Q. I want to get an i pad or somthing like that. I only have $200 though. Does anyone know any good electronic websites for less money?
A. You can't get an Apple IPAD for that price. Apple products are very much more. Maybe the oldest used oned on craigslist or ebay, but $200 is still low. Any web site showing low prices is cheating you in some way.
If looking for a low priced tablet PC, they are not nearly an IPAD, but they do exist and called Android tablets. Here is one recent article:

and another about a year ago, but they did get a little better in a year.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/25/ask-engadget-best-android-tablet-for-under-200/
It is not where you buy as much as what you buy at $200 level price.
Walmart, Meijer, Tigerdirect-Compusa, Fry's are all OK. Sometimes a sale at business stores like officemax. Online at Newegg or the above stores.
If you are looking for cheap gadgets including accessories, I like www.dealextreme.com
It takes a while for delivery, but the web site is excellent and the store ratings are good. The brand names are mostly unknown as they ship from Hong Kong.

Should I get the Ipad or Microsoft Surface?
Q. So I want to get a tablet and an Ipad looks cool, I have an Ipod touch and I play on it all the time, but then I heard about the new Microsoft Surface that is coming soon and that caught my eye, I think it looks pretty cool, but I can not decide which I want to get?
A. I had the original iPad and it is time for me to upgrade my tablet (out of memory). I was faced with the same decision, between both tablets. I ruled out android tablets, but due to personal preferences. So I loved my iPad, and I used it all the time. I believe it is a device that it is fantastic for single task jobs and media consumption. Like reading eBooks, checking emails, watching Netflix and youtube, and playing games. I think that it is especially good due to Apple's large ecosystem of games, music, movies, apps, books, etc. You will be very pleased with iPad specific apps. The iPad is also good for light web browsing, writing emails and short papers, taking notes, etc. It can handle that stuff, but will by no means replace a computer in terms of power, multitasking, etc. The surface will run Microsofts Windows 8 with touch friendly metro UI. It will come in two versions, one aimed towards PCs the other towards tablets like the iPad. So I assume since you took interest in the iPad you will probably go with the surface geared to compete with it. The surface runs a full desktop OS. It has all the ports that you can find in computers, it handles microsoft platforms well, like office, one note, etc. It can multitask decently. It is definably geared towards more of a computer replacement with productivity in mind. Its main Microsoft designed accessory is slim attachable keyboard cases, which paired up with the kickstand in the back will make it like a laptop. One of their main selling points is well its a tablet and a PC. I find it that it falls in an awkward position. It isn't going to replace a laptop with a true keyboard when typing those long papers, or when needed to multitask with several windows open, running intense adobe flash websites or even being able to use the keyboard everywhere since it needs the kickstand to be up, and that only works on flat surfaces. It also isn't a tablet too well either because it is lacking the content and media that apple has so much of, like for movies and apps. It is going to overheat and possibly lag and suffer from poor battery life like computers. The whole point of a tablet is to escape that kind of stuff. With the surface your just going back into it. So i wouldn't say the surface is the best of both worlds, it falls in an awkward position right in the middle where it doesn't do either well at all. As for the iPad is great for media and light productivity. Tablets were never meant to replace PCs, just to work with them and make a more seamless experience, like the iPad does with the Mac. Also, you already have an iPod so you've invested in Apple's ecosystem so there is a good reason to stay. So I personally think iPad is your best bet. We know to little about surface as of right now like price, battery life, release date. Even with what we do know, it sounds like it has many problems to overcome. So I recommend the iPad, in fact I'm picking myself up one today. Good luck!
Is reading on a kindle the same as reading a book?
Q. I love reading, but I'm running out of shelf space so I pre-ordered a Kindle Fire. However, is reading from a Kindle just as rewarding as reading an actual book? This sounds stupid but I feel like I'm gonna miss the feeling of the paper between my fingers, turning pages, and the smell of a new/old book. What do you think? Do you get the same experience?
A. Don't get a Kindle Fire. I'll address that in a moment.
Reading an e-reader doesn't have quite the same feel as reading a paper book, but for the black-and-white readers, it's pretty close. What you may initially miss about turning pages is greatly outweighed by cheaper book prices, nice feautres like searches, on-the-fly word definition lookups, automatic bookmarking, making highlights and margin notes without having to actually mark up a book, and being able to carry your whole library around in your purse. It may take you a day or two to get used to, but you will absolutely love having an e-reader.
Now the bit about the Kindle Fire. The KF, and other full-color e-readers, aren't like reading a book at all--they're like reading a laptop. That may be tolerable to you. However, a full-color screen has all of the problems of a laptop: it washes out in bright light (especially sunlight), and it drains the battery pretty quickly. The black-and-white e-readers read almost like a paper book. The screen is polarized, which means that once an image is displayed on it (like a page in a book), it requires no more power to display the image. You can look at the same illustration or page for 30 minutes and it won't drain the battery any more than just flipping past the page would have.
I understand why you're attracted to the Kindle Fire. A full color screen, fully touch sensitive, with the capability to play music, download apps, play games, and watch video. That's pretty tempting. However, Kindle products use their own OS, so game and app choices are going to be limited. Also, Kindle products use a proprietary Kindle e-book format, so the hundreds of thousands of titles in e-PUB and PDF formats, many of which are free, are inaccessible to a Kindle. Many of these books will have Kindle editions available, but not all.
If you want a full-color device, an Android tablet or an iPad is a much better way to go. Both platforms offer free applications to view e-books both for the Kindle and for other e-readers, so no title is out of reach for you. The screen and battery life will be similar, and when reading e-books, you won't notice the difference between the tablet and the KF. Your access to games and apps will be a thousand times what it would be on the Kindle platform, also. If you choose one of these, I recommend you demo both an iPad and an Android tablet. Personally, I prefer Android for a few reasons, but both platforms are excellent.
However, if the device is primarily for reading e-books, I HIGHLY recommend you get a black-and-white e-reader. Again, the B/W Kindle will let you read only Kindle format e-books. My recommendation is the Barnes&Noble Nook, first edition. The Wi-Fi version (you don't need 3G) is priced at $79 right now, and the accessories are on sale for dirt cheap also. You can get fully outfitted for under $100, and have plenty of room left over to stock up on books. The B/W screens do NOT wash out in bright light, and are much easier on the eyes are color screens. The first edition features a little color touch screen at the bottom, which can be used to view color illustrations and perform various other tasks. It shuts off while you're reading, so it isn't a big drain on the battery. You'll easily get a week (sometimes two) on one charge, even for hours of reading nightly.
The downside is that the Nook v.1 is pretty much a dedicated reading device. There are a couple very basic games, and a web browser which is fairly clunky to use. But, you have a computer, right? If you really need the extra stuff, get a tablet and not a KF.
Fun fact: you can now borrow e-books for FREE from most local libraries. Some libraries also offer Kindle format e-books, some don't. The e-books are electronically "checked out" and downloaded, and then automatically "returned" once the borrowing time is expired. You can download books from your library from anywhere in the world, as long as you have a library card. You can even place holds on books, or put yourself on a waiting list if the title you want is already checked out. Once the title becomes available, it's automatically downloaded to your e-reader.

what is the most suitable website for the software nokia 5800 china model phone?
Q. i really regret to buy phone made in china (nokia 5800), because there are a lot of problems...the content inside is not too complete, such as no wifi, no GPS..So, anyone can help me to find the website to reinstall free software?
A. nokia phones are also manufactured/assembled in china.
nokia phone you got maybe a china version for use of chinese people but smuggled out from china by some big time syndicate, those type are for use only on china usually on remote places in china wherein communication is main use and no need for added high-tech features.
yes it looks the same as the export version but only the looks,
you can buy nokia phone manufactured in china but the standard quality will be the same for europe and middle east version.
middle east version nokia usually assembled in finland, hungary and china, but one thing you will notice is the keypads, you will arabic letters with the numbers instead of the english alphabet. a/b/c/d etc etc..
when a company will put up assembly plant in china, each product that will be produce must have a china version, government policy/ law as they claim.
that is the strategy china is using that is why they were able to pirate/copy every product from around the globe and compete on the same product they are manufacturing for the companies who invested well on china.. bright ha !
here in my place, when we buy phone, we are offered, china version or made in china..
made in china, must be the choice, complete details, warranty from factory, software, accessories etc etc, just like buying the finland version or the genuine version, and those are licensed by the original manufacturer NOKIA..
see the difference ?
same goes with computers, laptops and the mouse you are using now.
what ever brand you by now, dell , hp. lenovo . toshiba, etc. all are labeled made in china.. except for samsung and LG, which is made in Korea..
speaking of Korea, you can also buy Nokia labeled made in korea..
same quality as the original version..
addition info.
phones offered by microsoft, google android, apple are also made in china and exported back to US.
china version is also available. resolution is somewhat different and with less features,
oh,, i forgot to mention..
tablet pc are also made in china and india..
so watch out..
