I just got my brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab last Friday, the perfect new toy for the weekend. The device itself is great. Build quality is excellent and I really like the 7” size. My iPad is still great but somehow I like the Samsung Tab better because of the smaller size and weight. Software wise Android is still “a bit” behind iOS and I hope that the next Android releases from Google will close part of the gap  regarding smoothness of UI and eye candy. Anyway, I wanted to test our the game playability on the large screen estate of the Tab and tested out quite a few games over the weekend. Here are my summary of the best games I found that I love playing on the 1024×600 resolution screen (it is great, not as good as the Retina but still extremely good). Personally, I love simple games with great value for sporadic gaming, so you won’t find SIMs on my list below.

I just upgraded my HTC Hero Android phone to the new Nexus One (N1) from Google. First impressions are really great, and there are plenty of in depth reviews out there so I won’t cover that part. On the other hand, what I wanted to do was to transfer all my SMS text messages, the call logs and the access points (APNs) from the Hero to my new N1. Unfortunately, Google has upgraded the format of Android’s SMS storage as the Hero is running Android 1.5 while the N1 one is on v.2.1, so just creating a backup on the Hero and restoring the messages on the N1 was not possible without some tweaks. So far, this has been tested only for HTC Hero to Nexus One, but I’m sure other < v.2.0 Android phones can use the same process.
