| A Boxing Day?! |
When I was a little boy, I hoped my father would sent me a Nintendo Game Boy as holiday present. Unfortunately this wish had never come true in my childhood. Smartphones, tablets, game consoles, these gadgets are widely welcomed by kids and adults nowadays. Since there are too many good gadgets for Christmas gifts, and different people may have different choices on their wish lists. Here I only mention 6 of my expected ones in Boxing Day 2012.
1. iPhone 5
Have you already sent this phone to your family? Or just received one as Christmas gift? Remember to get a cool iPhone shell to avoid scratching.
2. iPad mini
Do you remember the above quote? One year after Job's death, apple launches a 7.9-inch mini version of iPad tablet. And now it's reported that the company is about to ship 12 million units during this year. Was Steve Job wrong? At least he was partly wrong because iPad mini comes up with a 7.9-inch display, not a 7-inch one.
Why do people love iPad mini? It's smaller, lighter, cheaper and more portable than a full-sized one. The only weakness of the tablet is the lack of a Retina display. Now it's rumored that the iPad mini 2 is in the works, if true, this new thingy will be announced in a few months.
3. Samsung Galaxy S III
Who is currently the largest competitor of apple in smartphone and tablet market? Google? No. The answer is Samsung. As the largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world, Samsung has successfully launched 2 flagships during this year: Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II.
For the Galaxy S III, this device comes up with a 4.8-inch AMOLED display in 1280 * 720 resolution. It has a 1.4 GHz quad-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 16 or 32 GB internal storage and a 8 MP rear camera. Now this handset is confirmed to update OS to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
4. Google Nexus 7
Looking for a budget tablet other than iPads for family or yourself? Then Nexus 7 is your first choice. Designed by Google, made by Asus and equipped with a quad-core processor, this 7-inch tablet is excellent for watching movies and doing office job.
As the very first tablet from Google, Nexus 7 runs the latest Android Jelly Bean OS and supports more than 700 thousand apps on Google Play.
The price of Nexus 7 starts at $199 with WiFi and 16 GB internal storage on Google Play. There’s no way of expanding the memory so customers need to choose among 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB versions.
5. Sony PlayStation Vita
When talking about mobile gaming on the go, it seems we have only two choices on portable devices: Nintendo and Sony. When the Nintendo Game Boy evolves to 3DS, Sony's PSP also turns into PS Vita.
The PS Vita is Launched in USA since early 2012, this powerful and portable gaming device has a 5-inch AMOLED display and an ARM Cortex-A9 quad-core processor. Games are stored on a flash memory card called "PlayStation Vita game card", quite different from PSD's UMD.
6. Touchscreen gloves
Touchscreen devices are so popular that even my grandfather has one. Here comes a problem: capacitive touch tech doesn’t work with gloved hands. In this case people may need a pair of touchscreen-friendly gloves. These products can conduct your body’s natural electricity and let you tap away merrily without having to expose your hands to the frigid outdoor air.
Here are some good touchscreen gloves for your reference.
iPhone X is a smartphone designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. It was announced on September 12, 2017, alongside the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus at the Steve Jobs Theater in the Apple Park campus. The phone was released on November 3, 2017.
