<p>I've created this so post so that you will know what's coming and what's under the lid. Bear with me, this could get crazy. </p>
<p>First up: the galaxy tab 2 is coming. This tablet has mostly the same specs as the other Galaxy Tab, except it runs on ICS right out of the box. </p>
<p>Next: Note tablet? I'm curious about this guy. That pen makes me want it more. This tablet is like a blown up version of the galaxy note. Complete with the fancy schmancy pen. </p>
<p>After that: Nexus Tab. This tablet is supposed to be a cheaper tablet that google is going to sell in an online store. This is the one I want to pick up. Supposedly, the price will be less than $300 and have some damn good specs for the price. It's 7 inches, though. So don't expect massive screen from it. </p>
<p>I'll update this with more facts as I find out more. :) check back though. <br>

The Galaxy Nexus it my fifth Android phone. I'm no stranger to the Android platform, and I know how it should work. Let me start by saying that the GNex is a gorgeous phone, and it is my prized electronic at the moment. The GNex has forced me to learn and further my skills. <br />
<br />
First, I'm rooted and running a rom. This phone responds well to all kinds of roms. I've tried out three now, and my phone is still as solid and beautiful as ever. <br />
<br />
What I Like:<br />
+screenshots. Super fast and simple, and very responsive. <br />
+the dev community. Everyone loves this phone, and so there are a lot of options rom wise. <br />
+the size. This phone is an excellent size, and allows for beautiful movie watching and viewing. <br />
+Android 4.0. This shit keeps getting better. The UI is lovely, and is made even better with custom roms. <br />
+lack of search key. I might be the one person who doesn't miss the search key. The phone looks so much simpler without the search key. Of course, if this is a negative for you, you can always root and find a rom that allows you to add buttons. <br />
<br />
+camera. This is one of the best phone cameras I've had. There's all kinds of features that you can include in your pictures.<br />
<br />
What I Don't Like:<br />
-on stock, I hated the lag of the keyboard. Rooting fixed that.<br />
<br />
That's about it for my likes and dislikes. As you can tell, I love the phone. I'm so unbelievably happy with this phone, and given the option, I would try it again. </div>christina.cooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14356457377196415649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534204823438314269.post-57847808262389777322012-04-10T23:36:00.002-07:002012-04-10T23:36:34.446-07:00What I Think of InstagramRecently, I decided that (sometime in the next few months) I will be deleting my facebook. Now, this isn't very rare around the Google/Android fan base because of Google+. So, after I had decided that I was going to delete Facebook, I got an email that said it was time to download the Instagram app.<br />
<br />
People were going pretty crazy for Instagram. I just wanted to try it out. So, I downloaded the app and started clicking around. Okay, I'm not gonna lie, I was confused as hell. There wasn't really much appeal to me, since, for the past few months, I'd been making do with Lightbox and other similar apps. I clicked around and finally got around to uploading a photo. I noticed that there weren't as many features as some other apps that I had tried out. The social aspect of it also annoyed me a lot. I saw a lot of Android-hate going on from the iPhone users. Number one: I didn't like the app, so I deleted it. Number two: iPhone users do not OWN Instagram (FACEBOOK DOES).<br />
<br />
Overall, I wasn't a very big fan of Instagram, and promptly deleted the app. Then, I learned that Facebook had bought Instagram and deleted my account. Instagram may work for some users, but it's just not right for me.christina.cooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14356457377196415649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534204823438314269.post-42389732712298562162012-04-09T01:52:00.001-07:002012-04-09T01:52:37.164-07:00Custom ROMs<div><p>Ever since I rooted, I have been very bold in terms of ROMs. So far I've tried out Gummy, Liquid and AOKP, as well as a Franco Kernel. The first ROM that I tried out was Gummy. Gummy is a simple and very customize-able ROM. I liked how easy it was to start up and customize. I'm very glad that I chose it for my first ROM. </p>
<p>The next rom I used was liquid. I liked liquid more than Gummy. The only issue that I noticed was that the text box wouldn't allow me to input text at times. While it was a little annoying, it wasn't that big of a deal. Other than that small flaw, the rom was smooth and clean, and setup was simple. </p>
<p>Currently, I'm on AOKP. This rom seems to be flawless, and I haven't had any issues with it yet. Initial set up was a little bumpy(but not the roms fault).</p>
<p>If you're a beginner (like I was/am), Gummy and Liquid are excellent roms to try out until you find one that you're happy with. :) </p>
<p>Happy flashing! </p>

I appreciate it. This blog is a work in progress. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Let me tell you a little about me: </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I'm currently going to school for Computer Science. I hope to get my AA in the next two years, with a degree in Computer Science. I changed my major from Political Science to Computer Science. I enjoy technology. I've always liked technology. My first Android phone was an HTC Droid Eris. From there, I went to a Motorola Droid, then to a Samsung Fascinate, a Samsung Stratosphere, and now, I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I recently rooted my Nexus (with the help of some awesome people), and am looking forward to working with my phone in the future. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Other things I enjoy include Game of Thrones, Modern Family, Desperate Housewives, and looking up technology videos on YouTube. I may be a little geeky compared to the average consumer these days, but it can only get worse. :) </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This blog will mostly be about my interests for now. Once I find a steady ground (and maybe some viewers), I'll change it around. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Thanks for reading. :) </span></b>christina.cooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14356457377196415649noreply@blogger.com0
