The shape of the Kindle Fire HDX definitely is more interesting than your average black rectangular tablet. Unlike the Kindle Fire HD -- which has soft, rounded corners -- every edge of the HDX is angled, offering an aerodynamic aesthetic look.

The new Nexus 7 has usurped the iPad mini's long-held reign as the thinnest sub-10-inch tablet around. At 7.9 x 4.5 x 0.34 inches and 10.24 ounces, the new Nexus 7 is narrower, thinner and lighter than Apple's 8-inch tablet (7.87 x 5.3 x 0.28 inches, 11.04 ounces).
The new Nexus 7 is slightly taller, but narrower and thinner than the original Nexus 7 (7.8 x 4.7 x 0.41 inches), and almost two ounces lighter. It also cuts a slimmer profile than the Amazon Kindle Fire HD (7.6 x 5.4 x 0.4 inches, 13.9 ounces).

The AT&T version lasted 10 hours and 42 minutes, while the Verizon model lasted 9:14. All of these runtimes are great.

I am just trying to give you the near cheap data plans from all the major internet service providers which you can review and compare yourself to help you make the right choice of a data plan for your android device.
Please Note: The first think to consider when making a data plan choice is research how good a particular network is in your neighborhood, this is very important, for example if Airtel Nigeria decides to sell 1Gb of data for 100Naira and all you have is EDGE in your area for Airtel , then you will just waste your 100 Naira because you will not be able to do anything with it. EDGE is already yesterday’s technology and even it is important to know the speed of 3G/WCDMA/UMTS/HSDPA in your area if you have one, because some are as bad as EDGE.

BlackBerry Z10 review
The company hasn't exactly bet the proverbial farm on this BB10 release, but with massive financial losses tempered only by job cuts, plus an absolutely tectonic shift among the executive leadership and corporate culture architected by CEO and President Thorsten Heins, the phrase "make or break" feels pretty apt. So, then, is this the phone that's good enough to woo buyers away from the Galaxy S III or the iPhone 5 or any of the other delicious devices on the other platforms? The short answer is that no, as of now it isn't quite -- but of course it's a lot more complicated than that. Join us as we explore.
Cheap Android Phones - Price & Specs
Tecno Phantom Pad Specs & Price - N9 Android Tablet
Tecno Phantom Pad (a.k.a Tecno N9) is an 8.0-inch Android tablet with
fast processors and fast internet for your entertainment and
communications. It is the first tablet from Tecno and looking at the
price and specs of this device compared with that of competitors, it
seems Tecno is leading the fight against the over-pricing of tablets in
Nigeria.
8-inch Android Tablet
With Tecno now building 5-inchers, it was only a matter of time before they land a tablet, the Phantom Pad is that tablet and is more or less like an enlarged Tecno Phantom A+. It features a reasonable 1.2GHz quad-core processor, which on paper is more powerful that the dual-core processors on latest generation Samsung Galaxy Tab while still coming at up to 15,000 Naira cheaper, making it probably the best value tablet in Nigeria right now.Tecno Phantom Pad runs Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), which should offer decent performance with 1GB RAM. You can make cellular calls and SMS on the Phantom Pad. The tablet also supports 2 SIMs, probably the first dual-SIM tablet we have published on this site.
The 8.0-inch display is bright and crisp with 768 x 1024 pixels resolution. The Tecno Phantom Pad features 2 cameras; a 5 megapixels camera with 720p HD video recording and flash at the back and 2 megapixels front facing camera for videocalling on Skype and similar services.
Tecno M7 Specs & - 5-inch Android
The Hardware & Software
Tecno M7 features a 1.3GHz dual-core processor with 1GB RAM, which should run Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) for a decent performance for browsing, gaming and apps.Tecno M7 comes pre-loaded with Facebook, Opera Mini, Twitter with loads of Google Apps like GMail, Google+, Google Talk, YouTube and over 600,000 apps available for download at the Google Play Store.
Display & Camera
Tecno M7 spots a 5.0-inch touch display with a little more pixels added with 480 x 854 px resolution, which should make the M7's display slightly better than the N7.
