Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 & 10.1 will use PLS screen technology

Jeff — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 19:24:56 +0000

According to AnandTech, new Samsung tablets will have PLS screens. PLS technology is expected to be better than IPS and 15% cheaper. Viewing angle is excellent, as you may see in the video below:

I’m definitely will be getting Galaxy Tab 8.9 also due to following features:

1280×800 on 8.9 inches – 170ppi pixel density (iPad tops only 132ppi)
Only 470 g, 16×23 cm – highly portable
8.6 mm thin
$469 for WiFi version

DYI holders for your phone and tablet

… not always working as you planned. Just see this video:

I think manufacturers should implement a standard mount for tablets like the widely used VESA mount for flat panel monitors and TVs.

45 000 tests prove Android browser is faster

Great analysis from Blaze comparing browser performance:

We set out to discover which mobile browser is truly faster – when used on real sites. Our goal was to measure the true mobile browsing experience, and see which device comes out ahead. 45,000 page loads later, this report summarizes our conclusions. We can now give a definitive answer to the question: which browser is really faster, from a user’s point of view?
The results surprised us.

First of all, we found that Android’s browser is faster. Not just a little faster, but a whopping 52% faster. Android’s Chrome beat iPhone’s Safari by loading 84% of the websites faster, meaning Safari won the race only 16% of the time. While we expected to see one of the browsers come out on top, we didn’t expect this gap.

Secondly, we saw that despite the optimized JavaScript engines in the latest iPhone & Android versions, browsing speed did not get better. Both Apple and Google tout great performance improvements, but those seem to be reserved to JavaScript benchmarks and high-complexity apps. If you expect pages to show up faster after an upgrade, you’ll be sorely disappointed. Read on to get more info about both findings, as well as additional comparisons such as WiFi vs. 3G and mobile sites vs. regular sites.

New phone concept with three flexible touchscreens

Jeff — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 18:25:54 +0000

Dual-screen tablets look bulky, I like the idea of Asus Eee Pad Slider more. But this three-panel phone concept by Kristian Ulrich Larsen is cool, just watch the video below – this thing has a lot of uses!
