Packard Bell Liberty Tab

Two names that lived times of splendor in the early 1990s and who now spend at times quite different, in the case of packard bell as a subsidiary of Acer, and friend virtually out of the market without the identity that characterized.

Today we learned that both will get Android tablets on the market, issue that we had hoped, in the case of Packard Bell and the truth is it will premiere in Europe with a very interesting model: packard bell liberty tab.

To many this tablet will be known, and is that despite the branding and some details of design, the model appears to be a version of the already submitted Acer Iconia Tab A500, issue from my point of view it is positiveespecially if in this version they comply more with price.

Packard Bell Liberty Tab

The tablet uses the omnipresent Nvidia Tegra 2chipset, has a screen of 10.1 inches (1280 × 800 pixels), and has to Honeycomb as operating system. On the role a tablet within the standard Google is asking for your system for tablets.

Other interesting specifications are its front camera of 2 megapixel camera, and the rear main of 5 megapixels. The Packard Bell Liberty Tab tablet has a pair of stereo speakers and Dolby mobilecertification.

The device will be available in Europe in the month of June, in two versions of color: Pearl White and Cherry Red. The version that will reach our continent will have connectivity Wi-Fi and 3 G, so it is a good claim for operators. The people of Notebook Italy has a video of his presentation:

The legendary company of computers has prepared a couple of tablets Android 2.2, of 7-10 inches. According to the source of this news tells us, the xpedio 7 mt model is virtually identical to a Samsung Galaxy Tab: 1 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, 16 GB. But with a screen resolution of lower, 800 × 480 pixels, which will give you a starting price of $299.

xpedia 10 mt is the version of 10-inch, it will be available for $449, and which we do not have much detail, that friend has promised that Honeycomb will this version, and that it will donate $25 to the disaster of Haiti and Japan for each tablet sold.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, analysis of the Android phone (and II)

Analysis avatar Javier Penalva on April 1, 2011 | 09: 45 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

Análisis a fondo del Sony Ericsson Xperia Play

The first part of our analysis of Sony Ericsson Xperia Play let us pending speak of your display, rather peculiar as you can see, the Android operating system and its "made in Sony Ericsson" customization, and of course the multimedia features of this phone that boasts 5 megapixel camera.

So we entertain no more and we are going to slaughter with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play analyzed.

Talk of a system of automatic brightness on the screen of a mobile phone is nothing new nor surprising. However, that this Xperia Play will lead no light sensor makes that option not very welcome. The result is that in our tests the basic brightness proposed to us by the phone usually in most cases quite low, which makes it seem a worse screen than it actually is. So to enjoy it and appreciate the good that is, Activate the brightness to the Max.

brillo-xperia-play.jpg

And it is that the resolution or how sample colors that convince us, while watching his sister Bravia in the Sony Ericsson Arc, we already called on Sony Ericsson that it implement the technology on all its phones. They have a good ally in it to combat the "organic" and "Retinal Display" of the market.

The response of the screen in its paragraph touch that has convinced us, in the middle of the best phones on the market.

Android pure or with customization. Surely that is a debate that many users androids ever arise most when choosing a phone with this operating system.

Sony Ericsson has made an adaptation of Android in its upper layers that we like. To group applications by folders with his pitcher us has fallen in love, with a design that fits with your phone.

carpetas-xperia-play.jpg

Management of contacts, with interaction with its "alter egos" in social networks and messaging system deserve a major round of applause. As regards to TimeScape, is more controlled in this Xperia Play but us still enjoying it, although we opt to not have it activated to enhance the autonomy of the team.

timescape-xperia-play.jpg

Where for sure that more differences you notice is the two systems which use this phone for the part of video games: Playstation Pocket and Xperia Play. But that is for the next part of the analysis.

xperia-play-juegos.jpg

The downside of getting to your users good cameras makes that when expectations are very high, a decent camera only does not the chord. And the 5 megapixel camera this Xperia Play is not a bad camera, but pulls away a little camera with a capital already users want to have a mobile phone.

But not all the blame the users with their expectations. Sony Ericsson has not made any effort to give prominence to the camera of this phone thinking that to be the "PlayStation Phone" enough you. They have focused all its efforts in that regard and have simply placed the camera on the back, with its flash (required for best results) and little else.

xperia-play-camara.jpg

Although we cannot control the basic aspects of the image, we expected more than the interface of Sony Ericsson. We would also like to have a physical button for photos, and they could have used perfectly where are flanking the volume control, because its location is perfect for this task.

xperia-play-multimedia-portada-1.jpg

That Yes, in the end, in acceptable conditions, pictures that makes the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play us worth without a display. The following examples:

Where it is could be ported much better is the theme of the video, that is away from the high-definition 720 p that is common to see so-called phones to govern our advanced pockets. This Sony Ericsson's limited to about 800 × 480 pixels, without much more shine in this aspect.

And now we can only look in the latest installment of this analysis of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is this phone as a portable game console.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, analysis of the phone Android (I)

análisis Sony Xperia Play en Xataka

Every day we becomes more complicated to analyze mobile phones. They have already integrated so many functions that strike a balance between them is difficult. In addition, each user has specific needs, and there is no perfect phone. This sony ericsson xperia play that we have thoroughly analyzed for you add the extra to be a real portable console.

In this first part we will tell widely on the finish of the phone, its characteristics and behavior of the battery when we use it as a phone. We will then discuss how is your screen, the performance of the computer, the operating system with a Swedish touch and paragraph multimedia. We will end up with the function of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Star: its use as a portable game console. We started.

Imagine what the sony ericsson xperia play is not a very complicated task. Think inside of a current mobile phone (or at the end of 2010) and place it in the body of a PSPGo. The result is the xperia play, probably the most different phone of how many there are in the market for smartphones.

As we already bring in our video analysis, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is a thick and heavy phone. With a thickness of 16 mm, data that we thought that it was endangered, and a weight of 175 grams, we are left with the question of whether Sony Ericsson could have done more to reduce these two values. However, we are going to take over as lesser-evil for having a different phone.

xperia-play-botonera-trasera.jpg

With these data you know that you better not put it next to one of these delgaduchos modern now, because it will be your xperia play in evidence. But there is a solution for this: open it up and show them all what hides low of 4-inch screen. What has been achieved Sony Ericsson we like.

The reproduction of an complete portable console control is almost perfect. The dimensions are just (perhaps a little limited for big hands but you end up getting used), and the perfect performance. But that talk when you touch. Here I can only say that both the controls and the system of sliding we love and provide us guarantees.

Like physical checks, as well as those dedicated to the game, we find the four relating to the operating system that uses: Android. They are physical controls and well made. Least we like the volume control, hidden on one side and very difficult to reach when we are playing.

xperia-play-pad.jpg

Special mention goes to the speakers, which far outweigh and smoothly (is not very difficult), quality media that can be found even in the best phones on the market without musical aspirations.

Throughout the interior and so well implemented gameplay however collides with the exterior finish, especially in the cover of the phone. The used bright plastic doesn't seem at all worthy of a high-end terminal and which has demonstrated both its interior. It is weak, with sense of breaking little that we get wrong with the system of opening of the back cover (need not be so difficult or case devise a simpler than the brute force system) and to look at it can only think in the well that had been a housing with a metallic finish.

xperia-play-acabado.jpg

What we do really like is that both the SIM card slot and the microSD accessible without removing the battery. Minipunto for Sony Ericsson.

Think of a mobile phone called to replace a handheld console cannot bring us to the head nothing more than a word: power. So one would expect that Sony Ericsson would have put everything what was already on the market in terms of components available to your xperia play. But it has not happened.

Mind you, we are not saying that when we play we will need more power, because in our tests the Xperia Play has shown that it has sufficient packaging, but that we would have liked to think in this Play as a phone of the most powerful of the market for what might come.

xperia-play-consola.jpg

In the interior of this phone are a MSM8255 Snapdragon processor 1 GHz with the graphic system Adreno 205. They are data from 2010, and if we add that the RAM is Only 400 MB, surely you understand what I am talking about. I repeat that we have not missed in lack power when we played, but it is logical to think what the consumer you would ask for more on the paper to cover their backs with regard to future requirements. In the game not to spare specifications precisely.

On paper, the 1,500 mAh of capacity of the battery of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play are very welcome. But now we bring you that they have found us scarce.

When not we abuse the game, in other words, just "we miss some Fifas" for less than an hour a day, with 3 G enabled connectivity, use in house of WiFi connectivity, management of e-mail, web browsing, a few calls and some musicthe xperia play can hold from the morning until we got home at night. At that time we will have to connect it inevitably to food. In my case it is not a problem but you need to know in advance the stamina.

parte-trasera-xperia-play.jpg

And why this happens if the battery has a good capacity? Well, as we shall see when try the theme of the screen and the operating system, both the customization that makes Sony Ericsson's Android with many longing in the aspect of social networks, such as automatic control of brightness that is forced and not adjustable by usWe believe that they are to blame. We reduced the active social services on the phone and noticed some improvement, but nothing do us change their minds that a day is out of use with this phone. So forget about take it holiday to take pictures when you've been all day with him.

It will continue to...

Motorola has three Smartphones Android in the oven

Mobile avatar Kote on March 15, 2011 | 15: 01 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

Motorola Targa

Motorola is pure productivity since Android came to his life, if not we have recovered two phones more important and powerful of the past fairs, Motorola Droid Bionic and Atrix 4 G, they already have three others in the line of departure.

Two of the Smartphones will come to replace phones on the market, such as the Motorola Droid 2 and the X Droid, which unfortunately are taking to reach our country. The third appears to be a completely new terminal which goes by the name of Targa.

The renewal of the phones will come more or less a year of its existence, in summer, and has all the earmarks that the names of Motorola Droid 3 and Droid X 2, will be received to keep us in the range. The first will feature sliding QWERTY keyboard, to continue the habit.

Motorola Droid 3

While the second utilzará the new screens qHD (960 × 450 pixels) 4.3 inches, and dual-core processor, we bet on Nvidia Tegra 2. As I talk about it a few weeks ago, under the name in the key of Daytona.

If we're going to the mysterious Targa (first image), they tell us that her strong will be in 4 G connectivity, and in the presence of a Chamber of considerable dimensions, as you can see in the images. Refers to that module will be 13 megapixel.

On the motorola targa not miss the camera front for video calls, and output HDMI. In view of its possible photographic direction, some already will be crossing fingers that come with Xenon flash.

Motorola Droid X2

I have no doubt that all phones will come with Gingerbread as operating system. As phones seem to be related to American carriers, possibly know more about them at end of month, during the CTIA show that takes place between the days from 21 to 24 April.

Hardkernel Odroid-A

A Korean company unknown to the general public, Hardkernel, has partnered with Samsung to launch development teams based on the latest technology of the electronics giant. The first fruit of the relationship is an Android tablet as Hardkernel's Odroid-A.

The 10-inch tablet has a resolution than usual in leading models who have to put on the market, talk about 1366 × 768 pixels resolution. Motorola Xoom or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 are 1280 × 800 pixels. In the following video you can know it better:

The rear of the device is transparent, leaving see his powerful circuitry, composed no more and no less than by the dual-core of Samsung, 4210 Exynos. With cores based on ARM Cortex-A9 and Mali 400 GPU.

The same hardware which aired on the Smartphone of Korean Star: Samsung Galaxy SII. If we look at the benchmark Quadrant which go on to the tablet, we see that it exceeds the 2200 points, if we take into account that works with a lot more important than the Samsung Galaxy SII resolution, we can get an idea of that in the phone will be more:

The battery is 9000mAh, he has output HDMI, USB port, and 8 GB of memory internal expandable through two microSD card slots. Not all sensors have forgotten to use the Tablet business, as one of 9 axles, front and main Chamber, and a connectivity HSPA + 21Mbps movement.

By 759 dollars and will available in late March, be ready this valuable development tool, and we have to make it clear that it will not sell in the normal channels of distribution. With regards to Android, Hardkernel Odroid-A is served with Gingerbread, it initially seems a tool designed to take advantage of the SII Galaxy.

The appearance of this tablet of reference for the development, invites us to think that in addition to your phone Samsung star, have in mind taking tablets to take advantage of its new dual-core circuitry, formerly known as Orion. It also gives us clues of the resolutions to be able work with new phones and tablets without problems.

More Samsung Exynos 4210 devices use may be one of the causes which have to opt for Nvidia Tegra 2 for the Samsung Galaxy SII.
