Google Nexus 7 tablet review

Google Nexus 7 tablet review: for wide, but not deep, pockets

It's small, cheap, has limited storage (and no expansion) and no HDMI out. Is Google's long-expected self-branded 7in tablet - made by Asus - a challenger in this space?

When the iPad first came out, with its 4:3 aspect ratio and 9.7in screen, lots of people were quick to call it a "just a large iPod Touch" - even though the aspect ratio alone indicated that it wasn't, and the performance and interaction quickly reinforced that.

Well, those people don't have to worry any more. Here's Google's Nexus 7 "tablet", with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 7in screen (measured, as they all are, on the diagonal). And we can happily say that this is a "large" Android smartphone. Except it only comes in a Wi-Fi version.

Windows Phone 8

8 features that define Windows Phone 8

With Windows Phone 8, Microsoft has managed to get the same platform running on computers, tablets and phones. ET highlight some of the hot new features of the newest mobile operating system. 

Better Hardware
Windows Phone 8 adds support for multicore processors (dual core/quad core) with Qualcomm being the exclusive chipset manufacturer. Initial devices will come with 1.7Ghz dual core processors (Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Plus) with Adreno225/305 graphics. Another significant hardware addition is support for external storage via microSD cards. A major gripe, all current Windows Phone devices are limited to the internal memory and do not have a microSD card slot.

Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1

Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9 are holding the fort at the $400 price point, reduced from around $500 to compete with the flood of Android tablets out there. Both models are scheduled to receive an update to ICS sometime during Q2 2012, when the new Galaxy Note is also supposed to arrive. Otherwise the Sony Tablet S, which has received high marks for its unconventional yet ergonomic design, is also available for ~$400.
Asus' Transformer Prime is only available in 32GB and 64GB varieties starting at around $500 (used to be a hundred more bucks only a week ago). The Taiwanese firm is pitching this as a premium tablet, with plenty of power courtesy of Nvidia's Tegra 3 chip and some neat add-ons like a keyboard dock -- if you're willing to part with another $150. The Transformer Prime has received plenty of praise but that enthusiasm hasn't been backed up by huge sales volume.
Regardless of that, Asus plans to keep pushing out powerful tablets in the coming months. The upcoming Transformer Infinity will up the ante with a high-resolution 1920 x 1200 pixel 10.1-inch Full HD display and optional 4G, while the Padfone will essentially combine a smartphone and tablet in one package.
Lastly, we have the Kindle Fire. Amazon is one of the few players that bet on a low-cost tablet coupled with a host of tightly integrated services. It's far from the most powerful device out there, but as we've learned already, tablets are about the whole experience and specs are only part of the picture. This strategy -- together with Amazon's sales platform and expertise -- has resulted in the best-selling non-iPad tablet. No doubt, Amazon will follow with a second generation Kindle Fire sometime this year, but nothing concrete has been revealed thus far.

Motorola FIRE

Motorola FIRE

Like many other Motorola models, the FIRE is a quirky handset with some positives that go through the roof and some limitations that make the phone seem less attractive than what it actually is. At 600 MHz, the FIRE seems anything but fiery from a processing power perspective, but it has additional Graphics support with an in-built Adreno 200 GPU to support high resolution activity. The phone has a 3 MP fixed focus camera and the display is a 2.8 inch capacitive touchscreen. It has a decent battery life but it cannot tether or be a hot-spot. At 7,500, FIRE is the cheapest phone in our list.
