The Dell Latitude 10 Tablet PC may impress in style and power but the overall Windows 8 experience is a letdown, writes Redza Imran

DELL'S latest addition to its PC(Android 4.0 Tablet PC)line up now includes the Dell Latitude 10 Tablet PC. It's geared for the business power user and comes with numerous options to integrate the device with existing remote systems management solutions such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) or Dell KACE.

The look and feel of the Latitude 10 are great with its magnesium alloy casing and sturdy Gorilla Glass screen. It boasts an Intel Atom Dual Core Processor, 2GB DDR2 SDRAM, an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator graphics card, a 10.1 inch IPS Wide Angle LCD which supports 10 Finger capacitive touch, 64GB SSD Hard Drive, built-in speakers, microphone and a 2.0MP HD front facing camera.

There are also the USB 2.0 jack, SD card slot, Dock Connector, Stereo headphone/microphone combo jack, micro USB charging port and mini HDMI port.

It supports Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, though some foreign models will offer SIM card compatibility.

Battery life is rated at 10 hours with the two-cell (30Whr) Lithium Ion Battery which can be swapped out should you buy the optional extra battery.

The instant start-up or always-on feature is nice to have in this device, making it feel more like a tablet that you can carry around than a notebook.ONDA V972

My previous experience with Windows 8 for PCs hasn't been great, and this Tablet hasn't changed that view. The interface isn't as intuitive as the iOS and the settings menus always seem to react differently, depending on the page you're on.

This can be disorienting if you're not familiar with the interface. Changing simple settings like background colour or the background image was a bit of a chore. The Metro interface isn't as easy to curate as it is with the Mobile version and some of the programs aren't able to work properly.

I especially hated the way this PC handled videos. Even after updating the various programs, the Video widget which was supposed to play whatever video was in your library could not properly play a video file, resulting in jerky playback.

The video images themselves were poorly lit, with bad contrast, which is surprising since its supposed to be an IPS screen. Perhaps this was a limitation of the software because the rest of the time, images on the screen were crisp and bright. In any case, the jerky playback ruined any sort of enjoyment I would have gotten from using the Tablet.

Another annoying feature (or the lack of it) was that Windows 8 did not automatically call up the virtual keyboard in the Desktop view as it would in the Metro view when you're trying to type.

You constantly had to call up the keyboard yourself in order to get to it, which shouldn't be the case. I'm sure there's a setting for this to happen, but I couldn't find it after 15 minutes of searching and just gave up.tablet android

The tablet does get warm to the point of being uncomfortable if used for too long a stretch. It is a wee bit heavy at about 660g, but due to its size and nice-to-touch materials, the weight shouldn't bother you too much. The camera took poor quality pictures, but I suspect it's just there to be used for video-conferencing.

Record complaints about mobile phone insurance

A record number of complaints are being made about mobile phone insurance.The Financial Ombudsman(JIAYU G4) Service says it dealt with around 600 between April 2011 and 2012.But it is expecting a 25% increase on that figure when the numbers for the current financial year are gathered at the end of this month.

However, it says those complaints are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to people unhappy with their insurance provider.Twenty-three-year-old Kim Martin from Thetford says her phone is lifeline for her: "I plan my days by calling people I need to, emailing people, keeping in the loop with all my friends and friendly."Basically I use it for everything."Scratched' replacement
After accidentally ruining her phone when a bottle of fruit juice leaked in her bag, she didn't get the service she was expecting.
She was sent a refurbished phone to replace the new one that had been broken.
"The silver was peeling off the edges of it," she said. "It's scratched in a few places and was marked and that's how it came."I could tell it was second hand as soon as I took the wrapper off. But it worked pretty well to start off with so I was happy with that.

"[But now] it's freezing, it doesn't charge properly, the battery runs out really quickly, it tus itself off now and again, it doesn't pick up signal. The list is endless really."Martyn James form the Financial Ombudsman Service said: "We uphold more complaints about mobile phone insurance than virtually any other(UMI X2 ) product we look at."It's round about three quarters of all the cases we see."The Association of British Insurers says the complaints only represent a tiny percentage of people who have mobile phone insurance and that it's working hard to bring that number down.

That's not good enough for Kim who, as well as a £26 monthly contract, pays £12 to her bank for mobile phone insurance every month."I've paid them £720 in total, plus my £50 excess, so really I don't know how they couldn't afford to give me a brand new phone."

Who has not in view of contrails in the sky or engine noise ever wondered where the aircraft are on the road, flying there in up to eleven miles Elevation (or even much lower) than his own head away? (onda v972 quad core)The Inteet provides a quick and accurate response. For within the World Wide Web, there is a network of transponders, which transmit this exact flight details. The access is free of charge.
A few decades ago there was something fascinating to stand on a highway bridge and watch the traffic. Today symbolizes the aircraft wanderlust, so there are, for example, at the airport in Munich several vantage points on the action on the runway and the take-off and landing runways. But even at home on the computer people can, if they have some wanderlust to pursue, where does an airman from and where it's going.
This requires no radar station. More and more aircraft are equipped with the Automatic Dependent Surveillance transponders (ADS) feature, which ensures non-stop surveillance. Below are all Airbus and Boeing all civilian models. Such a transponder sends information to the aircraft type, position, flight number, speed, altitude and direction of flight planned from freely received. This radio signal can be recorded by anyone with a receiver and evaluate. A device to cost around 500 euros. In addition, an antenna for around 100 euros is required in order to rece(quad core android)ignals from all directions. The range is 200 to 300 kilometers.
Such high investment is not even necessary to lea to see what aircraft or just heard. For around 200 private owner of such ADS receiver have come together in a network "Flightradar24". Thus it is sufficient to access the network-side flightradar24.com to gain access to the information. The site recognizes from the IP address of the user, in which country it is, and shows an overview map, appear within a few seconds, depending on the time of day, more or less airplane symbols. Each corresponding to a jet, which is located in the air. Three to four times per minute, the display is updated - after all, the aircraft traveling at high speed and to change their position accordingly. In the related Google map can zoom in, so that, for example, the Upper Rhine region, the Black Forest and Lake Constance(Android 4.1 Tablet PC) can represent large. Very quickly, the thicket of yellow jet thins symbols and it shows, run where the high-use air traffic streets. Naturally, be observed in the approach and take-off area of ​​the Zurich or Stuttgart airport much air traffic.
A click with the left mouse button on one of the aircraft symbols on the right side of the screen opens a window with lots of information. Under a photo of the flier shows the airline, departure and destination, type, registration number, rate of descent, the flight direction in degrees, height in feet and meters and the speed in km / h and miles. The covered course is represented by a blue line, and if the plane in the waiting room "Rilax" is circling over the Black Forest, there appears a loop on the screen.
However, the user should check whether Flightradar24 actually contains consistent data. Because sometimes it happens that in particular at the start or destination airport erroneous information can be found. Since it may be helpful to follow the trajectory that Flightradar24 records by clicking on the map. Besides this small shortcoming, there is a caveat: Halfway comprising the information is only in Europe. Here there is a very dense network of ADS-receivers, which is why about 90 percent of air traffic are detected. It looks very different from North America. This is only in the immediate vicinity of some airports, such as Seattle and Los Angeles, a tracking of aircraft on the screen possible.
As fascinating as the reception of the aircraft data is at home on your PC or laptop, so exciting it can be outdoors at any time to access the data. There are two versions. The free version displays the map together with the airplane symbols. A tap supplies the information to the flight line and the ringing of the aircraft. Who wants to know how fast, where and to where the machine is on the way, must buy the "Pro" version. Practically, the coupling to the geographical location of the Apple devices and smartphones. It shows the software a Map of the region and the aircraft that are within traveling.
Which of the jet observation is so excited that he wants to buy an ADS recipients might even be part of the way Flightradar24 network. An e-mail to the owner of the website is enough to do so.

creator of the performance tablet category, today announced a new innovation for hybrid PCs that delivers uncompromised mobile PC(android tablet pc) experiences when in tablet mode or when connected to its base keyboard. Hybrid PCs are a new market segment between full notebooks and pure tablets that AMD plans to demonstrate, along with stand-alone performance tablets, at Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona, Spain next week.
AMD Turbo Dock technology[1] automatically adjusts performance of the AMD accelerated processing unit (APU) higher while a hybrid PC is docked and being used for more complex tasks like content creation. Likewise, AMD Turbo Dock is designed to lower power consumption when in tablet mode, helping to save battery life and extend movie or video watching, as well as web browsing time.7 Inch Tablet PC

"With our latest APUs, AMD aims to deliver a more complete, full-featured experience on tablet and hybrid PCs than has been available to date," said Steve Belt, vice president of AMD Ultra-low Power Products. "AMD Turbo Dock technology delivers on that promise by dynamically adjusting to what the user is doing to provide the optimal experience and battery life whether they are watching a video, playing a DirectX 11-supported game or building a PowerPoint presentation for work."

AMD Turbo Dock technology is expected to appear this year on equipped hybrid systems built around the system-on-chip (SoC) codenamed "Temash" with AMD Radeon™ HD graphics. "Temash" is AMD's latest ultra-low power, mobility processor for Windows 8 tablets and hybrids that delivers five times the graphics performance of the competition's x86 tablet solution[2].(best quad core tablet pc) Demonstrations at Mobile World Congress will include leading-edge applications and games on both quad-core and dual-core versions of the processor built with 28nm manufacturing technology.

"IDC research shows that two of the top demands tablet owners have are speed and a high resolution display," said Tom Mainelli, research director for tablets at IDC. "Balancing performance on high pixel density screens with user demands around battery life is essential to a great tablet experience. Technologies like AMD's newest generation APU 'Temash' aim to meet those needs."

Tablet PC Ownership Tips
One downside to tablet PCs is that there are some security risks to consider. However, this is true to some extent for any device that can access the Inteet. The best way to avoid these problems is to improve security.
Here are some helpful tips for avoiding security risks with your tablet PC:
- Do not give out personal information without verifying where it is going. Ensure that only trusted parties receive this information, or else the risk of identity theft is greatly increased. It can also lead to spam emails and other malicious messages from jamming your in box.
- Verify all information that an application requests. Some applications will ask for permission to perform administrative tasks, so it is important to verify that this is actually necessary. For instance, when applications suspiciously want permission to use the tablet's webcam, it might be an infected program.
- Only use banking applications that the bank has officially released. Using third-party applications is dangerous and increases the risk of identity theft.
- Update the tablet on a regular basis. These updates are released regularly to ensure all exploits are patched and contain all fixes necessary to avoid any future security problems.
- When not in use, tu off the Wi-Fi or GPS capabilities. This is advised to avoid any rogue applications from exploiting your device for malicious purposes. Similarly, it is advised to use Bluetooth carefully and disable it when it is not in use. When it is on, ensure it is either hidden or not discoverable by other devices. quad core tablet
- Only download applications that are deemed trustworthy and legitimate. If you have a doubt whether an application is legitimate, do not download it to your computer.
- While it is possible to "jailbreak" most tablet devices in order to access various other features or perform tasks too advanced for the basic functioning of the tablet, doing so poses a major security risk. Avoid such tactics in order to achieve the perfect balance between keeping your tablet secure and useful.
A tablet PC has many benefits and can be a very exciting tool. Taking a few easy steps to ensure your device is safe from security threats can help deliver years of carefree and enjoyable use.

Canonical today is unveiling Ubuntu for tablets, a touch-based interface supporting screen sizes of anywhere from 6" to 20", and use cases targeting both businesses and the home.
The announcement is hardly a surprise given Canonical's recent unveiling of Ubuntu for smartphones, with the first handsets expected to ship in October. Canonical hasn't told us when it expects hardware vendors(quad core android tablet) to ship tablets running Ubuntu, but it's possible Ubuntu smartphones and tablets are on the same schedule.
As previously reported, a developer preview of Ubuntu for phones is scheduled to be released on Thursday of this week. That phone preview can be installed on the Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 4. It tus out the developer preview for tablets will also be available the very same day, and it can be installed on Nexus 7 or Nexus 10 tablets. A software development kit that supports phone app development will be updated to support the creation of tablet apps.
"Installable images and source code will be available from developer.ubuntu.com," and Canonical employees will install Ubuntu on your phones and tablets in person if you visit their booth at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week, the company said. A Canonical spokesperson told us that the code coming out Thursday is an early build and "not ready" for in-depth reviews and tests.
UPDATE: Canonical now says it expects mobile devices to ship with Ubuntu in Q1 2014. The October timeline reported earlier was just for the software, not actual devices.YuanDao N90FHD
Canonical provided us with a press release in advance of today's announcement, and founder Mark Shuttleworth will talk to press on a conference call today. We will follow up with more details after that call—Canonical declined to answer any of our questions in advance.
Like Ubuntu phones, Ubuntu tablets can become full PCs
For now, let's talk a little more about what we know. Ubuntu for tablets will run on ARM chips (at least), supporting screen sizes from 6" to 20" and resolutions from 100 to 450 pixels per inch. Just like Ubuntu for phones, an Ubuntu tablet can be docked with a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to provide a full PC experience.
Although Ubuntu is supposed to run smoothly on entry-level tablet hardware, the docking can only happen with "high-end silicon." Canonical did not specify what types of chips are required for Ubuntu tablets to double as PCs, but with phones the requirement is a quad-core Cortex A9 or Intel Atom processor and at least 1GB RAM. While it stands to reason that Intel chips would be supported on Ubuntu tablets, the announcement we have doesn't mention any specific processor platform besides ARM.
Tablets in PC mode will be able to access Windows applications remotely through standard protocols from Microsoft, Citrix, VMWare, and Wyse.
Canonical is clearly targeting businesses with the aforementioned Windows support as well as full disk encryption, support for multiple user accounts on a single device, and an IT management tool covering Ubuntu servers, PCs, smartphones, and tablets. "An Ubuntu tablet is a secure thin client that can be managed with the same tools as any Ubuntu server or desktop," Stephane Verdy, head of enterprise desktop and thin client products at Canonical, said in the announcement.
The tablets aren't business-only, though. A one-minute video Canonical showed us yesterday displays a very Kindle Fire-like experience in scrolling through available TV shows and movies. The video also shows that the tablet interface is largely similar to the Ubuntu phone interface but obviously scaled up to the bigger screen size.
Just after this story published, Canonical posted an additional, longer video with Shuttleworth describing the tablet experience:pipo m1 tablet pc rk3066
The tablets will support split-screen multitasking, as we saw a user making a video call on one part of the screen while manipulating a business document on the other side. "Ubuntu allows a phone app on the screen at the same time as a tablet app," Canonical's announcement said. Canonical calls the ability to have two apps on-screen right next to each other "side stage." It looks like it operates similarly to the Windows 8 "snap" feature, which snaps two applications next to each other.
Canonical has been promising that Ubuntu will ultimately provide one operating system for phones, tablets, desktops, servers, and even supercomputers. Some of the design decisions for Ubuntu on the desktop do seem to have been geared toward bringing Ubuntu to touch screens. The application launcher—a customizable list of icons on the left side of the Ubuntu Unity desktop—is being brought to phones and tablets to provide quick access to apps. Further, the Ubuntu Dash tool for searching one's desktop has been expanded to allow search of both local files and the Inteet (notably, with Amazon search results baked in). It looks like that same universal search will be front and center on the Ubuntu tablet interface.
Voice control can be used to manipulate the Ubuntu tablet interface's heads-up display.
Here are some more of the features of Ubuntu for tablets, as Canonical describes them in its press release:
Secure multi-user: Multiple accounts on one tablet with full encryption for personal data, combined with the trusted Ubuntu security model that is widely used in banks, govements and sensitive environments, making it ideal for work and family use.
Voice controlled HUD productivity: The Heads-Up Display, unique to Ubuntu, makes it fast and easy to do complex things on touch devices, and transforms touch interfaces for rich applications, bringing all the power of the PC to your tablet.
Edge magic for cleaner apps: Screen edges are used for navigation between apps, settings and controls. That makes for less clutter, more content, and sleeker hardware. No physical or soft buttons are required. It's pure touch elegance.
Content focus: Media is neatly presented on the customizable home screen, which can search hundreds of sources. Perfect for carriers and content owners that want to highlight their own content, while still providing access to a global catalogue.
Full convergence: The tablet interface is presented by exactly the same OS and code that provides the phone, PC and TV interfaces, enabling true device convergence. Ubuntu is uniquely designed to scale smoothly across all form factors.
Who will sell Ubuntu tablets? That's to be determined
One of the big questions for both Ubuntu phones and tablets is who will build them. Being able to install preview software on Nexus devices will be nice, but Canonical won't reach a major audience unless smartphone and tablet manufacturers get on board.
Canonical said that hardware manufacturers won't have to start from scratch, because Ubuntu for phones and tablets will run on pretty much anything that already runs Android. "For silicon vendors, Ubuntu is compatible with any Linux-oriented Board Support Package (BSP)," Canonical said. "This means Ubuntu is easy to enable on most chipset designs that are currently running Android."
