So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Product Review: Otterbox Defender Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab

By Ahsan Currimbhoy


Since the emergence of the Apple iPad, the tablet market has become relevant again. While older tablets ran on watered down versions of computer operating systems, this new generation of popular tablets seem to be running on either smartphone operating systems such as iOS, Android and WebOS (upcoming HP tablet) or full Windows 7 (such as the HP Slate or soon to be releasing Asus Eee Pad). The portability of tablets make it a more viable option to carry around than laptop PCs as these operating systems have many tools great for both personal and corporate use. Also, given the power and coverage of mobile internet on 3G and 4G, this device is truly the ultimate device for somebody who is on the go.

This particular 7" tablet by Samsung is running the highly acclaimed Android 2.2 operating system with their popular TouchWiz user interface on top. It features high end hardware, similar to what is found on their Galaxy S series of smartphones (which in the United States includes the Captivate, Vibrant, Fascinate, Epic and Mesmerize) meaning it has the same powerful 1GHz Hummingbird processor (which based on various benchmark tests is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, single core processor on the market), 512MB of RAM and is available with the options of 16GB or 32GB internal storage plus it includes a Micro SD slot expandable up to 32GB more of storage. Unlike the iPad, this tablet also includes a good 3MP rear camera for pictures and videos and a 1.3MP front facing camera for video calls and self-portraits and is capable of making phone calls (either through speakerphone or Bluetooth). This tablet is available by Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile.

A great on the go device like this one requires accessories to keep it in pristine condition to preserve the condition throughout the time you own it as well as the resale value and a device like this one should retain its value well. There are two products which can provide the best protection to all aspects of your phone or tablet, those being a case to protect the body from scratches, scuffs, bumps and drops and a screen protector to protect the most important part of a touchscreen device, the screen.

As somebody who has used cases by many different manufacturers, none impressed me more than Otterbox. The awesome styles coupled with ultimate protection make it the best purchase to protect this expensive and powerful device. This particular case for the Galaxy Tab is a part of the Defender series by Otterbox.

It includes three layers of protection including a high quality polycarbonate shell and a durable silicone skin as well as a clear screen protector. I have found that this strategy by Otterbox works to protect devices better than anything else on the market. If you are have or are planning to purchase a Samsung Galaxy Tab, then it you should take a very strong look at the defender case by Otterbox as I have yet to come across a product which does a better job at protecting a great device like this.
