Simple methods to earn cash online


If you are looking to create some extra cash there are some good possibilities on the internet to increase your financial situation.  Here are some of the best and simplest ways to generate income on the internet.

If you want to create why not set up your own weblog and generate income by enabling companies to promote on it. Services such as Blog writer or Blog writer are free and easy to use so even the most unskilled individual will be up and running in no time. Set up an account with Google AdSense to earn promotion revenue; the service uses special technology to focus on your weblogs with appropriate promotion. And, as well as earning cash from promotion you can increase your income with affiliate hyperlinks too. Hire visitors from social networks like Tweets. You will need to upgrade your website consistently and create about things that people are interested in!





Taking surveys online can be a good way to make money online with very little effort. You simply sign up with online survey companies, complete your personal profile so that they can send you any relevant survey opportunities, and they will email you regularly with surveys to complete. Surveys generally take between 10 and 30 minutes to complete, although some may take longer and require you to participate in an online panel, or discussion group. Rewards vary from site to site so you may find that once you’ve been doing this for a few months you will  trim down the number of sites you use and focus on one or two well paying ones.

Writing reviews can also be another good money spinner. Sites such as ciao and dooyoo will pay you for reviewing anything and everything under the sun. As well as earning for writing the review, you will also be paid a small amount each time someone reads and positively rates your review. Most review sites operate an additional incentive whereby the best reviews each month will receive extra rewards. Some review sites have a minimum threshold for cashing out and others don't so look into this before you decide which ones you want to join.



Generating revenue as you invest appears to be very eye-catching – and you can do this if you use a procuring website when you buy on the internet. You basically sign-up on the internet and then, when you buy something, use the weblink offered to the store on the procuring website.  The store in query will pay the procuring website for presenting you as a new client and then the procuring website goes that transaction on to you. Almost all websites protect shops and solutions that clients use in their every day purchasing. Some procuring websites are free to be a part of and others cost a fee – usually those that take a fee will basically subtract if from the money that is currently in your consideration with them

Nexus 10 vs iPad 4,Which One Do You Favor?

Thanksgiving day means the start of the shopping season.I am also planning a shopping list for this crazy shopping holiday. Actually I am more into electronic products. Like the coming Google Nexus 10(nexus 7 is already on sale at Google Play Store) and iPad 4. May be you are also stuck with which one to choose, so today let's have a tour with what's the difference between them.

nexus 10 vs iPad 4

1 Display

Google nexus was released on the end of October this year which get the 10.055 display screen, and the resolution up to 2560×1600(which you can play 1080P video easily) and The number of pixels per inch reaches to 299 ppi which is much more than iPad 4. It has almost reached the standard of the retina screen. This will enable to display the video in a more delicate way. That's what a lot Android tablet manufacturers are doing in the coming days. For the display screen is another focus of competition after the competition in the dual core processors.



When Apple released its New iPad, it was regarded as the best performing screen, even iPad 2 is under this standard.iPad 4 take the same display screen like the New iPad, which gets the 9.7-inch LED-backlit IPS TFT screen,resolution 2048×1536,the number of pixels per inch reaches to 264 ppi. iPad 4 still gets 4:3 screen aspect ratio,this the important feature of Apple iPad.
iPad 4 display


Although Nexus 10 gets many highlights,there is no doubt that the ultra-high resolution screen is its biggest selling point.As expected,Google tried to take advantage of this biggest selling points to inform that Google Nexus 10 is very suitable for reading e-books and magazines.It has a resolution sufficient to provide the visual experience of the printing quality of similar paper.Apple iPad 4 does have better contrast and viewing angle


2 Workmanship and design

In addition to the configuration and performance that everyone concern,the workmanship and design are also the important factor which the consumer consider to buy a product or not.From the appearance of Nexus 4 and iPad 4, we can fell that they get totally different design style.

Nexus 10 is very thin,mainly due to the relatively light materials.With a very strongly plastic feel and painted matte texture coating in the back,the beauty and touch feel may be less than the iPad 4, but more scratch-resistant.


From the look,iPad 4 is a copy of the new iPad. And thick body fell show the high design level.iPad 4 gets the aluminum shell. If not protected well, it will be scratched after a long time use.
iPad 4 aluminum shell

You can also discover that as for the different screen size and aspect ratio,Google nexus 10 has a more slender body. For the Dimensions, Google Nexus 10 is 263.8×177.8×8.9 mm,weight 603 g; iPad 4 is 241.2×185.7×9.4 mm,weight 662 g.

3 Hardware

As for a new iPad, iPad 4 made some changes based on the former. It didn't get a new name like iPad S/L due to it gets new 1.4 GHz dual core A6X processor and four core PowerVR SGX 554MP4 graphics processor, with which other iPad products are not equipped with A6X processor perform twice better than A5X, so do the display performance, but the power consumption has been effectively controlled.

Nexus take the Samsung Exynos 5250 dual core processor, which goes better than any Android device in the processor performance as well as the graphics processor performance. The picture below is a fill test, you can tell the difference between Nexus 10 and iPad 4.

4 Memory

For Google Nexus 10, it gets 2 GB RAM, providing 16GB, 32GB two capacity versions. It does not support microSD memory card expansion.

iPad 4 gets the 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB versions,not supporting microSD memory card expansion.However,these capacity version can almost meet the daily need for personal use.

5 Connectivity

When it comes to connectivity,iPad 4 gets a very distinct advantage which is it support to connect to LTE. But the Nexus 10 only gets the 3G version, not include the 3G+WIFI version.But you don't have to be impatient if you are an Android tablets fan,Google will add the 3G version Nexus 10 like Nexus 7 later.


6 Camera

iPad 4 is equipped with a 5 megapixel main camera and 1.2 megapixel front camera;Nexus 10 has a 5 megapixel main camera and 1.9 megapixel front camera.

As the matter of high resolution,Nexus 10 is the only one with a large capacity battery can be comparable with the iPad 4.The battery capacity of Nexus 10 is 9000 mAh,11560 mAh for iPad 4. Wish Nexus 10 with such a large capacity battery will be able to run a full day.


7 Price

With a lot of the hardware configuration details,you must want to know the price.Nexus 10 16 GB, 32 GB version priced at $ 399 and $ 499.Apple iPad 4 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB WiFi version is priced at $ 499, $ 599 and $ 699;LTE version of each capacity increase of $130 each version, for example 16 GB version priced at $ 629.


8 Operating system and ecological system

Google Nexus 10 is equipped with the latest Android version 4.2 Jelly Bean.The new version has a new unlock screen,it means you don't have to unlock to view text messages, e-mail etc.Keyboard adds the sliding input function;Photo Sphere Camera.You can click here to know what Android 4.2 Jelly bean bring to us. All of these improvements enhance the user experience.

The iPad 4 is equipped iOS 6 operating system. As an iOS tablet, the Apple ecosystem provides a very comprehensive user experience to match the resolution of the Tablet PC version with the match application.
Android seems have a lot to do for the app construction.

In general,Nexus 10 get the best tablet display screen and a reasonable price, but get no 3G/Lt version tablets.
iPad 4 gets a large number of applications optimized for Tablet PC and a powerful A6X dual-core processor, but with high price.
If you are looking for the best Android tablet, and have a money plan, Nexus 10 is a very good choice. If you like iOS operating system as well as a flood of high-quality application, iPad is a good choice.

Designing for Tablets? We’re Here to Help!

Posted by Roman Nurik, who often writes about Android design-related topics on Google+

So you’ve got a great Android phone app on Google Play, your users love it, and you’re kicking back and watching the download numbers soar. Congrats! But like any enterprising developer, you may be thinking, “how do I take my app’s success even further?” The answer: an equally awesome experience on tablets. Users love their tablet apps! For example, Mint.com found that the larger screen real estate allowed tablet users to engage with their budget data 7x more than on phones. And TinyCo found that on average, paying users spent 35% more on tablets than on handsets. So now is the right time to think about how your app translates onto these larger screen devices that are designed to meet users’ more generic, everyday computing needs.

In this post, we’ll recap some of the resources available for crafting a great tablet experience for your users. These resources are useful for everyone in the app development pipeline—from product managers, to designers, to developers, and QA engineers.

Android Design Guidelines

No conversation about Android app design or development should go very far without first consulting the Android Design guidelines. While most of the sections are relevant to all Android devices, certain sections stand out as particularly relevant to design on tablets.

The Devices and Displays page introduces the concept of density-independence. For example, although the Nexus 4, Nexus 7, and Motorola XOOM all have a similar pixel resolution (1280x768, 1280x800, and 1280x800 respectively), they have vastly different screens. Instead of thinking in pixels, think in dips (density-independent pixels)—that way, it’s much easier to conceptualize the difference between Nexus 4 (640x384 dp), Nexus 7 (960x600dp), and Nexus 10 or the Motorola XOOM (1280x800 dp).

Following the 48dp rhythm discussed in Metrics and Grids helps take some of the guesswork out of sizing elements, especially for tablets. When in doubt, use multiples of 48dp (or 16dp for a finer grid) for sizing elements horizontally and vertically. For example, when showing sparse content on larger screens, consider using generous side margins of 96dp or 144dp. Or when deciding how wide your master pane should be in a master/detail layout for 10” tablets, see how your master content looks and feels with a width of 240dp or 288dp.

The Multi-pane Layouts guide discusses use cases and examples for combining related views into a single screen to simultaneously improve app navigation and make optimal use of the available screen real estate. It also discusses strategies for laying out content across both portrait and landscape, all while maintaining functional parity across orientations. Since users enjoy using tablets in both portrait and landscape orientations, it’s even more important to react properly to orientation changes than with phones.

Lastly, the Downloadable Stencils offer designers a great starting point for high-fidelity mockups, complete with reference device outlines, correctly sized action bars, and more.

Android Training for Developers

The Training section of the developer site offers task-oriented technical training material, complete with flow diagrams, code snippets, sample projects and more. Several of these ‘classes’ are geared toward helping developers understand how to scale your apps across any screen size.

The Designing Effective Navigation class—aimed more at the initial design phase of the app creation process—offers a methodology for effectively planning and grouping screens on tablets, and even shows example wireframes for a simple news reader application following this methodology.

The classes Building a Dynamic UI with Fragments and Designing for Multiple Screens demonstrate how to use fragments in conjunction with Android’s resources framework. They show how to easily choose between tablet and handset layouts at runtime while maximizing code reuse and minimizing your application size using resource aliases. They also demonstrate techniques for adapting UI flows based on the current layout.

Lastly, while not precisely a training class, the Supporting Tablets and Handsets document offers even more information about some of these key best practices. And if you’re the type of developer that would prefer to skip the text and jump right into the code, you can even add a Master/Detail flow, complete with handset and tablet support, to your app with just a few clicks using the Android Developer Tools for Eclipse.

Android Design in Action Highlights

Each week, a few of us on the developer relations team get together on the Android Design in Action live show to discuss Android design best practices, as well as provide original ‘redesign’ mockups to help demonstrate our vision of how Android apps should look and feel.

A recent episode focused on the topic of responsive design, or designing flexible apps that can adapt to whatever screen size or form factor they’re run on:

In the episode, we celebrated successful examples of responsive design on Android, ranging from creating calendar events in Google Calendar, to browsing wallpapers and stories in Pattrn and Pocket, to playing video in TED, and finally to managing your conference schedule in the open-source Google I/O 2012 app.

We also regularly feature tablet design concepts on the show (some are shown below), so we highly recommend tuning in each week for design ideas.

 

For even more tablet app inspiration, check out a few of these apps: Expedia Hotels & Flights, Pulse News, SeriesGuide, Tasks and Timer.

The Tablet Quality Checklist

Over in the “Distribute” section of developer.android.com, the recently published Tablet App Quality checklist is a great way to check if your app is tablet-ready along a variety of technical dimensions. You should make sure that everyone involved in your mobile products is aware of  the standards defined in this checklist, as it is one of the ways in which the Google Play team selects apps to feature in the Staff Picks for Tablets collection.

So What are You Waiting For?

2013 is almost here, and it’s looking to be another exciting year for Android tablets. Make sure your app is positioned to succeed in the evolving device landscape by following some of the best practices and examples discussed here and on the rest of developer.android.com.

If you have specific questions about your app, let us know on Google+ (+Android Developers) or Twitter (@AndroidDev)!
