Bmobile's Promotion Advertisement For The Samsung Galaxy S II

This stunning and high class game, which reminds me of Gran Tourismo a little bit, is developed by Gameloft which is a well known and pretty reliable game developer Company!!

Acer Iconia Smart Android OS Smartphone Specs And Review, Will It Be A Smart Choice??

         Acer is well known for it's laptops and desktop computers around the world, but it seems they are trying to gain market share into the smartphone and tablet pc market of  late. The Acer Iconia Smart is Acer's latest smartphone and was released in April 2011 into the market. Much has not been said about this smartphone from Acer since it was released, maybe due to the fact of all the rave and excitement of the four Acer Iconia Tablet PCs that were also released under the same marketing name  "ICONIA" in April 2011 also. See the following link http://mytechsngadgets.blogspot.com/2011/06/acer-iconia-tab-a501-a101-specs-and.html .
          The Acer Iconia Smart runs on a 1GHz Scorpion processor, Qualcomm MSM8255-1 Snapdragon with  Android OS 2.3 (Gingerbread). The Acer Iconia Smart  is uniquely  shaped with a huge 4.8 inches , 480 x 1024 pixels capacitive touchscreen with a 21:9 aspect ratio and has Adobe Flash Player 10.1 which when  all combined together will allow for crisp and clear web browsing experience, stunning videos and photos!!
           The Acer Iconia Samrt also boasts of stunning features such as 8 GB internal storage, a micro SD card slot compatible with up to 32GBs, 512 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM for fast and smooth multitasking, but it's a bit too little for my liking and may cause the phone to lag when plenty apps are installed, a 8 MP 3264x2448 pixels, camera with  autofocus and LED flash and video recording at mailto:720p@30fps, a secondary or front facing 2MP camera and a mini HDMI port to connect your smartphone to HDMI compatible devices for example a HD television, Wi-Fi, Dolby surround sound technology for impressive sound experience and much more!!!

Sony Ericsson Line Of 'XPERIA' Android OS Smartphones Specs And Review, ( ARC, NEO AND RAY)!!!

      Sony Ericsson phones are commonly known for their high resolution cameras for taking stunning photos and recording of crisp and clear videos, and it's music player for it's phones which boasts of clean and audible sound for long periods of time on a fully charged battery. It seems not too long ago that we all once had a Sony Ericsson phone just to play and listen to your favourite songs, almost like a 'mp3' player and to take photos of treasured moments with it's camera, which back then it's cameras pixel quality  was then considered to be of high quality and  the best at that time, of most of it's competitors.
       Back to the present now, and every thing has changed, smartphones are the new 'phones' that are considered to be the new 'must have phones,' as compared to not so long ago about late 2009, where these feature were almost non-existent and everyone never considered purchasing a phone with smartphone features that are now ever so prevalent such as large memory capacity, high resolution cameras, improved OS, 1GHz plus CPUs, high resolution capacitive touch screens with large number of pixels and the list just goes on and on. To date, Sony Ericsson are still one of the biggest competitors in the phone market, although it's becoming tougher and tougher with improvements and new innovations needed daily to stay in the market.
        It seems Sony Ericsson has done just this, to hold a spot within the 'smartphone' market by releasing some new smartphones to it's 'XPERIA' line of Android OS smartphones, quite similar to what Samsung did by releasing it's line of Galaxy S smartphones which are currently available in Trinidad!! So without further keep back, the three of the Sony Ericsson 'XPERIA' line oif smartphones to be looked at in this post are the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, Sony Ericsson Xperia

           The next Archos Tablet PC to be looked at in this post is the Archos 70 250 GB Internet Tablet, which is priced at $279.99 US dollars currently (05/07/2011) at amazon at the following link http://www.amazon.com/Archos-70-Internet-Tablet-Black/dp/B00422XOEG/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1309888225&sr=1-5 .  The bottom line with the Archos 70 250 GB Internet Tablet is that it offers more horsepower and features than any other tablet under $300, but its limitations make it more of a toy than a tool. The Archos 70 250 GB Internet Tablet has attractive features such as a 250GB Hard Drive, Micro SD card slot for expandable memory up to 8GBs,High resolution screen, WVGA 800 x 480 pixels, 7'' TFT LCD, 16 million colors Capacitive multitouch screen, Android 2.2 (froyo) OS,  ARM Cortex A8 at 1 GHz with DSP Processor,  Graphic accelerator: 3D OpenGL ES 2.0, Pre-installed applications as follows; Aldiko, Ebuddy, Wikipedia, Avecomics, HubKap, Deezer, Mewbox, Raging Thunderlite (a 3D car demo game), WordNewspaper, Touiteur, Fring, HDMI output via Mini HDMI which requires HDMI cable which is sold separately and much more stunning features!! Detailed specs are listed below!! 

The good: The Archos 70 Android tablet includes a capable 1GHz processor, capacitive 7-inch touch screen, front-facing camera, Bluetooth, HDMI output capability, and up to 250GB of storage.

The bad: The tablet is generally sluggish, build quality feels cheap, viewing angles are crummy, and the app store is thinly stocked.

Archos 70 250GB Home Screen Internet Tablet Pic!!

          The last Archos Andoid OS Tablet PC to be at in this post that is relatively cheaply priced is the Archos 101 16GB and 8GB Internet Tablet PCs, which is priced at $299.99 US dollars and $255.00 US dollars respectively  at amazon at the following links   http://www.amazon.com/ARCHOS-101-Internet-Tablet-16GB/dp/B00422TXZA/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1309889606&sr=1-6  (16GB)

The bottom line with the Archos Archos 101 16GB and 8GB Internet is that the Tablet PCs tablet's price is right and the screen is ample, but the experience is outdated and performance is sluggish. Some of the best features of this device are that it has a High resolution capacitive multitouch screen, 1024x600 pixels (WXVGA), 10.1'' TFT LCD screen, Android 2.2 (froyo) OS, Graphic accelerator: 3D OpenGL ES 2.0, Pre-Installed apps as follows;  Aldiko, Ebuddy, Wikipedia, Avecomics, HubKap, Deezer, Mewbox, Raging Thunderlite (a 3D car demo game), WordNewspaper, Touiteur, Fring,  HDMI output via Mini HDMI of which a HDMI cable sold separately, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and much more!!

The good: The Archos 101 is one of few Android 2.2 tablets with a large 10.1-inch screen. Extras such as a front-facing camera, Mini-HDMI output, USB host and sync ports, and microSD memory expansion are impressive considering the tablet's low price.

The bad: Charging requires wall adapter, screen quality and responsiveness are mediocre; onscreen keyboard is awkward; not fully compatible with Adobe Flash; lacks support for Android Market and Google Mobile apps, such as Maps, Navigation, Contacts, and Calendar.
