Why Not To Buy Cheap Android Phones

Listen, I understand the pain that comes with not being able to afford nice things. I really do. But for the love of everything mighty, do not waste your money, or stand by as your loved ones waste their money, on cheap Android phones.
Thanks to generous subsidies in the U.S., often only a few dollars separates a cheap Android phone from a top-tier model. With the exception of handsets like the Galaxy Note tabletphone, Droid Razr MAXX and Galaxy Nexus, all of which cost $299, there are a lot of quality Android phones to be had

Top 25 Android apps: The best of the best

Android now has over 400,000 apps to choose from. The Android Market may not have as many apps as the iPhone App Store yet, but there are still enough to be overwhelmed, and it’s growing at a breakneck pace. To help you sort through them all, here’s my list of the best apps I’ve found on Android. Again, remember that this is a snapshot in time. The Android platform is developing so quickly right now that I guarantee my home screen look different a month from now. However, you can also view my top 25 in the list below.

Android ICS running On A $149 laptop , looks like a MacBook Air

The term smartbook was coined a few years back to describe a laptop-like device that was running smartphone software. The product category never seemed to get much further than the pre-announcement and demo stage. But smartbooks might be giving it one more go with the THD N2-A, a 13-inch laptop running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
On the outside, the N2-A bears a striking resemblance to the MacBook Air. It has a big trackpad, slim wedge-shaped casing, and flat chiclet keys. The screen is LED backlit and runs at 1366×768. There is also a cloned MagSafe charging port, which I’m sure Apple would love to sue over. Inside the N2-A is more like a smartphone, albeit one from a few years ago. There is 1GB of RAM, but the ARM chip is a 1.2GHz single-core built on the older Cortex-A8 architecture. Storage is limited to 8GB of flash memory.

Five Reasons to Choose an Android Tablet Over an iPad

Most Android tablets have 2 cameras, an outward facing one and a inward one for video chatting.  Google’s native camera app also has some nice features that will let you alter your image, without having to download and edit it on your computer.

An early technology adopter, I purchased the iPad on the first day it came out.  I also got the original iPhone on the day it came out, and the first Google Android phone, the T-Mobile G1, within a month of its release.  Google even sent me their first unlocked Android phone, the Nexus One, to review when it came out. I like new toys and am not tied to any specific company; the one with the coolest or best features is the one that wins me over. Unfortunately, my iPad was stolen less than a month after I bought it.  Insurance covered the loss, but I did not rush out to buy a new one right away.  I got my chance to play with the iPad and while it was pretty cool, I found it to be more of an entertainment device than anything and it was lacking some key features – for example, a camera.  Apple will probably add some of those features with the upcoming release of the iPad 2, which some say is to be announced this week, but I’m sick of their game of intentionally leaving out features that consumers want and introducing it on a subsequent version so you’ll buy their product again. I want all the features I want right now.  Sure, I’ll probably buy another similar device in a year or two, but by that point I expected the features to once again be something new and cutting edge, not a feature that you opted not to include but most others did.
