The Development of Tablet PC

Many people think of tablets as large smartphones, but the difference is much bigger if you talk to an app developer. While the larger screen is definitely something to contend with, there are other hardware components and layout issues to consider when developing an app for a tablet. These are the major differences that you should consider when making anything for the tablet platform.

Screen Size

Most smartphones have a 4-inch display while tablets have a 7-inch or 10-inch display. This might seem like a small difference, but it’s not. The app developer must enlarge the app to fit the tablet’s screen without distortions. While the app can stretch by itself without any tweaking, this will usually lead to problems such as blurry graphics and slow loading times.

The screen size also facilitates a more complex layout. For example, an email app for a smartphone tends to have one major screen. This same layout will look clunky and huge on a tablet PC. It’s better to add different sections to the layout so that it looks natural. While this won’t apply to all apps, such as gaming apps, it will affect many functional and organizational apps.

Graphics

If you are creating an app for the iOS, the resolution and graphics can remain mostly identical since the iPhone and iPad have nearly the same resolution in terms of dots per inch. If you are producing an app for the Android environment, then bigger doesn’t always mean better. There are many budget tablets that have low resolutions.

You must create your app so that it can conform to these different resolutions. You can usually do this by allowing users to change the quality of the app’s graphics.

Processing Power

Tablets commonly have better CPUs for two reasons. One reason is because they are bigger and it’s much easier to add a larger CPU into the body of the tablet. The other reason is because tablets are generally used similarly to laptops, which means that they must be strong enough for this type of usage.

This allows an app developer to create an intensive app for a tablet that may not work on a smartphone. If you have been planning to create an app that needs a lot of power, then consider developing it for the tablet platform.

Integration

While smartphone users want the ability to integrate apps with their desktop, most tablet users demand the ability to integrate both smartphone and tablet apps. This is because tablet users are usually more into technology than people that just have smartphones. They want to use the app on both a tablet and smartphone without losing their place.

If you build an app for the tablet platform, then ensure that it can easily integrate with your smartphone version of the app to keep users happy.

Connectivity

One of the few areas where the smartphone is better is connectivity. The vast majority of smartphones are constantly connected to a 3G or 4G network. While there are many tablets with this type of connectivity, there are also others that lack this ability.

Try emphasizing offline activity when creating an app for tablets so that those without 3G or 4G connectivity can still use the app.

Tablets are wonderful, but they present challenges for app developers. You have to change the layout and resolution, and you must also ensure that your android tablet software integrates with the smartphone app to keep people happy. If you consider these differences when building an app, then you should have no problem creating a program that is great for the tablet platform.

Motorola Xoom tablet PC is packing a 10-inch screen

Motorola has one of the more popular Android tablets on the market today with the Xoom. The Xoom hasn’t racked up the kind of sales it needs to compete with the iPad. To help ramp sales Motorola recently cut the price of the Xoom WiFi tablet to $499 in hopes of luring more buyers from the iPad 2. A rumor has surfaced today that Motorola is working on a new Android tablet that has some interesting specifications.

The speculation is that with the Motorola and NVIDIA cooperation the new tablet will be using the Tegra 3 Kal-El processor to make it into a super tablet. The rumored specs sound pretty impressive; we will have to wait to see if they turn out to be true. The tablet is expected to ship in late 2011 or early 2012.

The rumor claims that the tablet is packing a 10-inch screen with an amazing resolution of 2048 x 1536. The tablet is also said to be in the hands of testers already for its beta shakedown before launch. Another interesting fact about the rumored tablet is that it is said to run Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Other hardware specs are unknown right now.

Mini Android PC From EachMall

In a previous entry, I pointed out some of the interesting mini-computers that are now out there.  The most well known of these are the Rasberry Pi and the BeagleBoard.  These mainly run Linux, tho there is work being done to put other OSs on them.

I think from a research perspective, these give some interesting avenues of investigation for security matters.  Especially at such low cost, one could have several devices to test against.  Instead of having a rack of full blown PCs, one could have several such mini PCs.

For those wanting to research Android security, things seem kind of slim.  I don’t like the idea of using my own smartphone for such work, tho I could see using a separate pre-paid Android phone for this.  But that could still get costly.

Another alternative is the Mini Android PC available from, well, Mini Android PC (another company selling similar items is Timing Power).  They sell several models, even ones with dual and quad core processors.  The more recent ones have Android 4.2.1, which isn’t THE latest version.  I think they would be useful to do some testing. 

An article I came across did some comparision between the Rasberry Pi and a couple of the Mini Android PC, but with the idea of using them as desktop replacements, which I think is a bit too ambious.  
And I discovered there are several companies putting out this mini Android PCs.  I found a recent article that looks like a good overview of them on eachmall.com.

Anyone have experience using them for security research?  Any stories to tell?  Please comment.

APC Android Mini PC

Via Technologies only put its new APC Android PC system up for pre-order in the last 24 hours and its already sold out. Just three weeks ago Via took the wraps off their new barebones Android mini PC

Which is capable of running Google’s latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) operating system, and just like the popular Raspberry Pi mini computer, has now sold out in the first day of being available.

Equipped with a VIA WonderMedia ARM 11 SoC at 800 MHz processor., the mini PC system supports 720p HD video with hardware acceleration, and includes 2 GB of flash storage, with 512 MB of integrated DDR3 SDRAM.

Other features include a microSD card slot on the back panel for storage expansion, VGA out, HDMI out, four USB 2.0 ports, audio outputs, and Ethernet.

Android 4.1 Mini PC – Another arrival from China

So I went ahead and made my first purchase on eachmall.com – After being a member for over 2 years,a mini PC .Postage took about 10 days which is twice as fast as some Chinese eBay-ers. No customs charge. Woohoo!

As it is all open source and runs on any ARM9 the quality is – what it is. You cannot compare it to anything else. So that is always worrying since it comes from China.

We gave it a quick test run at work. Plugged it into a monitor, plugged a USB mouse in. Booted in 30 seconds. The main menu is a bit weird, but everything is there  Settings, appstore, facebook, youtube and media player and media share.

Just using a mouse I was able to connect to WiFi with the on screen keyboard. Then I could search anything on Youtube using the on screen keyboard again. Everything is drag to scroll. The scroll wheel did nothing and right click is “back”
We palyed an HD movie of Youtube on a 22″ screen. And it was really good. All I want this to do is play movies on my new photo frame. (I wanted to use Raspberry Pi but there is no OpenGL:ES support for it yet – as of writing now)

Over all for £40 delivered, it is a nice piece of kit to take apart and stuff into my photo frame. Nice thin is my wireless blue tooth keyboard will work with too. (or Wifi remote access?)

MK802 Android 4.0 Mini PC’s as a potential music server

Synchrotech lent me a MK802 Android 4.0 Mini PC Smart TV Player for a weekend. Since I don’t have a television at home with HDMI, I borrowed an HDMI monitor as well.

I had never used an Android device before, but aside from some interface clunkiness, it wasn’t too hard to navigate around on the device. While many people have touted the device’s video playback, internet, and gaming abilities, I was far more interested in its potential as a power efficient music server.

At home I have a Bose Wave® radio II, but I don’t always want to start a computer to use Soundlink—which inevitably requires a time consuming Bluetooth re-pair almost every time I use it. Nor do I always want to use with my iPod, which due to its capacity, has song file bit-rates that sound somewhat flat on the Bose. I’ve always wanted a reliable, but inexpensive music server with a wired connection to the Bose that had ample storage and a usable interface. Preferably with the capability to play FLAC or ALAC. Synchrotech had already tested the MK802 with USB Hard Drives, so there’s no worries about large music collections.

While the specifications for the MK802 Android 4.0 Mini PC don’t list FLAC as one of its audio CODECs, the specifications for the Android 4.0 do, so the first thing I wanted to try was FLAC playback. It turns out that FLAC files play just fine on the device. I also tested a variety of MP3 and AAC files with the MK802. Things were looking pretty good at that point.

 

Playing FLAC audio files on the MK802 Android 4.0 Mini PC Smart TV Player

If there was one issue I had with the native Android audio player was that it didn’t display the album artwork for any of the files tested. I asked a friend who has had a variety of Android phones and tablets and he said that he wasn’t sure why that was happening, and suggested I try other music players like Spotify and WinAmp for Android. The former has problems with the screen orientation for the MK802 and promptly displayed its interface upside down. No matter what we did, we couldn’t get Spotify to display correctly. Hope that’s something that will get fixed in the future. We couldn’t get WinAmp for Android to run at all on the MK802 Android 4.0 Mini PC, even though we installed it via Google Play (née Android Marketplace). Any other suggestions for a robust music player better than the built in version are welcome. Displaying album cover art is pretty much a must considering it’s a unit for TV display. A visualizer like the one in iTunes would be a nice bonus too. What did run well was Pandora, but unfortunately that doesn’t give us the option to play our own files.

I’m looking forward to another loaner unit in the future to run more experiments.

Android Mini PC: The Next Tech Revolution?

After a Christmas delay, I’m back with another article! Thanks for reading my previous article on The Gingerbread Problem.

With streaming devices like the Roku, Apple TV, and Google TV set top boxes highly available, it seems that consumers have a lot of choice when it comes to consuming media. These devices allow users to stream and rent video from many different services but have very limited app selection, can be expensive, and each have their own drawbacks and limitations.

But what if I told you that was about to change? That there is a growing market in the tech industry just around the corner that can very well shape the landscape the way tablets did?

A device that has all the internals that a Android tablet has but with no screen. What it does have is a HDMI output that allows it to connect to your existing HD television. All while running on the latest version of Android with a dual core processor and smaller than any set top box on the market.

The asking price?

A mere $60 USD.

This is an Android Mini PC. A device that makes your dumb HDTV into a Smart HDTV. A device capable of vast media playback and support for over 700,000 Android applications. An Android device without the screen.

A device filled with endless possibilities.

Now this article isn’t meant to say who had the idea first or to be an exact retelling of history. It is meant to be an outline of the product that is an Android mini PC.

Android Mini PCs are a relatively new product. The concept is simple. A small device with good internal specifications, running the latest Android, and an HDMI output for the screen. This allows a user to have access to the best Android has to offer on their big screen television. Imagine checking your E-mail, using over 700,000 apps in the Google Play Store, watching videos, listening to music, or browsing the web all from the comfort of your couch.

In order to interact with the device, since there is no touch screen, you need a USB keyboard for text input and a USB mouse for touch input. There are Air Mouse controllers that can duplicate a touch like input with a built in keyboard as well as the standard keyboard and trackpad combos. These input devices work rather well and most certainly make up for the lack of a touch screen.

But where did these devices come from? How well do they work? And which one is best?

The answer is not so simple.

Best Bang For Your Buck  By  Anakin Levy “Gonker”

I have done my research on the Tablet Android for a couple of months and I can say that this unit is the best value for money.

If you want to compare an iPad not waste time.

IPad starts at $ 499 – more than double the price!

For the price, is by far the best tablet I tried!

I have this drive for watching movies and photos on clear long walks outside and responds perfectly!

Even if I am in hotels, picks up immediately and Wi-Fi is connected.

The kicker is if you do the research unit, with smaller screens, less memory and less versions of the Android operating system are there for the same price!

Why spend more for less ?!?!?

I tried several before settling Android tablets 6 in this case (I will not name names) – The Sylvania SYTAB10MT is for me!
