Kindle , Nook , KidsPad, Grand Pad & a whole pile of Hardware

The concept of selling "hardware" when it's just a matter of software.
I freaking dislike people selling "Kids learning tablet" and "Seniors Tablet" all BS.





A single hardware, can do every damn thing that these people are selling as different products. And even the Kindle & similar "readers", that they sell with such a simple marketing strategies.  They say its' paper white & don't damage your eyes much. Excuse me? Can't that be achieved with your normal smart phone / tablet? With a simple toggle between Reader/Play modes? People keep heaping gadgets in their homes. 
Just phones for adults & And a good Tablets for children should be good enough to do all these circus.

Windows Phone , The first step gone wrong

Like I've written in previous posts, I'm a gadget freak and I have plenty of devices on hand.  When Samsung Focus was released first, I got one.  And I wished Windows Phone a very good success. But how it would happen , if the first impression is so bad. The most critical requirement in a smart phone is battery.  No matter battery lasting long or not, we should be able to POWER ON the phone at least with the charger connected.  The Android devices I had can be restarted in seconds. Even if battery went down to 0. All it takes is to connect the phone to the charger and power it on. And we can continue to use it connected to the charger.  Just imagine you are sending a long urgent mail to a client or a friend , at the last minute the battery gets drained and you went mad. The moment you find your charger, the first thing you do is to connect it, Switch the phone on again, OS boots in a second, You get back to the mail client and click SEND and relax.

With Windows Phone 7. Samsung Focus,  We need to wait for MINUTES. All we would see is this screen :

And nothing else! for 10+ minutes, if I remember it right.  I asked my electronic friends, why this freak show happens in particular phones.  They say, it's based on the circuit. I don't know what the heck but why Microsoft always settles for the poor option available in the industry? What people need , is heavily overlooked. :(
