Dear Mom and Dad, The countdown to Christmas has begun and it’ll be here in a flash along with my birthday. This year I am really hoping for a tablet. I know that I already have a laptop, but a tablet will make researching things for school much simpler and has the potential to help us all, me with my homework and you, because you may find that my grades improve. There are three different types of tablets I have researched in hopes to persuade you, they are; an Ipad mini, a Nexus 7, and a Kindle Fire HD. They all, basically, do the same things, but some a little better and some a little more. Beginning with the make it or break it, prices vary substantially between the three. An Ipad mini starts at 16 GB, which is nonexpendable, for $329 yet you get what you pay for. The Ipad mini has a larger screen and better camera (Source 1). Next, is the Nexus 7 which for 32 GB, twice as many as the Ipad mini yet for $249 (Source 2). With this evidence you’d think that this is obviously a steal in comparison and I would agree. Lastly, is the Kindle Fire HD is the same price as the Nexus 7, both great prices for great products (Source 3). As I mentioned before the Ipad mini takes the cake with the camera, having a 5 MP rear facing and a 1.2 MP front facing. The Nexus 7 comes in second with a 1.2 MP front facing camera and in last is the Kindle Fire HD having a 720p front facing camera. Who takes pictures with their tablets anyways? In the end even though the Kindle Fire HD did not win in comparison in the others, I think it’d be a great beginner tablet in the sense that it has it all. Plus, for educational purposes, the Kindle is originally known as a reader tablet. So, the aps and video are just an extra in an already in a great product. Well, as you two make decisions on what to get me for Christmas please take this into consideration.

Love,

    Some people think that it is a bad idea to replace tablets with textbooks and some other people think it is a good idea. There can be many opinions over this topic, so let’s explain why we shouldn’t have them replace our textbooks.The first reason that we shouldn’t have them is because if you lose them it’s it will have a critical impact on school. One of the reasons it could have an impact is because we could lose everything you had on it. Not only that but they also cost a lot of money. If we keep the normal textbooks it will save money over time because they last longer than normal devices, and not only that they are a lot cheaper. The textbook might break but they are not that expensive to replace.Another factor with the tablet is that…

    First, product attributes are divided into quality, features and style and design. In terms of quality, the Nexus 7 provides optimal performance with a processor speed of 1.2GHz and a Random Access Memory (RAM) of 1GB. Therefore, it’s easy to switch apps rapidly and gameplay is fun. In fact, Eric Franklin (2012) in his CNET review states that the Nexus 7 is “still the best small tablet”. In my opinion, the Nexus offers performance and consistency at its price in the eye of the typical consumer. In terms of features, the Nexus 7 introduced the swype feature that allows a user to swipe fingers across the virtual keyboard instead of typing letter by letter to create a word. It also has all the benefits of Google handy – the maps, gmail, calendar, Google+, wallet and others. Concerning the style, the Nexus 7 is eye-catching with its sleek appearance and a screen resolution of 1280x800 pixels which essentially means that the pixels are tightly packed together for a clear and sharp user experience. Lastly, the design has a comfortable feel, its light enough to hold for a while and with a 7 inch display is small enough to be mobile; it has a USB port, 2 microphones, a power button and two volume buttons on the sides. It also has a front-facing camera for live chats. All these together contribute to shaping the customers product use experience.…

    Technology is always evolving depending on the needs of the consumer market. Two recently published articles in the New York Times explore the topic of the iPad vs the Kindle Fire. The first article “IPad The New Wave” is written by Karen Shaffer, who has published several novels as well as a short story. The second article, “Kindle Fire or Brick” is written by Carol Lewis, who has worked for the New York Times for over 30 years. Both authors are clearly passionate about the subject of technology. Both articles explore the topics of the usefulness of tablet technology; however, the article “IPad The New Wave” is clearly a better article because it is clearly written and geared to a wider audience.…

    There are ways to make tablet better than the phone because the tablet have books that are easier to read in than phone. The phones models improve with bigger screens like the iPhones. The bigger screens of the phones make more people buy them, so they can read better. Tablet has a brightness option to make the screen easier to read from in some places that are dark. The glass that I like on the screen for tablet is the Gorilla glass. The Gorilla glass strengthens the resistance of the glass, so it doesn’t break easily, allows very light screens to last longer on tablets, and is very popular to the world. The tablet that I want is a screen with a size of 18 inches. Twelve screen tablets are great because they allow multiple apps to run at the same time and handle lots of tasks like a computer does. One of the tablets that has a screen size of 18 inches is Samsung Galaxy View. The tablet is very nice to watch videos from, read from, and look at the Internet sources. The speakers are high-quality with the ability to hear the sound from anywhere near the…

    Bar Barakah Ceremony

    We celebrate a Bar Barakah-- a Christian form of the Bar Mitzvah-- when our children have reached the age at which they can hear from God on their own, and receive a more adult-level of responsibility of accountability to God, family, and community. We are part of a family and a fellowship that cherishes our rich Hebrew tradition for the objectivity by which it gives meaning (often, as in this case, in tangible ways) to our faith. When our son turned 13 last July, we hosted his special ceremony at our home.…

    Activities: many students from all over the world as well as educational bodies descend upon the International Consumer Electronics Show(CES) every year to find out what the brand new technology is about to hit the streets. They do this as it enhances the possibilities for what can be made possible for the classroom. There are things such as the Oculus Rift which is a virtual reality headset, this piece of equipment can be used to replace school trips. There is also the McGraw-Hill learn smart advantage. This is a new piece of technology Atari are calling the smart book. It adapts to the readers learning capabilities and stores the files they need to work on as well as remembering the parts of text books which students will need to revise as it tracks their capabilities such as how fast they read, what they study most, what kind of books help them to study better etc... Then it gives the students options so that they can go back and revise what they need to at their own pace. This would definitely be a feature worth putting into our tablet, if they have not yet made an app.We should defiantly look into developing one. If the VR glasses are not yet developed for consumers then we should look into an adapter for our tablet. http://blog.chegg.com/tag/ces-2013/…

    The higher prices of Apple's products compared to its competitors triggers signals to consumers; exclusivity, high-quality, uniqueness, coolness factor, etc. They also incorporate psychological pricing in a different way. As stated previously, the different variations of the iPod Touch retail at different price points. While applying product-line pricing, I also believe this strategy also urges its consumers to step up to the next model and pay more for a higher model. For example, the $399 iPod touch yields the best value because the price per GB is $6.23 ($399/64) while the $199 yields a price per GB of $24.88 ($199/8). These cues could lead to a purchasing decision that a customer did not anticipate (i.e wanting to purchase the 16gb initially, but ended up purchasing the 32gb or 64gb model). Customer will think that instead of purchase the 16Gb, why…

    The Best Gift

    My Kindle Fire is my best gift, by far. The four graduation seniors at my church all received one. I happened to be one of them. The excitement I felt as I got my white gift bag covered from top to bottom in green and pink polka-dots was immeasurable. I was expecting something along the lines of a picture frame or bible, but not a tablet. I opened my bag later that afternoon and saw the Kindle/Amazon box and almost shouted out in excitement and joy. The Kindle was black, sleek, and shiny. It has a 7” screen and fits almost perfectly in my hand. I haven’t left my Kindle alone since the day I got it.…
