Kobo Arc review

Posted by on January 4, 2013 No comments

Kobo’s latest Android tablet is a marked step up from previous efforts, but does it make for a compelling purchase in an increasingly crowded space?

The small tablet space is becoming increasingly populated of late. The Google Nexus 7 undoubtedly sets the bar pretty high, but recent months have seen respectable releases from Amazon, Acer and on the other side of the fence, Apple. Now, along comes Kobo. A Canadian company better known for e-Readers and their eBook store, they have dipped their toe in the Android tablet space before.

The Kobo Vox wasn’t the greatest tablet on the market by any stretch of the imagination. Quite chunky, a less than impressive touch response and Gingerbread sadly overshadowed a cheap, and — unlikeAmazon’s Kindle Fire – fully Google Certified tablet. Fast forward though, and things are quite different. Read more »

We’ve seen them tout integrating a solution into Android for a year, and before that they had plans for their own mobile version of Ubuntu that more than a few Linux geeks were following. Today they came full circle and showed off a native OS on an Android phone, getting some of us pumped for the “next big thing.” Read more »

Polaroid launches 7-inch kid-focused tablet

Posted by on January 4, 2013 No comments

Polaroid is launching a durable, kid-friendly 7-inch tablet today at a pretty great price point. The tablet, which doesn’t seem to have a proper name, is designed to be rugged enough to be handled and controlled by a young child as you can see with the large buttons and bezels. The device is actually running Ice Cream Sandwich — though you’d never know it — and is pre-loaded with 35 “premium apps” out of the box, with more available in a kid-friendly App Shop. It’s probably best not to give a little kid Google Play access right from the get-go anyway.

Digital Tutors Designing Otherworldly Creatures In Photoshop Cs6 (2012) | 2.32 GB

We start by describing the environment that our creature will exist in and we’ll reference a couple of known animals that already exist in a similar environment. We’ll examine the proportions of these animals to establish a unique base proportion for our creature.
