Re: New Asus TF300T and TF700T tablet specs no Tegra 3

Striderevil — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 01:39:38 -0000

Egads!!! man what are you talking about? the TF700t is coming with a dual cortex-A15 produced in a 28nm HKMG which makes it more power efficient than the Quad core Tegra A9 produced in a 42nm and 40% faster not to mention running at 1.5 instead of Tegras 1.3Mhz. This is a beast but the Adreno 225 would have been better of being upgraded to make it perfect. While Samsung new SGSIII is coming out with a Exynos 5250 in a 32 nm, dual-core Cortex-A15 chip running at 2 ghz. It can process 14 billion Dhrystone instructions per second, which is almost twice the performance of the current Cortex-A9-based 1.5 GHz model (In their current devices) that delivers 7.5 billion Dhrystone instructions per second.

The problem Quad core Tegra is facing is that even with the 4 cores most apps cannot take advantage of it as it is not customized for using more than 2 cores. So games made specifically for it run great while everything else runs a bit slower. Thats why the faster chips in the TF700t which are A15 architecture and not A9 can take full advantage of the apps functionality as they are dual core but with far superior internal architecture.

Thats why I have always said the new lolpad is 3 months new at the date of release before its completely outdated. It runs a dual core A9 cortex (A5X) (yesterdays tech.) tablet with a mediocre graphic chip to help generate enough video bandwidth for its new retina display.

This years competition will be between Qualcomm 28nm A15 chip with adreno 225 vs Samsungs Exynos 5250 32 nm A15 dual core with Mali-T604 GPU (if T400 was considered the best GPU we can only imagine what this can do). Another chip to look into is Texas Instrument OMAP5 dual core A15 at 2Ghz with 2 companion M4 chips not sure what GFX chip it will run

Re: Android ICS no ad hoc wireless support

Jeremy Lakeman — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 03:35:37 -0000

> iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported on transport endpoint.

Looks like samsung have deliberately disabled adhoc mode in android 4.0. Note that for other android 4.0 roms on other hardware the above command works just fine.

Re: Problem Removing Additional Mailboxes from Outlook 2010

Mohamed — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 15:10:34 -0000

very easy. problem is after giving a user full access to another users mailbox it will always get stuck in outlook unless you remove permissions using exchange managment shell.
just run this: Change john with the user who's mailbox is appear in outlook 2010, and mike with the user who has outlook stuck with the mail box.

Re: Removing Exchange 2010 roles

Dwright80 — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 17:13:19 -0000

So, I ran the uninstall. It removed the Server role properly, but failed on the Management Tools. I performed a re-install and got all green check marks. But now, EMC won't load the snap-ins. What do you do when the uninstall fails?

Thanks, John. We have exactly this situation--user's workstation has Outlook 2007 but Remote Desktop Server has 2010, and user has roaming profile. We're choosing to just disable the roaming profile. I used to be a big fan of roaming profiles, but my enthusiasm for them has definitely cooled over the years. As much or more trouble than they're worth.

Re: Apple Announces IOS5, iCloud, iPhone 4S no iPhone 5

crd — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 04:33:53 -0000

I have a 4S and am yet to see proof that the camera includes any form of stabilization. Hand held footage is typified by a large amount of high-frequency shake.

I'm not sure where the claim as stated above has come from, though I doubt it was ever implemented into the actual product.

Looking forward to an iOS5 update which includes this functionality!

Re: Samsung Galaxy S II Release date AT&T

John Lee — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:30:08 -0000

Not sure Sanjiv. It looks like AT&T would want to capitalize on the revenue of the Galaxy s II. Pushing it back that far would seemingly pit it against the potential release of the iPhone 5 as well which would not seem to benefit them. It seems like they have been behind the 8 ball lately with their Android Phones. The Gingerbread update for the Infuse and other phones STILL has not appeared when it was said to be released sometime in August.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S II Release date AT&T

Sanjiv_thakor — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 14:36:03 -0000

I spoke to AT&T Sales team over the phone and they told me the official dates they were hearing for the Samsung Galaxy S II release was October 26th, which to me does not sound right, but thats what they told me ... Why would AT&T release more than a Month after Sprint officially starts selling theirs.

Re: Blackberry vs Android in the Enterprise

John Lee — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 12:27:25 -0000

Thanks Martin for your honest opinion and feelings on the matter. It is always nice to hear from someone who is struggling with some of the same difficulties that we run across here and hear how or if they have found ways around some of the issues that present themselves in the enterprise.

The Droid environment is certainly evolving and becoming more and more mature. Blackberry has simply had much longer to get everything right, but I do think that Google needs to step up to the plate if they want to be a major player in true enterprise computing/email environments. Albeit these are small issues with Android, but usually it is the small things that make or break the deal. Hopefully with very soon to be released iterations of Android, Google will address these issues.

Re: Blackberry vs Android in the Enterprise

Martin Z — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:00:44 -0000

Thank you for your very clear insight into a very frustrating issue for me. I am a recent convert from blackberry to android. We have an Exchange 2010 SP1 server with BES and I have several very active email accounts (average 750 substantive emails per day). So the lack of "read all" "delete all" functionality is a deal breaker for me.

I have been searching forums and blogs for workarounds or alternative email clients in the hope of a solution. K-9 appeared to be a possible solution. However with the discontinuation of WebDAV support in Exchange 2010, K-9 is out. As a former techie turned executive level end-user with no time to keep current on technology changes, I never underestimate the value of a "plain old works" solution to my technology issues. Therefore I will be going back to blackberry until this option is solved.
