The Toshiba Satellite is a line of consumer-grade notebook computers marketed by Toshiba. Models in the Satellite family vary greatly – from entry-level models which are sold at major retailers to full-fledged media center-class notebook. The latter are labelled Qosmio added alongside the Satellite name.
The Qosmio models tend to have added features like two hard drive bays, multiple graphics cards, a large number of input/output ports of varying design, unique case styling, LED backlit keyboards, significantly more powerful sound systems (built in subwoofer and amplifier) and carry the latest features.

Since the world is well versed in all things about Apple, iPads and their related electronics accessories, we’ll take a bit of a shortcut in this review of the Apple iPad Mini to make a comparison between the latest gadget and similar products in the Apple line.
Size: The main selling point for the iPad Mini, Apple has this product perfectly positioned for those seeking something more substantial than the iPod but slimmer and trimmer than an iPad. At dimensions of 7.87” x 5.3” (200mm x 134.7mm), the Mini is almost exactly 40% smaller in surface area. You couldn’t tell so by the 7.9” screen, however, which maintains excellent 1024 x 768px resolution.
Additionally, its 308 gram weight – making the Mini about half as heavy as the iPad 3 – and its razor-thin 7.2mm thickness make the iPad Mini a dream to carry.
Power: The up-to-date Apple iOS naturally serves as operating system in the iPad Mini, and the dual-core A5 house-producer processor keeps the new device as speedy as its predecessors, which set benchmarks for tablets in the area.
Features and functionality: The first iPad Minis to be released in the first week of November 2012 will only have WiFi capability, but Apple is expected to release models with LTE wireless and/or Bluetooth 4.0 compatibility by month’s end. All iPad Mini models will sport two cameras (one of 5MP), an improvement on recent single-camera Apple devices.
Price: As though the iPad Mini needed more appeal, suggested retail for an iPad Mini with 32 GB of storage is set at $329. The newest iPod Touch with the same amount of memory can go for $299. Do you think both Apple faithful and newbies alike would pay $100 more for this more screen and real similarity to an iPad? You bet they would. And probably should.
It would already be trite to proclaim the iPad Mini as another feather in Apple’s cap, so we’ll avoid doing so. The only question now is just long it will be before a dozen imitators are spawned, as the standard iPad tablet did not so long ago…
The device went on sale in Europe on 3 November 2005, at a suggested retail price of €349 to €369 (£245 in the United Kingdom).[2] In the United States, the device became available for purchase through Nokia USA’s web site on 14 November 2005 for $359.99. On 8 January 2007, Nokia announced the Nokia N800, the successor to the 770.[3] In July 2007, the price for the Nokia 770 fell to under USD 150 / EUR 150 / GBP 100.[4][5]
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is an Android-based tablet computer designed and manufactured by Samsung, introduced on 13 February 2011 at its Samsung Unpacked event in Barcelona.[2] It is part of the Samsung Galaxy Tab series, and features a 10.1-inch display and a 1 GHz dual-core NvidiaTegra 2 processor.
The Eee Pad Transformer Prime is a tablet computer with a 10.1″ IPS+multi-touchscreen with a resolution of 1280×800 and an NvidiaTegra 3system-on-a-chip (SoC). It has a 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi module and a microSD card reader.
The optional docking keyboard features full QWERTY keys, trackpad, one USB 2.0 port and one Secure Digital (SD) card reader as well as an additional battery that increases overall battery life from 12 hours to 18 hours. There is also a sleeve which protects the tablet when not in use. This has similarities with the iPad 2 Smart Cover, but folds in an origami like fashion.[4]
The Sony Xperia X10 is a previously high endsmartphone in the Xperia series designed by Sony Ericsson. It was the first Sony Ericsson smartphone to utilize the Android operating system. The phone was shipped with Android 1.6 (Donut), but an upgrade to 2.1 (Eclair) was made available starting 31 October 2010, with a gradual international rollout.[3] Originally, Sony Ericsson stated that the X10 would not receive an upgrade to Android 2.2 (Froyo) or beyond,[4] but the phone was later upgraded to 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) with the updates starting on 29 July 2011.[5] Continue reading →
The iPhone 5 is a touchscreen-based smartphone developed by Apple Inc.. It is the sixth generation of the iPhone and succeeds the iPhone 4S. The phone is a slimmer, lighter model that introduces a higher-resolution, 4-inch screen to the series with 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. The phone also includes a custom-designed ARMv7 processor called the Apple A6, an update to Apple’s mobile operating system known as iOS 6, and support forLTE.
Apple held an event to formally introduce the phone on September 12, 2012. Apple began taking pre-orders on September 14, 2012 and over two million were received within 24 hours. Initial demand for the iPhone 5 exceeded the supply available at launch on September 21, 2012, and has been described by Apple as “extraordinary”, with pre-orders having sold twenty times faster than its predecessors. After the launch of the device, Samsung filed a lawsuit against Apple, claiming that the iPhone 5 infringes eight of its patents. Continue reading →
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is here. One of the most anticipated handsets in a while, Samsung took the wraps off the device at a glittering event at New York’s famous Radio City Music Hall.
For those who weren’t lucky enough to get into Radio City Music Hall, Samsung also gave fans a chance to join the live stream from Times Square.
Needless to say the likes of the HTC One, Sony Xperia Zand the now aging iPhone 5 have some pretty meaty competition, so here’s our complete lowdown on the new handset.
Nokia’s research and development team have kicked it up a gear with an attractive “aeon” concept phone showing up in the R&D section of the company’s website. The most prominent design feature of aeon is a touchscreen that stretches over the full surface area of the phone, similar to BenQ-Siemens’s Black box concept phone we saw recently. Currently mobile technology isn’t quite up to realizing this fantasy, but we’ll sleep better tonight knowing that at least one of the cellphone industry’s biggest names shares the same dream as we do — BenQ’s dream didn’t count,unfortunately.
