Reasons To Switch To Android From Windows Phone

Recently I wrote an article about how Apple can "steal" a few customers from Android.Well,that will be a bit too harsh upon Android,I think.But don;t worry apple fans I am not gonna post the opposite. Obviously,because i think its almost impossible to detach Apple fans from Iphone.So I am gonna post reasons to switch to Android from Windows Phone.

1.Customisation

One of the things about Windows Phone is that it’s designed not to require heavy tweaking like the old Windows Mobile did. Instead, its customizations are designed to be more automated and content-based. For example instead of you having to go in and change a background image for a hub or live tile, things change automatically based on what’s going on. A lot of people still really like all of the power to dig under the hood and change things that other people probably wouldn’t have the time or desire to get into. This is another big reason why many of the old Windows Mobile users, who loved all the customizations they could do, have switched to Android which offers a similarly high level of manual customization options. Of course, you don’t have to tweak everything in Android, but then you might get bored with it pretty quickly.

2.More Apps

This is the gold standard complaint for new operating systems and it’s an especially prevalent mantra for Windows Phone even though in reality Windows Phone may very well support all of the apps you want. Of course there are instances where it does not, and for those you’ll probably have to switch to a different platform like Android.

3.More Features

Android has a lot more “innovative” yet perhaps not so useful features. If you want to be on the cutting edge of experimental stuff, Android is what you need. The whole 3D screens and cameras thing didn’t exactly catch on, but Android certainly had it. Maybe you think it’s cool to move icons around on your screen, by holding your finger on one and then turning your whole body to the left or right. Maybe you want to launch the camera by turning on your phone, holding a finger on the screen, then holding the phone up vertically and rotating it. Or maybe you think pressing a button to make a call is for suckers and would rather just hold the phone up to your head to start a call. There’s so many more of these strange new features coming to Android, where as Windows Phone still keeps things pretty simple and doesn’t add something unless it’s a little more thought-out first.

Windows Phone 7.5 Mango vs. Android 2.3.2 Gingerbread

4.Maturity

Well,everyone needs to admit that WP is still quite young,whereas Android is the elder brother.The project butter in Android has made things smoother and faster.So obviously,if you want an OS with experience,Android is your choice.

10 Reasons For Getting A Tablet Instead Of A Netbook

By: Danny Ashton

How people fancy technology nowadays is a fact that needs no denying. With the evolution of so many technological wonders, different products are manufactured by technology moguls to attend to the needs of people, specifically in the aspects of communication, information and entertainment. Two of the most coveted gadgets are the tablet and netbook computers.

Typically, the two serve almost the same set of purposes, but there are differences that can make one a better option than the other. Are you a pro-tablet or a pro-netbook user? Are you confused on which one to get?

Most of the techies, the colloquial term referred to gadget hobbyists, would say tablets are a better option. Why, exactly? The following are ten reasons why:

1. Weight is an issue, even in computers.
For travellers and people who need to bring computers for meetings outside of the office, bringing in an extra 2-3 kilos would be torture. Tablets could be as light as a thin book so it gets a star for that.

2. The tablet PC can lie flat in any working surface.
If you will be in a meeting with your boss, you would not want to block the view with a disturbing block of equipment.

3. The tablet just uses a special pen for keying in information.
Or in most cases, your fingers can just swipe away. If you believe it is about time to throw the mouse out of the house, a tablet is what you need.

4. Customizing your screen is much easier.
Unlike a netbook with so many settings and configurations, a tablet can be as personalized and customized as how you want it to be.

5. The accuracy of your inputs is better with a tablet than a netbook.
Since you can ditch the mouse and the confusing keyboard, you can have better access to your work and increase the accuracy of whatever you enter.

6. It is cheaper to buy a tablet than a netbook.
Price is an important factor in techie purchases, so if you wish to achieve better performance without spending all your money, better buy the most affordable tablet that you can find.

7. A tablet does not crash as often as a netbook.
System crashes are almost always inevitable, but a tablet is easier to troubleshoot and configure.

8. Travelling with a tablet means getting your own handy tour guide.
It would be difficult to use your netbook while getting around a foreign place. Opening a netbook, flipping the monitor and typing on the keyboard while listening to it go clickety-clack is one great challenge, particularly if you’re onboard a packed train.

9.Reading your e-books would be a breeze with a tablet.
Because there is no need for the mouse for scrolling, reading an e-book from a tablet is just like reading from a clipboard full of notes. You can also zoom in and out of the e-book interface with ease, and change the screen orientation according to your preferences.

10. The tablet PC is cool, in all senses.
Seriously, a tablet PC is a portable gadget with a wide-screen, touch-sensitive monitor that encompasses almost all features that you need—what else is there to say?
