Is the iPad the only Tablet out there?

Posted on Updated on

No, there are better ones out there actually. Apple’s iPad isn’t the only thing in town. In some cases the Ipad is limited compared to what is out there. Here are a few with the basic specs listed. The tablets that have the Android OS come with the Google goodies like navigation, voice search, and flash to name a few. The iPad doesn’t have a few of those things. If you have any questions about any of these tablets hit me up and I can suggest one best suited for you and your needs.

The NEXT Google phone

Posted on Updated on

Google is coming out with a new phone after their first try at mobile communication failed. Their model of sale was going straight to the consumer to bypass retailers. The first phone was called the Nexus one. Spec wise it outdid/does many phones on the market today. (To give you an idea of its power it beat out the Droid in benchmark~ comparative tests.) They had a go with it for about 6 months then the ship went down only to have sold not as nearly as many as they expected. I’ve met a couple of Google employees that didn’t like their phone  employer issued phones and actually mentioned they didn’t like it. I’m sure they will love this new phone. It’s currently available at Best Buy for $199 with a new contract on T-Mobile’s network.
