  • Apple's iOS isn't the only tablet and phone operating system available. In fact Sales of Android Phones worldwide are higher than the sales of iPhone's as of December 2012. Android devices are very affordable and currently there are over 800,000 apps in the google play store for Android. What's it like to use an Android Tablet though? Let's find out ;)
    More info on Android here: en.wikipedia.o...)
    Don't forget to visit the OSFirstTimer forums here: osfirsttimer.fr...
    Tasks Given:
    What time is it?
    Write, Save and Open a text document
    Add a desktop shortcut for the notes application
    Calculate 15x86
    Change the desktop background
    Take a photo of a UFO in the sky
    Change the Brightness
    Turn off your computer
    The mother in this video uses Windows XP (2001) as her main OS duel booted with Elementary OS (a fast Linux distro). Would you like to see her try out Linux, Mac, Windows or other operating systems through history such as OS/360 (1966)? Then give your suggestions in the comments section. Give this video lots of likes, views, favorites and comments if you want my mum to try out other operating systems. I am open to any operating system suggestions you give especially if these videos go semi-viral (over 100,000 views). This channel is dedicated to me "introducing" people (mum, dad, me) to different operating systems they have never used before and leaving them to suffer in confusion struggling to do anything in an unknown computer environment... or see if these other operating systems are better than Microsoft Windows.

    Generally we try operating systems out of the box anyway and it was hard enough getting android to run on surface pro so I was kind of over modifying it anymore.

    The best Android tablet is the Google Nexus 7 2nd Generation released in July 2013. The 16GB Wi-Fi was $229. The difference between Google/Microsoft & Apple is that Google & Microsoft are primarily software companies, whereas Apple makes both hardware & software and Apple does not allow it's OS to be copied to other devices,, so you don't have hardware choices when it comes to Apple. You have many Android & Windows devices to choose from

      Apple doesn't make hardware. They get their CPUs from Foxconn (but for iPhone 3GS and below they got it from Samsung) and then claim it their "new invention". Same for their "Retina Display", it was also from Samsung and also claimed it their invention. Samsung cancelled LCD partnership with Apple when the war started, Apple then switched to LG Sharp Display.

    • @davinp

    On the Surface Pro, you can install a program called Bluestacks. This will allow you to run all Android apps on an x86 PC. They have a version that is optimized for Windows 8 touch screens. I have this on my Surface and to be honest, I haven't been back to the Windows store--except to install Fresh Paint.

    I wouldn't want to buy an android tablet for that much... I got a surface pro for $1100 and it can run desktop apps and android apps with blue stacks... practically any OS can run on the surface pro which is why I love it so much.... I am OSFirstTimer after all so I love devices that can run unlimited operating systems.

    The price range of nexus 10 is still lower than the overall price range of ipads (excluding the iPad mini). Overall though android devices in general are cheaper than ipads.

  • @OsFirstTimer
    @OsFirstTimer  11 років тому

    A quick google search for android tablets for sale in Australia only showed results for cheap tablets. I am not knocking android in this video saying it's for poor people... I am saying its a great os that's able to run on a variety of tablets with over 800,000 apps even on cheap tablets. Oh course I now know that you can run android on more expensive tablets as well for a better experience but overall its great that android tablets come in so many different shapes, sizes and prices.

    Has anyone ever tried to run a graphical linux binary program on an android device? I'm REALLY curious about what will happen, will it run normally? Will it give an error? Will it run but won't display the GUI of the app at all? If you know this then please tell me.

    • @Official_Lucas37
      @Official_Lucas37 2 місяці тому

      I think it'll give an error, since android only uses Linux as its core/kernel, and the apps are solely running only on the android system, not the kernel, which only makes the core functions of the system run.

    Phillip, Android isn't /made/ for cheap tablets. There are many different tablets running android. Some are cheap, as you said (though many are very terrible), but there are other, better, more expensive tablets such as the Nexus 10 or the Transformer Pad Infinity. It also seems like you haven't used Android much and don't know all of its conventions (not knowing there is a back button on the bottom to go back to the notes screen for example). That being said, I'm glad you had Diana try it.
