xbox surface tablet will released image | new gadgets, upcoming phone, gadget update | Gadget Pirate

Not tired with Surface tablet and Surface Smartphone, Microsoft made a new surprise. Microsoft will release a tablet that can serve as a games device. They call it Xbox Surface tablet. Is the Xbox Surface tablet will use the same platform with the first Surface tablet that adopt Windows 8 RT? That question seems unclear, because of the existing leaks, Microsoft has not made ​​a formal statement about what platform that will be brought to Xbox Surface.

The rumors about the existence of Xbox Surface tablet have known from the beginning of June. But after the release of Windows 8, Microsoft dared a little to reveal the tablet ​​specifically made for the gaming. Xbox Surface Tablet spec that has spread explain that it will use 7 inch screen size.

The Reasons Microsoft Not Releasing 16GB Surface Tablet Revealed

16GB microsoft surface tablet windows 8 RT no release image | new gadgets, upcoming phone, gadget update | Gadget Pirate
Microsoft Surface Tablet

Many people regretting Microsoft attitude for not releasing the 16GB Surface tablet. Whereas the consumers expect this upcoming gadget will come with a cheaper price. Now, we will know the reason behind no release of 16GB version Surface tablet.

Quoted from PhoneArena, the tablet from Microsoft that using Windows 8 RT, the Surface Tablet was released in 32 and 64GB versions only. It's because the 32GB Surface tablet only provides internal memory allocation that can be used for just 16GB.

Of course, many consumers were simply fooled by looking at the version of the internal memory. Which means the size of the internal memory shown is the memory capacity we could use to store our personal files. And even it's reduced for the OS allocation, it will not be so great as on Android tablets and the iPad.

But that was a wrong preception and is not applicable for the Surface tablet that adopted Windows 8 RT. For the Surface tablet that has 32GB internal memory, it can be said that it's not complete 32GB, due to the decimal system of 32GB was basically only 29.7GB. Why? The decimal system in Windows 8 RT is only displayed every 1GB became 0.93GB. If the result is 29.7GB for the 32GB version, then the 64GB Surface tablet real internal memory was just about 59.5GB.

16GB microsoft surface tablet windows 8 RT no release image | new gadgets, upcoming phone, gadget update | Gadget Pirate

Not quite up there, that 29.7GB will also reduced by the existing System Recovery in Windows 8 RT at least for 5GB. Then for the OS, Windows 8 RT and the other default applications like Office, etc. takes an internal memory of 8GB.

Thus it can be seen that the 32GB Surface tablets internal memory that can be used by the user is just 16GB. And it's impossible for Microsoft releasing the 16GB Surface if the internal memory will be washed-up following the Windows 8 RT pattern.

Nokia Lumia 920, one of Windows 8 Phone
Once again, Microsoft states their belief about Windows Phone 8 and the smartphones that adopt it. Through Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer with optimistic,  outspoken that the Windows 8 Smartphone sales will be higher. As a layman who can't predict the success or the failure of Windows Phone 8, it's perfectly natural if we judge Microsoft is promoting and confident when talking about their own products and being flaunted.
However, when we view it objectively, a statement from Steve Ballmer was very reasonable considering Microsoft in the last 1 year was learned from their less successful smartphone sales, Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 7.5. In addition, Microsoft also continues to make innovations, improvements and continue to develop the newest version of Windows Phone called Windows Phone 8 to be different and more acceptable to consumers.

And the most important thing is how to make the ecosystem in Windows Phone 8 is better and can cover all the needs of its users, especially about the availability of applications. That way, it could be Windows Phone will be the alternatives that's worth mentioning other than android and iOS that have been the most preferred by consumer.

At last, Microsoft mobilize their financial resources to promote Windows Phone 8. As we know, Microsoft poured a lot of money to promote Windows 8, but also the Windows 8 RT tablet and of course Windows Phone 8 for the smartphone as well.

Toshiba Camileo S20 Camcorder
Besides well-known in terms of notebooks and electronic hardware, toshiba also plunged in the world of digital camera gadgets. Apparently, Toshiba has a Flash-based camcorder that offers the ability to record Full HD (1920 × 1080 pixels), that is the Camileo S20. The design and the function of the Toshiba Camileo S20 camcorder makes it similar to the kind of Kodak, Panasonic, and Sanyo. A camcorder with 3 ˝ folding LCD screen does look very practical and slim (only 1.7 cm thick), it is also very light weight (118gr). Armed with one hand navigation system is also very easy because almost all of the access key is placed on the back that's easy accessible through your thumb. But, choosing between camera and camcorder function on the side feels like less ergonomic, except when using both hands.

For the objects records(video), they offered a choice with a resolution of 320 × 240 pixels (QVGA) up to 1920 × 1080 pixels (Full HD). For photos provided capture from 3MP, 5MP, up to 16MP (interpolation). Because it is designed for practical use, the Toshiba Camileo S20 is  having a problems with a minimal camera functions, such as the digital zoom that only (4x) and F/3.2 aperture only(fixed).

As far we try, photos and video footage that have been produced is tolerable for an affordable camcorder class. Full HD video resolution can indeed be generated, but more felt good video quality at 848 x 480 pixels (WVGA) at 60fps. No wonder, it seems that the video system stabilization is only active for 720p resolution option down. It also has the function to record video PreRec that early. This button also serves to directly upload to YouTube when connected to a computer.

Estimated price for this camcorder is around $99. After you purchase this digital camcorder, you should get many fittings such as video 3.5 mm audio cable, miniUSB cable, mini-HDMI cable, protective holster, manual, and charger for sure.

Review and Spesifications Samsung Galaxy Tab Android


The success of Apple’s iPad spawned plenty of me too entrants into the consumer tablet sphere. But the trail of vaporware that followed showed that matching the iPad’s success is easier said than done.

With the release of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Android lovers finally have a solid alternative to Steve Jobs’ self-professed magical and revolutionary device. How does the first serious iPad competitor stack up? Here’s a look at the Verizon version of Samsung’s 7-inch Galaxy Tab.


PLUS :

Solid Build: 
The Galaxy Tab is put together very well and doesn’t feel cheap. The screen also sports tough Gorilla Glass, which is always a nice plus. The Galaxy’s TFT-LCD display actually features more dots per inch than the first-generation iPad. It isn’t the Super AMOLED screen many were hoping for, but it does hold up better under direct sunlight than my Galaxy S smartphone’s Super AMOLED display.

Nicely Portable: 
As someone who values extra screen real estate in my portable devices, I was surprised that I ended up liking the Tab’s smaller form factor more than I thought I would. The 7-inch widescreen is dwarfed by the iPad’s larger screen. But it’s big enough for comfortable browsing and is a lot easier to lug around than an iPad. The fact that it fits entirely within your palms makes screen operation a lot easier and doesn’t strain your arms as much after extended use.

Speedy Performance: 
Once it’s fully up and running, the device is pretty zippy and responsive. The ability to multi-task with third-party apps like Facebook is another nice plus. The Tab also doesn’t get as warm as other portable devices after extended video viewing and other more resource-heavy operations.


Excellent Compatibility: 
File and software compatibility is one of the strong points of the Galaxy Tab. I was able to play all sorts of video formats such as AVI and MKV files without the need for conversion to MP4. It’s also compatible with Flash.

Great Battery Life: 
Depending on what programs you’re running and screen brightness, you can get more than six hours of battery life with the Galaxy Tab. It’s not as much as the nine to 10 hours from the iPad. But it’s still pretty impressive. Charge time is around 3.5 to 4 hours.

Other Extras: 
The Galaxy Tab features both back and front-facing cameras. Swype text entry is available right off the bat as well. Another nice option is the ability to turn it into a 3G mobile Hotspot. 3G performance for the Verizon version I tested was quite good.


MINUS :
Jittery Default Browser: 
Scrolling pages on the default browser isn’t as smooth as the iPad’s. In fact, it was so noticeably jittery that I ended up installing Opera, which worked a lot smoother and used much less RAM.

Fewer Language Options: 
As someone who studies Japanese, I love the iPad’s ability to display Japanese characters — which the Tab also does. But the iPad also lets you type in Japanese when browsing and can even read Japanese Web pages aloud via VoiceOver, which the Tab does not.

Fewer Apps: 
Granted, Android’s app store has made significant leaps in its number of apps within the last year alone. But it still doesn’t have the same scope and variety that Apple’s app store does as of the Tab’s launch.

Camera Performance: 
Pictures and videos tend to be grainy indoors, though they’re OK for a portable device under adequate lighting. They’re not spectacular, but at least they’re there if you need them.

Other Cons: 
The camera lacks HD video recording, which is puzzling since it’s available in my Galaxy S smartphone. Then again, HD quality on small lenses in general is open for debate. While it’s nice to have a front-facing camera, video chat options are still limited and could be better fleshed out. Having a MicroSD card slot is also nice (16GB card included) but the internal memory is piddly at just 2GB. A regular USB slot would’ve been nice to have as well. Lastly, it would’ve been good to have a cheaper Wi-Fi only version like the iPad to provide consumers greater pricing options. The good news is that Verizon has lowered the price of the Tab from $599 to $499.

Thanks.
