Solution to a problem with APN on Nexus S, ICS – Ice Cream Sandwich
Posted by admin in Nexus, Smartphone, Uncategorized on April 19, 2012
I recently updated to ICS, by using the update that was directly sent to my phone. The OS looks and feels very solid and intuitive, however, since the upgrade I was unable to use 3G internet. It turned out that some settings in the APN cannot be changed. At this stage third party apps also have trouble with this – such as APN backup and restore.
However, the solution was very simple. All is needed is a full REBOOT of the phone and the needed settings reappeared! I now can enjoy my phone.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus review
Posted by admin in Brand tablets, ereader, galaxy tab, Honeycomb 3.2, Samsung on December 27, 2011
I remember Star Trek officers walking around with thin tablet computers. It was a science fiction back then. Last week, however, as I opened the box with my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, I was amazed how thin it is. The sleek black desing slims the device even more, espesially when compared to my previous device. Till now, I was using WITS a81e, but decided to move to a brand tablet due to mechanical problems.
So, after using this for a week I have my first impressions . The new Tab is miles faster and responsive then P1000 Galaxy Tab I reviewed earlier. The specs are not so far apart, but the combination of the upgraded cpu and Honeycomb 3.2 really make a difference . One apparent drawback is the lack of 3G connectivity. Although Wi-Fi is available in most places, recently there is a troubling trend of charging for the use of it. Read the rest of this entry »
Samsung Galaxy 7.0″ Tab Protective Leather Easel Case, Black review
Posted by admin in 7-inch, Brand tablets, Samsung on December 27, 2011
I purchaised this case to go with my new and incredibly slim Galaxy Tab. This here was a root of my problem. While the actual tab feels very slik, the Tab in Case feels like medium size book. The positive side is that the case feels nicely built, and even…. ragged. definitively reasonable purchase for under 20$.
IVIEW-710TPC 7 inch Tablet – whats up with that?
Posted by admin in 7-inch, Android 2.3 gingerbread on November 18, 2011
This device is a bit of a puzzle. It features a Resistive Touch Screen which is a bit outdated nowdays. However, the rest of the specs look pretty solid with ample telechips processor and Android 2.3 inside. It retails for 120+$ online and could be entry level device for somebody that is not looking for gaming with this tablet.

7″ EKEN M009S tablet review
Posted by admin in 7-inch, Android 2.2 (Froyo), Chinese tablets, Eken on October 9, 2011
Ok, so you have less then 100$ to spend on a tablet (include shipping of course!). In that case, you should look closely at 7″ EKEN M009S Tablet. This tablet retails as low as 75$, and will provide basic functionality such as internet browsing and ebook reading. Do not expect fast response, the VIA8650 cpu will definitively not win any clock speed competitions, but on the plus side will provide you with some added time on the battery.

Posted by admin in Android 2.2 (Froyo), Chinese tablets, ONDA on August 31, 2011
I got interested in ONDA VX580W upon looking an Ebay listing. I use a WITS 7 inch tablet and NEXUS S phone, so I thought I had my portable needs covered. However, I find myself interested more and more in something in between those two. This is some specs I’ve got from the web. Please comment if you like the device. Read the rest of this entry »

HTC Flyer 7-inch Android 3G
Posted by admin in 7-inch, Brand tablets, HTC on June 17, 2011
The brand Android 7′ inch market niche has a new competitor. I prefer the 7 inch format, which is truly portable compared to 9.7-10.1 inch devices which are the current mainstream players. The chubby new device is running 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which represents a choice for performance rather then sleekness. The HTC Flyer currently retails for around 900 USD.
Verdict: Not sure I want to buy it over the Galaxy Tab.
Some specs from HTC:
