When we consider upgrading tablets, we generally like to look forward and future-proof ourselves as much as possible to ensure that we don’t have to buy another tablet in the near future. If you don’t, you usually end up with a out-of-date tablet in only a month or two. One of the features that really enjoyed with the Note 10.1 was the ability to write with excellent precision and the feeling that you are actually writing with pen and paper. Improv Electronics has created a way for you to take notes and precision handwriting, while keeping any device that you might already own.
A Better Way To Take Notes
While I’ve always liked the idea of the Boogie Board, I rarely have found an occasion that I personally would really use one. The ability to take notes and have them permanently stay on screen is neat, but you quickly run out of room and have no backup or digital way to save them – until now. The new Boogie Board SYNC from Improv Electronics fills in that hole by providing a method of both backing up and syncing with nearly any device.
The new Boogie Board saves all data and entries directly to an SD card, meaning that you can take notes on the go then connect them to any of your devices later on (both wired and wirelessly) and sync them all up. The booth had some early prototypes of the unit (as well as the desktop and mobile applications) all showing the syncing across all devices, almost real-time with each stroke. The new SYNC could allow many users to write, draw, and take notes all with a realistic pen and paper feel – without needing a new tablet or stylus optimized screen. Improv stated that the product will likely be available late 2013 to the public.
Sitting back and watching TV is a great way to relax and take your mind off things – but if it’s been a while since you’ve been able to catch up on your shows then it can be quite difficult to track down the episode you last left off on. Indie and first time developer Jossay Jacobo has released his first application to help ease the process. VoodooTVDB is a simple, holo themed application which allows you to favorite, track, and keep your current progress through as many TV shows as you like in a Netflix-like format. 
Voodoo TVDB brings many welcome ideas to enhance watching and keeping track of your favorite shows; from episode-by-episode descriptions, to progress, air date, and more all available from the homescreen on the application. From the home menu you can see upcoming shows, ‘What’s hot’ on TV, and what’s coming up next on your queue. 
SlimPort is not a new technology, but is newly implemented into mobile devices worldwide. Launching first off with Google’s new flagship phone, the Nexus 4, SlimPort aims to replace all device-to-display adaptors by providing a single adaptor to both charge and extend your device. 
When using MHL, as most of you may have found out, the device requires a specific MHL compatible external display to allow you to simply plug and play your device without having any problems. You start to run into issues with you have a standard HDMI input which is not “MHL Optimized.” What this means is the user now has to plug in an external power supply in order for the MHL cable to transmit to the external display. SlimPort is trying to get rid of that requirement by enabling new displayport products and devices to power the device directly from the receiving port on the external display. What if the port doesn’t support it? SlimPort is still able to provide video output even without needing an external power supply. 
We’ve all wasted countless hours on flash games – whether it’s been on a PC during a work break, or when you’re supposed to be studying for an upcoming exam. They’ve all provided loads of fun and I’m always excited to see some make their way to Android with a revamped design and interface. Today we’re going to check our “Hanger” and it’s new Android variant brought to us by A Small Game: 
Do you find yourself deleting large games due to them taking up too much space on your internal storage nowadays? Games by Gameloft and Madfinger are growing to be nearly 2GB in size per game, which can really wreak havoc on the smaller storage we see in most phones. Developer 
Have you been looking to control your phone from your computer or another mobile device? Luckily a small development studio,
Most of us have acquired a new phone within the past year or two and I’m sure that you’ve been unhappy, to say the least, about the quality of the contact photos inside of Android. Android wouldn’t quite be the same if we didn’t have a way to fix nearly every complaint about the system we have: alas, we have the just the fix you need. 
The Nexus 7 has been out for a few months now and has gained plenty of traction; with the quality construction and consistent performance you really can’t ask for a better bang for your buck. Because the device is so widely accepted, many case manufacturing companies have started shipping out products for the tablet. One of the first to come out with a decent lineup is Amzer: and if you take a look at any of the reviews on Amazon, they push out some quality products.
