The first apps available for the users through both iOs and Android is Mint.com Personal Finance. This application enables users to use their mobile devices in supervising control over their finances simply because it gives them the chance to check more than their savings, but as well as credit and debit cards and even retirement plans, create manual transactions to help them stay on top of things. To top things all, this application software does not require payment services because it’s for free. Users need not worry about their account details being stolen because the application has a unique 4 digit PIN requirement before other people can access the users’ accounts.

The second apps for financial management is My Finances for iOS devices. Here, users can record their incomes and spending in charts. Its interface is user friendly and can give a monthly overview of all the financial layout. My Finances also has customizable icons for different expense categories and automatically records data by categories too. The application provides back up and restore functions. It also has password protection. Users however have to pay for the apps for $1.99/£1.49, but this is really cheap compared to the advantages it can bring its users.

The third and fourth apps available in Android that are for free are Personal ledger and MoneyWise. Personal ledger can allows users to have a daily track over their monies. Similarly with Mint.Com Personal Finance, this Apps has a PIN and password protection. But this just limits users to editing, logging, saving and viewing their transactions. MoneyWise on the other hand is an electronic checkbook. This enables users to check their expenses every day.

The last apps in this list is a free application for iOs devices, the Budget Tool. The apps does not only allow users to keep track of finances but also gives tips on spending and saving money.

There are more apps that can even allow the user to export spreadsheets via email. These are available in any App Store.

In the recent survey conducted by Nielsen, about 43 percent of those asked in the survey said that they owned an Android, comparing to the 28 percent of those aseked who have said that they owned iPhone. In this scenario it is quite unease in part of apple because they have poor survey in the market. According to AppleInsider, “the former also increased in market share in the past three months, a factor of the late arrival of Apple’s new smartphone. We shouldn’t start to think that the iPhone is dead and buried; once the iPhone 5 and iOS 5 is released things should change in Apple’s favor very quickly.”

The new fifth-generation of iPhone aside of its being a smartphone it could now come with LTE. Soon iPhone 5 and iOS will bring out the history but Apple needs also to consider that people will buy in much affordable price. This is the only way if Apple wants to compete with Adroid. As Android rises up, Apple rises also. In the report on AppleInsider, “there are more than prepaid customers, which is still untouched by Apple – how can they allow all that potential to just slip through their fingers?” the clash between Android phones and Apple starts and who will win the market competition?

New Tablet Perspective: Toughness:

There must be something about thin tablets, given that they lead the market when it comes to devices and pcs, but perhaps the public and techno fans have take it for granted that other than the thinness, tablet durability might also be one factor to consider when buying tablets. Fortunately, not all tablet, desktop and mobile devices manufacturer concern themselves with the idea that thin is totally in.

Panasonic has decided to come up with a ruggedized Android tablet. Panasonic is known for its Toughbook notebooks, so it isn’t really surprising if the company has designed a touch shock resistant tablet.

The new design is deemed to be launched in 2012, and the target market for the product is not the same market that has popularized Android Honeycomb contingents like Samsung, Asus, Acer, Motorela, Toshiba and Sony. The target population then are people who may possibly give their tablets a rough environment, like those who are often outdoors and exploring.

This is of course good because the conventional market will probably turn a thumbs down to the tablet because they value thinness more.

The new Tough tablet, with a codename of CM111, is 10.1 inch with silver chassis, a number of hardware buttons upfront and wrapped with rubberised grip in the sides. It may not be as thin as the svelte and elegant iPad and Galaxy Tab 10.1 but the new unit is further designed to have a multi-touch matte-style display, one that’s good for viewing things under strong sunlight. It is also modelled to support stylus input but its 3G connectivity is optional.

So how tough is the new Toughbook tablet? CM111 will be definitely temperature tested, whether it can endure an 200 degree C oven heat atmosphere or it can outstand a cold dip in a -85 degree C water bath.

Another temperature test that will be run on the unit is whether it can also survive quick temperature changing environment. Other tests like spraying the tablet continuously with water while it’s turned on, and dropping it from a 120 cm height on slabs of concrete and wood will also be done on the tough tablet. All these procedures are actually the qualifying processes for all Panasonic Toughbook notebooks, thus, it is just logical that the same will be given to the tablet as well.

If CM111 will get through all these tests, then welcome launch for the product should be already organized as early as now.

The thriving industry of smartphones and its related devices has created the technology driven world into somewhat more of a fantasy than the real one.

Almost all of the world’s largest industries have entered the virtual world of technology by venturing into its different aspects of where they can have the most gain.

While it can be argued that there’s nothing wrong in this trend, still we should not forget that we are real people who should face the real challenges in the world.

Speaking of challenges, what can be more challenging for the other phone carriers in the US with the announcement of LTE that they won’t be providing the 4G broadband network compatibility for them?

Good thing, the anticipated Samsung Illusion is included in the Verizon LTE lineup.

We have recently seen the leaked photo of this smartphone on Verizon. This is known as the Viper or SCH-I110. It runs with Gingerbread which feature includes the 800MHz CPU and a 480 x 320 HVGA smaller-screen display.

Its Sustainable Product Certification indicates that it has least addition of eco-friendly features.

But turning back to the issue of other carriers, it can be noted that Big Red and AT&T separately owns a block of 700MHz spectrum each that resulted to limited phones to be carried on both networks.

Add to that are the 1700MHz wave by MetroPCs and the 1500MHz of LightSquared.

This only implies that it’s less likely or not easy to have a very good roaming status in the country.

After a week, the confirmation of Choi Gee Sung, Samsung’s CEO adds up to this disappointment by putting to rest the speculations of webOS deal. Although this rather sounds frustrating, the team at CM provides us with better solution.

With the straight to the point cut, CyanogenMod 7 for Android suggests that it will run better for your stagnant Touchpad.

Apparently, this platform will provide a more functional Wifi access, faster audio and operational accelerometer with easy access to Android Market.

However, the code is yet to be revealed by the team as they are currently configuring the Hamsterdance effect. In that case, we have to wait and hope for a faster development.

Meanwhile, there is a plan for webOS to receive split global business units.

Apparently, the two units specifically webOS software will be moved to the Office of Strategy and Technology, whereas the hardware division will go to the Personal Systems Group. The splitting of webOS units is viewed to optimize their technology.

But there is another hint that webOS will remain as the major platform for the HP Company.

Whether what move HP is going to make, we are petty sure that they are going to make the best move for their company.

But as a consumer, we can’t close our eyes to the other options offered by other developers. In this crucial moment, only one virtue will stand, it’s either loyalty or practicality.

CyanogenMod 7 for Android: Better Running in Touch-screens is a post from: Tech Pinger

Apple’s iPad 2 awed several techno interested consumers when it was first released in March.

It just seemed impossible to have something light and thin, packed with a lot of apps and software that highly reflect extensive technology.

But Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 showcased during Google I/O conference surpassed iPad 2 in its dimension.

Everyone thought that Galaxy Tab 10.1 would be the thinnest tablet for some time, unfortunately for Samsung, Toshiba showed them that they can do even better with the new Toshiba AT200 tablet.

To really compare the three and decide which among them is the best.

It may perhaps be better to actually take a look beyond their thin dimensions and consider as well their weights and features in detail.

To start with, all three tablets have dual-core processors and 10.1 displays and it might just be difficult to see which is more advantageous or not. The following detailed descriptions account for a comparison among the three tablets.

iPad 2 measures 241.2 x 185.7 x8.8 mm. Its’ WiFi model weighs around 601 grams while its’ WiFi + 3G model weighs about 613 grams.

Clearly, the newer iPad model emphasizes the fact Apple has leapt widely from its last iPad design.

The thin quality seemed just so appealing to users that Samsung decided to also make their tablet design more thinner than iPad 2.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1, being thinner than iPad 2 is of course lighter in weight, being about 4 to 5 % lighter than iPad 2.

A plus factor is the idea that Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 already has both WiFi and 3G connectivity, whereas in iPad 2, the consumer would still need to choose which between the WiFi version and WiFi and 3G version would they avail.

Although the Galaxy tab is relatively longer than iPad 2 with a length of 256.7 mm, it still has some advantage over iPad 2 because it’s 0.2mm lesser in its width, the actual width being 175.3 mm only.

But Samsung probably did not expect that another much thinner tablet might just take away their bragging rights from them.

As for the moment, Toshiba is king of the tablet market. Its’ AT200 model is not only thinner than the other two tablets but is rather technically smaller and lighter than the two in almost every way.

Measuring just about 256 x 176 x 7.7 mm and weighing just 558 grams, Toshiba’s AT200 is 0.9 mm thinner than Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 1.1 mm thinner than iPad 2.

Considering this, it does not seem to matter that it is 0.7 mm wider than the Galaxy Tab 10.1. The depth dimension definitely rules over width and length.

Although thin does not mean best, it is just interesting to note how technology has made these gadgets possible.

And Apple, with its strong reputation for making incredible technology might have a run for its money, what with Samsung and Toshiba only a very few steps behind it in the technology world.

Maybe you’d like to think about this and give your perspectives.

Do you think Apple’s next tablet would be better in the thin department than Toshiba’s AT200? And what do these latest gadgets tell people about the gadgets’ build strength? Your opinions are always welcome.

During our previous discussions we have given you the list of best apps for the month of August, and today as we have come to a new month – September, we will not forget to give you the four best apps for your Android phones:

1. Widget Locker Lock screen:

This app allows you to replace anything from your lock screen. So far, this is one of the best featured app this month, not only due to convenience, but also due to the security it provide.

Firstly, you can drag and drop any widgets you like to interact in your lock screen, which means that you can have a quick glance of information without having to spend too much time in clicking, dragging and dropping.

Secondly is that, this lock screen app can help you avoid any accidental interactions. It is available in Android Market at $1.89.

2. Quota:

This Android app is developed by South Freo. Apparently, this app offers tracking of your balances like the phone, internet, Skype, currency, stock values, Fly Buys, Everyday rewards and CineBuzz.

3. SMS Scheduler:

This app is totally free by the lylynx.com. This is very useful in scheduling SMS.

Like for example you have an important message for your employee or a classmate, but the time is very unreasonable, so you just have to type the message in your phone and set the message to be sent at the specific time you want that message to be received by the recipient.

Add to that, the SMS scheduler write the SMS to the system database, that makes it greater than other scheduling apps.

4. Titanium Media Sync:

This is very cool. You can have a backup of all your apps, photos, videos and downloads right into your drop box.

So, if you are bored and tired of your current apps, don’t waste time in extending your patience with the old apps. Add color and life to your smartphone by adding these highly recommended Android apps.

The Google+ app button has created a stir for Android fans. The app is very impressive as it is hitting the benchmarks for clicks over the other social networking apps.

Although it is admittedly thought that this will be too early for Google to venture into its very own social network, it seems that there is already a stemming problem for iOS based devices.

This is for the reason that currently no apps for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch are available. It means that the user experience and special notifications will be limited for the user of the said devices.

If the current status will remain for a long time, then it will give us enough reason to suspect that Google might have plans to overtake the big social networking sites (Twitter and Facebook) by giving exclusive features for Android apps.

By then, we can note that iOS apps might lose their popularity.

On the other hand, we still do have the benefit of the doubt. This recent issue can be either caused by the delay of approving the app on the side of Apple or Google has not yet submitted an app to the app store.

In any of these cases, we can say that it would be a cunning strategy for Google to promote Android.

In addition, the swarming products and services of Google are already dominating that can lead us to think that this might mark the fall of iOS and the rise for Android. Hopefully, Google will not be this cruel.

Do you think Google will give priority to Android apps than IOS apps?
