Here we present you the tablets that are our top 5 of the year 2012. We tested cost-performance, usability, battery performance and general hardware performance.
Rank 5 goes to Asus's Transformer pad TF 300, because it is quite fast(tegra 3 quad-core) and it also was the first tablet with Nvidia's tegra 3.
On the fourth place we have Samsung's Galaxy note 10.1. Its performance is quote good, but not as good as quad-core tablets. We didn't like the quality, because it feels like cheap plastic.
Rank 3 is the Nexus 10,which is manufactured by Samsung, too but it is a Nexus device, this means you will get the fastest firmware updates and you have a stock android UI. Its display also has the highest resolution you can find on the market, even higher than the iPad 4's Retina display.
Rank 2 is the Asus TF700 Infinity, because it has the fastest clocked tegra 3 chip set, this means it is one of the fastest tablets on the market. The resolution is very high, too. It has a resolution of 1900*1200, which is HD resolution.
And rank 1 goes to Google's Nexus 7, which is also manufactured by Asus. Its pricing is really cheap. It only costs 199$ with 16gb storage. For this price you get a 7" tablet with HD resolution, a tegra 3 quad-core cpu , GPS,NFC, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It also gets the fastest android updates you can get, because software support is done by Google itself. The quality is very good as well. This makes it our favorite tablet of the year 2012.
Let's hope we see many cool tablets and phones this year, too. Happy new year everybody!

Help the web to stay free and open!
As you might know, governments try to license and control the world wide web again and again. If this would happen, you wouldn't find free information on the web. You also wouldn't be allowed to say what you think, even if it's against the government. They could get your private data from sites like Facebook or Google. This means they are able to find out who you are, what you like and where you live. We already had this in Germany(DDR), but this was different. Today you can get much more information about people on the Internet. Help to keep the world wide web free and independent at: https://www.google.com/takeaction/

[Virus Warning] People seeking for Usb drivers for windows 8 to run their Androids are being targeted with malware !
Cybercriminals have started targeting Android device owners looking to connect and modify their smartphones and tablets. They are using searches for phrases like “Windows Android drivers” and everything in between to serve up malware for Windows computers as well as malware for Android devices distributed via fake Google Play stores.One such Yahoo search result is for the Samsung Galaxy GIO S5660 but naturally it is very likely cybercriminals are targeting more than just one device and on more than just one search engine.
Nevertheless, visiting the Russian URL in question automatically downloads a file called install.exe, detected by GFI as as Trojan.Win32.Generic!BT.The Trojan modifies Internet Explorer’s homepage to a sign-up page for a Russian “escort” site. Yet the scam doesn’t stop there. If a user accesses the same site via an Android device, he or she is led to various different malicious sites.One of them takes the user to Russian sites containing fake search results. All the links on the search pages direct users to one of five fake Google Play stores:
GFI says:
“Thinking that they’re on the actual Google Play website, it is highly likely that users may end up downloading malware onto their mobile devices.” We don’t think it’s “highly likely,” especially given that the searcher set out looking for USB drivers, but it wouldn’t be the first time Android users are duped by fake Google Play stores.Either way, there are two kinds of Android Trojan premium SMS apps being distributed on these fake stores, both detected as Trojan.AndroidOS.Generic.A. Like the majority of Android malware, these malicious apps sends expensive international text messages to earn their creators revenue. Some variants even connect to a Command & Control (C&C) server to send and retrieve data, as well as await further instructions.
GFI offers the following advice:
These fake markets are looking more and more sleek and professional, so extra care is advised. Only visit and download genuine apps from the real Google Play website by keying in play.google.com to the address bar of your mobile or PC internet browser. This ensures that you will not be directed to sites that merely look like the actual site. This also ensures that the readily available apps you wish to download are not malicious.Yet GFI has forgotten about the other side of the story. Windows users looking for Android USB drivers should heed the same advice: only navigate to official sources to download tools for your phone. These include the site for your phone’s manufacturer as well as your carrier’s site.
