Samsung Galaxy Tab 750, for those who want nothing else than perfection....

January 27 was a day when history was made...It was the first time Steve Jobs introduced to the world to something called ipad...from that day tablet became something other than what you take when ill..A group of tablets came to ruin the apple's party..but in vain...Apple relaxed till something called Samsung Galaxy Tab 750 was introduced in the market by the biggie "Samsung" on 10th August 2011..





The star of galaxy was too big for the small apples to handle....:P

So what makes Samsung Galaxy Tab 750 the most desirable tab on earth...
Lets have a look at its exciting features which makes you crazy about it..

Dimensions: Size of 256.7 x 175.3 x 8.6 mm and a weight of just 565 grams.

The first appealing thing about this tab is its impressive looks and weight...
Samsung has adopted a widescreen design with the Galaxy 10.1. While other tablet manufactures like Acer too have adopted similar form-factors, the implementation on the Galaxy Tab is superior thanks to its being ultra light at 565 grams making it more comfortable for over extended periods of use. And yes, it is lighter than the iPad 2 - by a minute 36 grams.
The comparisons with iPad 2 don't stop here as the svelte Galaxy Tab 10.1 snatches the tag of the world's thinnest tablet from the iPad 2 by 0.2-mm. 8.6-mm vs 8.8-mm may seem negligible but it matters a lot when it comes to heavy usage.



Display: 10.1″ wide HD display with 16 million colors, the capacitive type
touchscreen,16:10 image aspect ratio and WXGA resolution of 1280 x 800
pixels.


The 10.1 inch display adds feather to its crown...The 1280 x 800 pixels resolution guarantees a crisp and picturesque images of those memorable moments who always wanna remember...The display also support high definition playback.. Since it is capacitive and multi-touch type, the sensitivity of the screen is perfect and it has fast touch response. You can write on this Tab’s keyboard at the same speed as you write on your computer’s keyboard and the response speed is comparatively higher than the tablets in this segment.





Operating: Android Honeycomb OS 3.1
System


The Galaxy Tab 750 runs on the latest iteration of the Android Operating system developed by Google- Android 3.1 (Honeycomb).But to differentiate the Galaxy Tab from their Android competitors in India??...Came the answer.. It was TouchWiz UX, the Android skin implemented on the Galaxy Tab which makes it superior to other tabs...




Processor: 1 GHz Dual core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor

When a 1GHz NVidia Tegra 2 processor and 1GB of RAM power a device, we expect it to be a speed demon and so it is...The device is very smooth and the performance is predominant.
Multitasking is never been so easy on a tab, thanks to the robust NVidia processor..






Multimedia: Audio: MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, AAC Plus, eAAC +, AMR and MIDI.
Video: MP4, 3GP, WMV, DivX, XviD, H.264 and H.263.


Thanks to 10.1″ wide WXGA HD display which makes our day when playing favorite movies and videos in high definition and also to NVIDIA Tegra 2 for the speed it gives to the Tab.
It supports most of the popular audio and video format available under the sky..The audio quality is of great power and plays music sharply even at maximum volume..
So simply Samsung Galaxy Tab 750 rocks in the multimedia category.





Synchronization: Bluetooth 3.0, Direct Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and A-GPS
and Connectivity

As always with Android devices syncing is probably amongst the easiest things to do. The same can be done on the Galaxy Tab, but Samsung has stepped up the game with the 'Kies Air' Wi-Fi sync application. All one has to do is connect to a Wi-Fi network . The app will reproduce an IP address, which we need to type in our browser, and voila! We have access to all the data. We can drag and drop files, save messages and much more.


Apps:

And the most exciting of all features is Samsung’s proprietary UI- TouchWiz.
Apart from the standard Google apps, The Galaxy Tab 10.1 brings in much more utility thanks to TouchWiz UX.





some of the most important apps include the following:

1. Samsung Hubs
2. Samsung Mail
3. Gmail
4. Kobo eBooks
5. Pen memo
6. Photo Editor
7. World Clock
8. Polaris Office

The most promising is Samsung hubs: namely the Social hub which basically aggregates all information from one's E-mails, Facebook and Twitter and Music hub which is not available in India.
I am very much excited to play Angry Birds on my galaxy tab...
To read my review on angry birds please click here and promote it if u like it..



Other Features which though general, but adds to the beauty of the tab are...

Camera: 3 Megapixel with LED flash, 720p HD video recording, auto-focus, smile
detection,image stabilizer and Geo-tagging.


The front 3 Megapixel camera is idle for all those who are not a pro in photography. We get many options such as white balance, focus modes, Scene Mode, effects and Geo tagging.


Battery: Li-Po type with 7000 mAh capacity

The battery incorporated with Galaxy Tab 750 is Li-Po type with 7000 mAh capacity.
On moderate use i.e playing music and watching movies the battery lasts for 8-9 hours which
is pretty good as compared to other tabs..


Connectors: 30-pin dock connector port and 3.5mm stereo headphone jack

User are given the choice to choose their earphones, so one an select from a wide range available..



Speakers::

The dual surround sound speakers will surely make my experience of watching a movie or listening to music come lively and rejuvenating..



Finally coming to

The Verdict

I can easily say that Samsung Galaxy Tab 750 is best of the rest and a close competitor to Apple Ipad-2. It is excellent in terms of quality of materials and fairly complete in terms of features.
So just go for it...pick it right away...:)

These days it is all about the apps. There are apps for iOS. There are apps for Android. There are apps for Windows Phone 7. Now there are apps for Macs, and thanks to Intel, there are apps for netbooks … and a great new way to find what’s out there.
Intel’s AppUp is “Your source for netbook apps”. It is a great resource for anyone who has a netbook, and it is worth checking out even if you don’t.

Installing AppUp takes just a few seconds, and it can be found here on the AppUpp site. From there you can browse an ever-growing app collection and install the ones you like on your netbook.


Now coming to the most favorite App of all "Angry Birds".



Popular Games of the past

There was a time when we used to quarrel with our brothers/sisters to get the remote of the TV video game to play “Super Mario”. One more popular game of those days was “Dave” . There began a trend in the Gaming after the late 90s . Every electronic company tried to add gaming feature to their electronic devices. For ex. TV, Cell Phones, PC, even for calculators and Watches do came loaded with games as the Gaming era went on deeper.




There is a myth in Gaming world that, only High definition games of huge sizes (in GBs) are good to play. It isn’t that right. Games like Snake, Dave & Mario are great examples of how the simplest concept can be turned into an extremely addictive game. Of course yes, games become addictive not just because of their complication, It is all whats there inside the game and not how much the game is.

The concept of Angry Birds

Such a game is the little “Angry Bird” developed by developed by Finland-based Rovio Mobile. Which was the Largest selling app on the Apple’s iTunes in the last year. Angry Bird was shot to be so famous just by a simple and devilishly addictiveness the game consists. The most pretty thing in the game is the cute characters which comes in. As soon as the Game started earning millions on iPhone, iPad and other devices. Android version was soon made for the users which was given away for free.



Finally came the PC version

As the popularity of the games went on building, a PC version of the game was released by the Intel AppUp store (a PC app store) which became made easy for almost anybody to play the Angry Bird game. All you need to play is 4.99$ to get this game for your PC from AppUp store. which is not so expensive compared to other games we buy on Internet. Although it doesn’t look much economical , It is worth playing it on PC.

Characters of the Game



Red– Wood Breaker
Blue– Glass Jaw
Green– Parabeak
Yellow– Mocking Bird
Black– Kamikaze Bird
White – Egg Beater

My opinions

The Game is well carved and polished, with only one drawback that you cannot get the scores updated for your PC version of the game from the mobile version of the Angry Bird.



The concept of the Angry Bird is so simple yet addictive, The players launches the Birds using a slingshot to destroy the pigs stationed on or within other various structures. Player will also get special birds with more features as the games proceeds further.


Angry Anna came the Angry birds way

PAIN

This is something really personal. I'd written it a couple of Months back. Something I heard on a day a real close friend of mine really broke down. This is her life, This is dedicated to her...


"Will u leave me ?" You asked. I said "I'd never !"
Love's made to sever, I'm beginning to See
Is love eternal ? Does it last forever ?
I loved you then, why would i desire to be free ?
I still live with you, darling you still don't know
I hate you now, have I stooped so low ?
My feelings, my emotions have ceased to grow,
The person you desire, that can't be me !

Your hand in my hand, so healing was that touch,
The time you were away, I'd missed them so much,
The angel I saw in you, I was used to that crutch,
Don't take him away God ! He is my dream...
But when you touch me now, I'm burning Inside,
This torture, this pain, I just cannot hide,
Endless days are past, years have I cried,
With u I can't live, U can't without me !

Day after day, I see love in your eyes,
Day after day, I've to live with my lies,
Runnin forever's your laughter, my cries,
I'm blank, I'm blind, where will this lead ?
I want to see bliss in you, so I can't say,
For hurting you dear, God will make me pay,
But how will I hide, I can't lead you astray,
My heart will be aching, till you too hate me !

I can't love you now, I can't work it out,
This rain of pain makes me scream, makes me shout,
Is this what eternal love's all about,
I'm left with nothing, I just wanna break free...
I can't see you hurt, neither can I take pain,
This guilt, my heart will drive me insane,
I won't let you die, i wont let you gain,
Just one of us will live, the other will be Me !




When I look at it now, all those memories come screaming back to me. That will be one day I won't forget. Things have changed now, but memories remain forever ...

I drove the road to success with my Fiat Fiabo..a diesel Car....

Everyone was busy clicking their shutterbugs to capture the glimpse of India's renown painter
"Shiv Prasad".
All were eager to listen to the story of this great painter..
From a small town part time painter how did he managed to become an iconic artist was what everyone was looking forward to listen..

Suddenly there was silence all around as Mr Prasad started with his story..
I lived in a small village called Rampur in MP...We were 5 people in the family...I, my wife..our 2 children and my mother..
There was a small school in the town were I was a teacher.I used to drive to the school by Luna, which was 30 kms from our village..Having great interest in painting, I used to try my hands on the canvas in spare time.

I believed in portraying the real India and its people..so all my paintings depicted the same..
Once , while I was drawing a portrait of an old woman of my village ,our principal came to my room..



He was astonished to see the reality and emotions that were attached with the portrait..
"I could feel the woman talking to me" exclaimed the principal..
You should go ahead and display the paintings at some exhibition , for sure you will get many admirers and if luck permits than some buyers too..For the meanwhile there are some of my friends who are known industrialists of this town and they will be really interested in your paintings..

I used to paint at my home as in school I had very little time for my passion..so most of my paintings were at rampur but getting them to the town on my luna was very troublesome..

It was Friday and I was about to leave for the day when I saw our principal accompanied
by 2 other persons..Mr Ramshah Singhal and Mr Deepak Sethi 2 renown names of the town..
Mr Singhal was a diamond trader and Mr Sethi was the owner of the only mall of the town..
Both of them were big admirers of art and artists..
They saw few of my painting which were kept there and were amazed to see the way I beautifully portrayed real India...

They were eager to see more of my work and appreciated each bit of it..

In starting I had some visitors visiting once in a week..But slowly and steadily more people began to pour in to see my work and than it became a daily routine...

I was very happy to see my work getting recognized by the biggies of the town, but than it became next to impossible to carry the paintings from Rampur to the town on Luna as rainy season had also started and there was no other medium available except for bus which used to be jam packed..

I started getting orders from many people to portrait different paintings for them..I earned some 50k in 4 months and had a saving of 100k but that was not enough to buy a car and also I was worried about the petrol prices that were climbing day by day..

But coming into talks of different people I bought the cheapest petrol car available in the market. Within 1 month of purchase it called for maintenance..The car was not at all fuel efficient , so half of my salary used to go in feeding it petrol which was at its peak prices..
My financial condition started depleting and one point came when I found myself struggling to even feed my family properly..Finally I had to sell the car so save my existence in this world..

Without car I again became helpless....:(
I had to miss out on many exhibitions as everyone was required to carry all their paintings to the venue which was not possible for me on my Luna
As time passed the number of visitors at school also reduced as most of the paintings there became obsolete.All my new art work was at Rampur which I was unable to carry along..
People belittled me for not delivering their paintings on time and compromising with the quality..But it wasn't my fault..sometimes rain while in other cases crowded bus, dust proved to be the culprits..My image was lost and so was my self respect..I was depressed and my world came to a standstill..

One day I and my friend Rahim were sitting together and discussing on my petty condition..he was a mechanic at Fiat showroom in the town..There is a new car in the market which is going to be released next month..It's called Fiat Fiabo..a diesel car which is as cheap as Tata Nano and has charming looks too...I was bewildered by hearing about such an amazing car..The next step was to book the car as soon as possible..I did that and waited for the next month to come soon..The day finally arrived when I was about to bring the new and sexy Fiat Fiabo home..
The service at Fiat Showroom was phenomenal and appealing...It took me just 1 hour to fill in all the formalities and take my darling home..




Now I was able to carry all my paintings and portraits to the school and different exhibitions..
The car was really light on my pocket as its diesel engines gave better fuel consumption and delivered better torque as compared to any petrol car..running life of diesel engines is also much better than petrol engines so I didn't had to worry much about its maintenance cost..
The only thing it used to drink was diesel which was way cheaper than petrol and so was easily manageable..

Suddenly i felt a surge in me..a surge to succeed..a surge to get my self respect back..a surge to drive my passion...For that month I gave my everything to get my trust back.
And the seed finally sprouted ,it was the most happening month of my life....well it took a bit of time for the people to visit my art kingdom again, but when the flow started it never receded..visitors started pouring in huge numbers..Everyone was pleased to see my new work and was excited to see more of my artistic skills..I was now able to deliver all my contracts on time with 101% quality..The magic started working again..

One fine day Shri Babulal Mukherjee a famous painter of that time came to the exhibition where i was also a participant. He was delighted to see my work and announced to take me as his disciple..It was a dream come true to learn under him...As time passed I started displaying my paintings along with him..With each exhibition I got new fans, admirers and popularity..Painters from outside India too became interested in my work..

On 12th July I had my first national level exhibition where the chief guest was US president Barack Obama..My work was appreciated and I was given the excellence in art award..Rest is story which everyone of you know...

I know that what I have achieved is because of my hard work, my near and dear ones support...but let me tell you one thing..There is a big contribution of this small car Fiat Fiabo which helped me to drive the road to success..
Today I have mercedes,bmw..but Fiavo still holds a very special place in my heart.
It still tops my priority list when i think of the word car..

I am also a nature and environment lover so from an environment perspective i can definitely say that diesel is far better than petrol, as the emissions are less harmful as compared to petrol..

At last I only have one thing to say from my past experiences with car, that once the car has been bought, diesel is always better for the owner than petrol.

My World... My Sony Cybershot

If asked about your first love, you may remember a secret kiss under a tree on the elementary school playground, a crush you had on a movie star as a teenager, or the first time your saw your spouse. There is another kind of love, however, that captivates us with its dreamy memory, promise of possibilities, and suggestion that we can do anything we put our mind to. That first love is found in the very beginning of our fascination with technology.

We all have gadgets, gizmos, and games that we hold near and dear to our heart. They either opened our eyes to the world of tech, or they encouraged us to explore even more - often leading to our current successes in education, career, and entertainment..



My close to heart..sweetheart is my Sony Cybershot..

I has taught me the 3 L's
love..laugh..and live life to the fullest..

I was a bookworm from childhood..not but interested in the outside beautiful world.I used to stay in the house ot play cricket.This was only my world.
Than one day my brother brought Sony Cybershot as he needed it for his college events and also beacuse he loved photography.

I was not much facinated by the gadgets and gizmos at that time as I had the aim of clearing IIT's and was all busy in its preparation..
Bhaiya used to click pics and edit them using photoshop on our dell lappy..




He was a good photographer and captured every image with a sense of perfection..He is a master of photoshop too..
Those were the images which made me realize that nature can be so beautiful..
My love for nature and its breathtaking beauty grew manifold after that.I started learning the art of photography and really enjoed it.
On all my trips either with friends or family I used to take my Cybershot with me.
I loved capturing waterfalls, sunset, water droplets on different objects post rainfall and many abstract items..
I used to edit them using adobe photoshop on my dell lappy..

It was my passion for photography which made me met the love of my life..We met at an exhibition as she too loved photography.

I and my brother had displayed few of our pics there and this gal came and started complementing them..
Fortunately I was also standing there and told her that this were my pics and blah blah....
Than we exchanged our no's and rest is story.

So from that day my Sony Cyber shot became 2nd love of my life..
well first you know well..:P
I am also thankful to my dell Inspiron , as without it I wont have had command over photoshop and it was not possible to give that extra touch and refinement to my images.

Today many people have started knowing me..appretiating me..
I have my love with me..and above all i started enjoying and loving a beautiful world around me..which i couldn't when I was a bookworm..

All this became possbile because of my passion for photography which couldn't be accomplished if I didnt had my Sony Cybershot and my dell inspiron


So here's an open love letter for my Cybershot

Dear Sony Cybershot

I fell in love with you since the day I brought you. My days are restless without your presence. You have became one of the most essential thing in my life.I can feel my presence every minute when i use you.You make everyday special.I love you because you put a simle on my face when i see you.You are beautiful.You are wonderful!You are always special to me!You are the reason for all my success and i wish to be with you forever Love you so much

Yours lovingly,
Ankit Jain


Here are few lines for my lappy as well..:)

my laptop is like no other.
He’s just like my little brother.
I cherish it every day,
And that is why I say,
that my laptop is like no other
He’s just like my little brother.

Whenever I feel quite down,
My laptop turns around my frown.
It comforts me,and can do anything I wish
Play music, save files, or upload a fish.
It can talk and beep,
and fall asleep.
And that is why I say,
It can do anything I wish.


This are some of the images I clicked which I adore the most
