Q. I am thinking of getting the samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0" as my first tablet but I am sort of hesitant about going out and buying one right now in case there will be any new tablets getting released sometime this year. The samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0" looks like a good tablet for a good price which is why I want to buy it but I dont want to buy it if a better tablet will be coming out soon.
I made this mistake when I bought an Ipod touch. I bought the Ipod touch without the camera (the one that came out before the one with the camera came out), and then they released the newer ipod touch (the one with the camera) and I was upset cause if I would of just waited a little while longer I could of bought the new one instead.
I dont want to make this mistake when buying a tablet again.
Will there be anything better than the samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0" coming out this year or should I just buy it?
A. Hi. Yes there is a new one.. Galaxy Tab 3 it was supposed to be released by june.. let us see a bit more and maybe they will release it this month or next. But it has merely any good differences.. Like now the front facing camera is 1.3MP instead of VGA, then the built-in OS would be 4.1 instead of 4.0 means no adobe flash support.
Nothing notable added.
So going for the Galaxy Tab 2 is pretty safe bet. As per gsmarena.. Even the camera quality stayed same.. I.e 3.15Mp at 720p.
I suggest you read this Review on galaxy tab 2, should help you out on this decision:

What do you think about the Nook Color?
Q. Hi, I am interested in purchasing the nook color and would like to know more owner perspectives on it. Major use for reading of course, but is it true you can take online college classes on it like a computer, use facebook, listen to music for free, et. Please let me know what you think about the devise. Pros, cons, anything and everything. Thank you!
A. First of all I will say it is the best LCD touch screen ereader out there for the price. I would also like to apologize if this review is too long. The Nook Color can handle books from Barnes and Noble as well as any ebooks that aren't protected, very, very well. The amount of memory the machine has can be expanded to huge amounts thru a micro SD card, something almost none of the much more expensive tablets like the ipad or blackberry playbook can do. It comes with 8gigs worth of internal memory and can be expanded with an additional 32gigs! Thats 40gigs of space for less than half the 16gig ipad! And most ebooks are tiny files, less size than even a song!
Now, before we even get into the Nook Color, you have to first ask mainly what your going to be reading. If its just going to be novels Nook Color may be a bit of overkill. Eink screens are awesome for two reasons, they look just like paper and they use very little battery. So an eink reader that will give you a months worth of reading in the Nook color will need a charge every other day or so after heavy use, especially if your using wifi. If you want more than just novels, you want a few apps, you want music and color pictures from the magazines you might buy, the Nook Color is the way to go. If you want to be able to read in the dark. Its the most sound economic choice.
Is the ipad or an android tablet like the xoom or the samsung galaxy 10.1 better? Yes, but your going to spend an extra 250 dollars at the very minimum and in my opinion they are not as comfortable to read a book on since their so big. The Nook Color 7" screen is just the right size.
So here are some pros and cons:
It can handle any ebook from Barnes and Noble including any ebook you may have that is not "protected" from your own computer. It has the ability to change fonts and text style with ease on any ebook.
It has a lend feature that you can use to borrow books for a certain amount of time from friends, haven't really tried this but some forums are there to help out.
It can move books onto the home screen and you can move in and out of different books with ease. You can leave some of the books your reading there and archive the rest. Any book you buy from Barnes and Noble is yours and yours forever. I had an old Nook and it was stolen from me, I got a new one as a Father's day present and as soon as you link it to your account, Boom! My book is there and ready for me.
Wifi is great, I have cable internet and a cheap wifi router I bought at Target and it can hook up to it no problem. Internet is good, better than any of the cheaper tablets or kindle. Some sites even worked better than on my ipod! Some will give you trouble, but usually you can work with it. Youtube works.
It can even handle the new Enhanced Ebooks that include videos and music, a very cool feature that is extra in the books and usually cost the same as the regular ebook. Imagine a book describing a location or a dish and if you want you push a button and boom theres a video showing it to you.
That being said, the speakers suck. Some videos seem to be louder than others and even though earphones help it still isn't as good as my ipod or laptop. Also since the speakers are in the back some cases will make it worse, while the loose fitting cases seem to make the sound better. Then again almost no small speakers are good. I have a Blackberry Playbook and its speakers are great, but it costs 500 dollars and still doesn't have a Nook or Kindle app so there goes that.
It has Pandora and the music played thru there sounds a bit louder and better. As long as your on wifi it can work great. Turn it on and then open a book and your good to go.
It has a facebook/twitter app and it works ok, its free, but it isn't anything to scream about. Basic functions only, post a message or read other's updates.
There are other apps, Angry Birds that work decent. Documents for writing a word file if you need to, some are free and most are under 5 dollars.
Magazines look great on the Nook, I subscribe to 3 regular magazines: Esquire, Time and Foreign Affairs, I am going to switch all 3 to Nook subscriptions. Article view lets you read the articles without having to flip pages, and now in one device you can carry your magazines, books and music.
Only con with that is it is heavier than the kindle or nook simple. But its still lighter than the ipad or those other tablets.
Hope this helped, if you have any other questions hit me up with an email, I'm more than happy to help.
Which market has better outlook in terms of apps at this stage? Android or Apple?
Q. I currently use iPhone 4 and I have a home button problem from time to time but it still works fine but I really want to change to Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (or Note 3 if it's released in the near future). I'm just still using my iPhone to save money even though my contract was over couple of months back. I definitely would like to change to an Android phone once my iPhone dies....
BUT, I use apps a lot such as facebook, instagram and many other social apps and I know that Apple offers more and better options for apps but what about Android? Is the market expanding at least or catching up to Apple or even get better?
I just want to get some information just in case my phone dies and have to change my phone.
A. they have almost all the same apps now, but a couple things to keep in mind are andriod has alot of other apps like a app for example minecraft there is like 1000 ottgher games just like it on there looking for snapchat theres 1000 other apps just like it on there, also you have to be carefull when downloading apps on andriod because google doant look for malware and spyware and viruses in general so you have a risk of that so you have to only download apps that are safe but theres an app called lookout and it is anti viruses and its free i use it on my tablet, so if you really want to buy a note 2 or 3 ( wonder how big its screen will be) then i say go for it but some apps are made for apple (vine) and then get ported over to andriod and then they suck, i like my andriod tablet and have almost all the same apps on it as i do on my iphone 4 my iphone 4 also has the same ptoblem with the button. um if your get the note 2 because you like the how can mess with stuff apples ios 7 is going to be just like it but if your going for screen size then yea i would get the not 2 because the iphone 5s will probly be same scren size in less they go strigt to 6 then it might be bigger. hope i helped sorry for the long answer.
