Say wha? That's right folks that right there is an interesting and revolutionary app. So, grab your iOS device and give it a try. Not convinced yet? That's ok, I can't blame you given some low-quality apps laying around the app store.
What's this about? Well this is the real deal if you wanna loose some weight - and look cool at the same time!
This is a level-up game and point-based program. You start by tracking your diet, where whole foods are worth more points than processed foods. It's similar to Weight Watchers, but in reverse. The thing is most people regain weight because they never learn long-term habits and return back to bad habits after they're done with the diet. SlimKicker, on the other hand is all about learning proper nutrition, portion control, and acquiring important habits. In addition to challenges, SlimKicker also offers tools such as a calorie counter, a fitness tracker and resources.
I'm glad to see that there are still people keen on innovation, congrats to all those who made SlimKicker the real deal!
Innovation is scarce and mere upgrades are paramount… The Xperia S is in between but has everything it takes to take on the top dogs.
So, let’s see what the S has onboard: Snapdragon platform with a 1.5Ghz dual core processor, 1GB of ram, Adreno 220 GPU, 32GB of storage, 4.3 inch display of HD resolution @1280x720 pixels, 12MP camera with autofocus and Exmor R sensor for low light conditions along with 1080p video recording.
Connectivity-wise there’s WiFi(b/g/n), Bluetooth, NFC(near field communication), DLNA, USB on the go, micro-USB and HDMI 2.0. All this in a slim form factor measuring only 10.6 mm in depth.
The Xperia S is running on Android 2.3 with the ICS update coming up soon. Anyway the Sony’s Timescape user interface offers enough functionality and eye-candy for the average user :) On the gaming side the “PlayStation Certified” feature allows for playing PlayStation Suite games.
The device’s design mixes the classic form factor with a transparent strip which cuts through the base of the device in which the antenna is embedded - it also illuminates and indicates where the on-screen buttons are placed.
Sony really nails it with this product, it really adds the “S” letter back into the “Smartphone” wor(l)d.
Well, webOS is no more but that doesn’t stops enthusiasts from innovating. Cardswitcher brings some of that webOS’s multitask interface style and functionality to iOS.
The result is quite interesting to say the least, this jailbreak tweak is a true alternative for the default iOS app switcher. You have to have your iDevice jailbreaked in order to install this tweak. So, what are you waiting for? Give it a try!
Thin supermodel physique or the thinnest and lightest tablet with a 10.1” LED backlit LCD capacitive touchscreen with 16M colors @1280 x 800 pixels - meet the AT200 tablet from Toshiba which is 7.7mm thin and weighs a mere 558g.
Hardware wise this “excitement” is powered by a 1.2 Ghz dual core processor, 1GB of ram and aPowerVR SGX540 Gpu. When it comes to storage it has 16 or 32 GB of internal memory with the possibility to upgraded it up to 32 GB more by using its microSD card slot.
Wireless connectivity is assured by Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP and EDR(enhanced data rate) and GPS. It also features a micro USB port (data transfer and charging) and a micro hdmi out port.
The main camera takes snapshots at 5MP with autofocus and is recording HD video @720p.
Android 3.2 Honeycomb runs the show until the planned update to Android 4.0 ICS would be available later on to even better handle the AT200’s “excitement”. The battery life extends up to 8hrs depending on usage.
The best contenders of AT200 are: Asus Transformer Prime, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and iPad(2012).
If you haven’t made up your mind yet – choose what best suits you cause beauty is in the eye of the beholder :)
I gotta tell you folks, I have a thing for fine engineering. This baby right here is manufactured from a single piece of aluminum, thus replacing many parts with just one resulting the "unibody" MacBook Pro.
Let's round up the specs:
Display: 15 inch Processor: Intel Core i7 2.2GHz quad-core Ram: 4GB @1333MHz HDD: 750GB @5400rpm Video: Intel HD Graphics 3000 + AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5 Baterry life: up to 7 hours
Special features: Thunderbolt- the most versatile I/O in a notebook today
The new FaceTime HD camera
Multi-touch trackpad
Baterry @77.5Wh OS: X Lion
The system's performance is above average and if you're into Macbooks this machine is worthy of your attention, if not there's always an alternative depending on your needs. So, what's your game, macbooks or notebooks?
Let's take the word "phone" as an example, how many of you think of "smartphones" when you hear it? And the answer would be - many :)
Nowadays smartphones come in all kind of "flavors": iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7, meeGo, Symbian and others. It wasn't long ago that "cheap" was similar to low quality products. The game has changed - this time in the buyer's interest. Now let's "light" this "Fire" up. Steady, ready and go :)
Specs wise, under the hood there's the most typical hardware available: an ARM 11 clocked at 600 mhz, 256mb of RAM, WiFi b/g/n, and bluetooth 2.1. OS wise - Gingerbread (Android 2.3) runs the show and adds value to the "Fire". The reception is good - no dropped calls, messaging is a breeze thanks to the hardware qwerty keyboard (Blackberry styled) although the user can opt for the software one as well. The overall built quality is above average and the handset feels good in hand.
The 3MP camera takes some good snapshots given the proper lighting conditions are provided - no autofocus or flash for this price tag though. The battery backup is not the best there is out there but it can get you through the day and the "People centric" widget by Moto along with the low ram (only 256mb) can lead to occasional lags in the user interface.
To sum it up - the Fire delivers the "bang for the buck".
Tablets come in different sizes and hardware configurations but in the end it all comes down to the user's needs. I remember the Dell Streak's reviews - too small for a tablet and too big for a phone. It was the first 5 inch screen tablet/phone.
Nowadays the Samsung Galaxy Note is a hit with its 5.3 inch screen but unlike the Dell's Streak the Note has both the hardware and the software to prove its worth among Android's top dogs.
The Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 is for the Galaxy S line of smartphones what the iPod Touch is for iPhone, meaning you get the Galaxy S smartphone's performance at a lower price without the phone function i.e. with GSM and 3G modules stripped off. Still, the device has an earpiece and a microphone built in so calls through wifi are possible whether you use Yahoo, Skype or other voip(voice over ip) solution and the front facing camera makes video calling a viable option too.
I was a bit skeptical about a 5 inch device but the hands-on experience was better than what I was expecting. Hardware wise the device has the same specs as the Galaxy S smartphone. Under the hood there's a 1Ghz Hummingbird processor that powers an Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
Hummingbirds and gingerbreads... funny :)
The performance is fluid, there are no hiccups and the TouchWiz interface adds to the eye candy although I personally prefer the vanilla experience. Android Market makes up for 50% of this device cause of the huge apps and games selection. Videos look great on the 5 inch screen, audio output is great in case you use some quality headphones - the stock ones are not state of the art but get the job done. I haven't played the latest Android game titles on it but all I can say is Angry Birds runs great on it :)
The internet experience is pleasant. All the flash videos and animations loaded flawlessly although I'm certain that there are some sites out there in the wild that would stress the hardware, keep in mind that this is not a dual-core platform. At 2500 mAh, the battery life is above average but it also depends on the user's usage style - light or heavy.
Overall this is a great product, more like a niche product, it also features a GPS module and a 3MP camera with flash and autofocus making up for a good price/quality ratio.
I recommend it to anyone who doesn't have an Android powered smartphone or to anyone in search of a small tablet or PDA.
