> When this smackdown was first published I listed Netflix and Crackle as two good examples of apps missing from Android, but as of March 2012 excellent tabletized Android apps are available for both.]<br />
With the growing penetration of Android in the smartphone and tablet markets, we can expect the app gap — not terribly big even today — to begin to close over the next six months or so. For sure, Apple’s App Store will have more apps than the <a href="https://market.android.com/" target="new">Android App Market</a> for quite a while, but who really needs more than the 200,000 apps that are there today? As far as these 10-inch tablets are concerned, the more important issue is the availability of apps that scale up well to the larger screen sizes, and that’s a problem for both the Apple and Android tablets. <br />
So I guess my bottom-line advice is this: at price parity, the iPad is probably a better bet for the average user, since it’s a more stable, near-perfect device with a rich assortment of apps for nearly every possible function you’d like to perform on your tablet. Therefore, unless you’ve got a grudge against Apple for some reason, or are enamored with the idea of having a more configurable tablet, there’s not a lot of justification to go with the less mature, less established device at the same price. <br />
Personally, I really enjoy the fun and challenge of having a more flexible, open platform on which I can exert greater influence over what it does and how it operates. For those reasons, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has become my tablet of choice. But then, that sort of DIY attitude should <a href="http://deviceguru.com/the-boxee-box-cookbook/" target="new">come as no surprise</a> to DeviceGuru’s readers!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here’s a (possible) solution. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<a href="http://www.tipb.com/2011/10/12/ios-5-bugs-disappearing-wifi-personal-hotspot/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">http://www.tipb.com/2011/10/12/ios-5-bugs-disappearing-wifi-personal-hotspot/</span></a><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
So you just updated to <a href="http://www.imore.com/ios">iOS 5</a> and you find you have a problem -- you go to use Wi-Fi <a href="http://www.imore.com/tag/personal-hotspot">Personal Hotspot</a> feature and... it's gone?! Don't fret. Stop cursing. It's <a href="http://www.imore.com/2011/04/21/ios-432-bugs-missing-personal-hotspot-vpn-notifications-settings/">happened with previous upgrades too</a>. Truth is, It's not really gone, it's just hiding, and here are a couple things you can do to coax it back.<br />
<h3>
Bug</h3>
<ul>
<li>Personal Hotspot seems to have disappeared.</li>
</ul>
<h3>
Solution 1</h3>
Look for it where it lives.<br />
<ol>
<li>Launch the Settings app.</li>
<li>Tap General.</li>
<li>Tap Network.</li>
<li>Scroll down and look for Personal Hotspot.</li>
<li>If it somehow got turned off during the update, turn it back on.</li>
<li>Wait for it to activate.</li>
</ol>
Once it re-activates, you should find it back where it was before, on the first page of Settings.<br />
<h3>
Solution 2</h3>
If that doesn't work, it's time to escalate reset the Settings.<br />
<ol>
<li>launch the Settings app.</li>
<li>Tap General.</li>
<li>Scroll all the way to the bottom.</li>
<li>Tap Reset Network Settings.</li>
</ol>
Wait for your iPhone to restart, and if you still don't see it, repeat Solution 1.<br />
<h3>
Fixed?</h3>
That's a lot but that's it. You should have your Personal Hotspot back up and running. If you've experienced this bug and used these solutions, let us know how they worked for you. If you tried something else that worked, let us know about that too!Engelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17685418861239683891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314049224799499908.post-63333575922924837302012-07-23T09:20:00.000+02:002012-07-23T09:20:09.238+02:00Blackberry App World error id: 30702

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Here is a possible fix for Blackberry
Appworld queries. It seems that when users get their new blackberry they do not
set the time zone correctly. Please ask the subscriber to check and adjust it
if necessary. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: navy; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As we know one of the biggest causes of
broadband users seeing unaccounted high data usage is some hidden background
activity on the system. These can include automatic updates and malware
(malicious software) such as viruses and spyware.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<br /></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: navy; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">1) To detect the 'friendly' background processes (i.e.
legitimate processes that use data in the background, typically updates) one
can use a program such as Netlimiter (<a href="http://www.netlimiter.com/"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.netlimiter.com</span></a>).
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: navy; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This is a good utility to advise clients to use as it
not only shows total usage of the data connection, but can show it per
application, i.e. which process is using how much data. It can even be
configured to throttle an application to only use a specific amount of
bandwidth. The monitor version is freeware. (<a href="http://www.netlimiter.com/download/nl_2010_mon.exe"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.netlimiter.com/download/nl_2010_mon.exe</span></a>)</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: navy; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">2) The problem comes in with malware background
processes that intentionally hide themselves from being detected by Virus and
Malware scanners such as Windows Defender, TrendMicro, AVG, Norton, et al. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<br /></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: navy; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This concept is called a RootKit and you need special
software to detect if you have such a situation. You can read more about it on <a href="http://www.rootkit.com/"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.rootkit.com/</span></a> and can find RootKit
detectors on <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/RootkitRevealer.mspx"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/RootkitRevealer.mspx</span></a>
or <a href="http://www.systemsoftlab.com/spydetector.html"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.systemsoftlab.com/spydetector.html</span></a>.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<br /></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: navy; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The important point is not to trust virus scanners
when they report no malware on a system. Do the following:</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: navy; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">1) Run a continuous bandwidth meter such as
Netlimiter. Watch to see if usage is as per your expectation.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: navy; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">2) Install and configure a firewall.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: navy; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">3) Install and update a malware & virus program.
Configure it for frequent updates and scans and make sure it stay resident.
Often more than one scanner is needed to catch malware that could have slipped
by another one.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: navy; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">4) Use a RootKit detect program to search for malware
that escaped the above.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: navy; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">5) Sometimes nothing but a full rebuilt might be
needed to get rid of RootKits. This is obviously a last resort only.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Rising above most other things, the </span><a href="http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-GALAXY-Tab-10.1-LTE_id5524" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> comes to mind as a dubious competitor since it’s regarded as the best of the best from Samsung’s camp. On the surface, both are very similar with their options, which is hardly a surprise, but as we’ve come to expect, there can only be one that will ultimately prove itself to be the sole standout hit. Before diving in, it’s worth noting that the Apple iPad 4G LTE’s price starts at $629.99 for both AT&T and Verizon variants, whereas the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE is a bit more at $699.99 through Verizon only.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Design:</span><br /><br />From a distance, the two look similar to one another, but once we’re able to grasp both in our hands, the new iPad is able to deliver the impactful wow factor thanks to its premium feel. Well, it’s not to say that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 isn’t a bad looker, especially when it’s the lighter and slightly thinner tablet, but its all-plastic body doesn’t have the allure to match the impeccable industrial design of the iPad. Indeed, the new iPad’s appearance might not bring anything fresh to the table, especially when its design is a recycled one, but nonetheless, its iconic look combined with its premium construction still hits the high marks in our books.<br /></span><br />

<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">No doubt we dig the responsiveness exhibited by the <span style="font-weight: bold;">physical buttons </span>available on both tablets, but the ones on the iPad are raised higher to offer better distinguishability with our fingers. As for charging and data connectivity, both resort to using proprietary 30-pin <span style="font-weight: bold;">connection ports</span>, which is also the way they’re able to gain video-out functionality with the aid of optional accessories. For all of you audio buffs, the iPad has a single speaker located of the bottom left corner of its rear, while the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 boasts stereo sound thanks to its two <span style="font-weight: bold;">speakers</span>.<br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In terms of <span style="font-weight: bold;">cameras</span>, there’s plenty to like since the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is outfitted with a 3.2-megapixel snapper with LED flash. Conversely, there might not be a flash on the new iPad, but rather, it’s impressiveness is found with its 5-megapixel iSight camera, which features an F2.8 aperture lens and sensor with backside illumination. On the other hand, <span style="font-weight: bold;">front-facing cameras </span>are naturally available with both, as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 packs a higher count 2-megapixel camera, versus the paltry VGA snapper on the iPad.<br /></span><br />

<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Display:</span><br /><br />Absolutely, if there’s one reason why the new iPad is such a feared competitor, it has to be none other than the crisp and super detail Retina display it’s bringing to the tablet. Comparing the two, the numbers seemingly do all the talk as the iPad boasts a mind-bending resolution of 2048 x 1536, which blows away the 1280 x 800 resolution of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Although it’s hardly noticeable to visually see the superiority of the iPad’s Retina display from a far distance, it’s evident once we take a peek at our web site at a full zoomed out view. At times, the iPad’s display is simply surreal with its stunning visuals. Details aside, both offer wide-viewing angles, high contrasts, and natural looking colors – though, the iPad’s display tends to come off warmer looking. When it comes down to it, however, the iPad has the eye candy to pique anyone’s interest from afar.<br /></span></span><br />

As we’ve seen in countless iOS versus Android comparisons, it essentially breaks down to simplicity versus personalization. Honestly, there isn’t a clear winner since each tablet has its own unique experience to appease most needs. On one hand, if you prefer a simplistic experience that’s not cumbersome to comprehend, then the iPad is for you. Oppositely, if you want something with a bit more personalization and complexity, then the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be your thing.<br /></span></span></div>

Barely exhibiting any strenuous movements, the new iPad moves swimmingly in all of its functions thanks to its <span style="font-weight: bold;">Apple A5x SoC</span>, which breaks down to a 1GHz dual-core processor combined with a quad-core graphics processing unit. Despite boasting a still respectable <span style="font-weight: bold;">1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor</span>, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 exhibits the choppiness that we tend to see prevalent amongst Honeycomb tablets in general. Well, it’s mainly seen with graphically intensive live wallpapers, or when navigating across its homescreen in portrait.<br /><br />By now, we’re quite familiar in knowing that the iPad is available in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB <span style="font-weight: bold;">capacities </span>– with no way of expanding it. Lucky for the Galaxy Tab 10.1, it’s offered in 16GB and 32GB versions, but it can be expanded thanks to its available microSD card slot.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Internet and Connectivity:</span><br /><br />No kidding that we truly adore that these two top-notch tablets offer 4G LTE connectivity, which enables them to load complex web site in no time at all, but looking beyond speeds, they offer an astounding web browsing experience. Right away, we take notice of the iPad’s tighter responses with things like kinetic scrolling and pinch zooming. Usable in many ways still, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 displays some minor evidence of choppiness with its movement, though, we’re given that desktop-like experience thanks to its support of Adobe Flash. In any event, we take a liking to both tablets since they’re so phenomenal in this department.<br /></span></span></div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Since it’s newer, the iPad features Bluetooth 4.0, while the Galaxy Tab 10.1 simply has Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR. Aside from that one difference, they both feature other <span style="font-weight: bold;">connectivity items </span>such as aGPS, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, and mobile hotspot functionality – albeit, AT&T’s version of the iPad lacks the latter function.</span></div>

Although they both excel with macro and outdoor scenery shots, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 doesn’t handle dynamic range as well as the iPad. On top of that, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 strains under the pressure with low lighting conditions, as it’s marred by washed out colors and grainy visuals, but its LED flash is there to the rescue. Thanks to its backside illumination sensor, the iPad does a better job to draw out details with its exposure, but some hints of noise are evident – though, it’s still tolerable.<br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">At the same time, the iPad is the preferred choice for <span style="font-weight: bold;">recording videos </span>– especially when it shoots it at 1080p, as opposed to 720p with the Galaxy Tab 10.1. After looking over both recordings, it’s undeniably clear that the iPad has the distinct advantage with its crisp visuals. Even though both share the same natural looking color production and 29 frames per second capture rate, the iPad’s results are filled with plenty of sharp details – while the Galaxy Tab 10.1’s production is muddy looking.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Apple iPad (3) Sample Video:</span><br /></span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMDsaQVZY5g&feature=player_embedded"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMDsaQVZY5g&feature=player_embedded</span></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Sample Video:</span><br /></span></span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lVjehSKtLw&feature=player_embedded"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lVjehSKtLw&feature=player_embedded</span></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Multimedia:</span><br /><br />We’ve grumbled about it in our review of the new iPad, so it doesn’t surprise us that we prefer the <span style="font-weight: bold;">music player </span>of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Obviously, the two embody the same exact functionality when it comes to playing music, but Galaxy Tab 10.1 is accompanied with a spiffier looking 3D carousel when browsing through songs. Besides the visual look of their respective players, we find audio quality to be nearly identical to one another. Specifically, their speakers pump out punchy tones that are pleasant to the ear – without exhibiting any strain at the loudest volume.<br /></span></span></div>

Both are wonderful for watching videos, even more for the new iPad thanks to its Retina display, but unless you have videos that are scaled to its resolution or above, you’re not going to notice the difference. However, due to its warmer color production, our eyes take fancy over the iPad more so than the Galaxy Tab 10.1. <br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Fortunately, <span style="font-weight: bold;">battery life </span>isn’t much of a concern for these two tablets, seeing that they’re able to provide us with at least one single day of normal usage on a full charge – and to us, they’re above average. However, in our time using both, we find the iPad giving us a tad bit more juice. Well, that shouldn’t be too much of a surprise considering it’s packing an unbelievable 11,560 mAh battery – versus the 6,800 mAh one inside of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Conclusion:</span><br /><br />Sammy went through a lot in redesigning the </span><a href="http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-GALAXY-Tab-10.1_id5338" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Galaxy Tab 10.1</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> to beat the </span><a href="http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Apple-iPad-2_id5255" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">iPad 2</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> in terms of thinness, but with the </span><a href="http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Apple-iPad-3_id5715" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">new iPad</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">, they’re now in and over their head. Being the new kid on the block, the iPad has the advantage in many aspects because of its superior hardware, but even beyond that, it offers a lot of bang for the buck. Staring down at their starting prices, the LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is too bloated at $700 outright through Verizon, and honestly, it makes the $630 starting cost of the LTE enabled iPad so much more valuable. Frankly, the iPad’s lower price point is enough to warrant a buy over its rival – especially when it’s a premium tablet that’s price super competitively. Also, the visual allure of the iPad’s Retina display is more than enough justification to pick it up as well.<br /></span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BG8A5shlP0&feature=player_embedded"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BG8A5shlP0&feature=player_embedded</span></a><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">7 Cool Things to do with your iPad 3 </span></h1>
<div class="articleBody">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">These days, nearly everyone owns a tablet. But did you know they can be used for more than just games and surfing websites while in bed? Here are some nifty things you can do with your iPad 3.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><u>Use it as a second monitor</u></strong></span></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="248" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/site-assets2/site-assets/coolthings1.jpg" width="247" /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Why buy another monitor when your iPad 3 can multi task? Use the Air Display app, </span><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/air-display/id368158927?mt=8"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">available from iTunes</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> at US$9.99, to connect to your Mac or Windows computer via wi-fi.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><u>Have the weather forecast</u></strong></span></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="311" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/site-assets2/site-assets/coolthings2.jpg" width="413" /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This weather app is straightforward when it comes to laying the facts out, but also looks great on the new display, with its animated background that reflects the current weather. It costs </span><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weather-live/id464770748?mt=8"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">just $0.99</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> on iTunes.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><u>Redecorate</u></strong></span></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="415" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/site-assets2/site-assets/coolthings3.jpg" width="311" /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Sure, Apple’s minimalist approach is great, but you want something that can make your iPad stand out from the crowd. Try Pimp Your Screen, an ultra-customisable, </span><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pimp-your-screen-your-device/id419864550?mt=8"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">$0.99 app</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><u>Read a book</u></strong></span></em><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="328" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/site-assets2/site-assets/coolthings4.jpg" width="463" /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The iPad comes with a built-in e-book reader that can link up to the iBookstore! With over 700,000 books, we’re not thinking of running to any brick-and-mortar stores anytime soon.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><u>Be a DJ</u></strong></span></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="376" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/site-assets2/site-assets/coolthings5.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Yeah, don’t waste your time auditioning for radio stations or trying to get into clubs when you can just download a </span><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/turntable.fm-play-music-together/id460448648?mt=8"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">multi-touch turntable app</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> for the iPad. J You can also play it online.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><u>Cook with it</u></strong></span></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="286" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/site-assets2/site-assets/coolthings6.jpg" width="334" /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Find it hard to peer at little recipes while in the kitchen? Watch a how-to video on your iPad while chopping up those scallions, or keep a recipe open at the largest text size possible.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><u>Play music</u></strong></span></i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="377" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/site-assets2/site-assets/coolthings7.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">You can get an entire band going if your mates have iPads too. Just boot Garage Band up, and have each person take an instrument. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">BlackBerry has been voted as the “Coolest Brand Overall” in SA for the second
year running in the Sunday Times Generation Next 2012 Brand Survey Awards.
Announced at an event last week, BlackBerry also took top honours in the
“Coolest Cellphone” and “Coolest High-Tech Gadget” categories.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The Generation Next Survey included 5 500 urban and peri-urban young South
<span class="intelliword" id="HL0">Africans</span>, aged between eight and
22, and was conducted by HDI Youth Marketeers during February and March.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“The study illustrates young consumers' brand preferences on what they think
is '<span class="intelliword" id="HL1">cool</span>', irrespective of financial
constraints, and offers key insight into trends likely to affect brand profit,
whether in present or future consumption,” says HDI Youth Marketeers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Marketing director for SA at Research In Motion (RIM), Lanie Visser, says:
“These awards reflect how the BlackBerry smartphone has become an indispensable
<span class="intelliword" id="HL2">social</span> tool and lifestyle device
for active, connected young South Africans, and we would like to thank our young
BlackBerry customers for their continued loyalty."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<div class="xhead-box">
<span class="xhead"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Cool
factor</strong></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">According to RIM, BlackBerry's local popularity is largely due to the
affordability of its BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS). “Popular apps such as
BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) – which is included in the BIS fee, have also helped
to cement BlackBerry's popularity with young people,” says RIM, adding that
globally there are over 56 million BBM users. RIM says BBM penetration in SA is
among the highest in the world, with 98% of South African BlackBerry customers
using BBM.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Rounding out the top five in the “Coolest Brand Overall” category were BMW,
Coca-Cola, Nike and Apple. FNB was voted the “Coolest Bank” (followed by Absa
and Standard Bank), and Facebook dominated the “Coolest social networking site
and Web site” category, with 28% of the vote, followed by Mxit (16.6%), Google+
(9.8%), Whatsapp (8.2%) and Twitter (6.8%). When it comes to computing, Apple
took the top spot, followed by Samsung, Sony, HP and LG.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In the “Coolest Cellphone” category, BlackBerry took 36.7% of the vote,
followed by Nokia (22.4%), Apple's iPhone (20.3%) and Samsung (8.9%). While
BlackBerry was also the “Coolest High-tech Gadget”, with 12.5% of the vote,
while runners up were laptops (12.1%), PlayStation 3 (11.7%), the iPad (11%) and
the iPod (8.6%).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<div class="xhead-box">
<span class="xhead"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Addressing demand</strong></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In October last year, World Wide Worx (WWW) and Fuseware released a study of
the South African social media landscape. The report showed BlackBerry's BBM
service was the fastest growing social network for the second half of 2011 in
SA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">At the time, WWW MD Arthur Goldstuck said: “The rate of BBM growth is a
factor of Blackberry growth – for much of the last quarter, BlackBerry has been
taking 70% of the smartphone market in SA, and that has been driven to a large
extent by the demand for BBM, along with the low cost of unlimited Internet
access on the device.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Goldstuck says this has meant a growth rate for BBM of about 500% through
2011 and into early 2012. “After that, the momentum will slow down, and it will
become a question of how BlackBerry addresses the demand for a more app-friendly
phone.”</span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">But a BlackBerry is more than just a phone that lets the user make calls – it is also a business tool that allows for more functionality than a traditional mobile handset. But what most BlackBerry users don’t know is that their phone possesses the ability to do so much more than meets the eye.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I finally decided to go with the Blackberry 9380 and so far I'm really happy with it.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are a few of the things I've got to say about the Blackberry 9380</span>
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">KEYBOARD</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At first I though the onboard keypad would be a bit tricky. I was used to typing on the Nokia 5800 onscreen keyboard using a stylus. The Blackberry 9380 does not come with any stylus. The keys on the Blackberry 9380 is slightly larger that those on the Nokia 5800. I got used to the onscreen keyboard within a week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BUTTONS and KEYS</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first hiccup with my Blackberry was to find the Screen Lock Key. I checked the booklet, I checked all the buttons on the side and at the bottom of the screen, I even went through the whole menu looking for "keylock", "key guard", and "lock", but could not find anything. A friend came to my rescue and showed my the next day that the button is right at the top of the screen. The rest of the buttons were quite easy to understand and I love the Convenience Button. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">MENU STRUCTURE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Much to my surprise, the menu was not at all hard to understand. I created folders and moved my Icons to the folder where I want it. Example: In Instant Messaging folder I have my GTalk, BBM, Twitter, Text Messages, Email, Mxit, WhatsApp. In Media Folder I have all my Pictures, Videos, Music, Podcast, Video Camera and Camera. Everything is grouped and my Menu Screen is organised and not over-crowded with icons.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">SOUND and PICTURE QUALITY</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I must say that I am impressed with the 5MP EDOF (Extended Depth of Field) Camera. My photos are bright and clear and very detailed even when I zoomed in 6x. Video Camera was just as impressive, the picture and sound is fantastic. I love my music. That was the reason I got me the Nokia 5800 Express Music. The sound of my Nokia was great. So obviously I tested the music quality on the Blackberry 9380, and it ROCKS!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">TOUCH SCREEN</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh boy, what can I say, it is SMOOTH! And super responsive. 3.2" HVGA+ Touch Screen, 480×360 Transmissive (TFT) LCD display, with a pixel resolution of 188 dpi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">FEATURES and APPLICATIONS</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the fact that I can access Facebook 3 different ways, Opera Mini, Facebook App, and the Blackberry Browser. The same goes for Twitter. My emails come to me instantly. I can even open attachments in PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPT. The document viewer is so user friendly and easy to use. I love the BBM App, its easy and straigh forward. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall, I'm very happy with the Blackberry. I really thought I was going to regret changing from Nokia after all these years, but I can honestly say that I am really glad I made the right decision.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">P.S.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In September I will be due for upgrade on my Data Contract and I'm considering a tablet instead of a laptop. My current laptop is still in a very good condition. So now I'll be looking up on the specs of the different tablets out there. </span><br />
