Android Ice cream sandwich

Your Android Tablet has just gone through a major revolution of sorts thanks to the new Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, which has many sensational upgrades. Android 4.0 or Ice Cream Sandwich is the new update from Google to Android mobile operating system and tablets. It has many new features, which make it more of a complete revamp than upgrade. It’s also the reason why you will have to get a hang of how this operating system works and its different features that you can make the most out of.

Some of the brilliant features that make Ice Cream Sandwich so special include capacitive buttons that you will find at the bottom of the screen. However physical buttons for home, search, back and menu are missing. But then you have the option of switching things up so that the screen can span over the entire device. Moreover, apps like calendar is now zoomable, and voicemail can be found in call log. Being able to slow down or speed up voice messages is another cool feature along with ability to take screenshots by pressing power and volume buttons.

It will be quite a simple, yet daunting task to compare an Android tablet with a Windows 8 enabled tablet. Both the operating systems have a similar task, but they look to reach different goals. Google has further strengthened its position in the market by improving on its already existing Android platform. The Android platform has already met with amazing success in the market. However, Windows 8 is an attempt by Microsoft to establish itself in the front of the market.

Here are some parameters of comparison between the Android tablet and the Windows 8. We hope this helps you.

Hardware

The Google Android is supportive for tablets, smart phones and other hand held electronic gadgets. Windows 8 can be used on hand held objects and personal computers. If you’re looking for compatibility with all your hardware, the Windows 8 platform would be the way to go. But if you’re looking at only tablets, the Android will be a winner because of its effortless compatibility with tablets.

What exactly is Rooting on Androids?

android rooting

Rooting is becoming more and more popular as well as more and more difficult.  Rooting for Androids is similar to the term “jailbreaking” for Apple devices meaning that it can allow users of Androids to obtain permission and access that is not normally granted to every day users, but  rooting on Androids has its fair share of benefits and risk.

Also similar to the function of jailbreaking, rooting can also cause several problems for those who choose to try to break the accessibility of their device.  Rooting on Androids cannot always be performed by everyone, and if you do not know what you are doing you can brick your device.  Bricking your device basically means that the software on the tablet, phone, or other device’s functionally with the Android OS has become so damaged that is no longer usable, and your device will no longer work in any way.
