Posts Tagged ‘bigger’

We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, then here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget inquiry is from Anthony, who feels that bigger is better. If you’re looking to ask one of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

“Back in the days of the Netbook, a 10-inch device was crap, but now 10-inch devices is pretty much all you can get. What’s available (and good) that’s bigger than 10-inches?”

Well Anthony, there certainly are a few tablets for the meaty-handed out there, but the question of which one you should buy is less clear. After all, there’s Archos’ 11.6-inch 116 Platinum or Toshiba’s 13-inch Excite 13, but if you’re prepared to wait a while, Panasonic’s forthcoming 20-inch 4K tablet and Viewsonic’s rumored 22-inch unit. Of course, that’s just a smattering of suggestions from us. This, after all, is Ask Engadget — so let’s open the question up to the floor and see what we can shake out together.

Nintendo seems to have a knack for repeat performances. Nintendo DS? Quickly supplanted by the DS Lite — and the DSi didn’t last too long either before it was succeeded by the DSi XL. Even the 3DS saw a revision, when it was supersized last summer. These redesigns typically don’t change more than the device’s size, but when the 3DS XL was announced, some gamers were left wanting. Didn’t the original 3DS get an accessory specifically to address the lack of a second analog pad? Why didn’t Nintendo take the opportunity to add dual-analog controls? Well, if that happened, Nintendo couldn’t release an encore Circle Pad Pro accessory, could it? Let’s take a look at the 3DS XL Circle Pad Pro and see what’s changed.

We’ve never understood why Panasonic chose to brand its top-line tablet as the Toughbook H2, but given the hairy-chested types who build and use the gear, we’re not gonna challenge ‘em. The company hasn’t messed too much with the Windows 7 slate, except pushing the top chip to a 2.8GHz Intel Core i5-3427U and to swap out the 320GB 7,200RPM shock-mounted HDD for a 500GB model. Panasonic has also tweaked the hardware’s polycarbonate-encased magnesium alloy chassis, with MIL-STD-810G1 ensuring that the gear will survive drops from six-feet, as well as IP651 weather-proofing. The 3.5-pound unit also sees its battery life pushed to seven hours and also gains boosted WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.1+EDR connectivity. Once you’ve selected a unit, there’s a hefty list of possible add-ons, including barcode scanners, smart card readers, Gobi-running 3G, LTE and GPS options. There’s even a model that meets MIL-STD-461F standards for electromagnetic protection — useful if your day job involves battling superheroes. The standard unit will set you back $ 3,349 and comes with a three-year international warranty, so you’d better get buttering-up your procurement manager now.

Austin-based re:3D just started a Kickstarter campaign for the Gigabot, a large-format 3D printer designed to build things on a 24x24x24 inch built envelope, allowing you to make much larger objects than you can with similar printers like the Makerbot. You can get the bot kit for $ 2,500 or a pre-assembled unit for $ 4,000.

The company was looking for a $ 40,000 pledge and has already surpassed $ 60,000 so there’s a good chance this thing will ship in time for your the time when you need to build a 13,824 cubic-inch Christmas present.

The team launched the project at SXSW and the company is founded by Samantha Lynne Snabes and Matthew Fiedler and a number of others with experience in manufacturing and design. They write:

It prints primarily in PLA right now because it does not have a heated build plate but there are plans to offer that option in the future. While PLA isn’t ideal for some industrial situations, the plant-based plastic is still very usable and workable.

You can check out the project here or just imagine what it would be like to print out your own head, to scale, in corn-based resin.

From time to time we ‘d stumble upon some cool Do It Yourself jobs inspired by Physician Who, the world’s longest-running sci-fi TELEVISION program, but absolutely nothing beats this little TARDIS that would really make you gasp out the timeless line: “It’s larger on the inside!” Greg Kumparak, a previous writer of sister website TechCrunch, initially developed absolutely nothing even more than simply a convincing design of the iconic blue police box (with a working light at the top) by hand, however quickly afterwards he wanted to in some way offer it an interior too.

By using the Blender 3D creation suite (which was a first for Kumparak), Unity 3D engine and Qualcomm’s Vuforia AR SDK, the outcome is an Android app that renders the 3D interior atop the random wave-like pattern– visible once the door’s removed– on the TARDIS in genuine time (no pun meant). Once you have actually seen the trial video after the break, you ‘d probably concur that Kumparak’s just one sonic screwdriver away from coming to be an honorary Time Lord. For even more specific on how and why this project was placed together, head over to Kumparak’s post.

If you ’ ve enjoyed and delighted in the program known as “ The Good Health care provider Who ” in which an alien of some type who flies around with his little, knobby robotic friend (I ’ m not entirely clear on the specifics), you ’ ll be pleased to keep in mind that one follower, our very own previous staff member Greg Kumparak, has actually built a real Tardis police box which, using some digital trickery, is actually larger on the inside.

Greg constructed his little Tardis around Thanksgiving and included a little light on top. Because he ’ s a Dr. Who fan, he found his device to be lacking in realism. He then scheduled a 3D design of the inside of the Tardis – it appears like the inside of the Teletubby house – and included an augmented-reality element to make the room inside appear when you held up your smartphone. Bang: instant Tardis.

Greg stopped dealing with us so he might start developing things and this is one of his coolest little creations. I ’ m not a huge Dr. Who fan, but anybody who has enough love and intensity to build an adorable little model and make it all the cooler is a hero in my book. Now he simply has to make the Millennium Falcon from Star Trek.

MediaPortal is a rare veteran spinoff of XBMC– a testament to its enthusiast base, but also a sign that it needs a fresh coat of paint. A brand-new 1.3 beta may supply just what house theater COMPUTER users have been trying to find to keep the front end appropriate, at least in the short term. It holds a much more modern (and less Windows Media Center-like) skin with slight tweaks to the layout and total interface. CableCARD support additionally makes its past due appearance, although the shortage of official CableLabs approval keeps the software from acknowledging any copy-protected programs. Do not fuss if those additions aren’t enough, nonetheless– we’ve been offered a hint regarding exactly what the long-in-development MediaPortal 2 will certainly offer with a pair of videos. The clips are mostly top-level reviews, but they allude to mobile tie-ins, events, extensions, more skin support, video backgrounds and updates. With an Autumn Build of MP2 available “right around the corner” for customers, it could not be long before we discover exactly what those brand-new additions are like through first-hand experience.

There’s been a trend towards big smartphones. Sometimes, really big. Even so, concerns have persisted that the cart is driving the horse — that customers are buying big phones because that’s what’s available, not because they have a preference. Kantar Worldpanel ComTech might not put that issue to bed once and for all, but its latest study suggests that there’s at least some appeal to all that extra glass. Among Android phones sold in the past three months across eight countries, 29 percent of them had a screen larger than 4.5 inches. Their owners were unsurprisingly more active as well, using the internet and watching videos more often than those whose phones have more modest displays.

Market share might be following suit. Throughout the countries Kantar is tracking, Android still has roughly half or more of the market, ranging from 46.8 percent in Brazil to a staggering 86.8 percent of Spain. In Europe alone, it was up by just over a fifth from a year ago. We know iOS is taking a beating outside of the US as a result. Before anyone calls the trend irreversible, however, remember that we’re on the edge of an unpredictable period: we know some mobile fans have been holding out for a new iPhone, and all the apparent rumors have Apple choosing a bigger screen that might satisfy some outstanding gripes with screen sizes. We’re also anticipating at least a few Windows Phone wildcards that could shake up the status quo and make this a three-horse race.
