NextBook Premuim 8 SE Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwicha Quick Review.

This NextBook Premium *SE tablet, runs Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich and is under $200.00. 
(Around $167.00 on Amazon) 
It's decent for the price and I thought I would give it quick review.
It's quick with very little lag, it feels sturdy and solidly built. 
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich works well. Android 4.0 runs smoothly and is stable on this little tablet.
I like the 8 inch form factor. 
I feel like it's worth the money. So far so good.

HTC Radar Windows 7.5 Mango. Or Windows 7.5 Mango rides in the middle....

I recently picked up a new phone, running Windows Phone Mango 7.5.
Android is my phone operating of choice and Android is my favorite.
I've used the Android OS on the Android G1 and the Samsung Vibrant (2.3 OS) is my current phone.
That being said, I am famililar with IOS devices and the iPhone is a great phone with a stable experience.
But,what if you need a new smart phone?
Or- are new to the smart phone world?
Which do you choose?
It's hard to choose between Android and the iPhone.
Android and iPhone users are very opinionated.
So of course the information may be biased.
After all, Android is the best and so is iPhone.
But, what if you can't make up your mind?
All the details, spec's, opinions, pro and cons, the flaws of each, along prices,
upgrade fees and service plan details, make a choice in phones and
the operating system associated with the phone, more complicated than it has to be.
So where's the middle ground?
Is there a middle ground?
Yep.
Personally, I think if you are looking for that middle ground, consider Windows Phone 7.5 Mango operating system, running on a phone like the HTC Radar.- Suprisingly, it is a very viable choice.

Testing...

Trying out a blogging program for Windows Phone 7.5.
It appears to work......we will see.

If you're interested, the
phone is the HTC Radar.
Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango"
is the operating system.

$5.00 Camera LCD Monitor or External Camera Monitor for Cheap!

Here's a cheap camera monitor I use. 
It was part of an Audiovox 5 inch dual LCD, portable VCP player. 
The monitor was picked up for $5.00! 
This helps to me make the "quality," YouTube videos that I do. 
It was dirt cheap. It works for me.
You might find something similar out there for the about the same cost.
It's easy and cheesy. Works great.
It's a $5.00 LCD camera monitor....

How I grow my Solar Garden.

I thought I would show how I grow my Solar sunflowers.
It's quick and easy.
They take about 4 weeks to grow.
Which is fast for sunflowers.
I like the results.
