David Erosa Collage Kindle Edition
A quick background: I own an iPad2, Blackberry Playbook, Surface RT, and Kindle Paperwhite. I bought the Nexus 7 32Gb with cellular 4G mainly because I own a Samsung Note 2 smartphone. The Nexus 7 was $299, without 4G it's $250.
I am not going to compare it to any of the others except the iPad2 and iPad Mini. The Surface RT is not a valid comparison. The Surface RT is a productivity device with a full version of Office and a very cool keyboard/mouse combination. The keyboard snaps in and doubles as a cover. My daughter now uses it for school and loves it.
If you own a regular size iPad, the Nexus 7 takes a few days to adjust to. The 7" form factor at first feels small for a tablet. However, once you start using it you begin to appreciate its portability and fantastic screen resolution. Now for the comparison to the iPad Mini.
Pro's:
1. Android 4.2 OS. It is the crem-de-la-crem (IMHO). I like it better than iOS.
2. Quad core processor. For comparison, the iPad Mini is only a dual core.
3. Screen resolution. The Nexus 7 is HD, the Mini is not the Retina (HD) display found on the regular sized iPad.
4. Apps. Very much in line with Apple. I like some of the Android apps over Apple. For example, the Kindle app on Android is far superior to Apple. Apple does not allow you to purchase publication from the Kindle app... inexcusable.
5. Google play for videos and music. It work really well.
6. 1GB DRAM. The Mini only offers 500Mb. The Nexus 7 is a little speed demon!
7. Batter life. 10 hours. Nice.
8. Standard micro USB charging port. The Mini uses Apples proprietary charging port.
9. Price! The iPad Mini, with far inferior specs, is $200 more than the Nexus 7. If you get 4G, the Mini is $250 more than then Nexus! That is difficult to justify.
Con's:
1. No rear facing camera. I NEVER take pictures or videos with a tablet so this is a worthless feature to me.
2. No memory expansion slot. 32Gb provides plenty of space but a built in microSD slot would be nice. The Mini does not offer one either.
3. No HDMI port. You can buy an add-on to hook into a TV if this is important. The Mini also does not offer a built-in HDMI port.
That's it for now. I will update my review after using it for a month or two.
I love this app. Lets you do a lot of cool stuff with your pictures. My granddaughter is having a lot of fun with it.
BalasHapusIt's great to have a functional collage app on my Kindle Fire! This app is intuitive and fun. I love that I can save a collage, exit and return to editing. This is one of my favorote apps!
BalasHapusI was able to grab a few pictures from my Kindle and make a quick collage in a couple of minutes and this was first try. Liked the results. Try it you will like it.
BalasHapusI tried this out because sending pictures one by one to Florida was time consuming and when it arrived my mother loves it! I will be using this instead of an album from now on
