    2. Kindle

Just because you don't own a Kindle doesn't mean you shouldn't be buying Kindle eBooks mdash;especially when Amazon has an Android app that's dead simple to use. The e-book wars aren't quite over, but no one will judge you for siding with Amazon. Free.

The Amazon Kindle is a series of e-book reader designed and marketed by Amazon.com. Amazon Kindle devices enable users to shop for, download, browse, and read e-book, newspaper, magazines, blogs, and other digital media via wireless networking.The hardware platform, developed by Amazon.com subsidiary Lab 126 , began as a single device and now comprises a range of devices – some devices using an E Ink Electronic Paper display capable of rendering 16 levels of Gray to simulate reading on paper and tablets that have a colour LCD screen.


    3. MX Player

MX Player is quite possibly the best video player for Android tablets because it packs a ton of features and can play a bunch of different video file formats (avi, mkv, divx, etc.) under the sun.

The best way to enjoy your movies. Hardware acceleration can be applied to more videos with the help of new H/W decoder. MX Player is the first Android video player which supports multi-core decoding. Test result proved that dual-core device’s performance is better up to 70% than that of single-core devices.  Easily zoom in and out by pinching and swiping across the screen and subtitles can be scrolled to move back and forth faster.

    4. Crackle

Sony has released Crackle, an app that streams full-feature movies and popular TV shows to Android for free. For free. For free! We're talking popular TV shows like Seinfeld or big times movies like The Da Vinci Code and all completely free! The app is the same ad-supported streaming service as the Crackle.com website (and iOS apps) and has a decent catalogue from Columbia Pictures, Tri-Star, Screen Gems, Sony Pictures Classics and other studios.


    5. Camera Launcher

Camera Launcher lets you access the camera in the Nexus 7 and flip it into a dedicated camera app so you can take self portraits and/or tickle yourself silly with funny faces. It records video too.




    6. HBO Go

If you're smart enough to order HBO with your cable, HBO Go will let you watch every episode of every season of The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Rome, and any other awesome show HBO has ever made. Oh, and you can stream movies too. Free.




    7. Plume

Sadly, the official Twitter app isn't exactly tablet friendly. Luckily, Plume, a highly customizable Twitter app, works well enough on Android tablets so you won't miss Twitter on your Android tablet.








    8. ES File Explorer

If you like to dig a little deep into whats going on in the innards of your Android tablet, ES File Explorer reveals the file structure of the OS so you can find files, transfer stuff around and all that good stuff.
ES File Explorer is a free, full-featured file and application manager. 
It functions as all of these apps in one: file manager, application manager, task killer, cloud storage client (compatible with Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, Box.net, Sugarsync, Yandex, Amazon S3, and Ubuntu One), FTP client, and LAN Samba client. 
It provides access to pictures, music, video, documents, and other files on both your Android devices and your computers.



    9. Evernote

If you need more features in a "note taker", Evernote is simply a powerhouse of a note taking app. Not only can you jot down notes but you can take pictures, record voice notes and upload files to remember all on their cloud. Free.

Notes can be sorted into folders, then tagged, annotated, edited, given comments, searched and exported as part of a notebook.

Top Ten Gadgets To Look Out For

Top Ten Gadgets To Look Out For



There are many new gadgets that are about to hit the market in a the years to come. Here is a list of few of the gadgets that are new, innovative and worth buying. The gadgets in this list are either available or will be available for customers in a few years.  So here is the list of the top ten gadgets.



          1. Google Glasses

Google Glasses is a wearable computer developed by Google Inc.. The glass displays information like a smartphone in a hands free format. Currently only a developers edition is available that costs $1500. A consumer edition will definitely be priced a lot less. I am a fan of innovative ideas and gadgets by Google. In this article you will find more Google gadgets. Currently a few applications are available for the glass but soon more will come with the launch 



Price: Near $400 - $500
Amazon: Not yet launched


         2. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with Gear

The new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the new smartphone by Samsung launched this year. It has many new innovative features like the wrist watch, 13 MP camera, LED flash and a big 5.7 inch screen. Apart from the gear it comes with a S pen stylus, 4-2 jelly bean, 3 GB ram and a 1.9 GHz quad core + !.3 GHz quad core processor. According to me it is the best smartphone available in the market.




        3. Pebble

Pebble is a wearable smart watch based on the idea of Erik Migicovsky. Runs on Pebble OS and can communicate with android as well as iOS devices using Bluetooth. Available only on pre-order,  its battery life is up-to seven days.


Price: $150 USD

        4. Nexus 5

New launch by Google Inc. Nexus 5 comes packed with 2.3 GHz Qualcomm processor and 2 GB ram. The two best features of Google Nexus 5 is that, it is a Google product and thus gets maximum attention and upgrades and second that it comes with v4.4 kitkat . It has a 4-95 inch display and clicks photos using a 8 MP camera.


        5. iPhone 5s

The new iPhone 5 S looks exactly like iPhone 5 but has many new features like 4 - inch retina display and the new innovative fingerprint unlock. It comes with a 8 MP camera and a dual core processor.


        6. Panasonic's 20 inch 4K Tablet

Panasonic showed off their 20 inch 4K tablet earlier this year and now it is officially going on sale.The device coming to the market has 8 GB of ram and 256 GB of SSD. It also comes packed with Intel core i5 processor. 

Price: $ 6000 USD
Link: Will launch in 2014



        7. Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, a high end ultra book. 1.6 GHz i5 4200 U processor. Technically, the Yoga 2 Pro starts at $1,049, but if you purchase it at Best Buy, you'll only have to pay $1,000 -- and you'll get the same specs you would have if you bought the $1,199 configuration listed on Lenovo's site. Either way, for a fairly low price, you're getting basically the same specs (1.6GHz Core i5 Haswell processor, 4GB of RAM, 128GB SSD) that you'd find on a $1,400 Ultrabook.



        8. Nvidia Shield

The Shield runs on Android, featuring a flip-up 5-inch (130 mm) touchscreen display with 1280x720 pixel resolution. The device is similar in form to a Xbox 360 controller, with two analog joysticks, a D-pad, and other buttons. It is the first device to be powered by Nvidia's Tegra 4 processor. Equipped with 2 GB ram and 1.9 GHz quad core processor.



        9. Rico Theta

The 360 degree camera has hit the shelves. RICOH THETA is the world's first mass-produced imaging device that encapsulates fully spherical scenes with one shot. The RICOH THETA features a proprietary ultra-small twin-lens folded optical system that captures the scene around, above and below the device in one shot for unprecedented, fully spherical images. Fitting easily in a pocket or the palm of a hand, the slim, lightweight (95-gram) RICOH THETA is a go-anywhere device suited to confined spaces, the great outdoors and everywhere in between. The device is synchronized with smartphones, where images can be immediately transmitted via Wi-Fi


      10. Flexible Tablet

The PaperTab tablet looks and feels just like a sheet of paper. However, it is fully interactive with a flexible, high-resolution 10.7” plastic display developed by Plastic Logic, a flexible touchscreen, and powered by the second generation Intel® CoreTM i5 Processor. Instead of using several apps or windows on a single display, users have ten or more interactive displays or “PaperTabs”: one per app in use.

Top 10 Android action games

My favorite genre of games on google play is undoubtedly Action games. Andriod IOS may not be the best gamming platform for action games, because of controls. But it does have its share in the action games market. Here is a review of TEN games i consider the best action game for your android smartphone or tablet.


Top Ten Android Action Games



          1. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

                  Welcome back to Vice City. Welcome back to the 1980s. 

From the decade of big hair, excess and pastel suits comes a story of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile. Vice City, a huge urban sprawl ranging from the beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto, was one of the most varied, complete and alive digital cities ever created. Combining open-world gameplay with a character driven narrative, you arrive in a town brimming with delights and degradation and given the opportunity to take it over as you choose. 



                    







          2. Age Of Zombies


Name any gaming platform and it’s sure to have a zombie game or two. However, most of these are depressing survival fests that go for the horror side of the genre. Well, Age of Zombies is definitely not one of those games. Playing as Barry Steakfries, players step into a time-travelling commando’s shoes and kill zombies all across the space-time continuum in a laugh-out-loud storyline. Shooting zombies has never been so fun – shooting zombie dinosaurs being a hundred times fun than normal.






          3. Zombie World War

Zombie World War is an action game developed by FT Games. A virus has spread and the human race has become infected. Society and governments have lost control, and its up to you to fight for the survival of the human race. Test your skills and battle your way to victory.

          4. Shadowgun

A very beautiful looking game, the third-person shooter shadowgun delivers Gears of War style gameplay and graphics to the Android platform. Matching visuals usually found on consoles, this game is gorgeous. But it isn’t just another pretty face – there’s a pretty solid action game underneath all that flash. Smart enemy AI also gives players a challenge that won’t just roll over and die. This is a definite step-up from the current crop and an original franchise for the Android platform itself. Hopefully, we’ll see more games like this soon.



Price: $4.99 USD

          5. Lone Wolf

Joe Dever's Lone wolf - a game about a lonely wolf, the last of Kai Lords and the only survived from a clan of the elite soldiers, written by Joe Dever.

Features:

Players must try to master dozens of levels riddled with enemies, and collect coins and cards that go toward buying new equipment.

Price: Free!!!!!

          9. Grabatron

Tired of alien invasion stories where the filthy humans are the good guys? This game is the answer: Players control a UFO with a giant human-grabbing claw that abducts humans and cows and throws cars. Complete missions and upgrades to further the demise of humanity at the hands of alien invaders.
