Whether you’re in the mood to listen to Justin Timberlake’s new album, read Harlan Coben’s latest bestseller or discover a new game to play, you want the experience of finding and making your purchase to be quick and easy. Today we’ve started rolling out a redesigned Google Play store on Android phones and tablets that is simple, clean and — most importantly — helps you find great entertainment, fast.

The new design focuses on bigger images that jump off the page. Similarly themed content is grouped together so you can hone in on a magazine to read or an app to try. As you move down the page, new recommendations continue to appear so there is always more to see and explore. We’ve also simplified purchasing so you can breeze through checkout and get to enjoying your movie rental or other content.

The redesigned Google Play store app starts rolling out today for Android phones and tablets running Android 2.2 (Froyo) and above. People around the world should see it over the next few weeks. Get ready for a simpler Google Play.

Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt

Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt

Tomorrow, March 6, 2013, is the launching of CM Fusion Bolt, again the latest blow by CM to disrupt the local competition on gadgets after they successfully launch CM Flare last year.

The price point of this tablet is so insane, that you can say to yourself, its too good to be true, yet it is true indeed! With the specs below, surely you will be in awe.

7-inch IPS LCD HD display (1280 × 800 resolution), 216ppi
5-point multitouch display
1.0GHz quad-core Actions Semiconductor ATM7029 processor
Vivante GC1000+ GPU

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
4,000mAh Li-Ion battery
186.2mm x 126.9mm x 10.8mm
320 grams
SRP: Php3,999

The price is of this tablet really mesmerize me, at first glance, you will be in awe, how CM come up to this tablet with such a low price.

With some local tech blogs already review the tablet, the benchmarks did not live up to what its supposed to be, a quad-core tablet, that has benchmark score of a dual-core smartphone/tablet, is not bad either. Let us not be blinded with this perception, some say its just marketing strategy for CM to state its a quad-core yet performs only like a dual-core, that might be true, BUT, we can’t erase the fact that still this tablet priced only @Php 3,999.00 or $99.00 tablet.

With the specs and price mentioned above, with those benchmarks scores, this is still a Bang-for-the-buck! With just those stunning IPS HD screen, 1GB RAM, and sweet JellyBean OS, for just a 4K? I could say, I couldn’t ask for more.

Sadly, the launching tomorrow is not nationwide, only selected stores, hope after launching, this tablet will be available elsewhere. For I can’t wait my hands to droll on this tablet. 🙂

For Video Review/ Q&A on this tablet fell free to view the YouTube video made by the local tech bloggers on this tablet.

Update! Cherry mobile post on their FB page a benchmarks scores of that supposed to be a final fusion bolt that to be release tomorrow! See the scores below!
