Samsung Tab 10.1 2019 Wifi

Samsung launch this device many months ago, I look at the spec and felt not bad. But it still have some design flaw that keep me from considering the device. Its suppose to be a media consumption device but the stereo speaker is located at the same side which felt a bit monologue. This is a bit waste. The screen is not Amoled, which is understandable as to keep the cost down. 

Microsoft's Windows Mobile

Microsoft is one of the largest tech company in the world who dominate the personal computer market. Either you like it or not, you will mostly be using Windows OS compare to others as it is still the cheapest solution for computing. Mobile phone are still far from able to replace it in coming years.

One of the bizarre regarding the company is that they unable to create better consumer level products. Most of their consumer product either way way ahead of its time or far far behind from their competitors. They created the first tablet way before iPad is announced. They are the pioneer of smart devices, way before iPhone exist. They have the largest developer ground that will write any software for their OS.

Windows Mobile is the mobile OS that I had a chance to use it. One of the craziest stuff that I encounter is once your device is out of battery or power, it will delete all the installed software. The UI is in a very very small screen and you need to use a stylus to click the screen or type. It is a very popular mobile devices and dominate the smart devices along with Blackberry. The screen is resistance which mean you need stylus to operate it. The benefit of this is screen is durable.

Then Apple launch the iPhone with iOS. How they solve the stylus? By creating a large button to allow user to click it using finger as they use capacity screen that is a creation of Nokia. The world go nuts when Apple provide the simple solution for user to operate a small device. It is the Columbus Egg of IT world.

The rest is history. Apple then launch App store that storm the developers to create apps for the devices. After a few years since Windows Mobile is disappear in the consumer world, left in industry level as Apple didn't involved in that area.

Microsoft tried to fight back the market with its belated Windows Phone but that is another epic decision disaster that finally kill of Nokia.

Lottery - A symbol of HOPE

I have a habit of purchase lottery. I get a lot of critic for the habit. Most of the reason is that it is a wasted money. The percentage of winning is very low. The percentage of winning to me is simple, 50% 50%. Either you win or you lose.

The lottery is a symbol of hope in life. It make people have something to hope for even if the current situation is misery. People have something to hope for when it is the lottery day.

People who play lottery are mostly optimistic as they always see the brightness side of it as compare to those who doesn't like it see it as confirm lose even they never tried before.

All it need is just once to hit the mother load of jackpot.

Once you win, those who object you for playing lottery will be shameless came to you ask for the benefit.

iPadOS

iPadOS is currently under beta mode and it gain a lot of praise from those who review or use it. The latest OS finally enable the iPad do what everyone envision it can do during iPad 2 era.

Better late than never, right?

MacBook

Once Apple launched a super thin laptop that is fanless. It has a single port for charging and others usage. Nobody know what is the usage of the device beside look cool. The CPU is weak due to the fanless. The battery is no where impressive.

My friend at that time ask my opinion on whether to get the MacBook or MacBook Air that is consider a bit outdated but still way way more powerful than the MacBook. I said no matter what I said you will choose MacBook. He asked me why, I replied that because it more cool. He didn't like my answer.

So in end, I saw him purchase the device but he complaint that it is under power and cannot much on the device, he end up still using his old MacBook Pro.

iPod 7th generation

In 2019, Apple surprise the world by launching the new updated spec iPod with its outdated A10 chipset. It device is already at the blink of obsolete at launch. Even thought iPad 2018 is also using A10 chipset but we can never know how long will Apple keep supporting these old chipset.

Beside the CPU, the rest maintain the same with the 6th generation iPod which no surprise to anyone who know who Tim Cook is good at, recycle old spare part.

Android Tablet

Recently I notice that Samsung has a brand new tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 LTE which seem like a not bad devices with its pricing at below 600. Consider it as a large version of my Samsung J7 Prime. It is stated that it is using TFT screen and not IPS and the resolution is 1280x800.

I went to Samsung Outlet to see the actual device and what surprise me is that the screen seem very wash out. The color is a bit dull and pixelated. It is a bit unbelievable at that time that make me turn off to purchase the device. Beside there is no promotion for the device. I get nothing except the device along.

The device is a bit heavy and thicker than I expected.

8" seem still consider as small to my usage. I felt that with the pixelated screen, it will make my situation much worst than when I own the Asus Memo Pad HD 7 which is IPS screen and the screen doesn't felt pixelated. Maybe that's how Samsung able to cut the cost.
