Top Selling Mobile Devices and Tablet 2012

Posted onAuthorTruXter

This day and age, we are seeing lots of companies talk about how everyone is moving to high end mobile devices. Devices they are talking are items like portable tablets, large screen phones and ebook readers.
We are seeing statistics saying that millions of people are now using either an ipad a nook or any of the hundreds of android tablets to do all of the common computing of today.

According to Huffington post The Top selling Tablets are as listed

Apple Inc., maker of the iPad, 17 million shipped worldwide, 69.6 percent share

Samsung Electronics Co., maker of Galaxy line, 2.3 million, 9.2 percent.

Amazon.com Inc., maker of Kindle Fire, 1 million, 4.2 percent

AsusTek Computer Inc., maker of Transformer line, 688,000, 2.8 percent

Barnes & Noble Inc., maker of Nook Tablet, 459,000, 1.9 percent

Meanwhile the top 12 mobile Devices are (according to Tech Spot)

Apple iPad
(3rd gen)
Asus Transformer Prime
Toshiba Excite 10 LE
Amazon Kindle Fire
Samsung Galaxy 10.1
Sony Tablet S
Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9
Apple iPad 2
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
Asus Transformer
Infinity 700
Asus PadFone

This one may be more correct . I say this due to the traffic I see on my site.

I find it sad that the blackberry Playbook didn’t do so well. It’s a beautifully designed tablet. From plastic outerware, to inner hardware to operating system. The playbook had high potential. but of course Blackberry being the strong hold of quality may have held too high of a price while there are so many other options of Tablets and Hybrid Laptops.

I myself will aim for budget, then aim for processing power. Then design. In that exact order. I can’t see myself shopping for high price and assuming that means the electronic equipment will meet my needs.
Good luck in shopping.

GTA Vice City On Android and Iphone

Posted onAuthorTruXter

In celebration of ten years since the release of Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Rockstar games is releasing multiple items for sale in relation to vice city. One of course being the Vice City Game app for Iphone,Ipod,Ipad android devices such as android..
Vice City is the one game that everyone loved to play back in it’s release. In fact, at one time, the gang from MTAVC.COM Modded GTA VC to be a multiplayer video game, when it originally was not. The question I have to ask is, if you take the installer multiplayer modded files, and dragged them into your mobile device, can you get on the multiplayer servers and play MTAVCMobile??

Good question, is ” Will Rockstar games make another funny game like this one? Vice City was the more Humorous of the three games in that set (GTAIII GTAVC and GTASA).
Let’s hope that by the sells numbers from this cell phone app, Rockstar games sees what element in this one, makes it so great

Well none the less. Here’s a quote on Rockstar’s website

To celebrate the 10th anniversary, there will be a series of commemorative assets released, including never-before-seen artwork and a brand new anniversary trailer highlighting some of the most iconic scenes and music from the game. In addition, a limited run of collectable promotional items will be made available for purchase through the Rockstar Warehouse, with select items also available via online giveaways.

In conjunction with the anniversary, we’re pleased to announce that we’ll be releasing an Anniversary Edition of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for select iOS and Android devices later this fall. This upcoming version will bring the full experience to mobile devices, featuring native high-resolution graphics and several enhancements unique to the iOS and Android platforms. Stay tuned for more details in the weeks ahead including a list of compatible iOS and Android devices.

Also, since Rockstar Games never did a San Andreas Stories, can we go ahead and assume there will me no GTA San Andreas for mobile?

Mobile Device Internet

Posted onAuthorTruXter

We find ourselves laying in bed late at night on our mobile devices, our cell phones our whatever pads, squinting at our tiny screens telling ourselves this is okay.
I have to say. This is not okay. Do you have any idea what we are doing to our eyes? Have you noticed that more and more people are having migraines lately?
I notice. I notice that my eyesight is getting worse and worse. If I don’t use my cell phone to surf the web for a short while, my eyes feel better.
Meanwhile the websites look junkier and simpler like it’s 1996 all over again. Text with a white background. Built simple so the mobile versions of good websites, load faster on your cell phone or android pad or iphone or ipad. Yet we are paying ungodly amounts for this “fast mobile internet”.

What do we do with this convenient service and device? We check our email, and we check our facebook status. That’s it.
What’s on your facebook page? a bunch of motivational picture that everyone is sharing and saying “Oh, that’s so me”.

There just doesn’t seem to be enough value in this.

Facebook Down?

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Everyone keeps asking “Facebook Down?”.
Well the answer is yes and no.

No Facebook is not getting hacked. Yes Facebook is running slow.
Simple reason. New changes. New additions to layouts coming and the bing merger. Looks like it is taking a bit longer and a lot more bandwidth to crawl all of us to save our information in Bing’s search.
So this is showing issue with hitting the submit to Facebook button on youtube, random news sites and friend’s sites and smart phone android/iphone/ipad apps.

go back to staring at your phone wondering why some facebooks just won’t connect.

Blackberry Tablet – see it

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Blackberry® tablet looks like probably the finest tablet available. Screen area looks crap, but when you hold a good Blackberry, there is a certain feel. This tablet looks like it will have the Blackberry full feel.

They call this tablet “BlackBerry Playbook”. Stupid name, but hey.. Everyone buys the Wii. So Could be the market they are headed for.

Downside is this will and as all other Blackberry devices get compared to the Ipad and Ipod. Even if it is’t made to compete wit hthe ipad and is made to only be a useful device.
I should be getting my hands on this pretty quick.

Black Berry Tablet

Looks like Playbook plays games.

Here is the official page for the Playbook.

Specs Say

O/S

  • Powerful, user-friendly QNX technology – it’s what the World Wide Web runs on
  • On-screen keyboard
  • True multi-tasking

what the heck is with that black bar all the way around the edge? Does blackberry actually think that is a good signature? The device can be smaller if they thin that dang bar or screen could be larger on the Backberry Playbook.

Android Tablet Rumors

Posted onAuthorTech News

It seems as if people want Android to compete with Apple Ipad Tablet. As if there is this big battle waiting to happen. The problem is, the Ipad is a useless accessory that serves no other purpose than to do and be what Apple wants. That is, for the future to be planned and predetermined. Google makes their hardware and software with rules and laws protecting them to say ” this is what we are selling, this is what you can do with it. It is a Horse bit and Blinders future if you let the product manufacturers tell you what is good, as apposed to produce what you request.
There is no use in that tablet, otherwise people would have bought the many Microsoft tablets through the years. It’s not a question of quality, it’s a question of convenience and capabilities. If it is an E-book reader with app abilities Neat, so is a $200 laptop. I mean if sun glare is not a problem to you, Otherwise a Kendal migt be the better, lighter and cheaper rout.

You must always have the option of a mouse and keyboard. You should not force people to have only one interface option.

My only hope is everyone who makes gadgets, just ignores the Ipad and moves on in computer and telephone direction. That would prevent us from being forced into a touch screen only type of interface. That junk would get old fast. I would hate to write to the Tech News site on a touch screen. After about an hour, my finger tips would get sore. Imagen if it was your job. I actually freak out when people touch my monitor. Imagen if all we had was touchscreen. I would be forced to sit in teh corner chewing on the collar of my shirt staring off into space mumbling “amonia glass cleaners and key action, We used to be able to do what was called ‘over clocking’ and we could tweak our machines and linux was a real, it’s not a myth, it’s not a myth”.
Hopefully we get an Android system that competes with the Ipad, but is nothing like the Ipad at all. That would be our best hope and safest bet.
