Ainol NOVO 7 ELF II is a Best Choice in Current Tablet PC Market

When i was searching for alternative tablets to beelabz, i came to know that, our money should be worthier for next few years technology. It should have some good hardware specification so that i can easily upgrade latest android OS to experience its latest features in my tablet itself..

I feel there are two good alternatives tablets exist in this market. One is Manufactured by Google and another is from Ainol NOVO. Google arrival to India might be delayed, may be this year end or beginning of next year and also it has its own drawbacks.. So Ainol novo is left in my option.

Shenzhen Ainol Electronics Co (Ltd) is a Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer and distribution company in Shenzhen, Guangdong province in China since 2004. In December 2011 Ainol launched the world's first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet called NOVO7 and was marketed with the brand name Ainovo for the United States, Europe and worldwide market. Also they have open forums so that we can get help on any software or hardware issues.

There are several models available in NOVO 7 Series. Out of which i felt NOVO 7 ELF II and NOVO 7 Aurora II models are comes with good configuration. Both the models have same configuration except Display panels, ELF II comes with LCD Display and Aurora II comes with IPS Display panel. Cost wise also Aurora II is 3-4 thousand rupees more than ELF II. But for normal human eye cannot identify LCD display vs IPS panel display so quickly. Also, there no major difference between these two tablet.

After a lot of search and research done on almost all shopping sites and forums, i decided to go with NOVO 7 ELF II model. The next part of model selection is where to buy this model?? Product should be genuine and should be get it with lesser price, also seller should be good enough to understand our problems before and after order placement in their shop.. So finally i chose Trade Radius (now its ainol india official store) shop from Ebay, because i can get protection on my payment from ebay and he is a good seller and he has 100% positive feedback.

Finally, i placed order at Trade Radius (now its ainol india official store) ebay shop on July 2nd and got my tablet on 10th morning. This tablet is genuine AINOL NOVO 7 ELF II from China and shop owner has changed the default language from china to English for our quick access and not to worry about language change problem in first time use. I Dont have much time to explore this tablet so far. Till now i am happy about the performance, display, and interfacing support with external devices..

I am trying to explore much on this tablet. I will post more about this tablet soon on this blog.

INTBuzz is Switching to Power Saving Mode

Recently i came to know that we can save power by switching off the lights in monitors which are not going to help in reading. So I am also switching off lights in all our client systems, which greatly helps in saving power on earth.

This works pretty simple, but first we need to understand how LED/LCD monitors works.. In layman terms we can say, generally all monitors comes with thousand and thousand of LED/LCD bulbs arranged horizontally in many lines.. Usually 3 bulbs (Red, Blue, Green) are used to represent one pixel. When white color needs to be displayed then all 3 bulbs needs to be switched on, If we need black color then all bulbs needs to be switched off. By varying bulb voltages of all three bulbs provide different shades of color.

So in this blog we are switching off many of the monitors bulbs which doesn't provide any useful information (like background) and we will switch on only few bulbs which are going to provide some useful information. In this way I am going to support GO GREEN by switching off monitor lights at my blog viewer end.

Please spread this with your friends and family to save energy on earth.. :) :)

Beware of missed call to check SIM cloning

If you have the habit of replaying to all missed calls, then think twice before you proceed. To know more what could happen, read this article from Times-of-India.

Next time if you get a missed call starting with +92; #90 or #09, don't show the courtesy of calling back because chances are it would lead to your SIM card being cloned. The telecom service providers are now issuing alerts to subscribers —particularly about the series mentioned above as the moment one press the call button after dialing the above number, someone at the other end will get your phone and SIM card cloned.

Android 4.1.x Jelly Bean Officially Released

Google announced the next Android version, 4.1 Jelly Bean on 27 June 2012. It is an incremental update with the main focus of improving the user interface, both in terms of functionality and performance, the latter involving "Project Butter" which uses touch anticipation, triple buffering, extended vsync timing and a fixed frame rate of 60fps to create a fluid and "buttery" smooth User Interface.

Jelly Bean - Android 4.1 OS

Jelly Bean user interface is largely the same as Ice Cream Sandwich, but now widgets will resize automatically when you drop them onto a crowded home page. Then, by moving the blue points you can make it smaller or change its shape.


Android 4.1 Jelly Bean includes these features with the existing Android 4.0.4 ICS

• Vsync timing across all drawing and animation done by the Android framework, including application rendering, touch events, screen composition and display refresh
• Triple buffering in the graphics pipeline
• Enhanced accessibility
• Bi-directional text and other language support
• User-installable keyboard maps
• Expandable notifications
• Automatically resizable app widgets

Android OS Naming in Different Releases

I dont know how many of you aware of android os naming convention. Common practice in all software industry is that they will provide different name for different releases of their product. Usually they will give different name for main releases (There is a major functionality changes on previous release) and not for patches. Likewise Android OS also named in different releases. Special here is Google using alphabetical order to name their android OS.

Here I listed table for android versions with its release name and release date.

Version	Release Name	Release date
Pre(1.0)*	Astro	Sep 28,2008
Pre(1.1)*	Bender	Feb 09,2009
1.5.x	Cupcake	Apr 30,2009
1.6.x	Donut	Sep 15,2009
2.0.x	Eclair	Oct 26,2009
2.2.x	Froyo	May 20,2010
2.3.x	Gingerbread	Dec 06,2010
3.x.x	Honeycomb	Feb 22,2011
4.0.x	Ice Cream Sandwich	Oct 19,2011
4.1.x	Jelly Bean	Jun 27, 2012

* The pre-release versions of Android were dubbed Astro and Bender, but these names could not ultimately be used for trademark reasons. But officially trademarked this as Android.

Easiest Way To Set Up Linux On Top Of Existing OS

Virtual Platform

VMplayer is software developed by vm-ware, provides virtual environment on top of any existing operating system. Virtual environment in the sense, the same physical hardware is shared to the operating system installed inside the VMPlayer (guest) with hiding existing operating system (host). So if anything happens inside the VMplayer will not affect main operating system where you installed VMplayer. This software is absolutely free of cost from vm-ware but you have to register an account at vm-ware to download the software.

VMplayer supports many guest operating systems on a single host operating system and keeps each guest OS files in a single file with extension vmdk on host machine. These vmdk files can be transferrable to any machine and can be reusable without having any configuration.

  

Trend sigma website offers free vmdk files for various linux operating systems. User can download any linux vmdk file from their site to use OS. This avoids manual installation effort for individuals.

Note: Virtualbox is open source software works similar to vmware.

Follow the Steps to Setup Linux

1. Download VMPlayer from Vmware website.
2. Install VM player on top of your existing windows OS.
3. Download vmdk zip files for any Linux.
4. Extract zip file and keep extracted file in permanent place.
5. Open VMPlayer -> Click Open Virtual machine -> Browse extracted vmx file -> Click next to finish.
6. Now virtual Linux is ready. Right Click on machine name from VMPlayer and click Play to start your new Linux.
7. Provide login credential user/password and enjoy!!!

P.N.: Beelabz are not prompt in dispatching order from day one. They are providing some nonsense reasons for delay. So i canceled my order and i have taken my full money back (my payment for 2 tabs). After they initiated refund, EBS portal took around 7 working days to complete refund process.
Advice here is to not to place any new order on beelabz untill they dispatch any existing customer orders and for existing customer, they can wait for some more time or they can go for refund option with their own interest. If they are not reaching, then you can raise ticket at snapdeal and EBS portal websites to awake them.
