The Canon IP100 Portable Printer now stands at 2.4 in x 12.7 in x 7.2 in (L x W x H). This may sound like it’s a bit bigger than the previous model, but it doesn’t cause too much of a problem. It’s even heavier than the previous Canon portable printer, but it still does its job very well. Also, this is still very portable despite the small increase in size.

The Canon IP100 Portable Printer looks sleek. It was given a silver matte finish with some glossy panels at the sides. It also sports a paper tray that you can extend from out of the printer. Unfortunately, it does not have a Wi-Fi port, so you might want to consider other Wi-Fi-capable portable printers if that is what you are after.

ASUS Transformer Prime: The Best Android Tablet to Date?

The ASUS Transformer Prime is one of the best tablets I have had my hands on. Why do I say that? It only happens to be the first tablet in the world to sport a 4-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor! How neat is that? Aside from that, it’s also got a dozen GPU cores and runs Google’s latest Ice Cream Sandwich OS at blistering pace.

You might think this is a bulky monster of a machine, but that’s where your thoughts are wrong. I couldn’t imagine how thin it was at .33inches. It’s even thinner than the iPad 2.

Moving on, the screen specifications have also been improved. It now makes use of Super IPS + display plus the Corning Gorilla Glass protection. Now what does this all mean? Asus improved on the brightness of the screen by 600 units. However, the brightness is not an issue when using the ASUS Transformer Prime outdoors. It also means that you can dump this android tablet into your bag without fear of having the screen scratched from whatever sharp objects that might be laying near the tablet. However, I advise you to not be so careless about this situation. Too much of anything could be dangerous.

Another feature I find worth mentioning is that the ASUS Transformer Prime has an 8mp camera. It’s also got LED flash as well as focus. I believe not all tablets carry this feature, right? More on the camera features, it also boasts of f2.4 aperture. Now this means it’s smaller than the standard f2.8. And if you’re not familiar with apertures, this means that the smaller the aperture, it means that you can get more light even if you’re in extra dark areas.

As for the rest of the ASUS Transformer Prime, everything looks excellent. The finish is just marvelous. Holding this android tablet in your hands will make you feel like you are holding a really expensive piece of gadget.

However, not everything’s good news about the ASUS Transformer Prime. It could be a little on the heavy side. So you have to watch out when leaving your tablet on the sides of the table. Otherwise, you might see your ASUS Transformer Prime land on the floor in slow motion.

As for the battery life, it lasts 10 hours on moderate use. Add the mobile dock in the equation and you can add an extra 6 hours to that. Pretty awesome, huh?

In conclusion, I’d say the ASUS Transformer Prime will be a good purchase. It’s got great looks, outstanding 8mp camera, and the performance is commendable, too. What else can you look for in an android tablet?

Another great feature of this Pentax DSLR is aptly named the Dust Alert. With this feature, you are shown just where dust particles have settled on the image sensor.
