Todays 16 Tech Tips like Apple iPad vs Samsung Galaxy Tab Vs Toshiba Folio 100 Vs OlivePad

Posted: 22 Sep 2010 09:30 AM PDT
Apple iPad Galaxy Tab FolioApple iPad was a great success in the whole Computing Industry because it gave a serious competition to the netbooks and millions switched from buying a new netbook to a new iPad. Now there are more than a dozen competitive products available in the market which are now going to beat Apple not just with their features but also in terms of specifications, pricing etc.
Nowadays there are tablets which are coming up from 99$ price range which can be found under the Archos Android Tablets series. While Indian companies are also getting into this competitive market with products like OlivePad, Infibeam Phi & WePad Tablet PC. In this article we will write a detailed comparison of the Apple iPad Vs Samsung Galaxy Tab, OlivePad and Toshiba Folio 100.?

Physical Dimensions :

Following are the Physical Dimensions of the different touch tablets.

Weight :

The Folio 100 is the heaviest of all and is comparable with the Apple iPad, though the best in terms of weight is the Samsung Galaxy Tab which weighs just 380 grams.
  • Apple iPad – 680 grams
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab – 380 grams
  • Toshiba Folio 100 – 760 grams
  • OlivePad : 410 grams

Display Screen :

The best of all these is the iPad for the best touch screen but when you are looking for something which is easy to handle and carry then the Galaxy Tab can be considered as the best one with a screen resolution of 1024 by 600 pixels.
  • Apple iPad : 9.7 Inch multi touch screen
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab : 7 Inch TFT LCD Screen
  • Toshiba Folio 100 : 10.1 Inch multitouch screen
  • OlivePad : 7 Inch touch capacitive screen
Samsung Galaxy Tab

Camera :

Apple looses all the points in this case because it has no camera available, but there are a few rumours that the ipad 2 would have 2 cameras. Currently the Samsung Galaxy Tab wins the comparison because of two cameras allowing you to take snaps as well as have a video chat with your friends.
  • Apple iPad : n/a
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab : 3.2mp back & 1.3mp front Camera
  • Toshiba Folio 100 : 1.3 megapixel Camera
  • OlivePad : 3 megapixel camera with 4x zoom.

Operating System :

Apple is going to release the iOS4 for the iPad soon but till then the multi tasking feature is missing. Tab and Folio 100 are quite better with the latest Android OS.
  • Apple iPad : Apple iOS 3.2 on 1Ghz chip
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab : Google Android 2.2 OS
  • Toshiba Folio 100 : Google Android 2.2 OS on Nvidia Tegra 2 processor.
  • OlivePad : Android 2.1 (Eclair) OS on ARM11 600MHz processor.
Toshiba Folio 100Toshiba Folio 100

Memory :

OlivePad is not recommended because of the lower Internal memory which can be upgraded at your cost, while the other three tablets are good enough and offer similar memory size.
  • Apple iPad : Available in 16Gb, 32Gb & 64 Gb versions.
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab : Available in 16Gb & 32Gb versions.
  • Toshiba Folio 100 : 16 Gb version only.
  • OlivePad : 512Mb Internal memory.

Connectivity :

In this case both the iPad & Tab would be worth buying because using the 3G cell phone networks option you can stay connected with everyone at any location.
  • Apple iPad : WiFi, Bluetooth & 3G option.
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab : WiFi, Bluetooth & 3G option.
  • Toshiba Folio 100 : WiFi & Bluetooth.
  • OlivePad : WiFi, Bluetooth & MicroUSB option.
OlivePad

Battery Life :

iPad has a 10″ screen size and still offers you with 10 hours of long battery life which is the best feature because Tab, Folio & OlivePad each offer a maximum of 7 hours battery backup.
  • Apple iPad : 10 Hours long battery.
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab : 7 Hours battery life.
  • Toshiba Folio 100 : 7 Hours browsing battery life.
  • OlivePad : 7 Hours battery.
Overall the Apple iPad again wins because of the huge AppStore which gives you access to the thousands of useful applications downloadable through iTunes or directly through the device. Next recommendation would be the Galaxy Tab which has the best features all packed in the 7″ screen size. We would not recommend both the Folio 100 nor the OlivePad because of multiple drawbacks in the devices when compared to the former two.

FaceBook IconFaceBook is growing bigger and bigger and most of our old buddies who used to catch up earlier on Myspace, Orkut are now moving to FaceBook and spending most of their time on this Social Networking Gaint along with Twitter. Now one of the biggest reason why someone would get into facebook is the entertainment in the form of selected videos & music posted by friends & friends of friends which is interested and a good way to find quality time pass stuff.
We had earlier written many useful articles for FaceBook users like Enable & Disable Friend Requests, Tag People in Facebook, Download Facebook Videos, 0.Facebook Login, Facebook Login, Facebook Login Tips etc. In this article we will show you how you can upload your favorite MP3 Music files to FaceBook and share the same with your friends which would entertain them too.
Facebook is similar to Twitter in some ways like uploading files because both of these dont allow you to upload Music files the way you can do with Pictures and Video files. Hence you will have to go a step ahead with this and make use of the file hosting services which would host the Mp3 file and you would share the URL directly with your friends.
In simple terms this means that you will have to Upload the MP3 file to a Online File Hosting service which would host the file and would allow you to be embedded. This means that you cannot use the services like mediafire, rapidshare, megaupload, uploading.com, 4shared etc because all of these would display a download page first with some time limits or other barriers when you would like to access the original file. We need to use a service which would give you direct public access to the .mp3 file directly.
We would recommend you to use a service called as CloudApp [http://my.cl.ly/login] which is a free service where you can register with your email ID within seconds and get started. Once you are logged into your ‘My CloudApp’ account, you will find different options to use.
Under the Library section, click on the Audio and you will find all the uploads of Audio files listed there. Click on the ‘Upload File’ option and then browse and upload the MP3 file from your computer to the CloudApp hosting.
Upload Mp3 File
Once the whole file is uploaded you will need to find the correct .mp3 link of the music file which is going to be posted as a update on FaceBook. Under the Uploads you would find the file, click on this and you will get a new window asking you to download the file.
Download Music Mp3 File
Click on the download button and start downloading the file. While the downloading is in progress you would get the ‘Download Link’ by right clicking on the progress bar and selecting the option of ‘Copy Download Link’ which can be used on the FaceBook.
Copy Download Link Firefox
Next step would be the final part of this job, which would be logging into your FaceBook account and posting the link. Paste the Copied URL Location in the Attach Box and then click on the ‘Attach’ button.
Attach Link FaceBook Update
Next FaceBook would display some information related to the song like the Artist Name, Album Name etc found through the file info. Click on the Share button and the song would be available for your friends on the News Feed.
Music File FaceBook Embed
Note : Make sure that you have uploaded a file which has no copyrights issues and you have permissions for sharing the same.

FaceBook settings have been changing every few days and one of the major issues using these Social Networking websites is that your private information is in the hands of public with a few clicks. Hence its important to hide most of this information to make sure you don’t get those unwanted emails which can also be considered as SPAM and make sure others don’t find email address easily.
In this article we will show you how you can hide your Email Address without Email Masking which is displayed under the ‘info’ tab of your profile which is accessible by your friends as shown below.
FaceBook Contact Information
In order to hide the email address from everyone you will have to click on the Account > Privacy Settings.
FaceBook Privacy Settings
Next you will get access to the Privacy Settings Customizations page where there are different categories of information and options listed. Here you will find a small option of ‘Customize Settings’ which will open another page on FaceBook.
On this page under the Contact Information section you will find your email ID listed with an option of ‘Friends Only’. Click on this option and you will get a small drop down to select one of the multiple options.
FaceBook Contact Info Edit
Next you will have to click on the ‘customize’ option which will display and small confirmation box asking you to select any one of the given options. Since we are looking to hide the email address from everyone’s access, it’s better to select the option of ‘Only Me’. You can still get messages from your FaceBook if they use the Messages option instead of searching for your email address and contacting you through the same.
Custom Privacy FaceBook Settings
That’s it now you have restricted access to your email address visibility in FaceBook.

Question : I have an Apple iPad which is just awesome but i wanted to use more additional features of reading PDF Files on the device apart from watching movies and listening to audio files. The problem is that i currently use the Gmail feature of viewing PDF files through the browser but needs me to connect to the Internet, and i need a solution for reading the PDF files offline on the iPad. Can you post a small tutorial on the same.
Solution : This is very much possible and is obviously a feature of the Apple iPad which allows you to read soft copy of your books on your device. You will have to get back the Apple iTunes software which is the application which Apple keeps you always locked with in order to use the different features.
To get started you can use the iBooks application in the device itself. Start the iTunes application and connect/sync your iPad with the computer. Drag and Drop the PDF file from the computer to the left section of the iTunes application under the Books category which is listed under Library.
Copy Books iTunes
Next the book in the PDF format would be displayed under the Books category as shown below.
iTunes Books List
If you dont like the default UnKnown Author status which is shown below the book name, you need to right click on the Book and select File > Get Info. Next under the Artist Name, mention the name you would like to be listed under the PDF Book.
iTunes File Info
Next you will have to click on the Books section below your Apple iPad device section and select the Books Link.
Apple iPad Devices
Click on the Sync Books by either selecting the ‘All books’ option or else the ‘Selected books’ and click on the ‘Sync’ button.
Sync Books Apple iPad
Now access the iPad device and then get ahead by tapping on the ‘iBooks’ application. Next you will see a rack of different books listed under the ‘Books’ category.
Apple iPad iBooks Rack
Tap on the top ‘PDF’ option which will display you the PDF Books which were synced and transferred.
Apple iPad iBooks PDF Book
You can not only delete the PDF Book from your iBooks application directly but also would enable you to easily search through the book pages and also directly jump to any of your favorite pages.

I had recently read your article on how to run the Apple iChat for Mac OS X and wanted to know if there are some awesome applications or software’s like those which would work for the Windows-based Computers. I wanted to get a list of all these if possible and only the free of cost programs.
instant messenger softwaresHey, first of all i would like to make you clear that Apple charges huge amount of money for their computer not just for the solid hardware but also for the useful and feature rich software which works far more better than the windows based softwares. Hence in this case of the iChat Alternative we cannot find one single software which can beat all the available features but yes a combination of two different applications can perform this job. Lets see how is this possible.
One of the best suggestion would be to install the AIM application on Windows which allows you to chat with your Online buddies and also get Status updates from Facebook, Twitter, MySpace. AIM has almost all the features which iChat offers but if you are looking for services which offer access to multiple IM services then check out the following alternatives.
  • Trillian : This is a multi-login access featured IM application for windows which allows you to login simultaneously to AIM, ICQ, IRC, MSN and Yahoo! Messenger. Decent enough application with smart looks and additional features which can make you get addicted to this software.
  • Digsby : This is a Messenger software which not just offers you to connect with your friends but also gives you updates on new emails which are received in your Inbox along with updating your Twitter account and reading the RSS Feeds. Good for people who have accounts with multiple services including Facebook chat friends.
  • Pigdim : Another neat and useful software application for Windows based users who are looking to chat with friends available on multiple networks. The best part is that this software is light and offers you with fewer resources usage on your computer.
