Top-notch e-reading experience. Interactive kids' books and magazines. Streaming video applications. Barnes & Noble NOOK angle Tablets are small tablets best to read books and magazines, but fell short with multimedia.
These tablets readers back. New Nook Tablet provides the best color e-reading experience available, especially for magazines and children's books'. This is better than Amazon's Kindle Fire ($ 199, 4 stars), our Editors' Choice for small tablets. But the angle does not quite match with the Fire on the music, videos or applications, and Nook Color ($ 199, 4 stars) offers the same great e-reading experience for less money. Make no mistake, Nook is a small tablet is very good, but hell give a better experience all-around tablets and Color Nook offers better value as a color e-reader.
Physical Design and User Interface
Feeling a little more 'book-like' Fire from the Amazon Kindle Fire , Tablet angle was significantly higher and slightly wider at 8.1 by 5.9 by 0.5 inches (HWD) thanks to a much larger panel, but mild in 14 , 1 ounce compared with 14.6 Amazon. There is a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, and the loop a little curious in the lower left corner, which serves as both a handle and a way to hide the MicroSD card slot reader, just like on Color Nook. Even Tablet Nook and Nook Color is almost identical except for the metal layers are slightly lighter-color. The tablet has a physical power button and volume control on side panel and one, "N"-shaped home button at the bottom of the 7-inch, 1024-by-600 touch screen.
Barnes & Noble NOOK has made a big deal out of how the IPS LCD screens are less reflective of the Amazon, but after using both screens for a long time to take some photos of each, I find I have to squint to tell the difference. It exists, but that does not mean pronounced enough to be a dealmaker. Both displays are much less readable in daylight rather than e-ink devices like the Touch screen on the Amazon Kindle Fire .
Nook tablets, such as the Amazon Kindle Fire , running a very highly customized version of Android 2.3 on TI OMAP4, 1GHz dual-core processors. But the point of the user interface does not look like Amazon (or, in this case, Android.)

3M Camcorder Projector
3M CP45R Generation II Projector Camcorder Can show images from composite video sources, internal 2 GB memory, or microSD card.
Although it can download images from computers to show them from internal memory, it can't show images directly from a computer
The 3M CP45R Generation Projector Camcorder has a built-in camcorder that can show images from external video sources or from memory, including video and photos it takes itself. 3M manufactures projectors rather than cameras, and the camcorder side has more in common with camera phones than full fledged camcorders, treating it as a projector makes more sense. As a projector, the CP45 has less in common with 3M's other pico projectors. if you want to use the CP45 for business is that you can still use it for presentations. One choice is to save the presentation as a set of JPG files and then move the files to the projector. You can move them on a microSD or microSDHC card or by connecting to a computer using the supplied USB cable, letting the computer recognize the CP45's memory as a USB drive, and then copying the files. You can also connect by USB cable to copy video and photo files from CP45 to your computer.
A second choice for Windows is to use the included customized version of ArcSoft MediaConverter 3 to covert PowerPoint slides into movies. Not so incidentally, MediaConverter can also convert most video file formats on your computer to a format the CP45 can play. Projector (and Camcorder) Basics
The CP45 offers SVGA (800 by 600) native resolution, and a red-green-blue LED light source rated at 20,000 hours and meant to last the life of the projector. By definition, as a pico projector, it's small and light enough to fit in a shirt pocket, at 0.95 by 2.0 by 4.9 inches (HWD) and just 7 ounces.
The physical design is suitably slick, with a shiny white case and your choice of a red or black highlight. The front is defined by the projector lens. The top includes a 2.4-inch LCD display that you can use as a monitor while taking photos and video and also use as a display for playback if you'd rather not use the projector. The control panel, for both the projector and camcorder functions, is below the LCD, and surprisingly easy to use. The right side includes a thumbwheel focus control, microSD card slot, and power switch. The camera lens and tripod socket are on the bottom. The USB port on the left side doubles as a power connector, letting you charge the unit while it's connected to your computer or plugged into a power outlet with the included power adaptor. The only other connectors are a mini HDMI port and a mini-plug jack.
Note that the HDMI port is for output only. The Camcorder takes videos at up to 720p (1280 by 720) resolution, which is well above the projector resolution. The HDMI port lets you connect to, say, an HDTV, so you can play back the image at full resolution. The single mini-plug is for both audio output and composite video input using the supplied cable with RCA phono connectors for video and stereo audio. Unfortunately, having one connector for both functions can be a problem. As with most pico projectors, the built-in audio offers far too little volume to be useful, so you'll usually want to use a headset or external sound system. With an external source already plugged into the AV jack, however, there's no place left to plug in, which means you'll have to bypass the projector's AV input and connect the sound system directly to the source.

iPod Touch 4G; Advantages and Disadvantages
Apple iPod touch has a very thin body. Supported with stunning features such as Retina Display, 720p video camera, camera Face Time, Apple A4 processor, 3-axis gyroscope. With these powerful features as Ipod Touch 4G iPhone 4 without the ability to call. You can buy an iPod Touch as an alternative to the iphone 4 that the price is quite expensive, the difference is only in its ability not to get to call.
Here are the Advantages and Disadvantages of having iPod touch 4G
Advantages iPod Touch 4G
- Applications are numerous, because the support of Apple's AppStore
Pretty good video recorder that is HD 720p
- Internet access capability is pretty good
- Retina Display is very sharp
- Supported Multitouch
- The screen is very responsive both to play the game or just to simply type
- Gaming is extraordinary, both from the graph, and gameplay
- 3-axis gyroscope and accelerometer for support when playing games
Disadvantages iPod Touch 4G
- Screen or screen is not as clear as the iPhone 4, when viewed from a narrow angle which would appear to be dim
- The images from the camera is not good
- Unable to transfer songs and videos from a PC without iTunes
- Does not support many formats to player

Best selling; Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0
Samsung Galaxy 5.0 Android MP3 Player
Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0
- Fast web browsing and navigation
- Good quality ear-buds
- Excellent screen size and good quality of image
- Good internal stereo speakers
- Ok microphone to record, but excellent for video chatting
- Useful notification bar (e-mail, updates, facebook, etc)
- MicroSD card slot, GPS, FM-radio
- Diverse and still expanding android market (app store)
- Good video streaming function (Netflix)
- Good quality rear camera with flash
- Good battery life
- No versatile sync software like the iTunes from Apple "yet".
The Galaxy Player was faster at web browsing, navigating throughout the device in general, etc.
Even the ear-buds that come with it are good quality. Better than Apple's. Deep bass and nice distribution on the trebles and mediums. I had just bought a Klipsch s4i which is a really wonderful pair of ear-buds, but not needed after I tested this samsung one.
The screen quality of the iPod touch is still superior due to the 960x640 pixel resolution, but the bigger size (5 inches) of the galaxy's screen makes it way more comfortable to your eyes (the quality is still really impressive though).
The galaxy's internal stereo speakers are not like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 inches' which are wonderful, but they beat the iPod's " mono speaker" without a doubt.
The iPod has an upper class quality microphone to record voice memos and videos. The galaxy's one is not the best, but they still pick up instruments' sounds pretty well. If you want to record a concert with your Galaxy player, you can do that with this 5 inches one.
The notification bar in the iPod touch with the new iOS 5 is pretty much not useful. It works better with an iPhone, but the galaxy player's notification bar works well just as if you had a mobile phone.
The super advantages of the galaxy player over the iPod is: - it has a microSD card slot (which you can expand up to 32GB). You can have all your videos, movies, music, and pictures in different microSD cards if you choose to. It is really easy to install in the device. - it has GPS built-in. It works really well with pre-loaded maps. - it has FM-Radio which works really well.
The touch screen of the Galaxy y is very responsible.

Special Review; HP Slate 500 (HP Slate 2)
HP Slate 2 / HP Slate 500
Hewlett-Packard may have dropped the underselling HP TouchPad like a hot rock, but its Windows tablet, the HP Slate 500 (now simply the HP Slate), stayed strong with healthy interest from business and vertical markets. This year, HP updates its Windows tablet with the HP Slate 2.
Like its predecessor, the HP Slate 2 will target the enterprise as well as markets like education, healthcare, and retail environments where freedom from a stationary desk is important. The Slate 2 has been updated with new processing hardware and expanded mobile connectivity.
The Slate 2 features an 8-inch screen with 1024-by-600 resolution, similar in size and shape to the one found on the previous model. The capacitive touch screen works with input from either fingers or a compatible stylus, and is multitouch capable. Ditching Windows' awkward on-screen keyboard, the Slate 2 uses the same Swype technology seen in other touch devices, like smartphones and Android tablets, letting you enter text and data with a single gliding motion, entering multiple letters without lifting your finger or stylus. The optional stylus can also be used to write on screen, utilizing Windows' hand-writing recognition or in conjunction with Evernote.
The Slate 2 measures 0.61 by 9.21 by 5.9 inches (HWD), and weighs 1.5 pounds. The dimensions may be similar to the previous Slate, but the appearance is quite different. Instead of the distinctive textured triangle pattern found on the back of the previous Slate, the Slate 2 has a smooth back with a semi-matte finish. On the back you'll also see the rear-facing 3-megapixel camera. On the front is a simple VGA Web camera set into the bezel.
The Slate 2 also benefits from new hardware, with a single-core 1.5-GHz Intel Atom Z670 processor, the same processor found in the Motion Computing CL900 and the Fujitsu Stylistic Q550. Designed specifically for tablets, the Atom Z670 is ideal for small spaces, like the chassis of a slim handheld tablet, and tailor-made to run the 32-bit version of Windows 7. The HP Slate 2 comes standard with the 32-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium, but Windows 7 Embedded is also available.
The Slate 2 will also be packing a number of business-friendly features to make it easy to integrate into an existing IT structure. The Slate 2 supports corporate images, and includes a number of security options, such as a TPM embedded security chip, HP Protect Tools, and Computrace Pro. Also, in a step up from the previous HP Slate , the Slate 2 will also be available with Gobi 3000 mobile broadband and HP Connection Manager, providing on-the-go connectivity in addition to 802.11n Wi-Fi. A Bluetooth 4.0 connection lets you wirelessly pair with peripherals like headsets, keyboards, and printers.
On the left edge of the tablet (when held in landscape orientation) you'll find an SD card slot, a button to toggle the on-screen keyboard, and a built-in microphone. On the right you've got a sliding power switch and a headset jack. On the top edge you'll find volume controls, a USB 2.0 port, a home button, and another button to toggle through open windows. On the bottom edge of the tablet is a dock connector that doubles as the power input.
The HP Slate 2 is equipped with an internal 2-cell 30Wh polymer battery, which HP claims will provide six hours of run-time on a single charge. Like any performance claim, we'll refrain from commenting until we've had a chance to test it in our labs.
Accessories available for the Slate 2 include a leather folio case with Bluetooth keyboard, a dock and stylus, and a case. The leather case features a compact Bluetooth chiclet keyboard, which should provide much of the desktop functionality that is so often missed when working with Windows on a tablet. This adjustable case can also be used to prop up the Slate 2 into something akin to traditional desktop or notebook, with the screen on edge, like a monitor. Another case, which we didn't get a chance to see, is made for retailers, and includes an integrated magnetic stripe reader and barcode scanner.
The HP Slate 2 starts at $699, and is expected to be available later this month.

Kindle Keyboard 3G
Review By Jeffrey Stanley (Wichita, KS United States)
The Kindle is my first e-ink reader. I own an iPad, an iPhone, and have owned a Windows-based phone in the past that I used as an ereader.
My overall impression of the device is good.
I'd honestly rather read linear (read from page one to the end, one page at a time) fiction from it than a book, because I can't always get comfortable with a book. Hardcovers are sometimes a bit heavy, and paperbacks don't always lie open easily.
The Kindle is incredibly light and thin. I can hold it in one hand easily. The page turn buttons are conveniently located. Page-turns aren't instant, but they're probably quicker than turning a physical page in a printed book (there are just a lot more page-turns unless you choose a small font).
The contrast is better than other ereaders I've seen. There is zero eye strain in good light. My eyesight isn't the greatest and I like being able to increase the font size and read without glasses. I love being able to browse the Kindle store and read samples before deciding to purchase.
The "experimental" browser is surprisingly usable, but isn't great. It is useful for browsing wikipedia and blogs. The biggest drawback to the browser is the awkward pointer navigation, using the 5-way pad. It syncs your furthest read page over the internet so you can pick up where you left off using your iPhone or iPad.

General Riview from PCmag
Barnes & Noble announced its new Nook Tablet Monday and although it is a dead-ringer for last year's Nook Color, the combination of hardware and software enhancements will instantly make it one of the most impressive Android tablets on the market when it's released on Nov. 17.
After this morning's announcement, I was able to get some hands-on time with the device. The Nook Tablet is a speedy, well-designed tablet that could match up well against Amazon's Kindle Fire, set to be released on Nov. 15. I will need to see the two tablets side-by-side to make a real judgment, but I spent enough time with the new Barnes & Noble tablet to form some impressions.
If you judge this Nook by its cover, you'll have a tough time distinguishing it from the currently available NOOK Colorr. The Nook Tablet's aluminum shell and the addition of an almost-invisible microphone are the only physical cues that this is a different device than the earlier ereader. It is a tad lighter, at 14.1 ounces, but even that is hard to detect.
Although this similarity in appearance is a little odd, the Nook Color's design is actually pretty elegant—and at least this way all the cases built for the Nook Color will fit the Tablet as well. Since the Nook Color is often rooted by users to run Google Android apps and function as a tablet, maybe it's not so surprising that Barnes & Noble decided to base its first official tablet on the design of a device many are turning into a de facto tablet.
As with the NOOK Color, you can navigate the interface by tapping through menus and dragging icons, like apps and magazine covers, around the screen. The Nook button always brings up the home menu, but you can almost always get to your apps, your media, or your books with just a few taps. It is more user-friendly than stock Android, but of course you'll give up some flexibility there as well.
Review from User
I've read e-books on just about every device out there, while looking for the perfect mix of features to support them. I've gone from an ancient Palm III to all the Kindles and other readers that are out there. First, I must say my favorite way to read a book is via the treeware version - you just can't replace books. What you can do though is supplement them with a device that adds something to the experience that makes a device worth buying. For me, my new perfect device is the NookColor.
