Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1


Finally here!
Today, Samsung announced the launch of the Galaxy Note 10.1, an extension of the Galaxy Note category. The Galaxy Note 10.1 offers the functionality and precision of a pen and paper on a 10.1-inch large display. It is armed with a 1.4GHz quad-core processor and 2GB RAM. We have no confirmation on the pricing yet.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 incorporates intuitive features and capabilities such as side-by-side multitasking. This is thanks to its 'Multiscreen' on a 10.1-inch large screen;
S Pen with a variety of S Note templates, and productive tools (Shape Match and Formula Match); Learning Hub for accessing educational curricula and Adobe's Photoshop Touch. With the Multiscreen feature, it's possible to use two different applications simultaneously. So web pages and videos can be viewed, or applications launched using one half of the screen, at the same time as the other half is used for writing or sketching ideas with the S Pen. You can also capture and crop images, and paste them onto the other screen to make personal notes. Featuring its advanced 6.5 mm S Pen, the Galaxy Note 10.1 is optimised for the creation of personalised and expressive content in the most natural and intuitive way. The S Pen's feel and functionality are specifically designed for an optimal experience on the 10.1-inch screen. The S Pen is embedded directly in the device and, when removed, automatically launches specially optimised applications, including S Note, S Planner, Crayon physics, Adobe Photoshop Touch, and Polaris Office.

Samsung is also pitching the new tablet as an interactive learning tool. Students can take notes directly on an eTextbook during lectures, or research the Web at the same time as writing an essay. Samsung's Learning Hub service is optimised for Galaxy Note 10.1 allowing owners to access extensive multimedia educational content, whatever their age. This content includes eTextbooks, video lectures, interactive coaching and much more, and can be shared with multiple Samsung devices. Furthermore, Learning Hub comes with a learning management system providing schedule management, performance management, and achievement management tools, so students of any age can learn at their own pace. The Galaxy Note 10.1 also includes a 5-megapixel main camera and a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera.

The tablet will be available in 2 versions: Wi-Fi-only and Wi-Fi with 3G HSPA-Plus connectivity. Both versions will be available at launch, and a WiFi-and-LTE version will be available later this year.

La Merce Festival in Barcelona

Towards the end of September Barcelona begins to limber up for the largest event on its festival calendar, La MercĂ©, a celebration of the city’s patron saint “Mare de Deu de la MercĂ©”. The festival heralds the end of summer and the onset of the autumn months. The festival is a real big deal for the people of Barcelona and the still temperate weather means that, in true Mediterranean fashion, must of the fun takes place outside. There’s a massive amount to do whilst the festival is on with events popping up all over the city and over 3000 artists

Lenovo IdeaPad U310 Review

A surefire sign that Ultrabooks are growing up is that prices are coming down. The latest example: the Lenovo IdeaPad U310, a $799 sequel to the U300s. This notebook features a faster Core i5 processor and pairs 32GB of flash memory with a 500GB hard drive to offer both fast resumes and gobs of storage. Lenovo also remembered to include an SD Card slot this time around (huzzah!) on the stylin' aluminum chassis. So just how much Ultrabook do you get for the money?

Toshiba 47L7200U review

The L7200U Cinema Series is Toshiba’s top-of-the-line flagship for 2012. The 47-inch model is a 3D, Smart, edgelit-LED HDTV that does a lot for an MSRP of $1,899. Compare that to Samsung’s 46-inch ES8000 , which is over $1000 more expensive. The 47L7200U is a sleek, attractive TV. It has a few interesting new functions, what Toshiba calls TriVector™ 2D to 3D Conversion, Dual-Core Cinema Quality Engine™, and a side-mounted IR flasher for linking infrared devices, such as a Comcast cable box, to the TV’s MediaGuide function. That’s a lot of branded technology.
