See how to become guest author in spice up blogging. The Galaxy Tab lineup of Samsung is being really large – there is the Galaxy Tab 8.9, the Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, the Galaxy Tab 7.7, the Galaxy Tab, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, and now the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is less expensive than the previous versions and it runs Android 4.0. The price of this tablet is $249.99. Nook Tablets, Kindle Fire, and BlackBerry PlayBook are the real competitors of this product. Let’s find out more about the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.

Design

It is much similar to the 7-inch Galaxy Tab. The back of the tablet is a matte grey plastic, and it is pretty comfortable to hold. The ports and buttons have been laid out much like the Galaxy Tab 7.7. On the right side there are power and volume rocker buttons. There are two stereo speakers and the headphone jack on the top. You will find a microSD card slot on the left side.

Display

The 7-inch display with the resolution of 1024 x 600 is fine, but it is not a match for 1280 x 800 Super AMOLED Plus display. The bright screen of Tab 2 has great viewing angles, and it is very responsive. It is prone to fingerprints and glare. 

Software

As it runs Android 4.0 you will get pleasant experience of utilizing the OS. It is now much easier to open and close apps, and scrolling has been improved significantly. Also some of the major apps have been improved. The browser zooms and pinches better. The TouchWiz UI skin performs very well. The quick-access menu has been expanded. A little bit of changes can be found in the keyboard. 

Applications

Though the tablet experience has been improved with the help of Ice Cream Sandwich, the problem associated with the lack of good Android apps remains the same. Some apps are increasing, but they are very limited. Some of the popular apps include Grand Theft Auto, Evernote, Dropbox, Amazon Kindle, ChatON, AllShare, Game Hub, and Media Hub. The benefit of using Dropbox on Tab 2 is that you will get free Dropbox storage of 50GB for 1 year. Peel is one of the best preinstalled apps. It is a visual TV guide which can even control your home theatre stack. 

Cameras

We must admit that the camera of Tab 2 is not so good. There is no autofocus, which means you will get very unfocussed and blurry images when you shoot anything farther than four feet. Even the in-focus shots are noisy and soft. And the video quality is also dark, noisy and poor. 

Battery Life and Performance

The Tab 2 includes the 4,000mAh battery. During our test we found it lasted for 2 days with regular use. The Tab has been powered by the 1GHz dual-core TI processor and 1GB of RAM which is sufficient to run any tasks efficiently. 

Conclusion

Good things about Samsung Tab 2 7.0 include long battery life, light and thin, runs Android 4.0 and inexpensive. And the bad things include terrible cameras, lack of good tablet apps and poor displays.

Jump From Windows 7 To Windows 8 - Benefits Of Upgrading To Windows 8

This is a guest post and our author is charles, he explains why upgrade to windows 8 is necessary. See how to become guest author in spice up blogging. Its time to install Windows 8 on your PC! The Start up screen featuring Modern UI is what distinguishes Windows 8 from Windows 7. Well, this is not the end! Windows 8 OS has many other latest features to offer to you besides its revamped interface. Cloud service for account sync, novel ways of personalization of the desktop, multi-monitor settings and so on, are some of the primary enhancements of this operating system.

This recent invention of Microsoft’s operating system offers a set of new tools whose correspondent feature is not available in the Windows 7 OS. Let’s check out the features…

Revamped Multi-Monitoring Settings 
Microsoft has added a number of improved features in Windows 8 for enhancing the settings of multiple monitoring. With every display, you can enjoy different backgrounds and taskbars. You get all the new features in the traditional desktop. The Inside-edge detection enables you to have access to the Running Apps and Charms bar. Whereas in Windows 7, you can either get the displays or treat more than one monitor as one single display area.

Storage Spaces
This feature is an improvised version of the older Windows Home Server. With the help of this, you can manage the external as well as the internal storage drives like one huge drive known as the storage pool. The additional advantage of this feature is – all your data is duplicated in multiple drives in ‘storage pool’ for creating redundancy when there is single drive failure.

Picture Password
This is areal new thing for the new operating system. It’s really boring to use the conventional rule for password with alphabets and numbers and characters. Windows 8 brings an innovation in the password; it offers you the support for picture password. For creating a picture password, you have to select any of the photos from the image library and make three gestures on it by combining taps, straight lines and circles.

Automatic Change of Window Color
There is a new feature in Windows 8 for automatic adjustment of window color in traditional desktop to comply with the background image. For instance, suppose you have the picture of the sky, the taskbar and window changes to blue color. Again, in case you have image in brown hues, taskbar and windows will turn to brown. So, now you can beautify your desktop as you want!

Speedier Startup
The boot time in Windows 8 is much faster than Windows 7. Thanks to the latest hybrid system Microsoft has introduced in this new OS. In this new hybrid system, there are processes of hibernation and cold boots. The use of multiple cores with parallel to boot delivers less time in starting up of the operating system.
These and many more such advantages can be enjoyed with Windows 8 OS. Install this operating system and have a great time computing in a user-friendly interface! Once you start using Windows 8, you cannot use any other operating system. It’s a bet...
