My blog about tablet pc android and smartphones

Last time, Sprint released the news that new Android 4.4.3 operation system is released, and yesterday, Google Edu Device Setup app also confirmed the news. As the information from the Google Edu Device Setup, the new edition can work with the latest Android 4.4.3, You can see it the news in the picture I attached.

For now, there is not further news about the new OS, and what is the update based on the old Android 4.4.2. So we have to wait patient for detail information from Google. But I am sure the new OS will be available in the following months.

As my news from China, many tablets and smart phones suppliers also received the news, and they have already started to develop the new tablets with the new operation system. That is quite a good news for us.

From last month, there are more and more news about new device from Apple, like the iPhone6, iOS8, iWatch, but there is nothing for the iPad. Today, I found one good news about iPad. The new iPad Air 2 will be released, there are some pictures on the internet, I can not make sure if the pictures are real or refurbished. But it looks quite reliable.

From the picture we can see the unit may adopt the same technology of Retina Macbook Pro. It helps to reduce the size of the unit, so the new iPad Air 2 will be more slim than last edition, and there are more space for more parts, like high capacity battery. The new iPad Air 2 may adopt the touch IS technology like the iPhone5S. The screen resolution is also 2560*1536 pixels

From last year, there was news that iPad will adopt the IGZO tablet, recently, Sharp claimed that it will develop the MEMS screen, the performance is the same as IGZO, now, we can not make sure which one will be adopted in the new iPad Aire 2.

Regarding the CPU chipset, it may be one hybridized chipset, it may be two high power consumption and two low consumption chipset. The running speed is faster and more power saving.

Now, some famous smart phone suppliers in China has claimed that they will release the smart phones based on Ubuntu operation system at the end of this year. As the Ubuntu 14.04 can work with the touch screen, so we can believe, the tablet with Ubuntu OS will be available in very near future. So do you have any idea about this new operation system. Will it become the competitor of Android, iOS and Windows? Let's expect it.

Yesterday, Nokia announced the product advisory for the Nokia Lumia 2520, the reason is the problem of its charger. Now, this news is only for UK, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Russia market.

As the charger of the tablet has the risk of electronic shock, Nokia advised user not to use the charger in packing. Till now, over thirty thousands users are affected.

Except that, Nokia also stop supplying the Lumia 2520 Travel charger in US. Till now, there is no accident happened.

Nokia has opened a special webpage to instruct buyers operation and usage. If you want more information, you can go to the Nokia website, or www.ontablets.es.

For now, there is no any news, Nokia will cancel the advisory. If any question, you can consult with us.

Sometime, when you drop your tablet or contact with water, it may be broken, and will not work, you have to buy another one. But now, there is one strong tablet released from Taiwan, the Getac T800. Till now, it is the strongest tablet I have ever seen. This T800 is one tablet with Windows8.1 operation system. This unit has won the IP65 certificate. It can be protected from dust and water very well. Even 30 meters deeper in water, the unit will still work. Normally, a tablet is used for entertainment. But recently, and more and more people use tablet for business or job. In bad working condition, an ordinary tablet can not work long, then down to work. But this unit can work fine. So it is quite suitable for office use, and in other bad condition. Following, let's share something about this unit.

This T800 adopts the Intel N3530 CPU chipset, and frequency can be 2.16MHz at max. The RAM is 4G. Buyers can choose 64G or 128G memory disc as their demand. The screen is 8.1 inch size with 1280*600 pixels, and 600PPI, when watching videos on screen, the resolution and quality is very good.

Some useful feature like the latest bluetooth4.0 and GPS navigation system have already been put into the unit.

For now, I just can get so much information about this tablet. As estimation, it will be released in market in June, the price is quite high. Once it is available, I will offer more information about it here.

As the demand for tablets is higher and higher recently, but till today, Intel does not take too many market shares. The most widely adopted chipset are from Allwinner, Rockchip, Action etc. That's because the chipset of Intel is much more expensive.

Recently, the news from Taiwan showed that Intel was planning to reduce its price of their quad core chipsets. The price may be lower than USD5.00. This price is very similar as Rockchip and Allwinner, but much lower than other NVIDIA, MTK.

After this news is released, many tablets suppliers in China start to adopt the Intel chipset for their products. Till today, the market share is increasing dramatically compared with half year ago. Furthermore, Intel will invest over one hundred million dollars to make further cooperation with China tablets manufacturers, and help them to develop the new tablets including design, technology, marketing.

I think this news is quite attractive news for most suppliers in China, they can cost less to have high class, competitive products. I can not foresee the future, but now, these actions work. More and more buyers in worldwide start to buy the tablets with Intel chipset.

If you asked which is the first tablet from Nokia, maybe most of you guys will answer it is the Lumia 2520. That is one tablet with Windows RT operation system. But as the news from Finland, in 2001, Nokia has already released its first tablet, the Nokia Web Tablet. You know, the first iPad was available in 2010, much later than Nokia Web Tablet.

The Nokia Web Tablet is quite big, people can make operation by the buttons at the side of the tablet. It need a bracket to hold and fix it. The screen is also very old, not IPS, or even TFT, but a white and black screen.

It also can work with the wifi router to surf internet or chat online. From the picture you can see, you can send and receive emails by the unit as well. There is USB host as well.

Since tablet is a new idea for people at that moment, this Nokia Web tablet was not available in market finally. And nine years later, Apple released the first tablet, iPad, and take the market very soon. And the performance is also much better than that old tablet.

Yestery, I have told the news that the Allwinner A80 Octa core CPU chipset has already been available, and some rough information about this chipset. Today, I will share more information about this chipset.

This Allwinner A80 is developed based on the ARM big.LITTLE, and has four Cortex A7 and four Cortex A15 chipset, it can support both H.264, and H.265 decoding. The chipset can support 8GB RAM at max, and can work with EMMC Flash memory space.

If you still remember the what is EMMC flash memory. EMMC flash memory has a good running speed and huge memory space compared with Nand Flash as we know. Now in the market, few tablets can support EMMC flash memory. Once the A80 chipset is available, then the performance of tablets will be furtherly enhanced.

As we know, Allwinner can win a lot of market by its low price, and good performance. So I don't think the tablet with A80 will be expensive.

Sorry for not updating my blog several days. From 12th Arpil, I have been to HK to attend a trade show there. In the trade show, I saw a lot of new tablets from China. And the best news is Rockchip released its latest quad core CPU chipset. I have tried the CPU chipset in the HK show, and in my idea, this is the most powerful chipset for now. Today, let's see some information about this chipset.

This chipset adopts the latest and most powerful GPU, Mali -T764. The performance of the GPU is five times than the old edition, and the CPU performance is enhanced 50%. No matter watching videos, listen music, play apps, online games, surfing internet, the running speed it the fastest.

As the authorized news, Rockship has already been the member of the Gamelof and EA affiliate. As we know, Gamelof and EA are the biggest online games companies, and they have big market shares in Spain. Rockchip becomes the member of the affiliate means the RK3288 has the best performance for online games running, video quality processing, etc.

The Mali T-764 adopts some latest technology, like the ASTC, ARM Frame Buffer Compression, Transaction Elimination, and the Enlighten technology embed in Xbox and PS4.

When running big online games on tablets with RK3288 chipset, there is no any cutting out problems. It shows the super high performance on the GPU. It can support the H.265 decoding by firmware. and can work with the HDMI2.0. So you can output the high definition videos to TV set in a fast manner.

Asus Memo Pad FHD10 was available on last Aug, till now, it is already over half years. Today, let's have a review on this unit. Memo Pad FHD10 is quad core tablet with Intel Atom Z2560 CPU chipset, the frequency of this chipset is a bit lower than another Intel chipset, Z2580. The frequency is 1.6GHz. The screen size is 10.1 inch IPS screen, the resolution is 1920*1200 pixels. RAM is 2G and memory is 16G. As it is one old units, so the configuration is not good as the latest model in market. Today, I will not show you how powerful this unit is, and just let you know why it is more expensive than some other cheap tablets online.

First of all, let's see the unit design. In fact, its design is not so fashion, or classic. The size looks a bit big. But when you own this unit, you will be concentrated on the high screen resolution, and the interface of the Android OS. Especially, the interface is very nice, and quite different with the other tablets here.

Second, let's see the wifi function. This unit can work with both 2.4G and 5G wifi signal. So it can avoid the interference of the 2.4G signal if too many people use it. I tried with my own wireless router at home. The Asus Memo Pad FHD10 can have a very strong wifi signal, and one another cheap tablet I bought online can not make it. Till now, Memo PAD FHD10 is the tablet I have seen with best wifi module inside.

Third GPS navigation, I did not connect with wifi signal, or 3G dongle. Just use the GPS module inside. Usually, the cheap tablet can not receive any satellite signal if putting at home, but this FHD10 can easily position. You can mount it in your car and work as GPS navigator.
