5 Minutes DIY test on Samsung Galaxy S4

Samsung Galaxy S4, one of the latest smartphone on the row, is on many smartphone users focus. I like to share my 5 minute on-hand experience of Galaxy S4. I do not want to compare my test with any other smartphone, though, you might feel so during this article. Also please note that, this is not technical test but more like general user experience. FYI, i am an iPhone user!

Acer Iconia A500- cnet Review

Design

What should a tablet computer look like? If this question has you imagining Apple's iPad, then you're not alone; it seems as though you share this concept with Acer's design team. The A500 sports a 10.1-inch display up front, surrounded by cool, grey brushed metal in a shade slightly darker than that chosen by the Cupertino designers. Unlike the iPad, the A500 is littered with ports and switches around the edge of the tablet, offering connectivity options unknown to anyone who has bought a tablet before now.

Acer hasn't left out a single port or plug in this portable computer; there's the standard micro USB for file transfers (charging is performed via a proprietary port) and a microSD card to bolster the internal storage. There's also mini-HDMI-out, a feature we are seeing more and more in 2011, but the real kicker is the USB Host port on the bottom-right of the slate. Acer also includes a proprietary dock-mount in the base of the A500, though we didn't get a chance to play with an Acer dock during this review.

CherryPad Android Tablet Price And Specifications

The tablet race seems to be gathering some real time pace and now we can even see some really cheap stuff making it to the surface. The latest one is $ 188 CherryPad Android touch tablet. Cherrypal, manufacturer of CherryPad, deny their product being in any sort of competition against the “mighty” iPad or have any plans to be termed as an “iPad Rip Off”. We already feel a bit uncomfortable with features like resistive display screen, but then, this is what you get for meager bucks you spend.

Here are the specs of Android based CherryPad for your reference:

1. Android 2.1 Eclair OS
2. 7 Inch Resistive 480 x 800 Resistive Touch Screen [Is there a stylus with the package?]
3. 800 MHz Samsung ARM11 Processor
4. 3D Acceleration [Really?]
5. 256 MB RAM
6. 2 GB Internal Storage
7. MicroSD Card Slot
8. Wi-Fi
9. 3G Modem
10. USB Port
11. 3.5mm Headset Jack
12. Google Apps inclusive Of Market

All in all, the tablet seemingly lacks the “Pad” appeal that other same inched tablets possess, but a fully functional Android market might lure some people into buying this. The Cherry pad is on sale now and you can get it for $ 188 only.
