5 Awesome SMS Android Apps
By: Danny Ashton
One of the basic needs of a mobile phone is to be able to connect to other people by the power of texting. Text messaging, also known as SMS, is one of the functions never to be missed out in a phone. Although text messaging is an old function, it is good to know that its style has evolved over time. The Android market, for one, never fails to give SMS a modern touch. Currently, there are numerous applications that can help manage your SMS messages and present them in a visually appealing way but among these apps, the five hailed as awesome are presented below:
1. SMS Popup
This is a customizable application that comes with features to improve the efficiency of your SMS. SMS Popup’s user interface is simple and functional. One of its useful features is the popup dialog box which allows you to reply quickly once you receive a new message. Whenever you get a new SMS, a small dialog box will pop up showing the message and the person sending it. Moreover, you can simply reply or delete the SMS with this dialog box. What’s more amazing is that you can use the app’s voice button to use the speech-to-text feature. This is especially great when you’re already tired using your precious thumbs. Surely, SMS Popup is one must-have extension to your standard SMS application.
2. Handcent SMS
This is an enhanced SMS application that gives you a lot of customization options. This app shows text message conversations in a bubble design that is easier to follow and is more pleasing to look at as compared to the standard SMS system in Android. Still, you can change the background color of your conversations, choosing from several types of message presentations and importing new font packages to fancy up the lettering. Once you open Handcent on your Android phone, you will see a list of your contacts and to start a messaging session with a new contact, you either choose an existing contact or you hit a button at the top of the screen. After choosing a contact, you will see a screen containing a message stream from your most recent messaging session with that particular contact. You can now start the messaging and continue the stream. Handcent’s interface includes a phone button at the top of each messaging screen in case you decide to stop the messaging session and call the person. A Handcent widget on your phone also tells you if you have new messages and how many there are. Overall, this app lets you spruce up the look and feel of your Android phone’s messaging function.
3. ChompSMS
This is one great text messaging app that includes features like contact picture thumbnails, time stamps on messages which are shown in sequence, set-up of specific ringtones for contacts, and blacklisting of certain numbers.

Also, if you want to enable the quick call and contact picture functions, you just need to go to Settings, then customize Look, scroll to the bottom and check the last two features. The bonus point of this app is that it features a free text messaging service called TextFreek. However, it is only exclusive among TextFreek users.
4. GoSMS
Among the different SMS applications, this is the only app that offers security and back-up or recovery settings. Such settings are handy especially if you’re thinking of doing a factory reset or you want to change phones. The security settings are very similar to Android’s lock screen settings, which offer pin-based unlocking methods.
5. Google Voice
One of the features of this app is that it assigns a personal phone number to you as the user. You can use this number to make calls or to send text messages via the web. Google Voice’s online service archives your voice mails and text messages, giving you a guarantee that you will never lose your conversations.

By: Danny Ashton
Consult Mr. Webster for the meaning of simple and you get the words: ordinary, easy, and plain. Not so impressive, right? Well, we cannot deny the fact that we are living in an era wherein simplicity is almost associated with nothingness. We are not awed with simple things. We do not believe their capacities until we see them with our own two eyes. We have always believed that all answers come from complicated solutions. If it’s not complicated, we doubt on it.
What you see is not always what you get. What appears simple in the outside is not always the same in the inside. This is so true with gadgets too. Often, we get flabbergasted only with those sleek, beautifully-designed devices. When such things appear plain to us, we don’t give too much attention. But get ready to be amazed now. Why?

3. Spy Pen
This is not just your usual writing pen. The Spy Pen has a hidden micro camcorder that acts as your surveillance camera. Whether you place this in your collar or on your desk, nobody is aware that you are already capturing the behaviour of the people around you. Alternatively, this pen can also be used as a webcam and as a flash drive to transfer files.
4. Wi-Fi Detector Shirt
By wearing the Wi-Fi Detector Shirt, you can detect nearby Wi-Fi signals and share them with everybody through your chest. After using the shirt, you can slip the batteries out of its built-in pouch, remove the decal, and wash it.
5. Vuzix AV310
With this video eyewear, you can see movies and other stuffs with the widescreen 16:9 viewing experience in 2D and 3D formats. How? By simulating a 52’ screen from 9 feet away. This can run for 5 hours on a single battery and is compatible with most video devices.

5 Awesome IPad Alternatives
By: Danny Ashton
Apple’s iPad is a revolutionary breakthrough in terms of tablet computers. Its adequate screen size, ample internal storage, high-speed processor and availability of applications just make most consumers to crave more on this product. Not everyone knows that a lot of computer companies have also developed their own tablet computers, fueling the real competition. Every product has its own advantages and disadvantages. Screen size and response, processor power and internal storage capacity are just few of the many specifications that consumers need to look into.
Here are some of the 5 best iPad alternatives in the market today:
1. Asus Eee Pad Transformer
This unique tablet comes with a keyboard dock and boasts of a 10.1-inch capacitive display. With a 1280x800 resolution, viewing movies with this tablet is a breeze. This tablet is also powered by an Nvidia Tegra 2 Dual Core processor and also sports two cameras in the front and rear sides. With its keyboard attached, one would mistake it as a netbook.
2. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V
Samsung opted to have their new tablet built with a powerful 8MP camera plus a LED flash. Another camera at 2MP is also built in front for video calling purposes. Powered by the new Android 3.0 operating system, the Galaxy Tab 10.1V has a 1GHz dual core CPU and you can choose either the 16GB or 32GB storage variants. It also has the usual 10.1-inch capacitive screen and with a resolution of 1280x800. It is also much lighter compared to the iPad.
3. Motorola Xoom
Motorola also came out with their tablet, the Xoom. It has similar technical specifications with the Asus Eee Pad Transformer minus the keyboard dock and the card reader. Other features added are multiple sensors that are built in this tablet. With a Tegra 2 chip, Android 3.0 OS, 5MP and 2MP cameras put together, there’s no doubt the Motorola Xoom is going to be a stealer.
4. BlackBerry Playbook
With its own tablet operating system (QNX), Blackberry has penetrated the tablet market with its Playbook. It is designed to be a mobile tablet with a 7 inch capacitive screen and weighs at a mere 400g. The Playbook is still considered powerful with its own 1GHz Cortex A9 Dual Core processor and 1GB RAM. The downside though is its unavailability of applications that would have helped consumers tinker a lot with this tablet.
5. LG Optimus Pad

It is still considered as one of the powerful tablets with its 1GHz Tegra 2 CPU, 32GB internal storage, 1GB of RAM and an Android 3.0 operating system. Though with all these components in one tablet, expect that the Optimus Pad would not come to your hands cheap.
There are hundreds of options to choose from aside from getting the iPad. Competition is very stiff that one needs to think whether to choose between the technical aspects of the tablet or just buying the company brand itself. Some may think money is not an issue at all but others do. Everything boils down to your budget and needs. The Android operating system is one major competitor for Apple, what with the thousands of developers constantly giving away free applications. There’s no doubt people would look for iPad alternatives. Price, technical specifications and portability will be the main factors in deciding to get one.
