It’s about that time folks – the time to run down the Top 10 tablets that we’re expecting to see in 2011. Now that the flood gates on this year’s wave of high-powered tablets aimed at the heart of Apple’s iPad, we know more about what 2011 will bring us in the tablet space. We previously showed you which tablets to look for in our top tablet countdown, but with all the recently announced hardware, we decided to add an extra five spots to the list.

Whether it’s Android OS, webOS, iOS, or QNX, the new generation of tablets is surely going to please.

10. HTC Scribe

Yeah, we know, we don’t know much about this device right now. But, it still deserves a spot on this list, albeit the last spot (due to incomplete specs and availability info). HTC does some remarkable work with their hardware, and if they dive into the tablet market, we wouldn’t expect anything less than an extraordinary tablet. One thing we’ll love to see from this tablet is a tablet-optimized version of the Sense UI, which runs atop Android OS. We can expect to see things like an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core chipset, 1280 x 720 resolution, 2 GB of internal memory, a 32 GB micro SD card, and a handful of more features. Until we hear more about the Scribe, it’ll sit at number 10 for now.

9. Acer Iconia A500

Acer’s upcoming Honeycomb tablet looks like it will be pack quite the punch with a 10.1 inch display, Intel Sandy Bridge processor, Verizon 4G LTE support, HDMI port and 1080p video out. Acer touts this tablet as the perfect gamer’s device, and the hardware onboard would certainly support that statement. There’s no official release date for this tablet, but we can expect it sometime in the very near future as Verizon begins to ramp up their LTE network in the coming months. Even Acer’s Froyo tablets are very nice, and I’d pick one up before the Galaxy Tab any day, even without the Android Market.

8. Toshiba Tablet

Way to step it up, Toshiba. We caught a glimpse of this device at a party during CES, and we were very impressed with the hardware. The device was running Froyo, but we’ll see this thing running Honeycomb once it actually ships. This powerfully-spec’d tablet comes with a 10.1 inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800, NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 5 megapixel camera on the back, and a 2 megapixel camera on the front for video-chatting. The unnamed tablet also sports a full-sized SD card slot, HDMI port, 1080p HD video output. The backing of the tablet uses a rubberized material, called EasyGrip, which will also be replaceable. You can also replace the battery in this device as well, just in case you’re a power user. One thing is for sure, this tablet is no Folio.

7. Dell Streak 7

Dell has had the Streak available a while now, with lackluster results. This year, it looks like the computer maker is stepping up their game with the upcoming Dell Streak 7 tablet. Expected to hit T-Mobile in the near future, The Streak 7 is a 7 inch (WVGA resolution), Android 2.2 tablet that sports HSPA+, and may sit nicely next to the G-Slate as a smaller, more portable alternative. The Streak 7 tablet comes with a 5 megapixel camera on the back, and a 1.3 megapixel camera on the front for video chatting. Along with most of the other tablets on this list, the Streak 7 will ship with NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 dual-core chipset, making it more than capable of handling virtually any media you throw at it. We’re glad to see Dell is taking the tablet market seriously now, and hopefully we’ll see the Streak 7 get bumped up to Honeycomb soon after its release.

6. Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

Samsung’s Hummingbird processor

not fast enough for you? That’s OK, as Samsung will soon be bringing us a dual-core version of their 7 inch Android tablet. While we may see another Tegra 2 in the tablet, there’s also a chance that we may see Samsung’s own dual-core Orion chipset onboard. Samsung has their ARM Cortex A9-based Orion chip in the works, but it’s looking likely that it won’t be ready in time for the likes of the Galaxy Tab 2. Another thing to look forward to on the Galaxy Tab 2 is that is just may ship with Samsung’s popular Super AMOLED display, giving it a crisp and clear experience throughout. Since we’ve seen what Honeycomb brings to the tablet, we’re sure everyone will be more than disappointed if this tablet shipped with anything less than Honeycomb. Rumored to be announced at Mobile World Congress next month, it sounds like we may be hearing more about this tablet very soon.

5. BlackBerry PlayBook

RIM’s very first tablet, the BlackBerry PlayBook, is shaping up to be quite the powerhouse. Many were doubting that RIM could bring a quality tablet to market, but they have done just that, and the Playbook is a great device that could even appeal to non-enterprise users. This 7 inch tablet also comes with a dual-core CPU, but it’s from Texas Instruments, and not NVIDIA this time around. In addition to its multi-core CPU, the Playbook also sports 1 GB of RAM, HDMI port, 1080p HD video playback, and a handful of other features you’d expect from a quality tablet. Shipping with Sprint’s 4G under the hood, the Playbook will fly in more than one way when it’s released.

4. WebOS Tablets

One of the most anticipated tablets, by far, would have to be the WebOS tablets, the Topaz and Opal. Most of the tablets in this countdown are running Android, but the introduction of a WebOS tablet certainly appeals to most of us here at IntoMobile. Coming in 9 and 7 inch versions, these tablets will have the ultra-slick, HP-refined, WebOS onboard in all it’s deck-of-cards, multitasking glory. While I’m looking forward to Android Honeycomb, I’m pretty much equally excited to see WebOS on a bigger screen.

3. Motorola Xoom

The Motorola Xoom will be the very first Android Honeycomb tablet to actually ship to customers, and it’s coming your way through Verizon Wireless. A WiFi-only version will eventually surface, but until then, you’ll have to go through Big Red. This 10.1 inch monster features Android 3.0 Honeycomb, NVIDIA’s 1 GHz dual-core Tegra 2 chipset, a 5 megapixel camera on back, a 2 megapixel camera on the front, HDMI port with 1080p HD video support. Add in the built-in gyroscope, barometer, e-compass, accelerometer and adaptive lighting, and you have one beast of a tablet. Although it’s upgradable to 4G LTE with optional add-on hardware, the Xoom will not ship with Verizon’s 4G LTE out of the box, so you’ll have to wait until Q2 before you can taste that kind of speed.

2. LG G-Slate

T-Mobile will carry the second Android Honeycomb tablet, the G-Slate. Made by LG, we’re expecting a spec sheet similar to that of the Motorola Xoom, but there’s one thing that bumped this tablet to number 2. The G-Slate ships with T-Mobile’s HSPA+ 4G network out of the box, and won’t require any sort of hardware upgrade in order to “xoom” along the wireless internets at broadband-like speeds. We know LG decided to wait until Android 3.0 before shipping their tablet, and it looks like the waiting has paid off. The G-Slate may not be too far off, either, as we’ve seen a mysterious LG tablet device with Magenta’s AWS bands already passing through the FCC. The G-Slate is one of many awesome devices LG is about to begin shipping this year, and we can’t wait to get our hands on this thing.

1. Apple iPad 2

This should be no surprise to anyone, but the crown of tablets will be given to Apple’s next generation iPad. The rumored specs on the iPad 2 are absolutely ridiculous, almost to the point of hilarity, and that only makes us more excited to see what’s in store for the second-generation iPad. It may not have the Retina Display that we were hoping for, but some rumors indicate that the iPad 2 will still likely use a display with higher resolution than the current iPad. We could possibly also see the iPad 2 getting a multi-core processor, and SD card slot for more storage. Apple likes to keep their products under wraps, so we have to wait a bit longer until we see the real power behind the most popular tablet’s successor.

Make Your Own Alarm Clock

2011-05-14T09:18:00.000-07:00

Hi friends,

Today I am here to give you all the process of making an alarm clock.

 Many of us would feel the need to have an on screen alarm clock to

 remind us of our important tasks. You can add any tasks like opening

a browser or maybe your HDD [e.g.: C:]. So, today I am posting about

making you own alarm clock. This would be very useful as you do

not need install any softwares.

Hit The Rat - Make It

2011-05-14T09:17:00.000-07:00

Hi friends,

Today I am here to give you all the process of making the popular

game Hit The Rat.The aim of the game is to hit the rat with your

club as soon as it pops out of its hole. You can try hitting the rat

with the quickest reaction time, or hit as many rats in a row as

possible. Your score is recorded in the same directory as the game file.

This is very easy to make since I have provided you with the coding.

To get the game just follow the simple steps :

Copy the text given below in the scrollbox.

Make a new Text file by clicking on Start >

 All Programs > Accessories > Notepad.

Paste the entire code in the new text document.

Click on File > Save As > Change "Save As Type"

to "All Files".

Give the file name Hit The Rat.bat

[N.B.: Do not forget to give the extension as .bat]

```
Click on Save.
```
```
Now double-click to Play the game. 
```

Deal Or No Deal - Make It

2011-05-14T09:16:00.000-07:00

Hi friends,

Today I am here to give you all the process of making the

game Deal Or No Deal.

::I have based this game's format loosely on the British tv show

'Deal Or No Deal' owned by Endemol.
:: I do not own any part of the show and have created this basic

 program only to educate on ways to use, and the capabilities of,

 the language.
:: Note, throughout the game I have had to use dollar signs

 instead of pound signs, as batch files won't accept them for some

 reason...

This is very easy to make since I have provided you the coding.

To get the game just follow the simple steps :

Copy the text given below in the scrollbox.

Make a new Text file by clicking on Start >

 All Programs > Accessories > Notepad.

Paste the entire code in the new text document.

Click on File > Save As > Change "Save As Type"

to "All Files".

Give the file name Deal or No Deal.bat

[N.B.: Do not forget to give the extension as .bat]

```
Click on Save.
```
```
Now double-click to Play the game. 
```

2011-05-14T09:15:00.000-07:00

Hi friends,

Today I am here to give you all the process of making the popular

game MINESWEEPER.

This is very easy to make since I have provided you with the coding.

To get the game just follow the simple steps :

Copy the text given below in the scrollbox.

Make a new Text file by clicking on Start >

 All Programs > Accessories > Notepad.

Paste the entire code in the new text document.

Click on File > Save As > Change "Save As Type"

to "All Files".

Give the file name Minesweeper.bat

[N.B.: Do not forget to give the extension as .bat]

```
Click on Save.
```
```
Now double-click to Play the game. 
```

World's top 10 anti viruses

2011-05-14T09:14:00.000-07:00

Hi friends,

Today I am here to give you all the list of the world's top ten antiviruses.

In today's life one can not live without Internet and Internet cannot be

without Viruses. Yes friends, this word may sound like just another 5

letter word but it can really burn a hole in your pocket or for that matter

can destroy your computer 's documents. So its becomes excessively

important that one must properly guard one's PC from any such thre

ats.There are 10-15 large antivirus brands to choose from and although 
most seem relativelysimilar there are a number of significant differences.

 The most important are price, usability, performance and mangement.

Price is based on the cheapest available version at the cheapest possible online sales channel. Usability is based on user interface and warnings.
Performance is based on the system-slowdown,detection and protection level including penalties for false-alerts. Management is based on options for all sorts of configuration.

1. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010
		Kaspersky leads the pack due to its very high detection rate (96%) while being the product which slows down the PC the least. We recommend this as the #1 choice for home PCs

2. Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2010
		Norton antivirus is the worlds most sold anti-virus and also has very impressive detection rate (96%) while not slowing the PC down much. In the 2009 version it is better than ever before.

3. BitDefender Antivirus 2010

4. Eset NOD32

5. Panda Antivirus Pro 2010

6. Alwil Avast 4 Professional Edition

7. Grisoft AVG 7.5 Professional

8. Trend Micro

9. McAfee VirusScan

10. F-secure

Speed Up SATA Hard Drives & USB Drives In Windows Vista

2011-05-11T04:20:00.000-07:00

Hi friends,

Today I am gonna tell you about how to Speed Up SATA Hard Drives & USB Drives In Windows Vista. Window Vista has built in support for SATA and external drives, but they seem to be slow because the advanced write cache features aren’t automatically activated.

-With just few steps you can enable them and get a much faster response.

-First you need to go to the Device Manager which you can go directly by just typing device in the start menu search box or just type in devmgmt.msc in command line.

-Now open the Disk drives section and right click on your hard drive.

-Now click on the Policies tab and you’ll find this dialog box: Now click the checkbox for Enable advanced performance, and you are done.

-Write caching isn’t enabled by default as removing devices directly without using the “Safely remove removable device”may lose your data, so be cautious when enabling this options. But enabling this option also when speeding up performance significantly when writing to the disk.

-Now select the external drive and double click it to open up the properties screen.
-Then just change the setting to “Optimize for performance” and hit OK to continue.

-You’ll have to reboot for all the settings to take effect.

-Next time you boot into Windows Vista you’ll see faster bootup times and better disk writing performance.

So this was a simple process on how to Speed Up SATA Hard Drives & USB Drives In Windows Vista. Hope you have enjoyed it.

Importants about Antiviruses and a harmful Malware : Trojan Horse

2011-05-11T03:03:00.000-07:00

Hi friends,

Today I am gonna add a very important post.This is a very well know and harm full virus. So its removal is necessary ..

This are some facts about Trojan Malware :

-Trojan Win32 Agent is a Type of Malware which is capable of installing software/programs on your computer without your permission.

-The program installed will launch whenever your computer is restarted/rebooted.

-These types of Trojans may even steal your Data files according to the wish of the hacker.

-While you can get rid of a Trojan Win32 Agent manually, the removal process can be difficult for some, and in some cases may still not be enough to properly remove the infection.

-For most computer users, antivirus software will be the best method for both removing the trojan and protecting the computer from future infections.

How to Remove it?

* Download and install an antivirus program such as kaspersky Antivirus, Norton Antivirus, Avast Antivirus or any highly rated antivirus software.

-If the trojan has rendered you unable to connect to the Internet, download the software in Windows “Safe Mode with Networking.

-” If necessary, use another computer to download the software to a CD or USB drive, and then install the program from the device.

-* Run the antivirus program.

-Update the software’s definitions; usually antivirus software, after installation, is not completely up-to-date.

-This means it might not be able to detect the Trojan Win32 Agent until it is updated. An update utility program is included with most antivirus software.

-Launch this utility upon running the software.

-* After the definitions have updated, use the software to designate which files and folders you want scanned. It’s usually a good idea to scan the entire hard disk.

-* Press the scan button and allow the software to search for the Trojan Win32 Agent.

-This may take anywhere from several minutes to a few hours.

-* Follow the antivirus software’s instructions on how to remove the trojan.

-Some antivirus software will automatically remove the infection; other such software will allow you to either quarantine or delete the infection.

-* Schedule your antivirus software to scan your drive at least once a week. Configure the software so that it will scan every file you download to make sure none are infected.

-Most virus removal software will do this automatically.

This was an easy but important topic. Hope my readers will appreciate my effort of keeping you all safe . Enjoy..!!!

Change the icons of Drives

2011-05-10T07:40:00.000-07:00

Hi friends,

Today Soumodip is gonna guide you through a cool and useful hack. Now you can change the icons of your drives in my computer.All the Xp users would have been bored by the boring icons in their My Computer panel which are adjacent to the Hard disk drives(C:,D: or whatever drive letter you have).

Here is a simple tweak by which you will be able to change this monotonous icon to anything you like,even your own Picture if you wish you can put any image in place of one which I have shown,even the picture of your favourite celebrity or your dream caror your own Picture.
   -Here are the steps you need to follow:
          1.First of all the picture you want to use should have .ico extension(if you already have a pic with .ico extension proceed to step 2).Most of the pictures we normally use have extensions like .jpg,.bmp,.png..gif etc, so you first need to convert them to one with .ico extension.
          2.Now go to My Computer.
Suppose you want to put this icon in place of your original C: image. Double click and enter C: .Paste your .ico image file in it.Also create a new text file and in it type the following lines: [autorun] ICON=favicon.ico Remember that ‘favicon.ico’ is the name of your image file.If you have an image file with .ico extension by the name of ‘abc.ico’,then use that in place of ‘favicon.ico’.
          3.Now rename this text file as ‘ autorun.inf ‘ (without the quotes).
                      N.B. ::: How do I rename my text file as autorun.inf ?
                      Ans.Go to Tools-Folder options.Under the View tab uncheck the ‘Hide extensions for known file types’.Press apply.
                     -Now rename your text file as ‘autorun.inf’.
          4.Now restart your Pc.

You are done.Check out the cool new picture you have just added in your My computer panel. These were the simple step to Change the icons of Drives .

TIP ::: You can use this trick for pendrives and CDs.

I will be back with yet another trick. Till then keep exploring. Enjoy ..!!!

How to delete Administrator password without any software.

2011-05-09T23:41:00.000-07:00

Hi friends,

Today I am back with yet another trick which you can show to your friends. This trick is cool for surprising people at their own house who feel that their computer is safe from you since he has an administrator's password. This trick is a bit tough to try but with a little bit of help from me it would be easy. Now you can rule over all the computers at your home or at your parent's office. There are many methods to do this but today I am jotting down two best methods. Here they are :

METHOD - 1

This Method is a bit tough so try this only if you have proper knowledge about PC Hardwares. Click here to register to our official web site.

Step 1. Put your hard disk of your computer in any other pc .

Step 2. Boot that computer and use your hard disk as a secondary hard disk (D'nt boot as primary hard disk ).

Step 3. Then open that drive in which the victim’s window(or your window) is installed.

Step 4. Go to location Start > My Computer > windows > system32 > config

Step 5. And delete SAM.exe and SAM.log
Step 6. Now remove hard disk and put in your computer.

Step 7. And boot your computer .

N.B.: This trick works without any other damage only if the PC has an administrator password. Try this at your own risk.

METHOD - 2

This solution works only if your hard drive is FAT kind. Click here to register to our official web site.

Create fake error messages

2011-05-09T10:24:00.000-07:00

Hi friends,
Today I, Soumodip Sinha, am gonna tell you how to make a fake error message in windows using nothing but notepad.

Imagine u send an email to your friend containing an attachment and when the person opens it he finds an error message saying that you have taken over his computer. It would really be awesome right ?? So, here is the simple steps to do this mischief.

Firstly, go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad.

Then, type in this coding :

                 lol=msgbox("Any message",20,"Warning")

       N.B: In the place of "Any message" write the matter explaining the trouble. This is
          merely imaginary since the problem would be whatever you write since there is no main
          problem.
                 In the place of "Warning" write what you would like the heading to be. You would want it
          to be brief and simple to give it a real look.
                 The rest of the coding has to be exact and precise with no extra spaces or punctuations.

Next, Click on File > Save As. Type the desired name. But before clicking on Save you have to change the save as type to "All Files" and add the extension .VBS (in capitals) and click on save.
To give it a more realistic look and to trap more people change the icon by right-clicking on the file and clicking on Properties.
Now add the file as attachment of email or send it to any pendrives.
It would look like this :

It cannot be cancelled. Dont bother on pressing Yes or No as both will have no effect.

    N.B.: This is only for educational purpose and it is strictly told not to use it to bully unknown people. The site is not responsible for its use.

   Hope this was useful. Enjoy ..!!!

Hi Friends,

Today I am back with yet another helpful trick but this time it is for Mobile Phones. Recently you must have noticed those big and bulky handsets in the handsets of many of your friends. Not only are this phones featured but also priced low. You might envy them, but according to me you are good with what you have. Believe me. The problem arises when you try to install some app or some games. The root of most problems are the low virtual memory or the RAM. One more common hurdle is the invalidity of IMEI number. This is the number which is usually used by many sites to check if the phone is valid or not. So, this blog of mine would help you determine whether your phone has a valid IMEI number or not.

   Follow these simple steps to do so :

    1.Press *#06# on your mobile handset and note down the 15 digit IMEI number or remove the battery to find it printed.
      2.Compose a new message from your mobile >> Type your 15 digit IMEI number >> Send it to 53232
      3.If you get “Success” as the reply, then your mobile IMEI number is valid
      4.If you get “Invalid IMEI” as the reply, that means your IMEI number is not valid
      5.You are now done.

   N.B: This process is till now provisional and is not globalized. Try out to check if it works or not and let me know under comments. Enjoy ...!!

Hi friends,
Today I am sharing with you some cool shorthands for drawing lines in MS Word 2007. This software have now become the part and parcel of human life . We use it all the time. Moreover every one is quite used to it. But far all a problem arises when we want to draw horizontal lines. So, today for your convenience I am jotting down a few helpful points.You can add horizontal lines in Word 2007 document quickly by using these shortcuts to break two paragraphs, to mark the end of a document or to break the numerous sections of a document. By simply using a new character such as an asterisk or a pound sign, you can add style to the Word document.Drawing lines are the most easy when we do it directly from the keyboard. These are the easiest way to save time in this regard

Here they are :

    1. For a simple straight line, type three dashes (—) then press Enter.
    2. For a stylish horizontal line, type three asterisks (***) and press Enter.
    3. One more is to type 3 underscores ( ___ ) and press Enter.
    4. For double line type three equal signs (===) and hit Enter to get this line.
    5. Again u can try 3 pound signs ( ### ) and press Enter
    6. Now last but not the least is my favorite .You can also get this by typing in three tildes ( ~~~ ) and hitting   Enter.

   N.B: tildes can be used by pressing Shift+ the button left to "1".

This is a useful trick for busy people and corporate workers. Hope it proves useful. Thanks for reading. Enjoy ...!!

How To Use MNP ?

2011-05-09T01:06:00.000-07:00

Hi friends,

Today I am gonna share some facts about MNP (Mobile Number Portability). It has been quite a long time since MNP has been available in India though it is not available at some places. Hearing about its features many people would like to use it since it is perfect to get rid of your regular operator. Here are a few steps with which you can easily avail MNP. Though these steps are common and easy to follow still I am giving a detailed outline about it .

   1.Firstly, you have to get your UPC (Unique Porting Code). For your UPC send the following SMS to 1900.
           • SMS to be sent : PORT (space) your number to 1900. [charges apply.]
           • Eg. SMS PORT 98XXXXXXXX to 1900.

N.B.: UPC is an alphanumeric code allocated, upon request, by a mobile operator to its subscriber for the purpose of facilitation of porting of his/her mobile number to another operator.

2. Then, you will receive UPC (Unique Porting Code) as a SMS from 1901 giving 8 digit alpha-numeric Unique Porting Code (UPC) and UPC expiry date in MM/DD/YYYY format.

3. Now go to your nearest outlet (which operator wants you to port) showroom

    4. Fill Mobile Number Porting (MNP) form provided by them. It would ask for details like
            • Current Mobile Number
            • Current Operator name
            • UPC code

5. Submit Address & Id proof documents, self-attested photo and last bill copy of postpaid connection (if applicable) along- with filled MNP form and Customer Agreement Form.

6. Buy the MNP SIM card from outlet / showroom. SIM charges, talktime value and porting charge are non- refundable in the event of cancellation / rejection of port-in request.

7. Your new operator will send an SMS on your old/existing operator ’s SIM (existing connection) intimating about the porting date and time, i.e. the date and approximate time till when you can continue to use your existing operator ’s SIM card.
8. There will be a 2-hour ‘no service period’ which will begin after the porting time as given above.The ‘ no service period’ will be between 12 midnight to 5 am during which your mobile service will not be active on any SIM

All efforts will be made to ensure that this ‘no service period’ causes minimum inconvenience to you.
9. After the ‘no service period’, you can replace your existing operator ’s SIM card with the new airtel SIM card in your handset. Call Toll Free Number 1800 103 1111 . Once your SIM card is activated you would be ready to enjoy high-quality network, innovative value added services and best-in class customer service using your existing mobile number.

These were the few easy steps to activate MNP on your mobile phone. Keep reading and following our blogs for more informations. Till then have a nice day. Enjoy ...!!
