Tape Recorder From The Future

We’ve heard of tablets with keyboard docks: Asus Transfomer TF300 and laptops with hinges enabling the use of a tablet: Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga. But ever wonder if all three devices can be put into one? The Asus PadFone demonstrates this very well, and it looks a lot like a futuristic tape recorder too. The smartphone (PadFone) can be inserted into the back of the tablet (PadFone Station) like a tape into a tape recorder and like the TF300, there will be a keyboard dock for the tablet. It has also been confirmed that there will be contract prices from phone carriers. The smartphone itself will be priced at $610 US, the smartphone, tablet and bluetooth stylus which doubles as a headset will value $850 US, and the whole package including the keyboard dock will cost a total of $980 US.

A Whole New Meaning of Flexibility

If you’ve read my other review on the Asus Transformer Pad TF300 then you’re in for a bit of surprise. Instead of a tablet with a keyboard dock add-on making it a netbook, we now have the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga, which is an ultrabook that is able to bend back into a tablet. With a 360 degree dual-hinge flip and fold design, the Yoga will be available in the second half of 2012 with an estimated starting retail price of $1,199. Mentioned at CES 2012, the Yoga will have 4 modes enabled by the hinges. With no specified names for these positional stands, the modes are standard laptop, convertible tablet, stand, and tent.

Ever Wonder What It Would Be Like to Own a Unicorn?

Ultimately, buying a One X is like getting a unicorn — its wild, fast, white, beautiful, expensive and fickle.”

                                                                                — Engadget

The iPhone 4S by Apple now has some competition, the HTC One X. Coming in both black or white, the One X weighs 130 g (with battery) and is 134.4 (H) x 69.9 (W) x 8.9 mm (D). Being one of the first quad-core HTC phone, it comes with a 1.5 GHz quad-core NvidiaTegra 3 CPU (or 1.5 Ghz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4) chip, 1 GB RAM and a Nvidia ULP GeForce GPU. The One X will be released in North America on May 6th, 2012 which is very near and anticipating. Like many of today’s smartphones the One X will be running on Android 4.0 mobile operating system with HTC Sense 4.0 GUI.

Review: Osmos (Android)

Heard of Hemisphere Games’ Osmos? It’s been available for several platforms since 2009, but just recently released for Android. The premise may sound rather familiar: Float around eating things that are smaller than you, causing you to grow larger and therefore capable of eating more things. It’s certainly a gameplay style most of us have seen before in games like Flow, but Osmos has a few distinguishing features that make it stand out as one of the best games currently available on the Android OS.
