My blog about tablet pc android and smartphones

Yesterday, there is news that Google Play Music will be available for iPad. And there are some demo videos on internet about it as well. Before that Google Play Music is only available for Android device or iPhone, but never can work with iPad. From the picture I attached, we can find there is some changes based on the Google Play Music for iPhone, it is more suitable for iPad and big screen.

The basic operation is the same as iPhone. As we know, Google Play Music was released for iPhone on Nov, 2013, and users can have free All Access wireless audio service for one month.

We can not make sure Google will have similar service for iPad edition, but it will be a strong competitor to Spotify and Beats which is just acquired by Apple.

Anyhow, it is just a good news for Google Music Play fans. If it can beat Beats in the market, we can believe the market share of tablet with Android OS will keep on increasing in near future.

Next month, Google will hold the I/O press, in this press, Google may release the new Android operation system.

As the latest news, the new Android OS may change the interface. Android OS has been available for several month. But the interface has few changes from when it is available. Now, the new OS may have a big changes. As the news says, the Home button will be cancelled, a Google button will replace it.

Google button will be used to search. The Home function may be realized by several buttons. It completely changes people's habits.

Second, the operation of multi order interface has changed as well. The screen will only display one order, you can slide the screen to switch to next order.

When you slide screen from top to bottom, it will enter the notification, the display method is also changed. You can see it from the picture.

We don't know which edition of Android OS will adopt this new interface. Will you be used to this new operation system?

Smart phone can bring us many useful features. For example, you can use it for cooking, download one app for cooking, and then you can be a top cook. But do you know smart phone can be also used for fishing.

I know many people who love fishing. But sometimes, they pay a lot of time, but there is no result. If you own this Deeper, then fishing is not a problem.

In fact, Deeper is a sonar detector. You can connect the deeper with your smart phone by bluetooth. Through the App, you can view where there are fishes, and how deep they are, even the size of the fishes.

There is one USB port in the Deeper, it is used to recharge Deeper, it has a high capacity battery built in, so it can last a long working time, I think it is quite important for users.

Of course, Deeper can offer your fishing location, weather etc information. And you can note down every time you fishing.

Now, Deeper is already available for in Spain. If you loving fishing, you can buy one online through its official website.

Do you still remember the Nexus 5 smart phone android from Google. This unit was available in last year. In a long time, people compared this unit with iPhone 5S. But now as the new generation will be released, Nexus 5 may be ignored in near future.

Though, there is not news from Google about this Nexus 6 smart phone, on internet, many people has already started to expect this unit. Some people even exposed some specification of Nexus 6. I can not make sure it is true or not, but I would like to share this information to you for reference.

Nexus 6 will adopt the CPU from Qualcomm. This CPU is Snapdragon 810. In fact, this chipset is not available. As news from Qualcomm, this 810 chipset will be available in the second half of this year. Qualcomm 810 is one Octa core chipset with four Cortex A57 and four Cortex A53. If this is true, the performance of this Nexus 6 will be enhanced several times.

Regarding other information, I did not collect more, but just from this CPU chipset, we can see the other parts of this Nexus should be excellent as well. Regarding when it will be available, I can not make sure for now. As the latest mobile phone from Google, we are sure it will surpass Nexus 5

Recently, I saw a video ad for Amazon Kindle Fire tablet. In the video, Amazon put Kindle Fire and iPad together, and the screen resolution and color is nearly the same. But the price is much cheaper, so it is a good choice for users.

Now, Amazon Kindle Fire is sold at USD299.00, and in this week, you can have 50SUSD coupon, that means you just need to pay 245USD to get a Amazon Kindle Fire. This price is about 250USD cheaper than iPad.

But many video watchers said the image quality of Kindle Fire in the video is enhanced by software. The real one may be not so good.

Amazon explained that, users can not find any difference between the two screen since they are both Retina IPS screen, but your wallet may tell you their difference.

I have checked out the video carefully, the video is not refurbished, so I can believe that the screen definition and color is quite similar as iPad.

Now, you can see a lot of ads about 4K technology, and mostly they are HD TV set. Till now there is no smart phone with 4K technology. Now it is broken by this Sumsang S5. That is the latest smart phone android from Sumsang.

So what is 4K technology. 4K means the screen resolution is 4096*2160 pixels or higher. The resolution is about 4 times of 1080P screen. Except the Sumsang S5, now, there is no another one with 4K technology. S5 can make us super excellent viewing experience. Except the 4K technology, S5 has the finger printer technology, and high water proof and dust off technology.

You can see the picture I captured from videos, the resolution is much higher than other mobile phones in market including iPhone.

Except the high video resolution, S5 also have high tone quality, when playing audios, the quality is brilliant. It can support multi format like WMA, MP3 etc.

As technology innovation, more people are willing to watch videos on smart phone since it is more convenient. So one problem is the power battery. This S5 also has one high capacity battery, can make the unit work over 2 days.

In the first quarter of 2014, there are many good and powerful tablets available in the market. Today let's have a summary and find out the top long working time tablets.

When users buy a tablet, the battery capacity is one important aspect they will take into consideration. So which tablet can work longest time. It is not iPad Air, but the Sumsang Note Pro

1. Sumsang Note Pro

This unit has one 12.2 inch IPS screen with 2560*1600 high resolution. The built in battery is 9500Mah. As our testing, this unit can last working nine hours. Big screen, long working time, it is the best choice to you

2. iPad Air

No need to say more about this unit, you should know it well. iPad Air has one 10 inch screen, and 8820Mah battery. As the same testing, it can last working for eight and half hours.

3. iPad Mini

Another top tablet from Apple, it has a high resolution IPS Retina screen, and more important the battery is also powerful. It can work about eight and half hours as well without recharge.

4. Sumsang Galaxy Tab 3

One 8 inch tablet pc. This unit does not perform so good as the above units. But as it has a long working time, it is still prefered by a lot of people here. It can work six and half hours

5. Sony Xperia Tablet Z

One latest tablet from Sony. It also has one 10 inch IPS screen. As I have introduced before, this unit has a very good water proof function, can work 1 meter deep in water for over 1 hours. It also has one 6000Mah battery which can last about six hours.

Of course, like LG G Pad and other new tablets have a good performance on battery as well, I will not introduce here. If you want a high capacity battery tablet, then the above five are your top choice.

I have been living in China for several years. I know, in some big cities here, like Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai or Beijing, it is very hard to take taxi, especially in raining days. Maybe you think the taxi drivers should have high incomes every month. The reality is their income is quite low. Recently, I investigated with some drivers who has a very high income. The tips is the tablet. All of them owns a tablet when driving.

Now, in China, there is one hot app for tablet, it is used for taking taxi. When raining days, users just need to place your order, and your location will be automatically displayed on the order. Drivers can easily see your order. So there is one problem, if several taxi drivers see your order, then what to do? First, the tablet will only launch your order according to your location. Only taxis nearby can see your order, further, once your order is accepted with one driver, then it will disappear.

I know one driver here very well, he has one Dell tablet. He told me the unit has good running speed, can help him get the order ahead of other drivers. So every month, only by the tablet, he can get a lot of business, and earn over 2000 euros each month. In China, it is nearly 5 times than other drivers.

Some times, tablet is only an entertainment device, but some times, it can help you a lot on your job and business.

In last Tuesday, one facility released a report. In the report, it shows the sales and market share of Sumsang smart phones drops in the first quarter of 2014.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Sumsang took about 31.2% market share which still rank top in the list. But compared with last year, the market share drops a bit. In 2013, Samsang took about 32.4% market share. iPhone still ranked the second spot, the market share drops from 17.5% to 15.3%. Huawei, one big manufacturer in China ranked forth with 4.7% market share, and Lenovo ranked fifth with also 4.7% market share, increased from 3.9%. As Lenovo acquired Motorola which was a well know mobile phone brand name, people foresee the market share of Lenovo will keep on increasing in following month.

Regarding the sales volume, Sumsang sold about 89 million pieces in first quarter in 2014, and iPhone sold 43.7 million pieces, about half of Sumsang.

Regarding tablet, tablet with Android operation system still ranked top with 65.8% market share, iPad only took 28.4% dropped from 40.3% market share. Windows tablet still take about 5.8% which is equal to last year.

As competition is higher than before, we can see sales of Sumsang mobile phones will keep on reducing in following month. But as more and more new models available, it may recover soon within this year.
