Samsung galaxy note 8 vs. iPad mini
Just like other Samsung’s other tablets, the new tablet comes with a stylus pen which allows the user to write, highlight or draw on the screen and is capable of showing multiple apps on the screen at the same time just like the previous Samsung galaxy s3 or note 2. Today, we will compare the specs and other features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and Apple iPad mini.

Size
Samsung galaxy note 8 vs. Apple iPad mini size
Compared the 7.9-inch iPad mini, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8.0 is a bit larger in every dimension.

Weight
Samsung galaxy note 8 vs. Apple iPad mini weight
Today’s high advanced manufacturing technology has made both devices relatively light, but the iPad mini is 30g lighter than the Note 8.0.

Display
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs. Apple iPad Mini display
In this aspect, The Note 8.0’s display is a bit sharper, at 189 pixels per inch (PPI).

Processor
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs. Apple iPad Mini processor
To make sure everything runs smoothly, Samsung’s galaxy Note 8.0 powers with its Exynos 4 Quad chip, the same one found in Samsung’s phablet, the Galaxy Note II ,.
Apple gave the iPad mini a last-generation A5 chip, first introduced in 2011's iPad 2.

RAM
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs. Apple iPad Mini RAM
The Note 8.0 quadruples the iPad mini’s mere 512 MB of RAM.

Storage
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs. Apple iPad Mini storage
The Galaxy Note 8.0 will come in 32GB and 64GB versions. Samsung throw the 16GB model away for the Galaxy note 8, but has a microSD card slot, unlike Apple’s mini-tablet.

Wireless
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs. Apple iPad Mini wireless
Both tablets ship in both Wi-Fi-only and Wi-Fi + mobile data models. At least in some regions, Samsung's will be LTE-capable. Apple also offers a (pricier) LTE iPad mini.
But the Note 8 support make phone calls in some regions.

Battery
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs. Apple iPad Mini battery
Samsung’s note 8 (4600 mAh) has a big battery than the iPad mini (4440 mAh). But you should remember many other factors also determine actual battery life.

Cameras
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs. Apple iPad Mini camera
Samsung and Apple both realize the Cameras are rarely the most important part of a tablet. Both of them offer a 5-megapixel rear camera for the two devices. The Note 8 has a 1.3 MP front facing camera while the iPad mini has a 1.2MP front facing camera.

Intangibles
The unique pens on the Note 8 can be used to write, highlight and draw. The screens also sense when the mouse hovers over the screen, providing an equivalent to the hovering mouse cursor on the PC. However, few third-party applications have been modified to take full advantage of the pens.

Android’s tablet app selection is improving, but here iOS is still King. Apple now had over 275,000 iPad-specific apps in the App Store. Google Play's selection often defaults to stretched-out phone apps. Fortunately, these will look a bit better on an 8-inch screen than on a 10-inch tablet. I give the huge advantage to Apple in this area.

The Galaxy Note 8.0 will be available for purchase in the second quarter of this year, Samsung said. The company did not list a detailed price for the device while now the iPad Mini costs $330. So which one is your favor? Welcome to Show your thoughts below.

Wine for Android will allow you to run Full-Fledged Windows apps, someday

Posted by Unknown Minggu, 03 Februari 2013 0 komentar
Several days ago, I have introduce you how to Get Windows 8 Metro-Style Live Tiles on Your Android Device, but have you imagined run Windows apps on your Android smartphone or tablets? Yes, one day, you may be able to run Photoshop CS6 or old version on your Samsung galaxy S3 or other mobile devices. Well, that may one day be a reality and Wine for Android is on the way.
Wine for Android
Wine (WINdows Emulator or Wine Is Not an Emulator) is an open source application that allows Windows applications to run on other operating systems like Linux and Mac OSX. The project features the software library Winelib, against which developers can compile Windows applications to help port them to Linux.

Alexandre Julliard, the original developer behind Wine, showed off Wine on Android on Sunday in Brussels. Phoronix describe the demo's performance as "horrendously slow," but this was simply because Wine was running on an emulated Android environment, rather than on an actual device.

At this point, the ARM version of Wine on Android is functional, but far from practical, while a stable version of WINE for Android would allow you to run some x86 Windows apps on ARM Android phones and tablets, it probably would be more practical on larger screen devices than on a 4 or 5-inch smartphone. With a 10-inch tablet, for example, imagine pairing the tablet with a keyboard dock and booting up serious productivity software like Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop. This could certainly help close gap between what can be done on an Android tablet versus a full Windows/Mac/Linux PC.

All in all, a workable version of Wine for Android won’t be release-ready for quite some time temporary, but this proves that it is really a good starting point and of course will improve with time. What do you think, would you like to see WINE for Android or not? Welcome to leave your comments.
