WILLIE STYLEZ TECH REVIEW => First Look at Windows 8's New Interface for Tablets and PCs

via lifehacker.com

So What Does STYLEZ Think?

One of the comments on the site I got this video from mentioned they did not think it made sense for the Desktop version of the OS to have touch and tile interface. And I FULLY agree with them... to a point! The touch interface being "forced" upon the user is kinda over the top. BUT the one thing is, a lot of manufacturers are moving to touch-able desktops and laptops, so it really only makes sense (in the grand scheme of cross-compatibility) for the OS to fully exploit that AND (as it's pointed out in the video) give others the option of a more mouse-centric, non-touch interface as well. Previously it has been quite silly for M$ to think that their other OS's should have even been allowed to be called Tablet OS's JUST because they had an on-screen keyboard!

So, I must say, I LOVE the new interface. I don't have a touch-able desktop, but I do have a feeling that OS's like this will make it more appealing to own one. I mean, right now, using Win7 on a touchscreen is asinine! Just like Vista and XP before it, Windows has never been a touch friendly OS! But seeing where they are going with Win8 is very promising and so long as they learn to control memory and resource usage, and keep it fast & agile, then it will be A-1!

WILLIE STYLEZ TECH REVIEW => Sony's Android Tablets: Sony S1 & Sony S2

via pcworld.com

So What Does STYLEZ Think?
These Sony Android Tablets look pretty cool! Although the S2 reminds me of the Sprint Kyocera Echo, it has a sexier look and additional functionality that the Echo appears to be lacking. I am very interested to see how these fare in the real world!
The S1 is a 9.4in, slate-style, tablet with a custom Sony user interface on Android 3 Honeycomb, Nvidia Tegra 2 on the board, DLNA functionality, WiFi and 3G/4G capabilities. It appears to have a sleek glass look and feel in a wedge-shaped device. It is supposed to look like a folded magazine. It features an infrared sensor (dubiously missing from phones, tablets and other mobile devices over the past 2 or 3 years) which will allow it to control other devices in the house such as Sony Bravia TVs or Blu-Ray players! That is a huge plus! It is also Playstation certified so it will play 1st Gen Playstation games! And it also features dual-cams for snapshots, videos and making video calls.
As I stated before, the Sony S2 is a folding clamshell device with two 5.5-inch displays at 1024x480 pixels! It also runs Nvidia Tegra 2, a custom dual-screen interface on Android 3 Honeycomb, WiFi, 3G/4G, DLNA and is Playstation certified. The dual-screen interface allows you to do things like display messages on top and enter text on bottom screen. Or show a PS ONE game on top and control and manipulate the game from the bottom screen. It is purported to be small enough to fit inside a jacket pocket when folded despite its bulky appearance! The only downfall so far is this device only has one camera on the back for taking pics and video!
Look for these two sexy devices coming from Sony in the fall of 2011!

WILLIE STYLEZ TECH REVIEW: Samsung Galaxy Tab Tablet To Come In 7, 8 and 10-Inch Models?

Samsung Galaxy Tab Tablet To Come In 7, 8 and 10-Inch Models?

What difference does an inch make? If you ask Samsung, quite a bit apparently. The leaked 7-inch Galaxy Tab tablet will be joined by an 8-inch and 10-inch model several months after the August launch pitted for the 7-inch Android.

They'll go on sale first in South Korea in December, according to the Korea Herald, and will then be rolled out worldwide after that—presumably if the reception is favorable.

Leaked by the South African Twitter account for Samsung, all we know so far about the 7-incher is that it has "a high-res TFT screen," and "at the top-end it has a 3.5mm jack." Judging by the photo sent out on the Twitter account, it either has phone functionality or can be used with a VoIP handset. [Korea Herald via Samsung Hub via Phone Arena]

I am thinking that the 8" model is going to be more of a Premium counterpart to the 7", then the 10" will be their answer to the iPad. One of the comments on this posting mentioned, both 7 & 8 will be just as portable as any other large smartphone, but we all know that 9.7, 10 and 11.6 inch tablet/slates are not pocket friendly AT ALL!

One of the other commentors didn't like the fact that another 16:9 tablet was being released. I am not sure if he realizes that 16:9 everything (monitors, TVs, slates, laptops, etc) are all made because the "general public" is stuck on the widescreen (silver screen induced) craze! If someone released a square display on anything, talk about FLOP, it would be have RECORD lows in sales numbers because we are all now acclimated to wanting wide!

Anyway, we will see how it fares in Korea and see if we can get our hands on one here in The States!
