What is difference in Android OS in tablet computers?

Because of the larger screen dimensions and resolutions, the app will display differently at times on a tablet. Also, there are apps that are more optimized for tablets, so if there is an option for that when looking through the Google Play store or Amazon Appstore, I would encourage you to download the tablet version.

Difference between gprs and edge technology in mobile phone?

Further enhancements to GSM networks are provided by Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) technology. EDGE provides up to three times the data capacity of GPRS. Using EDGE, operators can handle three times more subscribers than GPRS; triple their data rate per subscriber, or add extra capacity to their voice communications. EDGE uses the same TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) frame structure, logic channel and 200kHz carrier bandwidth as today's GSM networks, which allows it to be overlaid directly onto an existing GSM network. For many existing GSM/GPRS networks, EDGE is a simple software-upgrade.

EDGE allows the delivery of advanced mobile services such as the downloading of video and music clips, full multimedia messaging, high-speed colour Internet access and e-mail on the move.
The speed associated with internet access; downloads; surfing; etc. In 2G systems, GPRS provides data rates of 56-114 kbit/second. EDGE can carry data speeds up to 236.8 kbit/second.

What is the best Photoshop substitute for iPad?

There are many image editors and paint programs for the iPad. I personally own over fifty. Naturally, not all of them are good... some are quite poor. But it is surprising how many are elegantly excellent and offer many features which Photoshop offers. It is unrealistic to expect all of Photoshop's features, especially when considering that Photoshop sells for much, much, much more than any of these iPad apps. Some of them are either free, or virtually free.

Some of these programs excel in one or more 'Photoshop type' area, but are overshadowed by other apps in some other feature. There's really no do-it-all app that meets all your Photoshop needs. In the past my normal work-around would be to do some of the image editing in one app and the rest in another.

But all of that said, as of August 2012, an app named 'ArtStudio' has released a major update which makes it the all-around closest iPad app to Photoshop. It is by a company called 'Lucky Clan' and is touted as an art/paint program, though it contains image manipulation strengths far and above many apps which claim to be only for image adjustments. The app is not only powerful; feature-filled; but is also quite quick and has excellent performance! For creating layered images containing various adjustments and paint effects, this is about the only app I've found that delivers on the majority of my power-hungry needs.

Next month there could be something better, but as of today, this is honestly the best substitute the iPad has.

What are the differences between a BlackBerry device and other smartphones?

The next generation of BlackBerry device has moved beyond traditional business boundaries and made the BlackBerry into a multimedia device with music players, cameras, and video capabilities. With the patented BlackBerry Push e-mail, the device can be used to manage up to 10 separate e-mail accounts (or a new @yourcarrier.blackberry.com). The e-mail and web capabilities of the BlackBerry always have been, and continue to be, two of the most important features of the device. BlackBerry has been able to re-invent itself into a multimedia device with its "Connect to Everything You Love in Life with BlackBerry" campaign of advertisements, and now produces products that will allow you to stay in touch with anyone at anytime via e-mail; connect to Facebook, Flickr, or other networking sites; take, review, and send pictures; access music or video with the built-in Multimedia player. The new BlackBerry series' are now catering to the student who wants to talk with their friends and text, the businessman who needs to file reports and do work while he/she goes to work, and the everyday person who just needs a good, solid phone.

Smartphones tend to be more flashy than BlackBerry devices as more touch screen products are being introduced. Many will have a stronger camera with video, a touch screen (Though, RIM has introduced the BlackBerry Storm), or more applications available to them. Smartphones are oftentimes a more powerful phone than the BlackBerry with better graphics and more features. The BlackBerry tends to have a lower quality of call than many of its competitors. With non-BlackBerry devices, it is important for you to go to the local cellular phone dealer and compare the options of each phone. Make sure you go with a list of what you need to use your smartphone for (Texting, Internet, Simple Talking, Gaming, etc), and you will be able to find out which phones would work best for you.

The most important difference is that BlackBerries are much more Universal and always good for work, but that many other smartphones will be better for students or personal use.

Future trends in PDA Development?

The use of PDAs has visibly increased and in the applications which work with them so that a range of functions from accessing e-mail accounts and the Internet to sending faxes and digital images have become commonplace. Importantly, it is the PDA's ability to enable work in different environments and for different purposes that is allowing individuals and organizations to go beyond traditional computing and information seeking infrastructures. This ability is extending these boundaries to the benefit of personal and business applications. In particular, the wireless connectivity of the next generation of PDAs using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will likely support the extension and direction of future applications (see Wireless Networks). Wireless technology in general is set to become cheaper and much more common over the coming year as more home users and institutions deploy or adopt Wi-Fi kits to share lines and devices around the house or within the workplace. The net effect being, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi will become a standard part of notebooks and PDAs. Additionally, Europe and Asia are embracing the wireless market since it moves away from underground cables and new civic planning. At this time, Intel is working with Wi-Fi technology to trial 'hotspot' location partners to create W-LAN (Wireless Local Area Network) marketing and services and has signed on fast food chain McDonalds, as well as Borders Group Books and Hilton Hotels (March 2003). These hotspots would allow PDA and other handheld device users to access information, product and internet resources via these local networks so wherever work or pleasure is located, the user will be 'connected'. On a related note, Palm Canada and Air Canada have jointly released their "Beam & Fly" station in the Air Canada Domestic Maple Leaf lounge at Pearson International Airport. The Beam & Fly station is a new service that allows travellers to receive up-to-the-minute flight schedules, destination guides, world news, sports briefs, and airport maps simply by beaming them into their Palm handheld computers. Analysts predict that this rapid roll out of wireless technology and related applications will drive the development of a new class of handheld device, namely those that can themselves act as 'servers'. This would entail that server technology be incorporated on hand held devices to enable message and service brokering, database hosting and access to selected data. Consequently, businesses and institutions may become part of an infrastructure of ad hoc server networks, more accurately described as On-Demand Mobile Server Networks. Applications in such a network could be on-demand mobile conferencing rather than Instant Messaging. The difference from present set ups would be the ability to move data, images (static and live), and interactive voice messaging, along with text rather than merely simple text messaging. This would be a direct device-to-device transaction, not one going through a central server. As an extension of the on-demand concept, there is evidence that the Web will itself be eclipsed by the 'executable net' which will allow real-time interactive experiences through disposable code, and the extended internet - an information network which covers all electronic devices such as PDAs. Some would say this is a natural outcome of an increasingly mobile population. Indeed, we are already experiencing aspects of this future in the trend toward building ad hoc community based networks. In his new book, Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution, Howard Rheingold applies principles of computer science, economics and anthropology to uncover a sociological shift embodied by what he calls "Generation Txt" - young, mobile persons who use PDAs, mobile phones, and pagers, to create virtual communities and to coordinate community protests and stage events by sending text messages. This phenomenon also known as 'mob-logging,' or mobile blogging, is spreading out globally, using mobile devices and the Web to disseminate information. The changing scope of personalisation is also indicative of these movements. It is becoming a case of mycommunity, rather than myinformation. More users are asking about what they are missing and whether other users think this information is important. Such a shift toward forms of collective communication further underlines how mobile technologies are changing how we view time, the way we navigate our cities and personal spaces, and how we collaborate with other groups of people. Handheld devices, like PDAs, are poised to become key platforms and agents of this shift.

What is a Pocket PC devices?

A Pocket PC is a small hand held computer device that runs Windows CE or Windows Mobile. These devices can be stand alone but many cell phones come with the Pocket PC built into the phone. These phones are called smart phones.
