With the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, the company decided to go back to where it all started.

If compared with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or 8.9, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus looks like the fraternal twin of these earlier versions. The hardware configurations as well as the design of both of the compared entities are almost the same.

HTC Explorer Review

The HTC Explorer with its affordable price tag has become a sweet spot for budget friendly Android smartphones that not only offers a comparatively good smartphone experience but also does not compromise on the features. It is the most affordable Android smartphone to date that is more or less similar to the HTC Wildfire S which retails at just a few bucks more but practically both the phones are same with only one or two differences. So, let us see whether this budget friendly hottest foray of HTC will pall in the crowd or will it grow back like a phoenix from the ashes?

Although the Omnia W 18350 has not drawn all such attention towards itself as a result of blowing the numbers out of proportion. The new Samsung Omnia W I8350 is tied in with a Super-sized 3.7-inch AMOLED and has a WVGA resolution of 480 x 800 pixels along with 16 million colors over and above Samsung Omnia W I8350 is reinforced by the Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon with a clock speed 1.4 GHz Single Core.

HTC Rhyme Review

The HTC Rhyme has a purse charm and comes in colors that no man can name. This handset going to appeal the ladies out there. The phone is specially designed for ladies which itself is not an easy job. For that reason accessories are there. The HTC Rhyme is the latest addition by the company to the Verizon wireless line-up that sets itself apart from the other phones in the family as it is specifically designed and targeted for women.

The handset is a profound, luscious plum color that provides this mid-range HTC smartphone something a little bit different to the blocks of black that are ruling the market. And, probably, not completely estranging men from their target market either with their second bronzey-silvery color that's available. This time with HTC Rhyme the company decided to crack down on the accessories thereby, heading its promotion campaign with a radiant purse appeal to avoid missing calls.

Although the phone is marketed as ladies phone yet you will not find anyone at HTC calling the HTC Rhyme the ladies smartphone. Furthermore the company is extra cautious in not referring the phone to Android and even they do not call this phone a smartphone in any of their advertisements. It looks like as they did not plan the HTC Rhyme as a girl phone and later they decided to market it as one.

The accessories it ships with make it different from other Android mobile phones. The HTC Rhyme comes with a leather pouch, a docking cradle, headphones and Charm cube that lights up upon an incoming call or message. All in one it is a feature-rich smartphone that ships with loads of surprising accessories. Let us have a close look!

The handset is well suited option for those who would like to carry tablet for the abovementioned features because all these three features not only enchant the desire of having a tablet but ultimately end up essentially needing one for them.

The only thing which is not so cool about Tablets is the need to carry two devices all the time, in particular when one of them won't fit into any practical pocket. This is the point where the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 comes into play. It is intended to compress the high-resolution screen and battery longevity of a tablet into a package that is yet affordable for anyone and it does its job pretty well however success is not at all guaranteed.
