there is no benefit, unless you are a virgin basement boy and enjoy spending your week-end reading obscure techie forums with tech enthusiasts wanking on each other about the last release of some "underground" and "super secret" hack tool.

Ask harryb, he knows all about it

Think I'll down a few Singhas,
stick some porn on her tab,
place it on her back,
load my Custom Rom, and give her a good overclocking, while tweaking her basebands

Huawei goes all in on the MediaPad 10 FHD with Android 4.0 and quad-core processor
by Natesh Sood on February 27, 2012 at 9:19 pm

Huawei continues to announce new and exciting products at Mobile World Congress 2012, and today, we learned about its latest high-end tablet. The MediaPad 10 FHD contains industry leading hardware coupled with the latest version of Android to provide for a top-notch user experience.

Without further ado, let’s dig into the specs and features and decide whether the MediaPad 10 FHD is a worthy tablet. To begin, it sports a 10.1 inch HD IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200, 2GB of RAM, Huawei’s proprietary 1.5 GHz K3 quad-core processor, integrated GPU for 3D graphics processing, HSPA+ / LTE connectivity, 8MP rear facing camera, and a 1.3MP front facing camera. As mentioned in the title, it will run Android Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, but there is no word on whether Huawei customized the OS or if it stock Android.

After reading through the specs of the MediaPad 10 FHD, its blazing fast processor, RAM, and HD screen clearly jump out. Combining Android ICS with a quad-core 1.5GHz processor and potential for LTE connectivity is a winning combination. The tablet is expected to launch in Q2 of 2012, but exact availability and pricing has yet to be released. Assuming Huawei can launch it at a fair price without any hiccups, the device can be very successful.

Is uTorrent Coming to Android?

There are plenty of things iOS can do that Android can't—Siri and Facetime, for example. However, Android may soon be getting its own exclusive feature: P2P file sharing courtesy of uTorrent, the most-used torrent client in the Western World.
BitTorrent, the parent company of uTorrent, is reportedly developing a mobile P2P file sharing client for the Android platform. Such an app would allow uTorrent's 140 million users to trade files over any wireless connection without the need for a desktop or laptop intermediary. "Like any software company, we know a mobile experience is really important to our users," a BitTorrent spokesperson told TorrentFreak.
The Andorid platform was reportedly chosen of iOS due to its open environment. BitTorrent would likely face strict censorship of the app from iTunes and the Android Marketplace but could still be loaded from sources other than the official Android fire hose without needing to jailbreak the device.
BitTorrent hasn't set a release date yet, but once this app does go live, you can bet its effect on streaming music services and mobile networks alike will be large and immediate. [TorrentFreak via Redmond Pie]

Oh here we go, something else on which all of a sudden Buttplug 'as become a "expert".

^ you wouldn't know, you are a phone gadget and an XBOX person

Still digging eh?

^ not as much as you are

Let's see some benchmarks then, retard.

^ you live in a basement, spend too much with the XBOX, try every fucking rootkit for Android, have no clue how to "optimize" a NTFS partition (see your re-install option to deal with not enough space) etc... etc...

how is that for a start ?

Yes, so all that bollocks really means is: You can't.

Twat.

Interesting use of technology.

‘eCall’ app for Android platform launched for worldwide use

Alfom, a German IT company, has announced the TripGuard app (www.tripguard.de) for Android (which will shortly also be available for the iPhone) that provides an eCall service in case of emergency. The inventor of the system was driven to develop the software following the tragic death of his mother in the autumn of 2010. Late one night, her car left the road, overturned and was not visible to passing motorists. Seriously injured but still conscious, it was nearly two hours before she was discovered and released, but she did not survive the incident.
After several months of development and over 10,000 kilometres of motorway testing, TripGuard has been specially developed not only to prevent a similar tragedy, but also provide other features. It runs on a standard Android smart phone and continuously monitors the vehicle's status. In the event of an accident, TripGuard sounds an alarm which the driver can turn off if he/she is conscious and not in need of help.
However, if the alarm isn’t cancelled, the system automatically sends an SMS message to the TripGuard centre, on receipt of which an operator phones the number for verification of a problem. If the user does not respond immediately, the emergency services are called. Meanwhile, the app, using a synthetic voice module which is available in several languages, also calls emergency services, relays GPS information and also switches to hands-free mode for two-way communication between the vehicle and the emergency services.
An emergency call button is also available for manual emergency calling, and additional services, such as advising the driver to take a break at recommended intervals, based on total travel and time of day or night, location-based alerts of potential hazards, such as accidents or fog, and a ‘black box’ feature that records the telematics data for the last 30 seconds before an accident

Imagine the black box feature in Thailand.

03:29:03 Driver swerved erratically all over the road at 104kph.
03:29:06 Driver went through Red Traffic Light at 113kph with lights switched off
03:29:08 Vehicle speed 0

If you mean the quadrant standard, it pretty much means jack shit now. ZIt was a decent benchmark to gauge the effect of the lag fix going back to version 2.1. What other benchmark apps can you use that give a realistic gauge?

Can you actually help us out and give us some info on this> Even a cryptic clue?

btw did u ever figure out how to take a screenshot Butters?

I was only being flippant. You don't really think Butters knows what a benchmark is, let alone how to run one, do you?

All he could ever do in answer to a question like that is Google like fuck and hope for the best.

^ So what do you use to run your benchmarks HB?
