As you may know, I love 7 inch tablets, they are for me the perfect size between mobility and utility. Mobility, the 7" can fit in a pant pocket, not very classy but it fits, also it holds in the hand and utility because, the form factor is ideal to simulated a book or notepad, it also perfectly fits in a car to be used as a GPS or a multimedia station.
Now let's talk about this Huawei Mediapad, also known in the USA as the T-Mobile Springboard. The first impressions are very positive, the build quality is surprisingly good. The aluminum body gives the device a excellent look and feel. Ju... » Read More
According to XDA developers, it would seem that ZTE would have forgotten a back door in the different Android devices available on the market. According to the developers who discovered the issues, it seems any apps that would know how to request access (legitimate or not) would be granted with root permissions.
It seems this is a forgotten engineering tool and it should have been removed in the production rom but still be aware and careful when you install any new app. Please, read the statement from shabbypenguin:
problem is as you can see from the pastebin all it requires is just a sim... » Read More
As you may know (because you read this blog), I am the owner of several tablets, my daily driver is the HTC Flyer. Of course I use it to browse the internet, read my news, access my emails and watch some movies but from time to time I use it for one a the main reason why I did not buy a Kindle Fire or a Nook Tablet: the GPS!
So here I go driving, GPS on my tablet and plugged to my car charger when the tablet is cordial enough to let me know that the charger does not provide enough power to recharge the tablet while I am driving. And indeed when I arrive at destination I realize my tablet lo... » Read More
If there is one thing I do at least once a week is re-installing my phone or tablet, trying a new rom or simply wiping it in order to have it as speedy as the first day.
Some of you may actually do the same thing and if you are familiar with what I am talking about you probably also know Titanium Backup or MyBackup Pro. Unfortunately those two tools are not free if you want to do batch backup and batch re-install of your apps.
One down side of using a application on you device is also the fact that you have you backup locally, if you loose your phone, your backup is gone and you can also... » Read More
If you read my reviews, you know that I love the small HTC Flyer, easy to carry, great stylus, good battery life and amazing quality and excellent ration functions/price. Unfortunately even if HTC had everything in hand to propose a great product with the Jetstream/Puccini, they missed the point!
Let's start with what I love about this tablet, first off, HTC did a great job hidding HoneyComb (3.1), and Sense is a super addition making this tablet the first Android dumb-proof tablet on the market (with the Flyer). I mean it and I know a lot of people out there don't like Sense because they b... » Read More
More and more tablets propose more for less, more battery life, more functions, lighter, more power but I am still to wonder what makes a good tablet and for that my answer is clear: a balanced compromise between functionalists, user experience and price.
For this reason I decided to give you my personal selection of the best 7" tablets currently on the market and to share with you the pros and cons for each of the selected devices. Let's also be clear, the selection is so big that there is no way to go thru all devices available out there

For a very long time I have been looking for the perfect tablet for me,I tried the Apple iPad, the Acer Iconia A500, the Samsung Galaxy Tab (original) and the 10.1", the HTC Jetstream/Puccini (my biggest deception) and finally the HTC Flyer. I also has a chance to play with a Fujitsu Windows 7 tablet (a nightmare...). I tried all I could in terms of size, operating system, brands and I have to admit, even if I am so far satisfied with the Flyer, it is far from fulfill all my expectations. So HTC, Samsung, Acer or any other manufacturer up for the challenge here is what I dream about!

HTC did not offer so many tablets during the past year (only 2), but I have to tell you straight, this one, as funny as it may seem to some is a must and let me explain you why.
First let put it in the context, I live in a big city and I use my tablet everywhere I go, office, public transportation, home...
The first tablet I owned was the Acer A500, a great tablet, cheap, a lot of custom ROMs out there to make it faster and bloatware free but the main issue was its size!!! Yes 10 inches is great when you are in your sofa browsing the web but now try the same standing in a bus... good luc... » Read More
