Personal I loved my journey as a Samsung Mob!ler from reviewing great kit to receiving it in the post. As a self confessed geek I found it great being able to use that love to talk to people all over the world about high tech gadgets. My blog got hits from USA, Russia, Japan, the Middle East and all over Europe which is a great thing to see, and I thank you all for reading I will of course continue to blog about stuff and tech in general. My favourite part of the program was going to the Mob!ler meeting in London and being able to share that passion of tech with other people who also have the same passion. Plus being able to meet the people behind the emails was great too (hi again :-)). As for my favourite mission I would say the first review I did for the Galaxy Tab because it was a device I had been looking at for a while. I even watched the unveiling live online from IFA 2010 earlier in the year. This also answers the question of how I am getting on with my Galaxy Tab because ...

An App that would be awesome for all you students

Study Manager As a student I find that something that can help me organise my time would be awesome. That is why I have come up with the concept for a Study Manager app. Which is an app for students where you input the due date of your essays and how many words it has to be. The app then works out how many words you have to write per day to hit the day before your essay is due. At the end of everyday it will ask how many words you have written so far and can give you an estimate of when you will finish if you continue at the current rate. The app could also have a to do list connected to each individual essay allowing you to not forget to include certain references when your laptop isn’t to hand. The app would also include a section where you can use the detection of google shopper to scan the front of books and find out there cost online. This would be used while the student is in the library and wants to buy a certain book that say they cant take away from the library (or a bo...

Lets Golf!!

So you have a Galaxy Tab or your thinking of getting one, and you wanna know "just how do games feel on it?" Well I can safely say that they look great I looked at a couple of Gameloft games and of course Rovio's very successful Angry Birds. While Angry Birds looked great scaled up on the 7 inch screen the Gameloft games including NOVA, Dungeon Master and Lets Golf were made in such high detail that they fitted perfectly on the screen. Now Lets Golf is the perfect example of a game where you can get lost and end up playing for ages, as I found out this week. The game cost $4.99 and is totally worth it because you will get a good couple of weeks of fun out of it. Plus you can always play against others that have the game over wifi, which I find adds a hell of a lot more game time to a game as every game against someone else is different. You don't have to like golf to enjoy playing this game, this is credit to its arcade fee...

So how is the Galaxy Tab Looking?

Well so far the Galaxy Tab is a great little device, fun easy to use with a great screen. Video below:
