Upgrade the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 GT-P6800 to pre-rooted Android 3.2 Honeycomb build DXLB3
by Paul Nuñal on Apr 20, 2012 2 Comments">2
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 GT-P6800 with its massive 7.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen and dual-core 1.4 GHz Exynos chipset is like having a super-sized Galaxy Note minus the S-Pen. If you have been using the Galaxy Tab 7.7 for quite a while now then you might have been bored by the same old Honeycomb UI and its features. Samsung has been apparently tweaking some Honeycomb builds lately and one of its recent works is already out in the open. The latest Android 3.2 Honeycomb firmware, known as DXLB3, has already been released for the Galaxy Tab 7.7. This …

Another month, another set of statistics revealed by Google for us to ogle and scrutinize. So, which Android platform is ruling the universe, and which is heading straight to the black hole? Here’s a spoiler, there’s really no significant shake-up from last month. Let’s work our way down from the top and analyze the Android platform distribution chart among Android devices owners that have accessed Google Play for the 2-week period ending April 2, 2012. Android 2.3 Gingerbread is still the most popular Android flavor around, securing a 63% share. Taking second place is Android 2.2 Froyo with 23.1%. About 6% …

That’s why when news about delays broke out, people got agitated and all the more anxious to see what the fuss is all about. Plus, it did not help that tech blogs endlessly talk about the latest OS, the Android …
Beta ICS ROM Comes to the Viewsonic G-Tablet
by Lucian Armasu on Feb 07, 2012 0 Comments">0
The G-Tablet was one of very first Tegra 2 tablets, long before the Motorola Xoom appeared. Unfortunately this also meant that it came with an un-optimized version of Android for tablets. To make matters worse, Google didn’t open source Android 3.0 or Honeycomb, so it wasn’t available for the G-tablet, because only a few manufacturers had early access to it. Others have tried putting custom versions of Honeycomb on it, but it kept being limited by the performance and bugs of Honeycomb, plus the fact that Honeycomb wasn’t fully open source. The G-Tablet was a decent tablet for its price, …

by Christine Torralba on Dec 24, 2011 0 Comments">0
If you’re still scrambling for some last minute shopping, you may want to rush off to the nearest Archos retailer. Last Tuesday, the company announced that they will be putting their Google Android Honeycomb tablet 70b at a suggested price of only $199. This is the very first Honeycomb tablet being sold at a price less than the typical $200 mark. Moreover, other tablets that are priced below this margin still carry the earlier versions of Android. Even with this price for a Honeycomb tablet, it may be hard for Archos to see their sales improving. Considering that these devices …

by Brandon Sobotta on Dec 21, 2011 7 Comments">7
A lot of terms today are thrown around in the Android community that to some, may be a little confusing. I have decided to write a post that may help clear up some of the confusion for the newcomers to the world that we have come to know as Android. The first part (that I will not covering today) is the hardware our phones are built with; the processor, screen, battery, and etc. The other is the software that is on the phone, generally referred to as the firmware. Today, I am going to go over some of the terms in reference …

MegaWords (Beta) Review
by Brandon Sobotta on Dec 16, 2011 3 Comments">3
I am a HUGE fan of word games. So when I found out my next review was going to be a word game that I have never heard of before, I was excited. Well, the first thought I had was what is Megawords and what separates it from all the other word games out there? Based on MegaWords little corner on the Android Market, it describes itself as “a multiplayer word game that combines the rules of Boggle and Scrabble.” To be honest, when I first read it I was kinda confused, I haven’t played Boggle in years and have no idea what …

Samsung has definitely been striking gold recently. Not only did they create the Galaxy S2, one of the best-selling Android phones in history; they are also threading new grounds with the Samsung Galaxy Note. In Malaysia, the Galaxy Note has received such a high demand. Despite restocking efforts by Samsung, the Note is practically sold out at this point of time. There must be something Samsung is doing right. Here comes the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. It’s a decent (and more affordable) tablet option that performs extremely well. We took the HoneyComb tablet for a review and below are …

Furthermore, application updates are like Christmas presents to smartphone users. Netflix knows this and is constantly changing the UI (user interface) of all of their apps to keep their users coming back for more. And earlier today, they did just that.
Tablet and Notebook Redefined: Asus Transformer Prime In-depth Look
by Lucian Armasu on Nov 10, 2011 18 Comments">18
Yesterday, Asus officially unveiled the Transformer Prime, and everything looks great and it’s actually better than you would expect. It shows that Asus really wanted to make this device as good as they can make it, and boy did they succeed. The moment you see it you will be reminded of Asus’ UX21 Zenbook, and I was actually hoping that would happen. Extremely thin tablet+extremely thin keyboard, both made from aluminum and packed together – what more could you want? Add that to the fact that it will be the first quad core Tegra 3 tablet, will have an integrated …
