MWC 2013: ZTE Introduces Grand Memo with 5.7-Inch Large Screen

At the end of last month, Microsoft brought out its first self-branded tablet - Microsoft Surface. Actually, Surface's launch was not a surprise, as the Windows giant is keen to compete with Apple's flagship iPad. And according to IHS iSuppli, Microsoft's Surface may be a more lucrative tablet than Apple's iPad. Then we can see that how fierce the rivalry between Microsoft and Apple. And on the other hand, we can also infer that Microsoft Surface is definitely a great competitive device.
So, which one would you like to choose, the Microsoft Surface or iPad 4?
To help you make a good buying decision, we present a detailed comparison of specifications, features and key differences that might help you make up your mind.
iPad 4 vs Microsoft Surface: Display
Surface offers a 10.6-inch display claiming to manage a display resolution at a 1,366 x 768 pixels. However, iPad 4 comes with a 9.7-inch Retina Display which supports a superior display resolution at 2,048 x 1,536 pixels.
We can see even the display of iPad 4 is a little smaller than that of Surface, it cannot make great influence on the glamour of the iPad 4. As we all already know, Apple's latest iPad comes with its visually enhanced Retina Display, which makes it ideal for use as an entertainment device. Of course, iPad 4 is not an exception. So from this point, iPad 4 is more favorable than Microsoft Surface.
iPad 4 vs Microsoft Surface: Operating System
The iPad 4 runs Apple's latest mobile operating system - iOS 6, which adds more than 200 new features to the previous iteration of the software, including a new Maps app with turn-by-turn navigation and a new flyover view. Maybe there is also a long way for Apple to go to develop a perfect a new Maps app. But we are sure Apple’s iOS operating system has the potential to become increasingly perfect.
The Microsoft Surface runs the new Windows 8 operating system. And maybe the strongest point of Microsoft Surface is the addition of Microsoft's Office 2013 suite which means if you invest in a Microsoft Surface, you can take advantage of Microsoft's Office 2013 suite for free. It really an exciting gift for those who always make good use of Microsoft Office.
iPad 4 vs Microsoft Surface: Processor
The Surface tablet is powered by an Nvidia T30 quad-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz, while the iPad ships with the revamped A6X processor.and both of the two devices are equipped with an additional USB port for supporting game controllers. But apparently, a stronger quad-core processor coupled with Nvidia graphics in the Surface tablet is more attractive for power-hungry mobile gamers. No needless to say with the Xbox 360, Microsoft is already such a strong player in the games market.
iPad 4 vs Microsoft Surface: Battery
Battery is always an important consideration when we choose a tablet. Microsoft claims that the Surface tablet can provide 8 hours of battery backup on a single charge, while Apple promises an impressive ten hours on Wi-Fi or nine on the mobile data network with a 11560mAh battery which boasts offer twice of the standby time as that of the Windows tablet. It sounds compelling.
In my opinion, after taking all the factors into consideration, of course including the price, those looking for a budget tablet for office work should opt for the Surface, while the iPad 4 is perfect for entertainment freaks.

Recently, shortly after Apple’s dropping its latest version of smartphone – iPhone 5, Sumsung also hurried to took the wraps off its all-new Galaxy Note 2. Immediately, a big battle between the two popular smartphones began. Then, when faced with the two hottest smartphones, which one will you prefer to choose? I think only after a detailed comparison can you pick out the most suitable one per your need.
Galaxy Note 2 vs. iPhone 5 Appearance
For starters, to a large extent, what the first impression a smartphone give us depend on its appearance. Sometimes it can even decisively influence the transaction. Yes, it is not so difficult to understand. You know, at most times, many other than a few people will buy something which they actually do not need just because it looks so nice or attractive. So in this case appearance of a smartphone is of great significance.
As we already know, compared with iPhone 5 or even other smartphones, Galaxy Note 2 has a relatively larger size. Just because of this fact, a vast majority of Galaxy Note 2 users are required to hold the device with their two hands. So, if you are fond of a mini device, then you can choose iPhone 5, otherwise, you just pick Galaxy Note 2.
Galaxy Note 2 vs. iPhone 5 Display
Display is very important for a smartphone because we need it to do everything, for example, brow a webpage, watch movies and play games. Without it we can do nothing and the phone becomes just of no use at all.
Compared with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 comes with a little larger 4-inch retina display with a 1136 x 640 resolution, but it is not a full HD resolution. However, Galaxy Note 2 offers a larger 5.55-inch HD Super AMOLED display with a 1280 x 720 resolution. It seems that users who plan to watch lots of TV, movies and HD content may appreciate the added 1.55-inch screen size. If you are one of them, without thinking you know which one is the best fit for your needs.
Galaxy Note 2 vs. iPhone 5 Map
At present, to make people’s travel outside more convenient, most smartphones equipped with 3D maps. It really does great help for those who travel frequently.
We know, with the arrival of IOS 6, Apple just give up google map and use its new maps as an alternative. However, according to the reviews from the numerous iPhone 5 users, it seems that Apple’s new map can perform much better. As a popular android device, undoubtedly, Galaxy Note 2 use google map which performs better. So, in this sense, if you need to travel frequently and you are accustomed to rely on the map, you’d better choose Galaxy Note 2, but if you make little use of the map, maybe you can consider to try iPhone 5.
Of course, there are many other differences between Galaxy Note 2 and iPhone 5 and I can’t list all of them here. Click Galaxy Note 2 vs. iPhone 5 and you can learn more.

In my opinion, an efficient PowerPoint presentation owes much to the speaker’s elaborate planning and careful preparation as well as consummate PowerPoint skills. Then I would like to express my view of how to make an efficient PowerPoint presentation.
Content: use more graphics rather than technical terms
If necessary please try your best to express your thoughts by graphics which can make sure your idea understood by your audience easily. And at the same time make your presentation more attractive and impressive.
If your speech content is relatively professional, please take your audience into consideration. You’d better make every effort to avoid the terms which is difficult to understand by your audience. If you have to, please make sure you explain it clearly. Remember that if your audience can not understand what you are talking about, you are just wasting of your time. No need to say make an efficient PowerPoint presentation.
Effects: avoid or reduce the use of effects on formal occasions
It is not recommended to add effects when making PowerPoint presentations on formal occasions. A simple and regular PowerPoint is always above praise but also criticism. Of course it is favored to add some effects on informal occasions but in my opinion it is better to add not more than three kinds. Then your PowerPoint can still keep concise instead of messy.
Image: wear suits and keep smiling
Please wear suit when making a PowerPoint presentation. It helps you to leave an authoritative impression to your audience. I have not ever seen anyone wearing jeans or shirt to make a speech. Do not mention about Bill Gates, he can do this and if you were Bill Gates I would say nothing. And before the presentation, keep energetic and positive while making sure you are proper dressed up. I believe your attitude will have a great influence on your audience. Besides, make sure that keep eye contact with your audience during the speech so that you can communicate with them through eye contact. You can recognize what they want and respond them in time. Thus the audience will know you care about them.
These are all my advice and hope it is useful to you.

As we know, using animation program in the PowerPoint will make our PowerPoint looks more vivid and interesting. It has great significance in attracting audiences' attention. The more attention the audiences paid to our PowerPoint, the more possible we make efficient presentation.
PowerPoint 2010 provides its users with many animation effects. This was supposed to be an advantage, but, in PowerPoint 2010, animation effect of each picture can only be showed one by one. That is to say, we will have trouble in making two or more pictures move at the same time.
Is there any cool way to solve this problem? Of course there is. Actually, it is very easy. If you turn the two or more pictures into one, you can make it. Can you guess the resolution? Ok, let me introduce it to you.
Step 1: insert pictures Open Microsoft Office 2010 and click "Insert" > "Picture" to insert the pictures. Here I just insert two pictures.
Step 2: Combine pictures Select both the two pictures and right click, choose "Group" > "Group". Then the two pictures become one.
Step 3: choose animation effects Click "Animations" > "Animation Styles" to choose animation effects for the picture. Then you have made it. You can see the effects when you click "Slide Show" > "From Current Slide". Here I choose "Swivel".
