  • Using Your NOOK for Video Conferencing

    Using Your NOOK for Video Conferencing

    NOOK’s new Samsung Galaxy Tab comes with a huge list of excellent new features, from the inclusion of streamlined and personalized apps to the exclusion of permanent “in your face” widgets that may not even be relevant to your preferences, but by far one of the best is the new NOOK runs Android 4.4 out of the box, giving it all the functions of a standard 7-inch Android tablet without the same “bloatware” apps and features found in most tablets. This allows users to go from using their NOOK strictly as a digital library to utilizing it in other leisure activities, school and even business.

    The fact that Samsung’s NOOK features a crisp front-facing camera, like its non-Barnes and Noble sibling the Galaxy Tab 4, even makes it possible to use the device for video communications such as Skype and other video conferences. Most smartphones are capable of the same thing, but using a compact tablet or eReader offers the benefit of a larger, higher definition, brighter screen; this makes for better viewing quality and better lighting for anyone on the other end.

    EnLightning: All about the New iOS USB Standard

    iiNet’s iPhone 6 plans are a popular option for those looking for the best of the current generation iPhone experience, but many longtime iPhone owners are surprised to find their old accessories no longer work with their new iOS devices. The original 30-pin platform, a wide, flat input that was the standard charger and USB style for years, provided a reasonably reliable connection between iOS devices and charging or power sources, but was not without significant flaws.

    30-pin connections were unidirectional, meaning they only worked if inserted into the device in a specific direction, and they also degraded over time with many ceasing to work during their projected working lifespan. To address these issues, Apple developed the proprietary Lightning charger as a superior alternative and introduced it with the release of the iPhone 5.
