Samsung Galaxy Tab price guide

Samsung Galaxy Tab price guide Our guide to getting the best value Galaxy Tab on offer Image 1 of 2 6 Comments At launch, Samsung's Galaxy Tab is available across all five of the UK's major networks. But it doesn't exactly come cheap, with prices starting at around £499, which makes it more costly than the entry-level iPad. Currently just about the best Android tablet out there, the Galaxy Tab appears the only serious option for those keen to try Google's mobile OS on a tablet computer. Its pricing, however, could mean that only true Android fans buy one. "Pricing the device so close to the iPad could be a parlous decision," says Jonathan Leggett, an expert at comparison site...

Remote video monitoring of a site without broadband or electricity

I am a member of a fly fishing club and we lease a private lake stocked with trout and a number of very large carp. Unfortunately, the predation of poachers is becoming a real problem. We try to patrol the lake in the evening and at night but some of our members are elderly or live some distance from the lake so our patrols tend to be rather patchy. Is there any way we could monitor the lake from a distance? The main problem is that there is no mains electricity. I wondered about the feasibility of mounting a motorised web cam on a small island in the middle of the lake and monitor it wirelessly from a distance of a few miles. If so, what equipment would be needed?Gerald B. Gill, by email It can be done but it is going to be a challenge....

Samsung announces Galaxy Tab 3

Although the Tab 3 is a competitor to Google's Nexus 7, the new tablet from Korea lacks the latest edition of Android Jelly Bean, released in November 2012, which features gesture typing and multiple user accounts for tablet devices. With a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera and a 3G model available from June, the Tab 3's main advantage over its predecessors and competitors appears to be video calling, which manufacturers continue to embrace with greater enthusiasm than consumers. A Wi-Fi-only option for the Tab 3 will be available next month. Compared to the Tab 2, the screen resolution has not increased but the weight has decreased, down from 345g to just over 300g. Battery capacity has remained the same at 4,000mAh, and there is the...

Xbox One: gamer backlash over 'fee' for pre-owned titles

Xbox One: gamer backlash over 'fee' for pre-owned titles For many gamers, swapping among friends is a free and legal way of experiencing more games for less hard-earned cash. But for Xbox users, that may be all about to change. Microsoft has outlined details of its plans for pre-owned titles played on Xbox One, and the future looks gloomy. Upon purchase of a game, a unique code linked to Xbox Live is issued that can only be used once and is verified online. Other users wanting to play a game will then have to buy the right to play the game – at full price. The code "sits on your hard drive and you have permission to play that game as long as you’d like," Microsoft corporate vice president Phil Harrison told the Kotaku tech...

Sony Xperia Tablet Z review

Sony Xperia Tablet Z reviewFrom £399 Can a tablet ever be too thin? Sony’s Xperia Tablet Z is the companion device to its (xcellent) Xperia Z mobile phone, and both use a slimline design that is stylish, angular, waterproof and dustproof. The Tablet Z is a lightweight 495g and just 6.9mm thick, yet it gave me a great battery life of more than seven hours. It feels more futuristic even than the iPad simply because it is so implausibly thin and lasts so long. And while I must confess I had no need or urge to test out its waterproof features, that addition is a useful thing to have too. It’s the tablet you could take into the bath if you really can’t put down that book or magazine. Unfortunately, however, the Tablet Z doesn’t quite...

(CNN) Change.org was hacked late Friday by someone who made "cosmetic" changes on the popular petition website, officials said. No personal information was stolen, spokesman Benjamin Joffe-Walt said in a written statement. He added that none of the 12 petitions targeted had its number of signatures affected. The modified petitions included one calling for officials to end the prosecution of a Florida teen charged in connection with a same-sex relationship with a 14-year-old; a petition to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay; and a petition to allow gay Boy Scouts leaders, said Brianna Cayo-Cotter, a spokeswoman for Change.org.

Lighter Yikebike Big changes seem inevitable in the global transport infrastructure over the coming decade, with mankind facing significant mobility challenges. The drastic need to conserve energy, reduce emissions, and move efficiently around the cities where more than half of our seven billion citizens live must inevitably lead to significant change. The realization that current public road infrastructure cannot accommodate everyone having a full-sized car appears to have finally dawned on the governments of the world. Expanding public urban road infrastructure is very difficult and very costly because new roads need to go where existing public roads or land is available, or above it. Hence, any changes to the transport infrastructure...

Flight testing the Seabreacher X – the 300 horsepower bionic shark

Though it fails to fit into any traditional man-made watercraft category, the Seabreacher X is remarkably comfortable in the water, turning quicker than anything made by man and happily skipping across the tops of the waves at 50 mph. This is not surprising given that it's based on a shape refined over 420 million years at the top of the ocean food chain – the shark. Give it more horsepower than Valentino Rossi's MotoGP bike, make it so light that it has the power-to-weight ratio of a Bugatti Veyron and you get the Seabreacher X. Its semi-pressurized hull enables it to tickle your adrenalin glands both above and below the waves, and it rates as the most outrageous boy's toy I have ever sampled.   The ONE we got to try was fitted...
