You Might Want To Know About the LG G Pad 8.3 tablet


The recently announced Optimus G2 is getting most of the limelight in the mobile devices section of the LG stand at IFA in Berlin but the Korean manufacturer also has another interesting device on display: the brand new G Pad 8.3. With a 8.3-inch screen the G Pad goes straight at similarly sized devices like the Google Nexus 7 or iPad Mini and is touted as the ideal tablet companion for the G2 by its manufacturer.

Key specifications

  • Android 4.2.2
  • 8.3-inch 1920 x 1200 pixels IPS display (273 ppi)
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor, 1.7 GHz
  • 5MP  camera
  • 2GB RAM
  • 16GB internal memory
  • microSD slot up to 64GB
  • 4600mAh battery
  • 336g
The G Pad's specification is pretty much in line with other devices in its class. An LG-modified version of Android 4.2 is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor, the same chip we have seen in a range of smartphones this year. 2GB RAM and 16GB built-in storage are pretty standard, and a microSD-card slot caters for those who prefer content storing over streaming.
A metal cover can be found on the G Pad's back.
The 5MP is located in the top left corner of the device's back.
The IPS screen offers a resolution of 1900x1200 pixels with vibrant colors and sharp detail. The 5-megapixel rear camera is a simple unit not meant for any serious photography but which should suffice for the occasional snapshot. The 1.3MP front camera provides video messaging capabilities. The interface of the camera app is very simple and only offers a fraction of the software bells and whistles that can be found on the G2. Stereo speakers are located on the back of the G Pad.
The G Pad's design can only be described as a little uninspired. There's nothing wrong with it per se, but with its white (or black) plastic front and the metal inlay in the back the G Pad simply looks like a ton of other Android tablets already out there.
A front camera is available for video-calling.
A microSD card slot caters to those who require more than the built-in 16GB of storage.
Notable features  include "Slide Aside" which allows for multi-tasking by sliding open apps off to the side using a three-finger swipe. "QSlide" controls up to three different apps in one window. "KnockON" is a feature we have first seen on the G2 smartphone and turns the device on and off by tapping the display twice.
Like most tablets the G Pad comes with a fairly simple camera app ...
...and a limited selection of shooting modes.
Overall the the LG G Pad 8.3 looks like a very solid device but doesn't offer anything that we wouldn't have seen before, neither design wise nor from a features and specification point of view. At this point we can't see a compelling reason to choose the G Pad over the competition but pricing information is not yet available and at an attractive price point the LG could become a more than viable alternative to some of the more established competitors in the tablet sector. The LG G Pad 8.3 will be available globally in the fourth quarter.

This tutorial is intended for those people especially working from one place to another. Just like me, this happened when I was working in a prestigious hotel in Makati that I had to open an account for my salary. The bank was Equitable PCI in Rosario, Pasig (that was before  the merger with BDO).  Years passed and I had to let go of my job to be able to work onboard a cruise ship  MS Saga Ruby . Me and my wife opened two separate savings account for remittance but this time the bank was Banco De Oro  in Rustan's Cubao (We were renting a small room near Cubao by that time) and years passed again we moved to Cabanatuan City. Soon, we decided to transfer our bank account from BDO Rustan's Cubao to one of BDO's here in Cabanatuan City because her ATM Card and my ATM Card was stolen together with her wallet and some ID's. I was still onboard that time when it happened, so, what she did was she reported it to BDO 24/7 Hotline #  1 800 10 631 8000 (PLDT Domestic Toll-F

Wally Bayola's Scandalous Sex Video Spreads Online

Image
                  The local showbiz has once again became the source of buzz and entertainment. Two of well known celebrities such as Chito Miranda and Wally Bayola were on a separate sex scandal video together with their partners Neri Naig and EB Babe dancer Yosh Rivera .  I think many of you already watched the videos and some of you simply chose not to watch it because it's immoral for them to watch such videos. It's your own opinion. That is your choice, I don't blame you for that but please don't judge me or anyone else who have watched the videos. Yeah, I admit I have watched it so many times but don't blame me. Blame them.           They are the one to blame for recording their sexual act and not so careful about that precious files. Who knows, maybe they are the one who uploaded it to the internet just to spread out to become popular. But I must admire these couples because despite of this, life goes on. It must goes on for them.
