May 2011 Tech Update: HP Touch Pad Review (www.drmobiles.co.nz) Auckland Phone Repair

HP too has joined the league of tablets with a competitive product called HP touch pad. This 9.7 inch device is good enough to put some popular tablets to reconsideration and manages to win customers on the basis of its specs and looks. This tablet is fitted in with a Qualcomm Snapdragon dual core 1.2 GHz processor in place of its brain.

The 9.7 inch of the touchscreen display offers a resolution count of 1024×768 pixels whose excellence can be measured from the fact that Apple’s iPad too comes with a similar pixel count. One great and unique point with this device is that one can separately buy a wireless Bluetooth keyboard along with it. Infact this model also comes with the A-GPS technology too. The operating system that Touch pad works on is WebOS which was originally created by Palm and it seems to be especially designed for the tablet use and not like a phone OS. The other features provided are Bluetooth, a front facing camera, music system and Wireless internet facility.

One point that can make you change your decision of buying HP Touch Pad as your tablet is the fact that it doesn’t offer you a rear camera. It just comes with a 1.2 MP front facing camera that enables video calls and conferencing. Motorola Xoom is a better choice as it provides a 5MP rear camera too. The screen also lacks a little bit on the luminance feature. But overall HP Touch pad has the making of a good competitor to a lot of existing and upcoming tablets.

2011: Apple iPad II Review. Dr Mobiles Limited Apple iPhone 4 Repair and unlock, North Shore

One little-noticed upgrade to the AT&T iPad 2's 3G radio will make a big difference to many users outside the US and international travelers: the refreshed tablet now supports quad-band UMTS, like the iPhone 4. The original iPad, as well as the iPhone 3G/3GS, only had tri-band UMTS, omitting support for the 900 MHz band common in Asia and parts of Europe. The Verizon model's CDMA radio, on the other hand, is compatible with very few carriers' networks worldwide, making it a poor choice for globetrotters.
One of the complaints about the iPhone 3G, and its successor the 3GS, was that it supported only AT&T's 850 and 1900 MHz UMTS bands, and the 2100 MHZ band used in Europe and Asia. Many carriers in Australasia, however, use the 900 MHz band, especially in rural areas, and since the European Commission opened up the 900 MHz band in 2009, carriers in Europe expanded their offerings in that frequency range as well. 900 MHz is attractive in less populated areas, because lower frequencies travel further and penetrate buildings more easily than the higher frequencies do, which means carriers don't have to deploy as many base stations. As a result, when the iPhone 4 included support for the UMTS VII operating band, it came as a relief to users in these areas. Previously, the best available to users of these carriers was slow EDGE or even GPRS service.
The GSM iPad's inclusion of 900 MHz support, then, means that the same device can be used with many carriers in Europe, Asia, and the Antipodes, where Vodafone offers rural 3G coverage using 900 MHz in Australia and New Zealand, The Verizon iPad may not be the best choice for international travelers, as its EV-DO Rev. A radio isn't compatible with many systems. However, for people who travel mostly between the US, Canada, and Mexico, the Verizon iPad should work just fine, as CDMA is fairly common in those countries.
