iPad Mini VS Google Nexus 7 VS Amazon Kindle Fire HD – Which is the Best 7-inch Tablet?

With the introduction of the iPad Mini Tuesday, Apple hastens its goal of getting its products in every consumer's hands and also leaves buyers of small tablets with more choices. To dominate larger tablet market and fight its rivals down, the 7.9-inch iPad Mini retails for as low as $329 and is thinner and lighter, even adding 4G support. While, it is too soon to say that the iPad mini could win the tablet war as the previous iPad. As we know, several 7-inch Android-based tablets are so hot and have already occupied the market in advance, such as Google's Nexus 7, Amazon Kindle Fire HD and Barnes & Noble's Nook HD. If you want to pick up a 7-inch tablet for pocket, which one you would pay your money for? Let's continue the discussion from specs and services to compare iPad Mini, Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HD.

Review based and beyond the specs

The iPad mini will go on sale on the Nov.2, and Apple will accept orders from the Oct. 26. But both the Google Nexus 7 and the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD are already on sale. It is very obvious that Apple iPad Mini is relatively expensive than the other 7-inch tablets those all starts the price at $199. Will customers of small tablets leave iPad Mini away concerning about the price? No! Certainly existing Apple fans will gravitate toward it. What iPad Mini brings to users is also perfect experience!

Even though the screen resolution of iPad Mini lacks Apple's crystal clarity and is lower than its rivals, it is even more prominent with the same 1024-by-768 resolution as iPad 2. Because that iPad Mini reduces the width of the bezels on two sides of the display and rethink the software behind it to make sure giving you the maximum amount of screen in the minimum amount of space. In addition, the entire package of iPad Mini weighs a slight 308 grams - making it lighter than its rivals.

The iPad Mini's A5 dual-core processor running at 1GHz could easily fall to the Nexus 7's quad-core CPU. Of course, but we can't deny that Apple's A5 is powerful and power-efficient which makes everything you do feel smooth and natural. And without testing we still don't know how performance stacks up.

What should be mentioned is that iPad Mini offers a cellular option of 4G LTE connectivity. In other words, without access to Wi-Fi, you can enjoy the ultrafast cellular network connections around the world — including LTE7 and other advanced wireless networks such as HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA. It is a great advantage comparing Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HD, and will certainly help flood the market.

It is still hard to say which wins. After all, there are different demands for each product and the lower price of Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD. Furthermore, the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD already target slightly different audiences from the beginning. The former lures gamers, multimedia enthusiasts, and Android fans looking for the "pure" Jelly Bean experience. The Fire HD is a steal for Amazon Prime members looking to maximize their Amazon membership while keeping tablet costs low, memory high, and the screen mighty.

You must be very anxious! In my first blog, two NBC Olympic apps had been suggested for people in USA. But you are out of America, so now I am going to advise one more app for you, especially the guys in Britain. 

BBC Olympic is the new and first app on Android and iPhone developed by BBC. “The app adds even greater value to the BBC Sport mobile experience, ensuring you never miss a moment of the Games.” Says one general manager from BBC. It offers you direct coverage of the Olympics from the UK, and also allows you to follow all the actions, with daily live text commentaries, breaking news and top stories from all the key events and medal moments. Each of the 36 Olympic sports, every athlete and country has their own page with medal tallies, news stories and key facts. Moreover, you could get minute-by-minute live text commentary during the live action, comprehensive schedule and results service which help you stay in touch with all the Games and results as they happen. In addition, it also has the function of sharing stories, videos and results on your social networks.

However, nothing is perfect! Its IOS app only can run on iPhone, not iPad. Even though its android version is for handsets with OS 2.2 or above, the users need to install flash to be able to watch videos! What a disappointed! If the BBC Sport app wants to become a serious competitor to others then there should be a need for an iPad and non-flash video functionality.

Best App for Challenging Your Olympic Trivia

I believe everyone worldwide is very excited that The 2012 London Olympics is just around the corner. Are you sure you are ready? Do you know the Motto of the 2012 London, and its unique features? How about the famous competition and top players in swimming? Yes! We still need to review some common sense or amazing facts about Olympics, otherwise someone besides you will poke fun at you while watching games! Here is one wonderful Apple app I suggested to make it up for Olympics.

You can imagine that how glad and proud of yourself you are because you know more trivia than your friends. The app “London 2012 Game” collects thousands of events and files covering all the summer Olympic Games for us. In other words, you can challenge thousands of Olympic-focused questions! If you are tired to play this app alone, you could save your best records and share on Facebook to invite your friends compete with you. At the beginning, you will find you know little about Summer Olympics, but one week later, you will become an Olympics encyclopedia.

By the way, if you realize some events and players are interesting and useful for you and your friends and neighbors. How about searching more details such as photos and videos on line, and making PowerPoint presentations according to different themes. That is also a good idea sharing online especially when you convert your PPT to video.

Watch Olympics Live? Just Install two Free Apps for your iPhone and iPad, Android!

As the 2012 Summer Olympics in London is coming soon, maybe you still worry and wonder that how to squeeze time for newest results about  your favourable athletes or watching them competing live, regardless of your boss and your better half. Now NBC help you solve it. NBC launched two free Olympics apps on Thursday that will help users watch every moment in the Games live from their mobile devices. They are NBC Olympics Live Companion and NBC Olympics Live Extra, both free and available now for the iPhone, the iPad, and Android phones/tablets.

NBC Olympic Live Extra 

With this live app, users of Apple and Android can keep up on every event and view every moment of the Olympic games live for free, wherever you are. You also can replay full event. Its Push Notification will remind you of the upcoming games. Before the games it can relive the Olympics Beijing and provide online listings schedule for you.

 NBC Olympic Companion

A companion app, called simply as “NBC Olympic”, offers you a second screen experience during the on-live broadcasting. Not only can You get real-time results, schedules and medal counts, but also check out additional news and bios of your favourite team and athletes, and join other fans on Facebook, Twitter and Google +.

Can’t wait for London? These two apps is available to free download in App Store and Google Play Store. You will need to have cable, satellite or telco TV subscription for live event coverage. What disappointed is that these apps will leave owners of Windows or Blackberry devices, even Amazon’s Kindle Fire tablets in the cold.
