Reviewing the most popular electronic gadgets

Amazon Kindle Fire

Category: Tablets - Date: February 12, 2012 - Discussion: No comments

Some of the reviews you’ll see for the new Amazon Kindle Fire are longer than ‘War And Peace’ and cover all the minute details like size – “it fits in my hand” – and speed – “it was pretty fast.” Rather than bore you with another ‘expertly detailed analysis’, let’s just cut right to the chase.

The Kindle Fire has 8Gb of storage which is really more like 6.5Gb after you allow for the OS. At that capacity the Fire can potential store 8 downloaded movies, 80 apps, 800 songs, or 6,000 books. While it might seem highly improbable that you’d ever reach that 6,000 book mark, the limit of 8 movies might be a little iffy – especially if you’re a huge movie lover. Don’t worry, though. Because you also get an additional 5 GB of storage in the Amazon Cloud Drive. If you’ve ever used Amazon’s Cloud then you’ll know this is a big plus. You can access it anywhere, anytime, with any device.

A Look At The New Motorola Razr

Category: Cell Phones - Date: February 10, 2012 - Discussion: No comments

The original Motorola Razr was one of its most iconic and popular brands, so when it announced its decision to launch a follow up, excitement begin to grow amongst fans. However, this Motorola Razr is not only run on the Google Android operating system but does not have any of the design features associated with its predecessor. That’s not to say it’s not impressive however, with an incredibly thin 7.1mm thick body (at-least most of it anyway) and a 4.3inch high resolution touchscreen.

Motorola was acquired by Google in last year and the inclusion of its Android system was an inevitable result of this move, with the Android 2.3.5 built in. The design is certainly a strange one with the majority of the phone measuring just 7.1mm in width whilst at the top of the phone, it gets thicker. With the amount of features a modern smartphone has, it’s only possible to have it so thin and Motorola took the unusual step of putting them all at the top rather than spread the width of the phone. Despite being thin throughout this top heavy design does make for a strange feel because it still ways 127g in comparison to its predecessor which weighed in at a significantly lighter 95g.
