Before this, I am confused whether to buy tablet, or smart phone after my previous hand phone was broken. I really don’t know which one is the best and worth for me to purchase it. Therefore, I started to search and Google to help me in making decision and find the answer.
What are tablets and smart phones?
Tablets are somewhat of a cross between smart phones and laptops. They tend to have a bigger screen than smart phones and are mainly able to do everything that smart phones can, except making calls and sending SMS. There are also some applications that only run in tablets and not in smart phones. Tablets are built to provide a rich multimedia experience and allow a user to have more computational capabilities.
On the other hand, smart phones fulfill people needs as a phone first. The primary function is connectivity. They allow user to make calls, as well as receive and send text messages. They also have additional capabilities, and tend to perform more like a personal digital assistant. This is mainly due to their independent operating systems that install and run advanced and complex applications.
The advantage that smart phones have on tablets is their portability. Smart phones usually have a screen measuring between 3.5 until 4.3 inches. Compare to the tablets, the screen of tablets measure between 7 until 10.5 inches. Therefore, smart phones suit the need of majority of people that carry their phones in their pocket. Me also prefer to have a gadget that may suit to my pocket.
However, the benefits of tablets are having battery life better than smart phones. Smart phones’ battery life is not lasting for a longer period and always need to charges compare to the tablets.
Actually, there are many advantages and disadvantages in using tablets and smart phone. However, the most important thing is, I have sufficient enough of budget to purchase either tablet or smart phone and I have clearly determine what are my priority.

Android Devices: Tethering and Portable Wi-Fi Hotspots
Android Devices: Tethering and Portable Wi-Fi Hotspots
What is tethering and portable Wi-Fi hotspots?? Honestly, I am the one who do not know much about technology. Before this, I don't know how to connect the internet by using tethering and portable wi-fi hotspots until my friend told me that I can do so by using my smartphone. Actually, I'm the new user for smartphone, Sony Xperia V that I bought it about one month ago. Talking about my new phone, at the beginning I was awkward to use it. It is because, my previous phone is a normal mobile phone that just have keypad and at that moment, I don't know what is android!
This is my previous phone. I used this phone only for call and text message. I bought the new one because the previous phone was broken.
My new smartphone
Now, I am happy using this android device and this is worth it to buy this smartphone. I subscribe Celcom broadband for my smartphone for one week to connect the internet. Usually, I always use broadband device for my laptop but unfortunately I left the broadband at my hometown.
At the beginning, I was worried because I don't know how to do all my assignments, tasks, homework until my friend told me that I can use usb cable to connect the internet from my smartphone to my laptop, with called tethering and portable wi-fi hotspots. Tethering is when you turn on your smartphone into a mobile Wi-Fi hotspots and share your phones 3G or 4G data connection. One's you have turned tethering on, any device with wireless connection can connect to the internet via your smartphone connection.
However, not all smartphone support tethering. Thanks to Allah, my phone is able to support tethering. Usually, the most popular smartphone can do, including the iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S3, Nokia Lumia 920, Blackberry z10, and of course, my beloved Sony Xperia V. By using this tethering and portable hotspots, we have to enter the password to prevent other people piggybacking on our connection. But, we just have to enter the password for the first time we connect, and next time, the tablet should connect automatically. We also can use usb cable to tethering and connect the internet.
