The answer is: iPad mini. What is the question?

UPDATE:

Well, in fact the Celullar version of Ipad Mini has a better GPS than Nexus 7. But still, comparing Wifi version of Ipad Mini and Nexus7, Nexus7 wins. We will see on the 29th October if the Celullar version of Nexus7 can keep up with the competition

And the questions is:

On what 7″ tablet I don’t have a full GPS?

This post is inspired by a question posted by the multi system GPS app Copilot. As a Nexus 7 (proud even now) owner, I didn’t imagine even for a second that the new Ipad Mini doesn’t have at this moment a full GPS sensor. Amazed being, I looked at the 9.7″ Ipad specs only to find out that there is none there either.

What a hell?? Has anyone from Apple traveled lately outside their city? Haven’t they seen tons of tourists using their Ipads taking pictures? A full GPS sensor is a must for any tablet because it just makes a tablet a full XXI century travel guide.

Yes, the app ecosystem on Android is a disaster* with no known travel brands having city guides, but that doesn’t mean that Apple has even the slightest bit of logic in comparing on stage the Nexus7 with the Ipad Mini. At least on Nexus 7 are a few excellent GPS apps that make travelling more fun.

If Ipad Mini is good due to the ecosystem is because of the developers. And developers for some specific apps that feel crippled on iOS can quickly switch sides if there is profit to have.

*Android tablet apps section from play store looks like the digital section of Toys”R”Us not as a business/productivity/creativity section that it should be

How to reduce information overload for IT news

If you are used to read IT news, in time you start suffering from information overload. You add sources on Facebook, Twitter, RSS reader and the information keeps coming. And then comes a moment when you start thinking that you need to make a clean up. But you have no idea where to start.

Well here a pro tip on how to clean up your sources and be more efficient:

When a source has articles that contain phrases like:

This is an Apple [InsertProductName] killer
The new Apple [InsertProductName] is a large disappointment
Apple stock is doomed
Sell your Apple stock now
Apple [InsertProductName]‘s hardware is behind competition
Android has Flash
etc

Drop it! Delete without remorse. Not only that you are not loosing anything but in time you will see that you will have a better view on the IT field. There are only 2 situations in which the above statements are possible:

1. Stupidity: The author is an idiot that has no freaking idea what is he talking about. More than that, who pays for those articles is a bigger idiot that most likely employs only idiots

2. Greed: The author and who pays him know that the above statements are not true but they use the momentum for link baiting. A legit business model but not a reliable source of information
