US company E Fun has launched its new eight-inch tablet the nextbook Trendy 8 a low cost device thats good enough to watch video, listen to music, surf the Internet or read an e-book.
The tablet runs on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system and is powered by a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 1.5GHz processor. They should have used the latest Jelly Bean as Android 4.2 is faster and simpler.
The Trendy has 1GB RAM and 8GB internal memory, with the option of increasing it to 32GB using the extendable micro-SD Card slot. The display has a resolution of 1024 x768 pixels and a screen ratio of 4:3.
The Trendy is made of a thick plastic. Held in landscape, all the buttons mini-USB port, HDMI port, micro-SD slot, headphone jack and charger are on the left of the tablet. It has a built-in 0.3MP front camera and 2MP rear camera.
Pictures taken with the rear camera are grainy and colours faded due to its low resolution and night shots are ruled out due to the lack of LED flash. Only the white balance and exposure settings can be adjusted, but panorama shots can be taken and saved in less than three seconds. E Fun must be trying to cut costs and, in any event, many people prefer to take pictures and videos with a smartphone.
Another disadvantage is that while holding the tablet in landscape mode to take pictures, it is easy to block the lens with your fingers. There is no dedicated button for taking pictures and videos and this needs to be done from the screen.
The tablet supports full HD playback but the single speaker does not have much volume and can be blocked when the tablet is held in landscape mode. You have to use the headphones if you want to enjoy audio. But, the Trendy comfortably handled playing 2D and 3D games like Drag Racing 3D.
The Trendy can connect to other devices and the Internet with Bluetooth and WiFi. Loading pages and pinch and zoom was fast, but placing too many widgets on the home screen will cause a delay when rotating the tablet. The company has preloaded 25 books on the e-book reader and given 5GB of free cloud storage on SugarSync and OfficeSuite, apart from a bundle of software.
The battery has an average life when compared to other tablets. It lasted around eight hours when used to listen to music,A chip card is a plastic card that has a computer chip implanted into it that enables the card to perform certain. watch videos, surf the Internet and email with WiFi. It is priced at Dh649.
As the blue Ford Escort sits in his garage, un-driven, gathering rust and dust, Perz has taken to the internet to tell his story. A video detailing his legal fight has raked in more than 280,000 views on YouTube, and Perz has attracted the attention of consumer advocates across the nation.
Richard J. Ritchie, who represents Mossy, said none of Perzs claims about the car, or the way he has been treated by the dealership, are true.
He said the car was mechanically sound when Perz bought it, and said any claim that it was submerged in water is completely false. Mossy Toyota even tracked down the previous owner of the car, who stated in a deposition that it was in good shape when the dealership took ownership of it and had never sustained water damage, Ritchie said.
Mossy would love to have the case heard as soon as possible, he said, but Perz has spent the last six years coming up with excuses to keep the matter out of a hearing.
Ritchie said Perz has turned his fight into a crusade against the arbitration industry as a whole. Perzs argument would quickly evaporate if he were to ever have his case examined on its merits, he said.
Its almost impossible to live in modern America without regularly signing away ones constitutional right to a jury trial or even access to small claims court.
Those multi-page contracts you sign or click through online without reading invariably contain mandatory arbitration clauses that bar you from taking disputes to court.
The clauses are ever-present in contracts for medical procedures, car rentals and countless other services. Manufacturers have even begun placing mandatory arbitration clauses inside the plastic wrap on their products. The moment you unwrap the plastic on some new electronic products, youve lost your chance to take the company to court.
When you pay your utility bills,A smart card resembles a credit card in size and shape. you consent to arbitration. When you pay your credit card bills, you consent to arbitration, when you buy a house, you consent to arbitration, said Hal Rosner, a local plaintiffs attorney. Theres nothing youre doing anymore that isnt consent.
Arbitration is supposed to provide a cheaper and quicker way to settle legal disputes than the court system. But academics, attorneys, plaintiffs and even an independent arbitrator contacted for this story described arbitration as an uneven playing field, with consumers facing an uphill battle from the start.
