The Windows Phone 8 Start Screen Is the Best of Any Phone
I love Windows Phone 7s start screen: neatly organized square tiles that clearly show information in real time—from emails to photos to weather to travel progress—without having to click on applications. With Windows Phone 8 Microsoft has solved my only criticism: not enough information density. And it have done so without destroying Metros simplicity and elegance.As WP8 chief Joe Belfiore said on stage today, this is going to be the feature that users will love the most.
The new Windows Phone 8 Start screen allows for the same level of customization as the tablet and desktop versions of Windows 8. It lets you move tiles around in any way you want and resize the tiles to small, medium and large sizes:
• The medium size is the square one that Windows Phone 7 has now.
• The small size is one quarter of that size.
• The large size takes over two of the square tiles.
• The small size is one quarter of that size.
• The large size takes over two of the square tiles.
The tiles content is highly customizable too. Apart from specific apps live tiles, the system would allow you to create specific contact or group tiles, with all the relevant information—emails, Facebook updates, photo uploads, etc.—displayed in real time within the tile.
It will also let you add as many apps as you want to the home screen as icons. By keeping these at the small size, you can create a grid of app icons as dense as the one in the iPhone. Except that here you can also combine those with larger live tiles. Simple, elegant, fully customizable.
The new sizes are also compatible with current Windows Phone 7 apps live tiles, so no change on the part of the developer is needed—and you wont need to re-download all the apps you already have.
Microsoft is also adding more live tile color options, and now you can assign individual colors to tiles; something that users tired of a uniform block of blocks were demanding.
Customization and variable information density without the mess
Resizable custom tiles are precisely what the Windows Phones start screen needed to be pretty much perfect from a user experience point of view. Much better and more elegant than the static grid of badge-peppered tiny icons of iOS. Or the painful and ugly clusterf*ck of widgets that you can see in most user-customized Android screens.
Unlike the competitions start screen solutions, resizable tiles give users the ability to increase information density to the maximum allowed on a phone screen while keeping it clean, comprehensive, and pretty. The start screen will provide with as much data as users want, no matter if they are beginners who like just a few important tiles or advanced users who want an information overload.
And the key to avoiding any user-induced design mayhem is as obvious as keeping an organizational grid. No matter what the user does, theres no way that the start screen would look ugly or confusing. Pretty simple and effective.
Microsoft says that this new start screen can tailor each phone to fit each users lifestyle. People whose lives revolve around sports would be able to create a screen in which their favorite teams and athletes Twitter accounts or Facebook pages are combined with real-time scoring apps, all alongside their own live tiles for mail, weather or games. Those who love social networks would be able to have their favorite friends always on screen. And so on.
Its really up to the user to decide what they want their phone to be. Microsoft is just making sure that happens, in as pretty and functional manner as weve ever seen. (via Gizmodo)
How Was the Computer Invented and When
Imagine the world without computers. You’d have no internet to help you with your homework, and just think of all that post, photocopying and filing.
The first computer was invented in 1834, long before TV, telephones and even electricity. The inventor, Charles Babbage, called his computer the Difference Engine. It was essentially a calculator and since there was no electricity, it was mechanical. And very complicated.
In fact he never quite managed to finish it. Babbage spent a further 37 years designing the Analytical Engine, a pre-cursor to the first working general-purpose computers.
Computers really got going in the 20th century: Konrad Zuse’s Z3 was the first programmable computer, invented in 1941.
The Colossus computer was the first completely electronic computer. It was used to crack German codes during the Second World War.
By the end of the 1950s computers had become smaller and cheaper. (They were still about the size of a double-decker bus, though.)
Microprocessors, programmable components measuring just a few millimetres, were invented by Intel employee Ted Hoff in 1971. Just one of them was as powerful as the huge 30-tonne computers of the 1940s.
By the 1980s computers were small and cheap enough for individuals to buy and use at home. And today, computers are everywhere and most modern electronic devices, from washing machines to cars, contain one.
Finished Engine: Although Charles Babbage never completed the Difference Engine himself, the Science Museum in London did manage to build one in 1991, to mark the 200th anniversary of Babbage’s birth. And it worked!
Computers have taken over almost all aspects of our lives, from schoolwork and homework to keeping in touch with your friends. But not so long ago computers didn’t even exist.
Can you live without using one for at least a week? Sign the declaration and see if you have the will power to give it up.
I DECLARE: BY SIGNING THIS FORM I AGREE TO LIVE ONE WHOLE WEEK WITHOUT USING A COMPUTER AT ALL. HOWEVER TEMPTED I MAY BE, I VOW NOT TO TOUCH ONE.
Nexus 7 The best Android tablet under Rs 15 000
The Google Nexus has become the most celebrated device since its launch recently at the Google I/O. Google-Asus partnered to bring this new tablet which
The Google Nexus 7 has become the most celebrated device, since its launch at the recently concluded Google I/O 2012 event. Google and Asus partnered to bring this new tablet, which doesn’t target the reigning iPad, but tablets that fall within the price range of Rs. 11,000 and Rs. 15,000. It appears to be worth every penny, and why wouldn’t it? A quad-core tablet under Rs. 15,000 sounds just amazing. But that isn’t all, the tablet has much more features that could entice a user, and the most assuring bit comes from the fact that it has been built by industry giant.
Feature-packed
The affordable tablet market in India is flourishing. The first batch of ICS tablets came under the Rs. 10,000 bracket in the form of the Zync Z990, iBerry Auxus AX02. We’ve also seen tablets emerge above the 10K mark like the MSI Windpad, mTab Neo 2 and the most recent mTab Neo Rio. Going by the specifications and assuming that Google brings the device to India at the same or slightly higher price, the Nexus 7 seems far superior.
Heres a quick look at its specifications -
- Screen - The Nexus 7 has a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen. It features an IPS screen with scratch resistant Corning glass protection and a resolution of 1280×800 pixels.
- Processor - The Nexus 7 built by Asus comes with a 1.3GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor for quick loading, smooth and responsive interface and running multiple apps, along with 1GB RAM. A 12 core GPU offers rich and immersive graphics, while patented 4-PLUS-1CPU design offers processing power.
- Camera - The Nexus 7 hasnt worked too well in the camera bit. Google has given the rear camera a miss, while it comes integrated with a 1.2MP front camera for video chats, which also allows 720p recording.
- Memory - The Google Nexus is available in two models – 8GB and 16GB storage. However, there is no expandable memory slot.
- Portability - The Nexus 7 tips the scale at 340 grams with 198.5 x 120 x 10.5 mm dimensions.
- Battery life - Nexus 7 promises a battery life with over 9 hours of HD video playback, 10 hours of web browsing or 10 hours of eReading. It also offers up to 300 hours of standby time.
In India, we find Android tablets positioned at various price points - starting from as low as Rs. 5,000 and Rs. 6000 and ranging upto Rs. 20,000 and above. At the end of the day, it’s all about the experience that a tablet has to offer for that extra moolah (if you are ready to spend it). In our tests and comparisons, we found that the Micromax Funbook offers good value for money at a price of Rs. 6,500. As aforementioned, there are a couple of tablets priced around the Rs. 15,000 price bracket.
On the backside
Samsung and Google are well known brands in India. Google’s known for its Android OS and its whole line of web services and Samsung is known for the dominance that it enjoys in the consumer electronics space. Although Samsung has some high-end tablets, one of the interesting products in their kitty is their Galaxy Tab 2 310, which sells in the sub-20k price tag. The Micromax Funbook and the Galaxy Tab 2 310 appear to be great products at their respective price points. The Google Nexus 7 is being introduced at a $200 price tag in the U.S. Assuming that it is priced slightly higher, it should hit Indian markets just shy of the Rs. 15,000 mark. Keeping the Funbook and Galaxy Tab 2 310 as reference points in their respective segments, we think the Nexus 7 is also going to be a key contender in its price range and will bridge that gap.
We’ve compared the specs of the Nexus 7 with the Funbook and Galaxy Tab 2 310, which shows how the Nexus has been competitively priced by offering more value for money (if it is priced under Rs. 15,000) and how it offers much more than the Galaxy tab 2 310 for a much lesser price. So, this isn’t a literal comparison of the features, as the devices vary at price points.
Click to enlarge...
All three tablets come with a 7-inch screen, but the Nexus 7 manages to rope in a higher resolution at 800 x 1280, compared to both Funbook and Galaxy Tab 2 310. Moreover, the Nexus 7 has an IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with scratch resistant abilities. The Nexus 7 equips a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A9 processor, which is commendable at this price. The Micromax Funbook features a 1.22 GHz Cortex-A8 processor, while the Galaxy tab 2 310 equips a dual-core 1GHz Ti OMAP processor for a much higher price. The Nexus comes equipped with a better battery, compared to the other two. Moreover, it has the latest version of the Android OS, even when ICS hasnt reached most devices yet.
Sleek and slim...
Google’s pushing hard for NFC and its visible by the feature added to the Nexus 7 tablet. The NFC feature means that you can quickly grab bits of information from tags and other devices. For a tablet that may be priced around the Rs. 15,000 range, it’s actually pretty neat. Both, the Funbook and the Galaxy Tab 2 310 don’t come with the feature. The Nexus 7 might have NFC, but here in India, NFC still hasn’t taken off, since only a handful of devices now support it, with little to no infrastructure set in place. The Funbook lacks a camera, and only has a VGA one for video chatting. The Nexus 7 lacks one too, but it has a front facing 1.2 MP camera (720p video recording), which would primarily be used for video conferencing. If you’re going to be using photo apps on your tablet, the Galaxy Tab 2 might be the better of the lot. It has a 3MP camera, and since it’s rear facing, it makes it simpler to click photos with.
There are a number of reasons to be excited about the Nexus 7. It marks Google’s foray into the tablet space and looking at the price bracket it’s priced at, it has a lot of potential, as we’ve mentioned in this story. It has a ton of fire power, bundled with a great screen and good features and could possibly reach India after September. In fact, we think it’s better than the Galaxy Tab 2 310 in many ways. The only reason to go out and buy the Galaxy Tab 2 is if you need 3G capability built into the device. (via Tech2)
