Android Epads a new way to surf the net

May 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Before I put fingers to buttons (that's pen to paper in modern terms), I remembered back 20 years ago when I was a little 14 year old lad watching with awe, an electrician fixing the main power box for the housing estate right outside our driveway and he was talking to who I can only assume, one of his colleagues, using a big black brick like object, an object that today very few of us don't processes; you guessed it, the mobile phone. How times have now changed. That was 20 years ago and today if you didn't own your own mobile phone, you would be the ridiculous one!

But 20 years is a long time and naturally things evolve but I feel like I have just blinked and the world of computers has changed before my eyes. One second the laptop is the computer of choice and now its touchscreen objects called ipads. And to go one step further, the Chinese have brought out this thing called the epad which is a fraction of the cost of an ipad. They are referred to as "tablets" but I just cannot get this image out of my mind of a monk carving ancient literature on a smooth flat square stone. Can you?

With money tight and a desire to own the latest craze, I purchased one online from a local online store called epad.ie. The next day it arrived and I was out in my slippers and dressing gown to greet the postman to sign for it. It wasn't as big as the ipad (7 inch screen to be exact) but it was a lot bigger than the iphone and just the right size for me to carry as called on my clients. It took me a while to get the feel of it but once I did there was no stopping me. I was very impressed by the quality of the picture as I watched one of my favourite movies, Goodfellas on it. And although the internet speed was a bit slower than what Im used to, it wasnt a problem for me. If you are an iphone fanatic and there are lots of them out there, you will love the epad. For all you technically minded out there, here is the lowdown of what the epad actually has under its roof: Its operating system is google android 1.6 which supports software such as excel, word and powepoint and also enables you to view files such as pdf and software like msn and skype. You can even attach a webcam to it to skype all your international friends!. The memory is 256MB which is reasonable considering the price, and the battery lasts around 2 hours which is the same as my Dell laptop which was impressive. It also comes in a whole range of language options from French to Japanese.

All said, it was a thumbs up from me.
