The iPad Alternatives
Not convinced that Apple's iPad is the tablet for you?By November 2010, we were finally introduced to the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the Korean company's answer for a 7-inch tablet powered by Google Android 2.2. Right after that, the 5-inch Dell Streak, which was launched much earlier in the United States, also joined the party, preloaded with the same Android 2.2 OS. The equation is finally complete when Viewsonic launched their tablets, one of which is the Viewsonic ViewPad 7. Here's a concise list of features you can expect from each tablet.
Powered by a Cortex A8 1GHz processor and Google Android 2.2, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is the company's first tablet device that brings a wide variety of multimedia content via its 7-inch TFT-LCD screen at 1024 x 600 resolution to the masses.
Features
The new Dell Streak is touted to have the best features of both a phone and tablet with its in-between, sweet spot 5-inch display. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GHz processor runs the show with the Streak's Google Android 2.2 and a bevy of Dell customized widgets.
Features
Designed to meet the work, lifestyle and entertainment needs of today's sophisticated consumers, the ViewPad 7 integrates unique and innovative functions and consolidate a multitude of individual electronic devices into one. Users can surf the Internet, take and share photos, play games, listen to music, and connect with friends via the ViewPad tablet.

LED or LCD displays ????
LED-backlit LCD TVs differ from conventional CCFL-backlit LCD TVs in the following:
- They can produce an image with greater dynamic contrast compared with CCFL-backlit LCD TVs.
- With Edge-LED lighting they can be extremely slim. Current models on the market can be approximately one inch thick.
- They can offer a wider color gamut, especially when RGB-LED backlighting is used.
- Lesser environmental pollution on disposal.
- Higher cost due to current market product placement.
- Generally have a lower power consumption in the realm of 20-30%.
Because LEDs are able to be switched on and off more quickly than CCFL displays and can offer a higher light output, it is theoretically possible to offer very high contrast ratios. They can produce deep blacks (LEDs off) and a high brightness (LEDs on), however care should be taken with measurements made from pure black and pure white outputs, as technologies like Edge-LED lighting do not allow these outputs to be reproduced simultaneously on-screen.

32-bit and 64-bit Windows !!!! What is this man ?
What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows? |
The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.
How can I tell if my computer is running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of Windows? |
To find out if your computer is running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, do the following:
-
Open System by clicking the Start button , right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties. -
Under System, you can view the system type.
If your computer is running Windows XP, do the following:
-
Click Start. -
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.-
If you don't see "x64 Edition" listed, then you're running the 32-bit version of Windows XP. -
If "x64 Edition" is listed under System, you're running the 64-bit version of Windows XP.
-
Which version of Windows 7 should I install: the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version? |
To install a 64-bit version of Windows 7, you need a CPU that's capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows. The benefits of using a 64-bit operating system are most apparent when you have a large amount of random access memory (RAM) installed on your computer, typically 4 GB of RAM or more. In such cases, because a 64-bit operating system can handle large amounts of memory more efficiently than a 32-bit operating system, a 64-bit system can be more responsive when running several programs at the same time and switching between them frequently. For more information, see Installing and reinstalling Windows 7.
