New, Cheap Android Phones And Tablets Released

Posted on by

Two more budget Android devices have been released recently and they are the ideal ones for basic usage. One of them is a basic smartphone running Android, the Pantech “Marauder”, that is being released on Verizon and the other is a tablet that is released by Archos, runs ICS and is priced at only $250. However, it is in the league of the iPad, and not a 7” device like the Nexus 7.

The first device, the Pantech Marauder is going to be available on Verizon to both existing and new customers to smartphones and it appears to be a pretty good deal. the device is going to feature two user interface modes under a dual interface option, which features a standard mode and a starter mode. the starter mode is going to have limited home screens, 4 in number and the widgets are preset and are laid out in an uncluttered fashion. On the other hand, the standard mode is the default smartphone experience and is going to have several home screens and users have total freedom to customize it all, which is the way regular Android devices are. the Marauder is priced quite low at $49.99 at select retailers with a two year contract, but it is quite power packed with a 1.2GHz dual core processor and 1GB of RAM. moreover, it has 4G LTE connectivity making it a smartphone that can run quite a while into the future.

Coming to the tablet, the Archos 97 Carbon is an ICS tablet designed to compete with the iPad in terms of performance, design and price. It has a 9.7” screen, similar to the iPad and features a resolution of 1024×768, which is the iPad 2 screen resolution. On the inside, the tablet features 16GB of internal storage and 1GB of RAM. though the nature of the processor is unknown right now, it is likely to be a moderately powerful device. the tablet comes with a reasonable set of features such as a HDMI out port and a full size USB port to interface devices easily. Pricing is quite good at $250 and as an introductory offer, it is available for $230, which is quite a steal.

Cheaper Android phones and tablets are quite aplenty from lesser known manufacturers but they are yet to make a dent in the armor of Apple’s dominance in the tablet industry, which as a whole revolves around the iPad.  You can pre-order the Pantech Marauder for only $49.99.

Lenovo in negotiation to join the Windows Phone ...

Posted on by

The upcoming Windows Phone 8 has attracted significant attention from major OEMs, including Chinese PC & phone maker Lenovo. quite some time ago we saw pictures of Lenovo LePhone running Windows Phone 7. and apparently Lenovo is trying to formally get aboard with the arrival of Windows Phone 8.

According to WPDang, Lenovo recently has sent executives of its R&D division to Redmond, negotiating with Microsoft about the possibility of joining the Windows Phone gang.

WPDang also notes that Lenovo is trying to gain more freedom on the UI customization of Windows Phone OS. On the LePhone OS (modified Android), the company has invested heavily into UI design and its own app store. Natually it will want to keep as many achievements as possible. With Microsoft’s unified UI policy to date, we doubt if Lenovo could get anywhere with that plead. but well, we will see… Customized app store won’t be any problem though.

Meanwhile as the world’s leading PC maker, Lenovo has already produced several Windows 8 PC/tablet prototypes, including units based on the freshly introduced Windows RT (for ARM processors).

Dell Streak 7 Android tablet quietly disposed of

Posted on by

It looks like Dell’s on to a losing Streak — the PC manufacturer has stopped selling the Streak 7 tablet online in the US, saying that the 7-inch Android tablet is ‘no longer available’.

In a statement sent to Engadget, Dell says it, “remains committed to the mobility market and continues to sell products here and in other parts of the world.”

Dell adds, “The Streak 7 delivered a unique experience for customers who wanted a larger screen size yet the freedom of staying connected to their personal and professional content while on the go.”

The Streak 7 is still listed on Dell’s UK website, selling for £250, but the fact it’s been ditched in the States — and the fact that Dell’s statement refers to the device in the past tense — is an extremely ill omen for the diminutive Android tablet. we expect it will quietly fade away in the near future, much like the earlier 5-inch Streak, which is now listed as ‘unavailable‘ on Dell’s Blighty-based shop.

The Streak 7 hardly set our world on fire — when it launched it was running Android 2.2 Froyo, and while it’s since been updated to Honeycomb it doesn’t offer much to make it more appealing than the raft of rival Android tablets out there, or indeed Apple’s iPad 2.

We wouldn’t be surprised if Dell drops out of the Android race for now — the company is most successful when it comes to flogging Windows computers, so we might see more Dell tablet efforts once Windows 8 is ready.

Dell owns Alienware, so it could start making tablets geared towards gamers, something we’ve not really seen to date.

Were you a Streak fan? or will you be crying no tears over this latest casualty in the tablet war? Tell us in the comments, or on our Facebook wall.

BLOG: Record cable TV on your PC, easily

Want to turn your Windows 7-powered PC into a killer DVR, one that requires no monthly fees and has potentially limitless storage? Three new products will pipe your high-definition cable TV signals into your PC without even requiring you to open the computer's case.

Want to turn your Windows 7-powered PC into a killer DVR, one that requires no monthly fees and has potentially limitless storage? Three new products will pipe your high-definition cable TV signals into your PC without even requiring you to open the computer’s case.

When you use your PC to record shows, you’ll have a lot more freedom to do what you want with them. if you want to keep shows forever, you can. if you want to watch them on your phone or tablet, converting them is easy. and with (in most cases) a simple HDMI cable, you can watch them on your big-screen TV.

These three products–the Ceton InfiniTV 4 USB, Hauppauge WinTV-DCR-2650, and SiliconDust HDHomeRun Prime HDHR3-CC–each use a CableCard TV tuner from your cable provider. all are external, and all offer plug-and-play simplicity.

The Ceton and Hauppauge models require only a USB port, while the SiliconDust unit connects to your home router, allowing you to use it with more than one PC. They’re excellent products, one and all, able to supply two, three, or even four digital tuners for your multichannel viewing and recording pleasure. and all support SDV (Switched Digital Video), a bandwidth-saving technology that cable providers increasingly use (and require). each device will record digital, HD, and premium channels, but not on-demand or pay-per-view programming.

Before you buy, however, call your cable provider and make sure that the company can give you a multistream (aka M-Card) CableCard–the essential requirement for all of these adapters. I ran my tests with a Comcast-supplied M-Card, which worked beautifully with all three.

Likewise, check your PC’s specs. at a bare minimum, your system should have a dual-core processor, 3GB of RAM, and a DVI or HDMI connection to whatever display you wish to use. you also need a graphics card that supports HDCP copy-protected content. Fortunately, the Digital Cable Advisor tool found in Windows Media Center‘s Extras Gallery will tell you in advance if your system has sufficient horsepower for this amazing extension of your HDTV.
