Tablets:The pros and cons of giving you the all in one entertainment



Tablets these days are making a huge noise especially on the market. Everyone is desiring to have one,or atleast one, for so many reasons. Despite of the reasons it is indeed that these gadgets gives us entertainment. Wi-Fi, music, video, games, e-book reader, camera, and high performance processors, graphics card and memory. If two or three of these superb features are missing then it is well concluded that your tablet can be outrun by other tablets in a matter of time.

Now let me give you the pros and cons of these Tablets.

Pros:
1. Ease of communication. Aside from the texts and calls that the Tablets (just like the Samsung Tablets) can give there are also Wi-Fi that you can get and it makes you to connect easily on the internet and enables you to be online 24/7.

2. Very Handy. These things can be at your side anytime and anywhere especially when you are the type of person whose always on the go.

3. App Stores. I only know two companies who has their app stores on their tablets. The Apple for iPad  and Samsung for the Galaxy tab. It is very convenient to have an app store on your device because you don't have  to go on their local stores just to buy/download their games, music and other bi-products specified for your tab. It is like a virtual store right into your hands.

4. Entertainment. Yes. This thing can you save you from boredom. music, camera and especially games. I was surprised that even some of my hard core gamer friends are having fun and enjoying the games that they installed on their tabs. Even the games are just simple they are still an eye catcher on the gamers out there.

Cons:

1.Non Up-gradable. Unlike the desktop computers this one can not be upgraded anymore once it is released on the market. Maybe now your tablet will be the most powerful one but sooner or later other tablet will outrun your tablet, that goes the same on the other tablets.

2. Graphics Card. Some tablets have a great processor inside them but sometimes they lack on the graphics card. We must remember that this card has a good role in order for the tablet to be a hit on the market. I don't say that the company makers of tablet should acquire the same level of graphics card as the desktop and laptop computer but what I am trying to say is that if the tablet has a low graphics card there might be a tendency that the tablet will cause a late response time on the user.

3. Distraction. During our summer class (which is very boring and depriving) most of my classmates often bring their tablets with them. They almost pay attention on their tabs the whole time rather than paying attention to our professor. We can not blame those kind of people because all we wanted is to have fun but it is better to do it on the right place and on the right time.

4. All in one. Like I said it is almost an all in one device. You have an MP3 player, Digital Camera, Cellphone, and a Computer all inside on that tablet. The dilemma is that just in case you accidentally lost it (hope not) you also lost  an MP3 player, Digital Camera, Cellphone, and a Computer.

Tablets are great. Someway, Somehow and Someday this gadget will be more fantastic than the ones that we have today. But as of today if you are really sure on investing to this stuff  make sure to know the pros and cons of this gadget.

Mass Effect 3: Fall of Earth




Bioware released the new trailer for the new game on the Mass Effect series. The story revolves on the Reapers launched on their all out invasion on the galaxy leaving nothing but only destructed planets and the Earth will be their next target. You as Commander Shepard will lead the counter assault to take it back. The plan will be either you fight or you die. Death will the be price of failure to save not only the Earth but also the whole galaxy itself.




During the E3 conference they showed the gameplay of the Mass Effect 3 on Xbox 360 and they proudly announced that Mass Effect 3 can be played on the Xbox Kinect. This will level up the gaming experience of each Mass Effect fans. By the use of voice recognition the player will have the feeling that he/she is talking to the other characters of the game and by the use of the voice recognition the player can use it on setting up strategies on every fight. And their will also be new weapons such as the Omni Knife(don't know if I'm correct) for short range combat. And I believe that you can also incorporate your saved game on the Mass Effect 2 on the Mass Effect 3. The game will be released on the 3/9/2012.

Nike + GPS Application for Ipod touch

For the Ipod touch users there is a new way in order for you to use the Nike application without buying the sensor on the Nike Stores. Let me introduce to you the Nike + GPS. This application can be used without the help of the sensor attached on to your shoe. How? The calculations will be based on the  swings of your Ipod touch. So it is advisable for the user to put the Ipod touch on the pocket of your jogging pants in order to have an accurate calculation at the end of your daily run. I tried this application once and I can say that it is indeed very useful. The only problem with this application is that the GPS is not working because this application is originally created for the Iphone. Since the GPS of the Ipod touch and Iphone has a little bit difference then there is no way in order for you to use the map. On the brighter side if you always follow on the same route everyday then why do need the GPS to guide you?  But in general this application is great at the end of your run it will indicate to you the estimated amount of calorie that you burn, how long did you run and your average speed on the whole set.
You can even post it on your Facebook and Twitter accounts. Then there is the History page where you can see the results of your previous runs so you can determine if you are progressing or not. You can get this applications on Itunes and the current version available is 3.1 in order to get this your iOs version is iOs 4 or later. Grab it and have fun running.
