I was really confused by this. As it turns out, after a quick check from Google, I had an SD card at speed level 4, which was too slow to handle the T2I. The minimum for the T2I is class 6, which are extremely hard to find in stores, so I settled for the lightning fast class 10 SD card, and boy were the results astounding. My video playback was smooth with no auto stops and hitches to be found anywhere. I highly recommend getting a class 10 SD card if you own a DSLR, because the performance improvements to your camera will be astounding.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02819879396084624506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227765688796401503.post-31385262466759709882011-04-14T17:34:00.000-07:002011-04-14T17:34:28.172-07:00HTC Sensation NOT As Powerful as EVO 3D<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/04/11x0414123049.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/04/11x0414123049.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>HTC recently announced their newest superphone to come to the market, the HTC Sensation. Many people believe this is their new flagship smartphone. The truth is, while it is one heck of a phone, it has nothing on the HTC EVO 3D. Compare the 1GB RAM (EVO) to the 768 MB (Sensation). Compare the 4GB ROM (EVO) to the 1GB (Sensation). When all is said and done, the EVO 3D is the best smartphone currently available by HTC. Although, specs aside, the real feature that makes these phones sparkle is the new HTC Sense 3.0, which is absolutely breathtaking (see video here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjCI9CFp6ew">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjCI9CFp6ew</a>) to look at, and is fully functional too. I love everything about it. I'll see you guys soon and have a happy Thursday!<br />

Below you will find an image of the leaked Call of Duty: Black Ops Escalation map pack. This will be fulfilling the promises of Treyarch who promised to make a new map pack besides First Strike. The one thing that stands out to me is the new zombie map. Looking forward to trying it out. See you guys later.<br />

This is disproving the previous thought that the new IPhone would not be launching at WWDC this year in turn launching at a later date, and since WWDC is the same week as June 9th, I'm pretty confident that this is legit news. I snagged some specs from the image that Droid-Life got (which will be below): A dual-core 1Ghz processor (presumably the Apple A5 chip), 4 inch retina display, a 5MP HD recording camera, and after that it gets too blurry for me to understand. If you get the last two bullet-points, be sure to post them in the comments. See you guys soon. </p>

Large improvements to the Blogger dashboard and a cool HTML5 feed display are what are being showcased in the videos below. First is the "Have You Looked at Blogger Lately?" video which is explaining a few statistics about Blogger and what to look forward to in 2011, accompanied by some awesome music, in my opinion. The future dashboard looks jaw-dropping and certainly gives Wordpress a run for its money. Also, the new mobile sites template designer looks great.<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hPhFc6GqVdU" title="YouTube video player" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
Next is the new HTML5 feed viewer for Blogger. This really is a great way to view some of your favorite blogs, but it really needs some work on the coding as I tried it in both Google Chrome and the HTML5 king, Internet Explorer 9. In both browsers every view lagged for me and on Chrome there were these odd red boxes around every image. Hopefully Google can clean up the code and make this run the way it was supposed to be run. <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fuDuNV4h_ZI" title="YouTube video player" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
In the end, Blogger has established itself as a great Blogging tool, and continues to get better with interface updates and added features. Other blogging tools such as Typepad and Tumblr are struggling to catch up with Blogger and Wordpress is now starting to look a little less impressive. Blogger is definitely my favorite Blogging tool and I believe it should be yours also.

I will be doing a review based on three categories: Speed, Smoothness, and render accuracy. The scale will be 1/10.<br>
Speed: Mobile: 9 Mini: 10 <br>
Opera is using the rendering engine called Presto, and man, is it fast. My Motorola Droid running Opera Mobile ran circles around my IPad in the tests I took. And Opera Mini is the best way to get the web with a low quality 3G or Edge connection. Opera mini uses Opera's server to compress webpages up to 90%, giving you unbelievable speeds. <br>
Smoothness: Mobile: 10 Mini: 8<br>
Opera Mobile really should give some tips to Google with processor optimization, because even with a heavy website on my elderly Motorola Droid, scrolling, zooming, and panning would make a Google Nexus S jealous. Nothing can compare to Opera Mobile when running a previous-generation device. Opera Mini sacrifices some smoothness with that webpage compression and half-rendered images, but it is still at least 2x as smooth as the stock Android browser.<br>
Rendering Accuracy: Mobile: 7 Mini: 7<br>
Both Opera Mobile and Mini use the same rendering engine so it us inevitable that their scores would be the same. Presto is very good at rendering webpages not designed specifically for phones, but has a little trouble properly displaying mobile web apps, such as Google's buzz web app. There is one thing to note though: Opera has just added adobe flash 10.2 support in Opera Mobile, which is a big plus. <br>
Final Review: Mobile: 9.5 Mini 9<br>
Opera Mobile is by far the best browser available on the Android platform, ahead of Dolphin, Xscope and even the stock browser. If it weren't for a few rendering issues this browser would definitely be a 10. Opera Mini is a solid 9 because it is the vest browser choice when you are on the go. It's lightning fast speeds and smooth scrolling put it out ahead of the pack. The only downside is the webpage compression reduces image quality, but that is to be expected.

Nothing has been hinted at, but we are expecting that it will be hinted at in Blackberry's expo "Blackberry World", this May. Tell me in the comments what you think will be featured in RIM's latest update! By the <u>wa</u>y, have you seen the HTC Sense that is on the Evo 3D? That is the best Android UI that I have ever seen. Be sure to check out the videos on Android Central for video of that. Be sure to bookmark and share, and I will see you guys soon! </p>

The phone has yet another version of Sense, which is looking better than ever, and it has a dual-core processor. This is the first phone by HTC to feature a dual-core processor, which happens to be a Qualcomm Snapdragon one with each core at 1.2 Ghz. Of course, the phone is 3D featuring two five-megapixel cameras that can shoot 720p 3D video and 1080p 2D video. The phone also has the ability to view YouTube videos in 3D if enabled. The EVO 3D will be launching in June on Sprint's WiMax 4G network. The phone is slimmer in width than the EVO 4G but has similar thickness and height, so this device will be a little more pocketable, but still large as it features a 4.3 inch display. Sprint also announced the EVO View 4G, the rebranded version of the HTC Flyer. What is shocking is the Flyer has a single-core 1.5 Ghz processor, which is slower than the phone it will be launching with. I believe that the device will be launching with Android 3.0 Honeycomb, but I am not positive as the Flyer was originally supposed to with the updated version of Android Gingerbread (2.4).

AT&T will now have much better service, but the carrier doesn't seem to want to put work into their network. AT&T also purchased Cingular in 2007, but their network remained sub-par. If AT&T needs better service, they seem to just buy their way to victory, rather than improving their network themselves. The good news is though, all Google Nexus phones will now be on AT&T rather than T-Mobile so less people will have to switch carriers to get their new phone. Tell me in the comments what you think about this purchase by AT&T! Be sure to share and bookmark using the buttons below! </p>

Many <br />
people are starting to migrate to newer ways of accessing information. <br />
They want to know what is happening now, faster and smarter. People are <br />
moving towards TV's, cell phone applications, interactive websites, and <br />
social media to find out the news on topics they want. In news, one size<br />
does not fit all. People want to hear the news that they feel is <br />
important, whether it be finance, crimes, world news, or technology <br />
industries. Matthew doesn't like to use the newspaper because <br />
he feels that it is too much of a struggle to find the topics he wants <br />
to hear about. He goes straight to the TV, clicks on the remote, and <br />
sits back and relaxes. Sports? ESPN. World News? NBC. Finance? CNBC. <br />
Local? Eyewitness news. TV is just easier, and Matt gets the information<br />
that he wants, faster. <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Like <br />
many other kids, Matthew doesn't feel like the news is a big part of his<br />
life, but all of the social media, constant internet connection whether<br />
at home or mobile, and the wide use of television these days. He feels <br />
that soon the world will be completely electronic, and let's face it: we<br />
are almost there. Think of your everyday life. Wake up, and the first <br />
thing you see is electronic, your cell phone, alarm clock or whatever <br />
you use. Next thing clicked on, the TV for some daily updates. Then you <br />
check the internet, smarphone or tablet for the weather. Next you drive <br />
to work, voice dialing clients and fellow staff for your job. The UI's <br />
of the car have been getting as advanced as our PC's these days. Then at<br />
work, you sit at your computer, watching the e-mails flood into your <br />
virtual inbox. You go home. Walking in the door, you hear the sound of <br />
an eerie screech, and find your son playing Call of Duty: Black Ops in <br />
the basment, killing someone they don't even know in a video game. The <br />
bottom line is our life is now conpletely connected. Nothing is stopping<br />

To start off, Droid-Life is reporting that the HTC Thunderbolt has been speculated to have a $299.99 price tag. They are hoping that this is without the instant discount, but this seems to be way too overpriced considering that the Atrix was leaked at 149.99, featuring a dual-core processor to boot. This whole HTC Thunderbolt fiasco is starting to look like a big mess to me, now with rumours that Skype with video will not be launching with this guy, and will be coming with a software update after the launch. The Samsung Galaxy S 4G is going to be launching on T-Mobile soon with a $199.99 price tag, $50 bucks more than previously thought. The device is basically a bigger Samsung Vibrant with HSPA+ connectivity. The device will launch with Android 2.2 Froyo which is important because Samsung is only rolling out the OTA updates for their Galaxy S devices now. In other news, the Motorola Xoom Android tablet launch page is now live on Bestbuy's site. The page says that the Xoom will be priced at $799.99 and not the $1200 we saw the other day; must have just been a placeholder.

Their app store currently holds 82% of the market share in revenue, far ahead of any other company. Why the worry you ask? 82% is 10% less then what it was in 2009. If this rate increases, Apple is headed for trouble. In other news, the ENQUIRER is reporting that Steve Jobs supposedly has only 6 weeks to live. They photographed who they believe to be as Jobs, looking much thinner than his already frail frame. He was apparently walking in to the Stanford Cancer Center, suffering from cancer in his buttocks. Yeah, the ENQUIRER isn't the most reliable source, and we will be sure to keep an eye on this. Jobs has had previous battles with cancer, beating a slow form of pancreatic cancer in 2004, and having a live transplant in 2009. This photo is courtesy of Omnitechnews.net, where they happened to get a hold of an image of the future issue of the ENQUIRER. See you guys later!<br />

</tbody></table>HP has announced a slew of new WebOS devices, including the Pre 3, the Touchpad and the Veer. I'm not going to go that in depth with them but will tell you that the Pre 3 runs WebOS 3.0, has a high-resolution 3.6 inch touchscreen, a 5-megapixel camera that shoots 720p HD, and this is the real kicker, a 1.4 Ghz processor. This device seems to be a real step up from any previous announced WebOS phones. The Touchpad slate has a 9.7-inch touchscreen at a resolution of 1024*768, and has a front facing camera, and a 1.2 Ghz dual-core Snapdragon processor, the kind Qualcomm has been hard at work developing. The Touchpad, will be a good challenge to the Playbook, Xoom, and IPad 2. Hopefully HP can get the marketing right so they can sell more products than in previous attempts.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02819879396084624506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227765688796401503.post-26582350161057994722011-02-07T19:06:00.000-08:002011-02-07T19:06:41.780-08:00Dual-Screen Phone, OMAP 5 and More!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/zk7nf6TNHH4?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey guys! Got a new post today wrapping up Sprints "Industry First" mobile event that took place just a few hours ago. The announced the Kyocera Echo, a dual-touchscreen smartphone that features 2 high-resolution 3.5 inch touchscreens. The phone slides out on a unique liquid-metal hinge design to show both screens at the same time. The people over at Sprint and Kyocera say this device can "simultask" as they call it, capable of running 2 different applications, one on each screen. Under the hood, the device runs Android 2.2 Froyo powered by a 1GHZ second-gen Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, has a 5-megapixel camera capable of shooting 720p, and is going to be priced at $199 on a two-year contract. The device is <i>not </i>capable of connecting to WIMAX 4G, which seems sad since Sprint was calling it an "industry first" and I assumed this of all phones would come with all the bells and whistles a good phone should have. The device itself looks extremely thick and will definitely bulge out of the pocket, and the dual screen UI seems extremely un-polished and inconvenient, but this is a good concept and one that we could build on and make work. Only if Microsoft hadn't killed their <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/microsofts-courier-digital-journal-exclusive-pictures-and-de/">Courier</a> idea. In other news, Texas Instruments has announced their OMAP 5 series, and if this chip ran a phone, it would officially replace your computer. Built off the ARM A15 platform, this chip has 4 cores running at speeds up to 2GHZ each core, a multicore <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">PowerVR S</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">GX544 GPU, which is supposed to have up to 5x the performance of the incredible GPUs in the Samsung Galaxy series phones, which is unbelievable. This also supports Kinect-like gestures, multiple operating systems, up to 8GB of RAM, 24 megapixel images and 1080p HD 3D video capture a 60 fps. Whoa. These chips will be sent out to vendors at the end of this year, with devices featuring it estimated to be available during the second-half of 2012. On a much less amazing note, be sure to make a stop at your local T-Mobile store this weekend as all phones are free for Valentine's day.

Just a quick update on the lack of blog posts I've had here. I've been on 3 basketball teams for the past 2 months ant the last 2 weeks has really been busy for me. All of these teams are ending next month, so expect the normal every other day or every day posts that we all used to get. Be sure to follow me on Twitter for more updates: <a href="http://twitter.com/TechBloggerJohn">http://twitter.com/TechBloggerJohn</a>, and I'll see you all soon.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02819879396084624506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227765688796401503.post-73104996692531083202011-01-20T16:19:00.000-08:002011-01-20T16:19:02.467-08:00HP/Palm WebOS Tablet Leaked!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/01/01-18-11palmtabscm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/01/01-18-11palmtabscm.jpg" width="319" /></a></div><i>Engadget</i> reports that a "trusted tipster" of theirs sent them images of the soon-to-be-announced Palm/HP WebOS tablet. He said that the device will have a 9 inch screen, but a 7-inch variant will also be offered. The device has no buttons and is expected to be gesture-based like all of Palm's WebOS based phones are. If you have ever tried them you will know how awesome they are to use. I feel that this thing would be the #1 IPad competitor, not in sales, but in form factor and OS. WebOS is very polished, arguably as much as IOS, and the form factor of the slate seems to be very similar to the IPad. We'll see if this thing is going to be announced on February 9th, just stay tuned for coverage.

If you look at the video below, it scored somewhere around 2800, which downright destroys any other device out there, but wait it gets better. Since the Atrix will be released with Froyo, only one of those 2-1GHZ cores will be used, so double the score for say and you have the score the Atrix will get when it is running a version of Android that has support for multiple cores in a smartphone. Wow. Be sure to tell me what you think in the comments. In other news, run to your nearest T-Mobile store because they have now dropped the price of the G2 down another $50 dollars to FREE so you don't have to pay to get your new Android phone. Of course you will have to sign on to a new 2-year contract and all that other junk that they make you do when purchasing a new phone. The deal ends this Thursday so hurry to get your new G2.

<blockquote>Team,<br />
At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health. I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company.<br />
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Appleās day to day operations. I have great confidence that Tim and the rest of the executive management team will do a terrific job executing the exciting plans we have in place for 2011.<br />
I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, my family and I would deeply appreciate respect for our privacy.<br />
Steve</blockquote>We are not sure what is wrong with Apple's CEO now, but I am sure he will get through it. Jobs has survived one of the most fatal forms of cancers, pancreatic cancer which he announced in 2004, and recently had a liver transplant in 2009. This guy surely is a fighter, and we wish him the best. Hopefully we hear more info tomorrow when Apple announces there Q4 earnings.

Sorry I haven't had a post in a while. As we already know, the IPhone is coming to Verizon on February 10th. No other perks, just an IPhone 4 on Verizon, with mobile hotspot connectivity. Now onto the big news of the day. <i>Engadget</i> reports that Qualcommhad showed them a device running a dual core Snapdragon processor and an Adreno 220 graphics chip at CES, but this device was just to show what the CPU was capable of. And it was capable of a lot. It had stunning graphics, and output 3D video right to a TV. Wow. Hopefully this is a sign of something to come on HTC's phones, too bad it wasn't ready in time for the Thunderbolt. If HTC unveiled a phone with this processor at MWC, I wouldn't be shocked. Sense UI + HTC build quality = peace and awesomeness. I embedded a Youtube clip below showing Qualcomm talking about the CPU and what it could mean for mobile phones. Be sure to check it out, and please share! I have been under a really tight schedule lately so please bare with be for the blog posts. See you soon! </span><br />

Now is Verizon IPhone time. Verizon is hosting a mysterious event next Tuesday, and since Apple had no presence at CES, I believe Big Red is going to announce the Verizon IPhone at this event. The event is speculated to have Steve Jobs as a special guest, but this isn't yet 100% confirmed. The IPhone has no leaks, and no confirmed specs yet, but will hopefully launch on Verizon's 4G LTE network, considering that 10 devices were announced this week with LTE connectivity (see previous blog post for more info). This image comes from OmniTechNews, where more info and an interview was provided about the event. Be sure to check it out over here: <a href="http://j.mp/eM4gxB">http://j.mp/eM4gxB</a>/. There wasn't much other news about the event, so we'll wait it out until Tuesday, when the mystery is solved. We will have all of the details over here at TechBlogwithJohn, so check us out on Tuesday, or follow my tweets at <a href="https://twitter.com/techbloggerjohn">https://twitter.com/techbloggerjohn</a>.

To start, Motorola released a bevy of devices yesterday, most notably their new "Superphone", the Atrix 4G. This boy packs a Dual-Core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, runs Android 2.2, has a 5MP shooter with 720p capable video recording capabilities, a 960 by 540 resolution 4 inch display (called qHD) and 1GB of RAM to top it of. The most-hyped about feature of this device is the fact that it comes with a dead netbook that you dock the Atrix to, and suddenly your phone is your computer. Wow. There are 2 downsides of this behemoth phone: 1. The shooter is only 5MP and 2. It is on AT&T. Quite a Motofail in my opinion. Verizon has stuck with Motorola for 2 years releasing all of their flagship devices with them, and then Motorola just stabs them in the back. Verizon will have to deal with the Droid Bionic, which sports similar though not as impressing specs: a dual-core OMAP or NVIDIA Tegra 2 (getting different answers from every source, and Motorola doesn't have the full spec sheet on their website) processor, Android 2.2, has an 8MP shooter (win) that shoots 720p, a 4.3 inch qHD display, and a hugely dissapointing 512 MB (what went wrong I don't know) of RAM. This must surely be Verizon's flagship device for the next few months, as none of these devices are expected to come in January. Keep in mind, Froyo doesn't fully support both cores, and Gingerbread does, so get ready for a major speed boost come update time. Also, both devices feature 1930 Mah battery, so battery life shouldn't be an issue. I really don't know why they didn't give the Atrix an 8MP shooter, it really would have killed the spec sheet. Last from Moto is the Xoom, that runs Android 3.0. The OS wasn't finished yet so we couldn't actually explore it, but from the videos it looks jaw-dropping. The Tablet has similar specs to the Atrix, but the cameras are a little bit more low-res. LG shot out an Android device featuring a dual-core processor, called the Optimus 2X. This phone just rocks. It has the Atrix specs, but with a smaller battery and an 8MP camera. Now the best goodie is that this Records 1080p. On a phone. 1080p on a phone. Just WOW. Now to the one HUGE dissapointment. This comes from HTC. The Thunderbolt. The specs seem pretty good: 4G LTE, 8MP camera, Android 2.2 with the wonderful new Sense.......<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">and a 1GHZ Snapdragon processor, no dual core. </span>Why? It is single core! No speed, just the average. I was really waiting for HTC to wow me, and they failed, miserably. HTC announced a bunch of other devices on other carriers too, no dual core awesomeness. One thing to note, the Verizon IPhone was not announced at Verizon's keynote today. Is it ever coming? I don't know.

If you aren't familiar, the most popular UIs added to Smartphones running Android are HTC's Sense UI, Motorola's MotoBlur, or Sony Ericsson's Timescape UI. On one-hand, UIs usually make Android better in a way, like polish, widgets, or animations that make the UI look more modern and user-friendly than stock Android. On the other hand, custom UI's tend to lower benchmark scores, make updates take much longer than expected, and slow down the phone. One example is the Droid Incredible to the Nexus One, the Incredible runs Sense UI and the Nexus One runs stock. All of the well-known benchmarks (Neocore, Quadrant Standrard, Linpack) are higher on the Nexus One than on the Droid Incredible. It all really is personal preference: do you want a phone that runs stock Android with less features but immediate updates (Droid, Nexus One, G2), or do you want a phone with more features, better experience, a bevy of widgets, but a slower phone (Droid Incredible, Droid X & 2, Xperia X10)? Now onto the big debate, which UI is the best? In my opinion, Sense UI is the most beautiful UI I have ever seen on Android. It includes around 50 jaw dropping widgets, Scenes, and better-designed menus and adds a huge amount of polish to Android OS. Motoblur is probably the roughest around the edges of the three, but has a bunch of Motorola widgets that you can resize depending on what you want. Motorola also added a bunch of Verizon bloatware on the Droid series phones running this UI. Last but not least, Sony Ericsson's Timescape UI adds a bunch of animations and changed menus, as it is hard to actually tell this is running Android. It is true that custom UIs do slow down Android updates as the X10 and all of its relatives are stuck on Android 1.6, and Samsung's Galaxy S series is still on Android 2.1 (UI called Touchwiz 3.0). So, do you like customs UIs or think they slow down Android too much? Be sure to tell me in the comments! Also, follow and LIKE me by using the buttons on the right.

Recently Droid-Life leaked a dozen images of the HTC Thunderbolt (previously referred to as the Mecha and/or the Incredible HD), and what we can confirm is this is the first phone to launch on Verizon with LTE 4G support, it will have a kickstand, it will have a 4.3 inch screen, and it will be the first device on Verizon with a front-facing camera. This phone is practically a carbon copy of the Desire HD but with Verizon branding on it. The phone is not expected to have a dual-core processor (but HTC can easily correct us at CES next week) and will be behind the curve as many devices are expected to launch with dual core chips, such as LG and maybe Motorola. In other news, the HTC Desire HD has been cleared for the FCC for North American 3G, and it is probably coming to Telus in Canada. We all know that it would be a beast on one of the US carriers, but this only supports bands provided by AT&T, which would kind of ruin this phone's awesomeness. If you haven't heard, this beast is sporting a 1GHZ second-gen Snapdragon processor, a 4.3 inch screen, an 8MP camera capable of shooting 720p, and runs Android 2.2 with HTC Sense UI on top. This guy shoots around a 1900 on Quadrant with Sense UI on top. Now for the most surprising news of the day: the Android market has reportedly passed 200,000 apps. This news has been reported by AndroLib, which has been known to be wrong, but this does show how quickly that the Android market is growing. The thing is, if there were a million "hello purr" apps in the market, nothing would be helpful. If there were 5,000 good, high-quality apps in the market that all served different purposes, that would be what we needed.

Today I will be giving you a first impressions of the Canon EOS Rebel T2I 550D. This camera features an 18 megapixel sensor capable of shooting 1080p HD videos at speeds of up to 30 frames-per-second. First off, let me tell you, this is the best camera I have ever seen. All the buttons are arranged in a way that makes a confusing amount of features seem simple. The photos are crystal clear, and this camera can compete with and beat the highest end dedicated video cameras out there today. The focus is lightning fast, and produces great pictures when focused, just sometimes the photos don't focus right and come out a little blurry. The camera has a nice high-quality feel that you would expect from a flagship device, and it feels great in the hand.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">First, this is a picture displaying the great focus abilities and clarity that the T2I has. It is just a simple picture of a subject being the star of the photo as the background is blurred.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So, how do you like the pictures? I love this camera, and with all the features you get, the price isn't really that bas for a DSLR, only about $900. If I was to give this camera a rating, it would be a 9.7/10 stars, the .3 stars being that there are so many features, sometimes they are hard to find! I have a bunch of reviews coming for you guys, so be sure to stay tuned to the site. Also, I hope you guys had a happy holidays, and I am looking forward to posting in the new year! See you later!</span></div></td></tr>
