Microsoft recently unveiled its Surface Tablet hybrid. Its a tablet that can connect with a iPad like smart cover which has integrated keyboard and track-pad. The Surface has Magnesium chassis, vapour deposition coating, cutaway edges, ClearType HD display. It will come in two versions normal and pro. The normal version has ARM processor and comes with Windows 8 (WOA, RT or whatever they are calling it now). The pro version has x86 Intel 3rd Gen Core-i5 processor(Ivy Bridge). The ARM version has a 720p HD display and x86 version has 1080p display. Now, to actually compare the Surface to other tablets and hybrids in the market, Surface doesn't offer anything revolutionary or new to the market. The only revolutionary feature it has is a smart cover which has keyboard and track-pad. Seriously, it feels like Microsoft has accepted that touch can never replace physical keyboard. This strategy is a failure from the get-go. Even though, iPad has...

Microsoft's Jensen Harris, Director of Program Management for Microsoft’s User Experience team, over on the Building Windows 8 Blog has revealed that it has made some big changes to its desktop UI for Windows 8, which includes moving away from Aero Glass — the UI first introduced with Vista. According to the company, this means visual changes that include "flattening surfaces, removing reflections, and scaling back distracting gradients." Aero gave the appearance of highly-rendered glass, light sources, reflections, and other graphically complex textures in the title bars, taskbar, and other system surfaces. The effect, which was purely cosmetic, allowed the desktop, icons and windows that were hidden beneath other windows to show through the surround of the application. This the new theme that will replace the Aero Glass UI. To conclude, I am not a fan of Metro UI, it looks and feels to boring and dull (read ugly) to me. The use to bold colors adds makes it look ...

Metro UI on Windows Phone 7 and Windows 8 is very unique, but if you are on Android tablet you cannot experience it. But its release for Android tablets has made it possible, ' BroBot175 ' from XDA developers has designed and released Metro UI for Android tablets giving them the Metro tiled look of Windows 8. The theme is flashable to your device using ClockworkMod recovery. It’s worth noting that the theme is in beta, but there is a website with instructions for installing the mod. Apparently, the mod will work on the Asus Transformer and Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets right now.

For Android tablet owners, browsing the Google Play Store can sometimes be a pain, with tons of scaled-up phone apps hiding among the truly tablet-optimized. Sure, there's always the curated Staff Picks for Tablets section, but that offers only a tiny taste of all the delicious HD goodness that's really out there. Enter Tablified Market--a curated market just for tablet-specific apps. The people behind it have a strict set of criteria that an app must meet in order to be included in the database, which to us means no more phone apps in search results. For one, an approved app must be distinguishable from its phone-specific counterpart (if it has one). This means it has to take full advantage of the larger screen somehow. Also, the Tablified gatekeepers are specifically on the lookout for apps that incorporate Android's Action Bar and use the tablet-specific Fragments API. Using Tablified is as intuitive as using any other market. It lets you search for apps base...
