How To Choose Which 2012 Android Phone Is The Best One


The popularity of android phones is growing larger every day. It was just a few short years ago that android phones were not that popular. However, Google has done a lot to make them appealing to the general public. Even though they have been improved, not all Android phones should be purchased. The following information will show you which Android phones of 2012 were the most impressive overall.

The HTC One S is a smart phone that is built for people who need (or want) phones that have all sorts of different gaming an multimedia capabilities. This phone also has a sleek and attractive design that will give it a fantastic appearance. The HTC One S has an Android 4.0 operating system which is also called Ice Cream Sandwich. This operating system has a design and an interface that are meant to be much more efficient and user friendly than previous Androids have used. The 8-Megapixel camera is also really good, especially when it comes to a phone's camera and it uses both HDR and Panorama to allow you to take pictures in many different modes. If your next phone needs to be solidly made and attractive, the Motorola Droid Razr will definitely fit the bill. Instead of having a plastic back on the phone, it is actually very strong and versatile, made of a substance called Kevlar. This phone is run by a powerful dual-core processor, so it performs all its functions fast and efficiently. Running on Verizon's fast 4G LTE network ensure good performance from the Droid Razr. There is an eight megapixel camera that can help you take very clear video and images. This phone has one problem - the battery life. If you want to play games or watch videos, it will drain the battery very quickly. Regardless of the battery life, the Motorola Droid Razr does quite a bit and is a great Android phone to own.

There are more Android phones on the market than you will ever be able to use at once, so if you want to have an easier time figuring out which one is right for you, just compare their specifications. However, the most important aspect of any Android phone is its operating system. There are new versions of the system released all the time and keeping up with them can be quite difficult. You most likely aren't going to want to settle for a phone with an outdated OS because that might have bugs in it that have yet to be fixed. Two recent releases of the OS include Gingerbread and Honeycomb. As of this article's writing, Ice Cream Sandwich is the most recently release version of the Android OS. Jellybean will be the next OS version for Android phones. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will be one of the first phones equipped with this awesome OS for those who are Samsung fans.

The Search For The Ideal Video Game Console


This short article will compare the top 3 best selling consoles available for purchase in the market. Each console has its own unique feature. I hoped that after you have read this article, you will have a better idea on which console to choose. I will do an overview of each console and provide my recommendation at the end.

  • Xbox 360


This console was first introduced into the gaming industry in mid-2005 by Microsoft. In 2010, a slimmer version of it was made available to the public. You can choose between a 4GB or 250GB console.

The 360 features a solid WI-FI connection which provides you with internet access aside from gaming. The inclusion of the Sky Player is what makes this console stand out from the rest.

The Sky Player allows people who are subscribed to the Sky network to view programmes through the console. Therefore, they don’t need to turn on another computer to watch them. All they need is their Xbox 360 which is truly convenient.

Another awesome feature that makes this console an ultimate entertainment machine is the presence of an online movie store that allows users to download or rent movies to watch with their gaming console.

With the WI-FI capability, you can get in touch with your friends through Facebook, play demo games and finally, get your friends involved in multiplayer games too.

The Xbox 360 offers the biggest number of game titles covering a broader spectrum of genre compared to the other 2 consoles which are discussed in the ensuing paragraphs.

  • Sony PlayStation 3


Sony PlayStation 3 is the perfect choice for people who are looking for some serious gaming experience. In terms of game titles and genre, the PS3 has the least among the 3 consoles. Moreover, the game genres which are covered by the console are more tightly focused around a few genres.

Therefore, it will appeal more to people who are already used to that style of gaming. An outstanding feature that you can find in this console is the inclusion of Blu-Ray disc drive. It is the only video game console with this feature.

However, it is also the most expensive gaming device because of this added feature. One last feature that you need to know about PS3 is the availability of an online game store which allows you to buy games from the highly successful PS2 franchise.   

Not only are the games cheaper, some of them are even better than the PS3 ones which are released recently. If you want a portable gaming device, you can go for the newly launched PS Vita.

  • Nintendo Wii

First of all, it is the cheapest gaming console you can get in the market. It is meant to provide a FUN experience for their users. Most of the game titles you can find in Wii are targeted at younger kids and family units.

In terms of hardware capabilities, the Wii is rather weak compared to the other 2 gaming machines, which is why the graphics are not so amazing. The unique feature that this console possesses is the motion controllers.

The console will follow the player’s movement and attempt to replicate it on the TV screen. This makes the game more exciting and adds a personal touch to it. Both SONY and Microsoft are coming up with ways to introduce this motion concept into their gaming devices after seeing Nintendo’s success.

Lately, Nintendo included several new features to their gaming machine to make it more appealing. The BBC iPlayer is one such feature which allows users who are big fans of BBC programmes to watch any programmes that they missed over the last few months through the internet. A similar feature can be found in PlayStation 3 though.

To conclude, the Wii is catered more for family occasions where there are more people who want to play. Besides providing a fun and relaxing gaming experience, it is the cheapest due to its limited hardware capabilities. For those who are looking for some serious and hours of gaming, PS3 is the way to go. Finally, the Xbox 360 is for a person who wants a balance of fun and serious gaming.

Buying Video Games Online Made Easy With eBay


With video games becoming too common these days, many individuals are looking for something fresh like cartridge games. It is very hard to find these games in our local game stores. Unless you know someone who is an old games collector, you will not have a good time looking for it.

Even if they have it, they will not sell them at a reasonable price which can be very frustrating at times. So where should I look for them?? Getting them from the web is usually the best way.

EBay is a good online auction place to start with. You will be amazed with the number of game titles you can find on these sites. If you are new to placing a bid on the internet, here are some tips to help you get started. Hopefully, right after applying some of the suggestions that I have shared with you, you will soon get a hang of internet auction.

A picture from the item that you intend to place a bid on should be shown on the auction screen. Although this sounds really easy, you should see the terms and conditions carefully. Although it is very common to see pictures for most auctions, you need to know that some players can use "fake images" to display the condition of their products.

Therefore, you may not be able to look at the precise condition of the product. Please avoid stock photos at all cost. There is a higher chance of getting what you see by following this simple tip.

Steer clear of auctions with disclaimers that claim that “the product which you will be getting is somewhat similar to what is being presented". You will never get something that is out of your expectation if you take the time to read the conditions carefully. Here's what you should do:

Read what is written in the description field. Sounds easy? The reason why I am highlighting this point is due to the fact that most people will just bid for the item that they are looking for out of genuine excitement while neglecting the description.

I used to sell on eBay and I will still get queries which are easily answered in the description field. Beware of those complicated disclaimers that I mentioned beforehand. Last but not least, beware of concealed costs like shipping or insurance.

3. Market Research. With the availability of price comparison sites like Yeo International, shopping online is a breeze if you are concerned about getting cheated. Merchants are willing to share more relevant info on their goods online because it does not cost anything. You can get actual reviews from actual buyers prior to spending your hard earned money on the product. With technological advances, new features to improve user experience can be implemented.

4. Wide array of goods that you can select from. As online stores do not make use of any middleman, they have additional money to stock up more products and provide consumers more options. Aside from saving money on your purchase, you are able to cut down on transport costs too. All you need is a web connection and you are done.

5. No limit on shopping hrs. The store is open at anytime of the day. You can shop when you feel like it. If you have to take care of any sick family member, you can save the hassle of finding someone to replace you when you are away shopping at a mall. If your own parents have joint pains or difficulty in walking, it will be far easier to buy online.

6. Allows you to save time so that you can do some other important things. All the information you need can be gathered with a click of a computer mouse. No more squeezing among the crowd or fighting the road traffic.
