Size Does Matter: Android Mini-Tablet Projects Display Up To 100" In Size | TechCrunch

Size Does Matter: Android Mini-Tablet Projects Display Up To 100" In Size | TechCrunch | Technology and Gadgets | Scoop.it
There are pros and cons to everything in this life, technology included. The more power you have packed into a device, the clunkier it usually is. If it’s cheap, it’s probably buggy. With mini-tablets, portability costs you screen size, which means a group experience is out of the question. Having 10 people huddled around a five-inch tablet to watch a YouTube video is hardly ideal. NionCom, in an effort to circumvent that issue, has a mini-tablet in the works that can project the tablet’s display up on to a wall, enlarged to 100-inches.

Android 3.2 To Add New 'Zoom' Mode For Viewing Non-Honeycomb Apps

Android 3.2 To Add New 'Zoom' Mode For Viewing Non-Honeycomb Apps | Technology and Gadgets | Scoop.it
n a world void of many Honeycomb-specific apps, we often turn to small screen variants in order to fulfill our on-the-go needs. While many of the apps designed for phones work and scale appropriately on the large screen, it often to leads to odd placement of objects, tiny buttons to tap, and other inconveniences that end up being less-than-ideal. Fortunately, Google incorporated a solution to this problem in Android 3.2 (Honeycomb): "zoom mode."
