Review: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

I got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 about a week ago. The Galaxy Tab is available in two colors: white and metallic gray. It is sold in a 16 GB model, which is about $500, and a 32 GB model, which is about $600.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 runs Android version 3.2 Touch Wiz and has a dual-core processor (1GHz x 2. It has a 7,000 mAh battery which would last 9 hours of usage time and 1000 hours of standby time with Wi-Fi on and 3900 without Wi-Fi on. Also if you were to use the device with 4G LTE, it would last about 400 hours of standby time.

The Galaxy Tab uses the Android web browser and is compatible with Adobe Flash Player. The Galaxy Tab has the ability to video chat through ooVoo and Skype because it contains a front-facing camera, that is a 2.0 megapixel camera and a 3.0 Megapixel camera on the back of the device. The Galaxy Tab has a beautiful display and a very smooth feeling to it.

The customization that can be done on this device is the following: the ability to add widgets, add what app shortcuts you want and to customize the wallpaper you want on your lock screen, as well as your home screens. This device is great because it has the entire Android Marketplace and the Samsung Marketplace. I've used it to watch YouTube videos, go on the Internet, play apps and for my social media tasks.The device, in my opinion, deserves 4.9 out of 5 stars.

Kensington Protective Back Cover for iPad 2 Review

I was lucky enough to receive the Kensington Protective Back Cover for iPad 2 for review about a week ago. This is my final review of the product. You can watch the full review in the video, and/or read the pros and cons below.

Pros

• Rubber material offers grip and easy installation
• Lay on the table design
• Cut out for all necessary ports
• Works seamlessly with Smart Cover
• Cheap price point

Cons 

• Fingerprints very easily
• Precise cutouts for headphone jack and 30-oin dock connector may cause issues with 3rd party accessories
• Covered lock and volume rocker detriment the feedback of the buttons greatly

Overall, I really liked this case. I would reccomend it to anyone who already has a Smart Cover that wants the extra protection that a back cover provides. You can buy yours here.

Amazon Kindle Fire Released: My Take

After tons of rumors, Amazon finally met our expectations and announced their Amazon Kindle Fire, a 7" Android based tablet. Despite my love for Apple, I'm very seriously considering picking up one of these. Why? And will this be the iPad killer? Watch for my opinion!



Ultimately, I don't think Amazon's Fire is trying to compete with the iPad. With a $199 price tag, the Fire is intended to be a media consuming device. That is the reason I'm interested in it! Since the tablet market emerged, I have wanted something small, cheap and simple to read books, browse websites and watch streaming content on. The only thing that turns me off a bit is your need to be an Amazon Prime member, which requires a yearly fee. What do YOU think of the Fire?
