<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Tablets are a lot better at being entertaining than at making you productive. Hence, this article is all about filling dead time with fun and entertaining apps. Now if you ever find yourself bored or stuck waiting, get out your tablet and kill time with the following fun Android Honeycomb apps.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Browse The News</h2>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
The good thing about news is that there are new ones every day. So whenever you have some free time to fill, there will be a new story for you to discover. A really great way to do that on your Android device is Pulse.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<img alt="android honeycomb apps" border="0" class="aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/41c2dea93fTime01.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/41c2dea93fTime01.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Pulse is an application that turns articles from your favorite websites into streams of little tiles. The tiles can either contain an image and the headline or the headline and a brief summary. With Pulse you can browse the strings of articles from different sources.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<img alt="honeycomb android tablet" border="0" class="aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/fee6fe0d58Time05.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/fee6fe0d58Time05.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Articles you want to read will open in a slide-in window to the right-hand side. It allows you to both keep the present article open and browse other news stories at the same time. You can either view the posts in a compact text view (shown below) or load the website within the same window.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
We also covered Pulse for Android and iOS in the MakeUseOf Directory.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
For fans of old school newspapers, Pulse may be a little too flashy. If that’s you and if you got a tablet nevertheless, maybe PressReader for Honeycomb will make you a little more content.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Listen To Music</h2>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Just want to zone out and listen to a few tunes? TuneIn Radio is one of the best apps to browse over 50,000 channels, including local presets and national networks from around the world.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<img alt="honeycomb android tablet" border="0" class="aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/a759cad494Time04.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/a759cad494Time04.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Entertain The Brain</h2>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
News can be heavy stuff and maybe you’re not in the mood for audio centered entertainment. If you’re looking for some less serious and quiet entertainment, there are a couple of Android Honeycomb apps to stimulate that grey matter in a fun way. My favorite is Funny Facts, an app with random facts sorted into various categories, such as science, celebrities, or sex. It also includes famous quotes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<img alt="apps for android honeycomb" border="0" class="aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/fcd4f0e64bTime03.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/fcd4f0e64bTime03.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Another great way to waste some time and do something for your education at the same time is reading Wikipedia. Wikipedia for Honeycomb Tablet actually is a Wikipedia browser in which you can store your favorite pages as bookmarks.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Play A Game</h2>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
There aren’t a lot of cool free games optimized for Honeycomb out there. You will find a few basic ones, for example Minesweeper. One that is much more fun is Cordy, a 3D puzzle platform game. A little robot called Cordy runs through its world, collecting zap drops and once he has collected enough energy, he can power up the level, which will open the exit door.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<img alt="apps for android honeycomb" border="0" class="aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/a3da149146Time07.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/a3da149146Time07.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
The first four levels are free. To play the full 27 levels you need to buy the game for $4.99.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Draw</h2>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
In the event that you have to entertain a bored toddler, get DrawFree, a basic drawing Android Honeycomb apps. It may also be useful to illustrate something or make a quick note when pen and paper are not handy.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<img alt="skype for android" border="0" class="aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/b2dbf2aa53roid10.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/b2dbf2aa53roid10.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />Skype, the popular application for voice and video calls, supports a range of mobile operating systems, including Android. Unfortunately, the list of supported devices for video calls is limited. This has been a major source of disappointment.<br />
With its recent upgrade, Skype for Android white-listed 14 more devices for video calling, including three tablets running Android Honeycomb: the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Motorola Xoom, and the Acer Iconia Tablet. Unfortunately, the video calling option is not enabled by default. This article will walk you through the setup as seen on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Android 3.1 (Honeycomb).<br />
<h2 style="font-size: 1.5em;">
Step 1: Install Latest Version Of Skype For Android</h2>
If you don’t have Skype installed yet, navigate to the Android Market on your tablet and search for Skype or simply visit this link to install Skype.<br />
<img alt="skype for android" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/c4aeb412e8roid01.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/c4aeb412e8roid01.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br />
If Skype is already installed on your tablet, check whether it was updated automatically or update the app manually. Navigate to the Android Market and click on > <em>My apps</em> in the top right of your screen.<br />
<img alt="skype android app" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/dcce301dcfroid04.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/dcce301dcfroid04.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br />
Select Skype from your list of installed applications and then click a button that says > <em>Update</em>, provided you see it. If you have automatic updates enabled, your Skype will already be up to date. To confirm the version, click on > <em>See details</em>.<br />
<img alt="skype android app" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/77fedc1526roid03.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/77fedc1526roid03.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br />
<h2 style="font-size: 1.5em;">
Step 2: Enable Video Calling</h2>
Open Skype from your apps. While in the Skype menu view (<em>Contacts, Recent, Call Phones</em> and <em>Profile</em>), tab the menu button in the bottom left and open > <em>Settings</em>.<br />
<img alt="skype android app" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/04f3e83517roid09.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/04f3e83517roid09.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br />
In the <em>Settings</em> view, scroll down to the section that says > <em>Video calls</em>. Check the box for > <em>Enable video calling</em>.<br />
<img alt="skype on android" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/afe220807droid06.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/afe220807droid06.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br />
A message may pop up notifying you that the device has not yet been certified to work with Skype. Click > <em>Continue</em> to enable video calls.<br />
<img alt="skype on android" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/15909532c4roid07.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/15909532c4roid07.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br />
While enabling video calling, Skype will automatically reload. Once this procedure has completed, you can go ahead and adjust other video calling settings to meet your preferences or make your first video call with your tablet.<br />
<img alt="skype on android" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/a3148d029broid08.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/a3148d029broid08.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br />
<h2 style="font-size: 1.5em;">
Step 3: Make a Video Call</h2>
When you now attempt to call one of your contacts, the > <em>Skype video call</em> option will appear on the list of actions.<br />
<img alt="skype video call" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/c6eaa4b6bcroid05.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/c6eaa4b6bcroid05.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br />
While on a video call with a friend, you can tab the screen to switch or turn off the camera. Click the camera icon in the bottom right to access the camera selection. Per default, Skype will use the > <em>Front camera</em>. On tablets featuring a backside camera, you can also switch to the > <em>Back camera</em>.<br />
<img alt="skype for android" border="0" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ed0860c866roid02.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ed0860c866roid02.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" /><br />
The new version of Skype supports both portrait and landscape mode for video calls. To switch from one mode to another, enable auto rotation on your tablet and simply move your tablet around.<br />

Your cell phone’s functionality will soon go beyond the PDA, digital camera or music player roles that it serves today. In the future, it will also become your wallet, credit card, car key, home doorway key, or a personal remote control for multiple appliances. It could well be your personal identity as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
