Regulars – Gareth, James and Matt
Android Tablets are hitting in various different shapes and sizes and Huawei, a company well known for it’s 3G dongles and cheap Android smartphones have entered the ring with an attractive debit to the Android race. Is it the be all and end all of Tablets or something destined for obscurity?
One of the more mysterious and ambitious Android Tablets is previewed here in this youtube video. The Notion Ink Adam really looks the biz and there is a huge overlay deposited onto Android. A lot of this seems like it will be alien to an adopter but once mastered it should prove to be productive environment, if all goes to plan. Check out the video after the break:
It is the great pleasure we present our Podcast app for Android. It has been a long time coming and the Apple fanboys have been rocking it for a while however we finally got our act together and have gone multi-platform. You can find it now on the Android Marketplace and Appbrain.
Enjoy and James apologises for all the profanity he adds.
For the most part Android tablets are the cut price or budget iPad alternatives. There doesn’t seem to be the one size fits all option here. Each one has a massive draw back that will result in endless searching. Here we will devel into the Android tablets worth looking at and pluck out the Christmas king.
Over the last few weeks I have been analysing the tablets, identifying their pros and cons and am determined to come up with a result with which Android tablet is the best iPad alternative. I agree there are many editorials like this online however they only seem to feature a handful of those available and mostly those anticipated.
So lets just say its Xmas. Your loved one doesn’t want an iPad so the search is on for the alternative. Toy R Us, TJ Hughes, Next, Asda offerings and other sub £200 tablets are being ignored as they really shouldn’t exist. Honestly, they just shouldn’t!
With only one podcast to go before our biggest milestone we are back after a bit of a rest and thirsty for a little mobile tech banter. Google has is launching the Nexus S at us and we discuss if we are exciting or not about it. James and Matt endured the Orange Christmas doo. Gareth reviews John’s Phone. Andy has a little rant about Nokia and their future.
There is a massive battle between platforms at the moment, in case you were not aware. Apple are pushing for elegance, Microsoft for logic, Google for intelligence, RIM for organisation and the rest are attacking whatever is left over for a few sales. There is one target audience that the all the efforts of the above companies cannot ever hope to capture – the uninterested.
Carphone Warehouse have updated their site with details of what you can expect to pay for the new Nexus S. Sim unlocked the high price of £549.95 is being demanded. You can of course grab it on PAYG on Vodafone by adding £10 to that. To get it free you’ll be paying £35 a month for 600mins, 500 sms and 500 mb data on a 24 month contract. There is also a £40 option at 900mins, 500 sms, 750mb, again for 2 years.
It’s a tall order and roughly equivalent to what early adopters had to pay to get their hands on the Nexus One on it’s initial release. Delivery is roughly estimated as the end of December.
