New iPad vs Samsung Galaxy Tab

GADGET REVIEW - After months of anticipation and expectations, the New iPad from Apple has finally been announced. The device will hit the shelves March 16 and will be priced from $499-$829, which is similar to the previous iPad 2.


It will also offer a high speed 4G LTE network connection in territories with 4G in the U.S., and will be available on both the AT&T and Verizon wireless networks. However, Apple will still know that it is bound to face a tough competition against the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v.

Let's have a look at the specifications of both the devices.

Display: The new 9.7-inch New iPad has arrived with an LED-backlit IPS TFT, capacitive touchscreen with 1536 x 2048 pixels and 264 ppi pixel density. This means as much as 44 percent greater color saturation with an amazing 3.1 million pixels. Astoundingly, that's four times the number of pixels in iPad 2 and about a million more than an HDTV. The new tablet from the Cupertino-based company boasts a scratch resistant glass and an improved oleophobic coating.

The Samsung-made 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab 10.1v, on the other hand, has a TFT capacitive Touchscreen with 800 x 1280 pixels and 149 ppi pixel density.

Body Dimensions: The New iPad has dimensions of 241.2 x 185.7 x 9.4 mm and weighs about 662 grams, in comparison with Samsung Tab 10.1v's dimensions of 246.2 x 170.4 x 10.9 mm and a weight of around 589 grams.

Operating System: It is yet to be seen if the new tablets will receive updates from Apple after the new iOS version, iOS 5.1, is released. An IPSW version of iOS 5.1 is already out via Jailbreak.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1V, on the other hand, runs on Android 3.0 or Honeycomb juice. Although it was previously rumored that the device would get an Android 4.0 or Ice Cream Sandwich update in the future, nothing has been officially reveled.

Camera: When the camera specifications of both the devices are compared, it is heavily debated if the Samsung tablet has an upper hand over the New iPad.

The New iPad has arrived with a primary 5 megapixel, 2592 x 1944 pixels, autofocus rear-facing camera with iSight and CMOS sensor setup, and features such as Touch focus, geo-tagging, HDR, face detection and more with video capabilities of 1080p at 30fps and video stabilization. A front-facing secondary VGA camera is also available.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v has a primary 8 megapixel, 3264x2448 pixels, autofocus, LED flash rear camera with geo-tagging and video capabilities of 1080p at 30fps. An additional front-facing 2 megapixel camera is also available.

Processor: Apple had earlier promised that the next iPad would be much faster than its predecessors, and has now presented the world with a dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and Apple A5X chipset. A PowerVR SGX543MP4 GPU has been further added to provide an additional boost. Although it was widely discussed and expected that Apple would come out with an A6 chipset, an A5X chipset has been delivered in the end.

The Samsung-made device is powered by a dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 processor, Nvidia Tegra 2 T20 chipset and ULP GeForce GPU which is fast compared to most of the tablets in the market at the moment.

WLAN and Bluetooth: The New iPad's WLAN features include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n with HSDPA, 21 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps, LTE, 73 Mbps; Rev. A, up to 3.1 Mbps speed. Bluetooth version 4.0 has been provided with A2DP and EDR. The Galaxy Tab 10.1V, in comparison, also comes with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Wi-Fi hotspot. The device offers Bluetooth version 2.1 with A2DP and EDR and HSDPA, 21 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps speeds.

Memory: Whereas the New iPad has arrived in avatars of 16, 32 and 64 GB internal storage memory, the Galaxy Tab offers only 16 and 32 GB. External storage option is missing from both the devices which could prove to be a major blow in the upcoming months.

Battery Capacity: The New iPad has arrived with a standard Li-Po 42.5 Wh (Watt-Hour) providing Stand-by up to 720 hours and talk time up to 10 hours. Galaxy Tab 10.1v has a standard 6860 Li-Po battery which provides a massive stand-by of up to 1810 hours and talk time up to 10 hours.

Samsung Galaxy S II Siap Diluncurkan

Samsung Galaxy S II Siap Diluncurkan : Harganya sendiri belum terungkap. Namun sebuah situs di Inggris sudah memasang banderol sekitar USD 880 atau Rp 7,6 juta. Cukup mahal memang jika harga ini benar...

 

Jika Anda menggandrungi ponsel berbasis Google Andoid, ada selentingan kabar baik. Samsung, salah satu raksasa vendor asal Korea Selatan yang agresif merilis ponsel Android, mengumumkan akan menghadirkan anggota baru Samsung Galaxy S.

Samsung Galaxy S II terindikasi akan ditingkatkan performa prosesornya, menjadi 1,2 GHz dual core. Semula perubahan ini dinyatakan membuat peluncuran Galaxy S II tertunda, namun Samsung mengkonfirmasi jadwal rilis tidak berubah.

Sejumlah sumber, termasuk halaman Facebook resmi Samsung wilayah Estonia, mengkonfirmasi upgrade prosesor di Galaxy S II dari rencana awal yang 'cuma' 1 GHz dual core. Sedangkan sumber dari media terkemuka, GSMArena, juga menyatakan kebenaran berita tersebut.

Kabarnya, perbaikan prosesor ini membutuhkan waktu sehingga Galaxy S II tidak akan diluncurkan sebelum bulan Juni. Namun Samsung mengklarifikasi bahwa ponsel berbasis Android Gingerbread tersebut tetap dipasarkan sesuai jadwal, yakni mulai akhir April atau awal Mei ini. "Samsung Galaxy S II pertama kali akan meluncur bulan April, sesuai rencana. Handset ini akan berangsur-angsur menghampiri setiap pasar menurut jadwal peluncuran lokal," demikian tertulis di akun Twitter SamsungTomorrow, diberitakan eWeek.

Hanya saja tidak disebut di mana saja Galaxy S II akan meluncur pertama kali, mungkin baru terbatas di beberapa negara. Ponsel cerdas ini bakal jadi handset andalan Samsung melawan kompetitor beratnya, semisal LG Optimus 2X yang juga mengusung prosesor dual core.

Harganya sendiri belum terungkap. Namun sebuah situs di Inggris sudah memasang banderol sekitar USD 880 atau Rp 7,6 juta. Cukup mahal memang jika harga ini benar.

Smartphone ini berukuran sangat langsing, bahkan diklaim tertipis di dunia. Ketebalannya cuma 8,49 milimeter dan berat hanya 4,09 ons.

Sama seperti Google Nexus S yang juga mereka produksi, Galaxy S II diperlengkapi dengan fitur NFC alias Near Field Communication. Fasilitas ini memungkinkan transaksi pembayaran dilakukan via ponsel.

Samsung Tic Toc review

Samsung TicToc review... Fortunately for Samsung, the Tic Toc is actually a pretty handy little MP3 player. Chunkier and more rounded than the iPod Shuffle and Archos Clipper, it’s nonetheless a smart piece of kit. The egg cup-shaped dock is neat and means the Tic Toc doesn’t....

Decent performance, clearly aimed at the young female market.

The budget end of the MP3 player market has become more crowded than a Tube platform at rush hour in recent years. Not content to leave Archos, Apple and co to it, Samsung has rocked up with the Tic Toc, a screen-free music player that’s billed by the Korean tech titan as being, “…for young women who want the latest fashion gadgets.”

Whether the “Hello Kitty” model we reviewed counts as being fashionable is questionable. Tacky paint jobs and garish colours should not be a byword for marketing MP3 players to women. A gadget should stand and fall on its usability and build, everything else is irrelevant, although the early teen users this is aimed at will probably love it.

Fortunately for Samsung, the Tic Toc is actually a pretty handy little MP3 player. Chunkier and more rounded than the iPod Shuffle and Archos Clipper, it’s nonetheless a smart piece of kit. The egg cup-shaped dock is neat and means the Tic Toc doesn’t simply hang out of the side of your PC in unsightly fashion.

It’s also loaded with a set of great playback functions. By shaking the Tic Toc three times, you can skip through different modes to match your mood. There’s normal, which plays back tunes in order, shuffle and then fast and slow modes. The latter pair are the Tic Toc’s real calling card. Shaking it to fast was great when we took it out for a workout and kept us pushing on as we started to flag.

The headphones are surprisingly sharp for an MP3 player which comes in at around £30. Sound is relatively rich and offers decent detail, especially when compared to those bundled with the Tic Toc’s Apple and Archos competitors. The 4GB of storage is more than ample and seeing as it costs about £10 less than the 2GB iPod Shuffle, it’s not a bad option for those after an MP3 player to take down the gym.

 While MP3, WMA, AAC, Ogg and FLAC are all supported, although Ogg and FLAC lovers will want a more capacious effort than this. The PC software isn't very good though but you get Mac support.

For the young female market the TicToc is clearly aimed at it works well, but otherwise if you’re in the market for a cheap MP3 player, Archos and Apple offer better alternatives.
