Moto Xoom V.S. iPad2: how to convert DVD/Video to android and other mobile devices.

With the recent releases of the first Honeycomb tablet - the Motorola Xoom and Apple's second-gen iPad 2, the tablet computer landscape is finally starting to get interesting. Motorola Xoom has became a powerful rival to iPad 2. In fact, the Motorola Xoom and the Apple iPad are very similar with regard to basic hardware design and functionality. When you break it down, the iPad 2 trounces the Xoom in almost every category. That’s not to say that the Xoom isn’t a really good tablet, but unfortunately the iPad 2 manages to wipe the floor with it in everything from design to performance. That said, the Xoom can still find itself many happy homes with Android enthusiasts. Anyway, let us learn more about them.
The Motorola Xoom is an Android-based tablet computer by Motorola, first tablet to run Google’s Android 3.0 Honeycomb. The Xoom has two cameras. One is a front-facing 2.0 megapixel camera for video chat. The 5.0-megapixel camera on the back is for photos and will take 720p HD video. It captures video in 720p, and the video can be edited in the editing app, Movie Studio. While not as intuitive as iMovie, Movie Studio works fine, and the video quality from the Xoom generally looks better. The Xoom tablet technically offers a more powerful, more capable alternative to Apple's iPad with Google's next generation of Android, Motorola's knack for great hardware, and Verizon's promise of 4G network compatibility. Moreover, with its 10.1-inch HD widescreen display at 1280x800 resolutions, you could enjoy HD video in the thin and light tablet with ease. It will also play Adobe Flash, so web videos are viewable. Below are the formats playable for the Motorola Xoom: H.264, H.263, MPEG-4, MP3, AAC, ACC+ Enhanced, OGG, MIDI, AMR NB, and AAC+. But if you just have some videos in other formats, like MKV, VOB, AVI, FLV, WMA, etc, and want to play them with your new Motorola Xoom, The video converter is the only way you can choose to convert these formats or other unsupported videos to the Xoom playable format at first and then put the converted movies on the Xoom for playback. Also, DVD movies are not supported with Xoom,DVD ripper is necessary to rip your favorite DVD movies to Xoom.
The iPad 2 is the second generation of the iPad designed by Apple Inc. It serves primarily as a platform for audio-visual media including books, periodicals, movies, music, games, and web content. Its size and weight fall between those of contemporary smart phones and laptop computers. The possibility of an SD Card slot is mentioned, but not confirmed, but the report notes iPad 2 will have two cameras, but with components shared with iPad touch, rather than the higher quality iPhone 4 cameras. The cameras on the iPad 2 are as well as an improvement over no cameras at all in the first iPad, but that's about it. The front facing, VGA-quality camera shoots low-resolution footage that's fine for video chats, but the rear-facing camera offers less than a megapixel of resolution. Stretch those images across the iPad's 9.7-inch screen and you are looking at some pretty grainy, noisy shots. Only very bright lighting improves things. The iPad 2 shoots 720p video, which looks higher quality than the photos it shoots, but is still no replacement for the footage a typical point-and-shoot can capture. However, iPad 2 still plays achingly few video formats as well as Motorola Xoom. You have to convert your favorite videos with DVD ripper and video converter, and then enjoy them on your iPad 2 perfectly.

Easily convert DVD/Video to iPhone, Android, HTC,Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry, etc..

With the development of technology, several of media portable players emerged and have enriched our daily life greatly. We enjoy our favorite movies and music with all kinds of portable players such as iPod, iPhone, Zune, PSP, mobile phone and so on. Now, several of the most popular

iPhone- In many ways, the 3GS is a mirror image of the iPhone 3G; externally there's no difference. It's inside where all the changes have happened, with Apple issuing a beefed-up CPU, new internal compass, larger capacities for storage, and improved optics for its camera. More to the point, the release of the 3GS coincides with the launch of iPhone OS 3.0, a major jump from previous versions of the system software featuring highly sought after features like cut, copy, and paste, stereo Bluetooth, MMS, tethering, video recording, landscape keyboard options for more applications, and an iPhone version of Spotlight. It's important to remember that real-world use will be a better judge of the iPhone 3GS' endurance. The large color display, frequently switching between different applications, and heavy 3G or GPS use will drain the battery faster than just making a call. As it's difficult to develop an accurate benchmark for testing battery life while multitasking, your experience will vary widely depending on how you use your iPhone 3GS. There are quite a few things you can do to maximize battery life, but we recommend using Wi-Fi over 3G whenever possible, limiting GPS use, and dimming your display's brightness. The 3Gs is the first iPhone to show the percentage of battery charge on the Home screen.

Android HTC HD2- The HTC HD2 is one mighty Windows Mobile phone, but as we said at its launch, it really should have been running Android. That’s no mere pipe dream however, and we’re not just talking about the upcoming HTC Desire HD: if you’ve got one these epic WinMo slates already, you can now install Android 2.2 Froyo on it quickly and painlessly. Read on to find out how. We’ve seen hacked HTC HD2s running Android before, but it’s always been something
reserved for codes and phone fiddlers only. Now though a quick and easy method, as detailed on TalkAndroid, has emerged, which loads a snazzy ROM of Android 2.2 Froyo. All that’s required is an SD card with 600MB of free space, the ability to open some named folders, and a willingness to void your warranty, which could leave you with a big bill should something go away. Still, this Android 2.2. Froyo installation procedure for the HTC HD2 looks pretty painless, and should certainly breathe a new lease of life into the phone, which still boasts top of the line specs, but a stale OS that even Microsoft has washed its hands of with Windows Phone 7.
