ASUS’ Transformer Prime is, arguably, the hottest Android tablet in the market today and it has finally been rooted! Step-by-step guide available after the jump!
We're fast approaching that time of year again. The time of year when tech journalists and anyone else mad enough descends upon the Sin City in order to get their hands on the latest and greatest gadgets the world of tech has to offer.
If you’re a regular follower of Redmond Pie or indeed technology news in general, you will probably have seen the constant bickering between Apple and Samsung during the course of 2011.
Christmas is always going to be a big time for companies like Apple and Google. With gifts being given the world over, there's a high probability that a good chunk of them run either Apple's iOS or Google's Android. Both have their own application stores.
With 3G and 4G connections being what they are, many turn to their iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices for a little on-the-go backup internet. Unfortunately, despite many carriers offering unlimited web access, unauthorized internet tethering doesn’t come as part of the deal, and some – namely AT&T – have been swiftly altering consumers’ packages to include tethering for those caught surfing via third-party devices.
The Galaxy Nexus is a powerhouse when it comes to hardware. Coupled with Google’s latest and greatest iteration of Android - Ice Cream Sandwich - It’s a treat no one can deny.
Amazon's Kindle Fire is the first tablet to come out of the usually e-ink laden e-reader line that has proven itself to be a firm favorite the world over. Along with the move to a full color, Android-powered tablet, Amazon has created its own web browser, designed to make loading web pages a snappy affair by doing some fancy caching. That's the theory, at least.
I know from personal experience that the ability to tether a device can not only be of great benefit, but also occasionally life saving. If you aren't familiar with the art of tethering then you can think of it as the ability to share your devices cellular data connection with your PC, Mac or a tablet. This is extremely useful when travelling and have no access to a Wi-Fi network, or if like me you have a Wi-Fi only iPad.
We are coming to the end of the Christmas period which generally means that pockets are empty, credit cards are at the limit and households contain a large number of happy people who have been on the receiving end of some generous gifts. If sales figures and trends are anything to go by, it seems that a lot of people are giving the gift of consumer electronics this year which inevitably means smartphones and tablets would have been sitting nicely wrapped under the tree.
If you’ve been following Redmond Pie recently, you’ll know that Apple and Samsung are currently locked in copyright-infringement-based lawsuits spanning the entire globe: Japan, Australia, Germany, Denmark etc. Now keep that in mind, and check out two the ads we’ve embedded after the jump: a recent iPhone 4S ad and an all-new Galaxy Tab 8.9 ad. Samsung has, allegedly, copied Apple at another front: TV advertisements.
