Our iPads should not be left there without any applications. iPads are made to house applications so when the time comes, we can access it easily. Many Singaporeans are particular about picking top apps regardless of the cost.

If we want to pick top iPad apps this time, this list can help us decide what to consider. The list is derived from App Store’s Official Charts as of July 27, 2015. Here’s the list:

• For top paid iPad apps: For people who would consider paid iPad apps, they have to consider one or all of the following – Minecraft: Pocket Edition (developed by Mojang), Goat Simulator (developed by Coffee Stain Studios), Mods for Minecraft (developed by JK2Designs LL), PAW Patrol Pups to the Rescue HD (developed by Nickelodeon), Build Battle: Mc Mini Game with Multiplayer (developed by ORGONITE DOO), The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (developed by Gameloft), Prune (developed by Joel Mcdonald), Terraria (developed by 505 Games, Inc.), Heads Up! (developed by Warner Bros.) and Trivia Crack (developed by Etermax).

• For top free iPad apps: Top freeiPad apps include SpongeBob Moves In (developed by Nickelodeon), YouTube (developed by Google, Inc.), Agar.io (developed by Miniclip.com), Netflix (developed by Netflix, Inc.), Messenger (developed by Facebook, Inc.), Block Craft 3D: City Building Simulator (developed by Fun Games For Free), Despicable Me: Minion Rush (developed by Gameloft), Facebook (developed by Facebook, Inc.), Colorfly: Coloring Book for Adults (developed by Fun Games for Free) and Pinterest (developed by Pinterest, Inc.).

This should keep us busy for some time. Before we install these applications, we have to make sure that our memory can handle it. If it can’t be helped, we have to give up something.

With the release of Apple watch last month, consumers are all about finding concrete and good reasons to justify a $17,000 expenditure for a wrist watch. Apple’s arch-nemesis, Google, already has its own watch OS—the Android Wear; and brands like LG, Motorola, and Samsung make smartwatches that run it. The war between Apple Watch and Android Wear are going hot. Here’s how the two compares.

Design

The newly launched Apple Watch isn’t just another futuristic gadget, but a statement fashion piece. Apple made sure that their smartwatches look as good as traditional timepieces in the market with its promising selections—the Watch Sport, Watch, and Watch Edition. Wrapped in aluminium (Watch Sport), steel (Watch), and gold (Watch Edition), these watches come in two different sizes: 38mm and 42mm.

On the other hand, if you want the traditional round look of a wrist watch, Google has is for you. However, with so many Android Wear watches in the market, we find that only Huawei Watch and Motorola Moto 360 are the ones that look attractive. The rest, they look like nerd toys instead of fashion accessories.

Battery Life 

One of the major concerns about the Apple Watch is the battery life. Apple claims that the watch can last for 18 hours, which means you’ll need to recharge the watch every night. And for someone who uses the watch more than usual, this can be a problem as you’re likely to be left with a dead watch before your day ends.

However, before bashing the Apple Watch, keep in mind as well that Android Wear also bears the same problem. Just like Apple, it doesn’t have promising battery life span.

Pricing

The least expensive you can buy from the Apple Watch line is the 38mm Watch Sport, which costs a hefty $350 in US. The 42mm of the same model costs $400. The 38mm Watch will cost you $550, while the 42mm of this model will set you back at $550. For the luxurious Watch Edition, you could end up paying a skyrocketing price of $17,000! Seriously, that’s one pricey gadget.

For a much more affordable option, Android Wear has so many to offer. Starting anywhere between $200 and $300, you already have numerous options to choose from.

The new Apple Watch hasn’t been in the market for so long, so maybe we haven’t seen its full capacity yet. And for the pricing, who knows, maybe Apple will finally take the plunge and compete against Google’s pricing—though knowing Apple, it’s never going to happen but hey we can dream!

Satellite speakers on the other hand are comprised of small speakers that come with subwoofer. Floorstanding have the best sound quality if the space is enclosed but it can utilize much space.

• Matching speakers with components: You can hear good quality sound if you match the speakers with the right components. You just do not put anything you think is best for your speakers. You have to take note of the manufacturer’s specifications. For example, manufacturers recommend a specific range of amplifier that goes with your speakers. The specifications are important because it will serve as your guideline in choosing the right component.
