Iphone vs google phone
The entry of google phone has made lot many speculations a reality now. You can compare this google phone with the famous iphone. In this article about iphone vs google phone I will like to make some step by step comparisons. Let us first consider the keyboards. This google phone has physical key board. The iphone has virtual tapping keyboard. The touch screen keyboard is not easy to operate. They have less accuracy as compared to physical keyboard. When you want to play any game, the physical keyboard will give you many complicated features as compared to touch screen tapping keyboard. The google phone scores over the iphone in the keyboard feature. The second feature is the battery. In case of iphone you get sealed in battery. You will have to send the device to apple factory for changing this. In case of google phone you can swap this battery and you can also add more songs or programs using micro SD slot. This means the removable and expandable parts give google superiority on this iphone. The third important feature is integrated comp-ass in google phone. The iphone does not have this feature. It is clear that google phone is better than iphone in this respect. This feature will be developed in future for the hikers. The google application is in the integrated form in case of google phone. You can access the google calendar application off line also. In case of iphone you get google calendar application through web only. You can replicate the online program to offline status very easily in case of google phone. This means you can use them in the areas where this service is not available. In this integrated google application features this google phone scores over the iphone. Multitasking is another area where this google phone scores over the iphone. The apple was pioneer in the computer multitasking programs. But unfortunately in case of iphone there is not much of a multi tasking possible. In case of google multitasking is possible and their copy and paste feature will be of most important use. It is not clear presently however how this multitasking can affect the performance and memory of the phone. Are there any areas where this iphone scores over this google phone? Yes of course! This iphone is best portable media player and google phone is not. In the future you do expect the developments in this direction. But there is no built in feature in google phone. The iphone is slimmer than this google phone. The iphone has multi touch function. This is not available in the google phone. They have some other features in this place. But the iphone does score over the google phone in the multi touch functionality. The head phone of google phone is terrible. In case of internal memory with 8 GB and 16 GB iphone scores over the google phone’s 192 Mb on board memory and 1GB micro SD card.

Kindle review
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010Kindle review
The Amazon Kindle is a portable reader that wirelessly downloads eBooks, blogs, newspapers and magazines to a high-resolution electronic paper display that seems like and even feels like real paper and not just indoors but even in bright daylight. The Kindle, which is approximately the size of a paperback book, made its debut in November 2007, and since that time, it is estimated more than 200,000 Kindle readers have been sold. When introduced, Amazon touted the Kindle as a “revolutionary and innovative portable reader that allows its users to wirelessly download eBooks in less than sixty seconds and automatically receive magazines, newspapers and blogs without the hassles of a PC or a laptop and no hunting for Wi-Fi hot spots.” After nearly a year in the market and used by thousands of people, feelings about the Kindle are mixed. Some love it and sing its praises, but equally mixed in with the raves are those users who were left wishing for just a little bit more. That being said this reviewer found very few outright unsatisfied customers. By far the best and most appreciated feature of the Kindle is the device’s free built-in wireless connection – no PC needed. That means you can download books and periodicals without having to connect to a PC, which is required by other readers. There is also some limited Internet access. However, at this point in the product’s development the Internet access is not a main selling point as it lacks a true Web browser. Second to the wireless capability, the Kindle also provides a high-contrast screen that provides an electronic-paper display. This display looks and reads like real paper. Rather than choosing to go the back-lit route like other e-readers, the Kindle’s technology makes it appear paper-like and is infinitely easier on the eyes. This enables readers to use the Kindle in the same well-lit environments that you’d read a traditional book including outside. Other features are it’s built-in keyboard for notes, it’s SD card expansion slot, and it’s compatibility with Windows and Mac machines. On the flip side of the pros, a major complaint with the Kindle is the device’s design. This complaint is leveled in large part due to the Kindle’s cover. The cover has been described as “clumsy” and “poorly designed” and is not comfortable in the reader’s hand. Furthermore, due to the casing being made of plastic, as opposed to Sony’s metal casing, the Kindle feels cheaper in-hand. While the design is ergonomic, it’s definitely not the most attractive e-reader on the market. Additionally, at $350, the high up-front cost, which is a complaint leveled against e-readers in general. Other complaints include content pricing and the annoyance of having to email Amazon for additional file format conversions. All in all, it’s a great electronic device for readers, but with rumors of a newer version on the horizon, it might also be worth the wait.

Free 3d animation programs – the aniboom example
Sunday, October 24th, 2010Free 3d animation programs – the aniboom example
Maybe most people don’t realize it, but there are few feelings in the world that can compete with the feeling of creating your own art; especially art like animation that moves, literally and figuratively. But it is hard enough to have your computer do what you want it to do on one picture; doing hundreds in a series to make a film could be the ultimate artistic challenge. For the longest time, animators in training learned their craft with no more a sophisticated tool for their work than a flip book: they would draw frame after frame each on a separate sheet of paper and flip through them to see their results animate. This might have been a reasonable way to get things done 50 years ago; with an entire movie studio on everyone’s desk today in the form of a PC though, this no longer makes sense. Additionally, peer review is a big part of today’s learning process. If you have a proper animated film that you made, you can easily share it with your peers over the Internet; this can hardly be done with a flip book. If you want to start out in real animation, but if you don’t know how to fund your interest, the answer to your problem is Aniboom, the free online 3D animation program that is found on the Internet. Aniboom is online software that allows you to make and share your animated creations on the Aniboom website or anywhere else; all you need is a computer and access to the Internet. Aniboom is open to anyone with the talent and skill to create computer animation. Let us run through the Aniboom website to see what this virtual animation studio concept makes possible. On the Aniboom website on the top of the screen, are different tabs for different functions. The “Create” tab gives you a brief explanation of how everything works; once you’re done, you can click on the Shapeshifter button. A short explanation later, you can launch the Shapeshifter function. The Shapeshifter function opens presently and it is not a complex-looking application either. But this function has some very deep capabilities. The page has a little tutorial that can get you started with the basics. The tutorial shows you how to animate a bouncing ball. The Aniboom Shapeshifter does all of this using a very familiar concept, one of a flip book. In the project box in the Shapeshifter, you can pick a shape from among many provided, and use the mouse to shape it in all kinds of ways. Now all you need to do is animate the shape you just made. As in any animation program, discovery is made through exploration. When you’re done, you can download your creation to do with it as you please. Aniboom is important because, it helps people find an interest in animation through free animation software, both 3-D and 2-D. This is what is great about the Internet age: the tools and the means of distribution for animated art are so freely available that there are sure to be more and more people who discover their talents.
