TECH: Motorola Xoom 10.1 Tablet is a Real Value for the Money #MotoCalyp

Put a Tablet on your Holiday List...

I received a tweet today from a friend about how prices are being slashed on some computer tablets. I have seen that myself with tablets like the Motorola Xoom 10.1, which when first released, was priced around $600. But now, I have seen sale prices around $400 both online and in-store. Now that's a bargain that is hard not to talk about in some detail.

The Motorola Xoom 10.1 Wifi only model was $100 off on Target.com website last week

We all love a good bargain...
The Motorola Xoom has some great features for the money. When I researched the Motorola Xoom specs on the Internet, I found a list of great features that any tablet owner would love. And when I went into my local Target and Best Buy to check the tablet out in person, I found a really well made tablet that would be a hit with any family as a holiday gift.

The Motorola Xoom has a brilliant resolution

The Screen is a Winner...
Playing games like "Angry Birds" or watching an HD movie will be a great 1080p HD experience on the Motorola Xoom with its 1280x800 resolution. The Motorola Xoom 10.1 has a beautiful 10.1" HD screen and the resolution is stunning. It has a WXGA high definition LCD display with Anti Glare coating and Gorilla Glass. I have never heard of Gorilla Glass, so I did some research and found out that this special glass is made by Corning and is visually stunning, lightweight, and highly damage-resistant. And Gorilla Glass helps protect the screen from everyday wear and tear like some of the mishaps that can happen with our kids.

Flash for days...
If you like to view websites that use lots of Adobe Flash, the Motorola Xoom 10.1, as an Android based tablet, can support this feature without any issues.

The OS gives a PC like web browsing experience...
The Motorola Xoom 10.1 runs the Android 3.0 operating system known as Honeycomb which gives the tablet more features like faster speed and a richer browser that includes tabs, form auto-fill and syncing with Google Chrome bookmarks. I love using the tabs on my browser of my PC and it is cool to know that I can get the same experience on the Motorola Xoom 10.1 tablet.

Cameras for photos and chatting...
The Xoom has both front and rear cameras that both have great resolutions. The Xoom has a 5 MP rear-facing camera with dual LED flash and a 2MP front-facing camera for video chat.

4G and beyond...
When the Motorola Xoom was first released by Verizon, it ran on the 3G network, but this tablet is also 4G upgradable. So now the Motorola Xoom can also run on the Verizon 4G LTE network. So, if you buy this tablet from Verizon with a data plan, you will get your data at blazing speeds on the latest network technology.

Also, if you buy the Motorola Xoom from Verizon, you can use it as a Mobile Hotspot for up to 5 devices if you include that option in your data plan.



Motorola Xoom has double the storage & can be found $100 cheaper than competition

Data Storage Capacity is great...
If you plan to load lots of apps and download movies on your tablet, then you will love that the  Motorola Xoom 10.1 has a 32GB hard drive which is twice the data capacity of other tablets in the same price range.

The Motorola Xoom Family Edition is priced at $400.

While I was visiting the Best Buy Store, I found out the Motorola Xoom 10.1 can also be purchased as a special Family Edition.  The Motorola Xoom Family Edition is priced at $400, has a 16GB hard drive and contains software that lets parents control the content that your kids can view on the tablet.

Santa Baby, bring everyone a tablet for Christmas...
With the holidays coming up, the Motorola Xoom 10.1 would be the kind of gift that everyone would love to get under their tree :)

Tablet Wars - How to Research buying the Tablet that is right for you

Just a little research can help you find the perfect tablet that fits your lifestyle...

I have been eyeing tablets for a while now. Ever since I reviewed the Motorola Xoom back in March, my fascination has grown toward possibly owning one of my own. I own a smartphone, a laptop and a netbook, but there is something about a tablet that fills that in between space where checking email and streaming Netflix movies are just a better experience.

But there are so many tablets on the market, at varying price points and features, how do you find the tablet that is right for you? Research. Research. Research.

I found all the specifications of each tablet on the Internet

The Candidates are...
The tablets that I have been eyeing are the Apple iPad2 16GB, the Motorola Xoom 10.1 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. These tablets have all received good overall reviews. Each is around the same size with a 10 inch screen which is a good size for watching movies and checking mail while on the go. But the only way to find out all the features of each is to get some specs from the manufacturer - and I always like to start my search on the Internet.

Target is one of my favorite stores and while I was walking through their electronics department, I found that Target sells all three of these tablets. So I decided to start my search for specs on Target.com, where I found all the spec information that I needed.

I also wanted to see the tablets up close and personal so I went to both Target and Best Buy to handle them all.  Based on all my research, here is what I found out -

The Motorola Xoom has a brilliant resolution

Resolution: Motorola Xoom 10.1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Win
I want a tablet with a beautiful screen resolution so that I get a great picture while watching movies.  The Motorola Xoom 10.1 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 win with a 1280x800 resolution. When I reviewed the Motorola Xoom back in March, I remember playing Angry Birds and being awe struck by the beauty of the colors and graphics. The Motorola Xoom has WXGA high definition LCD display with Anti Glare coating and Gorilla Glass. The iPad2 has 1024x768 resolution on a LED display.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a super fast processor

Processor Speed: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 wins 
A fast processor makes for a more enjoyable overall experience and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 wins with a 2.4Ghz processor. The Xoom and the iPad both have 1.0 Ghz processors.

Motorola Xoom has double the storage and is $100 cheaper than the others..

Data Storage Capacity: Motorola Xoom 10.1 wins
I wants apps, lots of apps which means I will needs lots of storage. The Motorola Xoom 10.1 wins with a 32GB hard drive while the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 has a 16GB Hard Drive. I can get an iPad2 with a 32GB hard drive, but that will add another $100 to the $500 price. Ouch!

Apps: iPad2 wins
The Apple Market Place has tons more apps available than the Android Marketplace which makes the iPad2 the clear winner in this category. Since the Xoom and the Galaxy are Android tablets, they will continue to lag behind the iPad in sales until more Android applications are released for tablets. One of my requirements is to be able to check my email while on the go. One of my email accounts is through Comcast and there is no Comcast Infinity Mail app available for tablets in the Android Market place. Boo!

Flash: Motorola Xoom 10.1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 win
One thing that Apple has said will never be included on an iPad is support of Abobe Flash while both the Motorola Xoom 10.1 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 support this feature. I think it would be annoying to want to view a website that includes flash and not be able to do it.

Wifi-only or 3G/4G ???
Another feature to consider is if I want to have a Wifi-only tablet or a tablet that is locked to a wireless carrier like Verizon or ATT so that I can have a data plan with the tablet. Buying a 3G/4G tablet usually adds another $125 to the price of a tablet depending on the model. Since I am very price sensitive, I really don't want to pay for this feature. I would rather buy a 4G hotspot from a wireless carrier like Verizon and share the data connection with all my devices including my tablet, laptop and netbook.

Motorola Xoom can be found for prices up to $100 cheaper than the competition...

Price: Motorola Xoom 10.1 wins
I am very price sensitive and Motorola Xoom 10.1 tablet can be found at stores like Target for only $399.99 verses paying $499.99 for a iPad2 16GB Wifi or a Samsung Galaxy 10.1.

Weight: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 wins
I want to carry my tablet with me in my purse so weight is very important.  When I reviewed the Xoom, I remember how heavy that tablet is to carry around. At 1.6 lbs, it is a real heavy weight. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 weighs in at 1.2 lbs and feels like a feather is comparison to the Xoom.  The iPad2 weighs in at 1.33 lbs.

Xoom or the iPad2?

So which tablet is good for me?
Deciding which tablet to buy has been very hard for me because frankly, I want it all. I want the high number of apps that come with the Apple iPad2, the price, storage space and resolution of the Motorola Xoom 10.1, the light weight and processor speed of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the flash support of the Motorola Xoom 10,1 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10,1. The perfect tablet for me would be to buy two: The Apple iPad2 Wifi 16GB to carry around in my purse for on the go and the Motorola Xoom 10.1 for me and my son to use at home.

The Motorola Xoom is currently the best bargain for the money

But of the two, the best bargain is the Motorola Xoom 10.1 and everyone knows how much I love a bargain. I guess I will just have to find a way to win the other two tablets or maybe Santa will bring me all 3 for Christmas :)


Enjoy!

TECH REVIEW: 5 Reasons Women will love the new Verizon HTC Rhyme Smartphone

Back in August during the BlogHer conference in San Diego, I attended a HTC Insight Meetup were women bloggers met with HTC managers to talk about what we love and hate about our smartphones.  HTC wanted to know our thoughts on how women use smartphones and I was very happy to give my perceptive because smartphones are really becoming a staple in the lives of busy women.  So when HTC asked me to review their newest smartphone marketed toward women, I jumped at the chance.

For the past two weeks, I have been reviewing the newest smartphone from HTC on the Verizon network - The HTC Rhyme. This is the first smartphone that I know of that is squarely marketed at women. When I first saw the TV advertisement for the HTC Rhyme, I was spellbound in front of my TV. The ad shows a woman with 6 arms which is suppose to visualize how the HTC Rhyme's many features work together to make life easy for busy women.

I have found the HTC Rhyme to be a very "smart" smartphone that is stylish and comes with lots of useful accessories. It runs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) on a powerful 1GZ processor and comes with a 5mp rear facing camera and a VGA front facing camera for making video calls. The phone can also be used as a Mobile Hotspot for up to 5 devices. I have always loved the HTC Sense experience and I particularly loved the interface of the HTC Rhyme where the phone figures out and displays a tab of apps that you use the most. The phone also makes scrolling through the list of apps easier by scrolling a page at a time instead of a row at a time.

5 Cool Features...
This smartphone has a lot of great features, but there are 5 things in particular about the HTC Rhyme that I think women will really love:

1. The Color - I was wondering when a manufacturer was going to make a smartphone that is not basic black.  The HTC Rhyme comes in a pretty shade of purple that is very stylish. Plus all the accessories that come with the phone match in color.

2. The Purse Charm - This is a simple idea that is a blessing for those of us who carry our smartphones in our purses. The purse charm is a tether that plugs into the headphone jack. When the phone rings or you get an alert, the charm on the other end of the tether lights up to let you know you have a call or message. Then you can fish the phone out of your purse using the tether. Simple, but genius!

3. The Desk Dock - This is my favorite feature since I use my smartphone as my alarm clock.  The Rhyme come with a docking station that charges the phone and automatically puts the Rhyme display into landscape mode and shows the time and weather. The dock can also display photos and play music through the bluetooth speakers. And you will not be annoyed while sleeping by an overly bright display at night since the dock automatically dims the brightness after a few minutes or you can dim it manually with the press of a virtual button in the right lower corner of the touchscreen.

4. The Size - The HTC Rhyme is a very slender phone that weights under 5 oz.  I use both a Verizon HTC Thunderbolt (I call it "the beast" with its 4.3" screen) and a Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V (3.2" screen) and the HTC Rhyme is sized in between the two phones with its 3.7” WVGA Display. It fits nicely into most women's hands while being not too big nor too small.

5. The No-Tangle Headphones - I carry a set of small in-ear headphones in my purse and they are always tangled in knots when I need to use them. The HTC Rhyme comes with a pair of in-ear headphones that match the color of the phone and are very hard to get tangled because the cords are flat like a pancake.

3 Needed Improvements...
I really enjoyed using the HTC Rhyme, but there are 3 improvements that would make this smartphone even more attractive to women:

1. More Internal Storage - The HTC Rhyme is marketed at the woman who uses her smartphone for everything, which means she downloads tons of apps to turn her smartphone into all kinds of devices. But the Rhyme only has 4GB of internal storage and an 8GB SD card. I am always in the Android marketplace downloading more apps and some of my apps, like Google Music, takes up tons of storage. It took me close to an hour to load all my apps on the Rhyme and I filled up the entire 4GB of internal space. Most woman are going to load as many apps as possible. The reason I love my HTC Thunderbolt is because it comes with 8GB of internal space and an 32GB SD card. I think women would flock to the HTC Rhyme if it also came with 8GB of internal space.

2. Verizon 4G LTE -I was quite surprised to find out that the Rhyme is not on the Verizon 4G LTE network. Although Verizon 3G is still fast, Verizon 4G is lightening fast and what women would not want her data to load as quickly as possible using the newest Verizon technology.

3. A Docking Station with adjustable volume - It also would be nice if the HTC Rhyme docking station had speakers with adjustable volume. It appeared to have one volume level no matter if I had the phone's volume up high or down low.

Click here if video is not shown

The HTC Rhyme is a very nice smartphone that I think will appeal to women who want their phones to be an extension of their personal style and those looking for smartphones that will double as mini home entertainment centers. It has smart accessories that really should be included with all smartphones.

It will be interesting to see if other manufacturers also market phones targeted to women. I guess time will tell based on how well the HTC Rhyme does in the marketplace.

The HTC Rhyme is priced at $199 with a two year contract on the Verizon network.

Enjoy!

Disclosure: HTC loaned me the HTC Rhyme in order for me to try it out and state my unbiased opinion.  I was not compensated for this review.

FREE eBook listed every week on the Nook Blog for Freebie Friday

Freebie Friday on the Nook Blog lists a FREE book every week...

I love reading ebooks on my smartphone and I have a number of eReaders installed including Amazon Kindle and Kobo.  I just installed the Barnes & Noble Nook eReader when I found out that the Nook Blog does a "Freebie Friday" post every week where they feature a FREE book.  HOLLA!

There is only one thing that I did not like about signing up for a Nook account.  Unlike Amazon.com, Nook wants a credit card to setup the account.  I was able to get around giving them my credit card number by using an old American Express Prepaid Rewards Card number during the signup process.  It took the number and security code from the card without any problems.

Also, there's a giveaway for Parade tickets. http://www.buschs.com/paradegiveaway/index.php.

They will also be raffling a complimentary Parade Company Studio tour for any guest who signs up for MyWay during the visit.
