Strange Phenomenon of the Gadget World

Not many years back, companies like Nikon, Pentax, Casio were trying to make their cameras as small and compact as possible and charge a higher price.
Today, we see people shooting away with a 9.7" squarish and flat device.

A biggest-sized camera of all time. (2013)

Again not many years back, companies like Ericsson, Sony, Nokia were trying to make their mobile phones as small and compact as possible.
Today, we see people putting a 5.6" flat slab to their face. One can even see people holding a bigger 7" one with a brand starting with "S".

Are we "going backwards"?!
Strange phenomenon.

A Technology Irony

It's amazing how technology is going forward. Well, unless you're talking about the Galaxy Note.

Some years back, every vendor was trying reduce the size of phone such that the smaller it is, the more expensive it will be.
And a few years back, we were so glad we were able to get rid of the infamous stylus as an input device to a mobile device.

Now the reverse is seen in Galaxy Note.
What irony!

Is Your Android Phone Really Capable Of True Multitasking?

There is this popular statement we heard frequently, "Android OS has true multitasking".
Well, the software probably is.
But, is an Android device running Android OS offers "true multitasking"?

Well my Galaxy S WIFI 5" certainly doesn't! And I will tell you why.

I have this habit of surfing the net, reading emails, news on my hand phone while I lunch or dine.

So, today while I lunch, I whipped out my Galaxy S WIFI 5" to have some lightweight news catching up while I eat.

Guess what, I gave up using the device after 1 minute. The device is so wide that it takes a good acrobat artist to access the various buttons such as the back button, menu button using one hand without making the set drop down and drink my soup.

As expected, I replaced it with my trusted iPhone 4S after that.

Now, this is multitasking!

P.S. So now you know why I resist the Galaxy Note as my phone.
