Onyx Book I62A specifications and price

Onyx Book I62A is a new ebook reader that features a 6 inch e-Ink display and it retails for $89 with cover. For many the Onyx Book I62A is a like Barnes Noble Touch tablet that is updated to newer operating system and faster processor. This model is currently not on sale in Europe but we have heard that is coming soon to European land.

Onyx Book I62A specifications include a 6 inch eink pearl display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels and runs Android 2.3 OS that runs fine thanks to the powerful Rockchip 1 GHz processor and 512MB RAM.

For storage you get meager 4GB but that should be just fine to store quite a lot of ebooks but if you want to store more, you can always use its micro SD card slot.

Onyx Book I62A

The Onyx Book I62A also comes with Wi-Fi module and headphone jack. It weighs 238 grams and has thickness of 10.2 mm.

But let us face it, after the launch of Amazon Kindle 2014 model for 59 euro, it leaves no room for competition. Thus Onyx will have to work very hard in pushing these units off the shelves as Kindle offers so much more for less.

Gaming on the iPhone

When it was released, the iPhone 6, like its predecessors, was an instant hit. People around the globe were clamoring for the device as either new iPhone owners or as an upgrade. The latest version of the iPhone, the iPhone 6, is being widely used for gaming purposes. In fact, many find the iPhone to be an ideal device for gamers. While previous versions of the iPhone worked well for gaming, the iPhone 6 is just that much better. Its dimensions make it easy to hold in one’s hands while playing their favorite games and at the same it provides more immersive experience as it packs a bigger display. Compared to the iPhone 5, the newer model has 0.7” bigger screen which makes a big difference in real life.

The iPhone 6 has a much larger and longer screen. While it still may not be as big as some Android phones, its length is important. With the longer screen, it makes for a 16:9 ratio which is the same as an HDTV. What this means for users is a screen that makes all mobile games look correct in landscape mode. For many who play mobile games, they find the experience much more pleasing with this new design. Another side benefit is that the iPhone 6 has a longer screen is that there is more room for the buttons and battery. Talking about battery, expect rise in battery runtimes by 30 percent.

Gamers point to this as another reason why they enjoy gaming on the iPhone. Many mobile have optimized online versions of certain games so they work well on the iPhone. The classic game of blackjack can be found for use on the iPhone. Blackjack is easy to learn and can be played quickly on mobile devices. The object of the game is to obtain a hand with a value of 21 or as close to that without going over.

Of course, it also matters what the dealer’s hand looks like. If the dealer has a hand that would beat the players, the dealer wins. On the other hand, if the dealer’s hand is less than the player’s, the player would win. Ties, also known as pushes, can also happen.

Microsoft has also brought some amazing desktop games like Age of Empires to iPhone and it looks wonderful on the big display. If you are a heavy gamer, consider getting the iPhone 6 Plus that packs even bigger display and battery.

Galaxy Alpha prerooted zipaligned firmware that is knox-free

There is only one problem with it – when you reboot it, the firmware forgets the Wi-Fi password. For that you will have to modify build.prop and change "ro.securestorage.support" from "true" to "false" and then it everything will work fine.
