Now you can Unprint a Printed Page!

      Scientist at Cambridge University,Britain says that they have developed a new technique which can remove ink from printed pages. The new technique uses short pulses of laser light to delete printed words and images. The laser vapourises the toner ink without damaging the paper. This invenvention opens up the prospect of future computer printers and photocopiers having an "UnPrint" function to allow paper to be reused. The process works on a wide range of toners. The positive aspect is that it does not damage the paper. This technology will be a big boost to those who support saving paper.

            Sony tablet P is a dual screen tablet which runs on android 3.2 honeycomb. Since it is a foldable tablet it can be easily carried and even be crammed into jeans pocket. This tablet comes with Wi-Fi and it also has 3G connectivity. It’s both screens are 5.5 inches each. The bottom part of tablet is pointed and does not feel good while holding for a long time. We can use the top display alone or we can use both top and bottom displays. But the huge drawback is the screens themselves. There is a giant gap between 2 screens and this is definitely annoying. It completely breaks the continuity of the page. Another drawback is the speaker which is not loud enough. Actually most of the android apps are not optimized for working in this screen, so we get a poor experience.

SPECIFICATIONS:
*  Android 3.2 honeycomb OS (can be updated to android 4.0 ics)
*  1 GHz Tegra 2 dual core processor
*  1 GB RAM
*  11” display (two 5.5” displays)
*  1024 x 480 screen resolution
*  4 GB internal memory (expandable upto 32 GB)
*  Camera: 5 MP rear and 0.3 MP front
*  3080 mAh battery
*  Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, 3G, micro USB, GPS
*  Sensors: accelerometer, gyro, compass


PROS:
*  Light and compact
*  Can play PS1 games
*  Good processor performance
*  New dual screen display


CONS:
*  Most android apps works poorly in dual screens
*  Wi-Fi experience not good
*  The giant gap between two screens is a great disappointment
*  Pointed corners of the device make it hard to use


                Sony has surely introduced a unique tablet into the market. Its new folding design makes it easy to carry and use. Its dual screens provide a good online experience but watching movies will not be entertaining. PS1 games can be played in this but still it’s not so good. To make things worse it is also priced high. Considering this price range you will easily get many other good tablets even below this. But if you want to try something unique and easy to carry then you can go for Sony tablet P.
